I gotta say this was a smoooooth launch. I've been logged in for nearly 17 hours and didn't get disconnected once.
Back in the BC and WotLK days we would be getting DC'd every couple hours.
Good work!
Stable Servers!

12-04-2021, 03:31 PMMsQiThat is probably a result of them scheduling 24 hour maintenances to begin with, which I must commend them for. Wow would be all "let's do an 8 hour maintenance" for an expansion and then bring it up and see what happens, oops a server died. back down for two hours and try again. I'm assuming SE does more checks and tests during that time? The couple times I've been in it seemed pretty good. However when you get a long queue you're likely to get kicked.Quote:

Yeah once in hit a few bits of server lag for like a split second or two but considering the strain servers are under I'll take my two second blips I had while playing

12-04-2021, 04:29 PMMyranyI was there for both BC and WotLK launches. You are being generous. I remember crashing out every 10-15 minutes and kneeling to collect loot from a mob so long it respawned and kicked my butt while I was helpless because I couldn't move. LOLQuote:

yeah, those were bad.
once in everything seems very stable, have not had any issues yet playing. which is a very nice change from a majority of launches -

Login queues aside, at least the servers are fairly stable. It would suck to have to wait in line to get on for 2 hours only to get d/c'd by something outside of your control lol.

It's definitely improved over time, too. Might be remembering wrong, but I'm sure we had our own share of servers dying left and right on previous expansions.
Back in the day, we could always count on Balmung players to make all the same complaints about long queues and crashes. -

Great!!! Stable when you log in, but that takes hours if you're lucky... looks like I can only hope to get in after 12am or so my time. I just spent 10 hours with up to 6.5K in the queue which as bad as that was then the 2002 errors kicked in every 1-2 hours & would reset the whole process. This is just early access so just wait till oh I don't know a few million extra people try to log in another day from now.

Early access launch day is always the rockiest. These doom-n-gloom posts are a perennial thing every expansion. -

So you think the WoW exodus & the lack of servers they could've bought before covid hit won't affect the state of the game? I mean more people than ever in the recorded history of the game are trying to log in right now, but there hasn't been a new server added since 2019. The supply chain issue didn't happen overnight so don't tell me SE couldn't have swiped some up asap especially since they knew more money was heading their way via more people being stuck at home & their new expansion being only a year away. It's not they have BILLIONS of dollars or anything.

I would say the majority of people who bought endwalker got the pre order version which... came with the early access key. I doubt server stabilty will be any worse than now, which seem pretty stable.
the issue is the login server, which seems to be an issue in most game launches -

"Good News" it looks like you can log in sometime around 2-3 am or so CST... "Bad News" if you work you're probably asleep... "Great News" you most likely won't be able to log in when you get home... "Worse News" you have to sleep before you go back to work... "Excellent News" you have to do hard drugs if you want to play this game any time soon!!!

It's not a server login problem it's a there's not enough room for people to login in the first place problem. Even if there wasn't the 2002 issue having up to a 7,000 people line ahead of you during any reasonable hour which is a 2-3 hour wait isn't going to change much if the server is full & staying that way.

People that claim this is a successful launch are just ignorant to the actual issues that exist. That is sadly a major issue with the FF community is every one white knights over this game and ignore actually issues that should be address. Shadowbringers was actually the most successful launch so far, no server issues, queues were reasonably 30min - 1hr, and no getting booted from the queue due to a poorly implemented fail safe. I would say this has actually been the worst expansion launch FFXIV has had and yes I believe it is worst then Raubahn as at least you could actually get into the game.

How's that? Can't say I've seen any queues go up from all the millions of players that jumped in on official launch day.
