Error 2002 is unacceptable

[Merrnryn]

Since 6 am (it's now near 4 pm) I will get down to 11 or 20 in the queue this last one was 1... ONE... ONE BLOODY PERSON. (Yes I'm angry) and every single swiving time it's a 4004 error that puts me back up to over 5k in the queue. This is incredibly unacceptable. I would have rather waited another month for the expansion for them to work out server issues. JP server primetime is 17 queue max I've gotten. How about pulling some of the server towers from the JP side and give them to NA.

I'm baffled that there are some people defending this, FF got a lot of attention for the past 3 months and somehow it was a surprise to SE that the servers would be full and they would have problems with it? How on EARTH no one on there thought "we should make a smart login system to prevent people getting booted to the end of the line if they dc in line", it's either incompetency or neglect. It's nothing to do with being entitled, actually, it is, I'm paying for this service and I should have it, specially when they have a huge team like they do, it's flat out unacceptable that literally none in their team had a work around about this, it's nothing to do with chips and shortage, it's not thinking ahead and having systems in place to alleviate the issues that could occur.

guys just unsub like me and come back when server is more stable. I feel a lot better after battling with lobby error and queue for last 2 days. I mean seriously, even Trident handled better on queue on Archeage handled better than this. While there were large queue, they didn't have neither lobby error or stupid queue system forget your queue number. For those who got disconnected bypass queue as well. So disappointed

Speaking of things loooooong overdue, it would be nice if on PC when you do get kicked out of the game (for whatever reason) you go back to a launcher that is still logged in.

Yeah I mean I kinda expected logging in to be tough, and have zero issues with long queues, and wasn't even gonna complain (even though it took me three hours to get in last night) but

Game hard crashed earlier, just spent an hour and a half in queue, went from 4300 down to under 2k in the queue... in that time I had three 2002 crashes and managed to make it back in time to keep my spot in line, but just now I got six 2002 errors in a row and now I'm up over 5500 in line again. I'm fine waiting til things chill out to like, really try to dig deep into anything, and I'm chill with getting less time in game because of a line, but when I'm getting randomly kicked out of line and also kicked all the way to the END of the line, even while actively babysitting the game? I'm a bit less chill with that.

Server issues aren't even a surprise, but if it's gonna be this bad, then the grace period on keeping your spot in line should be longer.

They knew about the problem and couldn't get more servers up and running due to the semiconductor shortage. They definitely shouldn't have people getting 2002ed though since the best option is to log into the queue and go out to eat or something, then come back.

Pretty much. If you want to play, you have to sleep during the day and/or make sure you log in during the night. I really should just be heading to bed instead of trying to get on, otherwise I'll be awake during the day, and that may mean I won't be able to play! Pretty frustrating for me, as I was at a lengthy story section, and had went afk just before due to something going on in RL. I don't expect to even get in for another hour and a half or two hours at the earliest, and I don't doubt I'll be kicked out due to this error, and thrown to the back of the line.

The same exact thing just happened to me. Got down to 1 and errored out. That one pissed me off. Waited so long just to get there. Now I'm at 3k. F that.

Leviathan's queue is back up, but because of the earlier incident where I went from 5000 to 1 (queue died) everyone got mass logged in if you were lucky (otherwise 3001 error and kicked to title screen). The queue does not advance at all now no matter what. I've been 439 for 15 minutes now and even got 2002'ed once.

Stormblood did periodic server restarts, surprised endwalker isnt.

I agree, the 2002 error is the most frustrating thing. I don't mind waiting, I don't like waiting the 2 hours, plan my evening around the likely 3 hour que time to get, only to get the 2002 error when under 1,000 to go only to be sent back to the 3,000+ que. It happened Friday night and now tonight (Saturday).

This is the most frustrating cause its like a carrot on a stick.. that seems just in grasp with patience, but than whipped back out of reach.
