I don’t mind waiting in queue. I know what i signed up for when I made my character on a high population server. I don’t want a refund or free transfers when the game has only been out for two days.
However, what I don’t enjoy is hearing reports on the forums (and also from irl friends) who just got off work and were able to instantly login and skip the queue time while I have been waiting since 3pm central. It’s currently 7:45pm and I’m sitting at 2378.
I signed into queue on Whitemane at 3:30pm EST, been 5 hours. I have been around 300 for over an HOUR alone. Something is broken on the queue. People are definitely getting in ahead of others.
Yeah man, Blizzard is secretly handpicking certain privileged individuals (which happen to be your friends no less) and letting them skip the line! I mean, even Asmongold is getting locked out of his server by the queues but your friends, they must be oil princes of something.
The level of tin foil hattery is out of the chart right now.
Yeah I was just noticing I have been sitting at 170 in queue for a LONG time. Been in this queue for about 6 hours now. Queue was moving steadily until I hit 200 and since then it has been hardly moving. Estimated time still says 3 min… how I wish that was true
I think it may have happened to me yesterday. Logged on and was in a queue of at least a few hundred. Suddenly I was in. Possible the whole queue suddenly got in but seems doubtful
A hotfix was implemented and intended to make log ins smoother. So some of us will get in instantly, others will still have to endure the queue still. I’m in the “In Queue” Cam, but it is moving very smoothly. 17 minutes as of this post.
Two of my friends also got in instantly. I had been in the queue for a few hours. I tried leaving queue (I probably wasn’t going to be able to play at that rate anyways so why not). I waited 5 minutes, tried again and went to the back of the line (from 3300 to 7400). This was on the Skeram server. Is it possible something to do with the layer that I was in at launch? I was able to play as soon as the server went live and haven’t been able to get in since.
