Queues - the game!

[Josith]

SE, if you're gonna do a daily logout, choose an out-of-hours time so you actually catch the long-term AFK people, instead of forcing people trying to PLAY at 1pm on a sunday afternoon (GMT time, EU server ) to get booted and eat yet another 1-2k queue (20 minutes or so wait). There comes a point where you stop and think "Well hang on, we subscribe to this game, why does it feel like I've joined on a Silver membership on a Free-to-play or something?" -upgrade to premium for faster queues!- etc.

I mean have a care, the servers as a general rule should always have a little more resources to draw upon than whatever the current workload is. This is just pissing everyone off. Everyone being the paying customers supporting your game. Its as if you're just hoping X number of players stop playing rather than cater to them. It reeks of stingy.

1PM is actually a reasonable enough time as during weekdays most long term AFK people would be out at work/school - on weekends there isn't really a dead hour they could use, as it's day off for most people lol

If it's 1pm......take those 20 minutes to get lunch? Shower? go for a walk? play Crash Bandicoot?

It's not the end of the world.

I dunno, 1 -am-? 4am? 6am? An off-peak time, it isn't rocket science.. All it's doing is initiating yet another queue and disturbing 100s of folks actually playing. It's disruptive. You realise (or I'm assuming) this equates to 5am PST - whaddya know, probably a more reasonable time as more people should be logged out and in bed. But it seems they're doing it at the same time across the whole board which is a tad lazy and inconsiderate, and given how the past week or so have been, I don't think there's much to defend. It's clutching at straws for damage control.

This is also on a new world, still open to take more new characters and free transfers, despite the queues at certain times. I hate to see how long it's taking to log back in on say, Gilgamesh. It's not the end of the world but it really isn't unreasonable to tell the dev/technical team you're supporting "This could be much better and certainly shouldn't become the norm." Simple rule of supply the demand.
