1017 and Timeline

[Shadowwolf15]

The sever expansions are coming this week. It's not that easy to just throw in some random code without testing it. It would likely take longer than a week or two to even implement an afk kick. We all know how much QQing goes on around here; if they implemented something like that this quickly and it caused another server bug, everyone would by crying about how SE screwed up again.

If they beta tested longer than just 4 weekend phases then they would have been more prepared is my opinion. The last beta test should have started far sooner and lasted at least a month and not just on the weekend. Then they could have been more prepared for this. I get what you are saying but the we didnt expect this excuse is getting dry.

yay labor day weekend here in the US and guess what, WE CANT LOG IN...of course Square doesn't care the jp servers are up and running with some minor congestion problems that they fixed over night. instead of posting well were off to play see ya in the world or all these posts of little issues that wont come in to effect til next patch how about everyone works together to fix the afkers and gold spammers causing the congestion. What point is there in being able to sort your inventory or any minor "quality of life improvements" if you cant even log in.

I live in Japan and play on Japanese servers and I can't login either (for the past 2 nights), our primetime is just as bad as NA/EU primetime, and yes its very frustrating and my patience is running thin. But the argument of JP servers are fine and never have problems really need to end.

Indeed. The earlier issues that affected only the NA/EU data centre have been resolved (yay, progress), which leaves the congestion issue.

My current concerns are that while they are clearly planning to add new worlds to alieviate the congestion, there are two other things that need to happen which have not been discussed by SE:

• How to get the existing servers uncongested by getting players moved off them an on to the new servers.
• Addressing Lobby Server capacity so that it can actually handle the floods of login attempts that follow a datacentre crash, or even simply planned maintenance.

I shall be forcing myself to patience for the next week since they clearly have some things in the works. We can re-assess then.

(Also, in my opinion, open beta was far too short to properly pick up on and resolve the bugs that have only just emerged from the woodwork with the Phase 4 updates.)

Point is this has gone on since PHASE FOUR...that's just inexcusable, I didn't complain in phase four as it was just beta. They knew the numbers well before hand, afk kick should have been tested in phase 4. Servers can be leased and already have a 72 hour burn in test done on them, it doesn't take a full week unless the company is building their own and only working 8 hours a day. You can lease then clone the storage over once you have your own servers built and ready. If this happened where I work and these people were OUR customers we would be working around the clock to fix this. Regardless of what business your in too, that's the way it works. You do EVERYTHING with what it takes to satisfy the customer and their issues so you can keep making money. This alone is going to cost them paying customers, people will leave find something new and forget all about it.

This is REALLY testing my patience... My only day off from work and I STILL can not log in after countless attempts after my shifts.

I am so close to throwing in the towel.

Why they cant' even just put a queue to login, instead of just letting use keep bashing our keyboard, and mouse.
This is stupid! SE is screwing this one up again like the previous FF14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had over 10 friends brought the game and played together, but up to today, best i see is only 3 friends online. Some have said they are quitting.

THIS IS SAD!

Yup playing on Tonberry, today 1017 strikes so hard.

I would like just to be able to play. I hardly was able to get in game during the last beta, the past weekends prelaunch, and now still can't get in. If I manage to finally get in after a couple hours, I only stay in for a few minutes and than back to waiting for a couple hours. There are people that started yesterday that are more leveled than I am. I just like to know how some can be in game for hours with no problems but yet I get booted all the time. Plus the gold sellers are always on. Wish they could kick the afk and gold spammers to let others enjoy the game. It is an awesome game and I know they are trying, but I think I am going to be spend my free 30 days just trying to get in game and I don't know about p2p.
