The queue

This is an example of how the queue works in this game.

It's hard to read, sorry.  I finally got into a 7 person queue, left for a min came back and got 1017.

    That looks about right...

    I was stable most of the day other than 1 D/C. I logged off to switch character and 'server full'.

     

    Lol. I thought there was queuing going on but apparently only during lower capacity times.

     

    Sigh.

    I wish they had a long queue.  I don't mind if it's an hour or w/e.

    I'll go do something else and wait my turn.  What sucks is having a server full and not knowing when you can actually play your character.

    I've been number 247 in Queue before, that long enough?

    I had got 1012 before my above post.  Tried to log in after above post was made, was put in queu at at 182, and now I'm in.  That was quick!

    long enough for what?  They don't have long queues.  What they have is server full, you can't play your character.  What they have is people AFKing for hours, so the servers are always full.

    So no.  247 in queue is not long enough.

    The point was that if you have a queue number on the screen that is counting down however slowly, you have an idea that you have a chance.

     

    You can do things offline and it at least gives you a feeling of 'hope' as opposed to 'server full' and start over. No idea if 1 try will get in or 100 or not at all.

    Which in return has people constantly hitting their servers trying to log in and causing more traffic/strain on the systems.  As opposed to queuing them up in a an orderly fashion.

    You people must rather enjoy beating your own heads against a brick wall.  I thought about doing the pre-order to get in over the weekend, until I found out about the issues.  I'll check the game out in a week or two when it settles down.

    A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

    There ya go bro! That is the way to man up! That's what i'm talking about homie!

     

     

    Same here, I would rather have an honest queue than to be jerked around and not know what is going on at all, too bad people always complain about queues also, but maybe now they will realize it is the better option.
