Realistically, when will the 2002 and que issue be resolved?

[Vav2021]

Been having a rough few days, and have been a little overwhelmed with real life stuff. Oh Hyperion, the ques are easily still in the thousands. I usually play the game at night to help me wind down, and the que is so long that by the time I'm 3/4 to the goal of being first, i'm dreadfully exhausted, if the que isn't interrupted with the errors.

I'm glad that FFXIV is popular, and I'm glad there will be many more people to play with, but as it stands, the game is borderline unplayable, and I've only managed to play maybe 4 hours this week. My optimism is dying down, and being replaced with frustration.

In short: Realistically, when will this game be fixed and playable again?

I have to agree this is getting old. I work and would like to play but cant. I waited 2 hours to get on tonight went to bathroom for 10 mins and got DCed and put back to 2500 in queue. Got mad and just gave up for the night.

im hoping the "Chip Shortage" meme is just a meme.

are.. you suggesting people are making up the worldwide chip shortage that is affecting nearly every industry?

Or just that the chips are the ONLY reason that there's a problem.. cause that is a meme. The problem is severely compounded by the shortage.. but there are other factors.

I haven't heard much about anything other than the chip shortage.

Considering the amount of spam about it on the forum, not surprising.

The actual problem is that server upgrades were delayed and reactionary expansion was not possible due to the shortage. In addition we have probably the largest surge in player count ever, something like triple the amount of active users expected. The servers were not on track to deal with this and the lack of capability to react has made it worse.

Basically the population way outstripped anyones possible forecast for usage right when it suffered delays to all the planned upgrades.

Damn people are this dumb they think current events are memes for fun entertainment.

The chip shortage issue is annoying when the player base use it for an answer about everything.
Even though I don't have your issue op, my friends do and I play mmos with my friends, so if my friends can't do what I can do. Aka wake up around 3 to 6 am and play. Than the game is less enjoyable for me.
The errors is my main concern. Even if it got some better. We need a grace period for getting dc in game, to get right back in.

The errors are from server load. Server load is caused by lack of servers. Lack of servers is caused by the current lack of semi conductors combined with SE's lack of preparation at an earlier time.
They didn't try to obtain servers earlier so they are screwed thus we are. Not much can be done about it now.
And we do not need a better grace period. It already takes 6 hours to get online on gilgamesh during peak hours. Increasing grace period would just make that longer.

As much as the player base use it as an excuse for everything. It has kinda become a meme for sure.

We don't like how the queue system is coded.

Chip shortage.

Why is no grace period when we dced out of game.

Chip shortage.


Like serious?

Turning real life problems into memes shows the stupidity of adults and children today. And if you read beyond that I clearly stated SE's lack of preparation in part of the chip shortage was the problem.
SE has had server issues for a while, they should have added additional servers during Shadowbringers as the player base was growing at a steady rate.
This is not an actual coding issue, as again the amount of connections trying to hit the servers is to much for it to handle. It is as if the server is being DDOSed during these peak hours and it eventually craps. There is not really a magic code fix to this other then to prevent connections and requests to the server completely once the limit is reached but that solves nothing but possibly prevents 2002 in the queue. Adding a grace period to disconnects just increases the length of which you are in queue, trying a connection for few minutes same result. The things you are suggesting do not actually resolve any issues but in fact make them worse.
But you are to stupid and ignorant to think logically and think everything has to be a meme or an excuse.

Log in client closing on 2002 is stupid I can agree and that is something they can fix.

Once again the reality of the situation is SE did not procure servers when they should have, and we are in this situation of waiting for them to be able to. There is little they can do outside of that.

Same, but for me I was watching a show on my other monitor and got a little too focused on it and got DC'd, and by the time I noticed and logged back in I got put in a 4500 queue

I really hate how you can't do anything that diverts your attention too much or makes you leave your desk because of the 2002's
