Queues of Waterston

[Ghoest9]

Is this the new normal?
Im not liking it so much.
It must really suck as a non member.

So you have a queue to get into the game or the continent you want?

It logged me into VR(I wasnt there when I logged off.)

It would even let me in a queue for Indar and Ameresh. Ive now been in a queue for Esmir for over 10 minutes.


And Im a subscriber.

[Ghoest9]

Now after waiting 20 minutes in the Esmir queue in first place the whole time I left the queue.

After trying Indar again i renentered the queue - now Im in 15th place and it says 15 minute wait.





This is not right.

[DirtyBird]

Yeah subs is only for queue jumping login I think.

Keep an eye out for that pop up message asking if you want to move to the other continent as well.
I dont know why it just doesnt move you in the first place, that's why you queued.
But I have missed seeing that msg before and re entered the queue again.

We dont have queueing issues on Briggs and I know they can be a pain in the ass but I'd happily live with them because it means you have a healthy population.

(yes subs should also get some sort of queue jumping ability in game as well.)

You're playing on NC? You have 40% world pop. I suggest playing VS! We never have enough!
Also, server could be screwed up. At one point Indar went down tonight for ~5 minutes on Waterson.

[Ghoest9]

Ive been playing NC Waterston since day one.

Why would I want to become a 4th Empire twerp and play in purple tights.

[Chewy]

on firday and sunday I had a small 20 tick wait for the server but then sat for about an hour+ to join the ops those nights.

The line got up to 150 non-members and I was just rolling my reaver in the dirt the whole time while waiting in the WG.

[Hamma]

I've had Waterson queues for both logging into the game and getting around to different continents.

[Kail]

Never had a queue to login yet, but even as VS sometimes I need to wait a little for a contested continent (a minute tops).

[Artimus]

I've had to wait to get on the server, from that point I wait to get on my desired continent. Seems like it happens more often which is a good thing; the player base is expanding.

I've had a short queue both nights I logged in as my NC character over the weekend. When I say short, I mean less than 30 seconds.

Earlier tonight, though, I went to log in. It was taking a while, then it popped up with the queue window. I had a several minutes wait. But then the window just disappeared and I was back at the character select screen. I re-selected my NC, clicked Play, and it let me log right in.

And I'm a non-member.

I would rather play on a half empty server than wait 20 minute in a queue - especially when Im playing a subscription.

[Rbstr]

I haven't ever been in a log in queue. Or more than #2 member from continent to continent. But I play VS.

Sympathy is going to be hard to come by from this direction.

[krnasaur]

If there is an NC queue ill go faction hopping to keep it fair(or as fair as one person can make it). I had fun today and yesterday with my lazor gunz

[Mustakrakish]

I'd rather have to wait in a queue than have a low-population server. Remember what Waterson was like the week before the server merges? Everyplace except the Crown was a ghost town. :tear:

I have not had to wait 20+ minutes like others, usually no more then 10min combined. I also play subscription.

Indeed.
Like I said, play VS. Our longest queue is to get on Indar, it's usually a whole 1 person long! Sometimes it takes 10 seconds to get through it, which is rough, but it's not bad to get some downtime between slaughtering the smurfs and elmos.

btw, the current 4th faction is the NC not VS. The hipsters decided blue was the color of the quarter, purple is so last year.

[Sledgecrushr]

Whenever I play an alt its a vs character. I guess being on Connery is a mixed blessing when it comes to login ques. Lower pops = instant action.

[PurpleOtter]

The queues will disappear when the kiddies go back to school..

[Rbstr]

Most spring breaks were over at least week ago.

[Zakuak]

Waterson was rocking all weekend!

Only Que I saw was not a Q but rather Indar got nuked for a few minutes.

[Hamma]

I didn't sit in the queues long but I had them. :D

[Boildown]

I had to relog Friday or Saturday (I forget which) during prime time to fix my voice comms and I had to wait ~20 minutes to get back to my squad, as a member. Non-members had as many as 150 people in front of them, waiting for hours, if they wanted to play on a specific continent, or so I heard. But now that double XP is over it won't be so bad.

Not sure how or why but Jaegerson somehow recently became the most populated server.

[Wargrim]

I am much more happy with the current queues than with the pre - merge ghosttown that non - Indar continents were at times, however, the queues can be a pain when you try to assemble your squad on one continent.

[Ghoest9]

If you have to wait 20 minutes to play a game - your going to start playing a different game.
I hope last night was a one time anomaly.

[Palerion]

Well, I've never actually had to wait in a queue. I guess I'm just lucky...

[Hamma]

Good timing I guess. :D

[SGOniell]

Longest wait I had was like 20 minutes, on Waterson no less.

Not in all cases, use to wait 2hrs+ to get onto Blackrock in WoW.
Even had scripts so we could log in while at work so it would be gtg by the time we got home. It even kept you "active" in case it logged in before you got there.

Does PS2 make you keep the character active during a 20min continent wait or does it disconnect you if you are not moving around?

[Ghoest9]

I quit WOW - because of that endgame instance crap.
