Stuck at lvl 50 until expansion drops?

[l'Enflure(Qc)]

Ok so i grinded my main job to 50 to get a feel of the game and i read that if you get shadowbringers it comes with all the previous expansions. so i go forward and buy the expansion just to realize that:
1- cant register the expansion til july 2
2- still can't level past 50 which means im losing the road to 60 buff
3- will waste a month and a half of play time being stuck there...

seriously there must have been a way to grant the expansions before the release.
worst game management ever

I fixed this by not subscribing until after the expansion releases saves 15 USD americano a month for greedy publishers that wanna gouge for older expansions that no longer have material value I also hate the steam exclusive drm square enix and steam have here so you cannot buy the game expansion anywhere where else as steams prices suck and this is not even a steam game it is square enix 3rd party drm and launcher no different then epic games launcher etc

You speak of greedy publishers and what do you say about OP then? He bought the expansion without even reading the notice that comes with it, what do you say about that? is it SE fault for people that don't even pay attention to what they are buying?

When you go to a pharmacy do you buy medicine without knowing it's effects? Do you go to a gas station toss a coin and fill the tank with a random fuel or you car to know the proper one that your car uses?

You people need to stop blaming third party because of mystakes of your own.

It's like the Heavensward for free thing...people on steam bash SE for not getting HW free on steam, well if they go to the store they will not see it anywhere because as you said Steam is a 3rd party platform, it is said and should be known that HWcomes free with Stormblood or you pre-order Shadowbringers and you have to wait until July...the deals like HW for free are exclusive to SE store.

This is like all those posts of people bashing SE and Steam for not being able do redeem the codes, i came from WoW and gladly i left that game because FF14 for me is so much better both the game and community, from the moment i purchased the game until now i haven't had a single issue with my account on steam and i pre-ordered and already redeemed the codes for Shadowbringers as soon as they were available.

Pay attention to what you buy and stop blamming others for your own fails.

he didn't buy anything pre orders are refundable by law unless there are no consumer protection laws in place
everyone thing you said was a delivered product he received nothing but a pipe dream

Well many of us bought a pipe dream then...and despite everything people are free to pre-order or not.

HW is not free on steam.

[Hachikuji]

Nope, Steam recently got HW free

[Snowskeeper]

OP is able to get it free, yeah. I can't remember the exact cutoff date, but if you purchased it very recently you may not be able to. Check the news posts.

EDIT: If you purchased it after May 31st, you won't be able to grab it for free; otherwise, you're good.

Lots of hostile people in here. So much for a "positive" community.

Hostile? Well if one day you play games like Overwatch or WoW i don't even want to imagine what word you would figure out to describe those communities.

Every time someone mentions the community being hostile/toxic someone responds with your verbatim reply. I played both of those games from release and hands down this forum community is worse than either of them. The key word here is ‘forum’. The in game community I experienced was great and totally different.

I have to say it IS a bit odd to not just activate the prior xpacs via the pre-order code, but such is life.

[Elenoe]

you've just misunderstood. It's exactly the same. Once you register your Shadowbringers code you get access to both previous expansions. That's exactly same for Steam and non-Steam versions.

You just can't register the code for neither platform until after it's released on July 2nd. Mogstation simply doesn't allow that now. Doesn't matter where you buy the code. I already have mine from Steam. You have yours. And the exactly same code you get from Square shop.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this for real or just a joke lol. are people really this stupid and intitled???

Square Enix worships mammon so on steam you will need to make a double purchase in order to play or level up gotta feed Square Enix's insatiable greed for money

Stormblood costs $50 CAD (don't know what it costs USD; not doing the conversion right now). Shadowbringers costs $50 to pre-order. If you pre-order ShB and wait until the 28th to start playing, you're paying half of what you would to start StB now. As of now, June 28th is 8 days away. Even adding on the cost of a subscription, $12.99 CAD, you're still saving $37 dollars.

Most games require you to purchase every expansion individually. It's not really feasible for MMOs to do that, long-term; if new players can't access later content without first purchasing earlier content, then later content isn't going to be very effective at drawing in new players. So obviously their motives are not altruistic. It still seems incredibly silly, however, to describe Square as devil-worshippers for providing close to $100 CAD worth of content (remembering that HW is bundled in there as well) for free, with the purchase of ShB.

I don't understand the autism here, I have the same problem and tbh, the only ones losing here are the people at Square Enix.

If I could register SHB and get SB, I would have bought game time, but as I can't I'm waiting one month until the expansion drops. I think a lot of people share my situation and SQE just lost 1 month of game time from us.

That said, in about two weeks this will be a non-issue, so idc anymore.
