Evil_Greven posted:These queue times will be crippling for anyone wanting to play. Old Man Cho has no queue it seems, and looks fairly busy. This by itself should tell you just how much they've hosed up the game. You're going to a low pop server and it sounds like they're more or less at capacity on it, and spawns are hosed up. Now add 5x the people? Game needs to up spawns like 20x. At least from what I had seen in the tech preview, anyway. I'll find out afterwards. I can't say I'd feel like even $1 is worth it towards the BNS team so far.

I think that after the first month queues will be very low or non-existent. For the first 3 weeks or so I could see them being pretty bad still. It's too bad we can't server transfer later. https://twitter.com/bladeandsoul/status/688088097955811328 I think PvP is cross server, I don't know about PvE stuff though

While that's fine, the game rewards certain amounts of world PvP so an eventually empty server would be a bad thing. e; One hour in queue, have gone from 65 minutes to 60 minutes with 1914 people in line. I feel like there's a joke to make about NCSoft here but I'm not sure. Bombogenesis fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Jan 16, 2016 |

There is no sense in complaining about queue times in the first day of an early release. The populations will normalize VERY quickly especially with the F2P launch, so stay the course. Every time someone advocates switching based on a ~12 hour server uptime, often goons end up on a dead server. Just try and stay with it. When they implement AFK disconnects it will help a LOT also, I've been abusing the poo poo out of the no-logout timer all day. PS - Spawn times seem fine, I've had no problem killing mobs.

Even Wow still has server queue's on expansion pack release days. This is always a thing, and nothing to be alarmed about. It will continue for weeks and stop once you quit, since you will quit +/- 3 days of everyone else.

I'm not surprised it's like this, I'd just like to be able to play reliably this month, so personally I'll be rolling on Cho with another goon for now. If i'm with the game by the time everything normalizes I guess I can just reroll?

I'm just here to PvP and thats cross server anyway. I have a bunch of founders pack crap. If I log into OMC is it all going to x-fer on that character? I'd rather hold off on that stuff until I watch the queue on mushin for a while and see what goons are up to.

While we’re continuing to monitor the game service, by and large the only service issue we’ve been tracking has been that a large number of people are congregating on just a couple servers out of all of those available, resulting in some high wait times to play on those servers. To help ensure player populations are evenly spread out across all servers, we will be implementing a rotating schedule that will restrict the creation of new characters per server. Please see the below schedule for the times in which new characters cannot be created for each server. Mushin Old Man Cho and Iksanun until midnight PST today. e; According to the o-forums there's a patch planned tomorrow to show your exact place in the queue, but I can't find a post pointing to it other than a link to a stream.

If you still want to play with a specific group of goons then just wait for all the poo poo to settle down, work out which group ended up where and server transfer later (probably for cash). Unless you happen to be on the same server anyway.

Joining Jiwan if any other goons join lemme know and we can at least friend eachother and bitch about queues

Thanks, I'll be playing the game instead of staring at a countdown timer for the next month. When you get in enjoy trying to compete against 1000 other players to complete quests. I love the launch rush but my time is more valuable then that.

There's always 20 different channels you can hop between until you find a low amount of players. Worked out for me aside from loving crashing every other cutscene.

There's no farmville this time so who cares if you end up on a server that dies eventually? You just transfer off and lose nothing.

If you need help with a dungeon or general advice for "How the gently caress do I even..", feel free to message Dodgin on Mushin. If you haven't found a guild and aren't goon guilding I set a small one if you feel the need to have a tag over your head. The guild name is WRESTLEMANIA, and we generally focus on crafting shitloads of needed items, arenas, and camping the hell out of people in wpvp. It's small and probably will remain so. It's also Crimson Faction
