Voqar Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 ...you want to make sure that people have a dynamic, engaging community to play with for long after launch. Either way, we have one clear objective – to make sure folks have fun.... My server went from seemingly dead to FULL with a 15 minute queue. Not fun. There's a new server I could transfer to, but there's no ability to transfer. Not fun. Adding servers AFTER people start having up to 30 minute queues instead of before it becomes a problem, when you KNOW it will be a problem, is gross mismanagement.

Kavu Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 my server has had a Q since 9 this morning. any idea as to when transfers will be coming? there seems to be quite a few light population servers and a mild amount of very heavy to full ones. why not just open up some transfers.

mattakadirt Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I hope this game loses these ques soon. This is truely infuriating to jump on to play this game to sit in a ques. Perhaps the game developers and owners can start prorating subscriptions to reflect the amount of time spent in the que. I realize that money talks and until you see a signifigant lose in money the ques will not change or even respond to the thread telling us how you are fixing them.

sparkleav Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah this is pretty stupid. I know it's launch day and all but, really, I see a TON of "Light" population servers on the list while I'm in queue, how about locking some of the "early release" servers down to FORCE (haha, bad pun) some of the release day players to go to other servers completely instead of clogging up already full servers? That would make sense but there will still be people who want to join these already full servers as they may not have had the game prior to today (launch) and are part of a guild that already exists on the 'full' server...not sure how they can get around that.

Dasffion Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wow BIOWARE, do you not realize how ugly this is going to turn on you? I'd put a leash on @rockjaw twitter acct.. he'll do nothing but inflame the customers.. and please, stop focusing on managing customers exceptions by closing threads.. I believe fixing the queue issue should be your #1 priority right now..nothing else...thanks.. The people closing threads don't have the tools or qualifications to work on fixing the "queue issue".

redux Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Bioware should really consider allowing server transfers. I am not part of a guild so I would gladly transfer my characters to a new server. I don't want to roll new characters on a new server because I have already invested considerable time in the story. I guess I am stuck waiting for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucepaulson Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'd rather log instantly into an empty server than wait to join a full one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithIceberg Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 During early access my server, helm of graush which is where my guild ended up pre-chosen by bioware, I would not hit a queue line until 3pm EST. Today I login to find at 11:30am I am in a queue for 40+ mins. I thought they brought the servers down last night to add more servers and hopefully to increase the caps on the current ones?

AlienJG Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 This wouldn't be such a problem if you allowed guild level server transfers; the big issue here is that many players joined their server because their guild was pushed to it and now they are stuck waiting in 1hr+ queues (Iron Citidel here) with no real option for just picking up and moving to another offering with less population... I'd love to know what the server capacity is on these things, because with 400 people in line at 11:30am and over 1100 in line at 2:00am, I can't imagine its more than 2000 people and you're just cycling logins. Half the reason the server queues are moving as "quick" as they are is because people keep getting DC'd and popped back in line! That's a scary thought.... imagine the queues if all zones were stable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeyspace Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 This is unacceptable. I have never had to wait in a que for a game THAT I PAY FOR. Please fix this, because I will be un subbing if this isnt fixed inside this week. Then good fight your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleTom 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? I guarantee you BioWare is currently working on expanding the network and infrastructure but you have to understand those resources don't magically appear out of nowhere. Provisioning new servers and hardware can take sometime. Yes, this isn't fun but put it into perspective people. It's not the end of our world and it will improve.

Sylverfall Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The bad part about Taris is that it had horrid problems for months in beta. Everyone posted about them, submitted feedback, and everything. The forums were covered in Taris threads and it is like they were all completely ignored.

superious Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Please allow a grace period to re-log, perhaps within 5 minutes? This way, if you get DC'd during a flashpoint or operation, you can log back in and finish it. Would be a sad panda if our tank or healer DC'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redux Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm still waiting on a server with a name and a type I like in a location I want. Exactly. We're paying customers, and yet I feel Bioware is rather indifferent to our needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPotato 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.

Starebear Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 BW then encouraged people on the 20th, who did not have EGA, to roll on a Server that was Light / Standard to avoid long queues and get into game sooner. Excellent idea. Then, poor BW, KICKED EVERYONE OFF THE SERVERS right before launch. Thus, when someone new logged in, they see guess what - ALL the servers show Light... BRILLIANT. lol'ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbook Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Bioware have dropped the ball , no server management at all. They must know how many accounts one server can handle , so they should have locked the servers once they reached their limit and not allowed further people to join thus creating the problem. Usual business model , doing it as cheaply as possible. Not very far sighted though as they will no doubt lose a lot of business if this continues.

Nyvann Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Wow. That tweet from Stephen was pretty discouraging. The amount of work all their artists put into this game for years and their server plan is spoiling their work. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakuen Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I understand queues are an evil requirement at this piont, my biggest gripe rihgt now is waiting 25 minutes or so,finally getting into the game, something happens that I get disconnected, immediately log back in and hey look 40 minute queue now. There need sto bbe a period for those that were just playing to most head of the line with queues its an issue thats out of their control or if they simpley want to change characters.

Gaidien Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ok, so I got into queue, then I put int my product code so I could get my in game items for my collectors edition. Noticed they were not there and that I didn't have access to the security key vender. logged out, got back into a queue that was 25 minutes long. I know it's the first day of release and all that but that's 45 mins of queue time already on a west coast server at 11:33 am EST. I think I'm ready for my free guild transfer and I'd like to take my guildies with me to a less populated server. I just don't see the point of the queues, with half the servers having light useage. I would just reroll and remake the guild on a different server but we are all in our 20's already and have had to reroll a couple of toons due to class make ups. How about a time line as to when that is going to be possible. it's just frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
