1017-Could be the deciding factor on whether to subscribe or not

[LeviathanElite]

No one's paying for the subscription yet. And anyone who's bought days will likely be getting extensions.

So obviously A) you are working for Square Enix or are just a fanboy or fangirl. or B) You dont understand logic.

They said they would give us 1 free week. Does that sound like 2 extra months of time to you? During that time will you not have to pay to play or not? I'm pretty sure you will. So yes, while people are not paying right now... they did pay for the game which also costs money. The game did not come free with the local walmart buy an orange get ffxiv free. It costed MONEY. Now I understand a few messups, but this is ridiculous. How can you keep defending them>? Listen... if you seriously think people are going to pay 15 dollars a month for a game they cant even play during normal hours... then you are either delusional or just stupid.

Do you understand how bad of a response is that? Do you understand they have 1 strike already and reputation is bad, in fact reviews are horrid at the moment cause of this choatic mess, do you understand this can be end before it begins. This all could have been fixed if the Square Enix developers implemented an AFK mechanism.

No, I guarantee many are not subbing and I got my $$$ refund cause GameStop knows how bad the launch was, just because they didn't put in an AFK system.

Your response is worse, I guarantee you. If anything, I'm being realistic--it's likely not going to be fixed by Wednesday. And a lot of you are failing to understand that an AFK timer can be easily circumvented; it would fix the problem for half a day, and then no one would be able to log in again. That's not a solution.

Also: I want to know where you're getting your stats from. Critic previews and reviews have been mostly positive, so have User reviews. Rock-bottom reviews are coming from angry morons who are rating their login experience and not the actual game.

1. I'm speaking specifically about that week and the three day extension on the Early Access period. Get your head out of your ass.
2. They've given away a free year and discounted the subscription heavily in the past (down to three dollars a month). From a business perspective, I could see them doing it again if it meant they could keep a steady base of subscribers. Whether they would give away an entire month is cause for debate (given that Wada is no longer the President), but it's also not entirely impossible.

I am really torn with the game, I mean its not a great MMO but its most def playable and there are things that is very much enjoyable. MMOs take couple years after released to be polished and I get that. BUT, the way they have handled all the server issues while still promising the world in future patches really eats at me. Yoshida should be a politician, I want to believe the guy but chances are its just bullshit.

I really hate make or breaking a game on server issues. But, I took a week off with half of it dedicated to this game and I feel more stressed out going back to work then when I left work. I just don't want that kind of stress when I am looking for a game to just get lost in for a couple hours a night.

Its make or break wednesday for me.

Your response is worse,

Ok so you are clearly just trolling this thread. Please leave.

[Catroot]

It's not like just waiting until they fix the problem is a viable solution. We must demand reparations!
We all (1.0 players & newcomers) have a certain free to play period, and because of these issues
many of us (the vast majority) are effectively being ripped off! Seriously , like we have to wait until
a subscription fee is necessary before we can play w/o issue? NO!

They MUST extend the free to play period for all users! By at least as long as these issue have been
present. You know, 1.0 was free to play for several months because of customer dissatisfaction?

I'm hoping SE does the right thing and holds off on the subscription fee's for at least a week, or two.

On a related issue, one thing that is really beginning to irk me about 1017 is the message it displays:
"The server is currently full. Please wait for an opening"?

This implies that the user would be some how aware or notified of an open spot to get in, such as
a "queue" ARR~gggg!

[SheepFluff]

They have extended it. They are already giving everyone 1 week extra and possibly more depending what happens on the major fix on wednesday and like most people that wednesday will decide for most people whether they will stick to this game or not

[SenKoyo]

I get that there will be server issues. It happens, whatever. But I have spent 5 hours of my day on the login screen. Hurray for a holiday.

If there were a queue, even if it went upwards into the thousands, I would have been totally fine with it. But no, the only time I seem to get into a queue is when I'm number 15 in line and it takes mere seconds to get in.

I just want to kill Titan, dammit. :|

yeah...plagued by this on my day off today...give it a like a share; get the word out!

[ZyloWolfBane]

This is make it or break it time this week, either they fix it now or I'm out. I'm sure many agree with that.

The holiday gaming season is nearly upon us, and I'm not wasting money on a game I can't play when there's way better things coming, I gave this a shot during 1.0 and SE did nothing but apologize....they begged us to come back for ARR and this was our reward.

Well I'm fed up, even the most tolerant of people dump their worthless spouses eventually.
