I don't accept your apology

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

That is my main issue, like they had plenty of time to know about this. As it was a issue months ago when the servers was pack. So we had plenty of time to understand the problem.

Having to babysit my queue is not reasonable when it takes hours. Not only that, one game DC should not punish players. It should be a buffer like 5 mins to get back in the game.

They already do understand the situation. But that doesn't mean they would have a Fix for it.
Just because you can think of one, doesn't automatically mean its a good idea, or would actually work. If things were THAT simple, they would be done. There are ALWAYS other Variables in play.

And if you arnt to busy name-calling and have a moment, IS your spot literally not being saved?
Because everytime I get the 2002 error and I have to Relauch the game, my spot gets saved. So this Solution of Yours that you claim is the Crux of your Rage here....is already in Place.

That or somehow on your end your doing something that stops this from happening to you.
Cause again, if I face an error in the queue, I get that "grace Period" and I get my spot back.

I don't accept that answer, why? Because they said nothing about it. They tell us everything else, yet they don't even mention this issue.


So in other words, unless they come out and tell us why the system they have now can't be changed. I'm going to assume they are incompetent.

The queue itself is not the issue.

What would you suggest them to do? I'm curious how you can make the servers better.

[Souyo]

Ahhh, the forums. My entertainment while waiting in this queue. Oh look, I'm down to 3,150 in the queue.

This has happened at literally every expansion, it even happened in 1.0 back in the day. Chill out everyone, use some of that patience, you'll get to play the game, don't worry.

[CazzT]

You people act like the game is broken beyond repair.

Please show us where this is the common mentality. I'll save you the trouble. No one is acting like this. Stop gaslighting.

The 2002 error saves my place literally everytime.

Oh look, another "This is what happens for me so everyone that says otherwise is lying" post.

If you are kicked to the login screen all you have to do is login again.

And I can tell you from not just personal experience, but more than a dozen FC mates and tons of posts on these forums and Steam forums that people who log back in after a 2002 or 4004 lose their place and get pushed to the back of the line. But again, since that hasn't happened to YOU, everyone it has happened to must be lying, right? Or you think they're saying the game is "broken beyond repair" even though literally no one is saying that.

I am on ps5 and have it set to automatically login. I dont have this issue where I lose my place.

You want an award or something? Good for you that you aren't suffering this frustration.

It happened like once and that's being generous.

So you were lying when you said "saves my place everytime." or you're lying that it "happened like once"? Which is it? Can't be both.

Like how hard is it to just join the Q and keep watch? It's not hard at all.

Proving you don't understand the problem. I mean, when you have the mentality that everyone is lying about what's happening (even when Yoshi has acknowledged the problem personally), I guess it's understandable you think it's some trivial matter.

And even then there's no rush with the expansion.

Irrelevant.

When congestion dies down you will perfectly be able to play with zero problems.

Ah yes, the old "I can get in fine, sucks to be you, you'll get to play eventually, suck it up" attitude.

Perhaps if you took even a microsecond to consider how people dealing with a problem you claim you've never experienced are feeling, you might be able to understand why people are frustrated. But naaaaah, easier to subtly imply they're all liars and gaslight them.

While I've been keeping my over all opinion on everything to myself. I have memed abit but I say this as someone who's been unable to play the entire weekend but a few hours on friday. This sucks. The 2002 error to be clear. THAT shit can go to hell. But I'm just waiting in que... not anything I can do about it you know. I WILL remember this when everyone is praising the hell outta EW like the greatest thing since Shadows and HW. But like HW this will forever be a negative like HW will forever be remembered for nearly killing raiding for this game. Never forget.

snip

fair enough, and i'm not even disagreeing with you. like I feel a lot differently in general but you are entitled to feel the way you do, and you do offer valid points, that's totally reasonable.
it's just that loads of people sadly don't do the same, or do it in a way that reminds me of trashy reality tv stars, allways just screaming and attacking people, that's what irks me. criticising the launch for what it is (problematic to say the least) ist fair. stating "listen, i'm unhappy, i hope this get fixed soon, else i will have to take my money elsewhere" is fair. my main issue is with people unable to argue like adults and instead turning to throwing a tantrum like a toddler, and sadly these threads are full of those.

[Jadedsins]

When you get the error code. Have the game retry to put you back into queue. Not close the game out.


When you dc from game. Add a buffer to get back in the game without a queue


That is it. Them two small changes would make this easier to deal with and less stress for everyone.

Hey, if that's your take away, that's your take away. You're right though... Never Forget...

Imagine if OP and the people crying in all these threads had the balls to delete their char, quit, and fully unsub. There wouldn't be a queue to worry about then. Don't worry though, canceling FF cancels their own life so all bark and no bite.
