How long will this login que problem last?

Max like a month, queues are already tanking.

Not sure yesterday just past 12pm pst had a queue of 10186. My guess there going to be high for few more months or when WoW brings out a new expansion and draws all the WoW players that left back. I read even the jp servers is having the same problems.

I'm not sure how it's on Light but here on Chaos we've had several queues long before EW even released. As soon as all the wow players came flocking to us. God I wish Blizzard and WoW was still doing great, then we had less of an issue now.

We have issue long ago, Most of our world have been “congested” since 2019. WoW probably is the last straw why we have to queue even back in July/August

Odin has queues around 3-4k on 4pm ish german time. Feels like 3-4 hours to get in.
Well Endwalker launch, people coming over from various games including WoW. Server material prices, corona. A lot of things come together with this.

A few more weeks and it'll normalize, hopefully. Square is doing what they can for sure.

Nope i didnt read any of the answers... ^^"

Soon as we all stop trying to get on all the time, every day.

This is new content and people are excited. Happens every xpac. No big.

Im already noticing a drop in queue lengths. Sure from 5h (day 1), to 3.5h the past few days slowly going to 2.5h, so effectively still a problem. But if it keeps going at this speed, then soon we will have decent enough queues to wait for.

Sure, i do have the advantage that i can queue much earlier than i can game, which negates the problem for me. But it also made me able to track the state of the queue (on the server i play it generaly goes down about 1000 per hour, and i generaly can get ingame near 6-7pm local time).

It will get worse now with christmas holidays coming and a lot of people wanting to play the game.

-Their won't be any improval of the server structure any time soon as they mentioned them self ( chip shortage etc.)

-People have no great alternatives right now aswell. New World is the biggest dissapointment of the year , WoW is i na content draught phase with no major patch sooner than january.

-Square Enix does jack shit against cheaters / 3-Party program users -> Without the ant iafk tools you would atleast see the queue actually moving instead of sitting their for 4 hours and hoping you dont get error 2002.

So you have 3 options:

Don't play and wait for 2-3 months until enough people that got either fed up with it + all the people that just play for a month quit

Take vacation and play during your servers low activity time frame (ergo in the middle of night)

Try to get a refund for the Game and don't play it all ^^

The time estimate is probably right but queues are definitely not tanking everywhere lol
Im still hitting like 5800+ queues in the afternoon, and they've been pretty consistently that long or more since Friday.

The massive long queues will eventually sort themselves out, atm everyone's been hyped up to play the MSQ primarily, as time rolls on the more lore driven only players will move onto other things and people will gradually spread out over time till the queues evaporate and return to more normal levels. There's also a new oceanic data center launching in a few months as well as SE eventually getting their hands on new servers to build more data centers so things will eventually level out. Unfortunately this will not abate for months so people will need to have patience but the main thing is as time rolls on the bigger queues will gradually dissapear.

If they could
JUST.
FIX.
THE disconnect while in queue problem.

I wouldn't mind so much to log in, see I'm at 2500, and then go about my business, and I'd get in an an hour and a half, two hours.

BUT TO HAVE TO BABYSIT THE QUEUE.. That's becoming intolerable.
The other night I watched a few Arcane episodes in a split window, then every 20 minutes or so, WHOOPS! Got disconnected.. better queue back up within two minutes or lose my place.

Last night I had a very short fuse in-game, and when I ran into a particularly frustrating solo duty (one of those 'play someone else' ones), I just said "screw this" after the second attempt.
I'm not usually like that but I think I was unconsciously thinking, "I didn't stare at a screen for two hours to get blocked by something like this". I had a headache by that point and just logged off.

Eventually I figure if even I think like this, and I'm an aredent YoshiP/SE fan and supporter, where the thought of babysitting the queue means "I think I'll take the night off", I'm sure lots of others are already there, and the queues may shrink for the time being due to sheer frustration.
