Best Served with Cold Steel still not working

[Artimecion]

There are still plenty of great things to experience with Stormblood. Try out a new Job that you haven't before or Red Mage and Samurai. Start leveling craters and gatherers. FATE grind etc. Heck , even the old Anmia weapons quests go another nerf that I don't think was listed on the patch notes, so if you were close right before today, it wouldn't be a bad investment in time because you'll probably get to skip a step or two when Eureka comes out. Just be patient. From what I've seen, Stormblood has tons of great stuff ahead!

DCed while being in said line and had around 20 people before left. Its been only like 3 hours in it. Square Enix is becoming like Ubisoft at making games.

Really?

It's facking day 1 EARLY ACCESS, they are working on it so when the expansion actually releases, this stuff won't be a problem anymore, but instead of constructive feedback a ton of ppl like you prefer to bitch instead of do anything else while the quest is being fixed... go back to wow please, the whiners live there.

Failure at delivering proper content we paid (and will be paying for) shouldnt be acceptable. Also we suppose to wait for people to stop putting servers at heavy load and then try. Everyone bottleneck and same thing. This wont go away easily. Not to mention early access is not Beta release.

See, I wouldn't be so mad I'd SE bothered to just say "We're working on figuring out what the problem is, till then please patient". But we haven't got anything other than "It's working as intended". The hell it is working as intended! Thousands of people barred from doing MSQ junk because of a single quest. Just an update would be nice. Please.

Been playing this game month after release and its not the first time they failed. Heavensward didnt had that problem. Only problem was server overloaded and location back in Canada. Also, I pay for said product my hard earn money and can be not satisfied with product if its not working properly. This isnt free to play or onetime payment. On 20th even more people will be joining. You can save them by all means, but there are people who arent satisfied with simple problem blocking whole playthru.

Now to the whinners, stfu please...

FFXIV Producer and Director Yoshida here.

I would like to explain the current congestion issue regarding instanced battle content, including the Stormblood main scenario quest “Best Served with Cold Steel,” due to the Duty Finder crashes at the start of early access.

As announced earlier, there are a huge number of players currently playing Stormblood, and as a result, the servers continue to experience a large amount of stress. For this reason, we are currently limiting the number of players that can enter instanced content so that it does not lead to major server crashes.

However, this has caused massive congestion to enter instanced content and I would like to sincerely apologize for this.

If you are unable to enter instanced battle content, we ask you to please wait and try again at a later time. We understand that this unfairly places the burden on our players, but we require more time until the issue can be resolved. We continue to work on measures to address this issue and will follow up once we have an update.

Again, we sincerely apologize for this level of congestion occurring during early access when many of our players are the most excited to play.

Everyone on the team will continue to put in our full effort to ensure an enjoyable gaming experience, and I would like to thank you for your continued support.

Another "We know it, we figured it out, but we have to let it play along by itself". It is their second expansion. They did not took any points or notes from Heavensward early access and prepared more and better for Stormblood.



Also, mate. Tone youre trying to pull, dont work. People will have different opinions. You like it or not.

Well at least a free Fantasia for all for this problem. It's been 12 hours and the "incident" still continues. We pay for a good service. Don't disapoint us SE

[Sithgear75]

Pretty weak to limit instances, especially knowing there is a MSQ instance this early in the expansion. SE had a good idea of how many people were going to be on for Early Access. Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

Plus the fact that You give a response like that to pretty much say "let the community fix itself"
