How is there an error 1017? Has SE never heard of a queue?

[DarthVader]

Just got error 1017....
my whole enthusiasm to start playing this weekend has gone from HAPPY
to ANGER in a matter of 29 hours. I have not played for not even two hours consecutively before, being kicked out by errors, forced out by maintenance, or sitting like an idiot watching the intro movie over 20 times...
Im so disappointed right now, i dont know how to feel anymore. SE PLEASE JUST STOP everything FIX IT and then go back online... quit doing everything HALF ass, people are already pissed off. Take the servers down, add new ones do what you need to do and open shop again

This 1017 is too much.

SE COME ON!!!!! Why don't you expand server's capacity????? Getting tired of this 1017.

1017 for me as well. I have been trying to login constantly clicking on it for 40+ minutes with no sign of something different.

I think they limited the amount logged in at a time now to like 1/2 or 2/3 the amount of what they allowed before. Its the only thing they can do to stop them from crashing it seems.

Many of the people in my FC getting 1017 are showing up in-game in FC list. (hours after they were kicked) It's similar to 3102 without the 3102 error.

I hope Yoshida has ordered some new hardware because come Tuesday those servers are gonna get SMASHED.

Not if they heard about the 1017 errors...

I gave up after about 4 hours of getting this message, while casually trying to log in. Yes, I'm upset. Beta 4 should have been longer. But I'm just gonna come back to the game tomorrow or Tuesday night, and hope a fix actually fixes something.
