Huh, my install size is still too small to have actually downloaded Heavensward, and also the intro movie didn't change nor the splash screen.

Looks about right! I'm kinda glad I'm going away this weekend, everything is just as on fire as I expected.

You either didn't register your early access code or you opted out of Heavensward install

So, like everyone else, I can't get in. But every time I get a 2002, 'The lobby server has encountered an error', it closes down the client, and I have to sign in again. I don't mind the servers being down, that's what I get for trying to login on expansion day, but it's just a pain in the rear end.

Is it too much to ask to just put me back at the title screen so I can try again?

I patched yesterday, before I had an early access code cause Amazon didn't send it yet. I bet that did it. I wonder how to undo that...

You have to do both patches. One is for base game and jobs and poo poo, the other is all of the actual expansion content like Ishgard, new cutscenes, music, etc. Just punch in your EA code and you're set, whenever the gently caress Amazon sends it, else wait til the 23rd. :v:

Indeed. I should make a note to take off my one-time password for the time being because I expect an encore performance come the 23rd.

Hoo boy. I wonder if I screwed myself here. I put in the code amazon gave me in, but as an expansion. That worked. However, as an early access code that one doesn't work(says it's already been redeemed), nor is there another code. Or maybe they screwed up. Either way, I'm glad I'm not gonna be worrying about this much.

There was a separate pre-order code you should have gotten.

I figured, but there's only one code there. Which is leaning towards amazon getting it wrong and giving me the expansion code early instead of the early access code, especially since I can't use it in the square website.

I think they're just saying things to be communicative at this point. There's nothing you can really do after the fact to fix this kind of problem, so you just have to make it look like you're doing something while the massive rush peters out naturally over time.
