What type of compensation would quite your rage?

I remember when Stormblood came out. It was way worse than this.

I'm glad we got 7 free days, it's better than nothing.

I don't remember Stormblood being this bad when it comes to trying to get into the game after work.

No rage, just want SE put more thought and consideration for EU player base.
We were running at near capacity since 2019. 10k+ queue and 2002 could be avoid if they put more effort in our DC. I came from Aegis, clearly SE are capable of providing a smoother, less problematic launch.

Raubahn Savage.

That lasted for what, a couple of days? Then people largely got past the quest and the problem went away. The community mostly worked around it with a line.

Which... hey, if SE gave me a queue that worked and didn't kick me out and send me to the back a couple times a night? I'd be pretty okay. Right now it's a two hour exercise in logging in that requires constant babysitting and sometimes ends with nothing to show for it except getting sent to the back of the queue again and having no time left to play.

Sucking up hours of my time attempting to login but never actually successfully getting through the queue? That's terrible. Fix that, and even if there's a long line for quite a while, people would have a much easier time dealing with it.

Depend on which DC I guess?
JP the Raubahn ex is definitely worse than EW launch. In EU nothing can match the disaster launch of EW

What type of compensation would quiet your rage?

Many people are having issues without making a lot of noise about it.
They do as I do watch Netflix or do other things while waiting for the queue to drop.

So honestly everyone raging, what would you like to see done?

It's not going back into the bottle.
There is no magic bullet to fix this at this point.
So what are you looking for to be ok with the current state?

Most reasonable people are satisfied with the 7 days game time we're getting added. Others, particularly some forum regulars here, will never be satisfied. You can't please them all is what it ultimately comes down to.

Because for many people "I can't play but others can" is a bigger problem than "No one can play".

This, I have seen at least one post somewhere in one of these threads of someone basically saying they'd rather have it all crash entirely so no one could play, really all around an attitude of 'if i can't play, nobody should be able to'.

Well, guess I should consider myself lucky because I have had 0 issues with being able to play save a few 2002 connection errors, which for me the queue isn't even that long because I play in the dead of night.

I'm going to say one of the most outrageous things that can be said on the internet: "I'm not actually mad about this."

I would appreciate it if male Roegadyns are granted high-priority logins.
