Lobby Server and Leviathan Server are down

[Devildante21]

If you think tech can't up and fail for no reason (in other words: out of human control), you haven't worked with tech much. Stuff like this happens, and yes it can be out of human control. Hard drives and such die, software glitches, etc. Tech ain't perfect.

Of course not, I only spent 4 years in an university studying computers. I'm definitely not aware of how techs can fail. Who better to not know about tech than someone who has a degree on tech? The game keeps getting buggier with every patch, but of course that must be out of SE's hands. Because their Hard Drive's been crashing for the past 6 months. Imagine how much money they've been spending on new drives. If only that money could be invested into monitoring the server .... Damn those tech natural disasters!

Edit: I'm sorry. All that sarcasm was unnecessary. I'm just very angry right now. I sincerely apologize.

Because with increased amount of tech and more updates, glitches do happen.

I fully agree, Glitches do happen. But this doesn't mean it could be prevented with some thought on why they happen an attack the source. Even if it just reduces the regularity of them issues taking place. Reduce the risk. Thats to say this is a problem with the software an not hardware related. I don't think Devildante21 was saying that glitches don't happen or even things dont fall apart, he was saying that with Preventive Maintainence (looking for problems before they are) would help keep things running smooth. We'll smoother as things still tend to be overlooked but with time new issues will be addressed an new problems will be observed an this would improve their data on what they need to be aware of to fix (less being overlooked an more being caught before it gets bad).

Referring to his sarcasm? "I'm definitely not aware of how techs can fail." -Devildante21. His point is simply stating that SE is responsible for their servers be it they be in full working order (firing on all cylinders) or in schambles (ruin) that any failure in systems can be directly placed on either a failure to maintain a piece of hardward or misplaced code in software (or just conflict in two patches which is a oversight issue). He isn't saying things don't happen or even bugs , glitches or crashes don't happen. What he is saying is that these things can be prevented or reduced with the creaters insight an action. As a customer we are paying for service. As a community we desire great service (SE does to aswell). In order for continued play an payment from us its required. Now i know they are hard at work trying to figure out what the problem is. We are entitled to great service in this game (which we have been given), to date i personally havn't had issues to this degree . My money has been well spent , but this fumble isn't faultless an the source could be anything.

It doesn't happen that often at all. There will be specific world technical difficulties every once in a while, but those usually get resolved fast too.

This is extremely rare to be honest. They have been very good on keeping the servers in good shape. I would definitely encourage you to enjoy this game. Though some people have issues playing due to not Square Enix's servers but the internet service providers between them and the servers. In those cases, people use VPN technology such as Ping Zapper or WTFast to get around them.

I can't even get to the main menu to try to access the lobby. Time for bed it seems. Please have this fixed soon.
