Error 2002 is unacceptable

[NefarioCall]

The problem is compounding.
Because I know that I can't trust to get back in, I logged in at 8am this morning to a queue of 71 players and waited 2 minutes, and then was afraid to log out under any circumstances for the rest of the day. I didn't cheat the AFK timer. I just kept playing lol. Like, I played while I cooked, I played while I ate, I played in-between chores. I never left the game for more than a few minutes cuz I just kept coming back to play it ... to move one step further. I didn't play at full speed. I just kept playing.

Then my internet disconnected accidentally, and when I tried to log back in, 7,400 player queue ... which is a problem because it also means players will be afraid of accidental D/C's. I'm certain the queue is so long in part because people are afraid to log out. THEN, I have to babysit the thing for the periodic 2002 error, and when I get it, I immediately log back in several times until I can get back into the selection screen because I'm afraid that If I don't, I'll increase my chances of being bumped to the back of the line, which puts more strain on the system.

Then you'd say, well, just give up right? Wait till another day.But I can't do that, it's a battle of attrition at this point. SE screwed this up and that's exactly why I have to stay in the queue.
All they needed to do was to make sure people could get a place in line and be able to depend on keeping it and be protected in case of a D/C on their end for at least 5 minutes.

Everything else is great though lol

The 2002 error is frustrating. But if you log back in quickly enough, it puts you back where you were in the queue. It's the 4004 error that is completely unacceptable because it has a bad habit of happening when you're #1 in the queue and then it sends you ALL the way back and makes you wait hours again.

The bs part is that you have to log back without encountering another 2002, otherwise it is too late to retain the position. Thus another layer of rng we have to deal with.

I've actually gotten 2002 a few times trying to log back in and have always maintained my place in the queue. So far anyway.

This is becoming a joke, pre-order bonus 5 hours getting kicked from queue

Twice now over the past few hours I've gone from 4.8k to less than 1k and received this error. Knocked back to 4.8k each time. Sad

[Mesarthim]

I got in, after SIX hours of queue babysitting and 3 queue resets. The final queue was 5.5k which had...:

3 lobby errors, one 20 second power outage (that one was at least on my end), around 12 data center lobby errors, and somehow even after all of that it let me keep my spot. You're only getting in by sheer RNG or in the quietest of hours.

i agree, they were very transparent about not being able get servers and warned us they expected to get hammered at launch so i respect them for the honesty... but, when you a consistently booted out of the line and forced to start over at the end it becomes pointless to keep trying, they should have put in a way to keep your place in line.

[Phaty]

If you log right back in if you get a 2002 you will get your spot back

[DesdemonaVae]

Alright, I have to say, this 2002 situation is unacceptable.

I can understand huge wait queues. I can understand lack of servers.

In both regards, I walk away and come back 5 hours later. I've played through MMO releases before, that isn't new and is understandable.

However, what I can't comprehend is why my client closes every time it receives a connectivity issues.

Or

While waiting in queue I periodically get connectivity issues.

Or

Why I can't even access the queue because of connectivity issues.


This release should have been delayed further and this issue addressed.

I cannot stand in front of my computer for hour after hour attempting to log in. Requiring me to be in front of my computer, constantly entering my passwords, attempting to enter the queue only to be thrown out... or worse, finally getting into the queue to only be thrown out... or even worse, getting to the FRONT of the queue only to be thrown out (Anyone else get stuck at 1?).

I really do love this game... but I haven't seen a release this bad since 2003. That's truly not an exaggeration.
