I really do not understand if this game truely has "Mega Servers" now... why is there a Que?
 
Good luck keeping the new players.

I admit I'm hitting a lot of Lag on these missions. Some of the monsters I'm trying to kill are bugging out and disengaging. By the time I can re engage they have healed to full and I have to start over. That may be the specific monster, but either way- this is a real pain!
 
I'm ready for a second PVE server and I'm sure a lot of people are.

the mega servers are pegged out to the max, no amount of restarts will fix it.
lag is unplayable, was killed by a wandering mob...they left me dead before the server could even zone in the mobs avatar
 
so an invisable, untargetable thing killed me.
 
and after it left my dead body spammed attacks after the fact.
 
--- unplayable
 
you can only fit so many kids in a kiddy pool, call me when you have more pools

			Mega server is just a fancy way of saying "We have one server we'll cram all you guys in" :P

side note, got in with early release during party...game ran smooth as silk
not a game issue, server is overload beyond it's capacity

			Unless we suddenly have more players than ESO and XIV the servers are not maxed. Concurrency and server threading / request protocols are the most likely issues at the moment, not capacity.

			Is it more than expected?  They have been advertising it for months.  It finally hits, and they are left with their megaserver pants around their ankles.

			I was watch the live streams where the developers and marketing were doing a Q&A. The questions wa will the servers be able to handle the influx of players. The answer they gave. Oh yes our mega servers are meant to to handle this kind of increase capacity. Boy were they wrong. I mean I know there was to be some issues. But I can't even play. I can move around but when I go to attack. I stand around and don't move while i get beaten up

spawning more instances when the hardware is pegged out is pointless.
 
only so many kids fit in one kiddy pool, adding more water doesn't help.	
----
			Give it two days, and it will sort itself out.

Maybe you should understand the reasoning why they are called mega servers. It is because instead of having many different servers, instead you have one central server designed to handle all the players. It's not some mythical technology that will stop lag. Even GW2, which has the best server tech in MMOs, still runs into issues where there is really heavy use. Or does everyone forget the lag issues during the Karka Queen event, or the lag during the first WvW Tournament?
 
Fact is, Megaservers are a good thing. Once they get it steady and properly handling the load (which may mean increasing the hardware of the servers), things will even out. Already it's getting better. Give it another couple days.  Let's not make SWTOR's mistake of creating 100s of servers which quickly became ghost towns after the initial rush.

A mega server is actually a whole bunch of regular servers networked fyi ;)
 
Edit: I just what read what the poster wrote right above me, they are right on target.

Games like this lease portions server farms, afaik.
 
Probably a separate company managing the hardware.

Your interpretation of "Mega Server" is not technically correct... It's not some huge single box machine... Most "Mega Servers" are several "Hardware Servers" stitched together by the software serving the clients thru a socket layer.
So if one sever gets full another instance with another server opens up creating more space.
 
All that needs to be done is add some more servers for more instances.
 
My guess is that they sold off some of the hardware they had at launch.

Somehow i think Carbine got more of a response than they were expecting.
48hrs should see the majority of these issues solved.
 
Chill... ;)

It's not a Megaserver as we know it, it's just a standard server with a higher population cap. They used the term Megaserver to make the server merges seem like less of a failure and more of a feature which is understandable from a business perspective, although misleading to the consumer.
 
They've already said their tech is nothing like Guild Wars 2 or ESO's version of a Megaserver which handle things a lot more efficiently with higher populations as well as having overflow tech incase it gets crazy.
 
I think it's time Carbine opened up an additional PVE & PVP realm each, the games population has gone up and we'd like to think due to the Free To Play conversion it will stay somewhat higher than before the switch.
