BlownSi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I understand that it is launch day and you need to figure out how many people want what server, but if you are going to keep me in a queue for (X) time, then give me (X) playing time back for the time I have paid to wait. Seriously?!....bwahahah You obviously DO NOT understand it is launch day based on your request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redux Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Does anyone remember WoW launch? Because I sure do. And you know what? It was pretty similar to this. I guess we're stuck in the same place WoW was 7 years go? So much for progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycostick Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes this is rediculous, paying to wait to play in unexceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolershaker Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 and another day where i have to wait 2-3 hours to see my guild on the right server... this is realy not funny anymore. i guess all hoped for the last night, but nothing changed. this is realy annoying. are there any plans to cut the queues soon or make it posible to change server with the whole guild or do we have to life with it? and i realy bought the CE ... omg...

tullrn Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Seems as if Niman server got a cap increase, people saying they were 500 in queue and got in after roughly 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puritanical Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) This gotta be bad for buisness! Worst costumer info ever no info what so ever. Thousands of players payed for a game they cant play just cause some lame reason. They stole many players , but they will be a fast loss if this isnt fixed asap. Bloodworthy still has 1,5 hour est waiting time. They should be given a cap increase fast... Edited December 20, 2011 by Puritanical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzarrre Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Really hope they introduce free transfers relatively soon. I started my first character on a server with friends and got to level 15 before the server filled up and now has ~1h long queues. So I re rolled to a Standard pop server, got to lvl 15 again and now that is full too. I don't want to waste more limited time if this problem doesn't get sorted out before the billing date. I understand that it is still early in the launch. However I feel that "what did you expect?" is a flawed argument. They should have been more prepared. Sure the game and servers are stable. That isn't much use if you cant join them to play though... Aside: As for lack of certain in game features, those don't bother me too much, however comparison to other games lack of features at launch is a poor argument. Unless Bioware have been living under a rock for the last 7 years, they should have been learning from their competitors games evolution and developed Swtor accordingly.

Joshthenosh Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 IS YOUR QUE NOT MOVING? ive qued all day with it not moving re que starts n stops.

Halifex Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I agree with Aram, if my whole guild could move to a different server easily I could care less about your low maximum server size. Max population per server is ridiculously low - that's why we just saw about 3 dozen new servers relative to last night. But I am not going to play this game without my friends. And at this rate I will never get to log on, so ti does not even matter. Pirates of the Carribean allowed the players to move to a different server dynamically, in game. Maybe this is worth looking into? I could overlook the gameplay issues for a few weeks (which I will post elsewhere) if I could at least log in without needing to create new characters on a brand new server.

Jhava Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 15:39 CET (Central European Time) Server: ToFN (Tomb of Freedon Nadd-PvP English-EUROPE) Estimated Wait < 1h35m Position in Queue: 1442 Do you really think I will be in after 1h35m? I bet for 3 hours 16:39 CET (1 hour after logging) Position in Queue 922 17:39 CET (2 hours after logging) Position in Queue 560 Whoever has designed the 'Estimated Wait' formula should reconsider his/her aptitudes ¬¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 They are already increasing the caps on European servers, it's really just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantiel Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 They have the thresholds set low so that the players just now joining, get pretty much forced onto the empty servers. By this time next week, or shortly after the holiday inrush of players who got the game for christmas, they should increase the server sizes and will have ensured that the populations are as evenly spread out as possible. There's no news here. It's a pretty common way to do this type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesiser Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Call me crazy but... Something tells me they lowered the cap on servers last night when they did maintenance so players would get spread out across all servers. Yes, while right now there are a lot of light servers and a lot of full servers, on the 22nd after their next maintenance the problem will be fixed because they will raise the caps on the heavy servers. What do you think new players would like to see when they log in for the first time? A few heavy servers with a crap load of light servers or a lot of medium servers where they won't feel like they have to get on the heavy server to play with others. Ya, it sucks now, but after the next maintenance things will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethemback Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) B - Give us a grace period with direct server access for when you crash. Going back in queue is not acceptable. I agree on that. I've got a disconnection and now I'll have to wait for one hour or more to get back in (started at 300 20 mins ago, I'm 200 now). I can feel the pain of people in more busy servers. Also, I don't think that this is all BioWare's fault, as they recommended to roll on free servers and people keep rolling on FULL servers. I don't believe that there was that much people from our guilds still waiting to join our server today. Yesterday that same server had no queues at all, and the light servers speak by themselves too. Are they masochists or something? Cheers. Edited December 20, 2011 by Lethemback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwegar Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Not much point posting on page 299 or something here. but its a little after 8:30am PST and i am on a west cost server, been 20minutes in line already.. and still 219 in line before me. this is 8:30am PST?!?! i guess its a 10 hour wait when prime time hits? (say 4pm) (sigh) time to start on a new server and throw my guild and friends away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkniner Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 There are plenty of things you can do while waiiting, how about you scrub your toilets. Prolly a Generation Y baby with entitlement issues who expects everything handed to them. Grow up. The only thing I expect to be handed to me, is **** I pay for. I don't clean up my own hotel rooms when traveling because "The cleaning staff has a lot of other rooms too". I pay those *********** to do it, just like my $60.00 PAID Bioware and EA to fix this goddamn problem. You are in the minority here. 99 people are complaining about this for every one of you *******s who thinks it's ok. Begone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmacypher Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 started playing in the EGA and had no issue since Friday loading in on the server i chose but now as of this morning i can't load in while there are light servers showing. been waiting 10+ mins and the numbers in line have not decreased why are you going to be forcing moves upon some of us that picked servers after waiting to get into EGA but no can't play any longer? BAD FORM as they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwiller Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 As i posted elsewhere, please allow guilds and individuals the option to "opt in" to a server transfer so that you can balance your populations without having us all sit in queues!

Xarox Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 WOW! I was just about 450 in queue on Frostclaw. A minute or two later I check again and I was about login to char select. They must have done something just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workerdrone Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Does anyone remember WoW launch? Because I sure do. And you know what? It was pretty similar to this. Server queues were epic the first couple of days as hundreds of thousands of players slammed the network. Did you all know the the Beta weekend over Thanksgiving had 750,000 players sign up for testing? What I remember was comming home from midnight launch, installing the game, then logging in and actually playing the game. On launch day. Today I'm looking at 2-3 hours (easilly) of my 5 hour playtime wasted in a queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
