How long queue times

On Wednesday afternoon, when many players were likely to be at school or working, queues were still prevalent and quite long on many servers. How do I know this? They are performing a calculation based upon the number of people logged into the servers and the number of slots opening as players log off or get disconnected.

That gives a fair estimate, but your actual wait time may vary. New World has its own official server status page , but it only provides the basic information of whether a server is up or down.

Hopefully, like most launches, these issue will abate over time. One day, a gaming company will solve the launch day login queue issue. Perhaps… but not today.

Of course, such viral success does not come without a cost. MMO launches are almost universally overwhelmed by player totals at launch, and New World is no different.

Amazon's choice to deal with this issue is familiar -- it's implemented a queue to start playing. Queue times for capped New World servers are growing extraordinarily long as players try and join servers with their friends, Twitch streamers, or other popular online gaming communities. The length of certain queues for more popular New World servers extends over 10, players , with one server's total number of players in queue sitting just below 25, Another server sits at 8, players in queue, but due to players not dropping its estimated wait time stretches over hours.

The issue is that, for the time being, Amazon has taken a hard stance regarding server population caps in New World. No server will have more than 2, players, at least until Amazon has completed "further testing" tied to raising the server cap. That likely means Amazon is waiting to see how its servers perform as players spread out in New World 's open world. Yet a lot of players have recently reported that queue time for League of Legends have been exceptionally long.

Riot Games has not made an official statement about the issue. If this keeps happening, the developers will have to take a look into this. Here are a few reasons why not enough people are in queue to match with you: High MMR Time: too early, too late, etc. Unpopular game mod: flex, event modes Popular lane role There are fewer people with high MMR, which is why high ranked queue usually takes longer and also the reason a lot of League of Legends streamers play on smurfs.
