Refunds or free playtime?

[MsQi]

IF they decided to compensate (and I have no idea if they ever do or not) I wouldn't expect anything until all of the mess is settled. That way they know just how much to compensate and to who.

Blizzard would sometimes give everyone a day or two of free time after a bad launch. Sometimes they would mention it in the forums, sometimes they would say nothing. Maybe SE will do that. I agree this would be a bad time to commit to it.

it's call good PR

You don't have to do good PR if there are lines of people trying to play your game.

it is 50 cents per day folks.

Sure, but when my only free time is on the weekends, that time is much more precious to me.

I know for a fact that is a lie. I logged in around the same time and was hit with a queue of over 3800.

Stop trolling.

I logged in with a queue of around 38. its larger now I hear, but I have been on all day.

so I doubt you know that they are lying "for a fact". my experience was the same. different worlds different experiences.

they arent the troll ^^

Oh I know that well. I played WoW for more than a decade. I never thought blanket compensation was good. So Bliz gave us a day of time now and then. What if the fubar goes a month? We would still get that one day. Better to wait until it is over and figure out a more equitable solution.

bad launch ? hmm, im not really sure about that, endwalker has the highest player count so far, and there are huge influx of player coming to ff14, so bad launch really depends where you stand to say this

as for server queue, im not in a NA server, but here in japan, day one it was the same, had login queue counting in the 5 digits, then i figured i could "move" between server (same datacenter),
i just checked which server was newest, and voila, queue reduced to 400 during launch day !

issue is "most" (most not all ofc) dont even bother try to quick fix, because while older server are heavily overcrowded, other server are just ... fine,
a quick google search show that most active NA server (gilgamesh) is at active 14.457 players in december 2021, while malboro is at 9.348, just saying ...
we are talking nearly 5K players difference ... thats not small number

This is getting pretty frustrating for sure. I was able to play early in the morning for a couple of hours. After lunch I haven't even been able to login. Queues would be acceptable if I could actually stay in queue. I keep getting disconnected by the server error 2002 and unable to make it back into the queue fast enough to keep my place in line. I have been trying to log back into the game continuously for several hours now. Maybe I'll get lucky and I can play an hour or two before bed....

Blizzard was doing it in their prime same with Mythic (DAoC) so it is common mesure even where we are popular

You're not even on the same data center as us so your opinion is irrelevant.

Thank you for trying.

If they don't fix the problem I read they can be sued for breaking there contract. Because your paying a sub which is a service charge like have on streaming networks. Makes it very hard for one like me that work 11 hour days and only get maybe 3 hours a day to play.
