Error 6001

[Malzian]

Hmm... I'm trying to place where I've seen all of this rage before...? Oh yeah, these same forums during the issues plaguing Phase 4, EA and Launch.... same errors, same reason, same rage. Yesterday was release day for XIV on Steam for 50% off. This means all the new users who bought it there spent yesterday downloading and patching the game and are now slamming the login servers today.

Since people are incapable of NOT whining like the WORLD IS GOING TO END.

Actually the Worlds DID end

Just kidding... But yeah, give it time, they sure are working on it...

Ima stay at home mommy with 2 kids and my hubby is in the military. FFXIV is one of those few things that keep me sane and give me my "mommy time" I wish I had a job right about now, I feel like such a nerd waiting on servers to come back up. I guess it doesn't help knowing their going down later tonight anyway but at least we knew about that one. I just get so into what im doing it was like giving a kid a sucker to make them happy then ripping it out of their mouth and trashing it. Made me wanna cry T.T Lol j/k To be honest I dont care how long its down for as long as they fix the problem long (er) term. No point putting a banaid on the problem for a temporary fix if its only gonna keep happening. If people are this upset now I can only imagine the outburst latet if they dont take care of it properly.

i'm hearing from XIVPads that peeps are getting back in-game. I hope all the crying was worth it!

Yeah, how dare people report problems on the tech support forums. Maybe if we hold hands and sing loud enough all the problems will go away.

...I've seen worse errors. Technology implodes people, deal with it. Technology malfunctions.

It is NOT easy to fix, Contrary to popular belief. You all really think fixing server issues is as easy as pressing a single button? God..if life was that easy...There would be no bullshit anymore!

It's not a button. you have to hit the server several times with a mallet and then turn a wrench. Also, make sure all of the dials are pointed the same way. They should also be checking to make sure that the CPU timing belt that controls the clock speed is lined up properly at TDC.
who would think it were a button? crazy people, thats who

I was seeing the same thing over level3 but they often have a moderate amount of packet loss. The tend to drop ICMP depending on load. But I was up in the 25% range starting in Denver. Smells like a fiber cut or DDoS

To be honest, I think people are well within their right at the moment to be complaining about this. I've known people with lag issues that are server side since the previous patches have hit that make it absolutely impossible for them to do anything serious. I've gotten a taste of the same issues the past few days on a smaller scale with issues connecting and multiple random 90ks while running stuff with people. Over the past couple of weeks, my coil 1-5 static has had the same issues, and while a lot of them are able to be coped with 1-4 we often times have to spend far more time doing T5 than is necessary due to people freezing for long periods of time or 90k'ing. That does not imply stability, and talking with others - many others - proves that they share the same issues. Not to mention that things always get the worst just before a new patch hits.

So no, it's not working as intended (or if it is, "intended" is really shitty), and they need to do something to fix it. Now if that means that they have to take things down for an emergency maintenance, then by all means... do so. Just address the public about the issues and then address the issues themselves. People pay for time, and all of these issues affect what they pay for.

I agree, people have the right to complain when there are errors such as this, and they should report and even complain about them, but the way many people have reacted to this is absolutely absurd. SE is not a terrible company because theirs servers go down on occasion, nor do they owe players recompense for something they've already publicly addressed and have said they're working on the issue.

Complaining = okay
Flipping the **** out = not okay

Agreed. Although, in some cases this is a long term issue, and it affects the quality of play for those people.
