Dem Monday night Coils.

God damn it SE, I'm tired of this shit, fix them damn servers.

Twintania uses Mass-Disconnect. It was super effective!

The [Recovery] messages on Lodestone are pretty sad on Mondays. Primal is always hosed. Might get better after the mass exodus to other data centers in March.

Do Coil on another day. You know as well as everyone else...everyone does Coil/CT/WhateverInstancedContent on Monday.

Just a little baffling to me about six months after launch, we still have these issues. Either retention is incredibly good, or quality control can probably afford to work a bit harder.

Or.......ya know......maybe they could make it to where the servers can handle the load on mondays. Or maybe spread out the resets times, like coil mondays, CT Wednesdays, Primal EX Friday, etc.

But ya your idea of not playing a game we are paying a sub for once a week because the servers cant handle it is probably the better idea.

Please tell me you work in server management or networking. I'd love to hear you answer to how to successfully over pay for architecture.

Honesty, this issue is they have a network that can handle constant load, but the spike load isn't very easily managed. And the last thing you do is build a network around your spike. You just trying to manage it as best as possible. And well if they stagger the resets on things that would help a lot.

how is se to know when their hamsters running the servers are going to be sick? what do you expect them to do? upgrade to people?

Fine, just complain to a group of random anonymous people because that totally gets things changed. If it bothers a group so much change your play time. Move on, enjoy your server free crashes.

BLAME CANADA!

I think if there were more to do, people wouldn't all jump on the server and give it a noogie when the resets come? :P

This could be fixed with a server upgrade (which is kind of moot because it would only use the extra bandwidth mondays) or maybe just having more to do.

It's not just coil - It's pretty much everything.

I wish there was a lot more to do,but once you hit 50 there are like....four options: craft, dungeons, pvp or level a new job, in between those there is no filler, nothing "else" to do.

It got so bad that the Coil NPC is loading Japanese character when you talk to it lol.

the problem is doing something once a week and then locking you out of it for the rest of the week. that means on mondays and tuesdays you will get in the better quality parties because by late in the week you are left with whatever couldn't complete it during the week.

100% drop rate with a 1 time a week lockout(all on the same day) on all endgame content atm is the reason this is continuing to happen.

I disagree - usually Monday and Tuesdays bring out the worse in people. Those last minute progression parties always get it done. /Got sixth monk wep on Sunday at 11:00 pmish.

on excalibur it's been the opposite. usually monday i can get 1-4 done easily. last week i had pc issues and didn't have a pc until thursday. it took friday, sat, and sun to get the same turns done i usually get done in 1 day.
