How difficult can it be...

uh... huh...

storing things client side is never a bad idea... just ask New World.

This is literally common practice on much of the web. You're probably criticizing someone who knows significantly more than you do lol.

edit:

I also work in software engineering as an architect and full stack developer. You're spot on.

This is by FAR the smoothest mmo launch I've seen In years! Sure there's a que ,like literally every single mmo release beforehand, but once your in your in. I've not had a single DC or any lag whatsoever.

That and the fact that the story is beautiful. If your mad about ques idk what to tell you. Maybe mmos aren't your thing? Or your a nee mmo player? Since anyone whose played even a single mmo during a release window knows that ques are inevitable.

Ahhh for sure, I played 1.0 and I agree with you - at least for those in, the game works pretty good and the expansion is great.

If only they worked a bit more on a more robust login management setup

Queues are fine, but getting kicked out of the game and starting the queue over, or losing your spot over the 2002 error because "your internet is bad and you are losing packets" is just poor excuses and short sighted unfortunately. Sound like 2002 indeed, the year though.

I hope you're trolling or joking. LOL. This is by FAR the WORST mmo launch in the last 5 years. Hiding behind massive que times for server stability is not a smooth launch.. far from it. Most other games open the flood gates, but more people can play. SE really screwed up on this one, because they refuse to spend money on server capacity. They have been selling us BULL since the moment Yoshi P was crying, because of the delayed launch. This is an issue that could've been avoided with a little of our $ that they get every month. Instead, they give us a week of free NON- gaming time, but i fear they will have to give more, and end up wasting more money in the long run.

Most people are not sitting in these ques for hours and hours they will be going to other games, and maybe they'll forget about FFXIV all together once they get sucked in. This is a HUGE failure for SE and the SE Keyboard warriors are running out of ways to defend their favorite gaming company that could do no wrong.

upgrade your servers SE, spend the money. /end rant.

I've gotten 2002'd 4 times in a row before, and it still saved my spot. No idea why so many people are having issues with it

I guess reading comprehension is not your strongest trait. People are not mad about the queues. They are mad because they are being disconnected from the queues and if they are not the flash, or if they actually have a life outside of the game, then they get kicked back to the end of the queue.

If the ONLY complaint you has involves the que than be thankful! I'd far prefer any number of problems with the que over problems with things that actually matter. You know like gameplay, story etc.

The que problems will be easily solved. Problems with the core cannot. So yes all your problems with the que, whichever form it takes, matters little.

Had the exact same thing happen to me today as well. Logged in early because I knew the queue was going to be bad landed at 3700 ish and after about 2.5 - 3 hrs of babysitting the queue screen for possible errors, I got down to about 800. I had to get up to take care of something real quick and when I came back I been dc'd / error screen. I tried to log back in asap but when I did I was over 5500 in queue. It took little over 3 hrs to go from 3700 to 800, now I'm looking at another 3-4 hrs to actually get in. I understand the situation atm and I sympathize with both the player base and the people at SE. I really wish they would get this back under control it's been going on long enough imho.

[Roxiu]

Anyone who says they understand what going on, then turn around and complain about how the system is flawed is not understanding of the situation at all. On the contrary, that aggravated emotions that are trying to be logical but can't process it that way because emotions are in the way of the logical thought process.

You're either being willfully ignorant or you honestly don't know how to comprehend what you're reading.
