I hate when my husband is right.

Pretty sure they throttle, if the server was unstable because everyone was on, it would look worse then if you simple hard cap the entire thing and leave ppl 3h in the queue.

All they create is a downward spiral of "im not waiting 3h for a log in, ill stay logged in by other means" which clogs the server more.

Heres hoping this will even out, also on a side note, almost every keyboard has a macro repeat funktion that could press W for you for a sec once per 25min ... not that anyone should ever do that.

This is why I don't take time off on a MMO launch.

to be absolutely clear though, after that first hour it's relatively easy to get on and play now on some of the most populated servers and if not on those you can world visit to progress.

Well our server has 11000 players in queue. Then it crashed. They confirmed there is an issue with our server.

If some of you attempted to play World of Warcraft "Classic" when it came out a couple years back, you'd be desensitized by this by now. Queues of over 20,000, queues that lasted several hours, servers that crashed multiple times, realms that went down for hours before coming back up, all over a game that had already released over a decade prior and was just a "re-release" lol. And this was the "vaunted" Activision Blizzard, with all of it's resources.

I really don't know how my experience has been so much different than the horror stories I'm reading about Endwalker's launch. I'm on Aether DC which is incredibly populated, I logged in around 8am est to a 44 person queue on my server and I haven't been disconnected once. No lag or MSQ issues in-game either, it's been perfectly stable.

Those numbers are hell itself. 2002- 2020. >.>

My big issue is when you get DC'd in the queue with the lovely 2002 error. Why does it have to close the entire client? instead of you know.. bringing you back to server/data select screen. I expect to time out. It is the way of things but just let us hit start again instead of going through the sign in process please.

YES. And finally let us save login data, at least if im using a security tokken as well...

[Mixt]

Meanwhile i can't even get into the que. 2002 errors before i even get into the character selection screen.

[Caitlyn]

It would help alot if a 2002 error doesnt quit the entire game, so you have to relog all over again.

[Lanadra]

I think I did state it was more to do with how the servers, login, lobby, character and data center talk to each other.



.. thanks for the permission. I'm sure they're distraught that they didn't please you and are itching for your forgiveness. The least they can do is absolutely nothing. However they warned us, did what they could to upgrade the infrastructure and even pushed to try and add even more but that wasn't possible. The entire time being as transparent as they possibly could. Considering you have absolutely no idea what it would take to do what you want, I'd take a less demanding tone. Yes they knew it was going to happen. They even specifically mentioned the 2002 errors in that last caveat before early release. I think if it was easy, it would probably have been done.

But .. yknow.. keep being mad about stuff that happened yesterday. That's... something you can do.

With every post they make they're sounding more and more like a petulant child to me.

Which was when? 2002? When MMOs were relatively new and not mainstream so events such as this weren't common so they didn't have the benefit of in hindsight?

It's been almost 20 years now and technology has advanced.

And also we are supposed to be ff good, not wow bad.

Uh no, this was just last year. Shadowlands had just as a rocky of a launch as this. Hells it had weeks of problems because of their world bosses crashing zones every week. But you know, only SE has expac problems. Would it be nice for things to be absolutely perfect at launch? Yes. Will it happen? Probably not until they entire country has its internet infrastructure overhauled and is on fiber.
