Postpone Patch 6.05 - The Hardest Thing to Say

[Saefinn]

Honestly? I think it's fair. Not that I think it will 'solve' the issue or anything like that, but it gives a little time for congestion to die down for more people to catch up who have struggled.

Totally agreed, I know many who start with EA on day 1, and still not finished MSQ.

I mean, I'm one of those people, but I also went on a 4 day vacation out of town, otherwise I'd have completed it already. lol I'm almost there though! But I've also been obsessively persistent when it comes to logging in, even during peak hours, dealing with the 2002s as they came along the way.

I would say no, as the queues have actually been lower than they were before. Maybe not as much as we'd like, but the queue has been getting smaller. No need to postpone the raids when the people who want to do them are going to continue playing, and those who refuse to touch Normal Raids or Alliance Raids will have already stopped playing until the next story patch.

[RitsukoSonoda]

So delay content for everyone because some of the player base with raid statics are afraid they will fall behind other people in game for raid duty progress?

[Tsumdere]

Savage does not come out until next month afterthe holidays. There isn't going to be a massive surge in players come raid tier either, as those players are already playing. We're only going to see people drop off.

I do not see the point of delaying if in all likeliness, the queues will not be an issue come January.

I'd imagine we'll still have queues for the foreseeable future, but nothing like we've been seeing recently. If I were to guess....similar to pre-Endwalker levels of madness, which really wasn't too bad all around. Maybe slightly more than that, but nothing that will cause the issues we're having now.

Of course. I imagine that queues might reach up to an hour on high population data centers, but not several hours during prime time as it is now. Will it be annoying to the statics who have members who come straight from work to home to raid? Probably. But it's manageable.

Raiders have had their ultimate delayed and have been sitting on the same raid tier for a full year now. Delaying content for everyone because some people might have time conflicts is not the way to go.

I’m currently not even able to log in when most of my raid team do. I have only been able to play early early mornings and the most of them are logged in before the que times get too insane. By the time I’m off work I’m in a multi hour queue.

[Hasrat]

Why? Is raiding a limited time event that you can't complete if you have to postpone activities?

[Triggers]

I'm new here, but I'm told that the casual bloat of story-only players should subside by the time savage drops. Any thoughts on that?
