"Attempt to Jump failed. You are already queued for that campaign"

Ratzkifal

It didn't even take 30 seconds for me to get annoyed at ZOS in this event. Using the ladders in Imperial City a lot gets prevented by an error message that says "You are already queued for that campaign". Can this bug be replicated? Yes! Use a ladder in Imperial City, go back down the ladder, then try to use the same or any other ladder.
Imagine using the wrong ladder because the quest pointers for the districts are still bugged and then needing to wait however many seconds the cooldown on it is until you are allowed to climb up that stupid other ladder. I get that this is probably in place to prevent the server from being overloaded with queue requests or something but Imperial City is designed around using the ladders frequently and more than once too.
Imagine you want to grab all the district quests and then go around and do them all in one go. Well, for that to work you need to use every district ladder to accept the quest. And what does that mean? That means you will have to wait each time you want to use another ladder! Or imagine you just killed a boss, then got killed by a ganker but your group is still alive and fighting the ganker. All you want to do is go down to bank your Telvars then go back up to join the fight. Guess what, now you have to wait.

Maybe it's not a bug, but it's stupid and should be changed because it's really frustrating to be told to wait when all you are trying to do is use a damn ladder.

Tagging @ZOS_Kevin because this isn't a new issue at all and communication of it doesn't seem to be working.

Just wait 10 or so seconds before trying to take a ladder again. I usually run to the merchant and crafting stations to check if I have anything to sell or decon, and of course I also visit the banker to deposit any TV, before taking another ladder. That's enough time to avoid triggering that message.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing for the past year or so. But I like to pick up every district quest in one go. That advise doesn't work if you still have to get into 4 other districts afterwards. It wouldn't be an issue if the quest givers were down in the sewers.

i thought that they had supposedly fixed this with one of the updates this year, im guessing because its a lot busier lol

outside of the event i have run into this a lot less than last year

Yeah, it's very infrequent on a normal night. But during the event it's pretty common.

That's not my experience with it but if you say so. Eitherway, it's back now and it's annoying.

How often do you go to the Imperial City to run the six district dailies, outside of this event?

I generally run them every two or three days, sometimes every day, and have very seldom run into this message when there's no PvP event going on.

That's on both PC NA and PC EU.

If it matters, I live in the continental USA. What country are you playing from?

DarcyMardin

That always happens to me during this event.

I generally run them every two or three days, sometimes every day, and have very seldom run into this message when there's no PvP event going on.

I'm playing in EU and I rarely go into Imperial City nowadays so I easily could have missed this. But I pretty much encountered this every single time I went there. The last time was during the Zenithar event because people kept killing me on my way to the vaults and because the districts were taken I would keep being sent down into the sewers - so on the "wrong side" of the ladder.

Okay, so it was during an event where there was an increase in players in the Imperial City due to the keys we were getting, even if it wasn't a PvP event per se.

Anyway, I always pick up and complete the quests in each district before I move on to the next district, so I don't go rapidly up and down the ladders to all six districts before actually starting on the quests the way a lot of players like to do, hence I'm already less likely to run into this message than those players.

But I do tend to get killed by other players at least once when I'm doing the dailies outside of the event, so I do end up going down one ladder after being killed and then up another ladder to the district I was trying to complete, and I rarely get this message in those cases unless the player population is higher than usual due to an event.

Yes I noticed that it’s worse than ever before. I was actually getting failures to open the trap door to get back to the base, and I’ve never seen that in all my years playing in Imperial City.

I guess it’s a byproduct of downgrading to the current new (budget?) server. ZOS was wise to announce that we would not see performance increases on our end.

I went there after the event and it was never capped at the time I went in there. It's hasn't really brought that much activity to IC anyway. I really doubt that could have been it, but I also have no clue what it could be. All I am seeing is that it has been happening regardless of activity, even in the middle of the night and it has never not happened to me.

I think it's traffic related.

I didn't hit it once during the afternoon but, this evening I hit it on multiple ladders.

While I don't buy that it's traffic related, it's interesting that this can not happen at first and then happen to the same person later. As I said, I encountered this issue when the servers weren't full yet and even outside of events, so unless it's about the global server traffic and not strictly the PvP server, I doubt it has anything to do with it.

ZOS will not put a board with all the quests on it in the base, requiring us to go to each zone. Then they penalize us for going to each zone!

That gets really annoying, especially since we are gank targets when we finally do get all the quests, and usually face the same problems getting back to our quests.

The_Boggart

There wouldn't be so much crowding if they stopped ganking, let the PvE people do the quest and leave it took me 30 min to do a 5 min quest and as my bank was empty they got little loot

Another wonderful "feature" of the ladder delay. But plenty will just say "skip the event" not giving any thought that the ticket rewards are independent of the event.

EdmondDontes

Yep, another bug ZOS hasn't fixed for years. This was the first thing I noticed in IC after the event started. I rarely had the issue before the event started, but it's a horrible problem again now that the event is running.

If you do a forum search you will see this same issue being reported three years ago.

remosito

assumed it was just bad feedback when section above is over player limit..

zos was too cheap to spin up 3 campaigns.. so they had to overcrowd the existing two...
