Compensation question

[AngelCheese77]

Can start class action lawsuit against SE. I read lawsuits has happened to other companies for same reasons as here. Not being able to play when your paying a sub. Its like your paying for netflix and getting put on a long queue to watch a show. They better fix problem soon.

Why ... WHY.

I don't understand people's reactions to kneejerk and auto scream LAWYER!!!!

There are so many things happening that we don't know about, though Yoshi-P is being more transparent than any other company I know of with issues happening.

Maybe it's because I'm older and have seen stuff break after so many years. I'm just like .. whelp that sucks. It's a game. Even in the EULA it says that there may be times where players can't reach the servers to play (ad lib here). I'm annoyed too. I can maybe get 2-3 hours in a day then nothing until the next day.

TIL "May be times" means "all the time since launch".

If you are looking at it calmly. SE didn't implement any plans for growth on NA/EU servers. They provide the most hardware to JP servers who on average have lower world population. A new OCE centre will most likely benefit JP worlds since unofficial OCE is JP. They were taking a wait and see how players suffer approach to expanding NA/EU hardware, or you could say profit increase. This all happens before we even get to Blizzard/COVID situation. Also the gamers on here are very strange and have an undescribable feeling toward devs. Any other game that I have seen released on steam or elsewhere with this kind of service would just get savaged. It doesn't matter how much is within devs control, if game doesn't play you get a ratings down.

Wonder if they have a planned limit for max compensation already in mind. I don't see this getting fixed for a month or so tbh.

Until they get new physical servers there is no fix without the population dropping similar to what happened to PSO2 NGS. Server overload effed that game for weeks then the population dropped significantly. So a month? Sure if people stop playing because they didn't renew their sub, but if they try to keep playing the lottery game of who gets in during peak hours this isn't going to be remedied for months. If you suggest cloud servers they already said no. It's not feasible for the game after experimentation. Also it's more expensive.

Well my situation on sargatanas is only 1-4k in que every day, always losing some hours of game time. But after that late in night the que is pretty much back normal. But It's still a-lot of lost hours and It's not even as bad as other people are experiencing. Some people have que's and errors so much that they simply can't play.

[BelmontLion]

No - before they posted that the correct answer was "I don't know".

ty for that.

I wonder if they realize giving sub time to inactive accounts might actually flood the gates more?

to clarify, I'm not angry or anything with the queue times, but my tamanegi heart goes out to all afflicted. It's helped me to just sit next to the pc with a guitar and look over at the screen every few mintues while I play. Some people may not be able to do that what with kids and such, but just what works for me to get through it.

I feel like if the inactive people wanted to play endwalker, they'd definitely already be in those que's ever since early access

They may not be like "I want to play EW", but may be like, I'll try to hop in and rekindle my interest. But regardless, I'm glad "something" is getting done.

I was content before the free time had been offered, but I can understand some of the angst of people not able to play. Some of my fc just not even bothering to log in at all because of the queue times, but we all stay in touch on discord. It is what it is tho. Hoping for awesomeness.
