How Are People Going To Have Statics

I kinda hope it gets delayed tbh.
SE is inviting another big shitstorm of complaints if they release Savage when the servers are like this..

If they delay savage though the game dies as there is no end game content.
They would also have to delay normal as every one would be over geared and savage would be a joke.

Normal mode gear is the same ilvl as crafted gear, which Savage is tuned towards. They'd have to delay the tome gear or increase the outgoing damage to compensate but normal mode wouldn't impact Savage from a difficulty perspective in the slightest. It would, however, destroy much of the crafting endgame. No real reason to buy gear when you can farm normal for weeks.

If they do ultimately delay Savage, they could freeze the normal mode lockout at week two. That way no one could get additional gear they wouldn't otherwise have in ideal circumstances.

I don't think they delay it. Japan data center is fine isn't it? If they delay content because of EU/NA data center problems, I imagine the Japanese player base would complain. Lose/Lose situation for SE.

While I doubt they delay Savage either. It should be noted NA alone now has nearly double JP's population. With EU, the two regions make up more than two thirds of XIV's entire playerbase. From a pure financial perspective, SE has significantly more to lose not taking into consideration how badly NA and EU are impacted by queue times right now.

Wut? You realize a very small percentage of players do that content right? Most people never step foot in a raid.

The part to take away from that would be there is no end game content. If they delay savage that would mean that the patch would be delayed. Thus everything included in that patch would be delayed. This would include less crafting gear, less crafting progress, and less housing furniture. Two other draws to the game outside of savage.

Just because you don't personally raid, doesn't mean that other people don't.

Clear rates of the first fight of a savage fight in a tier often approach like 25% of the games endgame population PRE ECHO, with that number increasing significantly again after echo is implemented. Some JP servers have achieved full-tier savage clear rates as high as 40% during some tiers.

Even TEA has like an 11% clear rate on some datacenters.

The 'content for 1% of the population' meme needs to die.
