Sorry to moan here but I want to know if anything is being done to address the amount of time we the players have to wait to play the game. Currently I am waiting between three - four hours per day to play the early access and honestly? It's pushing me to my limit of coping. I get that there is a mass influx of players wanting to play but to have to wait 90 - 120 minutes each time I've been disconnected is honestly well not fun. I wish there was a grace period for relogging but right now this is honestly spoiling the storm blood experience for me.

Sounds like your server has more issues then balmung only took me 40 minutes to get into the server and that was during prime time hours.

06-18-2017, 02:41 AMEdanaHonestly it is awful and I feel bad for those who DC in an instance and can't log back on due to queues. It's a shame there is no grace period to relog if you disconnect and try to reconnect within a certain time frame.Quote:

Nothing. They expect players to transfer and that is all apparently.

06-18-2017, 02:53 AMEdanaIf I didn't love my FC and have the friends I do on Odin I would have been tempted to transfer but honestly giving the EU data centre one new server isn't exactly going to solve the situation either.Quote:

They have done things...
Including turning the afk kick again.
The game kicks people off the server if they're afk for a half hour. -
06-18-2017, 03:37 AMEdanaI would gladly wait another 12 hours for that in a heart beat.Quote:

the queue times are much better today.

06-18-2017, 03:42 AMKuwagamimy 5 hours wait to relog after a quest bug forcing me to crash the client would lead me to think that kicking afk players doesn't do anything in regard to congestion.Quote:

With regards to the kicking after 30 mins afk you can as I say easily get around that. After all the game can only kick you if it registers you as afk but if you were to say have you character constantly moving or engaged in looking at something with an option menu then it can't register you as AFK and thus lies a problem - kicking people who go afk for 30 minutes just doesn't work when the number being kicked is less than the number trying to get in.

Half an hour later and it is still at 2765.... -
06-18-2017, 05:09 AMLambdafishThis was my plan, "I can't do content because the server is too congested? Guess I'll log off and do it later"Quote:

I agree with your sentiment about selfish entitled players, the community needs to collectively grow up and get a grip, a stable expansion launch is stressful enough for the devs as it is, let alone the community screaming about the problems that the devs are already running around trying to deal with -

Early Access = Hardware Tester ^^

So far nothing is being done. Lost connection in a dungeon 3 times today and every time i had a 3000 ppl+ queue. If this continues I'll just have to stop playing until SE fixes their stuff.
They could at least let you back in a duty if you have been kicked from the server while in a duty.
So today i spend over 10 hours in queue what a great experience this expansion has been so far.
They should stop calling it a early access and start calling it for what it is. A server stress test! -

06-18-2017, 06:15 AMSlaine_FrayThis is my life for the next month, I'm working 12hour shifts until mid July, by the time I get home and sit in a 3000 + queue every night for 3 hours it's time to call it for the night.Quote:
