    With the server cloning coming, should we change to it or let loads of others go and we stay put hoping for playability of our server to return?

    If you have no idea what i'm talking about check out this thread

    poll incoming :pac:

    i think we should stay. alot of people will leave so why should we leave when the original server will have no queues?

    I'm not in your guild, not even on Destruction side for that matter but I voted no as I want to (hopefully!) enjoy killing people I recognise as the game goes on.

    I would've rolled Destruction though honestly and asked to join your guild if it weren't for the rediculous queue's. I would lose interest if I had to queue for any longer than ten minutes. Noticing queues on Order side now too though and it doesn't impress me much at all :(

    I'd hope all the order lads follow the same as the majority of the guild decide as we enjoy attacking you lads as much as you do us. :D

    I went for the Atari Jaguar option: I suggest we wait a day or so and see what happens to the queues, then decide.

    The clone is being done tomorrow, personally I have no problem waiting a day and seeing if it makes any difference, but I can guess a few people don't want to lose a day of XP/Renown gaining. :pac:

    Well it would appear we are staying put. It'll be about Saturday/Sunday before we notice a change in queues that's giving time to people that only get the weekend to play or just haven't heard the news yet to make up move or not. :D

    Hopefully they queues are gone by friday so I can join you guys.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    No
    I got fed up with the queues on azgal so i rolled order on there instead with a few lads from dark keep.
    Up to now ive been messing around with chars but now am ready to settle on one or maybe two :)
    Now that the queues may be gone or lowered i think ill delete my order toons and roll destruction again :) time to settle on a server me thinks :)
    I do have other destructions on eight peaks but i just dont know the guys in the guild there.
    Ill ask for an invite on ventrilo later :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 726 ✭✭✭Lister1


    I voted AJ and reckon you should rerun this poll a week after the cloning has happened.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,346 ✭✭✭Rev Hellfire


    I'm intending to use this period to try out different characters on what ever has the lowest wait, then once it looks like the servers have settled down I'll decide where I'm staying.

    Betrayed ! Cully don't join the forces of eeeeeeevil... at least until we pick our destruction server :p


    We should have a competition, how many times will cully delete his toons, swap sides, level, delete toons, swapo changeo, repeat...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully

    I didnt vote but would like to move pureply so i can keep my 4 order chars [if keeping them is possible]

    LOL Rev its impossible how many toons or times deleted,swapped etc.

    Im always the same with MMOs,usually takes me weeks to settle on a home,a faction and even longer on a main or three :)

    Much like myself then, I've deleted all my Order characters last night and rerolled Destruction. What sealed it for me though was the pure defeatest attitude in the Scenarios from Orders players, time after time just standing around and not even trying, saying it's because Destruction rule the server yada yada.
    That plus I want to try out the Shaman and Black Orc :)


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore

    The queues are forcing me to play on a different server at the moment but I have a toon on the 8P server at level 4. I play order on a different server and we are massively out numbered.... which is great! Scenarios take 10 minutes to get into and you can pretty much chain them. ok, our towns get attacked alot but thats actually kinda fun because dying isnt much of a problem! Nothing better then defending a keep and getting RP up the yazoo for it :)

    On Topic: I think we should move because most people will stay I think, but meh... I'd also give it a few days and see.

    Surely the best bet would be to wait a few days but continue playing on the servers your still on.
    And if everyone has the same idea and decides to stay then in a few days get everyone to move to the new server.
    Getting the better server in the long run is surely more beneficial than the 50/50 chance of missing out on a few days of levelling...

    its peak time on servers now, theres queues on peaks but not on the guilds server azgal, so get moving guys!

    Looks like the everyone thought the same as us and didnt move, queues are just as bad as ever. And the cloned server has a low/med rate, any sign of them increasing the server cap?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,109 ✭✭✭ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

    Remember your deleted chars are still on the cloned server.
    Ive deleted my order chars too but shall play them at some stage on their new home :)

    Ive rolled a zealot [Cully],shaman [Cullzor] and Black Orc [Cullorc] on Azgal,awesome thought went into them names i must say :P

    Well it was really a level 14 IB and a level 7 RP I deleted ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall

    Was over 2 hours for me. Gave up.

    Looks like the new system is making a balls of the queue's. I imagine it will all be resolved soon and we'll be "queue-less".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Drakar


    No
    The only way it gets resolved is
    1) if less people play on the server
    2) they increase the server limits
    3) we move to cloned server

    We might just be stuck with it now tbh as 1) although people are getting peed off with server queues, Im sure some new people are still joining the full servers to be with friends etc, 2) we don't know if/when they will be able to increase the server limits, and 3) people will just give out about losing levels if we moved to cloned server.

    I did notice my queue said 2hrs but it actually completed in 1hr so maybe its not as bad as it looks, but still.

    The queue times did increase after the last patch, but as mentioned above thats because of the change to if people get kicked they jump to the front of the queue, thats not something they are going to "fix", it's fairer to everyone in the long run (getting pushed to the back of the queue when your client crashes is teh suck as those crazy kids say).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,139 ✭✭✭Wreck


    No
    Sorry lads, but this is crazy. It might be ok for people able to play at off peak, but I'm not willing to put up with 90 minute queues when I get in from work. So I'm off, won't be playing on Karak Azgal anymore. Good luck with the guild, do boards proud!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Nehaxak

    They really need to allow more players on the servers/upgrade servers/whatever as this is getting rediculous :(

    In from work at 8pm and got a queue of over an hour ? Nah and I cba rerolling midweek on another server either so I just quit out of it and will watch some football instead :)

    This single issue though could be the games killer in it's first month. There's not an awful lot of people around that could put up with this when they're trying to get to grips with the game and I'm sure will put a big dent in subscriptions or even with people thinking about subscribing to the game after their first month is up.

    I like the game though but if the queues keep up like this then I'm not going to bother playing on the European WaR anymore and will just get the US version instead where at least it's not GOA and Mythic will do something about it.

    MAYBE ... If they clone them again people will actually move this time hah

    I think what happened is that a fair amount of people moved to the cloned servers, realised that there was no one there, then came back. Can they not just up the number of order that are allowed in the servers, while keeping the same number of destruction?

    As it is i will have an off-peak and an peak time realm. Like above, i'm not waiting 1hr+ to login after a 12 hour shift in work.

    When you guys get home from college/work do you go straight to the PC to play WAR?.

    Join the Q and use that hour to walk the dog..make dinner..talk to wife ..help kids with homework..put kids to bed..open a Guinness...watch the Footie..read some WAR forums..read Boards...post about the bad Q's.

    I know If I was single I'd play the minute I got home though...but I aint :P.


    In my circumstances the Q doesnt bother me in the least as it indicates there are plenty of players to kill and do PQ's with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Nehaxak

    ^^ Yep, soon as I come in now in the evenings I've logged in to WaR and joined the queue. Sorted homework with kids, made or ate the dinner, watched some TV or whatever :) but by that time it's like 9.30pm or so and I'm still in the queue and sure I've lost interest at that stage or got stuck into a film on the satellite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Drakar

    Guy I know gets his wife to queue him up as he heads home. More people need wives like that!
