Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Crysten]

No they aren't. This entire issue never occurs if SE wasn't greedy and happily collected $20 with every transfer to servers they supposedly closed. Most people aren't going to even know about server populations beyond "Balmung has a large roleplay community." You don't blame the playerbase for preferring larger servers when they could still transfer onto them, albeit for a price.

Balmung has been well advertised as full for the longest time (when has a new player ever been able to get on there, honest question) and despite this people transfered anyway, warning signs be damned. Why would you then turn around and moan that you can't log into a server which was already under massive pressure?

Again, playerbase is just as much to blame as SE.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying SE is faultless, I'm saying both parties are equally to blame. To suggest otherwise is stupid.

yes, let's blame the players because there are too many of them and they can't be provided with better servers for their sub money.

I'm curious what the impacts could be to Eternal Bonding Ceremonies, though. Doesn't affect me personally, but hopefully they've considered it?

Seems pretty simple to me: Don't do them until the measures are over, just to be safe.

I don't think they went out of their way to accommodate those when they haven't bothered fixing the AFK exploit in, like, what... 3 years now? Nah, I think people will just have to deal.

I have a better solution. Buy better servers!

I don't think the game has been coded to make use of increased server capacity. Like I said in my previous post, I have reason to believe that the code base is garbage and that it hasn't been made sacalable. And given FFXIV's clear "spaghetti code" (as we jokingly refer to horrible code), it wouldn't be so easy.

Will we at least get to know when this daily logout occurs? So we can plan for it. If this is gonna cut into our raid time I'm gonna be pissed.

It will be announced in game an hour before the kick from what the article says.

Ok, why they have launched their longest Welcome Back campaign (1 free month) on Stormblood launch day? Surely it doesnt help with congestion.

As I mentioned in my previous post, SE has had a huge lack of foresight on the servers. But, at the same time, I believe they did it to try and generate more hype about the game. Since it was a welcome back campaign to celebrate Stormblood launch. Whether or not this blows up spectacularly in their face remains to be seen.

Its even more bad.

People that were in the queue get in and people that played right before will take their place in the queue instead.

Wooooow. What a solution.

Erm, are you sure? From my understanding it's a case of nobody will be able to log in for that 10 minute period of the flush happening, so everybody's queue would be reset after the 10 minutes.

No one is looking foward to this, especially if the effects of this hit their playtime.
