[QUOTE=Kakburken;46038701]I don't approve of queue-dodging either, but these queues are silly long, and if dodging it is the only way to play, might aswell play it.[/QUOTE]
The exact same thing happened with Aion on western release, they really should've known that any exploit to stay online and dodge queues would happen on a rampant scale.

Ever since i got patron the longest queue i been in was 6 people.
Gave my farms some guild signage.

The thing is that by dodging the issue you are inadvertently causing it.
Instead of a queue being maybe an hour like it should be, it's close to 10 because three thousand people are trying to squeeze into an already full server that nobody leaves because they don't want to be in a queue for 10 hours
Just past this and thought it was funny.

[QUOTE=Demoness;46038261]Anyone know where I can craft diving stuff like the helmet or flippers? I can't seem to find either in my folio.[/QUOTE]
Anyone? I read about them in guides but I can't find them anywhere. :v:
I've been waiting for 5 1/2 hours...

For me it's 1578, long way to go, but I hope tomorrow won't be any big ones.

They're suppose too, but you'll see us sitting for 1-5 hours at a time sometimes.
Well, I just found out that there's apparently no way to move a character from an NA server to an EU one. This shatters my initial plan of building a character on Ezi, and then, if I like the game enough, pay to get it moved to an EU server once they've solved their queue-time problems on those.
So now I've got to decide whether I should stay on the NA servers permanently, or if I should try my luck and buy Patron to see if that reduces the queue times to the extent that they're not ridiculous at least.
I'm kind of worried that the latencies I get on the NA servers will screw me over later on
Anyone else see offline in glyph? Are they resetting the servers?

Nevermind I'm stupid I completely ignored the 9/21 server restart announcement next to the button.

queue times in eu are getting better, and if you go EU you can come privateering with us
Still playing QueueAge. I'll probably start playing next month I guess when things settle down.
[QUOTE=Blanketspace;46038229]I'm beyond jealous of that scepter, however. You can jump right into a defiler build, Rice.[/QUOTE]
I do want to try defiler out, didn't get the time to in alpha. I just have to get the skills up to 50, but currently i'm getting auramancy/defense/vitalism up to 50 so I can run aura/defense/witch and be a Dream Breaker like I was in alpha. Though i'm contemplating switching to dream breaker after I get my illustrious lake set, so it seems like a huge buff when switching compared to possibly dying still.
NA Servers are back on now.
There are now 11 NA servers or did I miss this one before?

Is there any class that has some good old close range magic? I want to try a spellsword type thing but if not I might be a powerful musical wizard.

I cant launch the game at all.
At least they're changing up the waiting game. Now its a rollercoaster of servers going up and down.
Is there any NA server where gross faction imbalance isn't already noticeable? West is pretty much most of the population on Naima, it seems.

Restarting glyph fixed this
gg trion
Decided to try this out. Can't even register:

Meanwhile us Europeans, I don't think they give a shit about us, or maybe they will do something about it during next week.

They said the servers are in customs and should be released tuesday

If you're in the EU, definitely start over on an EU server.
It's not worth playing on NA servers, not only will you have to contend with latency issues (kiss goodbye to enjoyable PVP), you'll have to deal with completely out-of-sync timezones, meaning you'll have to sacrifice sleep to get some enjoyable Guild activities in (which isn't worth it imo, staying up till 4am just to have some fun with your guild is silly).
EU is definitely better for you, even though queue times suck and lack of servers and the fact you'll have to start over. I was gonna make a character on NA but ultimately I know I'll wanna be on EU, so I haven't bothered.

Fucking NA guys getting all the new servers and shit
After spending 3 days queueing and starting out at 4500 people. Waiting 4-5 hours at a time to get into the game, I caved and bought a month of patron. The queue of 3 people when I tried to connect was the most amazing feeling.
Today has consisted of so much piracy I have lost count. I did not even take pictures and document it all we did so much.

This next one was rather deep so we had to harpoon the boat to the ocean floor and cut the rope once we had the pack to avoid drowning.

We found a guy ganking a guy from the enemy faction on our land continent so we decided to wait for him to kill the guy then steal the trade pack before he could pick it up.

More enemy faction ganking. Our continent so we can attack them one at a time their numbers mean nothing. As you can see someone got really but mad and did a ban-able offence of reporting me as a bot so I had to go to Marianople to prove I was human.

Some guy learnt that you cannot outrun a harpoon within 70 meters.

Now time for some trickery. These 2 guys wanted to go to Austera so we charged them 6 gold and when we got out into open waters releaved them of their trade packs. I put on my founders stuff as a disguise as I was wearing a pirates outfit.

A great day for business. My blood stains are literally all over the Feuille Sound so when I next play I will probably be wanted twice over.
