queueage is a nice game when the queues aren't 6+ hours (no exaggeration, I've sat in queues for more than 6 hours)  

 

Holy mother of queues, well I guess thats why Ive been saving up for all the other hyped games!  

i love the queues that take roughly 1/3 of your day and allow you 2 hours at most of realistic playtime if the game doesn't crash, kick you out for AFK or servers don't randomly crash for no reason

love this game

played for 15 min before servers restart and kick me out, re-queued at noon, 4 hour queue, finally get in, crash while loading (lol), queue is longer and I have work to do tonight so I'm getting 30 minutes of playtime today at the very most assuming the game doesn't crash again. glad my spot is being taken by gold sellers and farm/trade bots

BACK TO LEAGUE AND OSU

This is actually making Riot during the LizardSquad DDoS and Opeli incidents look like a fabulous company. Sad for those who paid for Patron, Trion is the ****tiest company I've experienced in a long time. I would be pissed if I were paying for Patron atm. The CEO was actually laughing at how ****ty this launch was without addressing a single thing, from Patron "priority queues" being fake and the ridiculous waittimes to play.

Is there a known reason why they aren't addressing this issue with adding more servers?  

they supposedly are, but they don't want to add too many right now because "muh spreading of population"

There's an exploit people are using to remain online so that they get full online labor regen+not stuck in queue. It's extremely well known and literally everyone is using.

They have a build that's shipping tomorrow that fixes this exploit, so that should significantly reduce queues.

Anyways, they're idiots when it came to calculating the population at launch. I told them 6 servers wasn't enough, and that OBT numbers weren't accurate at launch(who plays when they dont get to keep their stuff), but they told me they're "ready to add more servers if needed".

And here we are with 11 servers and massive queues on all of them.

They're adding more servers, they're installing new hardware as the shipments come in. They're also actively kicking AFK mount levelers and are decreasing the AFK timer to shorten the queues as much as possible.

They had to use the numbers they had right then, and they didn't foresee the massive launch they had.  

queued at 1:00 PM yesterday, got in at 10:20 after a 3k queue and got a solid hour of playtime before I had to sleep because my schedule is ****ed due to League's Worlds. i'm not even on a populated server, I'm on ****ing Inoch and these queues are still disgusting. and sadly during the workdays the queues aren't long enough for me to queue when classes start and get on after, so that's convenient too

it also appears I have roughly 15 minutes to respond to a queue popping else the "Gods" disconnect me for character-select AFKing lmao

sorry I have things to do in the meantime and can't sit around watching a queue go down all day Trion

this is pretty neat too: http://www.reddit.com/r/archeage/com...1_mega_thread/  

oh okay so the Patron queue thing got fixed and apparently idlers are being kicked out for Patrons / the bots kicked out too  

Queue seems much better now.

If only my friends could actually make characters, though!  

Yea queues are better when its not the evenings.  

skill, how to I get started with making $$$bank$$$ off trade packs

I have patron and need to make my $$$ back  

Get a good group:

Rock salt stabilizers are worth 1-2 gold each and you get 10-15 of em per pack. Stealth to the resource trader if you have to.

if yiou're west, run marianople duck down to villanelle.

if you're east run some trade pack to two crowns, nobody camps it\

if you get chased drop boats on em(summon your rowboats or clippers in their path if they're chasing to slow them down)

if you get harpooned then stealth+ dive into the water until they leave

if you can craft an dive helmet, get that and go hunting near seabug patches are.(noobs die to them and lose packs). Or go diving where bloodstains are in deep water.

If you're looking to steal packs from the enemy faction, here's some tips:

-Have one player as a forward scout spamming stealth as a shadowplay, warning of oncoming ships

-Have the rest ready to glide onto the ship and steal

-Get the galleon for the radar, get 2 more clippers with eco fuel that cut them off with harpoons.  

What server you guys playing on? I have a character on Naima but I'd like to play with some of you guys!
