ArcheAge - A Sandbox MMO with Realistic Queue Action

[Chickens!]

Cryengine was a terrible choice they dont even utilize it to any decent extent.

[Psygo]

these queues better die down real fast or everyone is leaving.

No more AFKing at character select being implemented

After 2 hours of being queue'd already.... i'm so glad I have patron.

[Chickens!]

I dunno if i'm special but the last three times i joined my server I was number 1 in queue.

"oh no a queue, oh i'm number 1, what?"

[QUOTE=Demoness;46016035]It's not the best looking game but I'd say it looks alright for a free to play title.

Cities and foliage look the best by far, large open areas can be a bit less pretty.

Congrats you found the one area in the entire game that looks remotely acceptable in this day and age haha.

[DrasarSalman]

The temple thing in that area is also quite pretty.

[Archival]

So after being killed repeatedly by eastern players abusing the whole "you cant attack us but we can attack you" rule that covers their quest trade port im feeling pretty xenophobic right now.

[QUOTE=dai;46015512][QUOTE=dai;46014995]reminds me, I should queue up now.

Time, 2:15pm.

Now taking bets on duration[/QUOTE]

Time, 3:15pm.

down 477 people in precisely one hour. Only 5 hours 3 minutes and 36 seconds to go[/QUOTE]

got delayed when writing this, but

[img]http://i.imgur.com/e8NAs0H.png[/img]

time 6:15pm. 4 hours elapsed, 1277 positions gained, coming down to a total average of 319.25 people per hour. At the current rate, miraculously, it will be 5 hours 3 minutes, and 8.64 seconds to go. The past three hours have netted me a 27.36 second advance.

the moment they implement the AFK kick update, half the queues will vanish and if any queues actually reach 2k+ they may cycle through within an hour.

I'm moving at about the same rate, 300-350 an hour.

"oh no a queue, oh i'm number 1, what?"[/QUOTE]

What server would that be? I'm playing on Ollo, which has the highest server population on the US side.

[nerdygamer]

Enla has like no queue if you are a patron. Not sure how it is for f2p people

[jiggu]

I queue'd up at 8PM, got in from 4300 queue at 11PM. I crashed after trying to change display settings and had to restart the computer, and was met with the unbearably slow launch time, but I still made it back before I had to requeue. So I got about 3 hours of fun before bed, so far the game feels really good. I really like the level of detail they've done with animations, as in specific animations for quest tasks. I can think of no other MMO that would put this much effort in.

[buhbang]

power of being patron.

Just turned on archeage and clicked on server I have a character in. Already in the game :v:

or maybe because everyone in europe is asleep right now

[Chickens!]

[QUOTE=sopie;46017160]What server would that be? I'm playing on Ollo, which has the highest server population on the US side.[/QUOTE]

I'm in EU and I'm on Melisara, which they added on launch so there was no Founders already set up on it.

[JerryK]

patron queue on tahyang is 1500

the past two nights it's been no more than 300

wtf

[editline]18th September 2014[/editline]

right now there are pigs waiting for me to butcher them in my garden, and several plants hidden on public land waiting to be harvested

and i can't help either them

this is a travesty

[dai]

[QUOTE=JerryK;46017303]patron queue on tahyang is 1500

wtf[/QUOTE]

two sources probably:

-people panic-bought patron to get ahead of queues
-someone on reddit told everyone queues on tahyang were nonexistent and a billion people lined up

edit- 7:15pm, hour 5

[img]http://i.imgur.com/19cu8Vo.png[/img]

tanks are now 5 hours and 50 minutes outside of Kyrios. I have lost nearly 47 minutes of ground in an hour.

[ryfry]

The last time I had to wait so long to play a game was when I still played SMNC.

[LordMoldyButt]

I've been waiting a good 3-4 hrs and only managed to go down like 200.

[Keegs]

[QUOTE=RichyZ;46017446]tahyang is full please go elsewhere peasants[/QUOTE]

Kyrios is fuller, they stay there!

[alexojm]

Haha at this rate we should rename the thread to "ArcheAge V1 - How long have you been in queue?"

Hopefully the booting of people sitting in character select will help out a bit. Going to sleep now hepefully when I get up my patron will have been restored so I can craft stuff to level as Jono, Paddeh and Xavith have hit 50 today and I am still 46.

I'm pretty fucking sick of that rule myself.

Until every user in the thread is AFKing obviously. (Until they patch it)

[Trafficman]

Entering the 12th hour being in the queue (~7am-7pm, started at about 1700), only 100 spots left in front of me

[Mickyan]

Someone tried to rob me by harpooning my rowboat

in a non pvp zone

do people not have anything better to do
