Deamonition Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Funny that, I've never, ever run into an extremely long queue. Started on server 1 Thursday night, played for close to 36 hours now (that's played, not cheated by running into walls, etc), never once have I hit a long queue. I think the longest was 15 minutes, all on the same server It all depends on WHEN you play them, not if you've played them. Back in the day, Vanilla WoW had 30-45 minute queues, and sometimes longer. They still have them, with every single expansion. I can't remember my queues for EQ or EQ2. This is a growth thing, they'll get there Well, chances are he played every games at the same time. So you're saying crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damaf Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Got disconnected, game knows I got disconnected, and now a 710 queue.... So who do we see for a refund? This is absurd....... And yes, the servers are not packed....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeedaix Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 These posts I am sure give us something to do in the queues. So I add mine after being dc'd by the game freezing crossing a bridge and even though I relog in right away I am back in the waiting game. Yes it sucks. Yes we all want to play. However the reduced server caps will aid the balancing of populations in the coming week so after launch the experience will be better. Do I feel cheated? Yes, a little, since I wanted the head start 5 days I was promised. Is it a game breaker and am I gonna throw a tantrum and storm off and quit. No. There should have been more servers to start and existing guilds should have been spread out more but in truth a lot of non-guilded people are still marching into the already heavy and full servers so the general gaming population is causing the issue themselves. I still can not fathom as to why anyone specifically picks a server that clearly says full with a wait time to start on. As to some previous comments about unable to find groups, that on Shadow Hand hasn't been an issue. Lots of people and grouping all the time. Even Balmorra which was scantly populated during Beta most times is active. All in all keep the faith and given time this will work itself out. My god....finally a person not insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWhiting Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I don't who YOU think you are, but the money I threw into this game makes me as damn entitled to no ques as I want. I have a lvl 20, 14 and 10 on black reaper. I put DAYS into those characters so why the **** would I re-roll. Tell you what then, since you want to go that route: MY money entitles me to boot you into a queue every chance I can, simply because I paid for the CE, and setup a 6 month sub, not a simple month to month sub. MONEY has nothing to do with this, whatsoever. You paid for a GAME. You didn't pay for the right to play with your friends. You didn't pay for a guarantee you'd be playing with your guildies. You paid for a GAME. Accept it, move the hell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susumukimura Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah... this two-hour queue nonsense is kind of killing the game for me. If you don't get it fixed soon, you will lose subscriptions before you even get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpro_ Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Was at 1004 queue, got to 738 and said screw it. Not worth the wait Sunday night. I just hope I don't have to wait over 30 minutes when I come home from work everytime :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeedaix Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Queued for the first time tonight. I took vacation time this past week so I could spend a few days just hanging out at home with the family and playing SWTOR. I don't threaten to quit over every little thing but come tomorrow it's back to work for me. After tonight I'll only have a few hours here and there to play. If I have to wait in a queue for 45 minutes to play for 90 then yeah... I'll for sure quit. I won't even sub. Sorry Stop lying you wont quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonflyer Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Why would a casual to moderate player stick with this game... I have a family and a life so when I come to sit down at the puter to play a game I have a limited amount of time... in queue for over an hour now and that is not acceptible. A smooth launch this is not... mmmmmhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korvad Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hello dear Bioware. Can we have some new servers for the french community ? It seems that we are the only european country which cannot benefits of brand new servers so far. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashea Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Great game. Unfortunately, if the queues are like this when my month is up I will probably not subscribe. The 4 person grouping has also caused considerable headache for our small guild. Our 5 person groups has been together for a long time. The 4 person limit really messes us up. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tservo Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Queues suck, not holding your position in the queue from a crash, or crashing in game and being booted to the back sucks worse. I can't imagine how someone must feel after waiting hours to get in, crash in 20 minutes, then have the option of waiting all of those hours again.. Completely ridiculous, someone dropped the ball on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mijmit Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 A 3 hour queue is one thing .... getting DQ'd 5 minutes after getting in is another. How can there not be a method in which there is some sort of 3 min grace period to log back in ? With all of the preorders they knew they had plus the amount of sales they must have expected for early access, how could no one be prepared for this. This is just terrible planning, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasffion Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 My problem with this is that we did not choose this server. You chose this server for us (The Fatman), which has hour+ queues all weekend long. I love this game, but you can't expect us to start new characters after 5 days of hard play because YOU failed to properly balance the servers when you had the chance. There was no way we could have known that this would be the case from the first few days of early access, and after that its simply too late. This problem needs to go away. 30 minutes tops is all that we should have to wait to play, and even that is a major inconvenience. Do you really think things would have been any different if your guild had gotten together and chosen your own server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavemander Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Are guild transfers an option? The servers are full even before launch. More people are going to join these servers to play with their friends that are already playing. We as guilds and guild members did not get the choice of which servers we are playing on. We are at your mercy. I really hope that this game does not start out by screwing its primary customers, which is us. Are the servers going to expand on the official launch date? Are servers going to be locked? Counter arguments have said that we are not even playing yet, that we are in pre-launch still. The problem is that we are now paying customers, pre-launch or not. I hope that Bioware figures something out soon. I spent 55 min earlier. I got kicked off and had to wait an additional 60 min to get back in. Please fix this so that we can only have positive things to say about this amazing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthCodious Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) If Queue times are going to be a problem, please remove the modal aspect to the "Server Is Full" Modal window. I would like to scroll the server window while I wait.

Bowyrig Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ive been working in the IT field for the last 10 years. the solution to this problem is simple. better load balancing and more clusters will allow for more people on the servers and wait times will be almost to zero. However because i havnt worked at bio ware drove past in in Austin, TX i am not sure how they developed the server software. and that is the kicker it is all up to the serverside hardware/software to handle. so all im trying to say is this is inexcuseable and if it were to happen in the datacenter i have my equipment in i would be getting somone fired. BW you may need to fix this issue as to it is already driving people away! your about to have one more if this doesnt get fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
