Please call it "Daily Maintenance"!

.....what?

Oh sorry I didnt see that! Me jumping to conclusions again!

Wow really a day later and another "emergency maintenance" this is ridiculous. How can they really make us pay if we get so much of these things every time they do an emergency maintenance they should refund us 5% of the money we paid to play. We will see how many times we have emergency maintenance then.

Hmm, 5% for 4 hours? Too much
Make we some math
100% = 30 day
30 day = 720 hours
4 hours = 0,55%
0,55% from $10 = 5 cent

I looked this up and there is no connection with SE whatsoever, There is however a Final Fantasy zero, which the name was originally Final Fantasy Agito XIII. If Final Fantasy XIV was still turning into a failure they would 1 take the servers offline and take another year or two to make it better. Or they would discontinue it altogether. Square Enix is a HUGE Corporation that doesn't just give their titles away.

As someone else had pointed out, it was developed by SE and if you read the actual article it says it there too. SE *does* palm off failed games to other devs and have before.

Hmm I played Rift at release, If I remember correctly even the beta. But I can't remember anything leaving me with so many bad impressions as SE does. CCP is Eve isn't it? I played two chars parallel and that also didn't leave so many bad impressions as SE does. Not sure why. Maybe it's just cause I'm deeper in to FFXIV then I was into any of those two games...


That was more directed towards the people sprouting that line around then towards SE. But indirectly SE actually does that too. Everytime they tell you it comes with 2.0. They just take a bit more care of theyr PR.






It's not really about just one 4 hour maintanance. It's more about that in my opinion the emergency patches get to much. I would rather prefer to have something like a weekly standard maintanance window where you actualy can plan around it then to have unpreditable breaks all the time.
From other MMORPGs I'm used to less emergency patches. Little problems get fixed in standard patch windows and only big ones actually get an emergency window. If if those all actually are problems worth an emergency patch then we are back to something needs to change.

I get you, maybe the taste of the horrendous launch still lingers for you, I know it does for me still, that's why I think 2.0, even if it doesn't deliver in everything it promised, will be a breath of fresh air.

But yeah, that's the nature of MMOs, something unforeseen will happen and break when you crowd-source your QA to the players. Typically that's what test servers are for, but even then test servers never ever get the traffic and APM that the live servers do.

It's just happening more frequently for FFXIV due to the engine and duct-tape patches.

Maybe I'm just used to this process, therefor am never surprised. I'm sure the entire FFXIV team, from QA to devs to management to Yoshi-P are all sick of this cycle, which is probably why they're just as excited for 2.0 as the rest of us.

Well it depends what plan you chose the 30 day or the 90 day.
and 5 cents per person adds to a hell of a lot. How about you do the math for lets say 5 cents X 1-2 Million people?

I know sorry I was skim reading. Imma blame my ADHD on that one. I thought it said final fantasy zero not fantasy earth zero lol. Fail on my part.
