I honestly dont mind waiting for the queue it was going kinda fast but its starting to annoy me that after waiting multiple times for it to get under 6k that it randomly jumps up into the 40k range and doesnt move -.- whats the deal anyone have any answers ?

    yeah theres a known message bug in their queue time code that jumps up at sometimes and i mean SOMETIMES updates the counter counting down. No worries, After waiting 1 hour and 15 min at around 5:30pm CST I finally logged in. I am testing a new theory at home on a macro function to keep me logged in period so i dont have to wait in queue at all.

    find a good place not to die in game .. prop a pencil holding the W forward key down to keep your character moving, so that you wont get logged out. SAVED by the #2 Pencil :)

    "Update: You may experience a short queue while starting Neverwinter"

    Right now my queue position is 40500 (back from 3755), if they think im going to wait
    2 hours or more to log in they must be completely crazy.

    Sounds like a good way to get banned (and for good reason).

    Simliar issue though it doesn't appear to actually affect my position in queue. It keeps jumping to 26891, then return to what it was previously.

    Was wondering about the Queue myself, said 7590 then 36790 etc, with this tiny amount of server bandwidth and space, I don't know how many people they are going to impress today.

    From what I can tell the counter sometimes bugs out and thinks there's a single server and places you behind the other 2 servers.

    From what I can tell it doesn't actually affect your place in your servers queue.

    I know this is an "Open Beta", but come on, these Queue Position wait times are becoming a bit ridiculous. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and still not able to enter a game. Is this a common thing? Is there always Queue Position wait times? or Can we usually get in instantly with no problems?

    I would like to know, because I absolutely don't like being Queued.

    It's like making a kid wait to see Disneyland, it's just not fair haha...seriously

    The Queue is a Lie!

    There is no queue - notice how there was no queue through the beta weekends?

    There was only one server then as well.

    The queue has been manufactured to try make everyone buy the $200 pack to get priority access. They are getting desperate to extract your money from your pocket. This game is a money grab.

    That's nice, but it's been 3 hours, and I've yet to connect. Queue in, round 7k, all good since it's a fresh OBT. Unfortunately it keeps disconnecting, over and over again. Maybe it's a server connection time-out, maybe it's a bug, i don't care. The most important thing about a game is being able to bloody play it!

    The OP has valid reason to post in here, but after the OP this thread slowly degenerated into "oh my god I have to wait in queue, waaaaaah"

    Seriously guys, this is a beta (and obviously not just one of those 2-3 weeks from release promotional betas) what the hell are you expecting? Besides, this is/will be a free to play game. I imagine most, if not all, of you haven't payed a cent to the devs yet, so what gives you the privilege to expect a service on par with a game you payed 50$ for?

    Pay for what exactly? A game I can't play? It's pretty hard to reel customers in when you present them with faulty merchandise. Like i said, I don't mind the queue, as long as I don't keep getting disconnected.

    I'm just confused as to why PW is having such a horrible queue issue here when all their other titles use the same template. I play STO and other products of theirs even in their early releases queues were never this long, its just ABNORMALLY long for what I have seen before.

    Yeah, nice try pal. You really can't go with the old "Quit whining, you didn't pay for this game" excuse here. Even if it IS an Open Beta, there are expectations to uphold on many occasions. Nobody's gonna pay money for a game that they have to wait 2 hours to get into, plain and simple. And nobody's gonna invest money into a game if that's their only real advantage.

    This ain't disney world, man.

    They're gonna take down the servers in about 9 hours and patch things. I'd ask why not now, but better later than never.

    is not a real issue, also to me jumps from 4k to 50k in queue, but if u wait it jump again to a "normal" status, so imo is a lag of server response...

    what i want to know is how many stress tests dev are done before OB, cuz every day 0 for a f2p game is tragic but for this game is really catastrophic, my sad.

    i have max respect for how works behind this game (and other ones obviously), hope they can fix all at soon as possible, the game is awesome.

    This had better get sorted. I like this game, I bought two out of the three founders packs and have been recommending it to friends. But I'm not queuing more than a few minutes to play. I work all day and don't expect to sit in a queue that jumps from 1000 to 106000.

    I'm from england and its like 8:40am here I would assume its around midnight or what not in america? so surely it cant be that busy on a weeknight? going from 1k to 131.3k in queue?

    bare in mind I got in fine in the MASSIVE rush to log in at launch, disconnected once or twice too and still no queue what so ever? I understand queues do work in games like league of legends but this at the moment doesnt seem to be?

    However I do understand this is a beta for TESTING and people paid for an unpolished/unfinished games hence bug testing etc etc. So numbers / queue times plus loads of other things will be tested ^^

    I would assume these mad queue times are because their servers still only have the slots for closed beta with maybe only a small boost? but hey atleast it shows this game has a good following ^^

    Same here earlier today when I first made my character I was able to get on. But now even at 2:39 am CST I'm getting a 1K+ queue that after about 5 mins jumps to over 100k. I've been waiting for this game to come out. And after seeing this I'm actually glad I did not spend any money on this game. Because if I did I wouldn't be too happy. All I know is hopefully this gets fixed because with how the game is now. Its not even worth playing.

    lol I got a queue no 30 K something .. this is just bad .. PWE/Cryptic should had a solution .. I'm suprised the public open beta launch turned out so bad .. also they should divide the servers in to NA and EU IMO ..

    This is just bad i've been queueing for 2 hours and I keep getting pushed back in queue .. started out 1639 and ended up 30 K something ...


    very disappointed

    I will wait until they fix this issue
