It's apparent SE doesn't care that non-JP servers are encountering 2002 issues

[Rinhi]

Or.. yknow. They didn't find it themselves so they weren't really lying just ignorant of the problem and thanked the people who did find it followed up by a plan of action to fix it with the next patch. But continue your rants about things that didn't happen and continue to stew about mistakes that have been acknowledged and are being worked on.

people have talked and warned about the issue since 2.0, throughout stormblood, yet obviously nothing happened till now
if they weren't aware of the issue then it clearly means they do not value any english speaking communities unless they make enough noise, which isn't a good thing, not to mention that their first response to the 2002 error was that it's most likely an issue on the users end instead of theirs, which makes me think that they didn't really look into the problem in the first place until it became too big, or, if they were, still shifted the blame onto the user instead of being transparent about it, which is what they should've done in the first place
I apologize if you think a joke at the expense of people who go to some lengths to defend a corporation with excuses that have nothing to do with the issue at hand as 'ranting'

in addition to that, you can see at the bottom of my quoted post that I'm glad they're working on fixing this issue now, so what do you want me to say? I'm happy that they acknowledged it was on their and not the user's end, as they should've done (and known tbh) in the first place

at this point im pretty damn sure yoshi-p has a roulette where the only 2 options are "covid happened" and "legacy code" that he uses when they need to answer for something that should have been fixed 5 years ago

So u still not happy they going to fix the issue and they stop game sales and you getting 14 days free game time what company does that.

What ignorance.

You imply that such a thing is easy to discover. It's 1.0 code, something that was there before he took over. Blaming him for something no one else could have predicted, as it was hidden away so far back and never discovered, was the cause for issues down the line is extremely pathetic and childish.

But you're perfect. Obviously. You never have issues or discover that something was causing issues currently despite being hidden away years ago Oh no, you solve issues before they even think of becoming issues. What a perfect little snowflake you are, Karen O'Maryith of Sues. /s

your entire post history looks like a troll account at this point.

Semiconductor shortage is just BS, its a lame excuse.
As my previous post: For EU and NA the servers are leased, for EU I know for a fact there in Frankfurt Germany, and is the very same server company that provide servers for 100's if not 1000's of publishers in the EU, WoW, Tera, Rift..practically all the EU servers for games published in the EU are from the same company, which now makes you think, if more people are playing FFXIV and not other games the overall load on servers is still the same as before Endwalker, for every player not playing X game is now playing Y instead = still same load on servers.

Currently for EU this is not a high load time of year, the severs are no were near "full" and they ALWAYS have a safe, standard load limit with options to "boost" for high load times, server capacity is down to how much server capacity Square have leased, they could increase but obviously at an extra cost, clearly they dont want to do that, its their choice and the game currently is suffering for it, next week it will get worse for sure xmas week more people of work, school etc, but this is all squares fault.

You clearly are very uniformed and pulling BS out your arse for the sake of spite. You are also spewing crap that others some of which who have paid no attention to the media posts have said. The server issues are frustrating but throwing out BS just so you can spit in SE's face is ignorance.

I work for Voss IT in Hamburg we lease servers and host many different things, although its mainly for online media, I know how the "current" situation is and have associates who do host game servers , we have no issues, there is a shortage for building new hardware but its only hard to obtain due to its recent cost inflation, the equipment is there, not hard to get if your willing to pay vastly overpriced costs

Which leads to a point I made in another post, Square do have the option to increase server capacities or even lease new servers from different company's but they will be paying a premium for it and obviously they do not want to spend, game issues are all down to money NOT hardware resources

In short you don't handle SE servers and like so many others don't have any idea what they are looking for. If you paid any kind of attention to what they have said they are willing to pay higher prices!! Next who said they were leasing their servers?? Their out trying to purchase more server hardware to build more servers, if they were leasing the servers. Would it not be the job the company who owns the servers to do that!! What your saying is like renting a car it blowing a head gasket and the rental company saying you have to pay for the repairs.

Ah you are one of those people that bc you work for a company you know how it works for all companies.

Maybe if you did better research you wouldnt have posted this ramble..... So SE doesnt lease their server just like it was pointed out there plenty of MMO companys that dont lease them but owns them. While some do and some uses cloud base servers, there plenty that dont do what you are rambling on about. The Devs has already said they are trying to get more servers adn willing to pay premium but hey people cant do research and read apparently and want to assume they are just sitting there

I don't know if I will go that far, but it might be that it is easier for them to fix it on JP side, or that they just not skilled enough to handle it on our side. Who knows. I do know is that the state of the game is unacceptable, no matter if a chip shortage happen. Maybe they should have hold out on releasing until they got more servers, and also code in a grace time for being DC.

The people who keep defending this company right now got yoke on the face for it. So that is a plus.

I do not mind waiting in a queue, as long as the queue is reliable and consistent. Square Enix has not been able to give us either. It has Nothing to do with hardware. It is the way they coded their queue, and they have shown they are unwilling to change it. Same queue were seen back in 2.0.

I have been in 5000+ queues for SWTOR, WoW, and New World and never been dropped from a spot in line and sent to the back. If all these other games can do a stable queue, why not Square?
