Priority queue Puns

each export should take about 4 minutes, though I may run models that are better/slower or worse/faster based on request volume. I'll also be giving a gold to the best museum description some time tomorrow

EDIT: we've definitely reached request volume where priority will be given to museum review-writers

EDIT 2: If media-synthesis AI is interesting to you, I've recently written a book with that tech near the center stage--you can find info about it on my profile! And @Mods, if this is too self-promotiony, I can remove this bit from the post upon request

I'll be pausing for the night at 6:40 pm EDT--been babysitting these exports for most of the day. It's been fun, everyone!~

I may or may not resume in several hours. No promises made!

EDIT 12:47 am -- I may have a large batch processing pipeline in place, so I'll try to start running some more of these shortly. Stand by!

EDIT 2:49 am EDT -- have to call it a night. I may have the ability to run a few more in like 12 hours, but odds aren't great. Thanks for taking part, everybody!

Let me pick priority pass for 1 role while selecting multiple roles. I sometimes wanna play every role and just leave it up to chance which role I get. But to do that I have to basically accept that I won't play DPS. and that's lame. So I'd love it if I could use priority pass while queueing for multiple roles

I've been trying to practice sett like most people are but I only manage to get 2 Baron games since he released 7 hours ago. Normally you would gain priority queue after 3 games in you non-first role but it's been 6 games of jungle and adc and I haven't gotten to play sett since he literally released. Am I bugging or was it actually removed?

I recently pre-ordered the Razer Blade 14, which is a laptop that I've been looking at for a while. Honestly one of the reasons that I jumped on it now was a promo that came up on Razer.com.

Razer 14 Promo Banner

The language used in the banner seems to imply that upon qualifying preorder, I would receive a "gift" of the exclusive DeathAdder V2 X. This is made even more clear on the next page.

Full Promo Info

The "(worth $79.99)" clarification seemingly supports my understanding of a ~$80 gift on purchase of a ~$2300 laptop.

I decided to jump on the opportunity and pre-order the Razer Blade 14. I did not receive any mention of the mouse in the confirmation email, and I decided to reach out to support to confirm my eligibility.

Email from Razer support

Am I alone in not understanding how this is made clear? It seems obvious to me that the mouse is a bonus included with a preorder purchase. I don't even care that much about the mouse it just seems weird and a sour introduction into the "Razer family".

Edit 1:

Only update I have gotten from Razer is that my preorder that was supposed to ship today has been delayed :)

I'll let you guys know what the support team says thanks for all the replies.

Edit 2:

The support team reached back out and confirmed that I am not going to receive a mouse. Cool.

Need $792 in VV moments or $808 in set stacks to reach the priority queue for this Tuesday’s drop. Worth it for this and future rare drops?

Wikipedia of Dijkstra's algorithm has the following pseudocode, which uses a min-priority queue:

1  function Dijkstra(Graph, source):
2      dist[source] ← 0                           // Initialization
3
4      create vertex priority queue Q
5
6      for each vertex v in Graph:          
7          if v ≠ source
8              dist[v] ← INFINITY                 // Unknown distance from source to v
9              prev[v] ← UNDEFINED                // Predecessor of v
10
11         Q.add_with_priority(v, dist[v])
12
13
14     while Q is not empty:                      // The main loop
15         u ← Q.extract_min()                    // Remove and return best vertex
16         for each neighbor v of u:              // only v that are still in Q
17             alt ← dist[u] + length(u, v)
18             if alt < dist[v]
19                 dist[v] ← alt
20                 prev[v] ← u
21                 Q.decrease_priority(v, alt)
22
23     return dist, prev

However, it's unclear how decrease_priority can be implemented in logarithmic time. Would anyone care to help?

I haven't played for few years but I have a decent hangar. Now I tried to play the game but queue time in low priority is over 30min. I gave up waiting after 35 min and stopped even trying. What gives?? I don't even remember why I'm in low priority.

For ever League has suffered with the issue of toxicity. Games like DOTA2 and GTA have actually solved this to some extent.

If you're toxic/griefing then low prio queue puts you against other similar players. You can only leave low prio queue if you complete/win games in it. It's the most fair and deserved punishment because playing these games is torture, but you deserve it and they're all like you - in there cause you were bad.

This is surely better than banning and a fair method. It should be used way more often. Flaming? Low prio queue. Feeding? LPQ AFK? LPQ.

You can't do anything about people who subtly skirt the rules but that doesn't mean we can't address the other people.

With all the people playing right now I can see why BSG would implement a queue before being able to access the game. It's the easiest solution and pretty standard among most MMOs. However, I think this would be greatly improved if there was also a system in place to keep someone's spot in line for about 5 minutes before throwing them to the back of the queue. This would at least give someone a chance to resolve their issue and reconnect to the game. This can be seen on NoPixel and a lot of other GTA RP servers.

I've started working on performance of the venerable but somewhat neglected pqueue package. The changes I've made so far are pretty obviously good, and make a big difference in even the most informal testing. But to make decisions about smaller points, I really need benchmarks, and the package has none. Does anyone know of a benchmark suite for priority queues? One that includes algorithms that involve persistent queue use would be particularly desirable, but I'll take anything.

