1017 and Timeline

I would much rather have a queue with 10k people in it and know that I can come back in a couple hours to play instead of having to sit at my computer for hours on end pressing the same button over and over.

They know how many copies of the game were sold, they know how much server/network capacity they need per user, they are Japanese (they can do math), why couldn't they buy the right amount of hardware to support the player population?

Bump. Not asking for much just a little more than "I'm sorry." You can only say sorry so many times...

I swear before that last 1017 my character gave me the finger.

This isn't a bash, the failed launch is bash enough, just my opinion. I don't think your going to see 1017 disappear until the September 9th deadline, for free to play, is up. Right now I think they're just play Devil's Advocate with the limitation on the servers and trying to bide time. I'm sure we'll see them apologize non-stop until the 9th and when half of the players don't subscribe they'll claim a fix and the players that stay will praise them for doing so. Until it happens again(Sound familiar....phase 4).

Bump.

I didn't read all the threads here but please, a server move would be nice if I I'm going to miss all evenings waiting on the login screen.

I have to be honest the game is awesome in every aspect, story, lore, gameplay, character and areas design, there's a lot of good stuff in this game but having log in issues is one of the worst bugs we could have, is very annoying not even get to be in queue, I wouldn't mind waiting in the queue if I knew that at certain point I would be able to enter.

SE needs to fix it really fast, there's a lot of people that is not too attached to the game yet, im a legacy player I can bare more than new players because I am already hooked with it, although there's a limit to everyone patience, don't test it too much...

... and they just closed more worlds to new character creation with no ETA on when there will be more servers added. If nothing else, their communications with the player base are a papasmurfing failure.

They're not going to add more servers. I think it's safe to say that hiding under the blankets until the big mean monsters go away is the name of the game here.

I wonder how much of our perception of communications failures and indifference is based on the language barrier? Perhaps they should have added some North American support staff before the launch.

Logged in earlier today and I had absolutely no problems. Get home tonight and I'm hit with 1017 error. Is this ever going to be resolved in a timely manner? There's absolutely no reason why on the day of the launch ANYONE and EVERYONE who has purchased this game can't log in. Please SE hear our cries and give us more then "We're sorry", the apologies are starting to be extremely repetative IMO. I'm not bashing the game, I in fact love this game, the character and world detail, the story, the gameplay, all of it. They knew going into lauch that the servers couldn't support the amount of players to be expected so why wasn't and why still hasn't something been done to fix these issues. At this point anything is better then the repetative "We're sorry" nonsense.

BUMP!

Back to guild wars 2 I go because at least there I can login without having an issue.
