Thanks SE, great 1017 fix!!!

[Taelor]

OMG guys you are so complaning for nothing ! They already addressed an answer for what was coming ! It is getting fixed as fast as they can !

Betas were doing great but they had issued evaluating how many people would buy this game. It was far more popular than it was predicted, thats all.

If i remember well, firsts days of vanilla WoW was pretty much as shitty as this is being right now. SWTOR too, just saying. Bugs happens, they fix it.

Now go eat a sandwish and wait for it to be fixed goddamn.

This type of crap really get's me going. Had issues getting a number for pre-orders? Umm yeah.

I did NOT have a good experience during the open beta, which was one of the shortest in history. Others had issues as well that created log in issues for them. What you are missing is that they didn't have a contingency plan at the time of launch. Wow was spinning up new servers at a high rate, I stated on one server then moved to another server.

The reality is that this launch was predictable. They simply did not do enough testing. Because others had issues does not give these guys the benefit of the doubt, since we are a week into these issues and it is not getting better. Actually today has been worse than it has all week.

They have no communicated a real plan to the user base. They create error conditions that cause the client to close. They create a message that says you can't log in, try when it isn't so busy (thx bye). The message is idiotic as there is no way to know (well other than you already know it's full).

Their only resolution to this point is to reduce the number of current logins to create stability for those that are lucky enough to get in. How are you supposed to decide if you want to active your subscription with these issues?

Now on to something else. What fix was the OP talking about? Is there somewhere with patch notes or something? My guess is there hasn't been a "fix" and the OP is just confused. But I've been know to get wrong.

To the community. This is NOT how you handle QA and beta's before launch. It is certainly not how you handle contingencies at launch. That they have went this long without doing anything meaningful is a huge black mark on this company.

As I write this, the client teases me with a loading screen and then I get a lobby error and the client closes. That is the kind of nonsense I am talking about. Now I have to go back into the launcher and log back in.

One frigging thing they could do that might be fairly easy. Don't try and get the entire friggin server list for both regions which bring up your characters from your last login server. That seems to be a lot of unnessary traffic as thousands of people attempt to log in over and over and over. Not to mention I wouldn't get some idiotic delay at it tries to bring up the JP server list in the background. Query the damn preferred server unless you get the world button.

not making anything personal. he expressed anger that he worked 54 hours this week and wanted to play and acted like its a big deal, i just explained that he may think thats rough, but think about others as well.

the reason there are world population limits is to prevent a server from getting to overloaded and crashing, thats what they do not want and have been preventing thus far. would you like to be in the middle of something important and the entire world crash?

and the reason you can not log into other worlds with your character is because your character is stored in a database on a single server and so no other server has direct access to that data.

The problem with making light of 54 hours is that, as a programmer, you are compensated accordingly. To make light of his work schedule without knowing any other information other than the number of hours that were worked can come across as demeaning. Look at it from the perspective that he is working 54 hours this week for minimum wage, and just wanted to relax by playing a game.

I can understand that you are trying to calm others down, but those kinds of comments are going to have the opposite effect.

I know what you mean and I agree with you. It is not well planned. But does it deserve so much hate from people ? They have the right to be angry, but now that its getting fixed.. And btw the fix is that they are building new servers that should be operationals -they said- around wednesday. What I say is that now they know it's not woking right. Why still complain ? They heard, now they know. We don't have any choice but either get refunded or wait. And the game's great, and when everything will be fixed, its gonna be a hell of an MMO so I prefer to wait. But you can be angry. It's just pointless to create hundreds of topics about that. That was my point.

Erm... Nope... Actually wow had some issues in the first week, yes. But pretty much everyone was able to play and they had many times more ppl than FF XIV has right now. And as for SWTOR, it was crappy at launch and it's still crappy, because it's a crappy game and unless you want FF XIV to be a piece of garbage like SWTOR, you shouldn't compare them.


@Edit

Forgot to say but... Broooo~ You high or something? That shit ain't no bug man, this is crappy service provide by SN employees that have brain damage caused by too much failure.

Because: 20 servers for japan, because Japan is big country, not a tiny little island! and 20 Servers for rest of the world, because world is small! ( Yeah, pretty much the entire rest of the world aside from Oceania is using the NA/EU servers. )

Jokes on you SN.

Hey guys! I've heard there's a new game in the works!

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn: Again: For real!: We Mean it This Time!: No Foolin'!

It's going to be epic!

As big a failure as the V 1.0

54 hours, thats it? try working as a programmer at a fast paced high demand company, i am lucky if i do not work 7 days a week and working into the late hours of the night on each of those 7 days. why not relax and do something more constructive than causing such commotion. yes i am well away you're upset, as are a lot of others but acting this way wont solve any of the problems that are currently occurring. i am sure you have better things to do than wasting your time doing nothing.

It's just like their brilliant fix of stopping game sales and preventing people from creating characters on any servers. They really know what they are doing over at SE.
