I was jonesing to play so bad, I left the ques and leveled on an oceanic realm, with the frickin aussies, they already said my butt stinks! Don’t leave me here!
This HOTFIX did sh*t for Queue times. Pagle is still overloaded 5K queue. My guild of around 90 people have gotten far enough that they do not want to start over. Yet if you could transfer the entire guild to a new server we would go. Otherwise we are not leaving and almost half if not more will just cancel their subscriptions. As MANY of us in the community told you that you started out with too few servers, you could have double the amount of starting servers at least. Yet you think you all know what the hell you are doing yet you dont.
I’m assuming they don’t expect these current numbers to hold up so when layering is dismissed, we won’t be waiting with nearly as many people to login.
it must be strange to play the game upside-down.
Yeah man, I agree. It leaves the people with 9-5s at a huge disadvantage. By the time we get home and start up the queue, we get in - maybe… - right before we have to hit the hay for tomorrow. I kind of wish they would allow free transfers from high pop to low pop servers. At least this would give friends who have the ability to play earlier in the day an incentive to join us on the the lower population realms… because God knows that’s the only way we are getting on Classic. lol
when are you guys going to fix this for those who have jobs? im tired of not being able to play a game I looked forward to and have already put time into my guild is playing and I cant get in because I have a job and go to work? this is extremely stupid at this point.
Whatever you guys did, it made it worse! I logged in yesterday to whiteMane at 3pm. I was 20K+ in the queue and ~450minutes on the timer. I ended up getting in about 9pm. So 6 hour queue. Today I logged queued for WhiteMane at 1pm. The timer is ridiculously wrong. It first said I was 4k in the queue and about 140min wait. Here it is almost 6pm, 5 hours after initial queue and I’m sitting at 1445/30min - The time hasn’t changed from the 30-40min range for 3 hours. The queue is moving way, way, way slower than it was yesterday. At this rate, my queue time will be at least 2 hours, perhaps even 3 hours longer than yesterday. I figured I would get in a decent time before having to go to bed tonight by logging 2 hours earlier. Nope. Whatever changes you guys made didn’t do anything for the wait time…
Sorry, Blizz, but after waiting on Skeram for 3 hours and 30 minutes only to move up 600 in the queue, with another 1820 to go, I think you might want to look at other potential fixes.
Same here. I’ve been able to log in twice, both times early AM for a few minutes before I leave for work.
I can’t get in during the evening.
Whatever fix they put in did nothing, still sitting over 5K deep with 90 minute wait.
Does anyone know when this is going live? Currently in an 8k queue on Skeram.
New new PVP US EAST server all are full.
People are auto running into walls in inns to avoid getting AFK kicked
You think you fixed it, but you didn’t.
Can you please open server transfers - the day of release i switched to the brand new realm opened and now I’m in a queue of over 7000!! I did what you asked and when to a new realm and now I’m still screwed!
I question the wisdom of this.
sorry lots of typos. new realm incendius that was opened just before launch and “i did what you asked and went* to a new realm” my apologies for bad spelling but I’m a little heated about this since I was one of the ones who understood the issues of being on a high pop realm like Herod and took you all up on the idea of switching realms and then now I’m no where near better
I would rather the servers be laggy and actually PLAY then have myself or others have to sit in a 2-6 hour que just to play. Further increase to server caps are needed!
Something bugged out queues, no movement in past hour. There are reports of people skipping queue.
The efforts are appreciated but falling short of any help at this time.
I have returned for Classic WoW and built a custom PC for my Fiance specifically for this. This is her first experience playing Wow. Obviously the recent hotfixes are not enough to correct the extremely long queue times. As two dental health care professionals we are literally left bringing a laptop to work and remote logging into our PCs at home in order to start the queue mid day at work between patients… this is ridiculous. Furthermore getting disconnected and losing the position in queue. Tonight we logged back in remotely for the second time around 5:25PM to find a “90 minute queue” it is now 8:30PM. The rate timer calculations and position in queue still being 1,355 we won’t be able to get on at all tonight.
We are playing with 15 friends from around the world some who have already leveled to 19. The only fix at this point is a financial refund of game time for 1 month and free character transfer for our entire guild.
Please don’t just fix this, make it right.
Sincerely,
A frustrated 15 year patron
Most of us have also already dedicated over a full day of game play to a certain realm too so starting over on a new realm would just be terrible and something no one would want to do - I mean I remember distinctly in 2004-2006 blizzard opened free server transfers for overpopulated realms please see the wisdom in this
