EPTLike this they are alienating all the "wasn't really interested but will give it a shot" people hard. I will still play, i don't even mind much, the situation is just hilariously horrible.I didn't expect to see much playtime in the first 2-3 days because i can only play during prime time, now that it's so bad? I doubt i will be able to get into it during the weekend....

Queue time is also totally bonkers broken. In 30 minutes, my queue time went down 4 minutes | ||

Anyways, I am going to do that remote teamviewer thing to log in from work tomorrow... It feels cheap but everyone is doing it. I'd like to play when I get home from work. | ||

I'd rather they have long queues than have dead servers in the future, little bit of sacrifice for the greater good right?

Yeah, its really the only option. It is not possible to try to login when you want to play. | ||

The queue times are only high on certain servers, extremely populated servers or low queue - pick one! Performance has actually been great for me, world server is very obviously much more responsive and consistent ever since i hit level 5 and the initial wave of thousands of simultaneous logins + layer splits got over with, actually better than i've seen in WoW for years. When you have 15ms ping on classic it actually means 15ms ping and not "well i'l think about casting the spell 0.25 seconds later, maybe play the animation and sound but not actually cast it sometimes" bullshit that we get with BFA's version of sharding. At this point i think that the CPU or other resource load on the servers due to moving people between phases etc plays a large role in that horrible server processing lag that has plagued the live game for a long time now. Also easier on the FPS which is always nice, both CPU and GPU load only a fraction of live. | ||

Or was it just a quiet time for EU? My performance is great once I'm actually in game but I have friends across 3-4 US servers that all have 5-10k+ queues still. All of which weren't from the "original" batch, just ones added in the last couple days. The rate seems to be consistent around 1000 queue drop per hour or so funny enough, so yeah, queues of 5k+ means multiple hours, even with large chunks of people leaving due to zone crashes or whatever (that's how I got in today around dinner time, had already been waiting over an hour from 5k to 2.5k ish and then suddenly got in, friend at 4k said he dropped to <1k lol) The questing is still busy and frustrating at times, waiting for named mobs or certain pickups to spawn, but I guess that's to be expected until everyone spreads out. But the stability is there it seems. Just that initial wall to get in in the first place that's crazy... Don't know what they'll do. | ||

The waiting times are ridiculous, the 3 German servers i tried all had +50.00 minutes… So probably more like 80 minutes because that timer ain't worth shit. And after a bit over an hour i got disconnected (no error on my side) and sat immediatly in the next 7X Minute queue, it was bedtime anyway so i didn't care but this is really harming the launch. | ||

Couple hours after peak when i showed up my server had a half hour queue and there was a pvp server open with no queue at all, the new one. When actually ingame though the server performance is shockingly good compared to BFA. | ||

It also doesn't really help you when many people you want to play with allready have decided on a server… "Just go to a low pop one" yeah right. | ||
