Kingdom Quests.... IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN!!!

[Gohan99]

Fix this issue ASAP, it's worse than it was in closed beta! This is Tuesday mid day, it shouldn't be impossible to get into the first KQ (yeah i tried all 6 times) It always fills up 0-15 in half a second. I ALWAYS CLICK PARTICIPATE BEFORE ANYONE JOINS IN AND I STILL DONT GET IN.


 


 


How could you guys delay the OB release without fixing this BULL**** issue.

[Oakin]

They had so much to do, give them a break and wait a while

[bigmacdaddy120]

Yeah i feel ya man... Yesterday i missed 15 kq's in a row.... I was hella mad.... BTW im LaserSoft120

[TestSubject]

...hmm....


Every time, I have gotten into one of them. Not always the first one, but always at least one.

[TastyTapioca]

Look, Kings Quest is the least of their problems. Play balance and restructuring the quests, the monsters, the items, and so on is a lot more important than one's slow inability to get into a KQ.




REMEMBER.. you are ONE PERSON competing for a *15* person slot max KQ.. and there are 100s of others playing and probably trying to join that one. Do the math..

[Sirril]

I hope that Fiesta does not have its own version of the 'autoclick' illegally developed (like in Maplestory) for the KQ's.


But what'd you expect from the RECENT open beta,seriously? A quiet surge of people? Until the initial interest in the OB dies down,expect a lot of hassle for KQ'ing I'm afraid.

[twilightcho]

i've gotten into a KQ every time i tried... you have to just be a quick clicker (^.^)

Lol yeah and everyone else who doesnt get in is just as pissed off as i am. This game isn't supposed to give all the benefits to those who have the fastest internet connection.... Or is it? According to you it is.... hmmm.

[TastyTapioca]

No, I can't really claim what it is. Sometimes I've gotten in. Other times I've missed all 5 KQ attempts for the 2 hour duration. I know the frustrations. All I can say is that it revolves around the number of people all trying at the same time, how it figures out who gets in at what time, I am not certain of.


I found this especially annoying on the Pirates KQ.

[KojiHarmony]

Someone else around here made up a really great idea. They should get a queue system where people get in line to kq, and if someone doesnt respond after like 20 seconds they automatically get kicked off the line.

[TastyTapioca]

Well yes, but think about it...


"if someone doesn't respond after like 20 seconds they automatically get kicked off the line"


Considering the KQs fill up in under those 20 seconds, it defeats the idea. Good idea, just wouldn't work because of that. /sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif

[Baxel]

dude, gohan.. chill out, you won't always get in, you gotta be fast and whatever. their system for kq is as good as it needs to be, and it's hard to get in because it's so popular. they aren't going to change it in any way just so you can get on, or whoever else wants to get on gets on... just keep trying.

[moxieman22]

the thing is, it isn't so bad the first time you don't get in, but KQ was designed to help characters level up (not to mention they're just plain fun. It's too bad the GMs can't have more lower level KQs (like more sections of slime kingdom-cyclone hill) for a while while everyone's still lower level. I've only been able to play it once out of the five times i've tried :o(

[Ghostdogg]

In a rush to get a game to OB which leads to an open cash shop, you will make mistakes, it happens with these types of games all the time.


If you want a game that actually cares about their customer, you need to pay monthly for it. Money talks and BS walks. If they truely cared about fairness or your satisfaction they would have fixed KQ before OB, it was delayed long enough for that to happen......


 


dogg~

Who cares if it would get filled up or not? At least your place would be certain in line. Would you rather wait an hour in line for something thats certain or what 2 hours and battle for a spot with 100 other people? Didnt think so.

[Shokaah]

Good idea Koji.


Otherwise they could just create more KQ's. Every 2 minutes without dowtime.With a 2 hour cooldown time, meaning that one player can only do one KQ within 2 hours. This solution would make 900 players able to go in KQ every 2 hours (instead of 75). Not that stupid, and not that hard to make.

[megaandy80]

i like get in evey time i try. just oay attention and when u can participate click it fast

[biggles]

stop saying its fast click cuz that aint true there are like 40-50 ppl around the chief for KQ and its always 9/15 or more of the SAME ppl that get in every time they should make it so u get in and then u cant get in for like a couple more hours to let different ppl get in...

