Addict much? Just wait a week or so for the server issues to be fixed, I not going to be bothered with desperately trying to get a game to work. It dosent work right now do something else. .

I stopped trying to log in as of yesterday and don't even miss the game. Right now I am at the point where I don't care if I never play again....maybe a refund from my credit card company is in order. I doubt I am the only one disenchanted with this release, SE will pay for it. In the end people want to play the game they bought, this when tens of thousands are in game right now enjoying it when they did not pay one more dime to do so. People need to stop fighting it and let paying customers be angry over not getting what they paid for.

This is a bad launch no doubt, but I have been in many mmo releases, they are all bad, it is always best to wait a week or so. I have been able to log in 2 times on a *** server to top it off because the na ones are locked. Its bad but I am not bothered by it, I expected it.

Quit a good product because you cant play for 1 week on a game that is meant to last 10+ years. Get some perspective. Server farms cannot be upgraded over night. even the Japanese servers are full now. The game is full.... jesus christ what does a week matter? you probably payed for the game weeks ago anyway. me? I payed for it 3 friggin years ago.

Sigh. My point is I am disenchanted to the point I am not really even eager to login anymore....isn't this what you wanted? Me to not care about logging in? lol. I have no desire to at the moment and if I did not pay for it I would not care if I did not login for a month. So why not get a refund then purchase the game again if I feel like it? Why does SE deserve to have my money at this time when they did not deliver what I paid for?

Guess it is my fault for getting my main character on a super packed busy server that is so bad it kicks you out of the queue even. It is my fault I do not want to reroll in the first few days on another server. It is always everyone's fault but the company when it comes to games. I am a customer first, gamer second. Should be that way for every adult.

Funny thing is people like me get insulted around the internet for being pissed off over a game and threatening to get a refund due to poor service...as if we are children. Yet the "real" adults want to play a game so bad they would let a company take their firstborn and leave a turd in the middle of their bed if it meant they could wait 1 week to be graced with the privilege to play a video game. At what point did principle stop mattering?

New reports say that the majority of players purchased the game for early access just days before the launch, and that's why the company miscalculated the amount of people who would log in since it was coming from a remake of a failed MMO. Not an excuse of course, but things are looking good for this MMO if there is so much interest. Nearly makes me want to try it out.

I've said it a million times, this is the first MMO launch I have ever been in where I was flat out denied service due to poor planning. I was locked out of Rift for the same reasons but within hours they had new servers up, then added two an hour until everyone could play. Why does SE take over a week to do this?

I call BS on that because they even had to lower the capacity of each server because they were not able to handle being full. You can at least plan for the servers you have to be full and make sure they are working correctly.

Nobody is insulted or p*issed off with you. well I admin I'm finding it abit funny more than anything. do you know the problem with your theory? if you request a bank refund you will likely be banned from Square Enix services for going through INAPPROPRIATE channels to get your refund.... why? when you can wait a damn few days until it either settles or the maintenance patches fix it. My character is on a super packed server, I cannot get in right now... or well II can't be bothered to spam anyway. I'm not crying because it will go away. oh noes.... have to wait a little bit longer... END OF THE WORLD its not like I waited long enough or have nothing else to do. if your in that situation then... err....

Felip has kinda altered what they said... because its not accurate. Sales forcasts based on the awful reception of the first version estimated alot less initial sales than what they received. but the opposite happened. 350k concurrent (for perspect GW2 had 460k at peak) and also had to shut off its digital downloads ect. only they had more servers on launch because of much higher sales forecasts. Simple reality here is, their team that has to estimate player-base and find that balance between too little and too many servers at their server farms failed miserably in this estimation. The producer has said this is the EXACT reason for what is currently going on.

Ok...a couple questions for you guys who have played it.

1. How's the combat?

2. How well does it run?

3. Is the world/zones instanced?

4. Do you find it fun and wanting to get in there and play more?

5. Why do all Japenese MMOs have to look like Speedracer?

1. Combat feels very fluid and polished, but is nothing innovative, very nice to watch though. 

2. It runs very well on my machine, everything maxed its the best looking MMO I have ever seen. Sound is a little unoptomized as I have to turn it to ~10 whenever i enter teamspeak. 

3. Yes. 

4. Yes. I played FFXI for 4 years so this is pretty much what I have been waiting for. Though the ease of it is turning me off a bit, I still love Final Fantasy. 

5. BECAUSE, REASONS.

I think your PC will be fine with the game and I get 0 network lag. The game is a great nod to the Final Fantasy series. Everything from music to combat pulls from other games of the series and combines it into one game. If you like Final Fantasy in the slightest I think you would enjoy this. I always look forward to a game I enjoy playing. The dungeons are fun because the Limit Breaks are over the top and cool to watch. I hope this turns out to be a very successful MMO for them.

To be honest I have not been a huge fan of FF games in the past but I do enjoy MMOs a lot.

Do you think I would probably be able to max it out?

Too bad everything is zoned. Does it feel polished? Well other than the server drama.

Just another gamer who is okay with mediocrity. Thank you for contributing the crap we get on every release day with your sympathy to the poor little game companies. I did not say you were pissed off or insulted with me, read again. You are flat out being an insulting ass right now with your last paragraph just like all the fanboys are being. Why can't someone like me complain about not being able to use a product I paid for without someone like you going here? Just because I have other things to do I should sit back and be cool that someone I paid money to for something is not living up to their end of the deal? Wtf does me having other things to do have to do with this? You cannot get in right now huh....last I checked you were level 50 already so you are obviously not having the issues I am, therefore you are nothing but a hypocrite in your entire reply. Don't pretend we are having the same issues and you are being the "bigger man."

