  1. Primal/Excalibur had a queue of 1,100 at prime time yesterday. It was at 5,000 a couple of weeks ago.

    I think they do need a few new worlds (at least one per data center, possibly 2 for Aether).

  2. Increasing chi’s spawn rate would also help a lot of congestion. And crystal has almost gone back to normal it seems, 30-70 person que every time I’ve tried to log in for about 4 days now

  3. Yeah Faerie has been a pretty smooth queuing process over the holiday weekend, and the queues have been getting faster.

    Er, wait, no, I mean, FAERIE'S CLOSED DO NOT COME AND ENJOY OUR SHORTER QUEUES

  4. The queues were 20-70 these past 3 days but from today on there were 700+. The whole reason it was so low was because it's around Christmas, the next few days it will be going up again.

  5. Over the Christmas holiday, on Couerel my queues times were about 89 people in the evenings, which is the old normal for me. I imagine once the holidays are over, and Savage raiding comes back, that number will increase but it's been nice thus far 🙂

  6. I know this is a FF14 video, but FF16 has been delayed by 6 months.

    I know that "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
    ~ Shigeru Miyamoto, however, I am confused by Yoshi-P's particular statement:

    “This has unfortunately hampered communication from the Tokyo office, which, in turn, has led to delays in — or in extreme cases, cancellations of — asset deliveries from our outsource partners.”

    Brian, if you see this comment, how has COVID actually impacted the communication from SQUEX themselves? That's the part I'm confused about. Can you guess?

    If FF16 already had a game development team that encompassed game developers from both Japan and all over the world, we can assume that time zones would be a major issue, but I'm also going to assume that SQUEX would've known how to handle that. According to Jason Schreier, a Bloomberg video game journalist, by 2020 FF16 had been in development for 4 years, and they didn't start hiring a lot of people until 2018-2019.

    By 2020 SQUEX would've known how to communicate with all of the game devs living in different countries. COVID could've caused a hiccup in terms of SQUEX creating a new company procedure in how to deal with COVID, and it would've taken awhile for them to get approved by the Japanese government, but communication from SQUEX to the FF16 team wouldn't have changed pre nor during COVID.

  7. I love your content brother, and have followed you since HW. But please don’t recommend FFXIV to new folks if you can. It leads to a larger queue, and then new folks bashing this beautiful game because of it, and then the negative stigma that follows.

    Also, try to get a one on one interview with Yoshi P. If Asmongold who joined a month ago could, you should have had the top spot.

  8. My experience so far in Elemental DC has become better since most of the player base has completed the MSQ, but….. For the last 4 days, some, if not most players in Tonberry has experienced a terrible lags & frequent Error 2002 while queuing. By terrible, I mean 3-5 seconds of latency. Sometimes it spiked to 10 seconds, and then we were being disconnected. From what I know, there’s a problem with the undersea cable within northern Southeast Asia regions that caused this issue to be happening right now. That’s a bummer since that kinda problem will take quite a while to be resolved

  9. On crystal/brynhildr the queues ive been running into lately are 17/20 at the lowest and 200 at the highest… but I’m also an east coast player so generally I don’t experience what they considered peak hours cause those usually fell later in the evening/night.

  10. I haven't seen a queue under 1700 people since pre-release. That's 3 hours on the low side. Long story short – I haven't been able to play since the pre-release. Beginning to consider canceling the sub for six months or so until more servers or less people. I'll be back; love the game. Quite irritated about not being able to play during my vacation time over the holidays tbh. Is there a way to load onto a low population server? If they haven't done that it's a HUGE screwup in my opinion… it's something they could do w/o hardware.

  11. I've not known any other content creator do as many videos on servers and login queues as you. You're obviously free to make the content you wish, but seriously? We are into the teens pretty much in server queue videos on this channel alone.

  12. On EU servers 1000k = around 1h during primetime. How the situation really is now is something I will notice when we are past the hollidays, most I have seen these past days is 160 but I would be surprised if that is still the case when people are back home after christmas and new years.

  13. On Crystal my queue times have been like pre-EW the last week or so. Not sure what other data centers are experiencing, but I seem to have returned to something like normal. I logged in tonight and my queue was only 43 people. Took about a minute to get in.

  14. I joined FFXIV before Heavensward launched left after Stormblood launched came back after Shadowbringers. I play on Mateus and was part of a FC back in the day. Mateus now seems to have mower queues this past week. Highest has been just over 1100 on the weekend. I have gotten a lot of queues less than 100.

    A few weeks ago it was rough, better now.

    Ironically I am looking to transfer worlds to a more social and active community. As my FC is no more upon returning and friends left Mateus or the game.

    I have heard good things and Lamia, Fairie, and Sargetarus. Any suggestions? Especially with a fun community flexible to parents and interested in endgame.
