134983-compensation

== Content ==
			Before you get all gimmie gimmie gimme how about you let them fix stuff first, i understand the frustration and its more valid than the people how are F2P and just want free stuff, however just give it some time to get it working before they start worrying on what "gifts" you will get  	
----
			
So I am wondering, for those that are signature, that actually support the developers and pay for this game, 
will there be some kind of compensation for the inability to play 2/3 of the day due to lag and such things?
What I mean is that we pay to play 30 days, but the last few days I have not bee able to play anything specially around
6pm to 11pm,. prime game time. So I wonder, since I am not able to play those times as I should be what kind of 
compensation can we expect?

To be truthful, I think it would be a GOOD idea to give some compensation over the past few days of shit servers and whatnot, even if I don't blame carbine for the troubles. I think a PSA announcing a small appreciation, such as a 3-5 day Signature buff to ACTUAL SIGNATURES, not everyone, and perhaps some extra flasks for each char. ​​
 
Nothing too crazy over overdone, but at least as a way to formally apologize. Wildstar tends to fix things in a timely matter, but sometimes they forget folks are still a bit salty over it.
​
Personally IDC, because I expected this bad server stuff. But as an apologize for the new players, as Wildstar thought they were prepared for the new influx of players.

Probably not much, if anything.
 
This has been asked like ... five times already in other threads, today alone.
 
They have, previously, given us minor "thank you" bonuses like boom-boxes. They once gave us a week of compensation when the servers were TOTALLY off-line for two full days due to technical issues.
 
But for Launch Week Blues, I expect the reward will simply be being able to finally play without lag and log-in woes.

			Already a thread on this started just a few minutes ago.As for what you can "expect"? Nothing. You already agreed they're not obligated to compensate for planned or unplanned downtime the first time you logged in.That being said Carbine is nice about handing out small things after problems like this, but it doesn't always happen and it almost definitely won't be pro-rated game time.

			Hmmm for your free account ....... i think they should make you a chr in their game and pay you 500k .... is that enough ?   or they can ignore you like the rest of the world :)  hahaha basement dwellers unit LOL hahahaha	
----
			If anything, I would expect them to hold off on any compensation gifts until after they feel that they have fixed the major issues.  Then maybe give something out as a "hey, thanks for sticking with us while we worked this all out.  We're good now, come back and check it out, and here's some free swag <insert boomboxes, omnibit coins, minipet, whatever>"

Welcome to the launch of ANY MMO. These things are to be expected, if you think that something like this is uncommon when it comes to a launch of any type of MMO then you must be new to the MMO world. Get your big boy panties on and hang tight and this will all be figured out and behind us. As for compensation, no.
----
			Since the defenders here like to bring up WoW still (especially trying to compare this to WoWs original launch which was a full brand new mmo not some f2p patch of the same game that has been out over a year), Blizzard gave out free game time then and gave it out during WoD also for compensation.  So yes, Carbine/NCSoft should compensate those who have paid subs still.

Depends. Blizzard gave us 7 days after that really minor issue with garrisons after WoD launched. And that was nothing compared to CUPCAKE we are going through here. If, by any miracle, we can play, we are hit by lag, HARD.
 
And its going on for days.

			Besides who are the "payingL customers everybody mentioning? I was subscriber before f2p... and I got 4 extra months. For nothing. On one hand it would be fair to give us few extra days, on the other hand, majority of real subscribers got 4 months already so...

			Everyone will get "Special Snowflake" title. Happy?

			Tbh i don't care about compensation, i just want them to fix their issues so i can enjoy the game and relax after work.

			I've seen MMO's in much worse launches where there was no compensation given, and I've seen MMO's in much smoother launches, with compensation given for the smallest problem. At this point it's up in the air.

You ppl make me LAUGH!
 
This is NOT a LAUNCH.  This game has EXISTED for OVER a "YEAR"+++
 
All Carbine did was UPDATE the game and give it a new title.    
 
Its so funny watching ppl defend it and act like its a launch.  
 
The game was fine last week,  they took servers down, applied a client patch (gave the update a name), and its been hell ever since.
 
They should comp. ppl who have been loyal subs.   BUT PLEASE , FOR THE LOVE OF GOD,  stop calling this a launch!  Your just fooling your selves!!!

			More than likely we will see some boomboxes. Other than that I wouldn't expect too much	
----
			It is not the patch. It is that huge amount of new free people after that gigantic money invested into commercials, countdowns and CUPCAKES instead of new HW.

Same here. As someone who only just purchased the Standard Edition of the game on Monday in preparation for the F2P launch, I do not expect any compensation at all. I don't think we need one either and it's a bit silly to expect any let alone ask for it. I just want the game to get in working order.
----
			
Let's see...three days @ ~ $.50/day.....
 
Nah, they can keep their buck-fiddy.  I'm not gonna miss it.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
If they do decide to give compensation then you will be here asking NCSoft to not give it to you?
 
We all know you will be silent and keep any compensation if given.

You got wildstar for free? Why you need to get compensate for not being available to play for 1-4 days? or for not be available to play lag free* Havnt seen any old player complain over this lag or maintence. You shouldnt spend money on a signature before you try the game from the beginning. Carbine probably having people working over everyday and are away from families to get this game working. If you played that many MMO you should know better.
How greedy can people be?
 
----
			But they dont owe us anything guys, because they went "free to play for the players!" LMAO if i actually hear them trying to pass that again then shit idk what to do. Its free 2 play because the game was dying, they can turn it anyway they want but it was dying and had to go f2p like majority of mmos. But really they probably will not give anything back to anyone paying players or not, i guess its hard to expect and influx of players when you go free 2 play, oh wait every mmo has been like this but nothing has been learned

			YEAH GIMME STUFFS NOWZOR!!!

			So this is where all the entitled players are hiding, hello!	
----
			How many times are they really going to use the BUT YOU GOT WILDSTAR FOR FREE, holy shit its free because the game was *cupcake*ing dead stop bragging the devs are gods who care about everyone and are bringing the game to 3rd world countries where people are starving or some shit. Like literally the game was dying so ti had to go free like majority of mmos. The game is amazing and I love it but holy shit fanboys stop stooping to a new low

Best game ever maybe cut off the game 1 day and fix the problem ?
And stop to fix the shop when the game did'nt work ? We know the shop is your priority but it's not ours  ! :)	
----
			please submit a ticket with your address so that you can get your $0.33.  Hell I am sure they will round it up to a full day at $0.50.
