If we had been, we'd be on a fixed server and going to the next quest. SE please notice that Japan is not the only country that plays this game.
We need fixes here too.
We all should have been Japanese

This is no longer an issue on EU servers. It's just NA servers.

THERE WAS NO FIX. It's just data center population! Why can people not accept this?? Aether is overpopulated. That's all. -
06-18-2017, 08:17 PMMistePrimal? Nope. Barely anyone getting past the MSQ instances on Primal either.Quote:

As for one thing that helped alleviate it somewhat, people lined up and didn't spam the NPC on the JP servers. Someone said they tried that on Balmung, but then it went back to chaos after people got impatient.
All the spam from hundreds or even thousands of players all spamming one NPC just makes it worse. -
06-18-2017, 08:22 PMIceman826That's not the solution. I shouldn't have to abandon all my friends to solve an issue SE should have been aware of and figured out 6 months ago.Quote:

Odin still gets busy and that is EU. In the evening it can take 3 hours just to log in, and the MSQ gate happens again. So not fixed as such, just depends on when the servers are less busy.
-
06-18-2017, 08:26 PMIceman826No. Fix the problem SE. I paid real money for this, and this un-tested, bugged game is what they give us. F that. Fix it.Quote:

It still will take some time for either congestion to die down a bit or for Squeenix to have some sort of workaround in place (be it a backup server or some other fix). I'm just leveling the new classes and trying to scrounge up enough money to buy a house now that I'm on a server that isn't overpopulated, hopefully something will go up today or tomorrow and the main story will be ready for the bulk of us stuck.Quote:

06-18-2017, 08:29 PMIceman826Again, they wont address this cause it isn't affecting JP servers. If it were it be fixed by now.Quote:

The lining up solution only works if everyone across the data center does it. If it's just one server, it's not going to help.
-
06-18-2017, 08:39 PMKaedanThat you chose to stay? Yeah. You even have the opportunity to move for free now. If you don't move, that's your choice to stay on a server that you know is the most overcrowded one.Quote:

For many the main part of the game's quality of life are the relationships they have with other players so just saying "Move" isn't the answer for a major technical screw up on SE's part. Likewise moving won't fix somethings like the MSQ bottlenecks and throttling as instances are datacenter wide.Quote:

I can only talk of my experience so far. I'm in ragnarok EU. The only thing I have experienced has been long queues, the longest taking 40m to get in, I believe on Friday evening prime time. Everything has worked for me so far, even being in raelghr reach and kugane with lotsssssss of players and still having 60fps which I have it locked. I feel for other players but my experience as a veteran mmo player with first days in wow, swtor and eso, I have to say has been positive. Nothing I wasn't expecting actually better

I'm really convinced that with "outrage" so high the devs may just say......
"Well you wont move but want this issue fixed. Physics is physics though. Working game or happy people? Well they aren't happy now..... move them."
And before you jump all over me saying it would never happen. They locked Bal and Greg against peoples wishes because again, physics is physics. Whats worse? A pissed off game or two pissed servers?
Edit: Clarity, I'm talking forced server population redistribution. -
06-18-2017, 11:04 PMKaedanIt will be a reality eventually, I imagine. SE was far too nice to allow server transfers to Balmung when it was already full.Quote:

Amen. Anyone thinking Japanese servers are the Holy Grail, free free to stop by Tonberry and sample our fine 4-5k queue times right now.

Redistributing the population here would split all the English speakers up over otherwise primary Japanese speaking servers and thus utterly defeat the point of our community in the first place. The more hardcore would likely just re-transfer back somewhere but I would guess the majory (myself included) would simply quit the game being unable to community with the majority of our fellow players.
In essence, this is SEs problem to fix, not ours. They knew the pre-order numbers, they knew the situation on popular servers and chose to do pretty much nothing whatsoever. Running around like a Chinese fire drill in clueless disarray after the fact is bad enough but days later we still have no word or any sign they are going to reinforce the server infrastructure, something they should have been doing long before SB's launch. -

I am glad I am still low level. By the time I get to the new content, things will be calmed down a lot
