Holy shizzle the swtor queue time !

KINGPIN

Wow 45 mins for basilik driod ?

Decision time, stick with same server or move?

Will this happen another server ?

I think i might stick with it and hope queue times go down over time !

Dcully

Every server is the same, my current queue position is 1082 on Frostclaw

GarethBah

I'd stick with Basilisk Droid :pac:

KINGPIN

Are all the waves sent out or something , that the servers are swamped ?

KINGPIN

Sorry didnt realise they were talking about this in another thread !

Sticking with BK anyways !

Dcully

Just came back to the pc hoping to be logged in after 1 hr 15 mins and still 460 ahead of me in the queue, **** that goodnight!

I rolled on Kai-kan and no queues at all tonight, only pvp server like that. I'm in the irc chat of the tofn server and the whining is pretty epic.

Ah well Basilisk Droid is a FULL realm. Unfortunately I dont think Ill be joining the Irish guild so. Ill join a heavy server at most.

i recommend you stick it out, it will be like this till the dust settles. I feel your pain though, i pressed to enter Warzone and the game crashed and facing a 50 min queue atm. In the long run it will benefit you to stick with it, more craic with us guys here

Seriously considering re rolling from frostclaw server, seems to have the longest queues in Europe.
Ill be guildless then however.

New games are always like this for the first couple of week. Better to be on a full server now, than an empty server in a couple of weeks when the initial surge dies down.

Yip EVERY mmo starts like this

Exactly. I remember queueing on emerald dream when naxx 40 got released.

Is there any other servers where Irish guilds are rolling?

Yes but my point is some servers are worse than others,Frostclaw is 2 hours easily.
Some are only 10 min queues.

DesertFox

There seems to be a couple of Irish on the Republic side on Kai-kan and absolutely no queues so far.
Also everyone seems to speak English as that's the only language I've seen in General over the last 3 days.

Since there was a limited supply of copies of swtor to help have a smooth launch, I would say 90% were preorders and will be in early access at some point. Very few people will be joining on launch day

And if a lot of new people join what realm will they pick? I certainly wouldn't be choosing any realm with a high queue time, would be looking at a medium size realm with no hassle logging in or out.

I remember in Aion i had a que of 100 hours :eek:

On frostclaw the Queues are getting worse 2+ hours now i wish they would open up the login server more

RichieD

Was queueing for about an hour on Basilisk droid last night.

Not sure why they dont just boost the login servers or whatever it takes to lower the queues.

The server definately doesn't seem overpopulated to me.

I will be Planning to pick it up in gamestop on the day.

Yeah but most people here and the Irish guild is on a high queue realm.

I am in a EU/US Guild playing on the East Coast US Port Nowhere Server. I play mainly 8pm - midnight (ish) Irish Time and have not yet had to Queue once. Ping is a fairly constant 100-130ms. Might be a route for people to consider if Queuing is exceptionally bad on the EU servers at primetime.

Doubt the above.

Preorders in Europe were extremely low.

The US has three times the amount of servers to cope with the amount of US pre orders, Europe ahd very little in comparison.


Alot of people have learened you dont need to pre order anymore, so I'd say there will be a fair amount of people arriving in tomorrow on the 20th, believe me.

I went into Gamestop to see them charging me €50 ( robbing ****s) where HMV are reported to be selling for €40-45.

I'd say tomorrow will see a large spike in players.

C.D.

Spent an hour queuing and got dc'd randomly. When I tried to re-queue I got error 1002- apparently if you get dc'd while in a queue the system keeps you in the queue and you cannot re-join the queue until the original period is up. So if I had not given up tonight, I'd spend 2 and a half hours trying to get in- this is simply not feasible if you work and commute. Sure it would almost be time for bed before I'd get on.

I am not sure I will bother playing- my mates are 12 levels ahead of me so even in the unlikely event I do get in and can play, I won't be able to do it with my mates and am too far behind to catch up.

I know everyone says queues are par for the course for an MMO- but this is my first one and the concept of having to wait 90+ mins to play something I have bought is just bizarre to me. I can't play any other game otherwise both will crash. There would be uproar if you paid for any other entertainment product and had this wait- could you imagine going to the cinema, paying and waiting hours to watch the movie?

60 minutes queue on BD. Don't mind it today, as i've stuff to do while queueing. But if this gets any worse, than i'm off somewhere else. Not worth queueing for an hour to play for an hour.
