So like everyone else I’m not a fan of this queue crap but whatever. What I would like to know is how it works. This morning I fired up D2R on my computer and about five minutes later on my wife’s. Blizzard can you please explain to me how I entered this line first be she connected before me?

the real question is why is there a queue in the first place when its not even prime time NA
It works like this:
queuePos() {
return int.random(100,1000);
}

We know the answer to that, blizzard is about completely useless but Id imagine server issues can be complicated. My question is very basic. How can they screw up handing out numbers for a line… one two skip a few…
Because the game is Global and has cross platform progress. Your data all feeds into the Global Database which we all have to be connected to.
It is not Regional for this game. So Global population surge is Afternoon EU, Evening South Korea/Australia, and Morning US. By evening US the others are in bed and we don’t have queues.
I don’t think it is a real time updating line. It is sort of a vague number to give you an idea that you will be waiting for a while. It does not update in real time either. I just think of it as a random metric. Low number means maybe 15 mins, over 100 30 mins, over 150 or 200 then maybe an hour.
I think you failed to read… let me simplify it. If you have a system designed to spread the amount of people logging in at one time to something that does it over time, how does some one who joined several minutes after make it through first.
They like her better, obviously.
And I can understand why.
Blizzard is turning over a new leaf. They now have systems in place that have detected your wife’s computer as a non-male connection. As a result of their new anti-male recruiting practice, they pushed your wife’s female computer ahead of the males in the queue and to the end of the female priority queue line.

Required? Ok Karen. I’m sure the manager will be with you soon.

Hate to break it to you but they’re not required to give you any sort of answer. Your post comes across as childish and entitled.
Sexism is blizzard’s new policy. Men go to the back of the line.
The only thing required is you waiting in the queue.
There are multiple login servers, each with a unique queue.
It is possiblele to leave the queue and rejoin to find a login server that puts you in a better position, or you might end up in a worse position. Roll the dice.
