Queue system

[Traminer]

At login, if we are encountering a 1017 error, are we automatically placed in a queue to wait our turn to get into the server? If so, can we come up with a screen (similar to Duty Finder) to reflect the queue status. This will keep us informed and prevent us attempting to log in over and over again.

If there is no queue system, why not implement one? We appreciate there are only 5000 spots per World at any time. Having a queue screen (perhaps at the character selection screen) will really give everyone some expectation of how long the wait will be to get in.

they do have a queue system, but 1017 means the server is too full to even put you in a queue.

No you are not in queue. The server is full and login is disabled. There is only a queue system to handle login traffic load when the server is accepting logins. You are basically being to told to try again at some point in which server load has gone down and logins are allowed without having any idea when that might be.

As an extra tease, after trying for 5 hours today I finally got into queue rather than getting a 1017 error. As I waited for my queue to count down from 51, I got cut off and got the 1017 error. Yay!

Yeah, you pray to get a queue message, but even then I still get 10102 messages and get to start this login in mini-game over again.

I get the 1017 error then get in the Que only to get kicked out of the que with 1017 again

there's a sticky in general discussion which explains why this is happening: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...n-Issue-Update

Exactly I don't mind being the 100000000 in que but atleast I can do other things instead of pressing 0 all day I like the game and its just bit frustrating
