No ones complaining about queues, they’re complaining about waiting 5+ hours. I never had a queue that surpassed 45 minutes back in the golden days and servers have exponentially enhanced since 14 years ago.
It’s beginning to seem to me that we all don’t have much faith in Blizzard, and those of us that still have some is finally diminishing.
Oh, whatever, as soon as ya’ll get into the game, you’ll forget about everything and this thread and your “faith in Blizzard” will suddenly be restored.
It’s true, people who decided to take days or weeks off of work to play should have known better. As if playing the game the moment it is released will make it any better than playing a few days later. Heh, and everyone was complaining about layering too. Guess no one’s going to do that anymore!
The randomly added beta test happening the week before launch was a red flag that Blizzard didn’t have their ducks in a row. It was obvious the launch was going to be a disaster but I figured they’d know how to iron it out in a few hours but there doesn’t seem to be any change yet… other than adding new servers which would isolate you from your friends you already agreed to a server with. Sigh.
if you don’t have the patience to go through some queues at the bloated first few weeks then how will you cope with the long level grind and getting 40 people to move in the same direction or waiting for AV to pop?
Yeah, as soon as I go to bed after finding a nice hiding spot in town and keeping my toon on automove.
Imagine buying a car but not driving it off the lot for a couple days or weeks because there isn’t enough people to complete your paperwork or buying groceries and not being able to eat them until the next day. Just imagine buying something and not being able to use it for a couple days. Even worse, imagine being okay with all of that.
Paying for a game but not being able to play it because of player density: this is okay
Finding a loophole to avoid waiting 5+ hours to play said game: this is bad
That’s a real conundrum, I’ll admit. One side I’m getting ****ed as a paying customer, the other a loophole so I can actually play the game but keeping a spot closed that someone else could play while I’m off. What’re your priorities anyways? The livelihood of a multi-billion dollar corporation or the little man?
“It’s your fault for wanting to play a game on launch instead of expecting a super rich corporation to accommodate its mass of customers” is the dumbest ****ing argument I’ve ever come across.
7AM: wake up.
8AM: work.
4PM: off work drive through traffic
5PM: get home eat dinner
6PM: play WoW, queued position 13945, wait time 5 hours and bedtime is at 10.
Go to sleep, go back to work, come home and get back into line.
this is rediculous there is no excuse for this crap.if there is a que blizzard is not doing there jobs ALL realms should be able to handle at least 20k online at a time…Private servers were handling 12k loads no reason blizzard with there money and hardware cant handle double even triple that amount.