According to an interview with Adam Isgreen, free hotkey config & a visible production queue during games is top priority or "on the list" for future patches:

Ive been playing NOTHING but mainly tank and some heals over months because the queue times for DPS is ridiculous. Well i finally had enough and wanted to try some DPS too as i had priority passes lying around after all that flex...

Well too bad i barely got to play some good games because you are almost guaranteed someone will leave in and below gold rank. Not only is it frustrating because i cant have any fun, its even more frustrating when i then have to go back and sit in 7-10 min queues even with a goddamn priority pass. I almost feared doing too well because of abandoners in the enemy team, while i was trying to climb with the one DPS hero i felt i could carry with.

Why dont we get priority queue when someone leaves the games? Punish abandoners, not the ones who actually want to play.

It leaves a particularly sour taste in my mouth when I've recently started using Stadia as well.

I have been paying for GFN for two years without having to queue and now I'm suddenly getting put into queues of 160 people. Meanwhile I have a Stadia free tier account and I never have to wait even ten seconds to launch my games, furthermore with no session time limits.

So I pay for one service which is constantly being downgraded and I'm now being forced to queue, despite the advertised reason for paying is "priority access", while I pay nothing for the other service where the hardware is consistent, no random downgrades and no waiting times.

How can Nvidia defend this bullshit? It's pathetic.

Update: It appears to be working normally again now. I hope this doesn't become a common occurrence.

I personally have no problem with any blue light service getting to the front of the queue. Though ALL bulk fuel sellers in the UK are required to keep 5% of fuel bunkered for the State to use in emergencies.

I would happily let any emergency services vehicle or worker jump the queue (daughter is a Dr, mate is patient transport, another mate is a police officer).

I just know there are bound to be some types that will not be as understanding and will not budge.

Do you have any powers to make drivers move from their position in the queue?

Just curious

Looks like it keeps getting delayed, so wanted a forum to see if anyone wants to chat.

Really looking forward to this drop. Good luck everyone!

Update - now delayed til 10:30am PST

Played about 20 minutes, at end of cutscene lost connection to server. Now 3443 in queue :(

Hi Guys,

Let's make one thread to discuss this since we are all a bit peeved by the fact that GGG chose to give streamers priority over regular players as many of us are DCing at log in. I'm personally quite upset at the double standard.

Edit: Lot's of traction very quickly. I think it's important to note that many non-streamers pay money to support GGG and this game. We all support the things we love in different ways.

We all love this game and the fact that many players are being DC'd and stuck in a 100K plus queue while streamers are given free reign just feels like a slap in the face is all.

Edit2: Peiplays brings up a great point. Keep it cordial in everyone's chats boys.

" I dont blame the streamers - i blame GGG - i get it from a business standpoint it's not a good look to have 100k+ people look at a login screen on a stream (which is about the total viewership of the big streamers that got the skip) at the same time .. It's a slap in the face to the rest of the comunity and will just fuel the fire for the hate train against streamers - dont think most of them wanted to deal with chats filled with angry people "

Edit 3: How many DCs and requeues for everyone? I'm at seven! Usually we are let right back in after a DC. Any amazing drops other than the game itself bois?

Amazing, just less than 5 minutes before the start of priority queue 2, they delay it by 2 hours!! You might have think that after more than a year and multiple packs releases they know what they are doing…

Considering one needs at least a 10,000 point collector score, it can't be many, right?

I am pretty new to OW still, but I have heard people complaining about two things:

1. Priority tickets don't do much of a difference since everyone is using them.

2. DPS-players play flex just to get priority tickets, and their team mates feel that they are not making an effort, because they don't care about ranking up with tank/support.

Seems to me like both of these issues would be solved if using more priority tickets would get you further ahead in the queue.

Of course, you could argument that it's unfair to the DPS-players who do not have time to sit and play flex for an hour, who will now end up constantly in the back of the qeueu. But imagine this scenario:

Let's say two gold DPS-players use all 40 tickets. Other DPS-players dont want to use so many of their hard-earned tickets at once, so these gold-players get ahead of everyone in the queue. Since they used all 40 tickets, we can even place them in a platinum lobby to find a game for them faster, since it's fair match making (as long as both teams end up with similar mmr).

Now those gold DPS-players have to play flex A LOT to get those tickets back. They will be strongly motivated to win, since they are using up tickets so fast. Additionally, they will have no choice but to improve significantly as tank and support, since they are playing those roles so much and getting practice.

The consequence of this is that more players are going to play flex and the queue times naturally become shorter for everyone. So the system should balance itself.

Doesn't that make sense? I've heard people discussing this before, but there was no explanation why they don't do it this way. I figured maybe someone knows why blizzard didn't do it this way.

I just got booted after getting to the 100s of my queue timer after 2 1/2 hours of waiting only to get Error 2002ed and sent back to the 3000s. I honestly think that SE needs to implement a priority re-queue for those who were within reach of entering their respective worlds to play the game. This would allow players who were within the 1000s or the 100s of the queue to immediately access the game after a certain amount of players have left the world.

Any thoughts?

It says I need a low priority win but I don't know how to do that.
