So is JP/EU in as much of a tizzy as NA?

I just don't get why SE hasn't closed servers? Like this is actually ridiculous, I get people are still trying to even start early access, but people took time out their day for this, an in some cases people took work off.. I just dont see SE really doing anything, I understand the apology. But stop apologizing for an just fix it.

While some issues are to be expected, they tend to be of the non-blocking nature.
If I had known that it would be impossible to actually progress the story, I'd have waited with actually buying the expansion, let alone preorder for early access as I only have a few days more that I can actually play before I leave for a couple of weeks.
We want information on what SE is actively doing to help the situation, not "try again later".

The second update from Yoshida. It can also be found here.

This doesn't help whatsoever. This is response you give when you want to do nothing and just sit back and "Hope" it fixes itself. For all we know, the team is just celebrating popping Champagne bottles for a "Successful" Release of a new expansion.

Clearly this act of what's being done for our experience shows the true character of Yoshi P. It's a business and that's what it comes down to. He knows he can take advantage of the players who give you all pay checks. We get fed Copy and pasted response from Corporate.

why would you take the server down if you don't have a fix yet all that does is kill all the people playing older content just to address the people with this issue?

how many people do you thing are still playing in the older areas if you have a fix and you need to take them down to fix it then yes but till there ready to implement something leave them u p i can do other things like learn the changes to my class in HW content

i would rather they fixed it right and take a while than sorta fix it and break something else later

[Seryne]

It's possible to get past it! I did it today! However, I spent six hours clicking Raubahn to get in...

SE, you lot really need to fix this. It absolutely should not take hours of clicking and skipping cutscenes to get past one instanced battle!

this is ridiculous

The wall kinda broke around 2am on Phoenix when enough people gave up and people started getting through and the bottleneck never seemed to come back

I don't understand why moving forward you can't just put MSQ instances in a "Duty finder" type queue as well. This way you don't run into a problem with people just spamming and crowding one area. They are in a queue, a numbered queue in which they know their "Ticket" will eventually be called, in this way they can enjoy other content knowing their "place in line" isn't lost, hence not crowding the same space or NPC.

Sometimes you really need a picture.
