After playing SWTOR I'm basically spoiled now about quests. Text over and over doesn't do it for me if you want to tell an important story. There was a neat cinematic where they showed stuff coming through a portal, but other than that? Meh.

World of Dailies is still grindy.

Aren't they really dialing back the dailies for the next expansion?

I'm getting weird performance issues that I never really had. Boss pull in a raid slows my machine to a crawl at first.

I'm tempted to try the new FF (my brain refuses to remember the specific number or roman numerals) since I hear that's great, but I've got my MMO-ish daily grind going on in Destiny.

I'd play it with a buddy but he's on a legacy server and I don't think I can get on it as a new player.

If you do play FFXIV, it's best if you can join an established group. The dungeons get a little more difficult around the lvl 30+ area, so pugs might get more annoying at that point. It also really helps if you have a group of people that are willing to help you during the various story line dungeon cock-blocks.

Plus, you can level a whole lot faster and make up some of the story line level gaps easier if you can just go jump in a dungeon.  This might also depend on your tolerance of pugs, because if you're willing to do the low level duty roulette you can level rather fast.

Just a bit of a warning, it didn't really catch on for me until the dungeons came into play.  The story quest can be a bit rough in parts and the lower level combat mechanics aren't fantastic.  However, it's gotten me to sub and stay subbed, which is a credit to the game.

Long que times, lag and server crashes.  It's like the launch for Arche Age all over again.  I wonder if idling at the character select screen will work to keep you logged in to WoW like it did with AA? awesome, for real

I don't remember the queues being this bad for MoP. I've seen people reporting 4 hour queues. My wait was only about 20 minutes.

As a working man it's basically impossible to play when I have time. So even though I'd like to buy this, I won't.

They put a lot more hype into this one than MoP. I don't remember TV commercials everywhere, plus the things like the Times Square ad.

I play on Tichondrious (one of the original 10  (i think) servers).  I had a roughly hour long queue to get in on Wednesday night.  Got home after work this morning (2 am ish friday morning), ~3300 person queue, Estimated time calculator said approx 3 hours, give or take.

So they were being DDOSed and it looks like they didn't plan for as many people to come back as have done so, turning reports into a clusterfuck.

Daughter was bopping around just fine wherever she was, but she also said it was crashing often on her since she'd gotten home from school.

I know I said I probably wouldn't play this but like a bad ex-boyfriend, WoW invades my thoughts. "Please come back, it'll be different this time, I promise."

Played on Illidan yesterday. Logged in about 6am pacific to a few hundred person queue, got in after about 20 minutes. My friend tried logging in about 2pm and was number 5000something in the queue. (After hours in the queue, he gave up and went to bed - never did play).

I was amazed at the bottleneck quests - this is 4th expansion, don't they know not to do this? Especially for phased crap. Why make it so linear to begin with?

Several beginning quests were not working as intended. In order to complete them, it was necessary to join a group and aoe randomly hoping to tag mobs before the other hundreds/thousands of people wanting to. Tower of Gormaul took me a good 2 hours because the phasing was fucked up - couldn't see the mobs, then they'd evade when I did see them. "These Colors Don't Run" was impossible. Finally a friend on a low pop server invited me, so I could actually do the quest.

Worst launch I've seen yet for Blizzard. It's as though they've never done this before.

I was glad I at least was able to have my barn set to "Milk" my cows that I had "invited to come to my barn" before garrisons totally crapped themselves so in theory baring roll back should at least have a fair amount of work orders done when I get home as well as a bunch of burnished leather.

The 7 free days a few weeks back was the best thing they could have given me. It completely nipped any desire I might have to play this game right in the bud.

Wait, what? Garrisons can have farms and cows that get milked?

(One of these days, I'll read about expansions just like I'll read patch notes before playing. Maybe.)

Regarding the queues, something to bear in mind is that there have been a ton of server merges connected realms over the past couple years. So realms like mine, where I have never before seen a login queue, had a queue last night. Not a huge queue, but nonetheless.

So far I've got my newb Garrison filled out with a Barracks and the Engineering building, I've accumulated 4 followers, and kicked off a couple work orders.

I am making it a point to travel around on one of my Proto-Drakes, since they are ground mounts now.

Hunters got a bunch of stuff rearranged or taken away, but my Siege geared hunter plowed through the opening sequence and the portion of Frostfire Ridge that I've done so far. It's too easy. I target things and they die. I've never seen leveling mobs just keel over like this. It's a little insulting.

I disagree. Hunters lost a lot of bullshit fiddling that made them less enjoyable to play and only marginally added to their DPS. They still have their utility skills and the only real losses are Volley -which went away ages ago- snake trap (which was meh) and Aspects. 

They could never figure out wtf to do with Aspects anyway. Fox was great, but then hunters got the ability to fire on the move and it was pointless.  Monkey was good but once Hunters became 100% ranged instead of being based off of Rexar (who is melee in WC3) it was useless. So you were in Hawk all the time except when doing overland travel, so why have an aura for it?  It's a fiddly button push when you die. Fuck it.

All the rest is there, just baked-in to abilities or limited to a specific spec to reduce cooldown monitoring.  I'm good with it as the changes made my hunter a lot more fun to play instead of micromanaging crap. The only other class that had to do as much juggling was rogues and they seem to still be at that level.

If your pet is dying quick, look at the talents you've got and what type you made him.  You want Ferocity or Tenacity for soloing. The Cunning pets are worthless.   I also use more than 3 buttons as BM.

Kill Command, Cobra Shot, Arcane Shot, Your 2 talent DPS cds and traps. Also multi-shot on anything more than 2 mobs.  That's just off the top of my head.

So could it be that inactive server population is way beyond server capacity on old servers, and as a result they can't support an active player base? Ie. these queues aren't going away until enough people give up in frustration.
