How is the queue these days?

Wanting to play on Yelinak with a friend, but I know if we hit an hour+ queue he will lose interest fast. How was Mischief on launch day? I know one of the older TLPs had a horrible queue of multiple hours, but maybe it has gotten better with 64 bit?

Appreciate the input!

Hang on, I need to time travel for this...

OK, I'm back. The space-time portal had no queue. Yelinak was proving to be quite popular.

Hate to break it to you hun, but if a queue on the first day is enough for your friend to lose interest they are never going to make it on a TLP.

haha, thank you for the amazing insight Captain. How was Mischief last year?

Kahna, this is a situation where I have finally convinced him to give it a shot as I think once he gets invested he will love it, but I also know that if we are hyped to login and are met with hours of queues then it will be a much more difficult sell. We are also planning to lan together, and if we get hyped, I find the time to go to his house to play. And we have to wait hours to play, I do not think that would bode well for a first impression.

I don't think it will be as bad as some launches but there will be a queue. There's always a queue lol.

If you want to avoid queues then best to just log in early on Thursday and don't even think about Wednesday as launch day.

Mischief was the first TLP I've managed to get logged into at launch within the first hour. Usually I try for an hour or so and then head to bed and do it the following morning (12 hours ish after launch). Some times it pays to be in a different time zone to the majority.

They did a better job last year, although from what I remember Thorneblade had some tech issues and no one could log in there for a while, which possibly helped to lead to the misbalance of the 2 servers.

I live in hope for this year.

There will be queues on launch day at least on probably both new TLP servers. The reason is they lower the server cap until the players start to spread out in the game across more zones. I do not expect there to be a queue at least on Vaniki after launch and probably not even late on launch day. Yelinak will be the more popular server but even that I suspect won't have much of a queue after the first weekend. The Mischief/Thornblade ruleset was immensely more popular than what we are getting this year.

The issue with launch is character creation. If you are going to be there for the exact time of launch there will be queues because character creation can't handle as many as the server can. Once that bottleneck is over I doubt there are queues for either server, but I could definitely be wrong.

The best solution in this case would be not to play the first few days. I would wait day one start vs day five is negligible honestly. But avoiding ques is gonna make the experience a lot better.

I just realized DGx could make a killing by offering 1-200dollar "founders packs" letting people login a day earlier for a headstart....

Mischief wasn't too bad, compaired to past launches. Yes there were queues, exat time frame I am not for sure but I think it was about an hour or so after launch before I got on. Just let him know that on launch day to expect to wait at first. But once in the experience is alot better. Just give it time.

Or you COULD just.. skip the que and roll on Vox.. since thats where yer gonna end up anyways once GoD launches and the server dies as all the little hamsters move to the shiny new wheel next year.

/facepalm. Mental Illness is real for these people..

haha, that made me laugh.

I remember it being hell for 2020 TLP, but I was playing during Euro/USA Day-time Hours so I usually didn't have too-too much trouble compared to the rest of my guild mates and what they were posting in Discord.

Where are you from man?

no queue these days on any server, wait a few more days to login to a queue.

The old lady is from the UK. LOL

You your name, server, location reminds me of an old Quellious Wizard named "Nineveh" .. was guilded with on Vis Maior during the 99-2001 era.

I'll send you a pm later/closer to server release, maybe I tag along to whatever you're doing for guilds/leveling on Vaniki. I play USA Day-time (so Euro) hours ..
