Login Suggestions?
I am not even sure if this is where I should be able to post it but this is a thought I had as my game crashed tonight.
I understand there has been some serious issues with log in queues on some servers because of the sheer number of people trying to get in and play. And I am really excited for y'all and what not having that many people enjoying the game you put so much work into (and it shows) but I think some special considerations should be made for those where were in an active duty when logged out for whatever reason to get them back in faster.
Case in point, I had spent about 2 hours trying to get a into one of the the new Extremes, and finally one of my FC told me about party finder which I hadn't used before. I swap over find a group and when we were loading into the instance I crashed out of the game. When I started to log back in there was a 2500 person q in front of me which is if I am lucky 2 hours of waiting.... even if the party was willing to wait for me to return (Which I am pretty sure they aren't) they just wasted that instance and I am pretty sure had to go back to looking unless they got lucky and someone queued in rather than going through PF.
I know that the system has some idea where you are when you are logged out, and it shouldn't be too hard when you log in to see if you had been booted from that instance, (Since it does that after letting you through the q anyways...) so why can't you give priority to those still in an active instance to get back to their party quicker?
Is that an option we can have going forward?
