Launcher login issues

[Moraras]

I got booted from the game around 10:30 am eastern time. Upon trying to log back in, i'm getting either:

A system error has occurred: -2146697211
HTTPS System Error

or I can put my login credentials in but hitting play does nothing.

Trying to ping the Crystal Datacenter results in full packet loss.

Speaking with a fellow FC member from the same state as I am (Pennsylvania) and on the same ISP (Comcast); they too are having the same issues.

I am also having this issue and have been unable to log in for the past hour.

Also same issues, also in Pennsylvania using Xfinity (comcast)

[TigressStar]

Xfinity, Maryland here. Maybe it is an East Coast issue?

[Rousseau]

Same issue. Also PA, also Comcast. Tried checking the XIV Twitter account to see if there was an explanation, and lo and behold, all of Twitter is also largely unresponsive. lol

I got booted to and I thought it was my pc I was going insane trying to find a fix, hope its fixed soon i have a venue to work at today.

I am only having issues trying to log into my main character on Light (Phoenix)

I can get through to NA/JP DC's... however if I try to access Light/Chaos... I get a "Lobby Error"
