TangTsu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Something needs to be done about this and fast. Also, BW needs to create dedicated Oceanic servers.

Kemizon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I hope you are thinking of something like max. 20 seconds or so. Otherwise I'm out. This is just insane and never seen it before. And I've played a lot of MMO's. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Terminus Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I think even 30 minutes is unreasonable. 5-10 is really what it should be at the most. Ideally, no wait, but heavy or very heavy traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediscum Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 So I enrolled on a server with a light load earlier this week. Played for a good two days until it became queued up beyond an hour, went ahead and started over with a new character on a new server that showed light. Had to login an hour before wanting to play tonight, thought that would be sufficient, still had to wait. Got on for one hour before the game locked on me, and guess what? Waiting in the queue again, and now I'm back here reading about the problems others are having and finally joining in the gripe fest myself. I'm logging off for the evening. Don't have the patience or inclination to wait tonight, and I'm so disenchanted with the whole process I may just call it a loss and move on. Sucks because I really enjoy the game, but I have limited time to play and want to make the most of it and enjoy myself. And I'm sorry, if this is how you treat your pre-order customers, the folks that actually give a rats *** and wanted to get in because they were so excited about it, I just don't buy that it's going to improve once the rank and file start logging in on the 20th - in fact I'd say I'm expecting it to get a lot worse. Unreal, and Insanely Disappointed. This was my first forray into a MMO and I've loved it - WHEN I'VE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE PRODUCT I BOUGHT.

Nyaxx Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Well you have my respect. To address the issue, tell the community what you are doing, and assure it is your priority is all one can ask. Communication is key and you nailed it. May the Force be With You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonelayer Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The only real way for the community to address this is to warn others who have not started playing yet. While you're waiting in the server queue, use the time to go on major retailers' websites and write SWTOR reviews detailing the problems we are experiencing and Bioware's failure to adequately address them. There's really no point in letting anyone else waste sixty dollars or more on a Christmas present that can't even be used. Absolutely! Im spreading the word every chance I can. This is ridiculous.

Erradyn Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Honestly, I never post, nor gripe about stuff like this. I rolled on Swiftsure when it was 'normal' load. I can even live with a 20 min queue for now, It's early access, you guys are getting your stuff together. But I took 4 days off to play, and any time anything goes wrong and I get disconnected, I have to sit in this ridiculous 2-3 hour queue. REALLY?.... REALLY?!?!?!

Micksterzone Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm actually gettin sick of the people who dont understand that they will be increasing the server caps in due course...........................

gravedgr Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 This is a complete and utter failure at planning, and is completely indefensible. Every character has a companion.The toughest content for current level characters is 4 toonsTherefore in order to enjoy a zone/flashpoint/quest you need a minimum of 2 playersThat means a server needs to have ~100-500 players online to have a full population If you have a queue exceeding 800+ players, you have completely failed at planning. By forcing my guild onto an overpopulated server that I'm unable to login to play to, you have effectively denied my ability to play. Had we been allowed to create characters on any server we wanted, and then formed a guild there, the queue problem wouldn't be so drastic. The epicness of this planning and design failure is certain to be a model for what not to do for all future massively multiplayer games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akpavker Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Something needs to be done about this and fast. Also, BW needs to create dedicated Oceanic servers. Having them pile onto W.Coast servers is only causing problems. Not that we don't love the Aussies. mutiple people(mostly aussie's)have been asking for this but im not sure if they will do it before the game is released in aus which who knows how long that will be:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janadin Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I made characters on two different servers to try and work around this queue thing. Now both servers are always full. Starting to think I'll never see my character on Shadow Hand again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOnTheCob Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I am not going to read 110 pages to see if someone already posted this suggestion. This seems like a huge design flaw. In the early betas I had the impression that the number of servers was going to be limited to the number of different play types (RP, PVE, PVP, East Coast, etc) and that load balancing would be handled through planet instancing. It would be a lot more fun if we had the opportunity to play with ANYONE you want like Eve-Online. The balance would shift toward having a dozen servers and 500 planet instances of Hutta instead of what we have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agida Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Smooth is all well and good but I do not expect to have to wait on a server that you put my guild on. I would have thought that you would not have put to many players on a server that you yourself loaded. This is unacceptable that I have to wait 30 minutes to get on to a server with my guild when I get home late in the evening. Again unacceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having them pile onto W.Coast servers is only causing problems. Not that we don't love the Aussies. You know, I said this 2 months ago and was basically laughed off by some SWTOR fan boys. They SHOULD have released the game in Australia. They SHOULD have flagged 2 pvp realms and 2 pve realms as Oceanic (not located servers here - just flagged a la WoW) and I guarantee the queue times this game is experiencing would be not have been a major problem. Don't underestimate the amount of gamers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaak Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth; While I understand the theory behind limiting the servers with the intention of filling the existing ones, obviously this doesn't apply here. Most servers are filled to capacity and have a ridiculously long queue. The only way to play SWTOR now is to log on to a "normal" capacity server and make a new character. Personally, I intended to level a character or two on one server, to keep in touch with my friends. Tonight I tried logging onto "Mind Trick", watched a movie while I moved up the queue, finally got in... only to find the heavy population was causing enough lag that I couldn't even navigate doorways. As previously stated here: please open new servers and allow character transfers. When you are limited to playing a couple hours a night (due to working for a living and such), an hour or two of queue is far too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
