Getting a bit ridiculous..

These queue's are freaking ridiculous...
I spend 10-15 mins waiting to get into a dungeon. When I get in my game takes 8 minutes to patch (where I crash more often than not during and yes, I know I can disable in-game patching.) . When I finally get through that, my group is 4 TR's and a GWF...
How hard is it to code the queue's so there is 1 tank 1 healer and 3 dps classes? That coding cannot be that difficult. There is maintenance literally 7 to 8 times per week on the game and every time you fix problem A you create problems B, C, and D.
I understand me not being able to queue for a dungeon and enjoy the game doesn't directly impact Zen sales but leaving the game entirely because it is a poor, lazy, and terribly managed project certainly will.
There are like two things to do at level 60, queue a dungeon or queue PvP... if your queue system is completely broken and terrible then what am I supposed to do at 60?

They're so slow that you AFK out while trying to load in to PvP matches. Amazing. I'd leave it downloading, but right now, it's so slow that it'd make no difference. I'm at a loading screen for a PvP match with a popup telling me that I've been removed for being AFK too long, and have been there for the last fifteen minutes. All I have to look forward to is waiting for the game to recover enough to kick me out
As far as the queue system goes, if there aren't any Clerics or Guardians available it will put you together with whatever is available. At that point you have the option of either leaving, or try to make it work. Having the option is better than no option at all.
Like with any other game, if no one decides to roll a healer, or to a less extent in this game, a tank, expect queues to be long, and also in this case, sub-optimal.
It's entirely possible that it's the players, but I've had no issues with on demand patching til today. Given this is beta, my first instinct is to look at Cryptic lol.
I'm not sure that word "literally" means what you think it means.
The problem is the concept, it works well on low to medium server load days, but when you have high server load it slows to a snails pace due to all the people hitting the server for the data.
I'm not sure you understand how many times the game has gone down for maintenance. Hope you're enjoying your $200 deposit on a busted game, Oh wonderful "Hero of the North".
As far as it being my ISP, I thought that possibility as well but it is not just me experiencing this. As far as the queue's go, I'm fine with a long queue to have a legit group rather than a 10 min queue to get 4 TR's and a GWF. Even If i wanted to try to run that dungeon you think there is any chance you are getting all 5 people to do that? Dream on.
C'mon guys, my toaster is faster than your servers, do something about it!!!
With the money you get from 500 spider-riding-visa-charging-spoiled-to-the-bone kids you can buy yourself a full room of new racks that can carry the whole thing for years to come.
It's not hard, but this isn't a game where that is needed. If people learned to adapt and learn new things, they could beat every boss just fine. I've seen it, it's part of the reason for the adds with bosses and companions.
NEW METHOD FOR TROLLING!
To get out of an area, other than Protector's Enclave, one must click on a sparkly door and select the new area. However, when you are NOT in protector's enclave, only ONE person can use the door at a time. What this means is that people are now clickin on the door and going afk, preventing anyone else from using teh door, essentially trapping everyone else inside. This somehow does not invoke the AFK timer and they can do this all day.
Work-around.
Switch to another instance and then use the door. However, I have noticed this a fair bit of late.
PW please fix.
I actually wholeheartedly agree with you on this Tf, problem is everyone is so focused on the classic style of MMOs that morons leave dungeons before attacking one mob if the group makeup doesnt match what they feel is appropriate.
Considering I've been playing it every day yes I think I "understand how many times the game has gone down for maintenance". It surely hasn't been once a day like you claim. And yes I am enjoying my time in the game thanks for your concern. If you're not than that's your own problem. Carry on.
Technically correct, but in the last week it was down 6 times in total for planned maintenance and emergency maintenance. That is an awful lot of downtime and a few of them occurred during what would be considered peak playing time.
The game is quite good, but it has some real glaring flaws that are hindering players. I'd much rather see them resolve things like the queuing problem mentioned, or the behind the scenes patching, or the exploits before they concern themselves with additional content or frivolous things like dye packs. Hell, let me buy a power respec with any of the 98 in game currencies even.
But then, I'm playing a guardian fighter. 30-second queues, anyone?
Occam's Razor makes the cutting clean.
Quite amusing, mate.
I'm a DC, playing in peak hours and in all the time I played, I got ONE less then 15 minute queue.
So much for the "there are no clerics in this game".
And the patching problems yesterday where just bloody pathetic for a company, that runs several other games and is supposed to have experience in MMOs.
I also have no patching problems as I've disabled on demand patching in the game launcher and have downloaded the whole game to my system. Try it. Fire up the launcher. Go to options. Near the bottom it's going to have a little box that you can check off that says "Disable On Demand Patcher".
Close launcher after applying and then wait about five minutes. Fire it back up and wait for the (roughly) 2.2 gig download of the rest of the game. Problem solved.
