Disappointed

[rblyell]

I took time off work. Kind of disappointed, I expected to be having fun with my friends and FC Mates. Instead we're all bored af.
If I knew this could of been an issue I would have waited.
This did not happen in HW so it was not expected when I chose to take this time off to enjoy a game I love.
I'm not mad at SE or Yoshi P. It's just so disappointing.

Shit like this will always happens, no matter what. There is also a reason why it's early access too, they need to check before the real launch that everything is going to be good too. Early access usually means games can be out but not everything will work seamless the first few hours or days whatever.

It's same song second verse. One thing is good, it's not crashing, but still, it's is very disappointing, to where you hear all the bottlenecker's talking,as they run into this brick wall, about other mmo's and not this one. Hmm wonder if there are any reviews up for this early access launch and what a disaster/disappointment it was? Anyway, guess maybe when Monday comes and people have to work instead of log in it might help. I know several who took off work with no clue this would be the one glitch to stop them from enjoying Early Access. Heaven help us when new housing goes live and plots are up for purchase.

This does not happen like this. Glitches, zone crashes, quest bugs, sure, but this being pinned up and ground to a complete halt because it was launched on one of the busiest gaming day of the week. I have played other mmorpg's with the things I have mentioned and it's to be expected. One thing they do, is call for paying players to come beta test any soon to be released content, first. This was so obvious and predictable before it was released. I can think of several ways more the could have lessen the problem other than transferring. Early Access shouldn't be a means to beta test DLC. It should be what it implies.

I've spent a collective 8 hours poking an NPC hoping to get past one of two known instances holding up MSQ. Ya I'm disappointed. This is a joke and a slap in the face of paying customers. Especially those who played 1.0. They're just repeating the lack respect and any give a care they have to us as a community of gamers.

Cant believe people is confusing EARLY ACCESS with BETA TESTING...

There are a number of sites actually already reviewing the content and disappointed with how disastrous it is for this gated story behind Raubahn Savage mode. Lots of sites are putting Squeenix and Stormblood, after the amount of hype and pre-order for early access on blast right now.

This happens because people like you let it happen.
