No QUEUE, just 1017. Forever.

I guess I'm one of the luckier ones as I've only been stuck with that error for almost 7 hours now. I managed to play for about 30 minutes today then the servers started to hate me. What's even more frustrating is that I've been able to hear my brother play the game the entire day without any issues.

personally the not knowing when/if the limitations will be lifted is driving me up a wall! being kicked off due to the instanced quests and unable to log back in is not nearly as bad if i know that i can't get in for the next "X" hours.

in 1 hr we will allow more log in's then every hour following that would even work for me



Some info other then "hey were limiting things" any info would be better at this point I have been waiting 5 hours to get back in.

Yep 1017 since around 2 pm.

I had this same issue in beta 4 - and it was "fixed" with the 3102 "fix". So is SE going to acknowledge that they really didn't fix the underlying cause or are they just going to ignore people - and this isn't just New players, it is Legacy Players as well.

Today I was in the game leveling my conj, and to no surprise "Booted" got the 90000 error, tried to relog then got the 1017 error, closed everything relaunched the game, got to character select screen and waaalaaaa oh, the 1016 error saying world data cannot be found. Got the 1016 error about 10 times before i gave up and went made dinner came back about 30 minutes later and yes...you guessed it. 1014 error saying world data cannot be found, then I tried again about 15 minutes after that and now I have gotten the 1017 error yet again after i was 1300+ in que for a couple mins waiting. LMFAO this has been the absolute worst prelaunch/early access experience I've ever had out of the 15+ yrs of playing MMOs.

WAIT UNTIL LAUNCH DAY, IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE WHEN THE NEW INFLUX OF PLAYERS TRY TO ALL LOGIN TO THE GAME WAY TO GO SE FOR PREPARING FOR THE WORST. SOMETHINGS NEVER CHANGE.

Hmm after barley making it through 58 hours of error code 3102 only to think to myself hmm lets see if 1017 will it beat its time shall we....

I get home from work and this is what happens? I can't believe they would just remove the queue. This isn't even early access, this is beta phase 5.

Welcome to beta phase 5 everybody!

[VioletGerald]

I have been rinse/repeating 1017 errors all day. Last time I got into the game was this time last night.

My husband gets queued, was playing for hours.

We log off, go to a D&D group for a few hours.

Come back, he gets queued and then plays with no issue. Friends confirmed people have been AFKing for hours in towns to boot.

I still get 1017. Might as well be Beta Phase Five.

I haven't played for a single minute. All day.

Eff you, Square Enix. I am seriously debating returning my pre-order, because it's not going to get any better at launch.

I am normally not the guy who comes to the form and whine about everything.

I can also understand having a limiter for testing purpose even thou it suxs.

BUT removing the queue is just a very bad move.
And doing that will force players to stay online, even thou they are not playing.

I mean, everyone knows that there is a limiter on the player count, i would not even log out when i go to bed knowing that. Cause the fear to not being able to log in for the next 10 hours is to big.

For myself, i am unable to log in since 6 1/2 hours now, due to server full (and an in between maintenance).

I could see how it'd be good for testing purposes, too. However, this was not meant to be beta phase 5. It was meant to be early access for people who pre-ordered.
