ReynenStarfyre Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Seriously guys, move over to the EUR English servers....they are completely empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redux Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I don't know if it's any consolation that at least the forums haven't crashed.... At any rate, I would much rather play the game than be on the forums. Also, for someone who talked about getting the $5 refund - as of today I am officially a paying customer. Origin already charged me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CzeKei Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Que time 2+ hours on Swiftsure indicates that they need "Oceanic" servers. Even the physical hardwares arent in the Oceanic zone, mmo players in the same time zone/play times tend to flock to the same server due to end game contents requiring more than a few players. Players with guild placements got jacked when got placed on Swiftsure/Harbringer. They really should allow those people to transfer out to somewhere else. From the forums, EA and BW has been listening to the outcry of the community, and I hope they know this is still Early Access, and once it goes live with those people that has not pre-order, things are just going to be more chaotic. I really hope EA/BW understand the situation here. Waiting patiently for them to do something about this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smegghed Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've played a great many launches before this one. With the exception of the rarity...I've never encountered queues like this before. Yeah, I played WoW, their major problems were down time...I could have been lucky with server selection. SWG was horrendous. But most of the others, while having their share of problems, never had this kind of waiting. So for everyone saying "welcome to the launch of an MMO", sorry....this isn't typical. This shouldn't be expected. This is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRaven Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I am beginning to think that some of this is partially engineered, In sales we learn, that when a customer has a buying signal and is in LOVE with something we have to take it away, to ensure a sale, because they can see we ALL want to play they have limited the server amounts to make us wait so that way, we will constantly want to try and play it and use every spare, valuable second ONLINE when we can, because we are afraid of how long the wait times could be, Very smart of them if this is the case, but at the end of the day BIOWARE is a Business and I think EA would be the ones pushing the ball on this aspect, as they earn their money off keeping people interested, When you buy a car, is the sale completed at the car or at a desk where you cant see the car and see any defects or make a second thought, Right now the image we have in our minds is OMG ITS SO FUN CANT WAIT, and thats what they want, because then we sit and wait and remain for that little hit, because we have been given a large enough taste to keep us interested, and not enough to go, ehh 4 hours ill play tomorrow, because what a disaster it would be if you had just %10 of people saying on release ahh im not in the mood or im already sick of it, they want numbers to be at the highest possible, they get rewarded on that i bet!! BIOWARE isnt dumb, they would have known the numbers and specs (How many people they have let in for EGA), so that when letting in people for EGA they could have prevented this very easily. Touche EA, Again sorry for wall of text QQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoxiousAlby Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 4+ hours on The Swiftsure and counting. This is unacceptable. I've already put 40+ hours into my toon not to mention my guild is on this server so please don't sit here and tell me to switch servers if I don't like it. Not unless Bio is going to facilitate mass character and guild transfers for free for people... The Swiftsure is definitely one of the hardest hit servers out there due to the whole Oceanic thinking it would be a smart idea to choose ONE of the most popular West Coast server to roll on.... Really Oceanic.... wish one of you had been thinking clearly before you made that decision and now Bio has to come in and clean up your mess. Next time roll on a deserted server please. Ignorance is bliss for some. You do realise that Oceanic players dont get their own server? in fact werent even invited at launch. But if you want to raid you need to play on a server with other people in similar time zones? Oceanic nominated Swiftsure as a server for others in similar timezones so we would have the numbers to raid. Rather than ranting at players in the southern hemisphere, better you asking EA to provide Oceanic servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camthylion Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I just exited the game... I dread going back on. The Ebon Hawk a few hours ago had me in a Q line of 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhast Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Unacceptable ? lol Ever play Wotlk for 3 months after release? the queues were 5 hrs long. Learn to turn your comp on and log a couple of hours before you are ready to play. Crowded servers = popular game.......also dont expect it to always be like this it's always at its worst for 1 - 3 months after release. I assume the wait time diminishes as pi$$ed off customers cancel their subscriptions. Is this really a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTotoro Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 the only thing thay can do open up more servers now While that does help I'm afraid that people are reluctant to reroll their characters even though it means waiting for hours. About US player playing in EU servers and other way around, During beta I played in US servers without any major lag (I live in Finland). The latency can be too much but it also might not, so you might want to try it out. Having characters on different servers can be a pain though for those active in guilds or just liking to concentrate on a single character at a time so that won't help everyone either... Hard problem for BW to solve for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobyAU Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 There should be a feature where you can queue for your Normal server whilst playing an Alt on another server this is ridiculous ...... over 5 hours of my day spent in queues that could've been playing because the damn client crashed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudkikr Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I completely understand stand that this is a HUGE undertaking for BioWare.. that being said.. 40+ minute que times are absurd for Dark Reaper (West Coast PvP).. I'm not really sure how it all works, just a thought though allow people that have already created characters on overcrowded severs to do a transfer before launch.. or sometime after it. Maybe offer a move to less populated PvP severs? just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Guess my expectation is they would do better than a rolout 7 ? years a go surly they have researched & worked out there average player load .. its not rocket science my big hope is on launch day they X4 each server cap .. its not hard to do / Crosses fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoxiousAlby Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I assume the wait time diminishes as pi$$ed off customers cancel their subscriptions. Is this really a good thing? That might account for some reduction in queue times but most will be new servers opened up and character transfers. We just need to wait a few days/weeks for things to settle down before EA have the numbers to make the necessary changes. People are acting over the top, everyone is really enjoying the game which is why when confronted with the situation we have here common sense goes out the window and takes on the persona of blind rage. I'm sure everything will be straightened out, we just need to give it time for BW/EA to collect all the data. They will want to see how many recurring subs there are before adding additional servers. People need to just stop acting like 5 yr old who have had their favorite toy taken off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
