Maintenance Timing

[GhulgraudBrave]

Why on earth in the maintenance time so stupid, like it's a weekend and your deciding to do 4 hour maintenance from 12:30 until 16:30, who thought that was a good idea. We need to have a free day sub for this because that pretty much the whole day for some of us who are not able to play that much.

[AlessaImpera]

having to go to work shortly after the maintenance ends today, is quite unfortunate.

I get that it's not convient for you. I'm in EU too.
But, the reason is most likely due to the maintenance team is located in JP.

We are getting 2 (10 if you're on Xbox) days compensated. Let's not be karens.

The fix is apparently to patch the Xbox freezing issue. I'm sure the xbox community is happy the issue that been going on for 2 weeks is getting attention ASAP and not waiting until next week.

If the issue affected PC/Playstation I'm sure people would say the same thing, demanding it to get patched ASAP a solution is found.

Correction: PS getting 2 days, Xbox getting 10 days, and PCs are getting absolutely nothing but wasted time. Today's finally the day I'm available to progress the MSQ, and guess what? Maintenance.

Shall we do a maintenance during the week time? Naaah let's do it on the weekend. Ridiculous.

All other players, including those on PlayStation®5 / PlayStation®4
Must have registered the full version of FINAL FANTASY XIV, regardless of platform
AND have an active subscription as of July 4, 2024 at 10:30 p.m. (PST)
Game time granted: 2 days

So PC players should get it too.

Everyone gets 2 days and Xbox gets 10.

This is why we need separate servers for console and pc.. The experiences of each system are so different. FF 14 on the computer has its 400+ third party apps and 5 bots which are fully supported and have been working for 10 years. Console players are so disadvantaged vs computers.

Wouldn't that ruin the cross-platform part though?

Honestly I was wondered why they brought FFXIV to X Box in general.
Isn't this console dieing for years now? Sales in Japan are very poor.
Globally, things aren't going well either. I also heard that it's pointlessly difficult
for X Box players to make the FFXIV subscription.

It's just my personal opinion, but I think it was a mistake to port it to X Box.
But I have not much knowlegde of how the buisness goes and why they did it.

Why not? There are other markets than japan, you know?
Getting the game on more platforms is not a bad thing.

Has it been going on for two weeks or is it getting fixed ASAP, both can't be true. Also, if the issue is Xbox exclusively this is why cross platform games stink. Things take forever to get approved through Sony or Microsoft, then because they play on inferior devices the PC gamers have to suffer downtimes.

Supposedly its been an issue since EA launched, hence 2 weeks.

yeah lets fck up 90% ot the playerbase for a smaller group. NOONE says they dont have to fix it but why on a day where people have time. Xbox community will be happy who cares they couldve waited till tuessday like litterally everyone else. DT is more and more a spit in the face for people who actually try to play this game with all its "minor" flaws geez i have to wash my hands after saying this... but yeah lets fck up everyones saturday with a 4 hours maint. 10 people will be happy. good lord some people will coping even if this game will lose all their players ...

For real? Oh wow, does that bring back memories. I remember in the 360 days back when my xbox would freeze just before the end of Beseiged, totally losing all my participation. Good times.

Really glad they are addressing problems with the console if that's the case. Nothing sucks more than having the latest gen device and a game that isn't ported to it properly.

first time i am hearing this but why they adress it just now ?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

first time i am hearing this but why they adress it just now ?

Because they just finalized the tests for the fix and can deploy it?




Do you think fixes are found instantly for complex issues?
