Wow that's not cool for EU fans and eh i'm thinking the fact it's been push so far back for them is the NA bug? but now i'm really worried. Dose this mean the NA bug will not be fix till the 19th or at all?

Apparently the PS3 to PS4 thingis fixed now in the NA PSN. Sorry EU friends, it seems something else is the cause.

I don't think any of us need to explain why this is a mess. Not good enough Squenix. Try again...

Greetings,

Now that digital pre-orders of the PS3 and PS4 versions of Heavensward are available on the North American PlayStation Store we’d like to give you an update on the situation for pre-orders in Europe.

Happy to confirm??? Did you copy paste that or you din't even think of how bad this is and that there's nothing to be happy about??? EU doesn't get the option to pre order when you guys have been telling us for ages that we would be able to. On top of that you will wait till last moment so we are open to buggs like the ps3 to ps4 upgrade one and you would make us miss early access days.

Wow calm down, its not like you are missing game time on the expansion, you still got 16 days to do all that.

Wow I was thinking like, next week Wednesday. Talk about this being a royal cock up, I mean this should have all be sorted BEFORE preorder bonuses were announced. Talk about terrible management.

It's not that, it's that one EA day everyone will have the game pre-loaded and set while the EU PS Store and Download servers will get slaughtered and leave many of the EU player base left out.

This is why pre load was set up, to counteract those issues.

It's pretty infuriating that EU always get's the short end of the stick especially with a big launch like this.

We’ll follow up with further details at a later late

... I feel like this typo is prophesying something. Or maybe its the reps subconscious talking. Eh.

I just wanted some peace of mind, and this does the oposite of that. We might be able to get to early access (MIGHT, I'm really not confident after seeing all this), but we sure won't be able to pre-order anything. Getting something the moment it's available it's not preordering. We have to buy and download the game the very first day of early access? That's... wow.

You are assuming that nothing is going to go wrong at launch though like PSN crashing and that its not going to be as difficult to log on as it was when FFXIV:ARR launched once most people have downloaded it, and I'll bet a fair number of people wont log out once they are in just to avoid possibly having to queue to get back in if the ARR launch is anything to go by.
But those are just possibilities the real kicker here is the fact that JP and NA can pre-order right now and we have no reason as to why EU can't only that it will be up just in time for you to pre-order and to please look forward to it!
People are going to be more mad about not knowing why they have to wait than the wait itself.

That's just as bad as SE "thinking" Pounds = Euros = Dollars for the collectors price in UK. The Eu team manages to pulls something ridiculous again.