[krazyboi]

sometimes if u stay on fiesta for a long time the reaction times get slower so sometimes itll go faster if u relog.


u can tell of it gets slower wen it says that there r too many participants or they cant find the kq after 20 sec of cliking participate


ps:u dont hav to b at the person. u can get in from anywhere. just clik the*sand timer next to the map*

[Drusciliana]

I have heard from numerous sources that there are "tricks" to
getting in them, but no one will divulge what that are. I don't follow
rumor, but like biggles, I DO see the same people in them all the time.
Is it internet connection? I don't think so, I'm on a 15Mbps FIOS line.
Is it descriptor connect time? I don't know, too lazy to check. But it
is indeed frustrating. There could be an auto-logging program like they
have in other games, I don't know. I like the idea of constantly
running KQ's with lockout timers. But no one really listens to my
ideas...


Just one girl's opinions,


Dru

[Trebori]

Something needs to be done. I am 0 for 45 on trying to get in. I am to the point where this is game breaking for me and*I will simply move onto another game. It is a OK game , but it isn't all that.


Lockout timers, more KQ's, something needs to be done NOW!

[Deedolith]

What about allowing anyone (in the required lvl range) to register, then at the end of the register time frame, the server pickup 15 ppl not already doing KQ ?

[silverequiem]

yea u just have to click right when it open and not have any lag, cuz if ur delayed u wont get in, i get into 1 every time, its not like its hard haha, though there should be a few more king slime quests since there is a lot more now than in CB2, cuz even then the KQ's filled up fast and were instantly filled also so.

[twilightcho]

*best ways to get in a KQ:


1. DON'T TRY IN ROUMEN!!!!!!


2. let one go don't try.. just wait for the next one... don't close your window.. kinda keep an eye on the system chat.. I've noticed that the system chat will have the "recruting for blah blah blah" message appear the 1st time before the clock in the window hits the correct time...


As far as lag.. i lag horribly but if i see a KQ is gonna start.. i leave the area of roumen as fast as possible.. even use an elderine scroll just to get away from the lag... seriously i'll bet anything most of you that can't get in are standing by a chief to get in... just click the little hourglass (bottom icon) by your map on the upper right hand side of the screen... Since CB2 i've had a 95% success rate of getting in a KQ... and i lag HORRIBLY... running xfire.. and running fraps to get good vids of awesome things during gameplay...


just try those methods those are exactly what i did and i'm tellin u it works.* You just have to be quick and take in to account how many ppl they have crammed on that 1 server... which i know is what is really gettin everyone to why they didn't open up the other server, the lag now is worse then during CB2 because of the increased amount of players...


what they SHOULD do.. is if a certain KQ has less then 15 ppl make it so that you can still access that KQ unless they are in like the last 5-10 mins of the KQ... cause i've seen people go into a KQ.. not see a cleric after everyone joins.. .then just exit... and its like "wow gj... someone who WANTED to be in here now can't cause ur dumbas s was picky about a freakin cleric...."


I've been in groups without a cleric and have won a KQ.. took a bit longer :p like 30 mins but we still won XD

[Asgara]

I think I'll have to try not joining from Roumen then. I have tried before from Forest of Mist actually and I recall that was the only time I got in, that was way back at the start of closed beta though.


Since the last days of closed beta*until now I have consistently missed every KQ I have tried to join amounting to 54 consecutive failures. I'm a fairly patient bloke, I figure as time goes on it'll get easier to join them as people out-level them; but I'm also starting to get a tad annoyed now.

[TastyTapioca]

Trying to join yesterday was gone. The game was going through hickup stages of lag and I think that contributed to the hard time getting into a KQ. I ended up trying over a 6 hour time span and only managed to get in once.

[biggles]

i never try at the chief..its horrible lag so many sellers,people its just to much at one spot..i know it just opend so it will probably get better


but still they do need to do something about it


i mean the games fun..but it gets frustrating when all u do is grind..and KQ is something fun its like an instance good exp and great items


thats how more then 50% of ppl are already lvl 25+


which is crazy i mean it just came out...talk about no life lol

[Ghostdogg]

gotta love the "KQ suxs posts!

[Anaem]

i missed the king slime kq 'cause i couldn't get in at all. Finally made it into a mara KQ. only because there wasn't enough people to fill it. something should be done. but it won't so hopefully things will level out.

[Deedolith]

gotta love the "KQ suxs posts!





