Holy shit, just got in after hardcore spamming. Guys, just spam that shit. I'm sure the servers won't mind. You're pretty much just knocking on the servers door. If the server is not hearing the door at first, just knock harder.

Thats the one use I have had for this game's gamepad support. Just watch something on netflix and hammer away at the A button.
Every launch MMO has delays due to server loads. It's kind of degenerate the way they're doing it, but there was clearly something wrong with the queueing system, so they had to find some way to make it a stable experience for the people who were in. I think they did it the right way, because once you're in, it's quite solid and you can really settle in and appreciate the experience. It's an amazing game and I hope that they find a solution that will reduce the headaches for people, so that everyone can play the game when they want without staying logged in 24/7.
It's really a confluence of several things that is causing all of this:
1) Lots of people using illegitimate early access codes from preordering the game and then canceling
2) Servers designed around 5,000 concurrent logins, but clearly getting many times more than that due to good word of mouth
3) Queueing system that works improperly and lets too many people in
4) The game itself is awesome

Just read a decent chunk of the OP. This thread being so massive and always on the first page has got me interested. Gonna go in blind, see ya out there.
I would wait a few days for the servers to even out.
Has anyone had any luck getting their veteran rewards? I've tried looking for some NA time cards, but haven't found any in my area.

This is far from the biggest launch disaster of any mmorpg..
a disaster is when the servers are down for hours and no one can play.
This is a few people upset because they can't create characters on their friends servers or being told that the server is full when they try to log in.
At this point, the problem is more that they don't have more servers ready to go up to handle the new influx of players so a lot more people are going to feel frustrated today and continuing until they get more servers up.
Did they screw up by not implementing a proper login queue that let players wait for an open slot on the server? Yep.
Were the first 24-48 hours a clusterfuck due to the instance servers not working correctly? Yep.
Were they on the ball with providing us status updates about the issues and what was being done to fix them? Yep.
Can a lot of people log in and play without problems now? Yep.

If you really want it, buy it now but if you can wait (and youll probably be less frustrated by waiting), then wait.
Here's an even more realistic apology. Like . . .Total breakdown. He's really sincere about it and they will be implementing more servers next week. We just need to be patient, as rough as things maybe.

Very happy to see that it is a very positive start to the review. He played the beta, so knows the game is actually good... we just need to get past these launch hurdles with the connections.

Wait a week and see if it's fixed to be honest.
Sigh, the email I used for my CE v1.0 died (stupid university account expired 5 years after graduation) and I can't remember my password for the account, so my CE bonuses are basically gone.
Luckily my brother let me take his CE v1.0 account. Now I'm just contemplating buying the PS3 version and linking it. I have a HTPC hooked up to my TV so I wonder if it's better to just hook up a controller to it. Is the 360 controller the way to go on PC? Mouse/KB is hard to play in bed with.

Got 2 Trophies to appear, Nice!
They should be working i just unlocked two. Some have been saying that they won't work till the game is registered but don't quote me on that. Infact it unlocks most of your trophies in bunches by the look of it. I just got the one for defeating your first enemy and it gave me the achievement for defeating 10,000 enemies right after.
He's pretty incompetent though.
It depends can you play at weird times? If peak times are the only times you can play, then it's not worth it. I probably only got around 4 hours play time. It's the worst launch I have experienced, at least from what I can remember.

Got it this morning and installed and managed to make a char on Coeurl. Game is freaking packed. Took me a while to get in but I just kept hammering it until I got in a queue. Damn wish I didn't have to work today, bah.
Oh man...I feel like that might be what happens to me when I get home. I might just sleep for a few hours and wake up around midnight and just play through if I can't get in reasonably quickly.
You FATE hunting again tonight GraveRobber?

She is really my only problem, I get up there and she is already down to half health.
going to try a few more times.
this is the first time I have had to retry a quest more than once.
Someone should inform them that the MSRP listed is woefully inaccurate.

So no word on how I acess RR if I owned the original game? Haven't gotten any sort of email.

Now why did you have to go and post this. Who am I gonna be angry at now >.>. I guess all in all once you actually get into the servers the game is solid.
But that whole getting in part...
#DisgruntledTeamYoship
Fuck the haters. They put in years of effort and transformed 1.0 into a game that is worthy of the Final Fantasy name. The server problems can't be fully excused by that but in the end it would be unfair to write off the game and the work they put in on that alone. I'm sure things will get better soon enough.
Wanting to play a game they paid for, get called entitled. Sigh.
I regret knocking back this large coffee.
Can't sleep now and knocked off everything on my to-do list earlier. It's storming outside so i can't go for a walk and ive seen everything i wanted to see on netflix

Just sign in on the account you used for 1.0. There's no special steps required it will just work.
So, 7 hours later and I still can't even log into my squareenix account. I am locked out of my account because I registered my security token that doesn't work. I have no clue what I am supposed to do at this point. Called a service hotline and they basically told me they can do nothing for me. I just spend 55€ for a product I can't use. It was nice knowing you Mahou Shoujo but I think this is where our journey ends ;_;/.

Do FATES get any harder at higher levels, or are they always just GW2- style dogpiles?

Don't think you need to do anything as long as you still know the SE account you originally registered the game under. My Roommate was able to log-in and play yesterday without anything.
The 1.0 upgrade to CE gives you all the in game items. If anyone is wondering, it doesn't give you an additional month of play or anything. I know that is probably obvious in some sense, but just in case anyone was wondering. For 19.99 though, I think it's a pretty cool deal. You can then subscribe, and a 1.0 player has all the digital goodies and is subbed a month for about the normal cost of the regular edition on most stores, etc.
Allowances? Starting to regret skipping through all the text.
......Taaaacky.
It's a tease.

Will I still be able to use the downloaded client on my PS3 post August 29th or will I have to use the disc?

Pretty much like anything modern square-enix.
Every 12 hours, you automatically get 4 leve allowances, with a hard cap of 99. You can use them as you get them, or all at once if you get an itch to level some alternate class quickly. I'm saving them for the moment and I'll see where I am at when I have 80 or so, which should happen this weekend.
Just posting to ask for frame rate / rending impressions about the PS3 version of the game - namely if it gets in the way of running instances. Later instance in the game will have what, 10-20+ characters? If the monsters aren't rendering, that's a pretty big drawback.
I want to get the PS3 version, but PVP in GW2 taught me what a clusterfudge it can be when opponents aren't appearing on screen.

I think the whole defense force for someone who can't do his job is pretty sad. Especially when they downplay the problems that people are experiencing.
