ArcheAge - A Sandbox MMO with Realistic Queue Action - Games

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;46007435][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2ardGxQ.png[/IMG] 5 minutes before this i was at 3,060 in the queue 50 per 5 minutes x 10 = 500 per 50 minutes x 3 = 1,500 per 2:30 x3 = 3,000 per 5:00 so it will be roughly 5 hours to get in game. What the fuck is this shit.[/QUOTE] It slows down as you go. I started in queue at ~3200 and 6 hours later I'm ~700. There's no possible way this is an actual queue of people unless the servers only allow like 1-3k people on at once.

i play on american servers because the queue seems shorter, probably because i live in the UK and the time difference means im playing at a time when not many other people are, not had a queue over an hour yet

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;46008878]At position 79, says estimated queue time is still over an hour... Pretty fishy.[/QUOTE] It's based off of the rate the queue size is decreasing within the past minute or less. Of course that fluctuates quite a bit.

[QUOTE=RawrBullet;46008891]i play on american servers because the queue seems shorter, probably because i live in the UK and the time difference means im playing at a time when not many other people are, not had a queue over an hour yet[/QUOTE] it never says anything more than > 1 hour from what i can tell

[QUOTE=Private Zoglow;46008782]eu servers down?[/QUOTE] Yes, servers are down for maintenance, they're fixing some patron issues. [QUOTE=Ruisu;46007695]Is this just generic quests till 50 and then PvP and farming or is there actually PvE and dungeons in here somewhere? Everything I see is literally just plots and farming, but the skills and class system looks like something I'd like to try, but there's not much point if combat is just a secondary thing.[/QUOTE] There are dungeons at lvl 20-29(Sharpwind Mines, Dewstone), 30-39(Burnt Castle, Cinderstone), 40-50(Howling Abyss, Hellswamp), and heroic versions for lvl 50s with good gear. There's probably more on the eastern continent as well as some more lvl 50 dungeons +world bosses, and of course the Kraken. [t]http://i.imgur.com/27DdJnj.jpg[/t]. After you finish the story quest ~lvl 35 and you get enough gilda stars to get a harpoon clipper, the game really opens up. The game is mainly focused on pvp and naval warfare. When Auroria opens up, there will also be more instances for lvl 50+, as well as more land and the ability for players to create their own castles/factions etc.

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;46008903]it never says anything more than > 1 hour from what i can tell[/QUOTE] yeah but people here have been saying they've left it for 4 hours and still been in there - i haven't had to wait more than an hour at all, and im not a founder

[QUOTE=loopoo;46008342]It's stupid of people to get angry that the launch is going roughly? Just wait it out. They'll either increase server capacity, or the amount of people trying to connect to the most popular servers will fall to the point where the queues are bearable.[/QUOTE] Yes the queue should be just fine in a few weeks or a month, but whe paid for it and many of us work full time so for those who can only play at peak time just CANT before going to bed.

I somehow jumped like 400 spaces in the queue in the last 15 minutes or so. It now, for the first time in about 6.5 hours says less than an hour left (50min). [editline]17th September 2014[/editline] Never mind, it's back to >1 hour.

[QUOTE=dai;46007460]who wants to bet this is like FFXIV:ARR's re-opening, where the game's time-out is easily skipped by auto-running in a corner, and fuckwits everywhere are 'reserving' their spot on a server by staying logged in eternally, to skip the queues that the mindset is causing in the first place [editline]e[/editline] I've gone down to 1985 in exactly 14 minutes. 2.3 hours by that rate[/QUOTE] Sitting in the character select screen doesn't DC at all. Unless servers crash/internet goes out/update blah blah

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;46009082][img]http://i.imgur.com/9ElyqS2.png[/img][/QUOTE] Welp, that's the last time I look at all at the estimated wait time.

Anyone still having issues with getting their patron status? Purchased it on release and still don't have it when trying to queue but i had the buff in game but did not gain labour while offline. What do i even do in this situation?

