Play something else while you wait for queues?

Yeah I'm playing on Playstation, so that is out of the question.

So what your really saying Mr or Ms positivity is I should use my gaming platform for something more worthy of my time? .

Your just admitting then that this launch is a failure. In that case maybe you could outline how I can my money back to spend on another game instead.

I mean not really unless you literally only play games on your playstation.

I played TFT on my phone while sitting in queues (I also play on Playstation.)

The Launch is not a Failure......Plenty of people have been able to play the game and have even beaten the MSQ already and LOVE the Story.
Some people have to sit through a long wait line but eventually get to play (such as myself)
And then there are some who unfortunately cant play till things wind down abit more towards the end of the month, but will get to play.
Not a Failure in the Slightest. Botched, scuffed maybe...but not a Failure.

Heres an idea though....while you wait your turn in line, go do something. Clean, make a snack/cook, take care of homework or housework. You have a computer or smartphone on the side? Watch some youtube and stuff.
There is lots you can do on the side while you can wait for the que.

Probably a bit of a case of mixed community messaging. People say "Go play something else" because usually that is an option for Playstation and PC players (either via tabbing out for PC players or picking up something else like a laptop or switch for playstation players). Obviously in your case that wouldn't apply, but people dont have a good grasp of everyone's individual circumstances and sort of just respond as if someone were in their own circumstances.

As to whether the launch was a failure or not- I think it was messy and I think Square do as well given the response. I dont have any advice on refunds since I know nothing about the refund policies of square but I hope either the queues get quicker for you or you get your money back

You can go outside and play some ball.

all these things you are suggesting are a given for any adult, you think anyone doesn't do those things anyway? I have my shit together and my house in order.

Also you do know it's take anywhere between 4-8 hours to even get into this game right?

Did you just make up an imaginary adversary and have an argument with them on a public forum?

The launch wasnt a success either imo. Else they wouldnt handout compensation.
They got the message and they'll try every method to get more superconductors. But due to shortage - there wont be a change anytime soon.

All we can do is wait for the on/off players to finish the story, leveling, etc. til the unsub-phase kicks in.

Call your friend, read a book, read a comic book, draw a picture, tidy ur room, clean the house, watch a TV show you could even watch a anime. Hey you go I have given you loads of options for you to do as you wait in the queue or even play a game on ur PC.

Consider a placement term for every person trying to refute every valid complaint about this game and it's company.

So You watched more than one TV show or anime or even binged watch a series that you have had the time to watch or played a game on ur PC? I feel like ur over reacting a tiny a bit no offence I'm stuck in a queue and as I wait I'm gonna see what game I can download on Steam for my PC or just rewatch Kobra Kai since season 4 comes out this month in a few weeks and its an amazing series. The fight scenes alone are just fantastic to watch.

with your attitude and obvious love for the game... why are you here exactly?

always makes me curious as to why, someone who has been around for a bit, or played years ago, came back during a launch, which if you have played mmo's previously, is always queued and busy, and dislikes seemingly everything, what their reasons are.

I mean your "house is in order" so you must have a good reason.

Dude Is just being extra to be honest with you he wants attention. Unfortunately we are giving it to him. We all should of just ignored his and everyone else that keeps saying the same thing its boring to read. Also this and all the other complaints that are saying the same thing need to be moved to one thread. This is getting beyond silly now. What are the mods in here doing. Come now @forum Mods gather all this threads together and put them into one thread.

I do other things while i'm in q.
Just the thing is so often I get kicked out of it because of the error, and I feel that if i'm not quick enough to log in again I get pushed back to the back of the line...
So its not very relaxing at all --"

I spend my queue time playing Another Eden, the new Eden X Chrono cross just released the other day and its pretty good so far

I normally browse the forums some (like now) and then continue with reading. Queues are between 2-6 hours for me. So yea .. I definatly use the time.

So like the god knows how many other pig headed, stand-offish people who make threads really only looking to argue, got it. You're clearly not open to a different opinion so what even is the point..?

