I have a life account and I have not been able to even get the loader to open up for the last two hours. This is wrong since we are suppose to have queuing priority. I do not complain much about stuff But not even being able to log in to the normal STO game is wrong.
It would be nice if I could log in and play some actual Romulan content on tribble today, but it appears that the nice queue won't be letting that happen. I sat there at around 400 until it finally DC'd me. I would have assumed that the subscriber perk of no queues would have been in effect on tribble.
Not a huge issue though, already got my 1 hour in and a Romulan character created.
Just wait a few minutes, you will progress in the queue.
if by progress going from 287 to 13000 range, while waiting. I seriously doubt there are 13000 people wanting to play or are trying to log in. This should play while we wait

Guys and Gals ... this open beta ... one of the most important things for Cryptic and its developers to get out of this is a stress test.
That means the stuff you're all doing with the queues ... the waiting, the dc's the stress you're putting on the server, is HELPING them get ready for launch.
Hang in there and realize that this issue with the queues is one of the key things they WANT to see get tested. In just this manner. So that they have some lead time (say 10 days between now and the 21st) to smooth it out and get the actual launch to not be killed by these issues.
Thumbs up to everyone doing their part for stress testing the servers!
The jump in queue position is a visual error. They had this problem in Neverwinter the first day it went into open beta. The lower number (when it displays) is correct.
As a lifer and open beta tester, I have enjoyed previewing and testing the new content greatly. The constant server outages, however, have really tested my patience to the limit, though I have avoided any nasty posts up to this point. However:
1) Queue is screwed up. It says I'm 500th or so out of 500, and then after a while jumps to 14,500th out of 14,500. I am fine with waiting in line but not when the line is messed up!
2) Servers have crashed way too often this week for any company other than EA. (We all know what to expect from EA)
3) Tribble Test Weekend happens on Mother's Day weekend, which will make it very difficult to get on the servers for a lot of folks.
4) Unscheduled server wipe was frustrating. Then you block out the option to copy characters over from holodeck to force people during open beta to test the new content...seems like a heavy-handed thing to do since I wager most open beta testers, other than those who don't want to see spoilers, are going to want to check out the new content. However, it means it will be impossible for most testers, who didn't copy a high level character over in time, to test the new tholian reputation system gear this weekend.
5) With LoR beta and Neverwinter open beta all at the same time, queues of all kinds are taking longer to pop on Holodeck these past two weeks, and with the outages and now this interminable Tribble queue I am just fed up about all the lost time I have spent sitting in queues--especially queues that fail because of players going AFK instead of hitting "engage."
Since I cannot get ON tribble to test anything, I am going to submit the following report to the development team.

Now if only they were to upgrade their servers or even shock horror get another server to run alongside the first, it would be a great idea, reduced lag and higher user capacity in one investment, shame they don't do this
I was at 839 out of 1174, and now suddenly I am 8388 out of 8388 after waiting for 20 minutes. No idea how this is decided but whatever it is, it is just idiotic.
...guess I should watch an episode of Games of Thrones.
mines is jumping between 25/270 and 15427/15427
I assume its really the former..

I'm not complaining about waiting in a queue, but I agree that the queue position numbers displayed are inaccurate. It keeps switching between what I assume is my actual position (numbers like "85 of 250"), and "15833 of 15833". I'm guessing that this is the result of the game client not getting an response from the server.
We've identified the bug with the Tribble queue (i.e. queue sometimes displays incorrect position, jumps around, etc.) and are working on a resolution.

Thanks for that.. Were just about to post or something.
It shows progress briefly from 300+ down to 250 ish, then jumps to 27k.
Does Tribble have the Gold/LTS "Jump-to-the-head-of-the-line" benefit attached to it?

It's Gold (LTS/Subscribers) and Silver (F2P but pay for Cryptic Store items)...
Fun fact, you're paying for a jump in the queue on the Holodeck server, not on Tribble. Tribble, everyone is equal.
Also, my solution, you won't like. Put LTS behind everyone else since they don't pay anything other than that one time fee.

Just now I was 257 out of 307 and read a post and checked on the queue and now I am 11609 out of 11609..
Oh almost forgot.. I am also a lifer... hmmm . I guess that does not mean squat in a test server.

Not a huge issue though, already got my 1 hour in and a Romulan character created.
Now we can move on.

Then it changes to lower numbers, 450, 14762, 390, 14762, 364, etc
Seems to want to put me at the end of the queue then bumps me back up to where I "should" be... hmmm

Really dude? How is that helpful to anyone at all?
But I just want to say this, for those who don't know: Tribble doesn't have priority login. Only Holodeck uses that
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
It is. The ridiculously high number (usually placing you at the back of that number) is a glitch. Ignore it.

This seemed to only happen when I Alt+Tab away from the queue screen. It's harmless enough, thought I could mention it.
