Another night unable to play due to God awfully long queue times

[Dj_james1986]

Agree, I’ve spent more time in queue since the release than I have playing the game due to both the long queue and the lobby server errors, tonight is another prime example of that, where I had been in Que (3600) for about 2 hours and having received a lobby server error have been booted to the back of a queue now over (5800) long which means I doubt I will get to okay tonight AT All despite having sat in a Que for so far 3 hours and still have over 4400 in front of me despite starting initial at 3600. There was plenty of opportunity to sort this before now as the red flags have been there and there have even been announcements about said flags on occasion. And yet here we are at expansion where they have done nothing to resolve the queue/server/lobby capacities and then wondering why there are so many issues, and throwing a meagre 7 days free play at us (with a caveat it could be increased) but the problem is 7 days free subscription to begin with is not adequate compensation to account for the week of missed play due to cues on top of the paid for game and early access not received and the subscription and then the time I’ve wasted waiting to play the game (which can’t be replaced, so the inability to deal with the issues proactively is costing me time I will never get back) whilst I can’t even do something else while I’m in such a tragically long queue for fear or a server error that boots me to the back of the queue, which has happened anyway…. Frustrated does not adequately explain what I feel to be honest but it will have to do.

Totally agree. Unlike the juveniles above that find humor in people purchasing a product they are unable to enjoy due to the lack of importance this situation is to SE, they are perfectly fine accepting an inadequate launch and could care less about anyone but themselves. They don't see an issue waiting upwards of 5 hours in queue. People like them are the reason why we consistently see these issues for new games or expansions. There's not enough mature adults stepping up and voicing their opinions about it. When someone does, you get a flood of these white knight SJWs berating you for voicing a concern that would make their experience with the game much better, but would rather pick a fight where there doesn't need to be one.

I don't call some of the rage posts I've seen "mature adult' material.

Some of my postings or just posts in general?

Hmm, same as all the "general" white knighters you post about, I guess.

Yes, Im doing the right thing here and coming to the forums expressing my concerns. The people who stand up for SE or jumping on people for doing the correct thing a consumer should do are white knighting, yes. But you really classified that as rage? Words matter here. No disrespect to you. I could be misinterpreting your comment as a slight to me. If so, I apologize.

[Sekurity]

If you are talking about my postings, I would be interested in finding what exact post you classify as "rage."

this situation is unacceptable. It doesn't matter how much we understand or love this teams product. This needs to be fixed. They need to think out of the box, or shift around available servers from other parts of SE, w/e it is... the answer can't be (whelp our hands are tied until we get those new equipment in).

Yes. The answer to the problems are actually pretty simple. Rent servers, migrate over to the new servers when they arrive

The thing that I don't get with arguments like this is, are you saying a major business that wants to please their playerbase has not already thought of this? Do you honestly think a company that puts large margins into making quality games and game experiences hasn't explored and exhausted any option that they could think of?

Because if you do, I do not think we are talking about the same company.
