I don't accept your apology

[Orbus]

I was there to experience the stormblood disaster and memes, and now there's probably five times as many people playing with no new servers being added thanks to the chip shortage.
Honestly what were people expecting?
I'm guessing this is many people's first rodeo of major mmo updates.

I'm still trying to figure out what a chip shortage have to do with not being happy I have to babysit a queue timer, and getting dc in game puts you in queue.


Is this chip shortage thing what people tell themselves to feel better about this?

Servers require hardware to upgrade and expand, without the required hardware made with certain components you can't upgrade or expand your servers. I work for an Electronics Manufactauring company, we have certain parts that have a lead time of August 2023. The part shortages ARE real.

I wonder. You can pay a server company to allocate servers dedicated to your platform. Why isnt this an option for SE? It would use their resources as well.

Because SE decided to crunch the number and decided that they would loose less money from people leaving. Then from paying for the servers.

If you don't accept the apology, you as a customer have the power to play no longer and move on to the next broken game. Battlefield, GTA, mass effect 4, Or the long list of triple-A games that have come out broken over the last years.

have you heard how bad it was back in 1.0. This is a great launch.



Releasing broken games is now acceptable for some reason
Sadly games don't need to be gold if we can patch them later seem to ring true for all dev but a few small guys that really care.

This is flawed logic. Just because I don't like how they handle this. Does not mean I should give up other parts of the game that I do. This must be a western thing for sure. If you don't like this part of something quit. Is the dumbest answer I have seen in my life.


I'm just calling the developers out on this. We had these same issues before the launch of the expansion, and they did not fix them.


I am also calling the community out who keeps deflecting to a chip shortage, that has nothing to do with the errors, and wanting a buffer for when you get dc in game you can jump back in.


I think I did a good job on it. I feel better.

Well, everyone is talking like SE should have expected all of this to happen. I have been part of every FFXIV launch and I have never seen this before. If you would have told me that I would have to sit in a queue of 5K and wait over an hour to log into FFXIV a couple of years ago, I would have laughed at you. Even if they did anticipate it, it was probably too late. They probably didn't have the time to get the physical infrastructure in place. However, my only question is... we're in the age of cloud computing where you can literally rent resources and scale them to your immediate needs. Couldn't they just have hooked up with some infrastructure-as-a-service cloud vendor for at least launch? All these people will likely be gone in a week or two. They just want to experience the story and see the conclusion to this story arc. Didn't have to invest in permanent resources.

Yes i dont like "I'm a genius, why you let that all happen SE" too, must be refuges of frat boy culture coming to 14 forums. Not to mention in japan work culture is very stressfull enough, these teens have no idea how much pressure a japanese worker have in a company with the reputation SE have. Japan work hard, work in extreme "mode" everyday, some die working, not because they dont have time to rest, but they value work more than their life, like a workaholic behavior, hardcore work culture that not even America mindset can handle. Japan is more less like this: your a student and need an A to succeed in school test, if you dont make a A++++++ your not good enough. Theyr effort, passion...its insane!

some may say: "but i paid for this game, i demand changes", yes buddy, you paid for the game, not for theyr souls.

All of that changes nothing.
People can try to que up or continue to play the forums.
