Maybe one day I’ll be able to play those sweet sweet melodies. Til then you know the drill, stuck in queues forever waiting.

Dont worry, there isnt anything to do even if you get logged in outside of dungeons or chest runs in elite zones (Only because they cannot be contested by other players).
OPR is 95% ranged players due to lack of balance. Almost every single farming route is occupied by 2-3 players at a time meaning you run your route HOPING it respawns while you happen to be near it. And wars…Ags wouldnt understand the problems with wars even if they tried to get in one.
AGS really said: You want content? Here, f you have fun on maxpop.
What a joke lol
Real talk…
We went from 980K players to what… 12K? maybe 20K on a good night?
If that doesn’t speak of lack of incentive, I don’t know what does.
The fact the rest of us are still hanging around here… either we didn’t get the memo and enjoying the grind life… or we stopped playing months ago, frustrated by lack of incentive, and just trolling the forums.
This game has (had?) a lot of potential. Remains to be seen what can really happen here.
All I know is that a fresh server (with no transfers) would be really enjoyable (for like a month).
I was finally able to brave the queues by logging in early today and spread the musical notes in aeternum.

So your basically hoping it dies down?
Hey guys we asked for mergers. Deal with the queues until the game dies back down because it inevitably will. You cant ask them for a change and then regret it because they will be less likely to listen to us in the future for other matters.
I never ask for merges, merging servers is stupid idea and never work.
Just live servers and give players free and unlimited server transfer.
Problem solved Easy
I never asked for a merger, in fact the game performed so much better with 1000-1200 peak players, we actively asked NOT to be merged but they did it anyway. No one wants to sit in a 1hr+ queue, nor wants to play in a laggy extra buggy environment (which is what happens when the servers are full)
Server merges were needed, but AGS overdid the thing. Probably to teach us a lesson that everything we ask for will be turned in a monkey paw wish episode straight out of the Twilight Zone.
You want merges? HAVE MERGES. NOW WAIT 3 HOURS to play 2 hours of weekly content.
Sounds like there is a lesson to learn here.
Crossing Server, please and thank
I’m not sure how that would work with territory control tied to specific servers.
Why the hell would the devs merge instead of give everyone a transfer ticket?
A transfer ticket would let the players sort themselves out. Sure they could have closed a few, but as many as they did. Complete nonsense before a major dlc release.
Is there no one in the dev team that has the guts to speak up and say “hey this might be an issue down the road, seeing as our plans are to increase playernumbers in the future with our continued development”.
I’d be more happy as a returning player to run around and farm shit without bots and other players on an empty server and move my char with a transfer either free or payed later down the road, specially when the alternative is to sit in queue for hours.
It’s possible that Amazon don’t wanna give money to AGS so they need cut expanses
Its an balancing act…
I want to know when the devs are actually going to try and play their own game so they cant experience the bullshit all their players are dealing with right now. (Yes, Cant, because of the queue).
Queues during all times of the day. No free farming spots. No possibility to push wars.
Cool I guess I can play music or organize my storages. Maybe dungeons for the thousandth time.
So glad AGS ‘devs’ (if you can even call them that) dont play their own game and dont give a shit about the players experience they are ruining.
The merges were needed, though I don’t quite understand why AGS merged it all up tightly, leaving no headroom in case of influx that summer event would bring, and now that Brimstone has been announced - those who have left are returning to test the waters and get GS up, on top of new players being thrown down the drain playing Queue World. Remember, new players are having much longer queue times than returning ones.
It is shame the map has no capacity to sustain more than 2K people, and even that might be a stretch when thinking of resource availability.
We cannot even log in to do some dailies, cooldown crafting and so on now - queue time takes more than doing all the activities I do daily before leaving.
Paid transfers are dumb. Nobody should be choosing between staying on some 100ppl server or spending a half of the game’s value, with no assurance the server they go onto will survive - and it happened for me when the server I transferred to died out within 2 weeks time after the purchase.
AGS has to sit down and get this shit sorted, not just temporarily, but fix the system they created and have it done and dusted long-term.
Sounds like you are smoking something. Waiting in a queue wnen you have a limited amount of time to play is nothing to be happy about. Unless you sit home all day getting high and play when the queue lets you in.
Why not fix the issue in a different way. What about if while you wait for the queue you got to play on another server temporarily?
For NA East people still are willing to wait in queues and transfer to more populated servers because its more competitive, more fun and actually have semi stable markets. A new server with no established companies, market, towns, etc is not fun to do until way later. No incentives to transfer off of popular servers are also a detriment.
