It's Been Fun

yes they have a rocky start.. just wait a couple of days. Jeez... everyone is soo entiled! They are doing their best and communicating it ALL... patience!

[Hiroichirou]

They are Not doing their best and Barely communicating at ALL... patience!

Here i fixed it for you.

You know...I've been very patient about all this even though I've been locked out for at least a chunk of each day since OB4. And I'll continue to give them some more time to see how things look after Wednesday. But what you said is just plain wrong. First, this "you're so entitled" line is getting realllllllllllllly old. Yes, people are acting entitled...To a product that they paid for and have high hopes in. Sure, we're not being charged for a sub yet, but we have put down money for a game that hasn't properly worked most of the time we've access to it yet. Hopefully that will change soon...But really, adding new servers without giving us the chance to transfer off the crowded ones isn't automatically going to fix the issues. But we'll hope...

Secondly, they are most certainly NOT communicating it all. Just a half an hour ago, the launcher page finally updated that there are connection problems they are aware of...On the JP servers. Still no mention of the fact that the last "update" claiming they had "addressed" the NA/EU errors from yesterday was blatantly false. And then no mention of the fact that we have been getting lobby errors since at least 6am EST (maybe earlier, but that's when I first tried.)

So yeah, have hope in the game. It's great, when you can get in. But please, stop insulting the intelligence of the community by suggesting that it is a sense of unearned entitlement that has people wanting to play the game they paid for, and that SE has been even remotely effective in actually communicating with us. Yoshi's letters are nice little sentimental "Oops, sorry" moments but that's about all they are.

I hope this game gets on track because it really is a great game. But don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.

No they not.
We get a damn update once in a blue moon.
Tickets get closed, no one replies to them, they mark them as not important.
Servers shoulda been fixed now. We are entitled, because we spent money on this game and we cannot play it.
It's frustrating. Now people are getting inpatient, but man if Wednesday comes here and shit still goes to hell.
I really don't know what they can do. AFK system may be of great help. Otherwise, bust in the system.
I don't like people who try to calm the crowd and tell us to be patient, with all due respect, but you're just aiming yourself right slap dab
in a middle of a snipers range. I can't even White Knight for no one because this is full out ridiculous.
Most peoples who tell us to chill is probably ones up there AFKing sittin' on a tree never needing to log out and playing.
Now I love this game and I'm not going to up and leave, but I really...really hope once this blows over we won't have anymore
serious problems like this for loooooong time if ever again.

This is only an opinion and a stray thought, not meant to offend.
That being said, I have to wonder when people say be patient if these are people who actually paid for the game themselves (i.e. did their parents buy the game for them) or is it someone independantly wealthy who can afford to throw good money after bad.
It matters because that generally will determine your attitude towards getting poor customer service or a poor product.
When you actually have to work for every cent you spend it became a lot more personal when you wasted your money on something for example.

More importantly, how did you get away with 30$ I paid 40$....

Also, if you are on Holiday like in NA right now, it can be a bit daunting when you don't get to spend that one extra day off from work the way you had planned (wheter it is gaming, going to the beach, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, what have you) and it ticks you off when companies don't take that into consideration. Not that they should or shouldn't it is just a "thing" that is annoying.
Kind of like dogs eating your turkey on Christmas and you having to go to a Chinese restaurant instead....oh no wait, that was a movie...
In this case WoW is the Chinese restaurant and FFXIV is the turkey...just saying...

I hope I paid for it. My grandkids wont do it !

I still dont think I wasted my money, It takes time to get new things off the ground. If I have to limp along for a few weeks, so be it. It looks like now I may be in luck after that if all the "blow hards" that threaten to quit, do. But they wont they just like to complain

I hear that WoW is needing players. They might welcome you. hehe

Yo man, you need to chill out.

The game has proven much more popular than anticipated, which is great for its long-term health, and therefore great for players like me that plan to spend years with it.

Deal with it, and give it a few more weeks.
