Server congestion - solutions wanted

[BluexBird]

These are all amazing chips and it's honestly rather sad that a game of this magnitude hasn't had these things implemented.

1. I absolutely HATE having to type in my password every single time. I also HATE the damn delay that happens every time I open the launcher.

2. This wouldn't really be an issue if the crashing wasn't so rampant, but I don't see why this would be a hassle. So yeah.

3. Honestly this seems a bit too janky, I don't feel we have to go this far.

4. Don't think I need to comment on this one - have a reconnect routine that keeps on trying if the connection drops. At least for a few minutes.

5. THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE! The fact that the game KICKS YOU from the program, forcing you to go through the launcher again... I will NEVER fucking understand this! This should be the FIRST thing they do.

6. I always thought there was a grace period, of a few minutes. The other day, when I was waiting on the queue, I got disconnected with the 2002 error. I immediately opened the game back up, but when I tried to get back on queue, it said there was an error with the login server, and closed my game. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES! I don't think I need to tell you how long the whole process is (running the launcher, entering password, waiting for launcher to process, pressing START, waiting for game to open, choosing your character), but imagine my shock when after all that, after I was finally able to get back into the queue, I noticed I was in the same spot before the 2002 error. I don't know how long it was, but I was extremely surprised. This also went on to happen 2 more times before I was able to finally get in.

7. Not sure how this one works, but it should be dealt with the same way as above. I noticed if you get DC'd from the game, it keeps you logged in. Not sure if when you try coming back it realizes this and allows you to bypass the queue.

It has grace period, that is 60 seconds. Its set to a ridiculously small amount. Consoles cant even load back in that time, also if you get 2002 more than one time, you wont make it, that means back to the end of the queue. Since it's (or should be) just a number in their settings, i dont get why they dont increase it to a more feasible number
