In prepping for the housing war There is many "What ifs" running through my mind and being stuck on Balmung..sadly i'm sure all of these will happen as you can see people are already stationing themselves hours before the maintenance even starts:

Picture this scenario:
you'll do everything, get a queue of 120, get excited cause you''ll be one of the first 600 in who get a house, then BAM "instance is full" and the game exits, you log back in and you're 4,521 in queue
I remember when SB was launched once they fixed the Rahaban (or whatever his name is) gate. On my server you had to constantly keep trying to enter rhalgr's reach because SO many people were zoned in and it would just kick you out. I heard the new raids quests NPC will also be in Kugane. Could this happen?
Is it better to hang out in ward 1 then just port immediately to a different ward once you log in? Or if i log out in Kugane i should be fine in logging back in by the big shard?
Is there a chance of Kugane becoming a "instance is full?"

Wow.. this pic really solidifies my decision of logging out at the Aetheryte instead of mobbing the poor ferry dude. I wouldn't even be able to click on him in that mess. I wish anyone on Balmung/Gilgamesh luck... its gonna be a bloodbath.
As far as instance full errors.. I doubt it. I'm more concerned about 90k/lobby errors. -

There are 100s of people already camping ward 1 on Balmung.
I fully expect it to be a disaster like stormblood launch.
The thing that makes it worse is there are people using bots to spam-login faster than people can refresh and click. So they will prob be the ones getting in first.
Most people will prob spend the morning in long queues
It's just another reason why this system is somewhat unfair to people who don't break rules.
They should have opened up all wards prior the patch. -

10-10-2017, 04:47 AMRayneLittlewinkleYes, they could of taken this time to add another 12 wards. but this is coming from a company who JUST now will make it able for your chocobo and minion to be summoned at the same time.. D: I honestly wish I knew what they were thinking. I imagine even the JP servers might be begging for more wardsQuote:

As a Gilgamesh player, I'm fully prepared for a queue in the morning. It just makes me glad I am one of those that does not need or want one of the new houses. And I feel really bad for someone who legit wants one and has to contend with the cheating and BS that is going to be everywhere. My fellow guildmaster lucked out back in the day and got one when they added more houses to the old districts, dealing with the same nonsense. So I wish best of luck to all you legit people out there.

Judging by the pictures, there's more people there than there will be houses. Good luck to everyone involved...it's not even prime time yet, so this number will increase without a doubt. I wouldn't be surprised if Shirogane itself crashed after maintenance.

It's possible but considering people are probably going straight to the wards and leaving Kugane as fast as possible it probably won't be full for long.
Been through this a couple times already. Last time I couldn't even login to the game (just lobby errors that close your game for some reason and have to login again from launcher slowing you down) since every one playing the game goes through the same login servers and it just kept giving lobby errors. If you want a house just hope you get through before the tidal wave of people try to login because you might just get locked out of logging in for 15-30 minutes.
Wish they could think of another way to do this so it isn't Black Friday trip people to get ahead type stuff that goes down. -
10-10-2017, 06:05 AMRayneLittlewinkleYeah... By the time its a hour before the servers come down I can't imagine how Kugane will be. I think i will take my chances with it though.Quote:

I fully expect Kugane to be full just like how Rhalgr's Reach was full in Early Access. There's gonna be blood...

10-10-2017, 06:55 AMRayneLittlewinkleHugs @ Rozeluxe :) and Yes.. blame me for being a worry wart. lol but this have crossed my mind. Oh well guess we can only hope for the best.Quote:

Lol, just last night I already noticed that people were hanging around the aetheryte and ferry docks, then I logged in this morning to see the numbers double up. I'll hang around where there's the least people.
I'm trying to get a small house of my own in Shirogane if I could but being on Balmung, there's a high chance I couldn't. It's probably better for me to get a house in the original 3 housing areas though. -

Tried switching characters and Balmung already has a world queue up. Its gonna be a fun morning ;)
-
10-10-2017, 08:11 AMPentheaI'm honestly expecting Kugane to be a lag fest. Bracing myself for the posts of players complaining they missed their chance for a house because of dcs and lag.Quote:

10-10-2017, 08:17 AMMoonliteYeah not sure what cheat/hack/luck some people have. But their was reports of some people being able to log an alt in and get a second house while people couldn't get the login lobby to stabilize enough to let them in.Quote:

Someone was claiming via shouts that if you log out in Shirogane that during maintenance those people would be relocated to the pier in Kugane. Does anyone know if this is true? They claimed it was in the patch notes but I don't see it.
-
10-10-2017, 11:35 AMRayneLittlewinkleReally? I get off work a hour before maintenance I might just... Play something else. To keep myself from getting so disgusted with how SE decided to do the housing ( when they had a clean slate with Shirogane)Quote:

I also read elsewhere that when the last housing updates went live, people were logged out from Ward 1.
But there are so many camping Ward 1 anyway. I think it would be better to log in at the crystal or pier and then choose the ward from the list you want to go to.