One of the perks of being an australian is that when I get home after uni for the day theres not even a que on the servers :3 [sp] Thats about it though [/sp]

Sat in queue for 6 hours, went from 4000 people to 1200 people. They should've launched with more servers.

[QUOTE=RawrBullet;46008891]i play on american servers because the queue seems shorter, probably because i live in the UK and the time difference means im playing at a time when not many other people are, not had a queue over an hour yet[/QUOTE] that's great and all but I just spent 8 hours waiting on Kyrios only for the game to give me a server timeout while in queue so that's fun. Wife's client was launched ~4 or 5 hours ago and she's still at position 2109, down from 3500 really waiting on official word about server parking [editline]e[/editline] 25 minutes later and she hasn't moved from spot 2109

i glided over the prison and now it thinks im a prisoner even though im not in it omg

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;46009562]Sat in queue for 6 hours, went from 4000 people to 1200 people.

Imagine trying to sort out peoples land in a server merge.

Also anyone on Kyrios east send Rice an ingame mail so I can add you to friends list when I get on! West people can also send mail to East and vice versa

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;46009931]Once they fix [B]the character select screen never Dc'ing you[/B], and once the hype dies down this week, server queues will be lower (most likely).[/QUOTE] THAT'S the fucking ticket collective queue count of roughly 20 to 24,000 people in NA as of 1am Eastern/10pm Pacific

[QUOTE=Shadaez;46009827]i glided over the prison and now it thinks im a prisoner even though im not in it omg[/QUOTE] stop trying to break people outa jail thug

[QUOTE=dai;46009946]collective queue count of roughly 20 to 24,000 people in NA as of 1am Eastern/10pm Pacific[/QUOTE] I'm willing to bet that half of those people are BRs. My NA server is a Brazilian server during nightime pacific coast time.

Even if it dies down next week I feel that rerelease on Steam will bring the servers to their knees again

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;46010554]Even if it dies down next week I feel that rerelease on Steam will bring the servers to their knees again[/QUOTE] When will that happen anyway?

who were the people to whisper on kyprosa again?

Me, Paddeh, Xavith and Alexojm. I'm online right now if need to whisper me. [editline]18th September 2014[/editline] The devs have also proven again that they hate their EU playerbase by removing everyone's patron. [editline]18th September 2014[/editline] Expect auction house to die down within a couple of hours because nobody can put stuff on it. [editline]18th September 2014[/editline] These forum posts are stacking up. [QUOTE]goodmorning,i disconnected yesterday having 174 labor and expecting to have more than 1k today when i log in and when i loged in i found out that i DONT HAVE PATRON!!!!wtf is going are u joking with us?why am i forced to buy workers potion cause u cant fixed your bugs?130 euros wasnt enough????? i demant compatation for my 1k++++ labor lost imidiatelly and start TO CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN CUSTOMERS!! [/QUOTE]

Gotta say the devs made a bit of a hurr when they decided it would be a great idea to have the 4th trade quest require you to go to a hostile trade port which for nuians, requires you to walk for about 30-40 seconds on the docks before you get to the neutral guards while the other faction enjoys a port that has the guards right on the waters edge. I got it on my first try but my mates have tried 3 times and every single time the port is camped by about 20 people who either glider onto the ship before it gets there or just demolish the guy carrying the pack when he touches the dock.

I love how everyone who has bugs act like they should be treated like a king and demand unreasonable things. Calm down and go outside or something. Every hyped MMO/game to ever come out has had shitty launches.

i demand compensation even though i am playing a free to play game

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;46012149]i know literally nothing about this game, is there a way to play on NA servers? is there a quickstart guide? it looks fun but the op is confusing ;-;[/QUOTE] You'll have to google where the servers are located, it won't tell you in-game, but they're packed with players. Don't bother with a guide, you'll learn everything you need by just playing and reading this thread as it goes on.
