Should Savage be Delayed?

To the point the normal % of players get to the point they can do it.

The only thing that "delaying" will do is upset more of their customer base. What do you think they'd do? Tell the level designers, artists, musicians, et al to start building new login servers that can handle the massive load? Therefore, I'd say the best course is to push onward. It's not as if the new content will go away after some time.

How much of a delay are we talking?

Whenever they delay it to, there's going to be a huge influx of players again.
So unless they delay it by 2-3 months there's going to be queues.

then server break again patch day since first raid tier of expansion is always the most popular one

Not much to do at this point for this problem. SE fucked up by not upgrading the servers in the past year. It's was clear there be WOW numbers of players.

No ask 5he correct team to do it. They fucked up when they did not upgrade in the past year as well. Now not much they can do but try make ae much players happy.

I'd say delay normal and savage by 2 weeks it. With Christmas and new years holidays coming up, the queues just will not hold up.

At least the "only play mainstory" crowd has a good chance to be done by new years (going by achievements, roughly 14% have finished EW at this point), and the raiding population, esp. savage, isn't all that big.

Instead of a delay what we really need is a grace period to reconnect after a non-graceful disconnect (not using logout or exit commands and confirming that you wish to logout or exit the game). Without a grace period I can already see world first raid clear attempts getting ruined if a member of a raid team gets 90k'd or has their game crash on them.

Yes we need it badly but we won't get it fast. The way the net code for ff14 works it may not even be possible. They fucked up on the hardware and programing side of it and realistically it take them a year at last to get something working. So what they can do is not fuck the players longer.
