So are instance server crashes just going to be a normal thing on Mondays now?

It seems like a datacenter-specific problem.

Please mention which data center you are on when discussing this.

I've found that Elemental DC is very prone to disconnects during peak time (usually also having long server reservation queues). On the other hand, I've never had a disconnect in peak time on Mana DC (which rarely seems to need to wait for server reservation).

So is everyone joining the "90k > 10105 > 10105 > etc." club? Because I hear SE is inviting everyone. Pisses me off that this happened on the last hit to the final boss in CT. I'm not even sure if I'm going to get my myth or my chance at the loot since I'm still getting the 10105 error when I try to log in and I know its bugged because when I 90k, I was wearing allagan boots during the fight but when I go to check on my character he still wearing the aetherial raptor skin legs that I bounded and converted just before the the final fight. How is that even possible?

I was doing Hydra with a bunch of people on Leviathan (Primal datacenter) and most of the fight was a lagfest. Trying to zone in, we all 90ked. When we wiped earlier because of the lag, we all 90ked zoning back out. Was not fun in the least. @_@

bummer this isn't a one off thing . I thought it was just happening to me.

I didn't dc but the duty finder for Balmung was having some kind of seizure and I did have some ugly bits of lag. Luckily it wasn't during the fights in CT.

You'd think with as much maint they do everything would be running smoothly. From how the party finder is set up, I can tell they have no clue what they are doing.

To be fair they decided to make the game where most people only truly "play" on mondays due to lockouts and caps. So no matter how smoothly the game runs, when most of your players decide to hammer something on one day a week there wil be problems.

of course its going to be a normal thing, because common sense dictates that if it happens once, then it will happen forever, even if it had never happened before once it starts you are doomed to deal with it from now on!.

Because the armory page updates like once a day. I've had days where I log off as my WHM and it still shows me on my BRD the next day. It doesn't update real time.

When I got back on there was a group flipping out in shouts about how they had just downed turn 4, were doing rolls on the loot when the instance servers died, thus locking them out of that turn for the week, yet denying them the loot.

[Versiroth]

I'm sure this is due to CT lockouts. Since it resets Monday morning, everyone and their brother are running it Monday night and the stress is apparently too much for their instance server to handle. As for me, I got booted and some how ended up with a Dragoon belt on my Paladin (we were fighting Thanatos when I started having lag/disconnects)).... so, I'm done for the week.
