Thi is nonsense.. This is NOT beta anymore..

[Shanzi]

I don't see what the big fuss is over. Problems are occurring, but video games and especially MMORPGs are always going to have problems. The problems are being dealt with and there's still plenty of playtime available. What is there is very polished, functional, and fun.

This is a relatively smooth launch.

#1 "I don't see what the big fuss is over.":
This is not Beta testing correct, or am I in a different universe?

#2 "The problems are being dealt with and there's still plenty of playtime available. What is there is very polished, functional, and fun."
The problems are game breaking if not dealt with asap. "oh wait, error code 90000 has been addressed".

[Unfettered]

Nonsense?

This. Is.

Actually very typical of any MMO launch. They've done pretty well simply for the fact that logins have been going well.
Is it really worth getting that upset?

I can understand the OP's complaints. These were major issues in the small final Beta Test that threw everyone for a loop. SE said that they were going to fix the issues. Now were are in Early Access, which is supposed to be the same as launch. The game is just as buggy if not buggier than B4, with the same major issues littering the game and forcing the game to have to be taken down for long maintenance not even 12 hours into EA. They rushed everything at the very end, and now the players are having to pay for it and SE's reputation (which they wanted to save with this game) is diminishing even further. If they would have run beta throughout the beginning of the month instead of giving 1 weekend near the end, things like this would probably not be an issue. The same issues present today were put off as "It's beta" by many players. Well, the same issues are there and now its not beta. So now there's no excuse.

First of all 3102 IS fixed.

Secondly, every popular MMO is going to have a shaky launch. It makes no financial sense to invest in the infrastructure needed to accommodate the first week or so's onslaught of players.

This game is more polished and "ready" than most MMOs that come out.

No it's not. I'm having that 3102 error right now.

So far for me the launch is more smoother than other MMOs I've been on. I'd much rather they fix the issue and take down the servers for emergency maintenance tbh. If left broken.... people complain.... if servers are taken down for emergency maintenance.... people complain.... What can I say but.... People like to complain!! :P

[RyuPower]

this is a big game
there will be bugs found all the time
fix one thing, it may break something else

if things are not working right,
maintenance will happen with ANY online game

when an online comes out servers will crash and get they overloaded with requests and can not handle all of them

look what happen with the new sim city and Diablo 3
the servers had a hard time with all the users

I truly understand your frustrations friend. I also am beyond frustrated. I did and still do expect there to be bugs and issues. I woke up at 5am to play a little before work and MY issue isn't what you're going through. Mine is what seems like LAG but certainly isn't especially since my computer is certainly capable of running game at high settings and did a net test and was fine. Takes NPC's forever to load up. When they do the (!) icon above their head takes just as long to appear. Also experience spikes of what seems to be "lag" but isn't when casting spells.....really hope w/e fixes they do this is one. I also hope that i am not the only one going through THIS particular issue.

I some what agree with OP, stuff like this happens in MMO's how ever.

- When your open beta stress test kind of failed, has bugs and you need to lock all servers because they can't handle the amount of people your ''try the game' failed.
The problem is that the Japanese didn't had this issue just NA/EU so they didn't bother testing longer and released it like this .

- They stated we would have gotten a longer early access, which they backed down from.
How ever when the early access which you paid for is so short I kind want to play during the EU peak time.
So no I'm not happy when you didn't test proper and do a maintenance now

- The Japanese servers are fine and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Japanese playing final fantasy.
It does beg the question why is it fine there and not here?


If they keep this great treatment up I'm pretty sure their rep will sink and there will be people that won't be putting up with it.
