Enough is enough

[Tridus]

Got into the queue tonight, booted, back in with 2000 more people in the queue... 45 minutes later booted with a 3001 error and now can't get back in with more 3001, so that queue slot is gone. That's the day over with play wise, because even if I get back into the queue now I won't have enough time to get through it and have any play time left. I started 2 hours before I wanted to play.

Does it suck? Yeah. Is SE scrambling to try and fix it? Yeah. I get the frustration, I'm feeling it right now. But it's people on the other end of this who are just as unhappy about the situation as we are. No one at SE wanted a launch where this happened.

People need to remember that and find better ways to vent their frustration than attacking SE. It won't help.

Here’s the thing about the Lodestone post. It talks about 2002 when trying to get into the queue. Nowhere in that topic does it even touch on 2002 while you are already in queue. That is the situation I want to hear them explain and give an update/fix on.

Fair point. Being that they are the same error code, my assumption is they have the same cause. Thus, increasing the capacity to 21,000 from 17,000 on the login servers may mitigate the issue somewhat. I will admit this is just an assumption however, and concede that SE has not given a concrete statement on this point. Guess we will see when they integrate these servers in whether it has helped.

To be fair what I wondered when I read of the increased capacity was "Is that enough? Won't be right back into the same errors if it is not?" Don't get me wrong I appreciate that they are trying. I just am a bit skeptical at this point that it will work. If the servers really are getting slammed as hard as I think they are I am not sure it is going to make any difference. I sincerely hope I am wrong and they have the numbers and know it will.

Been kicked out of queue 3 times today and I'm always back at roughly a 6k player queue. Been this way for 5 hours. I don't think I'm getting in today, I'm fed up at this point.

Yeah that's my situation. Somehow my best friend on the same server got in without a single disconnect, and was actually waiting for me in game. I got booted from the queue again, lost my spot, and now won't get in with any time left to play tonight even if I could get in the queue at all (and after another 20 minutes of 3001, I doubt it).

Just giving up to go watch something with my wife now. 2 hours in the queue with nothing but being kicked out of the queue to show for it is pretty demoralizing. It's okay to feel upset about it. Just try to direct it somewhere more positive than yelling at SE. I work in IT, I know how people feel on that end when stuff like this happens: it sucks. They're no happier than we are.

The problem is assuming that everyone is raging around because they are posting in a forum that basically is the correct place to post these frustrations. Right now I'm taking a dump. After this, I will also watch something with my wife. Honestly the only reason I decided to post was because I got sick of ppl defending square and being hostile and ganging up on ppl who are correctly venting their frustration.
