What type of compensation would quite your rage?

[Illmaeran]

I don't need compensation. Even though I've had disconnection issues and queues to wait through, the overall experience so far has been a positive one. SE giving us seven days of extra game time is more than enough for me.

What I would like to see are real, tangible, improvements to the hardware infrastructure that prevent this from happening again. I don't blame CBU3, they don't make the financial allocations at the corporate level. Until recently, XIV's been just one of many games SE had going so allocations weren't going to be as big. Now that XIV's their current flagship game, I expect those in charge of the purse strings to allocate quite a bit more for hardware.

Anyone with true rage over a game, over not having early access ... even over setting fire to $40 or $60 or even $100 (if that's the way the 'enraged' want to look at it) should be ashamed of themselves.

Frustrated, I get. Disappointed, I get. But even if a crisp new $100 bill flew out of my wallet and into a dumpster fire ... it wouldn't enrage me. Would I be pissed? Sure, momentarily. But I'm not going to go medieval on people because of a small loss.

Most of these folks losing their ever-loving minds over a video game and a week of 'early access' are sorely lacking in the life experience department and have their priorities entirely out of whack. It makes me wonder how they react when actual bad things happen to them. I mean - get this - things actually worse than losing a bit of money, a bit of time, or being unable to play a game.

What do you enraged cave-people do when you get in a car crash, get passed over for a promotion or outright fired, get a bad health diagnosis like cancer, lose someone close to you?

Never mind, I already know, I guess. I see the news, I see the folks driving through crowds and blowing away their classmates.

This is a massive parenting failure on a disgusting scale. Like, it is truly disgusting that parents no longer instill patience, logic, and values into their children. They pop out the kid, sit them down with a tablet, and let TikTok and Instagram raise their child. Hence - the 'enraged' that have lost a few bucks or a pittance of time.

Kid gets a cookie taken away from them at two years old, and instead of the mature parent explaining to the kid that you will, indeed, sometimes lose a cookie, the kid goes to Twitter and Snapchat and finds the other three-hundred kids that have lost cookies, and all of them band together in the echo-chamber of "LOSING COOKIES SUCKS, WE WON'T STAND FOR IT, WE WANT COMPENSATION AND OUR DADS SHOULD BE FIRED."

Great job, humans, you should be really proud of your parents for raising you right. Parents, beam with pride that your kids that are losing their mind over this. Excellent job; you all have reached the pinnacle of #pettiness and #repulsivebehavior. #Yay!

Man, so many assumptions and prejudices in only 1 comment.
Being critical and giving feedback about a bad product is anyone's right. Being an extremist or exeggerating is another whole level. Sitting in a que for hours after work is frustrating and SE should know that there is work to be done in the future.

A real life carbuncle or chocobo, nothing else!

In that case a Gaelikitten please

[Jadedsins]

I'm not really upset. More annoyed that they knew this issue months before and at last started fixing it.


Nothing they can really give can fix the first impressions that kinda got ruined with the stress of dealing with queues, or me having to get up at 3 am.


All I want them to do is when a error happens in queue to auto rejoin the queue, or fix the error..but both would be fine. That is it.

None required. I had zero server issues and still don’t. I’m grateful for the 7 days but unneeded. People just need patience.

[Mialee]

But the thousands who have servers issues does! Is not cause you can play in middle of the night that peoples who experience crash doesn’t deserve compasation.

Nor is there any need for you to attack people who say they need nothing.

I'm an ARR Vet so this doesn't surprise me, I lived through ARR and SB horrible launches and it appears EW will go down in the books with those 2 expansion launch experiences, so I expected this, that's why I don't take off work for expansion launches.

Really? StB's launch was way worse than this. The login is a problem, but once you get in, it's smoother than any other launch. No crashes, no randoms dcs, no server resets to kick afks, pretty much uninterrumpted playtime. I've finished the MSQ already.

I get it, the 2002 error is frustrating at best. Yesterday I had to be in queue for 3 and a half hours because of 2002s, but I got in. I feel like some people here are spending way more time complaining on the forums.

To be fair.. what else would they do while sitting in the queue and watching it like a hawk for 2002's. Like, a lot of them are overreacting, I definitely hold to that position myself, but browsing the forums.. and complaining isn't that surprising when they can't play.

A private rp session with yoshi p and the rest of the dev team. Until then im mad about rabhan savage extreme. Oh this one with the queues? A ingame cookie maybe. Kindof already forgot about it.
