Maintenance: What are you hoping for

[ExaltedStrife]

I just hope that this fixes the major issues, that we can all build our community in this amazing game.. other than that.. we shall see!

Its not a bug or at least thats what I gather from ffxiv_en news. 1017 is when they flip the switch and restrict the player from playing so it doesn't crash the server/make a even more unenjoyable experience. Please correct me if I am wrong.

No, you're right. I just referred to it as a bug because it's a simpler way to put it, IMO.

I expect there to be possible issues afterwards. Hopefully just minor ones. However, issues are kind of expected to hit after such a big maintenance. I'm really hoping for access to a server transfer afterwards.

I hope to see that they can at least put in some measures to make the game accessible and playable up through the free access period. Otherwise, one can point out that they're probably holding off on major fixes until after free access ends, and the server population diminishes.

What they currently propose is a temporary fix, and we will most likely be discussing this again in less than a week after the maintenance. I had high hopes for this release, and now I'm only hoping they can salvage it.

I hope that 1017 will be eliminated. I don't mind at all if I still have to sit in a queue to get in, I really just don't want to continue playing the Start>(Select Character)>OK>1017>OK game again over and over to play my character.

With that resolved, I hope they can start getting after other technical issues, like crashes upon restoring from alt-tab and the forced restart if one wants to switch audio devices while playing, etc. etc.

As far as what I expect? I expect I will see 1017 many more times this coming weekend, if not sooner.

To me while getting into play at all would be great, the weekend as you mentioned above, will be the real test I believe.

What I want to know is this: now that Duty Finder matching is taking place within groups instead of across all servers, does that mean that queues will be longer on average?

So far from what i've heard on Reddit. nobody has been getting 1017, and they have working queues currently. but then again, this is all 1-2 hours after they finished maintenance, so it's too early to tell for sure. The more people that report they are not having this issue, the more likely people are to log out when done playing.

no more LAG I hope, but it`s a small small chance that they will actually fix anything.

My biggest concern with this update is the restrictions on character creation. I've already seen the list of worlds that characters cannot be created on and it is a big one. My world is on it and it has only been a few hours since the patch has been implemented. I get that my world is highly populated but it is frustrating that even after the fix, my friends can't get on to create new characters which therefore forces me to possibly have to pay to transfer whenever the option becomes available.
