I said what the OP did as soon as TU came out. I also think if your the emp of a camp you should have ZERO Q.

Just don't let the emp play in other campaigns and I'll be happy (yes, I know that the emp doesn't get the buffs in other campaigns, but the point still stands).

There would be no issue if there was only one campaign....

The problem is multiple campaigns.

i think if eso+ members dont want to wait, priorize them and thorw them in a random empty camp

It would be interesting to have an eso+ members-only campaign. So no prioritized queue, but hopefully it'd also come with a members-only jacket.

Perhaps remove all non ESO Plus members from the queue to an empty campaign until the queue is less?

Nah...Priority queue is the way to go.

Really, though: add a new campaign that you can only join if you subscribe. Helps (if not solves) having to wait in queue. Ensures that members only play with other "serious" players.

Why not?

Because...

If I can pay to NOT wait, I'll pay while you wait, especially since you've admitted you're willing to wait.

I am not subbed and having a priority queu might help me justify the cost of re-subscribing. I unsubbed because it simply didn't seem worth the money due the low benefit.

I also unsubscribed in protest because a good friend had his computer hacked by a trojan with a keylogger and then immediately afterwards got banned for gold-selling and the staff refused to even acknowledge the possibility that someone's game account and email address would have been hacked at the same time (which is normal in the case of a keylogger) and the wouldn't even consider lifting the lifetime ban on all his accounts. But that is another issue.

Having made my statement to the staff multiple times, I might consider resubscribing if there were sufficient perks to justify the cost. Additional bank slots, additional store slots, larger mailbox. All of these things are non-essential for play, and the server space could be paid for from the added subscriptions if only members who don't find the XP bonus worth the cost alone and don't really care to have a dozen different pets and mounts.

but you arent paying to not wait.
you are paying for your crowns, DLC access and 10% of whatever.

If you dont like that, stop paying.

If there was only one campaign the queues would be even longer...

Multiple campaigns literally give you the option to say "I don't feel like waiting in a queue, I'm going to go somewhere else to pvp." I find one of the beauties of not playing on campaigns I know are full 24/7 is never having to wait in queues. Guess I'm one of the few lucky enough to experience that.

Hmm...Did you read the OP?

Please read it, then come back and join the discussion. You're making no sense.

well, it happens when there is server stuff going on^^
next thing someone should suggest is that eso+ members can log on before maintenance is over

Perhaps it is stupid day. Did you read the OP?

Pay for and entitled wouldn't be considered the same by the educated.

laksikus

you new from the start what you get from a sub.
priority wasnt one of the things.

So they should ENABLE you to wait like everyone else

This makes no sense. I'm sorry did you read the OP? It's the first post.

The one at the beginning.

laksikus

its says they should enable it.

well they shouldnt. it was never part of the sub deal.

Ok Thanks.

I would love a priority queue for ESO plus membership, it would actually be worth subscribing then. If they did that then they could get rid of all the empty campaigns and have one vet and one non-vet campaign!
I don't know why some people are against this idea.

this whole idea is some self centered bull ***, glad to see how people only think of them selves. your crappy 15$ a month means the same as my 25$ per dlc AND we all PAID FOR THIS GAME, 60$ was the fee I paid upfront before playing. so my vote is cram your ego up your arse and wait in line like all the rest of us. good day. and troll your self cause I wont be looking back.

thats all fun and games, until you do some real math here buddy.

i counted and payed 18 months now for this game.

18x15=270
basegame cost imperial edition
80 at the time

270+80=350

2x dlc=50

350+50=400

so far i paid 400 for this game, and you think that doesn't even entitle us to a little bit extra comfort, if i spent 400 extra on a car. i at-least get climate control.

you logic is flawed and immature, and you are probably not paying, or you wouldn't be so but-hurt to eso+ members.

you can not compare the 60 ( doubt able) game is cheaper now. so lets say 2 dlc+basegamenow 100 euro?

lets say 110 to be decent here, so i paid 290 euro more, if you spent 290 euro, i think you would also expect something more..

so stop being a little ***, and stuff your own ego up your ass sir, you have not even a reason to be in this conversation.
and if you did a little bit of math at the start, you would have noticed its was actualy quiet a bit of money we are talkign about it.

sure 15 doesnt sound much, but you have to realise its every month. not just 1x. but i get it, you cant pay for it, and dont want people to get privaliged on you here, jsut becasue you are poor, we should not get stuff either.

wel that is just silly, that is like saying i cant eat a steak, becasue the baby next to me cant posible chew it..

its nonsence

laksikus

and now another math.
say i bought the game from gmg deal for what was it 12 euros?
then i sub for 1 month for 15( so total 27, half the price of TU at release) and you get those extra comfort.
you have paid nearly 15 times that much, and only get those unfair same things :P

Unfair...lol

I pay the bouncer to get inside, and out of line. You don't WANT to pay. So you wait.

This is as fair as it gets.

ESO Plus members should have priority queue as part of the package.

I'm certain a bunch of people would be willing to subscribe if Zos were to add it to the benefits already in the deal.

Someone is cranky,
Ultimately the flaw is in the game design. Sure there is a maximum cap of players per server about 600 per faction, BUT Nowhere in the game is there a Mechanic to make the numbers fair. Every game i have played online there has been equal players on each side(not including DC's). If the game was made more fair, with each faction requiring equal numbers online at the same time, i'm certain none of the servers would ever be full. All of them would be medium or 3/4 majority of the time not just 2 servers full, 6 empty. No one wants to go into the empty servers... because they are empty.

Giving ESO+ members a back rub and more entitlements would simply be a bandaid on a serious problem, Sure they would get in faster but the majority of the world would see increased wait times. So people will leave/quit.

What about the people on console that don't buy the subscription because they get a better deal buying the larger packages of crowns and purchase nearly every bit of fluff that comes to the crown store? Why should they get left out because they spent more money on the game than those just paying the base subscription every month?

Nothing requested was an entitlement.

1.ESO Plus is a paid subscription.
2. The entire community benefits from paid subscribers.
3. If priority queue adds enough subscribers, perhaps the server environment would benefit from more funding to improve current Population caps.

The flaw is in the game design. It's in the low population caps. And pop caps do tell us how many members of each Alliance are allowed in the campaign at one time. ESO Plus members should be at the front of the queue.

I am not subbed but I have purchased a fair amount of crowns. Why should I not get priority? I have given more to ZOS than many already subbed.

I do not want priority queue but if it is implemented it should be done properly.

Weekly & Monthly Priority Queue Packages via the Crown Store.

I would make ESO Plus cheaper because of the longer nature of the subscription model.

Properly would be part of the Subscription model.

Businesses rarely backpay what you get because of what you've spent and then give you that money towards a future product. They do in some instances offer loyalty rewards, but isn't that what ESO Plus is?
