Not to mention triple locks on every campaign and insane queuing times

WOW IM SHOCKED!!

Give it some time and hopefully it's not consistently like that. It might be like a website...the first time you hit a page (especially ASP WebForms), it has to JIT and once it becomes more active it'll take less time per load.

You've known about the event for weeks, you could have pre-done the daily quests and just hand them in each day

Yeah, cuz the only reason there is the event is to get the daily coffer... What about the double telvar, etc...

I've been griefed, ganked, and queued, but I'm having fun.

It's a drag having to sit here watching this queue when I want to go grab another cup of coffee, but even though the number looks big, it's dropping quickly enough that if I leave it for a couple of minutes it will probably pop.

You might wanna open a few more campaigns...
It's only thursday afternoon, not even primetime or weekend yet.

First day of IC events are always the same, because everyone go for tickets at the same time. Tomorrow will be better (not great, not terrible ;D)

SeaGtGruff

I took a risk to grab my coffee and take a bio break, and I'm still queued, so that's good I guess. And my position's dropped by leaps and bounds, so hopefully it won't be much longer.

My biggest consolation to all the grief I'm having dished out on me is that the gankers are getting hardly any TV from me.

Yes, every event tend to be very crowded at first day. Same with the new dungeons, lots of issues the first day.
Next day they was fine.

As I have stored some quests I just wait a bit and hand in one today. Tomorrow it begin.

EU, late afternnon, work for most people finished 1 hour ago.

1st day of event in addition.
Better try in 4-6 hours or get up early - the early bird catches the worm.

It doesn't help when you queue for all of them.

Why do you never learn ZOS? The PvP events always need more servers than you allocate. Every. Single. Time. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_SarahHecker @ZOS_JessicaFolsom this is the state of PC EU at 17:30 BST:

I blame you

gatekeeper13

Queued for IC no-CP, got 187 position, waited for about 30+ min, did quest, got trash loot.

Sorry, ZOS but I aint wasting more time than 1 daily quest for your "event". Endless farming with atrocious drop rates and insane waiting times is not interesting at all.

How about you queue in only 1 IC campaign and leave some slots for other people too?

rbullis

There is nothing like waiting in a queue for about 20 minutes for IC and once you are able to enter you crash to desktop. Log back into the game to only have to re-queue. Priceless!!!

I've gotten at least 3 or 4 style pages. I'm doing each of the IC daily jobs; I'm on my last one now. I may come back on another character, although it would be in a different alliance.

In addition to getting melted numerous times by enemy players, I've run into a few players who were obviously there to do the dailies like me, so I broke off my attacks and left them alone once I realized they weren't able to insta-melt me.

Queueing for multiple campaigns has no effect on anyone else :shrug: Not like I can join them all.

As it happens I got into one, handed in my predone daily quest and left again, so that I wasn't taking up a slot someone else can use as I have no intention of playing in IC during the event (even though it is my favourite PvP zone) as it will be a laggy zerg fest with a side of gank.

Edit: I also relogged to another toon so all those queue slots will have cleared.

You cant join them all, that's for sure, but if everyone started to queue in every campaign....

Load screens, broken dungeon queue's, poorly planned events, there is nothing new here.

The forced PvP crap will always be one of the worst ways to introduce PvP incentive into the game. That alongside the mobfest that is Cyrodiil and IC just further demotivates anyone from actually wanting to do the content. After all what exactly is fun about either being the group with 10-20 people running around nuking 1-2 player groups or being the 1-2 players getting nuked.

Or the old favorite of the 6 year PvP veteran who only plays PvP running around 2 shotting every PvE player that's forced into the event zone because the dungeon queue is broken.

Best of luck to everyone once more this year!
