I had a similar issue, as I did both as well. I did what was suggested above and that is to login when the queues don't exist for your region. I queued at 1030 PM PST last night and got in roughly around 11:45 PST. From 12:00 AM to 3:00 AM PST there was little to no queue.

I tried at multiple times after midnight but had no luck, last try was at 2am.
