Error 2002

[Miah_Polaali]

Yep, Error 2002 for me al day since Heavensward update. Aether data center, Balmung Server. I have been lucky twice in getting through, but that is out of the many numerous times I have tried. Honestly SE, you'd think you would have figure things out by now. Please, get it fixed or I am just gonna go back to GW2 or Archage.

Just go back to gw2 for like the next week or two. People are showing up that haven't seriously played the game in a long time and they'll get sick enough of shiny new things and move back on, then it'll be playable again. Sucks that the "early access" was a lie, though, since there's no access at all for a lot of us ._.

Also, SE never really learned anything about server congestion and stability since the launch of 2.0.This happens with every major update, and this is an /expansion./ To expect them to learn anything about proper server and data center management by now...we are clearly expecting too much. Might as well ask a frog to fly as ask them to learn from past mistakes o.o

Edit: Oh, can we at least please get it so the client doesn't CTD when a data center connection fails? Since you're not going to bother fixing the core issue, ever, can we at least get that bandaid so we don't have to keep constantly restarting the client and entering the password? Mine is really a pain >.<

[QUOTE=...... Early release means early connection bugs. Given yesterday went too smoothly, probably should have seen this coming.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. They had this problem with 90k and 5k errors when ARR first launched. Entire data centers were having issues, same as now. Hope this doesn't last as long as it did then.

was able to get in ONCE on Goblin (Aether data center) roughly 10:30am PDT today and only had a 3-person wait queue. Had to log out a few mins later for family issues, and now I'm back to 2002 error all over again and haven't been able to get in for the last hour. This is getting beyond the 'aggravating' stage, Squenix.


edit: fix typos

Day 3 of early access and not being able to connect again! I kinda want my money back, why did I pay for early access when I cant even play. I have read from people that this is not a fixable issue because its the same stuff that went on in 2.0 and beta. They say that its because two of the most populated servers are on the same Data Center and that we just have to deal with not getting on because of the traffic overload. Here is my issue with that: 1) First since SE saw this happen in 2.0, they should have known this was gonna be an issue in 3.0 and should have taken action and get ahead of it. 2) It is absolutely fixable suck it up and split up the data center, upgrade the data center for more users, or at the very least if a user cant connect to a data center don't crash their game. Have it move to the previous window, so they can click again to try to reconnect.

I'm mostly frustrated on the fact that I have to reopen my game, re enter my password, rewatch the SE made this stuff advertising, and wait for the main menu to appear each time I fail to connect to a data center. Its less that I cant connect but that when I don't connect but how the game reacts when you don't connect.

Also once I do finally connect to a data center, then click to connect to world I then get forced into a false countdown of users in Que. One time was 533 users in Q, and it started to count down and with in 10 mins or so I was connected. But what I'm talking about is sometimes I'll get 1 user in Q or 17 in Q whatever, and then it'll sit there for an hour not counting down at all. Then you back out to reconnect data center and it crashes game.

Please give us a sign that you are actually reading these SE I havent seen any offical posts saying that you are working ont his, only a post saying hey its busy suck it up. :P Well yea its busy you should of known it was going to be, fix it.

Just adding that I was playing just fine and got disconnected from the server, and have been getting 2002 when I try to log in ever since. It only happens for Aether, Primal, and Chaos data centers and happens on both PC and PS4.
