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

What is this junk? I don't think it's smart to release a product without basic conveniences.

Error 1017 is starting to piss me off, I've been locked out for 5 hours.

Beyond unacceptable honestly. And not a word from devs

Its painfully apparent they added the 1017 to lock people out completely as their temp fix, or else their queue that they promote all the time would be working.

Pretty annoying to come home from work and see this -still-.

Beta 4 understandable, hell even launch day, understandable. Now this is getting ridiculous, i dont know anyone that thinks they deserve more of our patience.

Error 1017 and there is no queue ??? i feel sorry for all the people who pre-ordered the game

[Jihiro_Kinara]

I think the queue may have a cap, 1017 is probably players that don't fit into the queue. I've managed to get in a few times but when I get dc or log out for a while I'm finding it difficult to get back in again.

It's frustrating, but there isn't much we can do about it. I have faith SE will find a solution to it soon, the game is worth waiting for, I'm sure you'll all agree. ^^

In trying to fathom the depths of SE's mind, I considered that, but no, there is no reason they need to create an error for locking out logins. A queue is enough. Someone logs off, someone logs in. They can set the threshold lower, so that even if you're #1 in the queue you might have to wait for 500 people to log off because the limit has been changed. In other words, this is just an inconvenience, plain and simple, to make it easy on SE so they don't have to create and/or maintain a functioning queue system. Because they don't give uh fuwk.

Agreed, this is beyond ridiculous. I don't mind waiting for maintenance or a que, but what the hell are we supposed to do with this? Better off just having instance servers being down that completely locking out people form doing ANYTHING.

I just got placed in queue of 200 player, for about 15 seconds then 1017. FU SE

edit that was after an hour of non-stop 1017 so I was pretty stoked to get in the queue.
