Can SE do something to make the wards not crash 3+ times a day?

Just wondering because if we had an Auction House this wouldnt be an issue.

My retainers have been up since the last maintenance, which is becoming more and more common.
They're working on a way to keep the retainers up over maintenance and crashes.

You can't assume that just because XI's AH didn't crash often that XIV's wouldn't...sadly.

Market wards have crashed 2-3 times today on lindblum. I heard about them trying to fix it, whatever they have done hasnt solved it.

FYI, in the 4-5 years I played FFXI, I don't think I ever heard of or saw the Auction House going down.

I think I've seen the AH go down about twice, however that was during the DDOS attack I believe.

They've physically closed it a few times, moved it's servers around, partial maintenance and even over congestion back in its prime where you get kicked out of it.

Wards reset a lot more than crash from what I've seen.

Again, those were FFXI developers. These are XIV developers. Clearly the XIV developers have generated an insane amount of errors in their coding across the board from the ground up. You can't assume the difference in crashing is due to the difference in style. In fact, it's probably not.

Same dev team, btw.

Since unlike the AH/Search server of XI, in XIV people are actually physically utilizing it compared to just accessing a search system, so without optimization, it won't be the most stable thing ever.

Uh no. Largely not the same team until the panic button was hit. Which is about the time the crash frequency got cut by 80%

Crash/Reset are basically the same thing. They have done it alot more than any I have seen, that was the point in my posting.

Yes i think we all noticed that the FFXIV Devs shouldn't have even touched(Or been paid for that matter) an MMO style play with all the bad points about the game and not taking good points from previous games(Not just 11 but the basic Final Fantasy series). The game was clearly rushed and it is very noticable.

I'm not saying I 110% hate it like 90% of posters on here that only have low level jobs, having a 49 CON and crafts at decent levels I can say I have tried most if not all aspects the game has to offer currently. Yet I still play because It keeps me entertained. I just hope they better the way the game is par say.

I still see the wards reset more than crash lately.

Crash, reset you retainer needs to be resummoned either way. So just try to use whichever word you prefer rather than trying to make it sound better than it really is by comparing the two.

The problem is once the wards crash it take a long time for everyone to realize they have crashed and to go resummon their retainers, people who are offline are just SOL. The whole community suffers tho because I cant go buy what I want and you cant sell it to me.

Cant remember the last time the wards crashed, its been a while.

I've noticed my retainer actually being up in the battlecraft wards on Cornelia for a week or so at a time before it gets reset.

The wards on Cornelia crashed last night and then 1x before that like a day or 2 ago, other than that i have not noticed them crash as much as they used to. Then again there is also not as many retainers are there used to be either.

I'm on Karnak and the wards here are very stable. My retainer been standing around twiddling her thumbs for at least 3 weeks; actually I think maybe much longer than that. A long time anyways.
