Ugh, the queue

Defilted · September 2015

Can we just have 1 campaign per server and not multiple and gate IC? This would be way more fun. This worked fine in DAOC, not sure why it would not work here.

@Defilted We are discussing exactly when we will open a Gated Campaign, but for the immediate future (EG the next few weeks) we're monitoring overall Campaign health\population and rule-set popularity. Those factors will determine what type of Gated Access Campaign we open later

Also for anyone that saw Scourge listed; we tried to resurrect the old campaign but it was giving us some trouble. This is also the reason we reset everyone's home assignment timers.

i lose the home timer reset because i logged in my home camapign...
/sigh

Ok, i have DLC and can get only to sewers an blue black tower dungeons because of queue 300+ in prime time. As dungeons are group, a have to spent hours waiting for group or queue instead of playing. WtF? The game should be for enjoying not for waiting.

Relax, Brian is opening campaigns for us. At least he's in here responding and taking action. I say, good job Brian

Keeping it open for now is probably a good idea as people do really want to go in and explore and get their Tel Var stones.

But, I can assure you that if you open such a campaign in a couple of weeks the majority of PvPers that logged in to Cyrodiil day after day even before IC, would flood that campaign in a heartbeat.

Being in IC is absolutely cool and stuff, but at the moment combat in the rest of Cyrodiil is dead on every campaign and that's not healthy either. It's been 2 days but I kinda already miss the zone chat banter, the rushing to save keeps, the Player v Player battles without NPCs getting involved etc.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the effect IC has on correcting population imbalance and reducing player concentration and lag within that campaign.

DAOC was always so fun to go in and take all the keep/relics so we could open the content and get the cool gear before another the faction did the same. One campaign really made the general PVP really important. We also did not see in DAOC the issue with certain factions always having the relics in one campaign because there was only one to go too. This prevented the buff campaign issue we have here.

I completely understand what I am suggesting is not a easy thing to change, but since we have DAOC guys at ZOS......

as you can see, the timer is since launch of ic, it hasent reset on launch for me, and still inst reset.
and hearing that it has been reset for everyone again. makes me question why i still have it?

also if you are wondering if i set and changed a homecampaign right at the start of ic, i like to point out what my currently assigned campaigns are

Brian, is there any chance of getting the rational option of... Dropping a campaign choice? You know... for those of us that have characters on all 3 factions? I have refused to home or guest anything, because having to shuffle campaigns with all my characters is extremely tedious. Can we please get the option to quit a campaign with an AP cost or something?

P3ZZL3 · September 2015

@ZOS_BrianWheeler Just a thought, and maybe Brian you could answer here as it is kind of linked.

Is there any chance of some kind of Guest Reset maybe? I know it's unlikely for the Home Campaigns but could it be set at 24hrs maybe? At least for the next 3-4 weeks whilst things stabilise?
Can you clarify the Rewards for the Worthy please? As mentioned, many people are in the campaigns/Cyrodiil. Do they all count towards the rewards for the worthy? So if we see 10000 people join Chilli over the last week, does that mean the top 2% in AP would be 200? (Even if the vast majority have never actually PVP'd over ground?)

Cheers

Brian's team are looking into this option for the future.

They don't even have to do an UI for this, if that's why this hasn't been implemented after more than a year. They could just reset Guest campaign assignment with every server reset.
