Ladies, any feedback on this problem?

Lmao What are you expecting them to shoot you through the queue to the top because you cried? How about playing on a different server.

If you feel like a lady that's good for you I guess, go fetch some new dresses and stop trolling. No one asked you anything in this thread.

That insult made absolutely no sense at all.

Much more sense than yours about crying or how my char is worthless since your solution is to just trash it and move to another server. If by 'server' you actually mean 'campaign' that only means you haven't actually read my post and/or don't comprehend the problem. Also, I asked ladies about the feedback for problem and you replied, so...

You can queue for one server while playing in another.

Yes, that's correct.

You can be playing in Haderus while still queuing for Thornblade.

Enjoy.

It's almost a month now without ZOS response on this game-breaking issue! Is there anybody out there?

If it's been a month, surely you can change your guest campaign now? I agree that ZOS need to address the crashing issues, but there's nothing they can do about which campaigns are the most popular. Although to avoid stagnation, they could do a full campaign reset some time, meaning people would need to reallocate their Home and Guest, and that may spread people out a bit more.

You are missing the point, like many others that replied here. This issue has nothing to do with balancing which campaigns are popular or not, but player ability to actually join ANY campaign in such situation, due to flaw in campaign system, and/or be awarded for campaign effort (which guest campaign don't provide).

Also, don't you find it [snip] that you have to spend your AP in order to change campaign not because you want so, but because game don't allow you to enter one you have already chosen and played in with your friends, just minutes ago?

So, you are forced to spend AP to enter different campaign, most likely to one with little or no pvp at all, and on top of it you are entering sandbox campaign where you dont work toward your ranking/rewards at all. Note: please leave out comments how they are crap anyway since quality of rewards is not related to topic.

What do you think how influx of new players from B2P/console will impact this issue? It can only amplify it and that will not be good for anyone.

Your OP implied that your primary complaint was the length of the queue and the fact that you were locked out of changing it. You can still enter any campaign if you have friends in it (and it's not full) using Travel to Player. You also do get rewarded for effort in any and all campaigns, you just don't get progression on the Emperor leaderboard anywhere except your Home campaign. Which makes sense, since your Home campaign is likely to be where you do the most PvP.

I don't understand why you seem forced to spend AP to enter a campaign with no PvP. If you want to go to that campaign, travel to a friend that is already in it, or set it as your Guest. There's no AP cost for changing the Guest campaign. That would also be my recommendation for choosing a Guest campaign; set it as one that never fills up, and then you can always enter it. If you find out later that there's good PvP going on in a campaign that is not your Home or Guest, then you can travel to a player who is in it. All I would say in this regard as something for ZOS to look at is that you should be added to the queue for that campaign if you try to travel and it's full.

Yes, there will definitely be an impact from the B2P crowd. At that time I think ZOS need to do a campaign reset to redistribute the population.

My primary complaint is that players can't enter ANY campaign in given situation, and I'm not speaking solely from my POV but looking at system in general and what can/will happen if player base increase under current limitations and what is already happening from time to time with overall low pvp population we have now.

You mention use of 'Travel-to-Player' option but that is not official way to enter Cyrodiil through Alliance War UI, and as you already stated requires: a) to have a friend in that campaign (not very likely since your friends will be in home campaign), or b) to play lottery with clicking on players in trade guilds, c) to not be pop locked (which brings us back to starting point).

Point is that we need real solution to the problem and not workaround that may or may not work at that moment, and we need it asap, not when problem amplify with influx of new players, mainly because in past year we could clearly see that Zenimax neither: a) timely handle urgent problems and b) actually fix problem when they state its fixed.

If this problem start to be addressed when servers are already crowded, frustration on player base will be huge and especially on new console players that don't have patience to keep up with such crap because most of them have (right) approach "I payed for service, I want service" and they just payed for that service.

P.S.
What you say is fine for casual players that just want to jump in Cyro for hour or two of action, but overall I can't agree with "you just don't get progression on the Emperor leaderboard" when playing guest campaign, because that is the whole point of Cyrodiil... to become emperor and loot the spoils when war (campaign) is over.

How would a core PVE player felt if he gets to the entrance of Trial and message like "Sorry, trial is full, we will put you in a sandbox mode dungeon where there will be not much mobs and bosses (players) in it, there will be no loots except some crawlers in jars, no leaderboards, but feel free to explore and enjoy the scenery" pops up?
