SE - Please fix EU situation now

[Alexandre_Noireau]

Don't worry.
Surely the microtransactions of the cash shop will solve those issues!


Oh wait, we've had server issues and limitations since always, but the cash shop sells like hotcakes. Something does not compute~

It's almost like, they plan for X growth over a year, however it suddenly skyrocketed far above their usual expectations in a very very short timeframe. I think the lack of foresight can be forgiven.

Actually no, it can't.
Is not the first time it happens to them.
And if this is indication of whats to come with Endwalker.

Even less of a chance of being excused.

This is truly simple: SE doens't put money back into the game, thats all.

Some people like me made plans to do something together tonight on FF14 instead of doing something else.
I am paying money to play this game, they just released a 25€ mount again, they're making millions up millions.
Some people White Knight every problem like its nothing. Also Classic ^^

So a 20-30min login que is destroying all your plans for tonight? Are you also yelling everytime there is a traffic jam at the city cause they don't make the highway bigger in a instant just so you can get somewhere in time? xD

I mean how dare they making the highway so small, i mean it works for 99% of the time but now there will be a traffic jam for half an hour! That can't be tolerated! And sure, they should make the highway bigger. But i don't want to pay for that with my taxes obviously.

I have the feeling people like you would scream in any case, no matter what. Even if they say they double the sub fee so they can make up for inflation and increased server and developement costs you would probably still scream that it is so unfair.

*Remembers ARR NIN and gets PTSD flashbacks*

And doing Titan Extreme. Doing that fight as a Bard back then with that ping. Yikes lol

I can live with longer login times, even though it's a bit annoying. And I'm happy new ppl join the game so frequently now, however..

..I'm very, VERY worried about the situation, once Endwalker launches. And I'm scared that the launch days, although they are always expected to be kinda chaotic, will be an absolute disaster this time around.

The Shadowbringers Launch was really smooth, and much better that the Stormblood launch for example (just thinking back to Raubahn Savage for example, lol. They definitely leaned from that). But I think they didn't expect such a sudden surge in players and won't be able to upgrade servers until Launchday.Eu situation will most likely be terrible, but I'm totally hoping I'll be proven wrong.

I remember back when there were Titan Hard clear groups and that was considered super hard.
Ah.. Good times. =')

Not what I heard during the latest keynote/interviews.

[Ranaku]

Well it's not that hard to learn about the semiconductor shortage that is going on atm. They even explained it in a statement. But i guess some Xaela still don't understand it.

And it's not like the gaming industry is the only one that is hit by this. It's not like this "news" are going around in most media channels. It's not that hard to miss that most industries which produce hight tech stuff are literally forked by this shortage. There are even documentations out there about this!

I mean heck many car factories had to stop their production cause of this shortage, how the heck can you miss such important news and be so entitled that you think this is a problem that is solved with throwing money at it? You guys think SE can just go to the next black market and order some thousand semiconductors? xD

[KDSilver]

Yeah it crashed, yes it's annoying.
But it'll be fine.

Not like they want to lose their entire EU community and they won't do anything so don't worry.

[MeldinX2]

I mean some crashes are fine. But what i'm worried about is that it will become very frequent. Just today i've had 3 Disconnects in a kind of short time span. And when the que is 3.600 players to get back in i feel it could get annoying very quickly. Espacially if you are in the middle of a dungeon or raid. Imagine trying to do a Savage or Ultimate fight and you all get these DC's with huge que times. It could make it so that it's just not possible to clear the content. Same with if there is lag. Lag on harder fights could make it so that players makes a misstake and will die, causing a wipe. So it does need to be adressed by Square enix atleast before Endwalker where the servers is going to be even more crowded.

They already adressed the problem, lol.

It is really not that hard to understand that this problem is something that can't be solved atm. It is really mindblowing how blind and just unwilling to learn some players are.

But to make an easy example for you fellas. IF YOUR LOCAL FARMER CAN'T SELL YOU POTATOES CAUSE THEY DON'T GET THE SEEDS DELIVERED, THEY CAN'T SELL YOU POTATOES. They might have some potatoes still in stock, but they can't sell you the same amount they did until they get their forking seeds. AND THERE ARE NO SEEDS ATM. And throwing money at the provider of seeds doesn't help cause...ALL THE FARMERS WANT SEEDS AND THE PRODUCTION OF SEEDS TAKES TIME. So it will take time.
