Can someone please explain why I paid for priority access?  I refuse to believe that "F2P" players are dealing with a queue significantly worse than this.
 
This is night #2 that I am home from work and unable to play a game that I am subscribed to.  Oh and btw, that means I don't get to click on my "daily login" box and will go back to square one tomorrow.  You incentivize daily logins and then make it so that is an impossibility?  Great.
 
I'm waiting for the communications on how you are going to "fix" your poor release.  I can't imagine how that is not already out there unless you are just expecting more issues and don't want to jump the gun. I can't say, however, that I would be too surprised if there was no conversation about this inevitability.

			So uh... So happy to see the game is no longer dead, but uh.... I am at 4k position... 	
----
			
 
Welp, see ya tomorrow when I get out of queue!  :lol: (P.S. Not mad, just having a giggle.)

Trust me, we do get priority, I remember seeing some guy at like 4k or 6k or something while we sit at around 2k.  Be grateful, at least you are ahead of me.  Hopefully this is a non-issue in a couple days or so.
 
 
edit -  wth did I mean by "pick"....fixed

I still dont understand how queues work honestly. The game isnt a rollercoaster ride with a line of people waiting. Most people play for hours so how does the queue go lower so fast. Someone once told me its just fictional and an illusion, just a way to justify making more money. 
 
Because its really hard to believe that when 1507 people log off you will get a chance to play.
----
			
Yeah the queue is worse today than yesterday at around this time.
I think it's a lot of EU players that rather deal with the latency, than the lag they are suffering.
Since the NA servers just got a supposed fix. I'm not in game so I can't confirm if it did fix the lag
on the NA servers.

			TLDR NCsoft massively underestimated the demand for this game as a f2p.They needed to have more servers up for launch, but I'm sure some will trickle in because I think the message is coming in loud and clear.

Well, I wanted to come back and try Wildstar again. 3 hour queue for 2 nights in a row? Sorry, Carbine- I don't have that kind of time to wait around to play a game.  :blink:
 
No, I'm not new to MMOs. Another server to accommodate load would be a great idea. Just sayin'  :(
 
Oh well, I has a disappoint.

Wow. 4 Hours and 14 minutes.
 
I just don't even know what to think about that. Nothing good, I assure you.
 
Completely unsatisfactory.	
----
			It's insane just how many people seem to be unaware of launch issues, that also includes a transition to F2P launch.

There is no need for more servers. They use a megaserver styled server system.

			I was gonna resub to get priority but I may wait until the weekend or next week.  Dang.

What the hell is up with this 3,000 member queue?
 
I'M A SUBSCRIBER. I'VE PAID FOR THIS GAME SINCE LAUNCH. DX

But you have the time to pointlessly complain on the forums about it, you sure do!! 
 
(Also, when it says 3 hour queue.....if you look VERY closely...it says 'estimated' before that phrase! I know crazy right? Usually for people who have the time (not being you of course) it does not actually take 3 hours to get into the game!)
 
Cheers!  :)

I don't see much difference between that and the 3hrs I'm getting as a Signature player. Not like I'm going to sit around with my thumb up my rear waiting for either.

			Carbine people is having serious problems with their neuron sinapsis... they can't do math properly.

Here I'm getting over 4k in queue and over 13 hour queue time.  Holy frijoles!
 
It's going down quickly, but not sure how fast will be fast enough to actually play this evening  :P
 
I've played only a little since the F2P launch due to lag and queue times, but I can tell Carbine cares and have yet to play a major MMO at release or F2P release that didn't have similar issues.  No hate from me.  Looking forward to playing more soon.

They could add more servers inside the megaserver. Honestly, they're losing money by now doing this.
 
Welp, at least the lag is gone. Glad I have premium subscription to avoid the queues.

			this is why you release more servers. wow... i dont even... just wow...

Again the general public is the ones who really keeps the lights on, and while some of you Wildstar Preachers think that this should be ok, other people are allowed to feel that having to wait this long is unacceptable. Just like they have to tolerate all of your "It's A LAUNCH, THIS IS OK, GUYS IT IS F2P, GUYS IT IS DAY 2" blah blah. 
 
Don't feel that because other companies have had poor launches as well that this is the "norm".
 
I have gone through a lot of launches, some bad, some good, some smooth, some horrible... It all depends on the company and what limitations or accommodations they are prepared for.
 
If you don't like people complaining about it, don't come to a thread and think you are going to hear anything but... dun dun dun COMPLAINING.
 
Go start a "Wildstar is the Best, and we are ok with 3-8 Hour Queue times because it is a F2P RELAUNCH". Then all of you can hooray and support each other.
 
I really don't care either way because it is just a game. In fairness though, everyone is 100% allowed to have their opinion, and if you don't like it and decide to chime in then prepare for the "other side".
 
See you in game!

Hey noobs, if you paid for Subscriber you skip the queue.
 
Just click "Change Realm" and try again, it's bugged.

			Well, to be fair, it is about 9 hours longer, so there is that. I mean, unless you don't think 9 hours is a big deal...	
----
			
Mine is 11 hours 9 minutes LOL and yes I am a paying subscriber, oops 11 hours 17 minutes now, guess they wanted to kick me in the nuts for good measure!
 
So basically they take the server down for like 3 hours+ then they bring it back up, but obviously it wasn't "fixed" because there are 11 hour queues?
 
