So has Aether crashed again?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

This isn't being caused my a bug; server uptime should in no way be affected by a patch. Plus, as others have stated, other companies really haven't had issues nearly this bad. In fact, even FFXI was better than this, to my recollection, and that was a far older game.

It also had less people playing on it, and the servers didn't really give you a choice on where to go. Aether is the most populated datacenter in XIV, and this, it has issues the others don't, namely, it can't handle the stresses it wasn't designed for. And more people keep transferring to Balmung and Gilgamesh.

SE just needs to perma lock the servers.

"Bug testing" in a colloquial sense. Keep in mind, few MMOs have major updates near as frequent or with as much added content. Compare WoW's update cycle (12-15 months) to XIV's (3-4 months). While the scale may be different, the constant updates give chance to more errors, especially if you're at all familiar with how easily code can break.

Adjusting accordingly wouldnt be needed if they would just be prepaired for this. I mean in all fairness to the player base we pay to play this game. We have a right to want better quality and preparedness.

Seems so -_- this happens every time there's a new patch

Aether be borked.

I wonder if they can move Balmung or Gilgamesh to the other cluster, and if that would help o.o

Oddly, it might. I suspect it has to do with PF suddenly pulling from a massively larger pool and whatever they're using to sustain it can't.

I wonder if they can move Balmung

Let's put two of the most active populated servers on the same data center.
What could possibly go wrong?

Well, the community chose Greg, it wasn't originally the 2nd most. Balmung was carried over from 1.0, but Greg was new. They should have moved it for 3.0s launch tho.

Well on this case they didn't CHOOSE to do so. Its just what ended up happening.
