Did you know there was a Blizzard desktop app queue?

[rhorle]

I didn't.



At least I can manually start WoW and other games and log in even if servers are down.

[wowaccounttom]

which can be skipped...

[oplawlz]

I didn't.

Wait till the destiny 2 players get added to it, gonna be fun times!

[Tock20]

I think it might be more of a Battle.net login que.

[rhorle]

By going "offline" you can. Still weird for their launcher to have a queue.

well you can skip it altogether if you want to play wow, just launch the game directly instead of using the launcher

[Raetary]

yes.

known for years.

[oplawlz]

You can, but I don't think you'll install any of the updates, right? If there are any...

idk, booted up just fine for me with the "new features" prompt for the new patch

Yeah totally this queue that nobody ever sees is going to be out of control 4 months from now, they're definitely not going to be prepared for launch at all!

I mean sometimes I wonder if trolls like you even read the shit you write.

Manually starting it I could log in and didn't get a prompt for updates. Though when I went offline it updated the game through the launcher and everything else about the launcher was connected. The battle.net was just not logged in and couldn't access friends/chat.

Nothing new, really. It is on and off, has been for a while.

No it's really not weird for it to have a queue the only time the queue pops up is if a lot of people are trying to log in at once which really only happens on patch days or when the servers are knocked off line for some other reason.

Do you read the stuff others write? People in this very thread have seen a queue. I've heard about it before.

Yeah, I hear they're going to expand CRZ to the desktop launcher. Don't worry, they've got it under control!

trolls

I don't think it's going to be a big deal when it happens, but calling someone a troll because you don't agree with them is the height of forum stupidity.

I disagree, your post is the height of forum stupidity. Perhaps you've heard of exaggeration for effect? Saying "nobody ever sees the queue" does not necessarily mean that literally no person has ever seen the queue. If someone tells you that they are starving because they haven't eaten for 8 hours, do you correct them and say "that is the height of speaking stupidity, you are not literally starving." As for your silly shit CRZ comment, I was unaware that there are no ways to add capacity to a network service. Completely impossible unless you contrive some nonsense like CRZ.

Swing and a miss, buddy.

[Kokolums]

I did not!

All we can go by is history. They had long queues on a patch launch, and they've been doing that since 2004.

As for "no one ever sees the queue," you can call it an exaggeration. I call it "You trying to minimize the problems a lot of people had, including myself." But hey, you do you.

CRZ was a joke comment. Talk about swing and a miss, that one went so far over your head NASA is currently tracking its trajectory.

[Integry]

I played once queue simulator on android which was based on wow login queue...

A login queue for a game on patch day is to be expected. A login queue for a Company wide app shouldn't be impacted by one game having a patch. The battle.net app serves all of blizzard and all of their games. There will likely be some delay after a maintenance but ~38 min queue seems longer then it should be. If a non-game company wide social service can't handle the stress then there is potentially a problem when another blockbuster game is going to use it for social services (Destiny 2 on PC)

Yeah, I meant queues on the launcher app.

[Vorkreist]

It comes up whenever theres login server issues. Happens quite often on the hamster eu servers.
You should really curb your enthusiasm if you think this is a case of MASSIVE FLOOD OF PLAYERS taking the servers by surprise.
