Paying $15 to sit in a queue for 347 minutes?

THis is from the wow classic launch page:

The floodgates are now open, and WoW® Classic is live! Whether your battle cry is “For the Horde!” or “For the Alliance!”, there’s no shortage of adventure awaiting you in the vast continents of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.

Hilarious marketing. No shortage of adventure just a shortage of server capacity. Because we think we want this, but we really don’t mentality rules blizzard. They are trash talking there own game now in the blue post saying they expect most people will quit. That’s a self fulfilling prophecy now.

When you are informed what will happen and it does and people tell you this, that is a strawman argument? Do you blame others when you are a daft fool? No one else caused that, take responsibility and stop crutching.

Yes, I’m the daft fool for expecting a multi billion dollar MMO juggernaut to give us what they promised. Not all of us live on the forums none of the ads I’ve been served mention 4-8 hour queues and in fact the wow launcher ad and the wow classic home page say you can play it now. Blizzard is 100% at fault no matter how much you try to insult and cyber bully me for wanting what we paid for and were promised.

yes, 50 cents a day to spend your time in queue.

You can always log off.

Meh. While I’m annoyed at the queues you can’t really look at it that way.

With a 6 month sub you’re paying less than 50 cents a day.

If that stresses you… shouldn’t have a sub, probably.

in a que for 60 mins myself, but I am not going to have a tantrum over it

I just don’t understand all the apologists.
Not trolling at all, I literally do not understand how you are OK with 6 hour ques that are completely unnecessary,
Think about it critically for a minute. With sharding there is no reason for me to wait 6 hours to get to my characters i already have 12 hours invested in. How can that not make you frustrated and disappointed in the company?

They could careless. The sad part is this game doesnt have nearly as much people playing as like fortnite yet their servers never seem to have issues.

That’s what happens when you play on a full server. Either deal with it or go to one of the newer servers they released.

That’s because the president of Epic isn’t telling his customers they only think they want to play his games. They don’t set themselves up to fail and then blame the customers.

What really sucks is that number is probably underestimating your queue time dramatically. I did a manual calculation for my queue and it was around 9-10 hours. Blizzards UI showed me about 146min.

Maybe Blizzard should do a server kick every 2 hours to give others a chance to play rofl.

I mean, I did it in 2004 when $15 was worth more…

What the OP is really saying is “I want to stay on this overpopulated server with high wait times. I don’t want to move servers. I just want the queue to go away.” And EVERY person on that server is saying the same thing.

I’ll just log into Pagle and play.

There are a whole bunch of technical reasons why Fortnite doesn’t have server issues like WoW (or many other games) do. It’s certainly not because of Epic’s competence, it’s just the nature of the game.

uhhh yeah hey we have 5 new servers… still doesnt change the fact that i cant get in and play with my friends on their server also doesnt change the fact that poeple are useing some sort of auto clicker thing that auto jumps when they dont want to play anymore so they dont get kicked out of the server for being afk so others cant join…

That’s like saying “well you chose to buy an airline ticket for a flight at 4 PM, that’s peak, you should have bought a ticket for the red-eye” – look man I was able to create a character on the server, if it was going to be an unworkable population they should have routed me to a different #$@%^ing server before I spent fifteen hours leveling my %%&$% character.

I’m glad I didn’t take any PTO for this week, then I would be pretty fuking salty…
