Anabola Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Yesterday I received my early access mail and I'm still unable to play because of queues! I would like to play with my friends and the server is always full. Usually we have to wait at least an hour. I'm following you on tweet and you are opening new servers: SWTOR The Old Republic We are opening a new #SWTOR server: Krath (West Coast PvE)! 7 hours ago Favorite Retweet Reply The Old Republic SWTOR The Old Republic Correction: Ven Zallow and The Corsair are East Coast! 8 hours ago The Old Republic SWTOR The Old Republic and Darth Andeddu (EU German PvE)! 8 hours ago The Old Republic SWTOR The Old Republic ...Kai-kan (EU English PvP), Bao-Dur (EU English PvE), Ludo Kressh (EU English PvE), and The Krath Enchanter (EU German PvP)... 8 hours ago The Old Republic SWTOR The Old Republic We are opening 8 new #SWTOR servers: The Corsair (West Coast PvE), Ven Zallow (West Coast RP-PvP), Uthar Wynn (EU English PvP)... 8 hours ago We are opening two new #SWTOR servers: Thana Vesh (East Cost PvE) and Zaalbar (West Coast PvE)! 11 hours ago Did you think about fixing old servers/queues instead of opening new ones? Probably new players will continue to log on old servers to follow friends increasing queues times. Edited December 16, 2011 by Anabola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArio Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah that's a good question cause i notice same problem also on different servers, a 15/30 minutes queue is acceptable but if the queue start to be 1 hour or more start to be a problem. An example could be Tomb of Freedon Nadd that seems to be one of the most choosen server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yustice Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 /quote I can understand 10-15 mins queue time, but 1h30 min queue time for Tomb of Freedon Nadd ,when i've only 2-3 hours of my time available, it's unacceptable. I don't want to start again on another server, cause my community and all my friends are on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediwran Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 They're adding new servers, and these ques always happen at the release of games, and with WoW at the release of major updates. This is normal, and they usually take a week or 2 after release to clear up. Calm down, you'll survive it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa_pip Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=28083 Please bump this thread. Needs to get more popular and grab the developers attention! I know how MMO releases work and this sort of thing is some what expected, but when you happen to be in the ONE server thats alllllways takes 1-2hrs to get in it gets frustrating. Please Bioware, add this feature in the release/next patch PLEEEEASE. Edited December 16, 2011 by papa_pip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you expect for the official lunch if players have to wait 1 hour on early access? Edited December 16, 2011 by Anabola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_pip Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It needs a server transfer feature! hell, I'd even happily pay for it thats how desperate I am. It's only going to get worse when the official release date arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anabola Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) The server transfer could be a usefull "option", but it's not the solution. A friend of mine logged in at 7:10pm, and he waited 4 hours to join into the game at 11:20pm. He played for at least an hour, the game crashed and relogging he found another 1230 players queue. IHMO the server transfer is not the solution. My experience:I was playing the game just some mins ago. My internet connection goes down for 30 secs and relogging I have found a 1450 players queue.Unbelievable! @BiowareProbably you want to split players on more servers but I don't think this is the right way to handle the situation. FIX the queues and gain more rep.Add some kind of "limited time reserverd slot" for players that got disconnection, and gain more rep.

Blackmun Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 1.5-2 hour queues before release is beyond ridiculous. More so that your stress test forums were overflowed by complaints about people waiting. Do you seriously think we'll keep giving you our money to watch a count-down for 90 minutes a day? I don't.

Agreed. I've been sitting at an hour for the second day now and it's not even officially released. Sure this is a good thing but damn I've wasted time I could be using to level and enjoy myself. This is not a rant, I'm not quitting or anything but please do something about the queue or let us get free transfers off the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEwildSTALLION Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 THIS IS SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE!!! Some of these server queues are 1 hour 15 minutes which is not only completely absurd, it is unprofessional and plain stupid. ANY QUEUE at all is unacceptable. LISTEN EA/BIOWARE, you have to fix this immediately. I don't understand how this can be happening. We've paid for a game that we now have to wait in order to play. This is utterly beyond words. This isn't a beta, there is no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
