Good Launch Square. Good Job

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

Part of the issue with ques is not only the number of people "Trying" to log in, but also people trying to visit other servers, which "Should" have been disabled for Early Access, but SE didn't think of that so servers that are normally not congested are being hit with people that aren't even from those servers.

Yeah big queues are expected and anyone who wasn't expecting them was a fool. However I will agree the 2002 errors aren't really acceptable. Especially because it can be hours of queue time where you need to methodically baby sit the game to try to beat the grace period to log back in should you get the error and in some cases that doesn't even work. I got home around 3pm and Balmung had a 3200 queue. Fine. I'll feed the cats, make dinner etc while I wait. But at 1600 (and 40-50 mins later) or so I noticed a 2002 just by chance as I passed and quickly logged back in. In this case the placeholder system worked and I was back in around the same spot I was at. Then at 800, another 2002. Only this time when I tried to log back in I started getting it when I hit 'start' and so far I've been unable to even make it to the character screen again even after waiting a bit. So...that's frustrating. There are expected and unexpected problems that come with a popular game in a big expansion launch and we have a bit of both here.

I'm appalled at all the entitlement on this forum!

SquareEnix is a Poor Disadvantaged Multi-Billion Dollar Company with a Highly Successful Profitable FFXIV MMO Franchise, they can't just Procure more Servers and Make things better for subscribers. That's expens- because Covid-19, Semiconductor Shortage, <Insert Convenient Excuses>

dude, they are not a company that makes servers or parts. There is a massive semi conductor shortage. Wait time for them can be up to a year

Yea, but when you've got billions of dollars, you can always solve your problems with more money. And if you can't don't release a product that's going to quadruple your server load.

My work came into shit loads of money thanks to all the covid relief, no just throwing money at it does not make it just magically get stuff, and we are still constrained by internal timelines. We just like Square are not the only ones trying to purchase items that use super conductors.

lmao um I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. All these problems should have be solved years ago and should not exist today!

According to Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, the shortage has been clearing up for months. That's not an acceptable excuse.

You got source on that because my company is unable to get them in on time.
