Why even bother queing, what a joke system

[Greenshaw]

Sat through a 2 hour que while getting various tasks done on my computer. I got down to sub 700 and decided to walk my dog so I can play for 2-3 hours without interruption. Get back to my computer and im error 2002 and now in a 5k que. What a terrible que system that lets people get thanos snapped out of line.

Meanwhile I can't past the loading screen without "error 2002"... Got in for about 10-ish minutes with a 4k queue before being booted out with, you guessed it, "error 2002"

Kept getting the 2002 error while trying to get into the data center several times. Finally made it past that bottle neck and make it into the queue at around 4600. Around every 100 or so that the queue drops that nasty 2002 error hits and I quickly log back into the data center to not lose my place in queue. Get to around 3700 and 2002'ed again after an hour of the previously mentioned. Try to reconnect to data center only to be met with 2002 over and over again. Finally get past that and find my place in the queue is gone and have to start all over, and now the queue is at 6625.

I don't mind waiting in a queue, even an extremely long one, as long as there is a guarantee that that time will have a payoff. The fact that a player can be kicked out of the queue is ridiculous but at least there is a grace period you can get back in. Of course what's worse is if you can't connect to your data center due to that same 2002 error, that queue spot is gone and all that time completely wasted. I've suffered through some pretty rough launches of games but this might close to the top for me.

In true JP fassion, Square has managed to not be able to come up with a modern login solution for their MMO..

not having a reconnect button after a DC is just inexcusable at this point.. even wow has that.

If WOws so great then why are they not packed with overflowing servers? Could it be no ones playing that trash cuz they got a taste here?

[Ocicatthedruid]

He wasn't talking about the play experience of WoW versus FF14, he was talking about how outdated the login is for FF14 compared to WoW. Has nothing to do about quality of the games but rather the ability to access the games through the login. And he's right.

I've been reset from under 1000 back to 6000 3 times today. I get the servers are stressed but do something to remember people's position in queue this is a complete joke.

[Morphiana]

I feel like to get the queue moving they need a timer on playtime per session*.

Example:

Play 8 hours straight, get booted off and have to login back in / join the queue.

It would suck but at least the queue would be flowing better and 8 hours is reasonable.

With a queue flowing a bit better getting booted / forced to re-log may not be that bad.

I don't understand how we can't get a ticket or something connected to our account. Or something similar to a call back instead of waiting on hold on the phone for hours.

Sat through another 1k que to 2002 yet again and then tried 11 times to even back to login que and I cant even do that now. Jeez people get paid to make this crap que system?
