So what happens Aug 27th with Error 1017?

[MyMe]

I love it when I can't even play a game I buy. Can't play it now, and can't even imagine what kind of chaos tomorrow is going to bring. Which is a terrible shame because the game itself is awesome...

lol thats me after taking 25mins to log in and then heading to the forums.

The irony is that there have been hundreds of posts about people quitting, wanting their money back, but the servers continue to have problems. Reason being, all those people, are still trying to play.

Not really. It's true that a lot of people have already decided to move on to other games. The main reason for the server being full is because se decided to limit the log in because they cant handle the players


So lets say it started with 6000players with 5000players limit, shit happened error occurs 2000 players quit. What se did is they changed the limit to like 2000 players so servers would still look like they are over populated

The thing that I hate most about the error 1017 approach that SE is going with is that you CAN get into the game. I use a PS3 controller and just spam log-in for about 10 minutes... I'll eventually get in.

If there was a queue, I imagine that it would take significantly longer than that to get in, so I'm essentially cutting in line. Error 1017 rewards people with PS3 controllers (much easier to spam than on keyboard) and lets people cut in line. If they just bring back queues, people will be mad, but at least they know they will eventually get in.

this. only reason i'm even using a controller (pc) is so i can spam the login quicker.

I used to like the title screen. It was a gateway to possibilities during beta. Now... it's a barrier to the game and I hate looking at it.

So what happens tomorrow when more people try to play the game are they adding more servers? This is getting ridiculous waiting 4hrs+ to try to get into the game and when I do get on for like 2 1/2hrs i get 90k error. But there are a lot of people AFK 6-12hrs while they are at work and they don't get kicked. This sucks, I should have went to a jp server.

Of all the MMO's I've played, i recall no other, had this abyssmal log in restriction and server overflow issues, not even the so hyped SWOTR back then.

I can understand it's not an easy task to deal with but, the "We apologize for the inconvinience" is no longer good and truly getting old... We need actions and solutions to speak for themselves. I can't imagine at this rate how launch date it's going to be.

I can symphatize with people's frustration at this stage of "Early access". However, as much as i love this game, this is getting absurd.
