3102 after computer failure

For a few days now i've had a computer failure issue (overheating GPU, power failure during storm) while in the middle of playing FFXIV. These incidents are usually only once a day and are pretty random and can't really be solved by SE.

Upon trying to log back into the game after a quick recovery (<1 minute) I get the error of 3102, that my character is still in the process of logging out. This error persists for a few minutes and then clears up, with my character being logged out.

Shouldn't I be able to just reconnect to my character and resume playing instead of waiting out the 3102 error and then thrown back to the furious gauntlet of 1017? (and also the 'unable to update EU/NA world list error', that's resurfaced just now)
