This is sad.

I think its funny how everyone is complaining about the servers being full or whatever, I get home around 5pm try to log on with "Server Full" Messages, I try for about 5 minutes and I'm in and playing till 12am no problems. People are just impatient and stupid. I'm actually glad they are complaining because if they keep it up they might get pissed off and quit, which is PERFECTLY FINE with me.. easier for me to log and removes those negative people from the community.

No offense but just because you were able to get in after 5 minutes doesn't mean other people were.

YOSHI-P!!

Pshaw.
I get in on the first try.

On the other hand, I'm also brazilian, which means my timezone is such that when I usually start up the game it's well before it starts getting crowded. But by the time I have my first crash (I invariably crash, my ISP sucks globes and at around 10 PM local the entire internet goes down) it's smack in the middle of peak NA hours and I just can't get in again.

I think people are definitely simply upset by a lack of queue, seeing an error message makes your blood boil, but seeing yourself in position 57324 of a queue (that won't let you in until the next day anyway) gives you false hope. Both are the same thing, it's all about manipulating our emotions.

I'm from older (but not too older) generations where queuing wasn't a thing that was common, it's definitely a quality of life thing, but hardly a thing to get angry at

Same for me, same for my SO, and same for everyone in my free company. It's really not that tough to get in, you just need to lean on that 0 key like it owes you money.

I think people are upset because they have to "keep trying" to log in. A lot of these rage threads would not exist if we weren't forced to manually sit and keep clicking or pressing 0 to try over and over again. A queue should have been properly implemented. I don't mind server caps or character creation restrictions, those are expected at major launches ... I just don't want to sit there like an idiot tapping the same button hoping I get in. It's ridiculous from a client/customer point of view.

Also very true.

Thanks Yoshi , it is a great game, yesterday and today had no problems logging in*knock on wood*.

This game is great, I like the scenery and the dynamic weather changes .

Good luck to you and I hope I will have the pleasure to experience future content by your hand

Thank you. I didn’t see this anywhere in the thread.

Rein linked it to me just minutes before I linked it to you

Without it I could definitely understand the gist of the discourse, but I'm not good enough for a literal translation.

I'm confused. Was he not paid for this under taking? Is the emotion more a response to his strict culture and the stigma of failure? Guy before him got canned. The CEO called the product a stain on the shield that is Final Fantasy.

Rage-a-hol aside I don't get sympathy when my end results are sub par. I remember reading on one thread something g about trophies for participating. They got their trophy in their pay checks. Time to deliver. Fire the server team if the core game isn't the issue. At this rate this game's launch is going to cut it off at its knees and me think Square's board aren't going to be as sympathetic.

While I agree with the sentiment of the OP, I personally try not to let myself get worked up over it. People will have their opinions, and honestly, MMOs gain and lose players all the time. I don't ONLY play MMOs that are considered some kind of crazy resounding success with absolutely perfect launches (I really can't think of any MMO launches I've been in that even meet that criteria, and I've been in a fair few). Eventually those who don't like the game will leave, and those who do will still be around.

In the end, I see a game that I absolutely love, but is just suffering from a few (purely technical) issues that will inevitably be solved over time. I'm not saying they shouldn't be tirelessly working to correct the datacenter issues, but the issues this time around are far from what the game originally suffered through in version 1.0. 1.0 suffered from design problems first and foremost, even if there were or weren't full-server issues at launch, the problem was once you actually got into the game, the game itself was a problem. With 2.0, I'm having trouble getting into Eorzea, but when I AM able to visit, it's a place I love to be. 'Please look forward to it', well, I tell you what, I look forward to each and every visit, and I look forward to the journey there becoming a bit less problematic. X3

Why don't we just celebrate Naoki-san's achievements rather than antagonise and attack the nastier side of community again. Ignore them.

Celebrate the good

The video made me cry. Mainly because I generally cry when people cry because I'd weird/emotional. Yoshi has taken something that failed and evolved it into something awesome back. Everyone seems to only be complaining about server issues (from what I've read) and you know what, that's a good thing in away. They're not complaining about the content and the fact everyone was getting so frustrated with the downtime just proves they wanted to be IN the world and PLAY! Yoshi P must love that people want to play his game!

I'm loving it

[Rydis]

im confused, are we supposed to feel bad because the guy screwed up and is crying over it?

They had all the prep time they needed, they had multiple betas and previous experience.

Not only that, they know the NA/EU are congested, and only current solution is to prevent paying players from playing the game by restricting logins.

Not only that, they are planning on releases more servers for JP only. And we are supposed to feel sorry for this guy and his bad decision one after another? I think not. He failed, and he knows it. Stop crying and fix it.
