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

Ok, first and foremost.
The game, when working has great potential, is gorgeous and I am having tons of fun with it.
Thank you.
I will hang in there, no matter what problems we end up dealing with..
Now...
/deep breath...

I paid for this game "again" to get into Early access, because I am 1.0, not legacy...
If you were going to have issues like this, you should of extended Beta testing.

You said you fixed 9000 and 3102.
You should of tested better.
You should of tested for 24 full hours, after you implemented the patches.
Like I said before.
I'll quote my tweet.

@FF_XIV_EN
"You should consider extending it to 24 hours.
6 hours, during non peak server loads, may not be sufficient.
Problems take time."

6 hours is NOT stress testing, at minimal server peak load times.
I even tried to warn ya.
I have made games and scripted them, I know..
This is what happens when you try to rush a game..

I can understand your frustration. I am excited about getting started on the game too; however, I have to say that I am impressed that there was an issue identified wit the duty finder, and they are already working on it. Also, they put the information on the awesome new web site so that we at least knew what is going on. I like the timely information. I really hope they get it resolved quickly as I was having a blast on my marauder

Maintenance and bug fixes are a real thing in any game. Even more so in an mmorpg where broken things can quickly affect thousands of players. Unexpected behavior needs to be fixed and fixed early in the game's life cycle. Does it suck? Yes. Will we all live and get over it? Also Yes. Enjoy your time in the real world ;-).

Every online game on launch has issues.. Diablo 3 I couldn't logon for the first 3 days and my char went poof after an hours play as well. "Deal with it"

While I can try to agree with you, I just can't.
Again, this is NOT beta anymore.
These problems existed in beta and they should of fixed them before releasing the game.
People paid for this..
This is not testing..
We are not testers anymore..
I waited 2 years for this game, tested the whole time I could and posted thorough bug reports..
I did not pay "AGAIN" to get half a game..

If this is how EA was going to go, I wouldn't of pre purchased..

I'm guessing this is your first MMORPG?

Yes it's frustrating, but aside from this, I've been impressed with how smoothly it's gone compared to launches of other MMORPGs!

[Arkae_Daemos]

I paid $5 for this and I can let it side (Yes, I am a v1.0 Non-legacy Owner also.) it's a game breaking issue that needs to be fix as soon as possible. Things like this happen after launch as well as before launch. Have a coke and a smile. be happy they are fixing 6 hours into EA start instead of 6 months after launch.

[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?

[Iskander]

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.

[Pizzagirl]

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.
