RE: Yoshi on Queues and Server Transfers

Just wondering what queues and issues people are seeing on
Preferred Worlds
　○ Coeurl
　○ Goblin
　○ Mateus
　○ Zalera

I have a buddy not on Gilg or Bal who still has like 30+ minute queues and I'm curious if anyone on these servers can let me know how things have been. Also I'm wondering if I'm missing something on this whole incentive program. I thought there was mention of gil/xp bonus for transfers but it looks like just for new characters? So is it just 10 silver feathers and the ability to take your gil with you? Seems like a lot of risk (not knowing how the market board will be/availability of playerbase to do stuff with) for 10 feathers especially since from what I've heard the dc's/locked at cold steel etc affected all the NA servers? Just wondering what people have seen! Thanks!

Those are on all the same data center, so the queues will be identical, as Duty Finder matches across worlds on the same data center.

Oh i mean the log in queues mostly. Though same data center makes me presume the disconnects/gating behind duty quests that have been sketch wouldn't be better/worse on these servers?

Ah cool you're on one of them! How is it finding others to do stuff with? Availability of active FC's/hunts/world stuff as well as is there enough people for the market board to be reasonably decent (supply/demand)?

On Zalera myself with an alt toon, and I say it's definitely a lot more empty then Balmung and Gilga. But it's active enough. I had a log in queue of 1 (Not even joking) logging in today. It's a welcome break from the insanity in balmung atm :o

Any idea what the queue is like this time? Sitting in 1500+ for like 30 minutes so far on Gilg bleh. On the upside fishing is up to 67 since I haven't wanted to risk dcing and getting back in line if i enter a dungeon...

I had a queue of 0 on mateus the last 2 days.

Coeurl reporting in. Have yet to spend more than five minutes in the log-in queue. As far as I can tell that's the only thing that's better over here. I was still locked out of playing any instanced content (even dungeons), so that's pretty consistent for everyone.

Feel like there's enough pop to easily do things you want to in game? Able to find/sell things on market etc? I really enjoy gathering and crafting and its making me hesitate on moving from high pop to low pop when thinking about being able to buy and sell stuff.

I started on Balmung in 2.0. Played through 3.0 before switching to Mateus and deciding that was too small. Mateus didn't even have enough people on it to support a market board economy or populate hunt Linkshells. Coeurl's been much better. Multiple hunt LSes working together, a decent number of FCs actively recruiting, can sell and buy on the market board. It's an actual, real, functioning sever, just without the incredible bloat of high-pop servers. I think the economy moves a bit slower; high-end crafted gear takes longer to sell, but does sell.

At least that's my experience. I'm sure someone will defend Mateus or say they regret transferring to Coeurl. But for me, Coeurl's been very popular, and I took advantage of the free transfers to bring the last of my gil over from Balmung.

Cool thanks for the info!

I started a new character on Omega because of the problems with logging on to Leviathan. I still had login queues in the early hours EU time (I'm a UK player)! This was on Friday so we'll before Omega got full. I'd hate to think what Balmung or Gilgamesh are like.

Lets just say there has been ample time for reviewing forums, cleaning the house, rearranging my desk... you get the idea lol.

Even when we get a huge group kicked off, the largest I've seen is like 456 queue on Zalera . not saying it doesn't get higher, but for the most part it's instant, or a few minute wait at best.

Log in queues for Coeurl haven't been bad for myself. The longest one I saw was maybe 500-something people? It only took like five minutes or so to get in.

I started playing during 1.0 & have been on Balmung since the rebirth, after trying multiple times Saturday during the day to utilize the free transfer to Omega & not being able to due to it being a full server, I decided to transfer to Mateus.

I've had a no login issues in regards to waiting for a queue & the server population is small but active, it seems to be a perfect choice if players start to transfer in large amounts as I think it could possibly accept quite a lot of players & still have minimal issues in regards to the queue.

Queue of 20 on Malboro. Pretty chill.

I'm on Goblin. I get in in about 30 secs no matter what time I log on --

I've been on Balmung (and it's equivalent) since V1. I'm getting more and more tempted to get off of it, but I've got friends, an FC, a house.. all that jazz..

I went in with no queue on Zalera. Pretty smooth.

Ive been playing an alt on Mateus to avoid the Greg queues. I have had, maximum, a queue of 1. And also today, I have gotten into every story solo instance I have done there, and never been 90k'ed. It has been nice and smooth, and if you do get kicked out for some reason, the queue, again, is not a thing there. So I recommend it to anyone wanting a little aside from the nonsense on Greg/Balmung. I say this because as of right now, I have been in the Greg queue for 70 minutes. I made and ate dinner, among other things, and still waiting to get in. I hate it but I want to get things done on the main now that maybe I can. :/

Balmung here, it has been situational depending on the time. At about 9 AM Central Standard time for the past two days I have gotten in with 0 and 2 in qeue respectively. Logging in again around 6PM CST on both days has resulted in a Qeue of 3700 and 4000 with a wait of roughly 1 hour last night and almost 2 1/2 tonight. It should be noted that the number of logins per refresh has slowed significantly. However, it is likely due to this slower progression that the Cold Steel instance was possible to clear as of this morning so I am not going to rave on it. This is clear evidence that work IS being done.

Oh, you meant the log in queue. My bad. I thought you meant instances.

Yeah, Zalera is a quick log in. It's low population.

Keep in mind, word going around is Mateus is the place to transfer to, I've heard. Might still not compare with others, but there's been an increase, surely.

As for my experience, when the servers first opened, my queue was something like 120. Had a queue of 1 yesterday, and no queue at all today.

Duty queues are another matter, of course. No real help for that on a server basis.