I alt tab and play other games. Or watch videos on other screen

Just don't be gone long, or you will be kicked from the que with 2002

I'd be more than happy to do something else while I wait in queue. Problem is I have to sit at my PC and babysit the queue because of errors. I go for an hour walk after work. Every day this week I logged in to sit in queue while on a walk. Every day I came back to a 2002 error. I would be happy to go play the Switch while I wait in queue, again, have to babysit the queue.

Well thankfully the Switch is mobile and you can have it with you while you watch the queue, isn't that amazing?

The suggestions to do other things while in queue are just ignorant. You’re never getting logged in like that unless you just luck out and dodge all the 2002s.

Lol chill out Bro.
They were time-wasting suggestions of things you can do instead of staring at the screen and watching the Que slowly go down.
Something more healthy, and a better use of your time.

And no I dont. The Biggest Que Ife had was 4,567, and it took only 'about' an hour. to get in.
Now as things are calming down, Ive been getting a max of 2,127, and a minimum of 1 thousand. And now it takes between 10-20 minutes to get in.
Maybe its just our datacenters

Its not...because its exactly what Ive been doing the past 8 days.
And I can tell you, I get into the game, AND I did something positive and useful with my time instead of getting mad while staring at the Login Que.

I will admit yes, you should keep checking in case the error happens. But literally, just log back in, and your right back where you were in the que.
Or at least thats my experience.

its not 1h not in twintania, it actually takes 2h+ for 4-5k also u cant blame the guy for being upset people barely have 1h to themselves let alone wait 2h in queue and actually need to watch said screen cause there are high chance he will get kicked from queue cause of their server .

true the lunch isn't as bad as people claim cause the servers are alive and in game its all smooth play but if 10000 people get to play while the 100000 cant and stuck in login queue ultimate that need to babysit cause the servers will enter enrage and kill their queue times ,it fair that they demand their money cause they cant get what they paid for which is to play and asking them to wait and justify it is just trying to be white knighting out of spite.

but it is true that its not worth to get mad at the lunch and simply talk to customer support for refunds if you are that mad OP but the lunch itself is much better going then what was expected to happened which is the servers to burn and no players would be able to play at all.

I'm working on my PhD while waiting in queue, I'll probably get it before I'm level 90, so this situation isn't all bad.

Just reque. Not sure if & how its different for everyone else, but I reque, and Im back in line exactly when the error hit.
I really am trying to understand this part. Ive gotten into it with a few people, and I just get attacked instead of any possible intelligent answer.

I have had the exact opposite experience, to be fair. I've never gotten back in where I was.

It's a timing thing with the client, if I remember right, and I think you've just managed to get the timing right. I don't really know the technical details of it, I just know you have a chance of getting back into your old spot in line if you log back in within a certain timeframe.

I am late to the party as far as what I am about to say, but I been Binge watching The Walking Dead. I am barely on Season 4 Episode 3. But I am really loving it. I kinda of minimize one side of my screen so I babysit FFXIV when it does that "Error 2002' shit.

Hello, I'm not one to attack folks so please assume good intent with this comment (it looked like you genuinely wanted an answer so hopefully I didn't read your response intent incorrectly lol).

Yoshi P just explained it in today's update; he said this- "Even if you are temporarily disconnected due to Error 2002 at times of such instability, the lobby server will continue to wait for a few tens of seconds to a minute for your connection to be restored. If you are able to get back online and reconnect to the lobby server quickly, you will be able to queue up again from the middle of the queue. After a certain amount of time, the connection will be completely lost, and you will have to join the end of the queue."

I can attest to this. I got kicked this afternoon and was met with a 4k+ queue. In less than an hour I've received Error 2002 3 times. I've been able to log back in quickly and queue at my previous point; however.. this requires babysitting as the poster you quoted mentioned. This can be tricky.. especially if you don't have the remote desktop options set up. This can be truly annoying AF (and I'm a long time MMO player of FF series so I'm used to getting kicked.. waiting.. for the games I LOVE). On a brighter note, my room is looking pretty dang spotless now... next up... I'm going to scrub the F out of my kitchen while I wait lol!

playing wow while w8ing

Well, i was going to tell you to watch something while you wait, but you're on PlayStation so...no double monitor...do you own a switch by any chance? you could play something on it while you wait, or read a nice book, or you could watch the exploring series on youtube, he has some nice videos about the SCP universe.
