I think i had a 254min yesterday,which actually ended up being way close to 360min. Apparently EQ Queue timer and actual time aren't ticking at the same clock rate.
I am finding you can generally add about 120 minutes to whatever timer they give you. Through personal experience only.
For lulz I clicked Aradune before logging on to play Mangler with a friend last night. 255m at 10:30pm EDT.
Cancelled. A 254 minute queue, more than two weeks after server release? I'm out. Like most people, I aim to play evenings and weekends (EST). There has not been a time in two weeks that I could access the server conveniently.
263. That means that if somebody really wanted to play, he'd have to wait and check the computer in a regular way during at least 5 hours. And even that wouldn't guarantee that he gets in . One would have to be crazy to do that - personnally I close the computer and go to do something else .
That only works as you enter prime time. You have to subtract time when leaving prime time for an accurate estimate.
Back at 2:30 EST I had a QUE timer of 162 min * I'm still.............................. waiting its been over 4 hrs > Yesterday... SAT around the same time... QUE timer was 150 something * I waited OVER 3 hrs
10:30 EST. Started queue. 11:15 logged in and "client crashed" to desktop less than 3min after. EIGHT hours and 15 MIN later I am STILL in new queue.
262 minutes as of 2 PM PST. So if that is accurate I should be on by 6:30 P.M. But from my experience they always run longer because when players are done for the night, they don't log off. They use auto scripts to stay on to avoid the queue and the GM are doing nothing about it despite reports and petitions.
We need to get a tracker website up to see which guilds and individuals can get the server records for highest queue times.
