Good Launch Square. Good Job

Worse than ShB but better than SB and HW. Not as bad as I was expecting at any rate.

And remember these problems are with removing the free trial people. Hopefully the system is designed well enough that free trial people aren't even in the lobby considering the volume.

I thought it would be 10k queues but it was 2k ok but not good.

The problem isn't 2k ques. Everyone would just laugh at some one who said "oh no que". The que isn't stable and you can sit in que for 30 mins and go from 2k to 5k.

Precisely. If the only problem was massive queues that folk have to wait in to get ingame, that is something that is to be expected. The real problem is that folk might wait in a queue, but actually see the number of people ahead of them go up, or, alternatively, spend an hour or two slowly moving up the queue, just to get booted out with an error message, then be put back at the end of the queue when they log back in.

2 hours waiting an then 2002 error and starting queue again. Why?!!!!

At least Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't have to worry about being the worst videogame launch anymore.

I'm glad Yoshi-P delayed the launch by two weeks to improve the quality. Much improved. Such quality.

Neither heavensward nor stormblood had these issues. Hell, for that matter, Burning Crusade didn't either. So to anyone saying this is par for the course. It isn't.

Even in favor of giving the anecdotes the benefit of the doubt, I would prefer that they were considered learning experiences by the people who need to feel that way; rather than seeing this nonsense as "good enough."

I'm sure the quality of the game itself is great, I haven't gotten to experience it yet because I've been running around collecting the classes and doing a few other things; waiting for my girlfriend to get in so we can level and play together. I imagine more than anything else, this is a hardware problem. A failure on someone whosoever is directly in charge of making the decisions that procuring the necessary hardware to prevent this situation "wasn't worth it", whether it was by paying a premium for it or renting it. In those cases, it is not my decision to make, and I understand that; but also in those cases, it is my criticism to give, and it's valid. I respect the people who created the game but not the people who decided it was okay to force us all to deal with this and turn the player base on each other for not wanting to log out for a 20-30 minute break in order to deal with hour(s) long queues.

No, it still holds that title. While this login issue is severe and shouldn't be happening for a multitude of reasons, it's lightyears from being the worst launch a game or expansion has had.

What did you drink before typing this out? I wanna avoid it.

This made me laugh, since hope it's sarcasm. Heavensward launch was a mess. And they had to literally restart servers in Stormblood to boot everyone back to queue and make it a lottery on who could play that day, giving a one hour warning before each restart.

To an extent, even a ridiculously long queue time cannot be prepared for. If it takes hours to move through a queue of 3000 people, that is all the time some people even have. Throw a mildly unstable internet connection into the mix, and that's it. You don't get to play. I would prefer to believe something could be done. I don't want to see people miss out on stuff like this, times are hard enough. Even for the people who are logged in. "I want to take a small break but I don't want to log out" isn't something I want to see people saying, but I am seeing it.
