Good Launch Square. Good Job

[Nothv13]

I was so incredibly excited to play today and I did get 3 hours in but I mistakenly logged off and now i'm in a endless 4000+ q that never ends and I get error code 2002. I love Square Enix and all their hardwork on making Endwalker the best expansion ever but I just wanted to vent that I think they should fix this issue and take the game down if that is what it takes. Many players such as myself already lost a whole day of early access.

The only fix is more server capacities in the login, lobby, and game servers. To expand that they need hardware. There is a shortage of hardware that is expected to last through 2022 and into 2023

I'm going through the same thing. But i haven't even logged in since the maintenance. Finally have some time to see EW for the first time and cannot get past the queue of 4,000 people. ERROR 2002 every time....

My hubby got in this morning played for 4 hours. 96 people when he tried.

Anyone with common sense knew this was coming in advance especially given how populated the game has been as well as the shortage of semi-conductors which means no new servers. The only people who are throwing a temper tantrum over this are clearly new to MMO expansion launches.

It was bad in the morning, then ok this afternoon (had a queue of like 34), now this evening it's worse than it's been all day. Multiple 2002 errors, 4000 queue waits on the smallest worlds. And the worst is getting to 1 in the queue after an hour plus wait and getting a 4004 error booting you from the game, then being forced to the back of the queue for another hour plus wait. Someone who's waited that long should not get an error message. That's not congestion. That's just bad code. Queue time in understandable. 2002 errors when trying to log into the data center is understandable. Being boot from the queue when you've been waiting and being forced to go to the back of line isn't.

Most people expected queue times. Queue times are not the problem, which is obvious if you take even 10 seconds to read the complaints. The problem is getting booted from the queue and being put at the end of the line of several hundred, or several thousand, just to get booted again after waiting an hour and end up at the back of the line again.

This ^ right here. I got no problem waiting, even for a hour or two to get in, but the whole 2002 error of getting booted out and losing your place. Sigh. Gonna start a new game here. Every time I get 2002'ed, I'm gonna take a shot of whiskey.

I've been lucky so far ::knocks on wood:: I've gotten the 2002 dc while in queue and every time, I've gotten back into the queue at the same spot. The worst for me has been waiting in queue for an hour (even with the disconnects a couple of times) but finally getting in the game, was in maybe half an hour, and got dc'd. So now back to a 4k (well 3k now) queue and had one 2002 dc but got my spot back. I'm on PC, so it's not the luck of the PS.

I got in just fine, aside from a handful of 2002 errors which were expected, and I don't use third party addons lmao

[Asari5]

yes indeed. thank you.
i had a queue of 1155... and played for 6 hours before i logged off again. there were a LOT of people around who also enjoyed it. i got the 2002 once before i even entered. the second try worked. thanks for this actual smooth start for most people
