Apology from Yoshi

I'm surprised the "JUST GIVE THEM TIME" team did not show up in this topic already...

Isn't this what preorders are supposed to prevent?

This is why you need open betas with story instances available, let's them see these issues coming up ahead of time, spoilers or not doesn't matter. Dealing with technical issues like this is way more important.

I don't find early-access to be anything more than just what's being said. You get to experience something before others, akin to special midnight showings of new popular movies. Damn right it's gonna be packed as hell, probably uncomfortably so, but that's part of the price you pay if you wanted it at that time. Hell, there's even the risk of it being completely ruined because there's so many people lol.

Thing is though, that even if it didn't happen at early access it's going to happen on the 20th when the gates open and everyone else starts coming in. This should have been set up ahead of time.

Hey, can we at least get an appology minion? I suggest a wind-up Raubahn holding a crossing guard stop sign.

I'll take a day or two of free time.

Oh I know this will never happen again because they will never use this method early in an exapnsion and in the MSQ. That will be the true fix.

Now.. if only I can get past the Steps of Cold Steel....

Well then, at least they are sorry about this blindly obvious and completely foreseeable event taking place.

and then , we are so sorry please just wait your turn

Been hammering at this for hours (I logged in the moment servers went up) and I am determined to get through it. I kind of wonder if we will get any sort of compensation for this.

This may just be grumpiness from a lack of sleep, but I find this to be very bitter. We moved the datacenter to a rather unfavorable place for a larg number of players; and those players swallowed this bitter pill in hope for a more stable launch/early access, but the launch/ea turned out to be a disaster anyway. I also really feel for the people who took time off work just to run into this.

On a different note, considering how other instanced content seem to be working fine, I wonder if they are able to take resources from maybe less popular instances and use them to let more people into coldsteel.

Also, if they seen this ahead of time, I felt like they could have at least implemented a queueing system so people really could hold a spot in an actual line and do other things while waiting for their turn instead of having to hammer away at Raubahn. Raubahn basically became the moogles of Stormblood.

One of my FC mates was just saying that SE should give us some kind of compensation for this. I'm not exactly inclined to disagree.
