    First time ever that I'm in an actual queue in this game. Figures the queue implementation is total crap, since it apparently has never been actually tested. Aside from the apparent discrepancies in estimated queueing time, please do at least the following:

    1) Allow changing the realm between EU and US. Now when I try to "leave the queue", it just pops it up again. Lame.
    2) If a player gets disconnected from the game for any reason, including doing it themselves, allow a grace period of a few minutes for relogging so that they aren't dumped at the end of the queue.
    3) Give a running position number in the queue instead of just the unhelpful time "estimate" that apparently is wildly off to begin with.

    Sorry if these have been discussed/suggested before, but I'm not about to read the whole thread to find out. Just leaving this here and then going to play something else.

    They saw this coming, yet they make the game 50% off sale on Steam few days ago and it was one of the top sellers.

    This is awful! Yesterday i had to wait 12 min to log in and today 18 min! I am playing ESO since 4 years, but im not going to waste my time in such stupidity. They are plenty of games to choose witohut to wait 18 min to start playing!!

    I understand, that there are some technical reasons to do so, but for the love of Mara I can't log into the game for more than 20 minutes now! That's unacceptable!

    Have been online for a while, then game kicks me out of the server when I'm switching characters, BOOM 18 minutes! I really want to believe that you are working on your servers(which was said in the same post that also said you could log in without queue if you got disconnected) but to me it just seems like a lame excuse to make it past the event. I wouldn't be surprised if the same broken queue system would be brought back on next events as well.

    It could be that something's wrong with your queue/connection, I had the same problem (because I had vpn on to get a better performance from the game) and waited for an hour the day before, then it worked when I closed the vpn.

    I feel like I might of been lucky with my queue. I got put in a 12 minute queue, and it was actually about 12 minutes.

    I'd be pretty annoyed too if I had to wait for an hour like some have reported. I really do hope this is a very short term solution, ZOS must treat the server upgrade with urgency. If they do not they may find their recent increase in players might just dwindle again.

    Hope this fixed before Thursday else it'll be queue to log in and queue again to enter Cyrodil. I can't see them putting extra access on for the PVP week in the current situation

    I'm in a 18 minute queue at the moment, which in itself is ridiculous. I mean its not like server performance has actually improved as opposed to the last couple of weeks when we didn't have a queue yet. Absolutely futile.

    Started the game, login for 18 minutes. ok ... then queue gets stuck at 13:44 for about 20 minutes. Left queue, and queued another time, again for 18 min. then finally I'm in the game, took about 45 min overall.. sigh .. I just hope the updated/additional servers will improve the current situation in the next few weeks. (At least this was announced in the Bethesda German Twitch stream earlier today).

    Like seriously Zenimax you can not use population issues as an excuse until all the bots have been purged from the servers!

    Honestly, these issues have persisted way too long for me to beleive they're working on them. Acknowledging the abysmal service the EU population has had to experience is one thing, but to act on it is an entirely different matter. I have no hope whatsoever that they'll fix these issues. If they were 'fixable', they would have been fixed long time ago as expanding server infrastructure is no rocket science nor does it take days/weeks/months.

    19 minute queue for a game that I pay a subscription to play PLUS hefty price tag on the chapters...

    This is absolutely disgraceful imo and I'm wavering over my continued support for the game. It's a very sad state of affairs... I've played regularly since beta with an unbroken subscription. Over the years the explanation for the subs cost have shifted, from being necessary to ensure expansions to the current situation.

    Zos. I ask you in all sincerity, how do you expect to retain customers with things as they are?

    I'm in a 19 minute queue for EU now.
    Tried leaving it to log in to NA instead. It won't let me leave or change servers, now. The "leave queue" button doesn't work at all. I'm playing on the PC though Steam.

    When they announced that they'd be doing this, I said to myself that this would make people leave the game. I'm still not going to stop playing because I know they'll fix it eventually, but I'll bet it'll make some people quit for good.

    Don't worry, I'm sure the queues will work just fine. They probably used the fully robust group finder software to "find" a server for you.

    Hah well said. What's killing me is the Login Queue is failing!!! 3rd attempt, 15 min... froze at 9m 57sec. 20 min.... froze at 13m 16sec and booted me to a help web page. Now frozen at 11min 25 sec of 21m 30sec queue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Same here. Every 5 minutes or so it crashes and says login failed. You end up having to task manager close and restart the game.
