A queue!!?!?! Are you serious??!?!

Not only do we buy this game for $$ there are loyal players who love this game and pay for a subscription for ESO +... What's the PLUS exactly?!?! Still have to sit in 40-minute queues.
As a SUPPORTER and a PLUS member I EXPECT to be at the front of that DAMN queue over all the other PLEBS in this damn game.

NOT only that but I think it is WRONG on so many levels to make your player base WAIT 40 minutes to play the game.

What in the world. NO GAME EVER HAS DONE THIS.

People pay money for this Sh*t and this is what we get??

Honestly FIX YA SERVERS! Stop pushing content if it means players cant actually play!?!

MY GOD, is there a lawsuit against these people yet. THIS IS SOOOO WRONG!!!!

    Don't even queue. Many players are getting kicked out after minutes of playing. Waiting 40 minutes to play for 5 minutes only to be kicked and wait another 40 minutes is not fun. Be happy I told you beforehand. I spent 3 hours only to play 10 minutes total.

    I want to hear from ZOS on this. Is this queue a permanent thing?! They need to start addressing their customers. Seriously can't expect we're happy about this sh*t.

    I want to know:
    1. Is this permanent?
    2. I'm an ESO plus subscriber and I can't play, What compensation are you offering to people who are PLUS members and can't actually play.
    3. No priority for ESO+ people who are supporting this game... LIKE DAMN, where's the VIP treatment.

    Hmm. Aion on release, with about 9000 servers, and a minimum 30 minute queue. Buy with subscription was the only way to play.

    @Iron_Butterfly you may want to try leaving the queue, and then rejoining. My initial queue to log in was 36 minutes and change, but it timed out. After I relogged, I got in in about 45 seconds.

    I imagine the PC EU users are all saying "Welcome to our world!" But I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time there's been a login queue for the PC NA server. There are probably a lot of people trying to log in at once, and presumably this is to help spread out the number of people logging in at any given time so the server doesn't get overwhelmed.

    ....heh...I hate to say it, but there's other games that have done this. Blade x Soul not only had login ques at one time, but they also prioritized paid subs so if you were F2P, you were basically not getting into the game.

    Which doesn't make it right. I waited through a 45 minute que, only to play for about 20 minutes, enter into a fun WB fight where me and one otehr guy were killing a boss together in the new zone...then I get DC'ed halfway through and am now sitting on a login que again :/ Not happy =_=; I also sub and bought the EP....but I'm more unhappy I missed out on a really fun fight that was way more entertaining than just zerging the boss down

    I gotta say, when I was getting my popcorn ready for the shitshow I expected today to bring, I never imagined it would be for the issues that people were plagued with today. I thought it would be changes that people didn't like, especially vampire changes... but it's been entertaining nonetheless.

    ZOS has given too many reasons to not just be blindly loyal to them and yet people still do it, and are still surprised when things like this happen.

    ESO plus doesn't mean you're a VIP, you're simply paying for a craftbag and some extra dungeons that you probably no longer bother with now you have the gear from them.

    It SHOULD mean that... At least give priority to subscribers in queues and customer support etc. Thats not TOO much to ask for. These are the people who are helping to support the game ongoing and that should be acknowledged.

    Queue jumps, absolutely. I've played more than a few MMOs where subscribers got to file in game tickets, and might actually get their issues resolved, if they were in game when a CS rep could get to them. However, in regard to your questions:

    You get 1650 Crowns for being ESO plus. Basically all you did was promise to buy crowns for X months and got a bonus from that. That alone is already more than someone paying $15 a month to just buy crowns. In ADDITION:
    • You get access to all DLC
    • Access to unlimited craft bag
    • Access to more bank space
    • Access to more furnishing slots
    • Plus more

    No. You get plenty for your ESO plus. Having priority queue over people who have also spent money on this game, but no longer feel that throwing money at ZOS is deserved, is not an additional perk of plus.
