Ever since I started gaming on FF14, I have been enthusiastic with the experience before me.
Now I feel my money, my time and my love of the game are not appreciated.
I play on Chaos - Cerberus I started off with a queue of 9 900 people then at 1700 something an error occurred. Now am back queuing at 8.061.
Having a compensation in terms of free play is nice and well but what I really want is to know what actions are taken about that. Cause what's the use if you can't even log on... Almost sounds like a joke...
Are we just waiting that people get tired and move on to another game?
Are new servers planned ?
Is any action planned to deal with that ?
I mean this is pre-release only...
See you in queue I guess...
An end to server congestion?

We will all get to enjoy happening again on the 7th when the REAL tidal wave happens, as all the people who didn't get early access will finally be able to play. The nightmare has only just begun.

You really don't understand the chip shortage do you?
Chip Shortage Costing Auto Industry Big Bucks
It's like people think the chip shortage is just made up. -

It'll probably get better in the next week or so. For now, best thing you can do is wake up fairly early and log on then. The queues are a lot more manageable at like 8am EST.

With cloud technology - This could easily have been scaled to some cloud servers to avoid the issue. Margins would be a little lower, but at least the customer base would be able to login.
Welcome to 2021... -
12-06-2021, 05:05 AMWolfendragoonAhh yes, because cloud servers magically do not need hardware to run, so the chip shortage means nothing if you move to a cloud service.Quote:

Because it's also super-easy to take code from 2010 that wasn't intended to run on AWS or Azure and slap it on there.

I think I vaguely remember seeing Yoshi-P comment at some point that they actually spent some time trying to use cloud servers and it didn't work. Still something worth looking into for the future, but that ship has sailed for Endwalker unfortunatelyQuote:

Can only hope SE learn from this and see the need of expanding EU DC.
However, I am not optimistic any significant improvment to EU DC 2002/queue time issue as other have mention the semiconductor shortage -

But yes of course. You know what you're talking about.

As right now the only "solutions" is to log in at less congested time, but that is impossible for some people as job or school gets in the way...

12-06-2021, 12:35 PMagbear9Which all takes time, money, and hardware on the hardware to do. What you think that can all be done over night in one shot?Quote:
