Getting frustrating at the 2002 and losing queue position

[RmtumTugger]

Tech Support - according to you the 2002 error occurs only when there are 17,000 people in the queue and prevents more people from joining the queue. And early this morning the limit was increased to 21,000. This does nothing to explain why all of us ALREADY IN THE QUEUE keep getting 2002 errors, kicked out and have to start over at the end of the queue and hope that this time hours of waiting will pay off.

The problem you're fixing isn't the problem we're having!

Your "unstable internet" explanation is also crap. Its the exact same hard-wired high-speed connection I used to play the game without any issue. If you're saying that the login queue is MORE susceptible to packet loss than the game or any streaming music/video, or conferencing service I've ever used then you did a really shitty job of making the login queue stable.

Adding my +1 to the frustration queue. The 2002 boss still hitting me pretty hard. Managed to get down to the 2000's with several DC's but just got back into queue at almost 6000.

Being a wow refugee I'm sort of used to server issues the first few days of release. I'm not even logging in to play Endwalker stuff as I'm only 22 lol.

Hoping to be able to play some this weekend I hope.

Good luck all with your error 2002/lobby boss battles.

Why can't the queue position be stored for more than what seems like a few seconds? This seems like basic programming and would help a lot. I just went from 500 to 7200 after reloading almost immediately. It takes me about 6 hours to log in if I want to play. Your excuses provided are only highlighting poor programming. You need to fix the errors and not wait for them to go away.

"Maybe actively kick all those Chibas, Jade characters, and that Cat guy who stands around and dances in one spot around Lamia and it might help."

i would really like to know how they are still logged in being afk all the time...

i play on PC and i had to walk away for a bit to tend to one of my kids. I was afraid to go AFK since they are supposed to boot people after a bit. I put a rubberband on the controller to have myself run into a wall and when i came back to the game after what i thought was 15 minutes i had a system message that said i was going to be logged out for inactivity. I don't get it, my dude was still running in the corner. It sucks that i cannot go AFK for a bit to take care of IRL stuff without fear of being kicked and then forced to wait for hours and go through this 2002/4004 cycle for logging in while these people can just sit there and dance all day and take up a spot on the server. it is just frustrating.

What changed was them doing half assed and rushed maintenance.

They have known of this surge in players since June, the server i am on has literally had a queue every day since June so the "recent" garbage can stop. Also as to chip shortage, um cloud hosting? if it was known the servers would not handle the load and that parts were not available then why was a hosting service locked in for the new instances or to provide hosting for new servers? Then no issues with procurement for hardware. Yes it would have taken effort, yes it would have been a large cost and yes it would have taken non traditional thought but these issues were avoidable. Hey bare all of that since they knew the preorder numbers they could have delayed until servers were ready. Content is polished and is amazing, everything else is a dumpster fire.

They would need to recode the whole thing and cloud is not an better. Oh you also still need hardware for it.

Oh you also still need hardware for it.

This is why third parties exist.

This is why third parties exist.

And what 3rd party is going to give them the hardware they need? You guys keep come up with things that are pipe dreams right now.

It's this. Long queues are A-OK with me, but having to babysit the queue and hope that you catch the inevitable 2002 kick as soon as it happens it's ridiculous, and on top of that, they are saying it is OUR connection doing it, which means, they are not going to fix it, at all.
