How much time have you wasted on the login screen?

[Azurymber]

I'm just curious about those not botting the login screen (I know many people are)

How long do you estimate you have spent on the login screen -just- trying to log in to the game?

I'm estimating i've spent around 15 or so hours. But I know some friends spend 3+ hours every night to get in.
Kind of curious to see if most people are just trying once every 5 hours or spending hours at a time spamming.

Not more time at the login screen then actually playing, but the fact I actually had to sit here thinking about if it was more or not is kinda sad.

Yeah, I do average between 1-4 hours a day spent trying to login since early access.

Today? 3 hours before i just gave up and went to play on my PSVita.

And when something offers less entertainment than a PSVita there's something terribly wrong.

About 15 hours with my keyboard repeating num0 so I dont need to click.

Thanks for this, I had no idea...

5-10 mins a day.

[Adaman1017]

normally 20-30 min but since the game froze in a cutscene last night its been about 18 hours of 1017 and 2002 errors

It is not Sunday 3:30pm pst and I have been trying to login and play FFXIV ARR since yesterday morning, like many other people. I have either faced a series of error codes: 2000, 1017, etc... or the ever popular, "Unable to locate the group NA/EU server list." We are in an era of MMO's where most of them are F2P and SE is being bold asking for $12.99/m to play FFXIV. Don't get me wrong I'm not a cheap ass looking for a free ride like sooooooo many players out there. I'm happy to pay money for my entertainment. There are a lot of talented individuals that worked hard on FFXIV and they deserve to be paid. But I won't pay for a game that I can't play.

The writing on the wall is grim IMHO. First SE had FFXIV V.1, that was more like a bad social experiment then a game. So much so they took down their servers and redesigned their game from the ground up. By extension, an admission of guilt that they F'd up. Now in V.2 SE has massive server login issues. I mean lets be honest here for a minute. I've been playing MMO's since shadow of yserbius on the Sierra Network and I haven't seen release server issues like this this the launch of Anarchy Online. Have developers learned nothing from history? Ultimately, I'm saddened by all the issues I was really hoping for a new MMO to play. I guess it's back to GW2, where I don't have to pay a monthly subscription and new content is being added monthly for free.

On the craps table of MMO's I'm moving my money from FFXIV ARR to WildStar. Roll them bones! No Wammies. No Wammies...