 

I'm done here. Enjoy your ****ing game.

[QUOTE="IxX3xil3d0n3XxI"]I believe your system is better than mine and i can max it no problem. Running a gtx 570 i-7 2600 and 8gb ramBSC14

Too bad everything is zoned. Does it feel polished? Well other than the server drama.

Yes, it feels polished. I believe Amazon started selling them again. Again, if you would like me to stream it, ive been online all day. Maintenance in 2 1/2 hours though.

I'm sure I could find it at my local walmart/bestbuy....or is it online only to buy it?

Not trying to start the stupid "MMO vs MMO" thing, but you said it's the best looking MMO you ever played? Hmmm....I ran the Benchmark on my PC (full maxed graphics), and I agree it looks great but personally not better than GW2.

I have to say after watching some impressions on youtube I'm interested. I might wait until later this week though...maybe Thursday afternoon.

Maybe by then it will be running better.

Also I have never been a FF fan...so I'm unsure at the moment.

Its mostly art style preference. IMO the best looking MMOs I have played is FF14, TERA, and GW2.

New reports say that the majority of players purchased the game for early access just days before the launch, and that's why the company miscalculated the amount of people who would log in since it was coming from a remake of a failed MMO. Not an excuse of course, but things are looking good for this MMO if there is so much interest. Nearly makes me want to try it out.FelipeInside

Get it, outside of the server issues the game is pretty fun and it's probably one of the best looking MMO's I've played, it does have it's optimizing issues though but no where near as bad as Swtor.

I would but with my limited time I never get to enjoy ANY MMO cause I jump between them, lol.... And there's just something about the Anime type character models of FF Games that puts me off.

I suppose it did. SE still has a login cap on to monitor the situation. The true test will come prime time in US. I personally doubt much will be changed unless they offer free transfers. No one wants to reroll on a new server and start from scratch.

[QUOTE="MBirdy88"][QUOTE="vfibsux"]

Sigh. My point is I am disenchanted to the point I am not really even eager to login anymore....isn't this what you wanted? Me to not care about logging in? lol. I have no desire to at the moment and if I did not pay for it I would not care if I did not login for a month. So why not get a refund then purchase the game again if I feel like it? Why does SE deserve to have my money at this time when they did not deliver what I paid for?

Guess it is my fault for getting my main character on a super packed busy server that is so bad it kicks you out of the queue even. It is my fault I do not want to reroll in the first few days on another server. It is always everyone's fault but the company when it comes to games. I am a customer first, gamer second. Should be that way for every adult.

Funny thing is people like me get insulted around the internet for being pissed off over a game and threatening to get a refund due to poor service...as if we are children. Yet the "real" adults want to play a game so bad they would let a company take their firstborn and leave a turd in the middle of their bed if it meant they could wait 1 week to be graced with the privilege to play a video game. At what point did principle stop mattering?

vfibsux

Nobody is insulted or p*issed off with you. well I admin I'm finding it abit funny more than anything. do you know the problem with your theory? if you request a bank refund you will likely be banned from Square Enix services for going through INAPPROPRIATE channels to get your refund.... why? when you can wait a damn few days until it either settles or the maintenance patches fix it. My character is on a super packed server, I cannot get in right now... or well II can't be bothered to spam anyway. I'm not crying because it will go away. oh noes.... have to wait a little bit longer... END OF THE WORLD its not like I waited long enough or have nothing else to do. if your in that situation then... err....

Just another gamer who is okay with mediocrity. Thank you for contributing the crap we get on every release day with your sympathy to the poor little game companies. I did not say you were pissed off or insulted with me, read again. You are flat out being an insulting ass right now with your last paragraph just like all the fanboys are being. Why can't someone like me complain about not being able to use a product I paid for without someone like you going here? Just because I have other things to do I should sit back and be cool that someone I paid money to for something is not living up to their end of the deal? Wtf does me having other things to do have to do with this? You cannot get in right now huh....last I checked you were level 50 already so you are obviously not having the issues I am, therefore you are nothing but a hypocrite in your entire reply. Don't pretend we are having the same issues and you are being the "bigger man."

 

I'm done here. Enjoy your ****ing game.

You have the issues because your doing it wrong. log on at damn offpeak and leave the game on ITS THAT SIMPLE or use the many tips already given to you. my god your free time hasn't even started to go down yet. my girlfreind STILL cannot play, shes not crying like you.

Maybe the company should give all users a free month of play for their patience?

They did give 7 days, so thats a start atleast. If you register before the 9th you will get the 7 days tacked onto your 30 days.

· Also it's not about the money...it's about being extremely disappointed that you can't play.

I don't think the $$ is an issue for most.

No of course not, but with the company giving out free time it helps the relationship with the consumers.

I agree with this. I would give up my free month if it meant no login issues. I do also agree we as gamers should expect better from billion dollar companies on launch days. That said, I am still loving the game.

I will not get to play until tonight... Its never to bad on the server I play, which is Phoenix. I normally have a queue, but its always lower than 10. Between Kids and Work I get a few hours in a night after it all settles down.

All my mates earlier today got in first time. but it took me a good 10-20 tries with new errors popping up. even with the server capacity increase at peak its still playing up with today's 1 GB maintenance patch. but nowhere near as bad as it was. But I am on Moogle.... ridiculously high pop server... so maybe not so bad for others. Whoevers playing now, whats your lodestones?
