Maintenance Timing

[CassieCoffee]

Sounds like a plan.

Out of context, now I know you are useless.

Smile if you say so. I won't get into name calling although I would have a choice few for you.

1 hour 50 minutes to go. For me the worst thing about this maintenance is I've actually been silly enough to come read stuff on here.

Why on earth in the maintenance time so stupid, like it's a weekend and your deciding to do 4 hour maintenance from 12:30 until 16:30, who thought that was a good idea. We need to have a free day sub for this because that pretty much the whole day for some of us who are not able to play that much.

It's an emergency maintenance. It is not like they woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to spite their player base. I am finally touching grass after EA and all the lvling craze I got into.

Updates on PC don't get slowed down because of Windows. Every update that goes onto Xbox (and PS) has to be vetted by MS (or Sony) and that process is a known slog. Windows doesn't have that impact. Nice try.

So it's not MS. It's just their xbox team then.

Regardless, this still doesn't change the fact the playerbase wanted xbox as a platform which is why SE did it in the first place. When it was first brought up years ago Yoshi P wasn't fond of the idea because of how much fussier the xbox crew are about things. I've played this game since 2.0's launch back in 2013 and I don't recall Sony ever really holding the game itself back by vetting.

So again, how is this SE's fault when they gave players what they wanted?

"Gave players what they wanted" is a strong statement. The vast majority of the players base isn't on Xbox so don't care if it ever went to Xbox so to suggest "the players" as a whole or even majority wanted it on Xbox is simply not correct.

Also, yes, it's simply things that get onto Xbox or PS that get that kind of vetting. Given PS IS Sony any updates make it through to PS without a hitch, Xbox presents a different set of issues as we are seeing.

Waiting on the refund thread for this by the way.

If it's not correct in any semblance then why did Yoshi P, who was opposed to the idea, cave in and do it? It may not have been a majority, but it certainly wasn't some small minority. It was clearly a sizeable number of people to get him to do it. So, unfortunately, you are the incorrect one on that statement.

Money. That's why. if 400K players are on FF14 at any given time and 4K are on Xbox that's still $720k/year while only being 1% of the base. Simply math.
