Planning to play on a specific server ahead of time without knowing how long queues will be. In fairness, it sounds like AGS arenât the only ones who didnât learn from their mistakes
Iâm coordinating with a few people and seem to have found a server just fine, all we had to do was coordinate a time and then look at the best server to start on. Bit of a queue but in within about half an hour.
You know they put them all on their own server to stop mass Qs into their server right? After all the backlash last time about streamer servers. Also they gave streamers keys for their viewers. Was probably the best way to filter their large communities into one place and away from the public. Did you have a better idea?
The people who are playing where up and waiting for the servers to go live and refreshing them till they could go in, like I did when the new zone launched.
get that not everyone can but this is the norm for MMO launches.
Not even prime-time yet on US East and all but 1 FSS locked and they want me to wait in a 2K+ queâŚnot. I called this last night in discord, that with so few FSS planned, it is like AGS is only expecting 15k players to try them, gunna be a clusterpuck.
But they arenât⌠They have only added 1 since 2pm Eastern US. And its immedately flooded and then population locked, like 90% (the remaining 10% have 700+ queues).
Idk man. EU seems to stabilize now. Maybe they wanna wait a day.
NA has some now with not too big queues (20m?)
So maybe they still wait. But yea, still inexcusable lol
Fresh Start only meant everyone starts at level 1, an uncorrupted economy, and no territory holds.
Queues were inevitable. You would think after a year theyâd at least have a backup plan. Nope, once again its in the form of more servers to again be merged later. But I mean come on, FSS preachers were acting like this wasnât going to happen. It was destiny.
More than likely it will be queue wars for a week or two, then solidify for the next few weeks, then part 2 of the chaos.
This is what Discord is for. We did it with 20+ and worked wonders. If you think that rushing onto the first opened server will let you play with friends login in several hours later, maybe itâs you that is not seeing the forrest through the trees.
It seems to me that a simple solution to this would be to have the worlds listed a week ahead of time so that people can create their characters. A âSign upâ window basically.
I mean, itâs evening here and currently there is only one server with a queue of 1600, three around 150 and thatâs basically it. Servers are busy. Loads of new players. Only 24 hours gone. 94k online.
