My queue time went up to an hour, but I got in after 30 minutes, so I'm not quite sure if the queue timer is correct, tbh
Really wish they had an easy way to switch servers on the fly. They've already got the whole one unique name per region down, which should make things pretty painless.
I'm already a few hours in and redeemed my weapon skin on my main on Mushin. I ain't going anywhere...
So anyone happen to know if you get kicked off if you're afk for too long, or are we gonna have another situation like FF14 launch where everyone stays logged in 24/7?
At position 1491 myself and it's actually going up even with a master's pack, my heart goes out to anyone trying to get in without premium.

As someone that has played almost all MMO's out there, and looking for something new that I might find fun for a bit, can anyone tell me if this is just another quest hub, "theme park" mmo? I loved the combat in TERA but found the game at launch to be thin and generic. If the combat is awesome, and it is better than "go to quest hub A, get 10 quests to kill X 10 times, then go to quest hub B, etc, etc" I would love to know!

Was gone for around an hour, came back and my queue time jumped to 99 minutes. Broke down and upgraded to Disciple....
Do I have to do anything special to get the premium membership benefits or is it applied automatically?

I understand that they want to sell premium, but these endless queue times are ridiculous. I am queuing for 2 hours now after the cutscene bug got me and it's still wildly going around between 30 and 90 minutes.
edit: I am not even in the ridiculous queue of Mushin, I am in Windrest, EU.

So pretty much the Mushin queue boss too op
I believe you need to apply it yo your account, unless it has changed since before headstart.
Are you talking about the position number or the time? The number is not your position, but telling you how many other people are waiting too. I have no idea why it is like that, but that is the case.

Welcome to launch day of... any MMO. I'm sure it isn't any fun being in queue. But, going in with your expectations to be anything but this...?
You'll want to make sure it's applied by going to your NCSOFT account page > apply a code > blade and soul tab under unused codes and click apply code if you have one listed there.
Also once you have premium activated there is an hourglass in the upper right hand corner on character select that you can click to see how much longer your current membership lasts.
Oh, duh, I need to read better. Was wondering if they were just being kind to dc'd people or something.

In my experience in MMO launches, there isn't usually one single server that over half the entire player base selects over all others, haha.
Any advice on how to break the limit on my level 6 Hongmoon weapon? It's telling me I need to get something from the Everdust Stalker Jiangshi Wheel of Fate, and I've spun numerous times, and not sure what I'm looking out for. I have a bunch of sealed boxes; accidentally opened a couple and got unrelated things. I hope I didn't waste my two special Master's Pack keys... :S

Every big MMO release in the US has been this way. All of the big guilds coordinate and pile into 1-3 servers. It's even worse for PvP centric games as all of the prime guilds want to be on the main server. It'll never change.
Maybe. But what kind of queue fluctuates that much? It isn't even going up and down with the premium queues. One would think when queuing up one would move forward in the queue in some way.

Damn, my client encountered an error and closed out.
On the brightside I beat the character creator boss for Dragon's Dogma for my pawn and I.

The number going up doesn't represent your place in line, but how many people are in line.
The estimate wait time should show me how long I wait, not how long the last wait, or should it not? It also has 20 minute gap jumps occasionally. I don't trust it, is what I'm saying.
You want to be looking for your weapon type, so you either need to open the weapon box with a regular key and hope you get the right kind, or use a brilliant key to automatically get the correct weapon. A third option in this case is to just buy it off the market board or trade someone else since the weapon is boe. Since that isn't an option later on I would save your brilliant keys and just try to buy/trade it.

It's terrible design but I've rarely seen an actual logical and working queue in an MMO. Queue should be:
-People in Queue
-Your Position in Queue
-Estimated wait time
... and you should be able to see the progress toward getting to your position in queue as you wait other than a randomly fluctuating wait time.

This is why all MMOs need to move to the megaserver network design
I thought you were talking about the X members in queue not the estimated time. That should show your time, but it is just an estimate and on servers getting slammed it is probably highly inaccurate. That is probably why you see it jumping around, though mine has consistently been going down but not necessarily at the rate it shows (EX: 20 left doesn't mean 20 minutes).

What server are aussies picking? Getting the same ping for US and EU but I'm guessing US.
Could be worse at least, was it FF14 or Tera where the queue was just a chance at logging in and if the server filled back up after your queue popped but before you got in you would just be kicked back to the start?

It was FFXIV at launch because they didn't implement a queue system at launch. There was no queue, you just spammed login until it let you in if you were lucky and hit the button right when a spot opened up.
Yeah.
I had a macro programmed in my G13 which spammed the login for me during that launch.

Was going to hop into Discord but the link needs to be updated. It expired. 
Yeah, FFXIV. I like that when they added the queue and you would login and it would say position 100 or whatever, if you exited and relogged it would just let you right in most of the time. lol

Thank you! How do I access the market board, before I try figuring it out for myself?
Sigh, I had forgotten to apply the code and waited for several hours
Got in Windrest pretty much immediately after I applied it.Ah well, better late than never, plus I was fully expecting the usual MMO-launch jank

I applied the Pack code in my account settings. Does that mean my Premium is active or do you have to do that in the actual game?
My queue time keeps on getting longer so how did all these other Premium members apply it to their account?

That means its applied. Took me about an hour to get back in after I crashed.
