1017 back again

Diabolos

Do we get another 7 days free period extension?

yup...back again..seems like whoever does patches doesnt do an internal testing.

Status is still showing the servers down for maintenance. Not just in the launcher and Lodestone, but third party status pages show them down as well.

Yep the servers are down. Back to youtube!

I have a friend in game right now on balmung. showing me screenshots.

There we go 1017 again!!!!!! Perhaps clusters are not completely up!

yeha.. and one guy already posted he can't change zones on that server too. The cluster(s) may not be fully online yet.

Lodestone and arrstatus are never updated immediately after maintenance. Sometimes not even for an hour after servers come back up.

They always limit logins right after maintenance to keep servers stable, which is why it's strange that they would have a maintenance in the middle of prime time hours for NA players.

You are only getting a 1017 because there's a cluster of people logging into the game at the same time that is likely too much for the servers to handle. Just give it a few minutes and you should be able to log in.

balmung is up but you cant get in b/c of error 1017.. got to love SE they like going backwards then forward. well what can you say JP's are great at creating stuff but they suck at managing

Even so... just further illustrates the point. People might just need to wait a bit longer for things to stabilize?

Even a desktop isn't ready to go full throttle as soon as the desktop comes up.

Reading is hard.

Oh my god!!! When are you people going to learn how to read? They impose Log-in caps after maintenance in order to easy the number of people back into the servers so they don't get flooded by 100,000 people at once so you idiots don't crash them.

Are you the same people who cry about not getting enough information?

The only information I would like to know is if maintenance is extended. I cannot even retrieve the NA/EU server list at that. So, quite frankly... I'm not going to whine about it, but it would be nice to have an update so I'm aware of what's going on and approximately the time to check back for logging in.

Blow me Sideways, Batgirl......

Put me in as number 9,999,999,999 in line. but for fuck sake get rid of error 1017.

Same here, been trying to log into Balmung for the past half hour and still nothing. It's not even showing me the queue message.

You mean you waited until we had to pay you then you put this shit back in. SE this is crap and you know it.

This is BS. The reason we get the 1017 error instead of a queue is because they are to damn cheap to pay for adequate login servers. No game in this day and age intentionally makes you blindly attempt to login over and over. They have intentionally put in this "hack" 1017 error to get around not having adequate infrastructure to support their customers.

To further illustrate my point I literally just got into the queue. I am number 285. 10 sec later I get logged in. That my friends is a fake queue. Hacks used to mask an inadequate hardware / network infrastructure.

There's the door, feel free to have yourself booted out. Very easy to complain and say, "Companies should do this, companies should do that, we deserve better, wahh wahh." Vote with your dollar, the Technical Support forums aren't for whiners. You think other places are better, go there. Square Enix has done a lot of things wrong and didn't plan nearly well enough for the influx of players, but the increased stability we've been enjoying is proof enough that they've been attempting to fix their mistakes. Better service will come with time as they iron out issues. In the meantime, stop spamming logins when you get 1017, you're part of the problem.

TL;DR I'm sorry this isn't a playground where you would probably just cut in line.
