Aether Crash again?

Yeah I was there when heavens ward launched. I didn't notice any problems either. I remember when heavens ward launched vividly because of the 20 or so fresh dark knights I saw on the beach at Costa del sol.

That and tank roulette bonus wasn't available for a few days because everyone wanted to try dark knight.

The only reason why Heavensward didn't have much problems is due to the brackets that were in place. Remember them? :P There was 3 layers of brackets. To help ease congestion. And didn't put huge amounts of stress on the servers. I remember this because I couldn't see the person that I was married to at the time, til I used my Eternity Ring to get to his bracket.
Square Enix can simply fix this problem by doing two things (maybe!). 1) Increase data capacity. Or 2) Enforce those brackets again til they fix every single problem that is incurring.
Both seems to be the best bet to do. There's a lot of data that is stressing servers needlessly. SE can fix everything within 1 patch or the day after patch by having another maintenance. 1-2 days is acceptable. But all these problems are needless.

When hw launched I randomly got dc'd especially when trying to change areas or things would freeze during a cut scene and I would have to re-start my whole console to get it to work again. There were numerous problems like what we're experiencing now when he had launched including getting a in que message while trying to log in saying the world was full. The issues we're experiencing now is in part to the temp players coming back to the game and the new cross world party finder probably among other bugs that come with any new content.

If the problems really are because of new players or players returning, I actually am a little happy if that's the case.

I love this game, and I think it deserves more recognition.

And although I haven't used party finder much (maybe just 2 or 3 times) it's really cool to see pages of people looking for groups on party finder. I may use it more now.

All in all, I'm upset but if it means the games doing well and if it's the price we pay for improvements like cross realm party finder, I'm not THAT mad.

I definitely agree with you on that, and like someone else just said they may need to put those brackets back in like they did when hw came out until things level out again and the temp players have gotten their fill of the new content.
