Rhonwyn Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I understand that there will be queues when a lot of people are online and that they don't want to add more servers too quickly and have underpopulated servers. I also understand that queues can be used to help naturally balance out the population. New users will avoid the FULL servers and gravitate toward the lesser populated ones. I certainly would. My biggest objection is that I did not choose my server. I signed up early, joined a guild, and was assigned a server. This server (Dark Reaver) has the second longest queue at most times. The reason I participated in the guild program was because I thought Bioware would use the opportunity to balance out the new population. Move guilds around and make sure that they were pretty well distributed. Instead I'm now stuck on a server with a queue at most times. It would be nice if the guilds that were assigned to a server were given the equivalent to a "Fast Pass" type system. If someone logs into the server Bioware assigned them, they get put in a different queue. This way new users are still discouraged from joining an overpopulated server, but the users that do not have as much of a choice actually get to play the game.

Sammoth Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The Harbringer Server Been in Que every day since the first day of it being up. Ques have gotten better. Problem Toons already leveled the 2 days I could level them. And the server was listed as a west coast server then became an oceanic server. Biowares mistake not the customers. Why would we have to re-roll? Solution- Will gladly transfer to an unpopulated server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shierkahn Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 All I wanna do is play the game, and I cannot do it due to server constraints. I paid for Deluxe, and not even able to enjoy it. The staged launch did NOT work. It just made a huge traffic jam, and people are going AFK only to be logged out tot the character selection screen. They will time out after 30min-1hour....while folks who are eager to play wait in a queue or forced to play on a PVE server.... The Fix: Convert those empty PvE servers.....

msales Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I haven't been put in a queue once, I guess I chose the right server Well done you. I joined the server that BW/EA chose for my guild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleteta Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Why not just put a lock on all the full servers and make all the new people join the more low pop servers... the fatman server has a 2 hour wait right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because then people who would want to roll on those servers because they have guildies or friends there would be locked out for days or weeks.

Semmmy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) The month is free. You don't own anything but the hardware that came in the box. Wrong the box states that the purchase includes your first months play. It does not state play free for a month as a gift. You signed away your rights. BW is not taking away anything. You agreed to give it to them in exchange for the ability to play the game, except when you can't. Wrong again I'm afraid, certainly under UK law you cannot sign away your statutory rights, which includes consumer law. Go figure, read what you're signing. Buyer beware. This is your fault, not anyone else's. Thrice wrong my friend, caveat emptor does not apply as consumer law covers the purchase of goods & services.... Now try again with factual info not nerd rage please. Edited December 21, 2011 by Semmmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazGal Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It doesn't f..... make sence that we have to wait in queue for 40 min not even 5 min is to munch. We have join the server as Guild and we are not able to play with each others because of the queue. What bother me more than ever is that I've spend so many $ so far on that game as pre-order, the game by itself, security key, already bought 2 months time game and I'm not able to play the game when I come back from work. Bioware have totally fail on this manner. Bioware have to make a major move to correct the situation on the server that have been asign to guilds that was ready on the pre-order and asign by Bioware.

WickedJediKnight Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I saw a toon just occasionally running into a wall. I asked the player what the deal was, I was told that they were using a key macro to stay logged in while they were afk, to avoid the queue. Ironically, the queue is likely there because of this exact behavior. Even more ironically, I got disconnected trying to report the player, and got stuck in the queue, of which I'm still waiting. That's what I get for being a tattle-tale I suppose, but still, it has to stop somewhere. Just f'ing log out when you are done! Being selfish is making the problem worse for everyone, including you! Next time, it might be me using a macro, and you having to wait, vs we both log out, and can then log back in that much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenceriker Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 staggered launch was a failure You obviosuly know nothing if u think it was anything less than a success. I wish you were there for the months WoW, Aion or Rift had queues over 2-4hrs with minor annoyances all along the way. Rift specifically I have queue pics with est over 6900 hrs at one point.

Alka-noid Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ugh, So still at work for another hour... and from a friend "The Fatman" server already has a queue of 700+ people. Typical Weekday: Work => Get home => wait 2 Hour Queue => Get in finally => Play 10min => Log off to Sleep => back to Work This is kind of unacceptable and frustrating.

It's people like you that find this acceptable. The issues started when Bioware listed servers as West Coast Servers and then they became Oceanic. Really you think that thats not a failure on there part ? You are prolly the same people telling people to just re-roll also. Nobody wants to hear that. What they want to hear is "We are offering free-transfers to placed guild and players in Long Que servers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXxGantzxXx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Still no fix??? I just got home from work and all I want to do is play, so I login and I get an 890 queue. It's says 60 min. wait but we all know that is BS. More like 180min. At least be honest and say how long we have to wait. Playing on another server just wont do. I was invited for pre-release play I already have some toons lvld up, not to mention our guild got placed in a server that is over populated. Why do you allow more people into a server if you know it's going to cause such traffic? Make a server and put a limit on the amount of people that can join that server. Problem solved. You guys have everything in your hands to fix this issue (which should have never happend after so much BETA testing) and yet you do nothing to please your customers? EPIC FAIL!!!
