RathSartaro Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 In my new ' im a casual gamer' stance. I log on and queue all quite happily being the great customer that i am. I get to 120 in the queue and internet drops. 'Ach' i say to myself and quickly get back on. ERROR your already logged onto this server. hmm, ill wait a while. Log back into queue at 430. This casual gamer stance just isnt working for me. 3 hours play time, an hour and a half in a queue. I would laugh if i was paying for this. Oh wait.....

Lazzer Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 what and then I cant play with my friends? That would simply come down to communication, start all together on the same server ect or if they started before you then server space will come free later after people leave or accounts become inactive. There are always server transfers to solve that problem. It's simply my personal preference and it wouldn't effect pre-launch guilds as they all got server allocations.

Raiyyn Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm doing my best to be understanding and keep telling myself "it's pre-launch, this can't be an issue that will continue beyond a couple of weeks into live game launch", but it gets harder everyday. A queue of 5-10 mins is understandable and reasonable. A queue starting 20 mins to an hour that increases as you're waiting and ends up being 30 mins to 2 hours is unreasonable by any standpoint, even during pre-launch. Do something about the queue's...more than just saying you know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWhiting Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Do something about the queue's...more than just saying you know about it. They ARE. Have a bit of patience They've already nixed one of the afk cheats, they'll get more as they go about it. As they do so, queues will start to go down more and more and more. Of course, they'll have to bring more servers up and force transfers, but they'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakuras Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Twice now i have disconnected at the end of Boarding Party -flashpoint conversation, and not being able to get back in because of the 30 minute queue.

MareLooke Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Well, the queues will certainly go down, once people's early access runs out and they are seriously sick of them... Seriously, I don't want to be queueing for over 30min when I get home and want to relax. Edited December 19, 2011 by MareLooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemeses Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) The server wait times are there because they terrified of a bad launch, and I think technically a little bit inept, so they have kept the server caps very low. Same what Rift did to make sure they had a stable release. What gets me 7 years ago (roughly) when lotro came out they had 20 times on the server than what we have today. This will cost them more money than they saving by penny pinching, but like most MMO developers, they NEVER learn lessons. Just think its lot to do with laziness where BW are concerned, tons of lazy coding in this game, but hey ho we will see.

Rilohn Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Since I am queued up on the ONLY EU English RP-PVP server I sure hope they add more for launch or it will be horrific trying to get in game. Surprised to see so many queues for an early start. Invest in bigger servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenaMarie Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Personally, I think if queues are needed, a server is overpopulated. From my experience, packing tons of people on one server causes bad gameplay experiences instead of good like bioware claims, and I've seen this in TOR too. 1. Lag, lots of people causes more lag. 2. Rampart killstealing, people blatantly run around killing bosses on timers instead of grouping together 3. quest stealing, lots of people causes problems with others stealing quest objectives in the world and thats just the top three. I really hope in the future biwoare considers the ramifications of making every server Read heavy. Maybe some people like 100s of people fighting over mobs, loot and quests instead of grouping but thats the reality of it. Most people arent the decent, Lets group up since so many people are here types. Edited December 19, 2011 by LenaMarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol_Taril Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 OK, let's have a look at TOFN (yeah, Tomb of one great sith) server. Login: Estimated wait: 1h 05m. Real wait: 3h 30m. In game: IF (Imperial fleet): 150 ppl in, lags, say 20fps when about 50-60 ppl are around. Nar Shaddaa: 140ppl in (1 shard of 2), 60fps when about 40 ppl around. Why? P.S. Corriban, starting area, 120ppl in (1 shard of 3), about 80ppl around at Sith Academy entrance and... 50fps! I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennor Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) How about designating some EU servers to Russian, Spanish, Italian Etc Etc communities? That way the ENGLISH EU realms will be in English language and the queues will shorten as these communities go to their OFFICIAL servers, because right now all these UNOFFICIAL 'Insert random country' Servers are to blame. It will only get worse with launch because these communities have already distributed the server names for their countrymen to head to. I've rerolled on another server from LoL because of the queues and because of the lack of english spoken in general... least now I can play in English and have no queues Edited December 19, 2011 by Zennor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrath Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) How Many Posts and People Complaining will it take to get you guys to fix the Que Problem and over populated server problem?I think the answer is when you see your customers get fed up and leave your game.Sad because your game is great but the people running the servers are another story. Not only does this effect players that have payed but 3 people from my office at work now said they wont buy the game because they herd the ques are a joke and the server lags because of over population. ( and they didn't hear the this from me ) I think its a very bad move on BIOWARE/EA's part to let there great work go to crap because the server techs don't know what there doing. Heres a hint.... People are not going to pay to sit in ques... Period. Edited December 19, 2011 by Damrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharkinBastage Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 grace period for when the game crashes. I just crashed for my first time a few minutes ago, and now I have to sit in a 400 person queue, and it didn't even take a minute to log in. Not cool at all. Give us a window to relog, just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motovilov Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Today I waited in queue for 40 minutes then the connection to the server died and I had to start all over again. Once I finally got in, the connection died again after 5 minutes and I had to requeue all over again. Ridiculous... Fix the damn random diconnections practically everyone is having or give us a 5 minute grace period to skip the queue once we get disconnected.

urbantoki Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 thats the sad thing...a LOT of people are finding ways to just stay logged in, cheating the system. people like that, people on winter break, etc will just stay logged in so they'll pay the subscription. people that are huge star wars fans will most likely pay in hopes that things WILL get better in the future.... i think BW has made it clear that they don't really care which is hard to believe being the huge company they are. I'm thoroughly surprised at how BW is not addressing the issue with REAL answers. Its ok if you weren't ready for launch...things happen...just tell us what you're actually doing to fix it and how long it'll be until things are ok.

WinHac Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 These wait times are BS more instance servers need to be brought online for these servers . I had 2hour wait for the server you assigned my guild. Why did they allow these servers to be so over populated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbantoki Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 my server is about 3-4 hours standard. I was mad when it was a 15 minute wait, then livid when it got to an hour, so mad I shut my computer off at 2 hours and yea...now, at 3-4 hours, i'm just about to uninstall lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi-Readyz Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I wait half an hour to get in (That's a miracle compared to some) and then I find the game is borderline unplayable due to monumental amounts of lag. This was on the Ravager server. FIX THIS NOW. And no it's not my computer my specs easily surpass the min reqs. by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coille Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It was easy to get in when I first got access but now the queue get longer and the lag time increases. I also find my character treading water a lot which makes it painful to play. Hope it gets sorted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