I get the fact that more people are trying to play right now than will be paying customers in a month or 2 but how many people are just going to say "screw it" and leave never to return?
 
As I am writing this my queue has decreased drastically ( 4 hours 5 mins) Either people are dropping out of queue or because I am paying for the game I am moving up quickly.
 
Honestly though, I would rather have long queue times if it means smooth gameplay, I guess I will know in 4 hours 47 minutes!! WTF its going the wrong way now lol
 
SOB! 5 hours 10 minutes now
 
I will hit this thread again if I actually get in tonight we'll see how long it actually takes.	
----
			Are you not entitled as a subscriber?	
----
			
Position in queue: 4887
Estimated wait time: 7 hours
 
I laughed.  This IS a joke, right?

This is unacceptable.

			I have been sitting in queue for about half and hour, it was at 11 hours at the start. Now it says 2 hours 54 minutes and 3628 position in queue. I am a subscriber.	
----
			
Hey all,
 
Since we had several threads going on queue times, I merged them together to keep everything in one spot.	
----
			I just find it a bad comedy.  In queue and rather than seeing it go down, I'm watching my position in queue get worse, not better as somehow, others are cutting infront of me.  Yes, I'm a signature subscriber so I have no idea whats going on.	
----
			
Didn't read through to see if someone has already stated this or not.
 
The priority queue does not seem to be working with regularity at this time. If you are a subscriber try logging out and back in. You can also try to clear your cache before logging back in.
 
It worked for me. I was sitting at a hour and a half queue. logged out cleared cache and was let right in. My friend that is not a sub logged in right before I tried and got in with no queue.
 
It's random as all get out, good luck.

Well, in 20 minutes, I've dropped from 4+ hours, to 44 minutes.
 
So the queues *moving*.

So disappointed...  Bought a subscription thinking I would only have to wait maybe 10 minutes.
 
It was 5 hours, but after waiting I'm finally down to this.
 	
----
			
 
{| class="blockquote"
Damn right I am. I'm a SUBSCRIBER. What, are SJWs complaining about people who subscribe to things now?
 
I deserve to be ahead of all free to play players in queue. So unless there's 2,435 SUBSCRIBERS ahead of me in line on Entity, which I doubt, I want my priority queue spot.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It does actually work. I think.
----
			Can anyone that's actually in the game report on how bad the lag is? If it's still as bad as yesterday, there's no point in waiting in this queue.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Forget that. You can get to your characters but you'll never load into the game.
----
			
I bought the box at launch and have only paid for the monthly twice following that. My queue trying to join an hour ago was 3k+, so as a test I paid for the monthly subscription to see if my queue speed changed. I logged out and back in, making sure my account transaction history showed my purchase. The queue stayed the same. I'm not certain how accurate those numbers are, but at least for my account my queue has not changed between F2P and Signature. 
 
Just food for thought.  :)	
----
			Well, it did work, somehow though the gerbil spinning for 2 minutes to retrieve my characters leads me believe that the lag issues will still be there.	
----
			
The change realm trick does work. I just got in after trying it 5-6 times.  Took less then 5 minutes to get in.
 
Queue doesn't even work right.	
----
			Actually it didnt work, the gerbil took me back to the queue 	
----
			Hmm... even if there was a trick to get around the queue, no way will I bother going through with that trick because who knows that some dev, admin, or someone will ban you for it.  We not really missing much with all the lag and all.	
----

Best I have done is down to 24 min, now at 37 min and not moving much.
 
PvE is so full there is now a Queue for PvP, short one, but so many new toons you cant load in.
 
 
 
 
*edit*
 
 
One last change realm tap and I am now in Entity.

			Guys seriously share the load... Go to PvP realm. It's really not much worse then PvE.

			Just a thought for the subscribers--I'm an F2P (read "trial player"), checking out the game to consider subscribing. In 24 hours I've spent twice as much in the cash shop than a month sub costs. And that's just from a mildly interested MMO player. There are people a lot more hard core than I am, and a lot richer. I understand your angst, but know that the WS business people aren't crazy trying to do F2P.  Anyway, I've not been able to log in this evening, and am looking at an 8 hour wait. Pretty sure I don't have the position a sub does.  BTW, the person who said keep logging out and back in trying to get in, instead of waiting--I don't recommend that. You keep loosing your place in line.

			So the second I log in, I get disconnected, happened 3 times now.	
----
			I finally got in after changing realms a couple of times. My main character would not load at all, but an alt would. But the lag is still there, plus I got disconnected 4 times trying to just change my LAS.

			I think the queuing system is currently broken. Longest I've waited was 45 minutes or so yesterday. I Haven't had a single queue today, just logging straight into the game and, no, I haven't been doing the change realm trick. I do not have a signature account although I did pre-order the game at full price when it came out, if that makes a difference. A friend of mine also played today and didn't get prompted with a queue either. He also has an F2P account and I'm not sure if he bought the box. I logged in at various times today, including peak hours, no queue.

			So... I'm paying for a Signature Membership to wait an hour to play? Yea... if this isn't fixed there is a ZERO percent chance I keep my signature membership.	
----
			
If I remember correctly, many players experienced this issue when the game first launched. ( back when it was p2p )
 
It seems like the system does not recognize some players as a subscriber, thus - they were placed in the wrong que. 	
----
			Looks like they fixed the issue. I'm getting right in now.
