I paying to queue!

[Laughlyn]

this is complete bullshit, i have to agree with many in this post.
Is this really what im paying for???

An MMO with a subscription, and you have to pay for the game, expansions, extra (optional) content etc.
And even so during early access...it still takes hours to log in.
(Full game release wont be any better, or easier to log in during)

No normal person would sit around waiting to have a chance to play this.
And im not saying this because i've been around since beta of 1.0 etc.

The game has been in much worse state...no doubt there.
(I know this for a fact, i was there when we had no /sit comand, mailbox and trading took 5minutes to complete!)
but shouldnt these issues have been solved by now?

Im not saying i didnt expect this, becasue i did...but after sitting here waiting...
Im starting to remember why i quit playing this so many times.

Maybe it's time Square Enix started to realize facts, a Pay-2-play model just isnt the best option.
err. excuse me....hrrm.... pay-2-que.

also... since this is my 1337 post.... im considering myself very PRO at this moment.

The issue you want solved is less quality content, because let's face it, the msq got instanced because if it wasn't, you wouldn't have those epic fights. I for one wouldn't want to do the fight in Reach alongside 300 others. So it's a pay-off. We get tailored, fancy fights that fit story but they need to be instanced to give the proper presentation.

What you want is for data center/transfer technology to be ahead of what it is without contributing to it.
If one can't deal with ques, maybe just don't play a genre called MASSIVELY multiplayer?

actually, the issue i want resolved is:

scrap the monthly subscription model.
It's old & overrated.

Ah yes, because games with no subscriptiobs recieve so many updates.

ESO has so many money leeching and pay to win things, but still lacks content. XIV delivers more for the money, but not at the moment in terms of actually being able to play.

Is it really too much to ask though? To play the game you pay for on a monthly basis? Where does the money go? Now I come home from work and won't be able to log in before bedtime. Yeah, great. If all people experiencing that would just unsub as suggested, you would soon be left with less content to look forward to

As with any service you pay for, they can get overloaded. It is the very nature of these types of games. Here is the way I look at it. If I have to sit in queue until bed time, I instead do something else. The game isn't going away. If I must play during the day, I make arrangements such as remoting in from my phone to login early.

Yeah I do other stuff too, but it is still frustrating. They should have been prepared. Also better cross-server party functionality might help with spreading the players more evenly.. But that is sci-fi for SE at this point.

i like you.
sensible reasoning.

[Synrin]

There was no amount of preparation that could have been done that wouldn't have led to a waste of money.

I've posted this before, don't remember where, but if anything, they should learn from other MMOs and their mistakes. They should also look at solutions other MMOs have had over the years to adress the same issue we are experiencing. This sort of problem is nothing new, but it sure won't go away if you just apologise and temporarily fix it. It will come back to bite harder. It is really sad when those who have been looking forward to Stormblood so much have now been left with a sour taste.

Thank you. I don't want to be the flaming nor the white knight kind on these forums given the circumstances. SE should do their job being the content provider and we should do our job and play and form a lovely community. That's all.
