Ive had it with these god forsaken overflow servers

CastillleCastillle Member UncommonPosts: 2,679
This makes grouping a PAIN. Seriously.  Im trying to play wit hmy friend but I cant.  Were in a party, I right click and join and bam nothing happens.  So we both relog and this tim she right clicks me and joins and she gets teleported but for some reason, were still not in the same god forsaken server. SO instead we wait and pray that we get in the actual server but no we just cant and weve been trying to get together for the passed 2 hours and nothing -.-  FFS

    Strange, the join-functionality was one of the few systems that actually worked for me.

    join up should be fixed at least it was this morning..anythings better than 4+ hour queues which is what we would have right now without the overflow

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    We've had issues too. All we've done is change zones together and it resolves the problem. Logging in and out didn't. We use our HoM stone and it works like a charm!

    All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.

    I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.

    I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

    I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.

    LOL 4 hour queues.....yeah right.

    Try 24 hour queues if there wasn't an overflow.  :)

    Yeah, I'd much rather be waiting in a queue staring at the number go down like in TOR...

    Anet gives us an amazing new feature that allows us to actually play the game while we wait to join our server.. and we complain about it.

    I thought they fixed this?

    1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.

    2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.

    3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

    Agreed.  I will usually add the person to my group. We both hop into like Divinity Reach, then hop into whatever zone, and at least we are on the overlow or not on the overflow together. Not a great solution, but as a previous poster stated, it beats a queue of 400+ people not being able to play.

    There Is Always Hope!

    just wait until the population settles. Its the same with all other mmos the only difference is you can actually play in this one instead of looking a number go down while the population settles.

    Join up was working for me yesterday but it hasnt worked at all today >.<  And as for the long queues...Well...I get bumped into the overflow the moment I switched maps so I dont get why they didnt just go with SWTOR/CO style instanced maps and just allow people to switch if their friend is in another instance -.-

    I dont really remember getting queues for SWTOR or anything else when changing maps o.O just for the initial log in but after that, no more queues.

    @OP, I have had the same problem with "join in" not working. TBH to have that as the biggest problem for me at a games launch is a pro. I assume they will fix it and everything will be gaming as usual. I do understand your frustration though, most of the times in order to fix this my friends and i zone into the capital city, and then zone into the area we both want to play together in. Most of the times this works at least until they fix the join issue.

    I think I know why, it IS (it's been tested, this isn't a hunch, this IS why) due to instances. When you leave, the game believes you're still in an instance.


    Since the game thinks you're in an instance, it doesn't display send the clients your information, only if you're nearby (because it shows everyone's info nearby).

    The join up feature is still messed up as of 10-15 mins ago. It works half the time then poof, no more.

    Awesome!  My wife and I will have to try this tonight.  While it's not necessarily a game-breaking problem, none the less, the ease of grouping was one of the major selling points of this game, so to have this much frustration trying to play with friends is bad ju-ju!

    I can't believe you guys would rather wait in a queue than deal with an overflow server. It has worked fine for me.  /shrug

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

    A queue that resets itself with every map change yes.

    EDIT: Even though the title implies the idea of overflow servers is bad. He's not really complaining about them. He's complaining about how the group/party feature doesn't really work in them. That is a real issue and will probably/hopefully get addressed

    Yeah I share your pain; had the same issues in vain trying to group with a friend for a whole day.

    NEEDS TO BE FIXED PRONTO!
