This is going to be a doozy. I expect Savage Raids to be a bit hard on people considering the fact we're having to fight the queues. Thankfully, it only takes around an hour and a half or so for us over on Primal, but I'm not sure about how things will be around 10 PM or so.
I like this idea that everyone is in the queue and no one is playing the game.
The reason the queue exists in the first place is because the servers are at their population limit. That's a LOT of people to keep entertained.
Delaying it will only have the people who have been playing losing interest. Not delaying it may make some people miss out because they can't get into the game.
Either option is going to lose people, and delaying content is going to affect much more than player retention.
Delay by how much?
It will take them months to install the servers needed, for a 2 week rush, and then it all goes back to normal.
I had no queues getting in today, where it was 3k at this time last week.
And for every 3k in the queue that are 10k in already and playing.
There will be a surge again tomorrow for sure, and again Jan 4th, but by mid-late Jan it'll all be back to normal, no queues besides the usual 30-50 people that takes 30 seconds, and this will all be forgotten until 7.0
Well, I'll be one less person trying to log on this week. I'll wait till things die down for a few days. Gives me time to play some Halo Infinite anyways.
There sure will be some spike tomorrow (but not huge), as everyone will rush to finish the quests and close weeklies, but will come back to normal by Wednesday.
Also i'm almost sure nothing will change with savage drop, as casuals won't be interested, and those who intend to delve into are already playing every day
