Quest: It's Probably Pirates

[Bigmommabird]

Problem continues, and no word from the GMs on when it will be fixed. The continued lack of response is almost as annoying as the bug itself. I've never had that issue in any other game. In other games, when there's a progress-breaking bug, they answer you right away and either complete the step for you or put in a quick and dirty fix (like having everybody go directly to the next step) until the problem can be remedied. At the least they apologize for the problem and tell you when to expect a fix.

(I have a character on Balmung, where the bug occurs.)

Same issue on my alt on Balmung server. Going by the huge mob that was frantically shifting positions and hanging around the npc, many more are in the same boat. I'm rather hoping this is fixed asap and not held off until the maintenance. It really does make it difficult to level onward. Especially frustrating since you cannot access the dungeon at all without it. Yes, I could go do more raids on higher level characters etc but its not what I /want/ to do and I imagine most others are in similar positions.

While I understand that the finer details of fixing this are far beyond my own knowledge, Square does have a tendency to leave players in the proverbial dark about this sort of thing that I find very...irritating.

Balmung here too... I had a day off today and wanted to get far in the story but my grind went on a full stop since I couldn't access dungeons and was stuck on the verge of level 20. Just got the game too; quite disappointed by the lack of customer service on a gamebreaking bug.

same problem, same server.

Same issue here, really surprised there is no form of in game support to allow a temporary work around for this fix. SQUARE-ENIX can't afford in game support? What happens if a raid boss bugs and doesn't drop gear, or an instance breaks half way through? No one can address the issue? New player here, still in trial sub. These types of issues happen, I get that been in MMO's for years, but to have no way to get a timely (1-3 hour) response to an issue is really shocking. Does not inspire me to want to Sub after trial period.

I agree, Tiernos. It's been more than 24 hours and still no response to tickets or this thread. Having the problem is not shameful - stuff happens - but the lack of response is.

How can this be! I've waited all day and I cannot advance. There's no way to call a GM either. holy smokes! We're just trying to play the game here.

Same issue on the same server (Balmung).

Its actually been almost 48 hours since this issue started happening. I've seen private servers for other games with like 2 GM's have a higher response time than this. Kind of sad.

When I was there with friends, it looked like the NPC was frozen in place. It will hopefully be fixed on the reset tonight.
