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

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm pretty sure the queueing system was broken by the update they did earlier. I finally got popped into the que and there was only 12 people in it, after 15 minutes of 1017 errors.

they pushed launch back to Thursday apparently? At least that's what I read on the front page about early access being till thursday now.
