There is a ton of nuance and detail here, as well as a massive bucket of non-trivial problems to solve, but the solution to this is that your out-of-game infra shouldn't be self hosted. You push those pieces to AWS et al. It is bonus complex in that such a transition will take years and if such a change were to happen in time for 7.0, you'd probably have to start talking 6 months ago.

Regardless, we are talking about a game who's queue system can't handle packet loss, so...

Lmao amazon couldn’t even keep the servers for their own shithole MMO for assholes running, in what world do you live that they could possibly in a million years be able to handle the Endwalker surge

Saying “I’m having a bad experience with this game” is not at all the same as saying “this developer is bad, and should be ashamed of themselves.”

You can talk about silicon shortages and data center “blah blah blah” until you’re blue in the face, but the fact of our poor experience remains.

They have some serious chutzpah making Fandaniel's real identity Amon.

A boss from a raid years ago.

And not even the MAIN boss.

AND NOT EVEN FROM THE LAST RAID.

Maybe a few here but that's it? Unless you're talking twitter, like of course don't listen to any idiots there.

I hit 87 yesterday, can't get in today and that's fine, but at least I can understand why people get annoyed at the 2002 while they wait and lose position.

I'm number 3,777 in queue right now, so let me be clear: this situation absolutely loving sucks. But, like, come on. There's just no reasonable way for the devteam to have either meaningfully mitigated or even properly anticipated the scale of the login problems.

It is completely stunning to me that the community is erupting over the state of the servers. If this were WoW - if there were 3+ hour queues where the client can't even keep itself open, there would be riots. I'm so sick of having to babysit the client while in a loving queue. The fact that this wasn't fixed in a day demonstrates a kind of technical incompetence that I cannot even fathom for an operation this large.

Agreed. But please promise to post to post when you get down to like 500 after 3 hours and you lose position and go back to the 4k queue

The 2002 issue seems like it's on them tbh. The second rate infrastructure the game is built on has been an onrunning joke in the community for years, you can't brush that aside now it's causing an acute problem

Oh absolutely, but at the same time there really should be something in place to hold your spot if you crash. A lot of other games do it, and they already have a flag that says that the character experienced an unexpected logoff.

Has it, though? The last time I had any significant backend issues pre-Endwalker was during the huge initial Asmongold surge, since I had the misfortune of being on Aether, and the last time I had before that was loving Stormblood.

I finished all of the DoW/DoM ShB relics before Endwalker dropped.

But delaying the DoH/DoL ShB relics until Endwalker dropped is paying off now that I can Trained Eye all but the last step!

Well, he's kind of the lynchpin of the whole raid series, weirdly. The backstory is that he's the one who decided to revive Xande, and perfected the cloning technology to do so. Plus he has a flair for the dramatic like Emet, using the same snap animation for some of his attacks.

Oh yeah, in here and elsewhere. There wasn’t anything in particular in the game to actually support it, but ”Emet was Amon” and “Emet was Xande” were fairly popular fan theories. The truth is so much better though. I do wonder how much time Yoship and crew spent laughing at all of our dumbass theories leading up to EW.

If you crash during the queue yes it saves your spot. It doesnt give you priority if you crash while in game which is what I'm talking about.

AWS literally went down this week.

The best part is that due to this, there was a very real chance that all of the character data for every server on New World's east coast data center was just permanently gone. It seems like they've been able to recover it from a backup, but lol.

Makes me wonder if Fandaniel being Amon was them trying to intentionally subvert things.
