Is wow classic going to be the worst blizzard launch in US History?

Medium pop server, 2 hour queue, about what was expected, not any worse than any of their previous launches, dlc updates. It is what it is, by tomorrow it will settle down a lil and wait times will probably be 1/2. Feels just like classic haha =D

Whitemane still has a 25k Q time. See the issue is lots of people who haven’t played in years called up there old friends and took the initial servers. So they’re now stuck as some got on and some didn’t. Now if blizzard would have released 30 at the start i don’t think you would be seeing these issues. But they botched it and didn’t listen to anybody.

76 was a disaster. This is an inconvenience. If this is status quo after a week, I’m with you on the disaster thing.

They may be able to reissue the game but they really can’t re-release the experience. That only happens once.

There is only one first time for anything. There is no chance Blizzard can deliver on the expectations many have for classic

I stood outside in the freezing cold to buy WotLK at the physical midnight release in 2008 at my local Gamestop and couldn’t get into the game on my high pop server for 3 days.

Much, much, worse? Might be time for a wellness check. This launch is slight work.

even though you saw the server populations your still acting surprised there is a queue?

forums are hilarious, we all knew this was going to happen, and we all know its going to calm down once the hype dies down a bit yet everyone is still acting like they are in total shock

i expect when i get home from work there will be a queue, the last thing i would do would be to jump on the forums and throw a tanty.

some of you need to grow up

Another vote for the Warlords launch. Was so bad I skipped taking time off for the Legion launch so I wouldn’t just waste PTO.

Cata launch and MoP launch were ok, if memory serves.

Well, ya know. A lot of people have jobs and stuff and didn’t get there at 3:00 pm on a workday! (PST)

Sooo When we have one single realm for OCE, and a queue of 12,000 people (6-7 hours)

Is growing up still your suggestion?

Eh… wut?

How quickly people forget the WoD launch

I’m on a medium pop server with a 335 minute wait time…

Did you not anticipate this? Hello? The game is going to be wildly popular, easily more popular than anything Blizzard has launched in a decade.

Never take day 1 off! Even day 2 isn’t safe sometimes.

I’d aim for a long weekend now that im old enough and in a good enough position to have PTO to burn. Release on Tuesday? Take Friday, Monday, and Tuesday off.

I guess someone didn’t play WoD at launch.

Does Q times matter when it took me 50 min to kill 10 Vermin? Another 30 mintues to kill 8 wolves?! Even if you get in, you cant really “play”

Y’all complain to much. Waiting in queues for a couple days is a small price to pay for healthy populated servers when all the retail babies go back to BFA. Do something else while your in queue? It’s not that big a deal, i promise.

The Cata and MoP launches were smooth enough, and I started sinking some serious time into the game at the end of MoP, so I thought ‘what the hey, let’s do the gross thing and not bathe and mainline coffee and have snacks and stuff!’

And boy, oh boy. I at least didn’t encounter any garrison funny business back then, just the queue monster. Now I know that if I wanted to take time off for Classic I’d probably do it in about 3-6 weeks.

im on grobulus the only rp-pvp server and its says my server is Medium population. and I have been waiting in Q for over 3 hours and my EST. time is still 184 mins @ 3,845 in Q.

this isn’t a customer not listening problem , this is a sh1tty , cheap, blizzard company problem . in 2019 this is 100% on blizzard. Fortnite has over 100 million players logging in and out every day with ZERO PROBLEMS .
