Play something else while you wait for queues?

[OzumaKuma]

Yeah I'm playing on Playstation, so that is out of the question.

So what your really saying Mr or Ms positivity is I should use my gaming platform for something more worthy of my time? .

Your just admitting then that this launch is a failure. In that case maybe you could outline how I can my money back to spend on another game instead.

I mean not really unless you literally only play games on your playstation.

I played TFT on my phone while sitting in queues (I also play on Playstation.)

The Launch is not a Failure......Plenty of people have been able to play the game and have even beaten the MSQ already and LOVE the Story.
Some people have to sit through a long wait line but eventually get to play (such as myself)
And then there are some who unfortunately cant play till things wind down abit more towards the end of the month, but will get to play.
Not a Failure in the Slightest. Botched, scuffed maybe...but not a Failure.

Heres an idea though....while you wait your turn in line, go do something. Clean, make a snack/cook, take care of homework or housework. You have a computer or smartphone on the side? Watch some youtube and stuff.
There is lots you can do on the side while you can wait for the que.

Probably a bit of a case of mixed community messaging. People say "Go play something else" because usually that is an option for Playstation and PC players (either via tabbing out for PC players or picking up something else like a laptop or switch for playstation players). Obviously in your case that wouldn't apply, but people dont have a good grasp of everyone's individual circumstances and sort of just respond as if someone were in their own circumstances.

As to whether the launch was a failure or not- I think it was messy and I think Square do as well given the response. I dont have any advice on refunds since I know nothing about the refund policies of square but I hope either the queues get quicker for you or you get your money back

You can go outside and play some ball.

all these things you are suggesting are a given for any adult, you think anyone doesn't do those things anyway? I have my shit together and my house in order.

Also you do know it's take anywhere between 4-8 hours to even get into this game right?

Lol chill out Bro.
They were time-wasting suggestions of things you can do instead of staring at the screen and watching the Que slowly go down.
Something more healthy, and a better use of your time.

And no I dont. The Biggest Que Ife had was 4,567, and it took only 'about' an hour. to get in.
Now as things are calming down, Ive been getting a max of 2,127, and a minimum of 1 thousand. And now it takes between 10-20 minutes to get in.
Maybe its just our datacenters

its not 1h not in twintania, it actually takes 2h+ for 4-5k also u cant blame the guy for being upset people barely have 1h to themselves let alone wait 2h in queue and actually need to watch said screen cause there are high chance he will get kicked from queue cause of their server .

true the lunch isn't as bad as people claim cause the servers are alive and in game its all smooth play but if 10000 people get to play while the 100000 cant and stuck in login queue ultimate that need to babysit cause the servers will enter enrage and kill their queue times ,it fair that they demand their money cause they cant get what they paid for which is to play and asking them to wait and justify it is just trying to be white knighting out of spite.

but it is true that its not worth to get mad at the lunch and simply talk to customer support for refunds if you are that mad OP but the lunch itself is much better going then what was expected to happened which is the servers to burn and no players would be able to play at all.

Just reque. Not sure if & how its different for everyone else, but I reque, and Im back in line exactly when the error hit.
I really am trying to understand this part. Ive gotten into it with a few people, and I just get attacked instead of any possible intelligent answer.

I have had the exact opposite experience, to be fair. I've never gotten back in where I was.

It's a timing thing with the client, if I remember right, and I think you've just managed to get the timing right. I don't really know the technical details of it, I just know you have a chance of getting back into your old spot in line if you log back in within a certain timeframe.
