SE, please explain "error" 1017 - at least let us know what the issue is.

SE, please post to us telling us what is going on with the 1017 issue. That's all I ask.

I won't bother arguing the points people have already complained about at length. But many people are angry and coming to their own conclusions, even threatening to dump and crash JP servers. It should be very simple to tell us -what- precisely 1017 is and/or what steps are being to fix it. It would make us feel a lot more at ease. Right now we just feel ignored and cheated. Here are some questions you might benefit from giving a brief response to on the forums:

WHAT is "error" 1017?

Why is there simply not a queue, regardless of size? You cannot argue that limiting access further than a queue is for stability -- that is what queues are for already.

Why is it possible to get 1017 DURING a queue?

Why are AFK characters not booted from the server after a period of time? EVERY MMO ON THE PLANET has this feature, and for good reason. Even having a 1hr autoboot would prevent people staying in ALL DAY LONG.

Why, if servers are so full, is there no option to allow people to transfer their characters to a different one, at least during this initial period?

Why are there so few servers?

Everyone seems to feel your in-game content is very good. Please don't let server issues destroy the potential for success this game has. I know Square is having financial troubles. So please say something, anything.

Let us help you!

Love,
GT

The problem is.......ALL the servers are too full.

I assume we can't queue because the server is full. We can only queue when someone leaves the game, and of course, having 200+ people queued for a one-character spot in their severely-limited servers will leave 199 of those queued players to be 1017'd and kicked out.

Imagine, if you will, a server being DDOSed.

There you go, 1017.

Please bump this if you're interested in seeing an SE response to any of these issues!

Bump bu bu bump bump, bump bump!

They only respond if you talk about gay marriage and people start to go at eachother's throats. Other than that they just sip on their green tea and check their Facebook accounts for new funny videos of cats doing the darnest things.

I realize that I'm bumping this thread even with what I'm about to say: If you've been around for the past even month or so, you would be well aware that SE has a very strict code of silence. That code of silence is only occasionally broken by their code of cryptic updates. That code of cryptic updates is only very seldomly broken by their code of mished mashed mouth hole noises. That code of mished mashed mouth hole noises can only ever..EVER be broken by an apology from Yoshi....which is essentially a shortcut back to the first code. /end Good luck sir or madam.

It doesn't feel like an honest error message. I'm only speculating, but I rarely saw a queue over 200,if I see one. It acts like there are very low queues on each world and the outgo from the lobby overwhelms them. Again, only guessing, but I'd think the queues might be more usable if the worlds had fewer logins allowed, but they can't raise that because the 90000 errors weren't solved, but they kicked the can down the road.

Thanks, I think.

You won't get a response. No one has so far. This thread won't get anything either. SE won't respond until they've fixed it. At that point no one will fucking care anyway.

i was told on my thread i was just trying to elicit a response like i had no right too ask..was shown this thread..which is just about as small as mine is..anyway,, bump...i agree..but i wont belitle your thread...i will ask here like i did there... what are the dev's gonna do to fix it... when do we get new servers...or enlarge the ones we have.. when do we get past this error so we have a que... i wanna play// not spend all evening logging into the game

HURRY AND FIX THIS SHIT... WHAT AM I PAYING FOR?!?!?! FUCK THIS GAME AND ITS USELESS GAME SERVERS ...... IM PAYING FOR A GAME I CANT EVEN LOG IN AND PLAY??? MONEY BACK PLEASE!!!!!!

REFUND US I DON'T EVEN WANT TO PLAY NOW I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS USELESS SERVER SHIT

bump

this is unbelivable, after 3 days, no ACTUAL response, we really need more than i'm sorry.No amount of developers tears an take away the frustration of this huge fail.

Not SE but this might shed some light to the non-technical players.

"WHAT is "error" 1017?" -- It's an error indicating to you the player that you can't connect to the world because it's full; it also has an underlying meaning that it can't connect to the queuing service either because it's down, has a cap, or some other reason.

"Why is there simply not a queue, regardless of size? You cannot argue that limiting access further than a queue is for stability -- that is what queues are for already." -- There is indeed a queuing service but my theory is that it's down or unable to handle large queues (Think of 20k people lining up for food at a McDonalds or something everything has a capacity)

"Why is it possible to get 1017 DURING a queue?" -- Same Question different way, the service most likely crashed and burned resetting everyone.

"Why are AFK characters not booted from the server after a period of time? EVERY MMO ON THE PLANET has this feature, and for good reason. Even having a 1hr autoboot would prevent people staying in ALL DAY LONG." -- Noob move on SE's part it sounds like or their designer wants there to be enough resources for this to not be needed. This is also a feature that might require them to do maintenance on the server that they arn't prepared for yet (it's not something that can be toggled on magically).

"Why, if servers are so full, is there no option to allow people to transfer their characters to a different one, at least during this initial period?" -- Everyone is a low level and this shouldn't be required however there is a possibility that like above it's not built. This would require server support and might be a maintenance update.

"Why are there so few servers?" -- Saw a post on this about how the NA beta's didn't have the amount of population that the JP ones did and they used that data to purchase data center space. This is most likely an oversight from SE and I assume their finance and development departments are working on this as we speak. Provided SE is Agile this might get completed in a week possibly two but I don't know how Japanese studios operate.

"Everyone seems to feel your in-game content is very good. Please don't let server issues destroy the potential for success this game has. I know Square is having financial troubles. So please say something, anything." -- If I were a Dev for SE I would get warm and fuzzy feelings from that and try my best to assist in anyway possible.

I've been waiting for 8 hrs let me IN!!

Servers are to full people wanted to actually play this and they apparently want to lose customers by not allowing them into the game they paid for. thats where im at now. had this all early access and games out and its still going . people are just staying logged in its damn near impossible to log in at all..

Yeah this is pure crazy
