Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

Then SEPARATE BALMUNG IN 2 SERVERS for God's sake !
Jeez everytime there is issues it's about Balmung beeing overpopulated, split it in 2 servers and stop screwing others players game

Odin has the same problem apparently so go blame them for the EU servers being included in this if it was just Balmung then only Aether would be affected why would they reset EU servers makes no sense.

FYI the server was fine in HW and would be fine if they had a proper AFK kick function in a month the server will be fine again so how about you stop with the server split nonsense.

So how about you pay my sub for said month ?
So I won't loose money because of AFK abusers

[MistakeNot]

My question is are we 100% positive AFK abusers are the issue and not just the server being overpopulated? Also why does this have to affect small servers at all? The longest wait I ever saw on Exodus was about 1000 after server wide disconnects during SB launch. I understand it is worse on big servers but smaller servers shouldn't be subjected to this as well.

A bit of both I think. Several servers are overpopulated, and then AFK abusers make things even worse.

Bullshit !

We transfered to one of your new server and now we have hours queue too because of you stupid idea to offer 2 weeks free for players reaching lvl 30 on a new server !
The low lvl zones are crowed with people farming to get that free time, remove that instead of your stupid idea, no more congestions !

Clearely won't take new sub and go to other MMO instead

And what about having log in queues per server instead of per data center ? Wait...

[Mikhaill]

Well, they will only make things worse with this new measure. The queues are bad enough as is, but forcibly logging everyone out and shoving literal tens of thousands back into a queue after a ten minute time-frame across an entire bloody data center is not the solution they should look to be implementing. This is just ridiculous, plain and simple and I really do hope it blows up in their faces in the most negative way possible, especially when the queues that exist after the forced boot will be nearly impossible to get through on larger servers because the worlds will max out almost instantly.

This post is a little extreme. Why would you want something to fail horribly and make everyone around have the worst possible outcome? not that big of deal lol. let's just wait and see.

[sVankerRabbi]

Is it too much to ask for the people who are up in arms about this and throwing out statements like "this is enough to make me quit" to actually follow through on their tantrums and quit? It would help alleviate the login queues.

Anyone remember how the server relocation was going to kill the game? Anyone remember how 200ms is unplayable? Hey look we're all still playing. This TEMPORARY measure will hopefully stop several hundred or thousand people from hogging login slots whilst they're at work/sleeping.

[Chessala]

This won't solve anything, it will make it even worse for the following reasons:

1 - it creates queues in servers that had NONE
2 - it creates a login server DDoS from all the people trying to log back in as soon as the servers are open again (if not even before then)

People that plant themselves on the bells will STILL plant themselves on the bells because it's just once every 24 HOURS. So the only people really affected are the ones actively playing already.

In 15 years of playing MMOs I have never seen a company employ such a stupid measure. Congrats SE, you are truly unique.

the stuck in a middle of a craft thing seems simple enough for SE to fix without stuffing us all about, frankly. Time the craft, if it's not finished in 10 minutes (or whatever) end it. Then the user will log out as usual after the 30 mins. Since the launch, I've probably spent 20 hours just sitting in the login que, and have never done a single duty - new or old, roulette or whatever - without at least a 30 minute wait. SE really need to up their game to cover the amount of users they are dealing with, and that is the bottom line in the end. Users blaming other users for SE's lack of planning isn't cutting it.

People have other means of afk. Auto run into a wall. Talk with an NPC. Sit in a cutscene.
