I'm Done.

[Angellos]

First: The queues.

Then: The disconnects. (9006 Errors, then lobby server errors.)

Afterward: No renaming service. No world transfer service. Friends can't buy the game.

Next: No audio after logging in but every other game and application is just fine after waiting in a 1k queue. Close the client for twenty seconds: Now it's a 2k queue or I had to play with no sound whatsoever being visually impaired.

You know, I was trying to be patient. I was trying really hard to be understanding about the semiconductor shortages, that no one could prepare for the influx of players:

But the cold hard truth is while that may be factual: There could be an emergency patch put into place to fix some things. Square Enix could have called NTT to have them fix the 9006 errors due to their faulty hop. There are a lot of things that could have, and should have been done right away. Bad sound driver? Why wasn't that fix brought in an emergency patch? It should have been. I know they'd have to pay money for an unexpected patch given that the game is cross-platform: But considering there's been a 160% increase in sales this expansion - I think the funds are there.

For four days now I haven't been able to play other than insanely early morning (2-3am CST) Due to the NTT Disconnects, and now after not having had an audio issue whatsoever, I suddenly have NO SOUND other than system sounds and background music. (Yes, my sounds are turned on.)

I've been playing since 2015 but I'm literally not going to pay to be denied basic services for characters, to have to sit in a 2k queue all over again because I had to close my client due to FAULTY SOUND DRIVERS (And not MY drivers but the game's drivers.)

Maybe I'll resub when things have actually been fixed. This is too much, even for me. I can only imagine what it's like for people who work and aren't sitting at home disabled.

Keep your complaining to one thread, please and thanks.

I suppose it is best if you unsub and come back to a later day when things are more calm. I can't relate to people's issues because I don't work anymore, I just go Uni and we've broken up for Christmas so I have no problem getting up early to play during weekdays.. Hope you have a nice break & hope it won't be too long until everything's back to normal!

It's not as damning as the 2002 error but they've known about that audio error since forever and they just didn't want to fix it because it'd be too much work. Like 2002 has had been reported for years but they did nothing about it until it severely impairs players' ability to play.

I feel really bad for players who have been affected by that audio bug during the congestion, it's really questionable from the dev to just let the bug exist and continuously add new things to the game without even looking at it. I'm not a developer but I assume that it's more difficult to address a bug when there's a lot of content than when there's less, and if that's the case, "it's fine" until it's not, like for 2002,and they'll end up with more workload than they could've had if they squashed it as soon as they possibly could have.

Would you rather them keep the name change, transfers and game sells going and make the server problem worse? There is a reason they stopped these things, the servers cannot handle it at the moment with the massive amount of traffic they are getting. The growth of the game is more then expected and the chip shortage they can't get the planned servers they wanted.

They had to do something and this was it. When the traffic gets back to normal those things will come back.

Maybe I'll resub when things have actually been fixed.

You should do that, I mean really, a game is suppose to be fun and if your not having fun then don't play the game and just come back when its fun again for you.

First: The queues.

On one hand, you are complaining about the queues and on the other hand, you are complaining that your friends can't purchase the game. There's no winning with you dude.

you dont have to log out to fix your sound.

go into your sound settings, change your audio from whatever your default device is to something else. change your system as well. change back. typically fixes it without logging and having to go through teh queue.
