You gross 200 Million in subscriptions a month why are your servers junk?

But in shadowbringers, we are solving first world problems...

Aw, you beat me to it...

[gumas]

Yep that's a DDoS. 90006'd while I was entertaining college kids from summer anime club. Ah well.

3131 in queue here

i wonder if this is NA server problem only. i play in tonberry and the highest queue i get is 284 and that is the queue when i login to SHB opening hour.

now, around 20-50 is the highest i get, and tonberry is one of the cramped server with frequent char creation lockdown.

This particular issue happened cuz of ISP issues in NA.

Seriously, I'm having to wait a literal hour before I can log into the game.

For a company with 17 million players at 12-14 dollars a month you would think your servers would be i don't know...

somewhere in the realm of good, this happens every single patch and every single launch your servers are always less then what you need...

You need 4 servers per EVERY single world in every single data center and 4 more servers running V-motion so that failing servers can be hot swapped without down time in addition to the 4 that run each world mirrored for a total of 4 mirrored servers and 4 fail over servers.

'Our servers are reaching capacity" is not an excuse for a company that grosses 200 million. If you cant run the traffic, buy more servers. Literally that simple.

This has been an over all smooth launch. Only twice was I kicked do to attacks. I'm on one of the high pop servers and have yet had to wait over 10 minutes to log in. I'm positive you're greatly exaggerating the time you have to wait.

You're talking about 1st day of launch...it's like this for every single major mmo that has ever existed (even wow, and Diablo 3) because massive surge of ppl that log in and play at same time - it lasts a few days, then it's back to normal - should they get state of the art, multipel servers, just for 1 week/expansion?
I logged into game on early access, 2min, then i spent entire EA, with no issues whatsoever, so to me, it's been the best launch in the history of FFXIV, and any other mmo i played. Then again i played for nearly 40hrs with a few power naps, then after normal sleep, i log in during morning, with 200 ppl in queue, and it took a few min to get in again, and that's how it's been since 28th; even last night at 7pm ish, after restarting modem/ps4, i logged in again with 250ppl in queue, and few min login (on omega, which i think is a congested world, at least it used to be)

You posted this on 2nd, i assume your problem is fixed now?

It’s a NA specific issue, yes. They DDoS the ISP relays when patches, especially expansions, happen. Well actually, the DDoS’d the actual servers originally but S-E put in some failsafes.

[Gleipni]

im on spriggan and i had absolutly no problem,the worse i got was 20 queue,in 10sec it was over.

[Felis]

Welcome to the 1st-2nd week of a new expansion. It should be normal in a month again.

[Hash_Browns]

Ya know, I have barely any experience with other MMOs, but you would think SE, the small indie dev would have some kind of DDoS prevention. You would think they had some kind of way to gauge servers so that people who paid for the game, bought the subscription, and pre-ordered the game wouldn't have to wait in +2 hour queues.

I don't care if the game is built on a game that was a flaming trash pile. Old shortcomings can only be used as an excuse for so long, and I would think 3 damn expansions in is a pretty damn long time.

Nah, when I logged into Tonberry right as servers went up for ShB, the queue was at 1700+. Now at most I get 250ish, but it's very fast to log in.
