Where's My Falcon?

[enthauptet]

Yes you can... change your recurring payment so it's not monthly and for one time only purchase 90 days or 180 days then change it back after the payment has gone through. You can't have it on the earlier date if you haven't actually subscribed for the 90 days by that point. But if you wanted it earlier, you had the means to make that happen.

TBH I don't even want to touch my sub considering how easy it is to get banned because of their payment vendors. It is weird they setup two separate times they are releasing the items. I've been subscribed since 2013 when afaik month to month was the only payment option. On those 1400 days subscribed...you get it after new players lol. Seems kind of weird, idk what they were thinking.

[ErryK]

you get it after new players

How? I was at 1380 days and I got it in the first wave. If new players are subbing month-to-month, they would also get it in October. The only way they'd get it before you is if they paid 180 days at a time, or applied a gametime card after their first monthly payment in July, towards the Falcon.

You could even get it on the 30th of September with 30 days free sub on a new account by applying two gametime cards for a total of 120 days of sub time. You're going to get the Falcon in the second wave because your third payment will always happen in September, which means the first wave has already gone out, as you're paying for 30 days at a time and unfortunately not 60 days at a time.

Sorry, but I don't think that's quite true. Yes I've seen posts by a few people on here and reddit who have had payment issues and locked themselves out, but a handful of people vs the hundreds of thousands that play every month?

I've been subscribed since 2013 when afaik month to month was the only payment option.

The 30/90/180 day subscriptions have been there since 2.0 launch. Possibly they were there in 1.0, but I can't remember that far back I know I've been on 180 day since the start though and although my second account was initially 30 days at a time, that's now on 180 days as well and both of them got the mounts in the first wave.

On those 1400 days subscribed...you get it after new players lol.

Just depends when your subscription dates are, but if you're only paying month-to-month, it's impossible to get it in the first wave.

The mount I received begs to differ.

Which leads back to my original point that I'm not so certain that the wording is explicitly stating it only begins counting your 90 days from the start of campaign, it's only checking to see if you have accrued 90 days of subscription by the end of August/September.

But that's just my theory. Based on the assumption that, having received the mount myself, paying month to month, and not expecting to have received anything in this first rollout. Obviously also contradicts with every other player maintaining the same payment schedule and not receiving the mount.

Okay impossible was a bit of an exaggeration, there's a very small window where you can do this, but you have to have to have a subscription date fall on either 1st or 2nd July:

30th June-> 29th July (only 29 days carry over)
30th July -> 28th August (30 days)
29th August -> 27 September (30 days)
Total: 89 days

1st July -> 30th July (30 days)
31st July -> 29th August (30 days)
30th August -> 28th September (30 days)
Total: 90 days

2nd July -> 31st July (30 days)
1st August -> 30th August (30 days)
31st August -> 29th September (30 days)
Total: 90 days

3rd June -> 2nd July (only 2 days carry over)
3rd July -> 1st August (30 days)
2nd August -> 31st August (30 days)
Total: 62 days

from a CSR

Greeting Lindsey,

Thank you for contacting Final Fantasy XIV Support Desk

To be eligible for this campaign, you have to fulfil the following requirements:

-Purchase and register a copy of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood
-Subscribe for at least 90 days of play time (excluding free play periods)

The number of days of subscription time added to your account, excluding free play periods, is how eligibility will be determined. This does not mean that 90 days must have elapsed to be eligible. For example, you can still obtain the mount if you purchase a 90-day subscription period on the 30th of September 2017.

If you have remaining subscription time that was purchased before the campaign period, or you have an active recurring subscription we will calculate any remaining game time available as of Saturday 1st of July towards the campaign.

If you meet the requirements by the end of September, the item will be sent to you on or after Thursday, the 5th October via the moogle delivery service.

Thank you very much for your GM call and we wish you a nice day.

Regards,

- The Final Fantasy XIV Game Master Team.

So looks like 5th October 2017 for us Subs

Well what ur saying should give me the eligibility to get the mount but SE said that you can check under VETERAN REWARDS or w/e its called in mog station if you GOING to get it, and mine isnt there! And yes, i pay from month-to-month and i havent skipped a month since the campaign started. So why isn't it showing up as a -going-to-get-item- like they claim it should to be? To me it seems like i am not getting it :\

i think we can ALL agree that this campaign, as for details on them, is a miss >< they shouldve let everyone get it at the same time- and if u didnt get it > u didnt meet the requirements. All this chaos / confusion right now... gg SE ><

I have 180 day automatic renewal ( has been in effect since Ver1.2x without interruption) and the Mog Station doesn't show me as receiving one. At this point I would prefer if they didn't send me one as I will probably discard it in pure disgust.

You sound pretty entitled. I mean this is a campaign for subbing for a game, free stuff

The exact wording they use is:

The item will be added into the "View Additional items" section after the campaign's launch when it becomes available. Please note that it might not be reflected immediately, despite meeting campaign eligibility.
