Error 1017 makes this game trash

[Xukuth]

Look great game love the mechanics, but error 1017 makes the game itself trash. A game is only good if you can actually play it. I seriously hope we get reimbursed the days we have to sit forever pressing the login just to play. We paid for the first 30 days rather they say its free or not. It was part of the package and its owed to us. I do not feel I am getting what I paid for every single time I log in and get this dumb message. Give us more time or I won't even bother paying for next month and will demand a refund or do a charge back.

I have to agree on the frustration of seeing Error 1017 over and over again, My only question that could be brought up about it is why did they take out the queue from the game that was there during the beta testing to keep your from randomly having to try to enter the game over and over.......

Sadly until the newly added servers relieve the stress the only way is to put in a restriction to put people off, having thousands of people in a queue pinging the server for a "Can I get in yet" response would only make matters worse.

Error 1017 alleviates this issue slightly by putting people off spamming log-ins.

It's bad but by Tuesday/Wednesday this won't be an issue anymore.

... is why did they take out the queue from the game that was there during the beta testing...

Please understand this: the queue wasn't taken out. It's still there. The queue only shows up when the server is not at capacity, and they are still allowing people to login to the servers. The queue is a function of the login server to prevent the login server from overloading. It's basically a "line" to let people trickle into the server at set intervals.

The reason for the 1017 is that the server is at full capacity, and new connections (logins) are closed. They are not letting ANYONE else login to the server at that time, so you have to wait until people logoff. Hence the reason why we absolutely need the AFK kick timers, to get rid of all the people who are just sitting there logged in, doing nothing, to essentially save themselves a place on the server when they are ready to play hours later.

Having the last time being able to log into the game be when it was being beta tested, yes that means since Tuesday night when I got home from work and tried to play the game I have been unable to log in even one time. I would hope that seeing a simple queue of "Queue 1342" ... even if I had to wait for the 1342 people to log out so I could log in, not having one and simply having to randomly guess "hmmm I wonder if I could log in now" would be a lot better.... As Nanga said

the Queue is a line to wait in to log into the server so why can’t I see how many people would have to logout so that I could login in a queue instead of hoping for dumb luck and getting in or having to sit there and try logging in all day long pressing a button like I have had to try today.

Well said.

It's better to have a Queue System that at least allows you to line up, even if you are #1,000 in line. At least you know where you stand (and see it slowly trickle down).

Error 1017 is basically "We're Closed. Come back... at some other random time and see if we're Open." Awful system.

the queue wasn't taken out. It's still there. The queue only shows up when the server is not at capacity

This logic is terrible. The server should only have 2 states: queue or no queue. You should be able to login without queue when the server is under capacity. When the server is at capacity, you should go into a queue to login. There shouldn't be some other state where the server is too full to put you into a queue. Additionally, it doesn't make any sense to put people into a queue when the server is under capacity, other than to handle the requests in sequence, which should take less than a second and not require the joining user see any sign that this is happening. The current queue should appear EVERY time you try to login and are not immediately put into game. The error "server is full, try again later" should only be in the game before a queue is implemented in the game. Anything else makes no sense.

You understand that 1017 is not an Error correct? Its the system telling you the message 1017 that the server is locked and not able to be connected to. This is SE's counter measure to folks spamming the servers and crashing them. Yes it sucks but its needed.

The fact that SE did not account for the population of the Entire world trying to log on screwed them over greatly ^^ they are working on a fix please be happy with that answer because there is no other answer to this.

Really frustrating when you are in the queue at 4, then the next moment 1017.
