Getting frustrating at the 2002 and losing queue position

[KiraTatsuHime]

I was in queue for 3 hours.. down to 1700 in line... then 2002 again. I've been successfully managing the multiple events by quickly logging back in to hold my spot in line. Well this time.. I can't even connect to the data center. Sometimes even babysitting doesn't work

It's unacceptable as a company to allow that we, the people who pay to keep servers running, are not offered some level of protection within the queue. When I'm at 700 players in line, after already waiting 3 hours from when I logged in, to get a f'ing 2002 error, and am placed back in f'ing line at 6000. Looks like I'm not f'ing playing your game today, which is like MANY OTHER DAYS. Makes me want to un-sub and go back to WoW. At least with their servers, they can keep people logged in to their server while waiting in the queue.

I feel your pain. Third time losing queue now. This last time I was at 192....192! Then I couldn't reconnect back in time due to server errors and now I am FURTHER back in the queue then previously at 4k+

today i got in queue for around 3hours. but no errors at all. so i could do laundry, groceries and all this stuff while waiting.
it feels a bit better around these days

So I did some simple data points for my experience with the game so far. Once I hit my 3rd error last Saturday, I started counting, and I was already counting hours played/waiting in queue before that.

From 12/3 to 12/9, I had spent 29 hours in queue, experienced 23 errors/disconnects, and played 6 hours, but only on the 3rd. Moving to a wired connection on Wednesday helped, I only experienced 5 disconnects over those days, though the time I could spend in queue was shorter due to real world obligations, so I still ended up not playing. (I did not try on the 10th or today, I have other things at awkward times that wouldn't have made waiting in any queue feasible).

On a positive note, I've gotten a lot done this week! Don't think my kitchen has even been cleaner! And I recognize that there isn't much that can be done to fix this at the moment, but it was interesting to look at the numbers today.

This is getting beyond ridiculous now. I've been a faithful subscriber for 8 years almost. One of the things I love about this game is you've been able to maintain a normal life and still play/progress. I haven't even been able to play more than an hour because I work and can't alt tab from the game. You've also got people actively abusing your afk system to keep a spot in line, but I don't blame them: you created this issue.

It's beyond frustrating. I'm a crafter and the biggest turn around on crafting profits is in the first few days of the expac. Already prices have bottomed out and that window is gone.

Frankly seven days of game time is not enough, especially since the issue is still ongoing. Square should not charge any customer for the game until they can actually provide a stable environment to accommodate.

Fixing your issue is this simple:
-AFK timer decreased to 10 minutes. If you can't play give someone who can a shot.
-No more 2002. I understand it's a safety feature but it honestly just creates this privileged elite who find ways to stay in the game forever while those who can't stay logged onto the computer suffer. The absolute most annoying thing about this is even the 8 hour queues that are presently on our server can't be waited in due to 2002. You literally will get booted out.
-Suck it up and buy higher priced servers. You're going to lose customers if you don't.

I have to agree with opening the new server and free transferring in current situation

I've been having a slightly different problem the past few days, usually I've been playing around 3-7AM and I would be able to get into the game with relative ease...but that isn't the issue. Its when I'm playing the game that I get randomly punted out like every 10-15 mins, and sometimes maybe 20 minutes if I'm lucky.

Then it got so bad it was around every couple minutes, seems to happen way more often when I do TRUSTs instead of Duty Finder Players (why this is the case I have no idea).

I got so frustrated today I quit for the rest of the day to do other things.

Hell

I tried to into get into AREA 5 one time and every single instance was full apparently, that is literally never happened before since I've been playing this. Now imagine if you will if you logged out in that zone and tried to log in...(yeah that wouldn't be good) unless they have some kind of measures in place that I'm not aware of.


Just to meme for a sec here..

I was able to get in! Then, I had a call from one of my family members concerning the holidays. I took too long and was logged out. Now sitting at 4042. I just can't win!

[FunkyBunch]

I'm starting to get upset too. Twice today waited from 4k to 1k, then got booted and couldn't reconnect and sent back to 4k again. Waste of an entire day. This is an absolute travesty.

[ibiteyourankle]

Well, at least (for me right now) I haven't gotten kicked yet
