Well THAT was a rollercoaster of emotions!
Long loading screen (good sign), then lobby server issues... crap... then I got in a queue! 404th sweet!... then unable to obtain world data... now back to error 1017 yay...
Games been in development longer than almost any mmo considering its been released, pulled down due to countless bugs and bad design, then re released. It has had an extensive beta period. These problems should not be cropping up now, and not to this severity. I have played every MMO since EQ and cant remember a launch as bad as this one (WoW was comparable, however that was nearly a decade ago. I would hope testing/technical prowess of the server staff to be better than what blizzard had in the early 90's).
Frankly to me, its just the bad communication. Whats the issue, when will it be fixed, and whats being done. Simple stuff, but very much lacking.
It is my opinion that if you bought this game on the advertisement that you could access the game early, you're not getting what you paid for.
I made the choice to overdraw my account just to play Early Access. Instead, I not playing due to No Access.
I chose to pay based on the following; "you will be granted access to play".
TL;DR
People purchasing FF14 ARR on the premise of EA aren't getting access what they paid for.
Well, I restarted the game and when I tried to log back in, I got the 90000 boot. Then I reloaded again and got a queue to the server, position 328. Then about 30 seconds later, I'm in the game after 4.5 hours of trying.
90000 error I wait through all the cut scenes of a new character after waiting 3 hours for game play and you kick me out at the end of the first story sequence WOW I CANT BELIEVE IT ABSOLUTLY TERRRRRRRRIBBBBLEEEEEEE HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO KEEP CUSTOMERS IF YOU CAN'T GET 5 MINUTES OF GAME PLAY???!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
I finally get into the server of a half hour of server is full error but when I left Ul'dah I got 90K error. Closed the game down and tried to reload my toon to start playing again. Nope error 10102 Connection to the server is lost. Cant seem to shake it.
Got disconnected yesterday in between location change, since then haven't been able to log in again. Last status:
1. World full try again later (not even a queue??!)
2. When finally am able to start to play, the Loading starts and then I get the message connection to server lost
Yet they post that the maintenance is finished and the issues have been solved.
So far for early access... Hope they get this sorted out asap. Or will things just get worse when the game actually launches? Even more players then...
So it seems like the entirety of login is fubared. So many errors popping up and its a new one every time I restart the client Lol. I got a 2002 error trying to log in. Now I can't connect to the NA/EU servers... etc. Joy.
After 2 hours of error msg's finally got in, only to be kicked out again 10 mins later this is just sad....
"3 days of early access"? it's more like 6hours of questing and you cant use duty finder or instances.....sounds awfully like a beta and not ready for release on the 27th.
World: Behemoth
Character: Caucel Wiedii
Welp got the loading screen for 3 minutes (opposed to the normal 10 secondish) then an error. Awesome..
SE can Blizzard host your game maybe?
The game kept bringing me to the moogle loading screen then it would 1017 error on my :< Way to bring my hopes up. /cry
Was locked out of my server all yesterday, was able to get in this morning to make my character so I was quite happy. Been leveling her and during an attempt to queue a quest dialog, it glitched my character. Couldn't do any actions or move so I had to force close. Go to log back in, tells me they can't find any servers, quit, try again, everything is going great, puts me in queue (was like 278 no big deal).... errors out. Try again to log back in.... Server is full 1017. And that's how it's been going ever since.
World: Excalibur
Character: Zoet Velo
Just give us queues... I don't care if it says 1000+ people ahead of me... at least give me the option to wait it out.
Uhh did we just break the JP servers too? I'm getting the can't populate server error again.. this with JP servers
I hope we do break the JP servers, I feel like a damn second rate citizen here.
"This world is currently full. Please wait untill and opening is available and try again. 1017" How exactly is one suppose to even know when there is an opening so that they can try again when there is no queue? Even when I do get a queue, I'm in queue for all of 10 seconds before I get booted with the above error again. I try to log in over and over again getting the same error over and over again. Then, I click on "start" one more time only to find out that I am unable to "update the group NA/EU character list" or I am disconnected from the lobby server or when I do manage to get through all the bullcrap, and actually start loading, I get "connection to server was lost"
No word whatsoever from SE since the last maintenance about these issues which they say they fixed.
Do I have unreasonable expectations? I think not. I paid for 3 copies of the game, 2 for my friends and 1 for myself so I can get early access. I already have a 1.0 account. As of right now, I and my 2 other accounts have been able to play the game for all of about 3 hours in the last 36 because of login issues, maintenance issues or whatever. This is unacceptable. I am a paying customer who is not receiving the service that I paid for.
