Play something else while you wait for queues?

[Machoman]

Call your friend, read a book, read a comic book, draw a picture, tidy ur room, clean the house, watch a TV show you could even watch a anime. Hey you go I have given you loads of options for you to do as you wait in the queue or even play a game on ur PC.

Just don't be gone long, or you will be kicked from the que with 2002

I'd be more than happy to do something else while I wait in queue. Problem is I have to sit at my PC and babysit the queue because of errors. I go for an hour walk after work. Every day this week I logged in to sit in queue while on a walk. Every day I came back to a 2002 error. I would be happy to go play the Switch while I wait in queue, again, have to babysit the queue.

Well thankfully the Switch is mobile and you can have it with you while you watch the queue, isn't that amazing?

The suggestions to do other things while in queue are just ignorant. You’re never getting logged in like that unless you just luck out and dodge all the 2002s.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

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...because its exactly what Ive been doing the past 8 days.
And I can tell you, I get into the game, AND I did something positive and useful with my time instead of getting mad while staring at the Login Que.

I will admit yes, you should keep checking in case the error happens. But literally, just log back in, and your right back where you were in the que.
Or at least thats my experience.

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.

I'm working on my PhD while waiting in queue, I'll probably get it before I'm level 90, so this situation isn't all bad.

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.
