skarlson Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Again I am stuck in a queue. No matter what time of day it is I am stuck in one. I moved once to a less populated server which became populated. I am not rerolling again. Fix this! How many times must people say this before it actually happens?

kopecs Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 What''s sad is i know people who are making macro''s to keep their character moving in game while they go sleep. The server line-up is getting a bit rediculous with hour or more wait times. Not jsut 15-20 minutes or so. Something really needs to be done about this.

infante Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) This is getting crazy! For real.. Common Bioware! You've made a great game, but people's experiences right now are key to your long term success. I understand that you can't guarantee no queues, but that should definitely be your goal and right now you are very, very far from that goal. It should be your goal cause every minute someone doesn't play the game when they are available to, they are becoming more and more unsatisfied with it, not matter how good it is (and rightfully so), cause there are a bunch of games out there who are also very good, that you don't have to pay monthly for and that at the moment are much more accessible than this game. The solution isn't to tell people to start new characters on other servers, the obvious solution is to allow free character transfers ASAP. It's not even Christmas yet and you guys are already have this crazy trouble. Don't take your early success for granted Bioware, please fix this before people start developing bad attitudes about the game.

Oggintcuf Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Mark me down as the n millionth person pleading for server moves. Even just idle observation on how other MMO's have functioned could have shown you that this feature would be needed. I'd be slightly embarrassed by how the server loading has gone if I was in charge of planning these things.

enigmacypher Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 waiting again in line to get onto the server this didn't occur prior to the launch and i have to wait till friday night for EGA to staggered admit. wondering if and when there will be server moves as i am all for that when you still have light servers and all the new people joined the full servers anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieryWinds Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 FYI, if you read the patch notes from last night, they added this feature: "Players who are disconnected while in the queue to join a server now retain their position upon logging back in within a reasonable amount of time." http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was dc''d in the middle of a space battle and went right to the end of the que. That was less than two hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblamcvy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I got d/c''d while tanking in a FP. Some error window popped up I totally didn''t read because I was trying to get back in the game. 213 in Queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraytkeeper Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I don''t see why they didn''t take example from other games and allow server transfers. Rift allows you to transfer once every 3 days. I think that''s too short of a time, but at least the option is there. Once a month seems reasonable, and would allow the server Q''s to alleviate by dispersing some population to less populated servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if they expanded it to include those currently in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neithyn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Let me transfer my character to a less populated server please. It''ll help me out and it''ll help out server population balances. A win-win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goliagen Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The thing about these queues is that if I get disconnected from a server and try to get right back on, I''m stuck in a damned 25 minute or longer queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Ten Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I''m gonna say it just for repetition so bioware sees all the support for this idea. Allowing free transfers one a month or something like that would clear the problem up almost over night. I''ve never had a queue time in Rift.

Nairac Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) A 20 minute queue is acceptable as far as I''m concerned, nobody should be queuing for longer than 20 minutes though. Edited December 22, 2011 by Nairac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spetsnazos Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 2 hour queue into Iron Citadel. I dont even know why I bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeKing Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Ok, sitting in a queue to play is horrible, but not as bad as it could be. What is worse ? Simple- lose connectivity in the middle of a flashpoint (guilides get irritated- trust me on that one) or while questing- better yet in combat ! When you try to log back in, guess what- there is a queue wait. When you are finally in, you are dead for SURE. Honestly, I signed up for the duration, but I may change my mind if this DOES NOT get better in the next couple weeks. By then, they will have had plenty time to get this right.

Rukhh Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Seems much better this evening. Most servers are showing as standard, and my server is only a 15 minute queue when it used to be 1-1.5 hours. Haven't seen an official post, but they definitely raised the population cap per server. If you're reading this BW, just a little more on Helm of Graush please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bivrington Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Definately looks like caps were raised on some servers. My EGA server went from 2 hour queue time to being a standard-heavy server overnight, thank god! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyknightandy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) TO BIOWARE!! Alright Bioware people you guys need to stop worring about making more servers and make the servers bigger and combine them together. Not something hard to DO HONESTLY YOU GUYS NEED TO DO THAT!!!!! I CAN DO A BETTER JOB THEN YOU GUYS.The easy way in making servers bigger is combining them and so you guys need to combine all the PVP servers together thats in the same regions. If you guys still don't understand what i am saying send me an e-mail and ill help you guys out with the broblem if you guys are to much of baby to figurre it out its not hard its very easy use your head BIOWARE AND STOP BEING STUPID! Were you guys dropped as a baby by any chance? Edited December 23, 2011 by skyknightandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arggonuts Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Because an obnoxiously colored wall of text claiming you are better than hired professionals will really get you anywhere. On topic though, these queues make me sad. I'm on vacation using a 3G connection to try to play between outings. Needless to say, I get booted back to the queue, a lot. A system that lets you resume your crashed link would be nice so we don't have to re-queue for a disconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
