8 months, Still Unstable Markets?

[Karbine]

Can we please have a solution to the crashing markets already? This problem is persistant everyday even after 2 patches claiming to have fixed the problem. Now when I try to enter, I get a message informing me that I am moving to the ward chosen, and have to sit in limbo unable to interact with anything or log out. I am a supporter of the wards, but they simply just need to stay up, please.

Its probably your server problem. Here in Istory wards seens to be working 100%. There's like 3 patches we have no crash, except by Ul'dah MW (no idea why) that was reseted after last patch, all others saved retainers position and all.

What server are you on? Maybe more people from there is also having this problem so they can give it a looking. And i believe you should post a report at ingame bug forum so they will check it out for sure. ^^

Its everytime they make a "recovery" post on lodestone that this is happening. They simply just restart the wards after they realize they are crashing players until it happens again. It seems to just go down the list of servers until it loops again. And they have to restart once more.

heh like Lienn said, it is just your server. Ive never seen a Karnak server recovery notice on the lodestone. And the wards seem much more stable than a few months ago now. And since retainers wards location is saved now, it really doesnt matter if the wards reset. They will still be there.

Thats the point though. The busier servers, not just mine, get reset and crash. Anyone who tries to access the crashed wards ends up in limbo state where they have to crash game to exit. The retainer locations are NOT replaced and it is not fixed until SE posts on the official website that its been restarted.

I understand it may not be happening on the less populated servers but I've seen it happen over and over on Selbina, and others like Mysidia and Besaid.

They did fix it but had a problem with the fix so they disabled it while they work things out.

[Karbine]

Nope.

* The issue above has been addressed with the patch 1.17a.

Ya i saw your point now...only a few days ago i noticed that they keep only 1 recovery message at news and not all of them. Its very odd it always being in Ul'dah...maybe its malfunction of their market server.

Indeed they need to give MW some love and have this fixed...because if its something caused by MW overloading, then it might expand to all MWs once PS3 version is out.

It happens in Ul'dah because it's the only market that actually has a fair amount of retainers in it. This isn't hard to figure out here.
