:::Petition:: Removal of 1017 and Reinstatement of Global Queue System

Actually i do not think the problem is that they WANT to use the 1017 instead of a queue. The queue does still exist.
I think its a problem with either logon or lobbyserver, why they cant place everyone in queues.
If they go down, noone can log on...
Still a greater queue would be awesome.

I guess this game isnt meant for the working class. I was able to get on Saturday night and havent since then. Shame on me for not being home 24/7 so I can play a video game huh.

Re-enabling the queue will, as we've clearly seen, cause instability and crashes. A "working queue system" is irrelevant if your infrastructure can't handle the amount of requests coming in at any given time - the only solution is to treat it like a surge protector; on one second, off the next. This is obviously oversimplification and conjecture on my part, but it's the only logical conclusion I can come up with at the moment.

Also, don't get me wrong, nobody is impressed with SE's lack of communication and constant apologetic demeanor. I'm certainly not trying to make excuses for them, just trying to give a rational explanation for their decisions, seeing as how they're not doing it themselves.

We can sit on their forums and rage until pigs fly, but in the end this game kicks ass, we all want to play it and we will - regardless of our threats, however empty they may or may not be :)

This error stuff has been hard; but look at this video. It made me laugh.

Here's an image that accurately sums up SE's response to this predicament!

/signed I want to switch my character to Couerl.

/Signed

so tired of having to fight for a spot on my server just to be able to play for a couple hours a night simply because I lose out on an hour+ just trying to get into my server.

/signed

This is the only MMO I've played that doesn't have a queue for a full server. And caps for the queues themselves is just stupid. I've played games where the queues have been 3000+ people. Yeah, I didn't get on right away, but I knew that I was going to get on eventually not be locked out for three quarters of the day.

/Signed

they should have left it as unlimited queue numbers anyways, people will spend hours (as we've already heard from the forums base) trying to login regardless, atleast THIS way, people GET to play.

The queuing system HAS NOT GONE!

Last night I twice got into the queue, at one time I was 51 then suddenly logged in. Yes, most of the time I was getting 1017 but the queue system is still there, SE haven't explained when you get queued and when you get dumped with a 1017.

/signed 10char
They need to make the que system longer even if im in a que of 1000 i wanna see it. not this error >.>

The queue system is still there, but the error 1017 rank first, thats the reason why you almost never see the queue.
The error 1017 should be gone after they add more worlds next week (@ least i hope it ^^)

Lol petition, you kids are so darling

First of all, I'd like to point out that the queue has not disappeared completely, it's just lost behind the error at most occurrences. Second, I believe at least 3 more of my FC members agree with me that the error should be completely removed so the queue is completely in control. So, for complete control for the queue system...

Whatever the argument you guys post or try to make clear of.

The queue is in the game. The queue just can't handle the load. They need more than a queue, they need a petition!

I'm all for a single queue system, no 1017! I'd rather wait an hour than getting told to try again later. Therefore:

/signed

There should be an auto-logout system for players who afk for an hour or so.

Then queue system would work out well.

/signed

People who standing in the town doing nothing for hours starting to pissed me off

World is full... /signed

This is a terrible solution, even if temporary, until NEXT WEEK??? Many players are being greatly inconvenienced by this, especially those that have been loyal since v1.0. I would gladly move to another, less populated server however, there are no server transfers yet.

Meanwhile, this temporary fix is causing players to remain logged in, AFK, for extended periods of time keeping the world full of players who aren't actually playing so they can come back and play right away. This needs to be fixed, and really never should have happened in the first place.

/signed

I am in utter shock that this has not been implemented at least as a temporary fix. I have been locked out and unable to play with my legacy character since EA and have gotten to the point where I have just given up and will attempt to play after they put a system in place, but not everyone will feel this way. I understand that Squarenix was shocked at the amount of people attempting to play the game but the longer this goes on for the more people they will lose because of this.

I would much rather a queue then a "World is Full" message when I'm trying frantically to get back in after getting 9000'd out of a dungeon.

I was disconnected due to error 90000 an hour ago(due to the technical difficulties that happened according to their news update) and have been unable to connect since because of 1017. I would gladly wait in a hour long queue just so I don't have to sit here clicking repeatedly hoping it might work.

Kinda feels like I'm playing a slot machine and I'm waiting for a jackpot but I keep losing.

Edit: took an hour and a half of repeated(automated) keypresses to finally enter the queue and subsequently the world.

I don't know why they stopped the login que in the first place...

Actually it is pretty random, after so many tries finally got the que.... wtf.

NVM, I got the server full please try again at spot 20 in the queue..... this is retarded.

While i agree its not hard to wait it out another 5-6 days for the new server base, You cant expect even after adding a couple servers that its going to resolve all issues with logging in, continuing the global queue will just further help mitigate but allow fair gameplay.

I was # 289 in queue so thats incorrect.

Our characters have the same first names lolol :P <3

I agree I can only play at night and haven't been able to play during the day since beta 3, missed out on most of head start. I would rather queue for hours! I can cook food, watch TV , go out, go shopping etc etc.

By the way, well done SE Best MMO I have played in years! <3

/signed /10chars

What is the point of this error even? There is a queue system in place. Are the servers so bogged down that the queue servers are too full? I keep getting into the queue after fighting the error, only to get the error again after I move through the queue...

Edit: I have canceled my subscription until such time as this error no longer exists. Not being able to get into a queue even when I want to play makes no sense and I will not pay for a service I cannot use when I wish to.

Wanted to bump this thread to keep it active and available for players to see. Keep the posts going guys and the signatures rollin!

I'm against the que system. 1017 weeds out the lazy people so I have a better chance to get in.

I just want to play the game...

/signed

This. As it goes now if I cant play the game in a weeks time, square gets a chargeback from me. This is not acceptable at all. I don't want to hear the "they didn't expect the server traffic" excuse either. I've had acesss to this game for about a week now and have only been able to play 5-6 hours total. The only time I'm able to play this game is about 10pm or later when everyone seems to log out, maybe. Leave a queue system in place and start booting people that are afk so people can actually play this game.

/signed

Please just extend the depth of the queue...

Also autokick idle players! 1 hour AFK should be plenty!!
