RocketJack Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm totally amazed by the lack of logic being displayed by most of the complainers. Read this and understand: adding new servers will not help. There are plenty of light and standard load servers right now. People aren't willing to go to them. Adding new servers will just create more servers that people won't move to. The only legitimate beef is with RP-PVP servers. They could use one more of those per zone. But otherwise, it's a waste of time and money. I agree with you. More servers are not the answer. They need to increase the number of players each server can handle. 2+2=4.

Lowjak Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 To help a tiny bit with the queues ... what about allowing people with existing characters on a particular server to jump to the head of the queue? Set the priority to the date they joined that server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamishiro Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I can see how queues are indeed useful. I really, truly can. However, I agree that there should be a free guild transfer allowed to one of the several servers I see at any time of day (and night, as a matter of fact) listed as either "light" or "standard". I would really appreciate not having to roll a new character away from my new guild family because Bioware put most of the early access guilds on the same servers. We have the technology. We have the space available. We can abolish (most) if not all queue times with this otherwise heavenly game. Please, Bioware gods (admins), hear the pleas of your faithful and alleviate our pain in this time of great distress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidalgo Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 being put in the queue at 999, it now being 630, i foresee much forum trolling in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browneyedgrl Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 this problem has been going on since the 13th. it is just getting worse. sure, i'll wait a month. right after they give me an extra 30 days of free playtime. i have 3 days grace period before i need to input my cd key. if i can't get a refund through origin (i probably can't), i'll just have amex do a chargeback. love american express We'll say it again the official launch release was TODAY. We don't know that its something that can be fixed within a week or less..unless you make or have involvement in the creation of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubernate Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 IDEA: I'm sure someone has said this and it has been overlooked as will be this.... But here goes ... Free Server Transfers OUTBOUND from servers with prime time queues of (300?)+ I mean ffs my dog sniffs my ethernet cable and knocks it out, now I have an 80 minute wait to resume my quest. Not cool I am so impressed with Bioware and Dice thus far, I have faith they will do something soon. Just need to vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the priority to the date they joined that server. If they cant implement free transfers the coding needed for this is well beyond their capabilities.

FifthDread Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 FREEEEEEEEEEEE SERVER TRANSFERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS PLeASE. Agreed. Since my server queue was unbearable at 300, now that it is sitting at over 700 I am very displeased. My friends enticed me to join Shadow Hand only to be cursed? This is BS. an hour wait is unacceptable. And what is the deal with you idiots trying to defend the developers? I know that the server requirements are high for launch, but not offering a way to transfer is just ridiculous for a title that is supposed to compete with the MMO market. It is not difficult to implement a server transfer. Now I know you have a lot of pieces to the puzzle from the web development standpoint, the database standpoint, and whatever else is involved... However, they have had months to work out these things, even during beta they could have started developing a server transfer method. This is common sense if you ask me, and should have been developed along side of the current build of both the server architecture and the website.

Mythmakr Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 the que problem we have is getting on my last nerve! Bioware .... you will lose more people than you know from this if it is not fixed SOON! This is going on 3-4 days of extreme que's. AND NO, re-rolling new characters on a new server is NOT an option for GUILDS that have multiple people that have spend the past week building characters!

Alka-noid Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Will an extra 1000 people really crash each server? They did a stress test for a reason during Beta... They even have "Instances" per zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackOnTheMap Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 IMO, queues are less of an issue than the instancing inside the zones is. Full servers should feel full. It took me a half-hour to get a group for The Hate Machine. There should be players all over the place (like it was in beta) and there are..but it seems like there aren't. Instancing is killing the game more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsaur Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 So, to enjoy the game with multiple friends in multiple areas of the world I rolled on a couple different servers. I just sat in line for an hourish to get on what I thought was the server I last played on. (We can see where this is going). Now I'm at the back of a 1000 person line to get on to my primary server. Attempting to level together with this nonsense is nearly impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience its not a solution for individuals cos each time i re roll so do many others then my new server is full...

Neeseek Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Half an hour of your time isn't going to kill you. I get home from work, first thing I do is put myself into queue. I go, make/heat up dinner.. proceed to eat/read forums and relax for half an hour and play. I'm sure many of you can do this, it's not a big deal.