I can handle minor glitches but game breaking ones such as NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY and glitches that prevent any sort of character advancement are definately inexcusable. FIX THIS ASAP and give UPDATES!
Cant everyone create characters on japanese servers too? just to break them as well, so they might fix this problem once and for all....
And tbh. this is exactly the same problem v1 had when it launched, the only reason it solved itself was because people stopped playing altogether. Don't expect a fix, SquareEnix does not even know whats wrong/how to fix it.
World: Shiva - 1017 for straight up HOURS.
This is in NO FUCKING WAY even slightly acceptable.
The game is released, we payed for early access and do not recieve it.
Yes, players are pissed, with good reason to be so.
All of this could've been prevented if beta testing was done right.
But nooo they give a shit about the TERRIBLE feedback of phase 4 and rush it to launch.
Doing everything I can to break teh jp servers. making tons of cchars
The reason people are mad, rather than merely irritated, is that 1017 is absolutely, positively, worse than a queue. I have been in queues of 2000 players, and minded less. You know why?
With a queue I can guess at how long it will be. With the 1017 error, I have absolutely no way to make an informed decision. You should never, ever, not in a million years, just abort. Get the user in a queue. Let them know how long it is. Let them decide whether they want to wait. Otherwise, you are pushing them to spam login and be frustrated that you told them to wait for an opening but gave them no way to do so.

Apparently what most of you dont realize is that there WAS a queuing process ... at least there was before the maintenance that went from 08 00 GMT to 11 00 GMT (which is when I chose to go to bed)
I've been having this problem since 11 AM today. Diabolos.
Funny thing is I could create a new character on Siren.
Anyone able to get on Diabolos during that time?
well, same here. Their US/EU server must be on Windows Server 2012...:rolleyes:
The part that is killing this for me is just this sort of snowball effect that starts when I get my hopes up.
I was terribly excited for the initial 14 beta and release of 1.0. And all of these instability issues were there with random disconnects and crashes.
Now, I was terribly excited to play during Post Beta Early Access. And now at first I couldn't log in. Then I couldn't actually progress in any story content because the instance servers were having trouble. Then I'd get disconnected and be unable to log back in. Its fine when there is a queue, but telling me to try again later just makes me spam the log in, congesting the character server, until I get a queue. I put time aside from my packed schedule and work to make sure I could experience this 'early access.' I feel I had put my hopes too high and this game wasted far too much of my time.
OH we realize it. That's part of the reason we're so angry.... they had a queuing system, but they capped the QUEUE, thus adding insult to injury. So, you have to spam login attempts to try and get into the login queue, where you sit and wait. Yeah, who's brilliant idea was that?
Yes and you go into that queue as well eventually but you need to hammer through the 1017 error repeatedly before that happens.
Same issue on Leviathan. Why is there no queue?
FIX ULTROS PLEASE GOD
nothing like head start beta :P
yeah getting hit with 1017 as well.
I like when the queue pops with 500 people in front of you. Then when it is down to 10 you get error 1017 world full and you get booted from the queue. Immediately try to log again and you are in the queue with 500 people in front of you.
Aaaaaand its full again.
Why the f*ck it can't stay in the queue? Why I have to spam Start -> select character -> log in -> world full -> back at the start screen. Why can't it just wait until that f*cking OPENING IS AVAILABLE?!
--edit: Looking For Login bot, can anyone make one? :P
same issue here and I've been locked out for 5 hours. I mean login restrictions for 2hours I can understand but a whole 5 hours what gives
Still waiting, had almost every error now.
Lobby server down 2002
World full 1017
Connection error
Been 3 hours now. This is the worst I have ever seen without any backing information. One post to say there is log in problems on the following worlds is not information, I already know this. Tell me something to do with what your fixing and how long it's going to take so I don't have to wear out the battery on my token logging in every few minutes due to you kicking me out of the lobby server.
I did manage to log in for about 5 minutes, thanks for that glint of hope that I might get to play on my only day off but no thanks for the connection error as soon as I zoned because now I am just logged out in a non sanctuary area.
Information on if you are going to bother fixing this in the next 6 hours or should I just give up and do something else would greatly be appreciated.
Yeah I try to stay patient with this stuff, but this is bullshit. This needs to be fixed pronto.
They just announced "several worlds login difficulties"
It would seem SE's solution to people having trouble logging in is to.. make it even harder to log in.
Go figure.
I will say, please may we have a queue system back,..... I much rather start a queue.... and you know... make food, drink..... play other games like xillia while waiting to get on rather than hitting start every 10 mins to get online
