Good job JChan, good job Daybreak. I'm sure this can be improved on in the future to display an ETA or position in queue so we know approx how long of a wait it is. But for now, on a holiday weekend and such a quick whip up code, you guys did the community a great service. I'm glad I can watch TV, browse the net, and do other things while waiting knowing others won't be leap frogging me. Thank you! As a thank you I'm buying $80 worth of Daybreak Cash on me and my g/f's accounts right now. I encourage others to do the same to show them appreciation Cheers, have a great weekend JChan and co.
And you're not as dismayed as I am, with all the "the code doesn't allow that" we've been fed over the years? Roshen was saying that a queue wasn't possible as recently as yesterday, and now, boom, we have it overnight.
Nice job DayBreak! It was a rough start to this new server but you did very well to correct the issues in a timely manner. You deserve a vacation!
Just because a programmer figured out a way to do it, doesn't mean other things players have asked for over the years had the similar insight. Although if you think about it, people have asked for a lot of things in the past, and many of the things eventually came to fruition were things they initially said they couldn't do. I don't think you should be that upset at them. A login queue system has to do with the login system, not changing the ingame code that has to do with the game itself. I would imagine something like a login queue is a lot easier to code in than creating flying mounts ingame for an example.
Holly Longdale @TheWindstalker · 2m2 minutes ago We're updating the login server now. All queuers will have to relog.
They rebooted the login server: https://twitter.com/TheWindstalker/status/602262377329872896 https://twitter.com/TheWindstalker/status/602265039878262784
I appreciate the new queue system but the fact that you're taking away code time from live servers for this really pisses me off. When we ask why stuff goes years and cant get fixed we hear excuses but you do this overnight ? Should we name the stuff that's been broken on live for years and never fixed ? When we ask for new features in the game you say you don't have the code time to add all of the stuff but this happens overnight ? You dedicate time for 1 server but ignore the rest.
"Connection terminated for inactivity!!!!" After waiting as told by your pop up that I am in a queue and your post says "We wont be kicked" - Working as intended hey!
A lot of the things that they've said aren't possible, they've just tossed it aside with "the code doesn't allow that." Again, as recently as yesterday, Roshen was saying that "the code doesn't allow that" in regards to a queue system. At this point, you have to now take anything that this development team has said in the entire time that they've been here with a grain of salt based on this, especially when it's been a "code doesn't allow that" excuse.
Just to correct you what Roshen said, because Roshen's post yesterday was a response to my question about adding a queue system. He never said the code doesn't allow that, he said this: https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/...-the-afk-problem-fix-inc.221884/#post-3234848
"code doesn't allow that" is code for no. Which is a lie its all possible given the right resources which EQ has not had in a decade. But hey lets dedicate time for 1 server over the rest.
Dedicate time on something that wont even be used in a month. God I love how your team manages its resources.
When you can't login to EQ Live servers, then we'll see about them spending resources over a holiday weekend to fix it. Because players have paid for something they haven't been able to access due to an antiquated login system. It rightfully needed to be fixed so people can even login. Now would you and others please stop creating offtopic posts in this thread? This thread is for feedback regarding the new queue system. Also stop putting words in Roshen's mouths, as he never said "the code doesn't allow that" that some keep stating.
There are plenty of other servers that they could have logged into. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the login system keeping them from logging into Fippy, Bertox or even Zek. They just all wanted to get onto one specific server. Back in my day when a server was full, you went to a lower pop server, you didn't cry about not getting onto Nameless.
ok so now i get a time out for waiting to long on the server select screen after clicking ok for the queu? What am I missing...
