Please please please please please make the queue system work. I would rather sit in a queue ALL DAY LONG and never get to log on than spend an hour of my day sitting in front of my computer getting an error message, never knowing if the next click will be the one that logs me in.

Same feeling.
It's a really stupid decision to limit queue size. -
09-02-2013, 09:57 AMskitzopathShould rename it from A Realm Reborn Final Fantasy XIV Online to A Realm Unavailable Final Fantasy MXVIIQuote:

what needs to happen is they need to instal an auto AFK disconnect timer.. seriously people become afraid to not get on they sit for days using server space.. they need to be kicked to allow those who are active to get on

Just having a functioning queue would help tremendously. It's a new game, and an unexpectedly popular game and I understand if there's lengthy queues. 30 minutes, hour whatever. If nothing else I'll remote access from work at the right time to be able to play when I get home. Player morale would go up considerably.
It would also reduce the load on the lobby/regoinal servers. I would have to imagine that holding some in queue is far less stressful on the server than having that same player try to log in a few times a minute for the same timespan.
It would also help with the server balancing, particularly if the average queue position in primetime over the last 3 days was public. If people get frustrated with queue they can look at every server and reroll to give every server roughly the same stresses. Right now I have no idea if the other servers are better or worse than Cactuar. So I stay there because I'm vested in that server and have no other information to go on. You prevent people from making a rational decision they are forced to act irrationally.
Hell add in a afk boot system so the queue moves quicker and this would seem like a great game and an unexpected hit rather than a great game that's an unexpected hit that's maintained by a room full of 2nd graders. -

The AFK boot system would solve alot of the problems at this moment. yeah granted it would piss alot of those who depend on the afk to hold there position but its only fair.. we all pay for the game, we should have every right to play just like all those who dont have jobs and can get on at 3am and just hold there position

09-02-2013, 10:16 AMRyanWI play on Faerie because Leviathan was locked within 16 hours of Beta 4 starting, and all my friends are there. I spent a week just trying to log onto Leviathan before giving up.Quote:

i understand that feeling there. i got early access before all my friends at work bought the game.. now we are spread over 5 different realms because the creation is locked.. they should seriously redesign launch guides, or make it like XI was where someone from the server can send a password to a friend to allow them access

09-02-2013, 10:39 AMIronman2oooand instead of calling it a login/lobby server, it'll be Ziggy and The Accelerator Chamber ;-)Quote:

When WoW: MoP came out I remember there was a 14 hour server queue for my realm... yeah it sucked but at least I could see the progress.
This is just absurd. -

It also doesn't help that the wording of 1017 tells us to wait until an opening is available and try again, when we can't possibly know when an opening is available without... trying again.

09-02-2013, 10:46 AMBurnsynci never had much que issues in WoW since BC came out. Give it to Blizzard they had alittle bit of there act together.Quote:

This is the first release-day MMO I've ever encountered without a functioning queue system. Sometimes the window shows up, but most of the time it doesn't. The number hardly ever refreshes and when it does, sometimes it actually ticks upwards (?) Usually it just times out though. I've only been able to play after midnight since launch because every server, regardless of the region, appears to be full between the hours of noon and midnight (EST).

09-02-2013, 11:04 AMPancake_HeroMissing a functional AFK system tooQuote:

Yeah I was 28 in queue and got that error. It's like...Really? 28? Maybe if it was like 600 or something but even then idk. i'd rather just queue up and go do things and come back to play in an estimated wait time. If the servers had a higher capacity, and a functional AFK booting system then I really doubt we'd see as much of these issues.

I can't even log on at 2am anymore. Literally have not been able to log onto the game I'm paying for, for 3 days now.

I would love to get error 1017 - I can't even reactivate my 1.0 account to even get these errors because mog station does not recognize my original 1.0 service account
-
09-02-2013, 12:47 PMToni
I guess I will wait until 3 or 4 am, log in, and AFK while I sleep. This way, Ill be able to play at normal hours.
