Emergency maint

Can we please have an emergency maintenance to fix these issues with best served with cold steel. This is rediculous we can't get any dungeons unlocked or get to new zones because you lock them behind msq please fix this instance

better to take it down than leave it sit here broken boiling the blood of your playerbase

Samurai as well :(

It's not broken but there is an instance limit.

They need to do something so we can get the msq done

Agreed they need to do something about it, but I get a feeling they feel like they've fixed the problem.

because you know waiting hours for a single story quest is totally fixed and normal ^_^;;;

Instance limit ? limit 5000 ppl per server on the same instance ? SE kidding us or what ?

This is a joke and it's not first time it happens. At this point there are no excuses.
They knew very well how many people had Early Access and that all of them would line up for duties.
And like I said it's not first time this happens.
Fix it asap.

SE tends to ostrich a lot too. Any other MMO would've taken the servers down by now.

Signed. Fix this SE. FFS

I think the main question first is: Are you all lining up in a nice orderly line to queue for content 1 by 1 or are you all button mashing the poor instance like a bunch of hungry hamsters? I remember back in 1.0 and I think even 2.0 launch where people figured out they could avoid crashing the server if they made a nice orderly queue line for the instance lol.

Been trying to get into the MSQ instance since 20min after launch. Haven't managed to win the lotto to get in. Too bad the devs wouldn't consider making a q for it... I got bad luck haha.

Do what it is one of those designs that players will have to suffer through until it fixes itself.

See this comment SE gets a pass. Enough people like this around to allow a company to think they can create 1.0 and 13 and get away with it. Not hey it probably can't be fixed they should know better. Hey you guys should just stop and let SE off the hook shame on you.

there's almost nothing else worthwhile to do besides level the two new jobs to 60 and not everybody wants to do that, everything worthwhile is locked behind the MSQ.

If S-E is going to do an emergency maint, it will be rather soon. Multiple FC/Discord peeps are rubberbanding all over the place now.

Have they ever turned an instance quest into a duty. You are giving then way to much credit that they can actually do that in any sort of timeframe.

here a question thought they just closed down the PS3 servers and still cant handle the lag and DC'S

We're lined up. The line moves along the bridge. People get to where they can reach Raubhan. The spamming begins.

I'm not saying they will but since it is a duty and utilizes the same servers it should be possible

I get it would be awesome and sounds simple. I just mean no past leads me to believe that it isn't that simple. Would probably be easier to pay a GM to flag done over and over. Since we know they can flag quests done.

This does absolutely nothing when you have other worlds in your server group all vying for the same spots. it's a placebo.

Not to mention it also shares those servers with the instanced job quests. But they must have capped out the MSQ to open up the instance job quests since those are doable now.

I can imagine the SE main office discussion:
"Hey gais, how many do ya think will be online to play the new content as soon as we launch it?"
"Uh, well, I think... we sold 23 million copies of pre-orders. So, I'd guess that many."
"What?! No way dude! I expect maybe MAX we'll see 200,000 people online. Let's just plan for that and act surprised when we're wrong. Again."
"All in favor?"
"Aye! Aye! Aye!"

What's the point of playing stormblood if you can't advance the main story! Haha! :(

Just was kicked from server

I think Hyperion may have died

hmm i think SE need to buy some new server's sucks when your half way though a dungeon only to be kicked and come back to a 512 world que

On Hyperion, we formed a line as we were instructed by SE in order to fix this problem. I, like others, stood for hours as people DC'd or left, until we got to the front of the line where, surprise surprise, people were not waiting in line, and instead standing in a crowd mass clicking the quest, therefore ensuring that no one will get in. I have finished literally everything new in the game, including the aether currents that I can reach. It's now 3:47pm Central time, so the game has been live for almost 12 hours. And this quest has been broken for 12 hours.
Why.
Don't tell me to go level, or do other things. I paid to play Stormblood, not play old content because Stormblood is broken.
Also, the interface on PS4 is either too small or too big, and that's annoying.

The PS4 interface problem is already being addressed, according to SE's Twitter. That's more than we can say about the broken MSQ.

They just posted another apology about the broken msq but honwstly I don't want an apology I want to see them at least try to fix it somehow

What, do you want a video camera live on youtube of them typing away at their desks?

They ARE working on it.

Proof? Companies never say they are working on it and not actually working on it. They literally just have to say "It took us a few days to find a fix and test the server before we brought it up live." Keep enabling SE maybe we will get more 1.0 and 13s later.

Also while you are at it thank the lore gating of zones that limit the play options. Because you have never supported that design choice either.

It kind of does look like they're working on it though, they just don't have any updates for us with that.

"We understand that this unfairly places the burden on our players, but we require more time until the issue can be resolved. We continue to work on measures to address this issue and will follow up once we have an update."

Actually, it is a much better response than before. I've had to troubleshoot software problems and if you're not getting a massive obvious error message, it CAN sometimes take a while to tease out the problem. In this case, there may not even be a bug, it may simply be that they have to create some kind of lobby server to handle solo duties, since they have no queue system for it at all right now.

They should really stop calling this early access and start calling it open beta. It was the same for heavensward unplayable until early access is over. Oh you get disconnected? here is a 3 hour queue, but here's something you'll really like. We created a bottleneck in the MSQ just for you, because we know you like that!
Reminds me of wow and their garrison quest other game exact same issue; developers not thinking/ preparing what will happen when there are a lot of players trying to get into the same instance.
It can't be that hard to temporarily increase the instance/ login server capacity when you release a big expansion for a big game!
