Can we calm down about the daily logoff?

Wait... there's people complaining about the 10 minute server reset? Why? It's standard across all MMOs... and this is only temporary they said.

Of course only those who abuse the AFK exploits are the ones complaining, so there's no point responding to their complaints anyway.

Again, this is standard for all MMOs. Nearly every MMO in existence has a daily server reset. The amazing thing is that they haven't implemented it before and they are only going to do it temporarily. Most MMOs make it a permanent occurrence.

Well it's understandable that people who play DPS would be upset about it. I mean they wait pretty long as it is in queues just to get into runs. So it would majorly suck for them to have the 1 hour notification of the server going down right while they're in the middle of their queue. Since they can't really continue waiting out the queue and do their run without risking getting disconnected right in the middle of their run. So they have to cancel their queue, wait for the auto-log off, log back onto the game after the 10 minutes are up, wait through a login queue if there is one, only to then have to wait in a queue for their run once again.

This of course becomes doubly problematic for folks with more limited free time to play. So while it doesn't affect non-DPS players as badly or people with a lot more free time to play it's not hard to see how it could greatly affect certain people.

This is hyperbole, sorry to say. The server resets will occur in off-peak hours. Today's reset started at 12:00pm GMT +8. And the servers will only be down for 10 minutes. When they come back up, queues will actually be shorter if they log right back in again.

The chances of the daily server reset being right in the middle of someone's queue are very, very low.

You are correct actually. I had a ten minute wait for expert just after the reset. It actually helps dps queue times if you are fast enough.

It would be great if SE could actually implement a REAL fix for the login queue issue rather than a shitty band-aid fix like this. Since this just ends up greatly inconveniencing many innocent people. Though honestly they really should have just closed our server to transfers long ago. Since the World Transfer Service page had said for a long time that "Characters cannot be transferred to a World which has already reached the limit for character creation.". Yet despite that SE more than happily accepted money under the table from people wanting to transfer in for years. In the end it was SE's greed and refusal to seriously address the overpopulation issue sooner that lead to the state the server is in now.

A 'proper' fix will take development and testing time.
It is not something that would be albe to help now.


A proper fix should be worked on, but this 'band-aid fix' is helping to alleviate some of the issues for now.

I'd much rather have a band aid fix that helps today than wait a month with no word for an actual solution (here's hoping they are working on one though!)
