Add A Server Status Area to Home Screen

  • The hungering deep is coming out today; however, the servers are down. I checked the forums and the insiders stuff to figure out why I was getting kiwibeards. I checked the server status option on the website, and it says servers are live and running. I had to go to twitter, which I don't have atm, to figure out I won't be able to play for about another hour and a half at least. This isn't going into the support thread because I think adding a little status bar would help relations and lack of communication. As of late, the unstable servers seemed to be ignored by rare and they had the same error message in their websites server status for 6 days.

    I think adding this will let us know they are aware of the problem, cut down unnecessary support tickets, and make it seem like they are more present. If we are replacing a finished game with live services, we need more developer presence. Inn side story and the dev updates are nice, but they need just a bit more.

    I'm passionate about the game, and the community. I'm only critical of it because I want it to be the best it can be.

  • The server status page does also contain this information;

    The game will be unavailable due to necessary maintenance at these times:

    Tuesday 29th May 9am – 2pm BST
    
  • Oh yeah there is something like that on FFXIV launcher, you just have to click and you can see if the servers are up and if remember right you are even told on the launcher when you try starting the game if there is a maintenance ongoing. Adding something like that to the home screen could be nice.

  • @warmedxmints when I checked just before I posted this (probably about 45 mins) it said everything was fine. I might have missed it, but I still had to go pretty far out of my way to find it. That's a problem

  • Would possibly be nice to have something like the following??? Maybe?

  • @musicmee if you are being sarcastic, go somewhere else. I'm giving feedback on a convienent feature. If you are not being sarcastic, then yeah. I'd love a simple notification like that on the game. It isn't that hard of a code and prevents people having to hop on another device to find out why their game isn't working.
