When Wednesday Come No 1017 error...Right?

[Kownt]

Wednesday cant get here any quicker but i'm still worried about wednesday. If people see the 1017 error SE is goin to feel a wrath like no other and the blogs are going to be so bad and disrespectful they going to think they killed somebody. I hope this fix the stability problem but i feel like there is so many other problems that are being overlooked that we will be back to square one.

um it will happen just wait and c

They said they are adding more worlds, but no where did they say they would fix the current problems. New worlds only help new characters unless they split the current worlds.

Sounds like another failure to me...

[Tyndles]

A small portion of the players that haven't advanced very far in the game might say, "**** it" and roll to one of the new worlds, which very likely won't have that error, but the vast majority aren't going to switch worlds, and the problem will continue until there is a server cap increase, or free transfers. (The latter will happen, but not right away I think.)

OP there's only two things certain in life.....death and taxes. Expect the worst.

OK, last bit to point out...

Each server has a max it can handle, X, but at release it was set to a smaller number, Y, because the population is very dense in the same areas. Over time as people level at different passes, the server population spreads out over all zones and Y is increased to X (maybe over a few week period).

For FFXIV, the initial Y was fine for the world servers, but was to much for the duty finder server on the data center. SE found out how many people the DF server can handle, and divided this equally among the world servers and set Y at this number (much less then what it was on day one of early access). When we get new worlds, and the DF server is changed on Wednesday, they ca then start bringing Y up to allow more people on each server helping (and potentially removing) 1017.

There also seem to be a cap on the queue number, which could also be expanded with the server upgrades, also helping with 1017

I wouldn't hold my breath. I fear S-E thinks the solution is just to encourage people to make characters on the new servers.

[KogaDrake]

You also forget they have a very strict login restriction currently because letting in more people will kill the duty finder server making the game essentially unplayable for all of us (you remember day 1 of early access before they added this right?).

With the changes to the duty finder server they are making and adding additional worlds this should fix everything, but they have also said they will limit the logins somewhat right after and monitor things closely so it might take a day or two of minor server side adjustments before everything to fully release eliminating the issues. Either way, it should be better on Wednesday when all the AFK players get removed (at least till they log back in and AFK again), and with the additions they give us.

If not, RIP FFXIV
