Ok never mind I’ll go play something else. I am sure this is the response many players say to themselves when seeing such a long queue day after day. It’s demoralizing, its a waste of time and more importantly, it shows you, AGS that you simply do not care.
It’s cool though cause for every real player who says they’ll go play something else 10 more bots join the queues. Ah well guess i’ll finally go boot up The Quarry and give that a go.
With FFXIV i learned to deal with queue time… (same shit with each expansion, dunno for the last one also)
First, launch FFXIV
Second launch anything else while music in FFXIV can be heared, “oh, music change, time to swap” …
For FFXIV it was because SE mess all their release and last 2 weeks 3 maybe (time the “hype release” fade enough)…
For LA it is because cheaters making the game each day more unfair, and the economy each day more destroyed…
I think patience is easier on one side than another
The issue I have though is Lost Ark uses EAC and alot of the games I play also use EAC and and games will fail to launch if EAC is already running so thats another thing that really chaps my ass about the queue.
When I was stuck in queues for FF14 I would simply launch something else and play that. EAC makes that a bit more difficult in my choice of games
Needs both game to have same EAC version (yes, games are rarely uptodate :’) and i speak version, not settings)
But yep, this is also a problem. For my example, it was FFXIV + D3 and FFXIV + POE. so not any EAC ^^’
What about a good binding of isaac ? 
remember to buy the latest skin pack ^_____^
definitely worth helping indie devs
I played the heck out of Binding of Isaac I cant play it anymore tbh lol. Chivalry 2 just released on Steam may give that a go for awhile since I loved the first one.

Agreed, its getting pretty ridiculous.
I just received the “50 hours played” achievement while Steam says I’m upwards of 85 hours in-game; That’s a lot of waiting in queues… 
We all collectively roll our eyes when players come on here and pronounce to the world that “they’re done with this game and all of AGS’s nonsense!” yet its getting harder and harder not to blame AGS & Smilegate for the inaction that is genuinely and actively preventing people from playing their game.
I’m a new player that’s genuinely getting hooked on the story; I want to get the remaining arks. I want to know what happens to Armen. I want to know if there are any more Delain in the world. I want to know what happens to Kharmine after he finishes hoovering up other demon commanders. I just reached the icebreaker ship and started to head north. I really, really, really don’t want to drop this game but the ques are about to make that decision for me…
For the record, I’m not adverse to the p2w reputation this game has received either; Quite to opposite actually, I’ve been chomping at the bit to spend some money. Get some skins, some honing mats and a chrystaline aura… nothing too crazy. I’ve decided to hold off until the future of the game is more certain because it doesn’t feel good spending money on a game that im not even sure ill be able to login next time I want to play. I know one player saying that is a drop in the bucket but I cant be the only one that feels this way.

Feels sad man; Cheers fam.
The story is great and I am glad you like the game alot so far. It’s sad that your experience is so hindered like this and AGS just don’t care enough to value you as a customer or as a player. It’s really unacceptable that, for my server for instance I have to wait every day anywhere between an hour to 2 and a half hours just to actually play the game.
Thanks boss,
I appreciate the words of encouragement from a veteran!
I know they’re hesitant to address the botting issue because it can/will have real impact on the top 10% of the player base who use them to overcome the grind but failing to address the issue prevent new players from accessing the other 90% of the game that doesn’t rely on an army of bots to experience; This is where I’m at currently. lol
Id be willing to overlook the ant-trail of bots if I could actually get into the game haha
Thankyou so much; I really appreciate the support!
When you finally make it through the queue.
I actually just sit in the queue while playing another game.
As it is quite annoying… and should be resolved in the slightest already… It’s a meh for me.
no one is playing lost ark this morning with these horrendous ques lol
Crazy thing for me is, while I see a lot of posts about long queue times, here in south America, all servers are always in a “good” status in the login screen, and it feels very empty as just yesterday I couldn’t do the 1302 chaos gate because there wasn’t enough people. I’ve basically given up on co-op content because I simply can’t find the players sometimes. Especially in low level content.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions about the current new player experience.