God Ghost !!! you wern't forced to resurect back KQ complain threads all at once !

that was uneeded trolling.

[shorty101289]

As a closed beta tester.... i love this game... the closed beta was great, and the open beta seems to be better... due to all the game fixes... however, i agree that the kq is ridiculous... when i did my first kq, i was hooked... especially for the pirate quest, but, it is ridiculously impossible to get into now...





...please do something... i have tried every single entrance since yesterday at like, noon, and i have yet to get in.

[nuggetbaby]

i have*3 suggestion, one is ask GM to extend more group for the KQ... extra 10 or 5 groups... much more better... 2ndly, u can try to relog it b4 kq start in 1 min... i always do this... this will minimize my delay time on click the button... another is, try to take a stop watch with u... haha... this will not loss the chance ^^..... but u have to be all ready and both of ur eyes must fix to the seconds's area... once change, a quick click... dong!!! u are in.... ^^ good luck...

[bigbooty]

its called laggggg i think one easy way for them to fix the problem is maybe to open up that second server. pretty please :D?

[TastyTapioca]

Yah, yesterday was the first time I'd actually seen the word "Busy" instead of "Fine" for the server entry status. That should hopefully be a big hint to open the 2nd server.





I think they should do it soon too, so the newbies will filter out over the two servers instead of congesting into one. If they let people mill around to long in the first one, when the second one opens they'll be of a level that they won't consider a move... thereby making it harder for people to get in to play that've been there a lot longer.

[SuiGeneris]

** The most annoying thing is that its always the same people that get in. I wouldn't get so frustrated if the process was a bit more random and let different people play, but the same group of players getting in over and over again whilst the rest of us can't get in even once is... well... annoying >.<

[srwdell]

dude, gohan.. chill out, you won't always get in, you gotta be fast and whatever. their system for kq is as good as it needs to be, and it's hard to get in because it's so popular. they aren't going to change it in any way just so you can get on, or whoever else wants to get on gets on... just keep trying.





*If the system was ok, then 95% of the people wouldn't be complaining.* It's not a matter of where you are or how fast you are.* When I click immediately, it can't find it because I was too fast, when I click after, 90% of the time it fails.* I have tried every KQ since 9am today and gotten in 0 of them.* I'm tired of all the posts, "I get in every one."* You people are the reason everyone else is so pissed.* We realize that there is some kind of timing trick, and that is not a satisfactory solution for the 95% of us that aren't getting in.* This is a very easy fix.* Don't put it on a timer at all.* Just make it a queue system and when someone joins, they get a 2 hour cooldown before they can join again.* This lets everyone do one, and limits them to once every 2 hours so that people aren't power levelling this way.

[Sleuth13]

Is anyone else still having issues with this. Or is it just me?

[fryselectronics]

use a stopwatch.

The change to get in to the KQ is low when there are many trying to get in... you have to be a quick clicker to get into them, I dont succed every time I try but unless I succed 2 out of 5! So it is not just your problem many people goes thru the same thing.

[Jandalyn]

What KQ are you having a problem getting into. The only KQ that I see anyone having a problem getting into is Gold Hill. All the others have people shouting for people to hurry up and join them so they can start.

[xXBlackhellXx]

Do you have to be in a certain place to join a Kq? Every time I try even when there's open spots it says "Cannot Locate Kings Quest" =\

[ninja92094]

Do you have to be in a certain place to join a Kq? Every time I try even when there's open spots it says "Cannot Locate Kings Quest" =\

u have to click "participate" in the small amount of time it says "Recruiting" on the far right.


a good trick on getting into kq's is too shift+z if ur in a city. This will take away all the lagginess, and will make u click participate in THE EXACT SECOND u clicked it...not 15 seconds after. If ur doing Gold Hill, i understand...put of the many times i tried, i only got in twice. Kq's after that get easier to join :D

[iceringstar]

What about allowing anyone (in the required lvl range) to register, then at the end of the register time frame, the server pickup 15 ppl not already doing KQ ?


Oh yea? What about if you miss the level range due to you not knowing it? I wanted to be strong enough to be effective in it and as a result I missed the first one, and now I cant start it anymore. I've spent hours on my mage. Would you suggest a restart of the mage?

Actually My problem is getting the first quest done. where you have to kill these warriors and all that. its before counterattack the first one that comes up at level 5. any idea how to get that to work? I am level 14 now btw
