They aren't doing maintenance until tomorrow night, so it won't be fixed until after that.
Cool. I'll start using guides etc. Sorry for all the questions.
You guys have been extremely helpful. On a more negative note, I just completed the mission where you kill the Rock giant thing (It's a level 10 story mission). During the cut scene where the masked Mage shows up - my computer crashed. The screen froze, and I had to turn off my PC.
I highly doubt I'll be able to log in now. I logged in very early this morning before the servers were swamped. So I'm probably out for tonight.
EDIT: It says I'm still logged into the game after I reboot my PC. =/ Yet I can't get back in. Now I have to wait for it to auto log me out. And I'm sure I won't be able to get in because the server traffic. I wish it would just let me back in, since I'm technically still logged in.
Double EDIT: Oh god. I just read that some people have been locked out for 20 + hours after they D/C from the game.

They're adding worlds. It's probably not going to affect your ability to log in on the one you're already on.

They're supposed to be addressing the duty finder though, right? I thought that was the reason they scaled back server slots to begin with.
That's you, reboot the client.

Keep rebooting the launcher to get that to go away.

Loads of people are staying logged in afk, to avoid the 1017 error.
There is no AFK kick so when people manage to get in, they stay in. Unlike idiots like me who log out on habit most of the time. =/
- Addition of new Worlds
- Implementation of countermeasures to handle the influx of concurrent user counts as a result of split processing the duty finder
- Address several known issues
It seems like whatever measures they used to run the duty finder, messed with the login servers and capacity in general.

Be a really shitty thing to do given a lot of friends have been split up.
I'll bet your avatar transferring to the new worlds will be free.
I ended up getting most of a full day in and I was able to get WAR and what a difference that Job makes on tanking. I was having issues keeping hate on the last dungeon I did before unlocking that job (Haukke Manor) and when I ran it after getting WAR, there was no getting hate off me lol.

Pretty sure they've already set it up as a failure as IIRC they said they're going to be significantly limiting logins post update to observe behavior and then only slowing raising the cap from there. They've given themselves an excuse for a few days of 1017's.
Alot of the game is instanced and there was only one duty finder server. The reason for the login cap now is to stabilize the instance server. What they are going to do is implement multiple instance servers similar to the WoW battlegroup setup.
AFK auto-kick would not really do much...auto-run to a wall to avoid that.
But there is a benefit if you actually log out in an inn, but most people probably don't want to do that at this time and just idle on the server so they don't have to try to log in.
Same benefit as standing afk in an inn or sanctuary...don't have to be logged out.

So what time does this maintenance start?

Did, it and it's the same if not worse. Realized I had been running in Full Screen again for some reason, gonna kick it to FS windowed and see if that helps.
Also has anyone running the Nvidia audio through HDMI had problems where the sound screws up and pretty much makes it so the entire driver is toast for any audio at all? I've had that a bunch too.

5pm PST, I believe.
The measure they used to fix the duty finder was to limit logins. Hence the 1017 errors. The first day or so you could log in fine but the duty finder/instances weren't working.
I have such a MP problem with the Aiatar fight on my WHM
If the tank and dps are not on their A game I am running out of MP and even if they are it's hell trying not to run out with all the cures and spam heals..
I am guessing SCH has a much easier time during this fight? It's not so much the burst healing that is needed but a lot of MP if the group keeps dragging him through the poison pools.
Or maybe I just suck
There is not that much different one can do than cure cure cure and cure II if freecure procs and Esuna in between to cleanse the poison..right?
Late reply, but I suggest you don't cast Esuna in the fight unless the tank (or someone else) has the poison at 3 stacks (1 cure on someone that's just been target by a poison spit is enough to keep them safe, the poison won't kill them), stick to cure and only cast cure 2 from Freecure procs or if the tank likes to eat poison breath and is low on HP while a poison breath is coming.
Esuna will drain you for little return, since poison at 1 or 2 stacks isn't much damage and a Cure, which is less mana than Esuna, will keep the person safe and alive.

I hope so. Ultros is cool and all but I'd rather play on server I can actually log in to whenever I feel like it. Even after these fixes I'm almost positive that Ultros will still have it's issues.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Huh, that makes sense and is totally consistent with my experience at launch. Hope you're right.

You know truthfully I wish SQEX went the route to block IP access with the newer regional servers. Thats one thing that would have prevented the idiotic overpopulation.
Make region protected servers and have "international" ones for those who want to mix everything up countrywise.

I wish they had devoted more servers to each world servers, more servers for the duty finder, more world servers for the EU/NA people and split Data Centers for NA and EU.

Got this game a few days ago. Still haven't been able to play it lol. Didn't it release like a week ago?
Pretty sure they find out if you're AFK by keyboard strokes and mouse clicks.
If people wanted to beat AFK auto-kick, they'd find a way. After all, it's not like people in this thread aren't using keyboard macro tools to log in anyway.

Pretty much, it's a zerg fest but the EXP is worth it, if you can contribute enough that is.

I should have listened to all the backlash. I can't even attach my character to a server. 
instant queue to not finish dungeons?
