What do we want? (Response to congestion)

[Macleod]

I would also like them to address ongoing 90006 errors that seem to be getting worse the longer we go, and having to requeue from the beginning because there's absolutely no grace period. Numerous reports have been filed of bad hops with NTT right before hitting the game servers. They should be working with them to resolve these issues as well.

I won't say no one has had that problem, but I feel you're greatly exaggerating it. I'm on your data center and have had a grand total of one d/c. The queues on the login server are ongoing obviously, but the world servers themselves have been smooth. Most people do not post on the forums, and those that do tend to post the same exact thing over and over, as if that will somehow magic servers (which they've been trying to get for months) into existence.

Prety much agree with everelse that, yes, this is enough, providing they follow through. I don't really know what else they can do, getting new servers which is the only real solution will take time.

As for what the roadmap should look like.
In my opinion. An additional NA datacenter, 4-6 more servers and a reshuffle to even them out. Potentially split across two different sides, east and west coasts.
EU could maybe get away with just 2-4 servers, we already have fewer servers per DC.
Then Oceania is already planned, which should solve any issues on the JP side.

That as a minimum should be 'enough'.

God, remember when they split the EU I to 2 data centers and people got upset because it was lower population? Can you imagine if EU was still just 1 DC?

I am most content with the answers and compensation, as are friends. I can understand though why many may not be as I quite enjoy my time playing.

Attempting to sound not rude in a language that is not native to me here, many apologies if I seem so!

I would like to see commitment from Square to re-evaluate the ability of their development team, especially their system administrators. I wished to post more on this point however require hot black liquid first. Coffee to blood ratio is tooooooo low.

Multiple people in my FC also getting 90k'd and not posting about it on the forums says otherwise. There's plenty of info about the high ping and packet loss at NTT that has been going on since well before Endwalker started.

Honestly, I feel like Square-Enix is taking the path I'd want them to take in regards to the issues suffered by the players. They've been keeping us informed on what's going on and what they're trying to do to fix it short of getting more servers (due to factors beyond their control).

[Mirhd]

and not posting about it on the forums says otherwise.

You're suggesting people not posting means the majority are getting disconnected? What? Further, while I acknowledged already that it's not as if no-one is having issues, it most definitely is an exaggeration, unlike the queues. A number of people in your FC experiencing some d/cs does not indicate something is widespread. That's not how that works.

[Arazehl]

I really don't think any other mmo wouldn't have bothered to do what SE is trying to do. As a company they've not lost my respect and I appreciate them keeping us informed on the issues. I plan to give them the time they've asked for out of that respect and if others don't wish to, then they have a choice to back away.

I'm pretty happy with what we got now. I mean, sure, the login errors are a mess but at least they are addressing the problems.
Of course, there's always people who are all "lol just code more servers".
