Yoshi-p stressed and upset over NA/EU server issues

[Elysius]

It's Eidos that support NA/EU server. so the main problem is from them, not SE. Im pretty sure the phone ring in Montréal Office.

Blaming Eidos is the easy way out huh?

Their studio MIGHT be hosting the datacenters but they aren't the one's in charge of their specifications or any part of the infrastructure there. They have jobs that they're doing, they don't sit around baby sitting servers all day. So yes, it does rely solely on SE's shoulder's for not making sure the infastructure was capable of handling the load in the first place. Blaming another studio on a Publisher's inadequacies is as outrageous as people claiming Yoshi-P is at fault.

So he is sorry?can paying people play on this sorry?in the and it's a p2p game not free game.and if Dr can't deliver the game too 100% of the paying people they need 2 shoot Dow the game,get more that 25 servers or Niger servers and test and stress tests them and only then open the game

Exactly... Feelings have NOTHING to do with it.
No one living in the gulf region cares about how the BP CEO "feels" about the oil spill and FIXING this game has nothing to do with Yoshi's feelings and/or shame

Has someone stolen Rydin's account? I swear Rydin, you're generally more genial than this ... or did the beta forums bring you down? ^^

I know, right? I just think "feelings" and "tears" have nothing to do with it.
If your product is flawed, you either fix it... or you don't. Either way, I'm not interested in how the director "feels" (Those are classic Doctor Evil air quotes, by the way)

I wish I could like the OP more than once. Hopefully once all this has blown over Yoshi and the team can feel the love we have, and we can get back on track with what we're all looking forward to.

The Game.

Did you just compare a video game not working for a few days to that awful crime against nature? Overreaction is an understatement.

While I appreciate the effort put into transforming the wreck known as FFXIV 1.0 into the gem that is 2.0, I cannot exempt SE from the blame on this one. Even on the Beta forums, I stated time and time again that their methods of load testing were invalid.

In beta, we had nearly the same number of servers as we currently have, but we had a much smaller player base. They absolutely should have shut down half of the servers, tested for stability, and then shut down half of those to bring the server count to 25%, and conversely quadrupling the per-server population. They should have continued this process until they properly identified the breaking point for the servers, and then, and only then, set the per-server population caps for retail release.

Alas, none of this happened, and so we have Final Fantasy MXVII: An Error Reborn

While I appreciate...

But the servers aren't crashing are they? They can very well handle the amount of players they are set to accommodate. The problem is that their servers aren't set up to accommodate the amount of people trying to play. So far, at full capacity on the servers, while playing I have experienced little to no server lag in heavily populated areas and popular fates. In fact, the worse I've experienced is a little bit of frame rate drop from the hundreds of players on screen at once.

No, the servers ARE crashing if they allow the full population of players that selected said servers during Beta4. The problem is that they have to artificially limit the number of players allowed on a server at a given time. Had this been a limit when it came to character creation/transfers to these servers, then everyone that picked a given server would be allowed to play.

What we have now are servers that are probably 50-150% oversubscribed and a large player base stuck playing the 1017 minigame trying to get in. Had they load-tested properly, we'd have more servers today, fewer players per server, and likely, no one having issues with 1017 errors.

[indira]

they should add a bar that shows how full a server is, did it in version 1.0 and other games say low, medium, high, full.

server transfer right now will fix the problem a bit till they do a permanent fix.
