Why am I being placed in a queue on log in?

Jensmom

Lately (this past week) when I log in to game I am placed in a queue which will be "about 1 second". I then have to leave the queue and relog to log in. WHY? This is unacceptable. The only time in the past days it didn't happen I got booted from the game - with one of those lovely "tell us what happened" things. THEN I was placed in queue when I tried to get in again. I pay for this game. I have paid since BETA!

Huh. I haven't seen this at all, either on PC NA or EU. PC NA I'm logging in every morning off-peak; in EU that's on-peak of course - logging in from the US southwest.

Got the same on PS4

It's happened to me a few times recently, exact symptoms as the OP described.

Happening to lots of folks. Back out of that screen and try re-entering. At least for me, I usually get in straight away on that second try.

Happened to me twice over the weekend.

I have seen this a few times as well. 1 second wait, and nothing happens. I just close out now and log back in when I see it. There is no longer a queue and I can log in right away as expected.

Uh...it takes all of a few second to back out of the queue and log back in. Saying it's unacceptable is a pretty big stretch. If it was an actual queue you're waiting in then yeah, but everyone having this issue has only had to exit the queue and then relog and they get in immediately. There are already a few threads on the matter where people have said this. I honestly feel sometimes like people don't bother to look through the first page or two before posting things that are already being discussed.

A better use of time would be to submit big reports. Even then this is a known issue that pops up every now and then. The fact that it seems to be affecting all platforms at this point might mean ZOS should look into it, but honestly getting booted is probably the bigger issue.
