Is there any indication that things are getting better?

I was not able to play the game for a week now due to the super long queues. Is there any indication that things are getting better or should I just unsub of this unplayable game?

Your best bet is to get on early and never log off. For me between 7-11am EST it's pretty quick to get on. No crash or lag once you're on.

As you said the only time I played was last weekend in the morning. The rest of the week the game was unplayable. I am surprised that SE has the game in such a bad shape. This is not the way to simply enjoy a gaming experience far from it.

Queues have been long all week and I'd only expect them to get longer as we go into the weekend. If you can't get on during off peak times, it may well be worth pausing your sub for a time.

The most likely thing to happen that would improve things would be if less people played. Simply put, unless they can get the server hardware they need, which is unlikely due to the chip shortage, there are no practical solution that SE can implement. Even the 2002's can be traced back to the lack of server hardware.

This could make the shortage worse if they use Intel servers. Upgrade plan will be longer.

Not sure if I was lucky or if things are getting better but I got into 4k queue line and I didn't get a 2002.

I had a 3k queue....took 20 minutes.
I think thats progress?

[Dogempire]

I don't think things will get better till the queues die down, and that won't be happening for at least a week or two

Honestly every time the expansion drops I realize that I've been taking the entire "You get to log in without any issues or long waits" thing for granted

Probably. On low pop worlds the queues have lightened significantly. If that's a trend to be followed, I'd expect the queues to similarly lighten across the board in due time.
