this is out of control

[ACETHENEST2017]

Now me as well as a lot of us love this game and I was so exited to level up a red mage and head out into the world of storm blood I can not tell you how many times I watched the trailers. But this is not acceptable and paying consumers who were GUARANTEED EARLY ACCESS to stormblood this is not a good light for you SE a lot of us are upset at the response from Yoshida of "just wait and try again" um excuse me the money I spend on this game is your salary not the other way around fix this issue give you player the information and respect they deserve I mean for god sakes do an emergency maintenance and kick us all off ill feel better if you show me your working to fix it. sorry guys not pleased with this launch I know most launches have there issues but this one should have been expected and prepared for.

Lol why did i bother? XD

[agroyboy]

agreed. it's simple. but they don't nothing to fix it. now the zone getting crowded. and will end up crashing the server. yes all mom's have problems at release. but they fix it asap. not do nothing.

[agroyboy]

no edit. but they don't do anything to fix it. buddy 1 eu server having problems. rest of it is na. phone keeps changing words.

I don't even have stormblood yet and I can't log in. So I decided to create a brand new character on one of the underpopulated servers. I still got kicked. Somehow they've screwed this up for every person playing the game so the "beta test" excuse DEFINITELY holds no water.

[agroyboy]

so I just logged in. got in it. and it crashed. now I'm 1,177 in line after just waiting 15 mins before to get in.

Got home from work and logged in. More tha. 2.5k people ahead of me. This took more than an hour to get past.

Just completed my first whole dungeon without being kicked. Repaired, queued for the next one and was kicked. Now there are 4,271 people ahead of me. Why are they ahead? I didn't log out, I wansn't idle. Its crazy how hard they're making it to play the game we paid for.

I'm furious, 2.x & 3.x opening days were nowhere near this bad. Square tell you what - next time instead of bloating the budget on the advertisement campaign, make sure the servers are operational under high stress. Because frankly this was near 1.0 levels of 2 steps disconnect, start a guildleve then disconnect. "Other MMOs openings has had it like this as well" doesn't cut it whatsoever.

"Other MMOs openings has had it like this as well" doesn't cut it whatsoever.

I've heard this excuse all day from the player base, but then try to either:
A) Instantly start drama in the shout chat over frivolous material or just being a troll.
B) Try to get people to disconnect, log out, or leave for their own benefit.
C) Get people to add onto the problem, resulting in our current server state.

In 17 years of playing MMO's I can say without a doubt that todays level of incompetency is outstanding and staggering. First more than 15 hours to alleviate one problem only to run into the EXACT same problem less than an hour later. Honestly, fix your issues SE.
