Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[BillyKaplan]

As much as I still think this is not the way it should've gone, and the timing hurts EU crowds in particular (yeah yeah it's an NA server, I know, still), the fact that things HAVE gotten considerably better since this was implemented makes me wonder - exactly how many people, basically, just logged in and never logged out since the very start of Stormblood...?

Don't see the hate, this was a good idea.

Maybe perma-ban afk-exploiters. They are the biggest issue with the congestion in the large servers. Then the auto-log off can be dropped.

doesn't matter that it's NA or not.

A lot of Europeans have been on the same servers since even 1.0..
my server was saronia when I started. later merged with lindbulm to become sargatanas..

Expecting those players to simply cut any connections and friendships they've made since then and hop to an EU data centre is simply Ludicrous given this is an MMO and social conections are A core part of what keeps people playing....

I've got friends on sargatanas that I played XI with for best part of a decade. and friends I met way back in 1.0 when ALL the servers where in japan..

Being NA doesn't make the slightest bit of difference...

the reset could be 11am-12pm EST and not impact half as many people. it wouldn't be in the EU prime hours or the US prime hours....

Nope. A ten minute inconvenience during the day isn't going to convince me to transfer for essentially nothing any more than long queues did. If SE wants me to relocate, guarantee me my house and I'll consider it.

That would be so easy to solve too, a new server in Aether, locked for new characters and transfers other than balmung for a week and locking housing purchases as well, allow anyone who transfers to move their house to exactly the same plot they had, including FC houses, then after giving Balmung a week headstart open the server to others along with regular housing purchase. 0 downsides and I bet that would split half the population of Balmung.

First 90002 since early access of Stormblood. Date: 29JUN2017 @ 9:45am Hawaii time. Server: Balmung. I hope this is not going to be a new on-going issue. The q time is still unacceptable. It's bad enough my entire FC (other than a handful of ppl) and raid team have left Balmung due to the on-going q times. I'm not leaving Balmung. I've been Balmung since 1.0. My fc members were also from Balmung since 1.0. My fc members have been playing with each other since the launch of FFXI & WOW. I was deeply saddened when they left. However, I'm here to stay because this is my home on FFXIV.
Please add more servers to Balmung.

I'm leveling an alt on Mateus. I just got to Brayflox. The servers go down in 30 minutes. I am a dps.

I cannot do Brayflox. I cannot continue story.

So for me, an innocent person leveling something NOT on Balmung, it's not 10 minutes.

I do like how posts like this keep getting ignored ^

People don't want to see how others are being affected negatively for way more than 10 mins, and they are gaining nothing from it either if they play in a server without queues.

Agreed. This is also what I keep trying to say. SE, either target your solution more responsibly or find another. This is ludicrous.

Here's the forums right now and here's SE tryna calm us.

Yes, but that's the forums EVERY day, about anything.
