The struggle is real. But at least it is metal as hell! Literally! XD

The worst part is that I was already in the game, forgot about the current AFK kick measures, and got myself kicked after running out to the convenience store to buy some more drinks. ._.

Having to restart the entire application again - login and all - every time it fails is completely obnoxious and really should have been dealt with ages ago. What I've been doing to deal with it is "cycling" logins - have one trying to connect to the server and another already "logged in" though the initial login window, so when the first inevitably fails... I just click the Login button on the other to pop up the window.
Then, while that's going through the intro stuff before hitting the title screen, I load up the next. Click to try and connect again, and I have a new backup one ready for it that one fails. Repeat until you get in and get to hit the queue. Then, while waiting for the queue, go do errands about the house (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, what have you) until you load in and start on actually playing.
I also have videos and stuff playing in the background to entertain myself while I go through this repetitive process... which helps a lot. I don't think it's taken more than an hour to get in - not counting the complete crash on Friday.

I've had no issues since the first day of launch. Sounds like a DNS issue.
:/
Worst issue i've had is queues. Also, im in New Zealand.

It exits for you? It just completely freezes and then says "I'm done" on mine.

Or do all of that, and then get hit with a lobby error while you're sitting in queue! Happened to me just now.

Fought 2002 errors until they gave up. Now I'm sitting in the never ending queue. It was at 400 something before it kicked me the first time. Now it's 35 and been sitting at 35 for a solid twenty minutes.
Data center, please.
RE: The Great Crash of '15 - Gripes and Rants Are Going Heavensward - Griffith! - 06-20-2015
I logged to finally sleep and now I can't - just, can not at all - connect to the data center. NOthing doing, guys, it won't let me in.
RE: The Great Crash of '15 - Gripes and Rants Are Going Heavensward - Qadan - 06-20-2015
Gonna give it a few more tries then I'm done for the night. Can only imagine how horrible this will be on actual release. Guess I'll have to look into some oft used measures to prevent me from ever timing out once I actually get in.

It really feels like it's a specific huge IP range getting these problems if you pass through other peeps servers to get in.

So I got to the seemingly infinite queue... and then it started going down... like a normal queue! :O Is it happening? Will I finally get to play?

I'm still stuck behind the data center.
