1.0 CE letdown

[ZakarnRosewood]

You also got early access to the game. CE release was 10 days before the Official start. That is why many purchased it. Also, I'm not understanding your point, they basically said you will be getting something else in ARR for purchasing a CE of 1.0...which in all honesty they didn't need to do.

PS: they already said ALL special code items tied to our accounts carry over into ARR (such as Onion Helms)

lol, the early access was not really useful. Not sure if you got the early access or not but I couldnt play it for almost two weeks after the official release due to how buggy and broken everything was. Some people may have gotten in but even if they did they were fighting the toughest enemy in 1.0, the lag monster.

If you read my last post I hope that will answer your question "what's your point". Just to add on to it, the only thing that anyone really got any use out of from their CE's was the authenticator. I really didnt expect much, just wanted them to acknowledge that the majority of what people payed for in the 1.0 CE was a huge let down and hoped that they would at least allow us to upgrade from the 1.0 CE to the ARR CE. I would be fine with paying a little extra.

You got a week early entrance, the Certificate is really cool.. (I have it framed in my room)

However...I got duped out of my in game items. They went to my since cancelled beta account (because I didn't know you were supposed to reactivate it).

I'm hoping they give me a second chance there..

At least the guys over in Europe got a kewl and useful travel mug.

Yep I find putting myself in hospital due to drinking out of a toxic coated "mug" really cool and useful!! That thing was bloody poisonous lol...

Anyway I don't get this self entitlement crap people seem to feel just lately. You got what you paid for back then, if SE decide to give us guys the ARR CE In-game items I'd say we should be greatful tbh.

Expecting more than even that just cuz you bought the game way back when just shows your personal greed and self-entitlement issues tbh. And to be blunt, its not a pleasant trait to show the world!

what's about the regular edition? lol

"hey shaddup Shougun, its not the CE"

>.>; ;

The regular and CE had their own special item codes (Goggles, Onion Helm) will this happen again?


If not does it mean regular will have to buy the whole 2.0 CE or will their be a digital upgrade option?

Always wash those type of thermos cups before using it the first time. (^_^ ) But, i know what you mean... When you drink directly from the cup, you will get a metal after taste. So, i would pour my coffee in a regular mug first. Makes quite a difference.

I've read a lot of posts where people "demanded" some kind of compensation (like a new CE from ARR) because they've bought a CE version of the game for 80 bucks, decided that the game a bunch of crap but still decided to "stick around".

(The following is not directed to anyone specific, but to the general customer)

The thing is, a Collectors Edition of a game is a package of a game which contains more then just a game. The package contains items which a collector would like to collect. In the European version of the Collectors edition, you got the game, a Security Token, a Thermos Cup, a Cloth Map an in-game item (the Onion Helm) and an Artwork book.

The game itself is exactly the same for those who purchased the Standard version of the game. It doesn't really matter if you think the game was broken or not, you will have exactly the same game as everyone else. Just because you've purchased a Collectors Edition, doesn't mean that you can demand something extra when ARR is released because you've already got the items that made the package a Collectors Edition.

For me, the security token was the reason i bought the Collectors Edition, not the other items. Those are just novelties that came with the package.

(Again, the above was not directed to anyone specific)

At least, the way i read the OP was that Rosewood was disappointed that (s)he got a certificate while we europeans got a thermos cup instead. Well, i can imagine that. I personally would also have preferred a Thermos Cup instead of a Certificate. But, i can tell you that i've seen worse CE packages, like just a handful of postcards for a CE version that would cost 15 bucks more then the regular version. (^_^ )

That being said, Yoshi-p mentioned the following in the Live Letter broadcasted today (like ZakarnRosewood mentioned earlier):

Q21: Would you be able to provide us with more information on the ARR Collector's Edition?

A21: The Collector's Edition may come with some in-game items... Don't worry, we do have plans to do something for the 1.0 players that have purchased the original Collector's Edition!

I think it's fantastic that Yoshi-p would even consider doing something like this, but please... Don't expect too much. It will probably be something like a special minion or other type of in game item. (^_^ )

I wonder if they knew and will give awards to those who have onion helm or how else would they tell that they are going to give 1.0 CEs something more o.o/

To be quite honest the travel mug was not cool nor useful, I used it once and once only because even with lid securely on it will leak everywhere.

I loved my FFXI map, used it constantly and still have it. I was so hyped to hear we would get a cloth map for XIV but unfortunately it was very small and the print was blurry. I would love to see a nice good quality map in the FFX|V 2.0 CE

Hopefully vanity slots will allow us to wear our CE lvl 1 gears more flexibly ^_^

Are you asking how SE knows who had an original CE version? It's part of our version code that happens when we log in. (those numbers you use to see in the top left hand corner). Also, it's registered to our SE account. (The registration numbers for standard accounts would be different). So no, you don't need to have your Onion Helm for them to know.
