"Waiting In Queue" (Press K for more)

Hey guys & girls,

So, I sure by reading the title that many of you know what I'm going to say and how frustrating this whole situation can be, when you really want to experience something and you are denied for a long period of time.

Now I know that many are still progressing through the game and having a blast and I've yet to personally experience any bugs or many issues that has stopped me in my tracks from being able to progress or remove the fun from the game, until this very moment.

The queuing up system in Neverwinter is in all words, horrendous. I'm hoping that with the game fully opening up to everyone tomorrow that this may change over the next few days, but there has to be something, which can be done (apart from group up with friends and guild mates, as sometimes they aren't online when you need them). Either way I do hope this is something on the priority list for Cryptic to be reviewed and changes made to avoid people like myself waiting ... near 3 god hours to enter Lair of the Mad Dragon or Throne of Idris is just a joke.

Apart from that, I'm loving the game

I'll necro this tomorrow to see how you feel about it then, when the game is actually launched, and no longer in a 'headstart' mode ....

It would be awesome for this to be resolved tomorrow, but we shall see!

I think he means it's going to be worse and you're complaining about nothing.

Not at all. Lets just assume, for arguments sake, that 100,000 people bought founders packs. He is queueing up in a pool of 100,000 users, looking to find 4 more with compatible parameters.

Increase this pool to 1,500,000, and see what happens to the queue times...

This is an 'issue' that can only be 'resolved' by customers playing the game.

A lot of times I just wish they'd let me do the quest/dungeon/skirmish solo. Screw parties and that "trinity" bullcrap. Just let me do it myself. I'd probably get it done faster than having to first wait for a whole party to form anyway - or die trying - but at least I'd be trying as opposed to standing around or running in circles waiting for other people to decide they want to do that same [whatever] also.

The only things you can't attempt to solo are skirmishes. Walk up to a dungeon entrance and go in, it's not hard.

I still trying to understand how the queue up system works as it either just requires 5 people to queued up for that dungeon or if they need to have a guardian, 1 healer and 1 dps and the rest they fill up, cos I've been in a dungeon once with 3 clerics a rogue and a guardian.

It is if you didn't know the dungeon entrances existed :P

Since I started playing on Saturday, I have always had a Guardian in my group. But my sample size is not that large. From what I have seen it looks like the queue system requires at least a tank and a healer per group. Although as you have mentioned, I have also seen groups with multiple Clerics.

Touche. Also, I hate that PWE's forums don't let me use the accent in "touche."

Wait times will likely never get much better, until there are a lot of people at the level cap. Mid/high-level instance queues are always terrible in pretty much every game because people are always so spread out and not many of them are interested in doing long dungeons for loot they will outlevel in a few minutes. It's usually just the lowest level instances and the level cap instance that run frequently. This staggered release made it worse, it's unlikely many of the 30th players are going to catch up to the 25th and 27th players that actually put any effort into leveling.
