Play something else while you wait for queues?

its not 1h not in twintania, it actually takes 2h+ for 4-5k also u cant blame the guy for being upset people barely have 1h to themselves let alone wait 2h in queue and actually need to watch said screen cause there are high chance he will get kicked from queue cause of their server .

Just reque. Not sure if & how its different for everyone else, but I reque, and Im back in line exactly when the error hit.
I really am trying to understand this part. Ive gotten into it with a few people, and I just get attacked instead of any possible intelligent answer.

I have had the exact opposite experience, to be fair. I've never gotten back in where I was.

It's a timing thing with the client, if I remember right, and I think you've just managed to get the timing right. I don't really know the technical details of it, I just know you have a chance of getting back into your old spot in line if you log back in within a certain timeframe.

Hello, I'm not one to attack folks so please assume good intent with this comment (it looked like you genuinely wanted an answer so hopefully I didn't read your response intent incorrectly lol).

Yoshi P just explained it in today's update; he said this- "Even if you are temporarily disconnected due to Error 2002 at times of such instability, the lobby server will continue to wait for a few tens of seconds to a minute for your connection to be restored. If you are able to get back online and reconnect to the lobby server quickly, you will be able to queue up again from the middle of the queue. After a certain amount of time, the connection will be completely lost, and you will have to join the end of the queue."

I can attest to this. I got kicked this afternoon and was met with a 4k+ queue. In less than an hour I've received Error 2002 3 times. I've been able to log back in quickly and queue at my previous point; however.. this requires babysitting as the poster you quoted mentioned. This can be tricky.. especially if you don't have the remote desktop options set up. This can be truly annoying AF (and I'm a long time MMO player of FF series so I'm used to getting kicked.. waiting.. for the games I LOVE). On a brighter note, my room is looking pretty dang spotless now... next up... I'm going to scrub the F out of my kitchen while I wait lol!
