Game disconnected me and back in the queue!

[Roxiu]

I spent 13 hours trying to get into this game, yesterday. I can't sit at my PC the entirety of the time during queue, though; I have a 10 month old who needs my attention too. So, not only did I have to restart my queue multiple times because of that ridiculous error 2002 (I don't even understand how they can say it's on our end, when I don't have connection problems anywhere else...) but, I got into the game 2 times, the first crash I got was almost immediately when I logged in (alt tabbing while waiting for my duty queue) and then when I got back in at midnight, I got to the end of MSQ roulette, and error 9002'd on the final fight, and thrown back into the queue. I wasn't able to play the damn game until 1am CST. It's disgusting...

However, as painful as this experience has been, I do want FFXIV to succeed, and I do want to play the game. It's just hard to balance life with the state of this game.

They never said it was ONLY on your side, they've explained it multiple times how the 2002 error occurs. Short version, too many people hitting the login queue at once (I think 17,000 or 21,000 if they have brought up their backups) OR if you have a temporary packet loss. Either way, it is NOT your fault. No, you're not being punished for it even if it feels that way.

Far as random DCs the only thing YOU can do is make sure you're hardwired if possible and that you've paid your internet bill. Best situation is just that, the best scenario.

This should be on the list of QoL things in the game outside of expansion issues. FF14 looks really good from a distance, but don't look too close and don't look in the corner over there. And the apologists would say the game needs to be shutdown for a year to fix any of these issues.

I was queued for 4 hours...Got into the game and was happily playing and leveling my bard.
I then randomly get kicked off the game and I'm back in a 6,000 queue!! Why is there not a grace period when getting kicked off the actual game!!??! Absolute nonsense.

The 2002 errors are bad enough, but getting disconnected in game and then having to requeue is ridiculous!

This literally just happened to me just now. Got into que of 4.2K. It got down to 2.1K, error 2002, tried to get back on twice and still error. After the third try I got back in que but it is now 4.2K again. Talk about pissed right now.

Today came home at 2:30, in queue of 4k, managed to get in at 5:48, played for 25 min got kicked out and into a queue of 6k, wont be back on tonight, so spent 25 min in game.. Its not even funny anymore..

got that error 5 min ago....5k queue ....oh well.

I don't mind the queue, but even if this slows it down a bit, it REALLY should be added. Yeah, I get it, I might have to wait 2-3 hours to get in, but if I disconnect after waiting that long, it should give me at least 2 minutes to log back and get back to the game.

Every other game has it, and it's really only sensible.

I swear, every one of these threads there's always that 1 person with a half attempted non argument ready to be first response I guess just to make people angrier.

[Tridus]

Yeah. I only found out about this yesterday when I got disconnected in game after a 3 hour queue and put back into... what was probably a 4 hour queue at that point. More time queued then playing and losing your spot immediately is awful.

It also means if someone gets disconnected in a dungeon there's no point in waiting for them: they literally can't come back. That didn't used to be the case.

It's incredibly frustrating.
