I had to unsub because I have a job

Why do people keep bringing the car industry example? Have you paid for a car in advance and had the car not delivered to you because "conductor shortage"? Did you really go "oh well *shrugs* covid and stuff i guess" and carried on without the car you paid for without raising a single complaint?

I don't believe you.

Because the chip shortage in the automotive industry is well documented? Nobody is saying "Well I wouldnt expect to get a car I paid for right now either!" they're saying "News reports from multiple companies, sometimes in different industries, confirm what Square are saying about it being difficult to get new servers."

By all means be angry at Square if you want, but if you want to deny the existence of a well documented semiconductor shortage then you're doing yourself a massive disservice by denying reality.

Then stop bringing it as a comparison

They didnt...you are literally talking to the wrong person.

This is not a comparison and you have been willfully dense about it.

The point was that the auto industry, which is usually considered more important and more profitable in a global standard, is one of many industries visibly suffering from the semi conductor shortage. The point brought up was that industries far and wide are clamoring for the same item and not getting them, so expecting SE to magically get some just to fix their terrible server situation is bound to disappoint you.

I’m mad that SE did what every company does and sat in the margins after ShB, I think it was lazy and put the dev team in a bad situation now. And I’m frustrated that a lot of the communication has been, quite frankly, vague for how they usually communicate; but I think they’re in panic mode. I just don’t think they can fix this at this point.

It might seem unacceptable (and it usually would be), but sometimes harsh reality is harsh reality and no amount of anger will solve it.


… And while I personally didn’t pre-order a car, I unfortunately know quite a few… let’s call them “suckers” to be nice, that actually did. One person still hasn’t gotten their Rav-4 yet and they ordered in June lmao.

The people creating these posts really need to grow up. How can you feel that there is some big conspiracy from SE to hurt you? Especially using the "they don't care because they want to save money" argument. If you really believe that, then unsub. Don't give them anymore money. Stop coming to the forum and spouting your nonsense about them lying of the semiconductor shortage. If you really have to start using insults and lies yourself to defend your outrage, it is clear that this situation is too stressful for you and you need to take a break from it.

im getting tired of reading these posts, Square Enix is doing all they can with whats currently going on in the world. if you dont like it nobody is forcing you to play the game, could always i dont know play other games until this calms down in a month. ive managed to get reaper to 90 and fully geared with primal drops and everything so its not impossible

They did . That was the point of the op.

Ok so, if you work (like most people) and/or have limited gaming time and can only log in at peak hours (when everyone else who gets off work logs on) then it’s understandably very frustrating and it feels like you’re paying for a service you are not getting, so I don’t blame you for wanting to unsub at this point.

It’s understandable that the first few days of a new expansion has bad queues, but almost 2 weeks after? It seems like more action should be being taken at this point, rather than just hoping the queues will organically sort themselves out. But then again, is there really any pressure for them to do more?

What action?

[Thoosa]

Optimising code (so they can run servers less hot and handle more connections), speeding up queue times, stabilising/reliability of the client so it stops doing 2002 errors. I can’t see any more maintenance time being scheduled in for more patching, etc.
