Two instanced fights? Are you kidding me? Who's bright idea was to lock the expansion behind crashing, bugged solo instances? Spamming a npc for HOURS to try to even play the expansion is so much fun SE! Having a great time.

Seriously, who ever decided this needs to be fired.

Actually I think there's 3 instanced fights? XD

I think I will take a break from playing until I know for sure the new content is actually playable.

Soon we'll be able to get in if all the people threatening to stop playing actually do!

Ha! Any and all fixes are too late now. Its Saturday evening and I very much doubt SE works Sundays. Any fixes will come late Monday or on Tuesday, when official release starts, practically spitting on people who wanted to go through the story early as it was the main draw to them.

In some other words: Early Access was a huge waste of time and the game, to many, is now a viewd as a piece of garbage. It isn't, but you get the effects frustration can have. Their trust in anything SE or the dev. team might do in the future also went down quite a bit.

Early access might as well not have even started. All most people could do was grind new jobs in old content as well as grind gathering in the little spit of area we could reach before the bottleneck quest.

I want this game to do well and the people to be happy with it but this, no this was just evil.

How about an update from SE saying they're sorry about all this again?

[BroodingFicus]

Yeah overall my patience is gone. Yesterday I was fine. Irritated but fine. I spent three hours fate farming for Redmage in old zones before I grew so bored I had to stop. Around 6pm, started the MSQ on my WHM with a tank friend I always level with. We hit the block about two and a half later even though we were taking our time and doing all the side quests in the first little areas. Tried it, couldn't get in. So we went off and chilled in Costa, RPed etc until 2am, came back, still nothing. I tried again at 4:15am before bed. Nope. So I went to sleep and woke up to try around 11am. The group standing out there is even larger than it was yesterday and many of the same people are lingering around. At this point it warrants more of a response than 'come back later, look forward to it'.

My concern now is, what happens if they do nothing by Tuesday? All of us who have been waiting for it to clear out some are now going to have to fight with the actual launch people as well so any progress made toward clearing the bottle neck will be lost. Heck, even if I do manage to slip through, if I want to level with friends, we have to wait for each other. It's all a rather large mess and as someone with the game since ARR launch, I can say it was an easily avoided one. That is what makes it frustrating. It should never have happened, the response should have been faster, and it should have been fixed by now.

It can't be called Early Access if people can't access the content earlier.

My patience is long gone

To whichever dev thought it would be smart to put an instanced fight at the start of an expansion MSQ,
and then everyone else who failed to point out the flaw during checks...

Pretty much we all feel the same... if they were going to try to fix this... just close it... we may loose a day from EA... but as how things are going... it can't be worse then this... the first primal is now affecting people... we are stuck 4 quest in... and all we got is a... I'm sorry... please wait and try later... SE said they wouldn't do this after 2.0... did they forget... or did they think bottle necking us would go well...

Half my friends are past this point... I can't get past... spent yesterday and today trying... I am almost willing to jump to a JP server... get past this point and come back after 3 days... this is wrong...

And what... do we just wait and hope... most people are already 70... and still on the first bottleneck... that seems so wrong considering it just came out... this needs to be fixed...

Either let us skip these instances... or don't have them bottlenecking us at the start... or at all... they must have known that populated datacenters would have issues... and forcing us into the first zone... then saying it can't handle the amount in there... well duh... too bad you forced us in there...

Are the JP servers working with that? :O
