I also am in the boat of not ever using the battle.net desktop client and getting 2 things:

* Frequent b.net disconnects when using oQueue

* Massive raid lag when oQueue is enabled, especially when going between wings (zones) in SoO

If I /reload, both go away for awhile and then come back. If I disable oQueue everything is smooth.

The issues definitely started for me back when Blizzard changed the API to force addons to use the b.net backchannel instead of via PMs.

Note: I'm not blaming oQueue here. I never reported this from the beginning because I believe they are issues with battle.net's infrastructure not being adequate to handle massive backchannel communications. It would be great if Tiny can find ways to circumvent the issue or tune things to improve them but if he can't find the right way to do that there isn't much he can do.

When I get into a raid I usually log out and disable oQueue until I get out or need it again. I'd use "go dark" but it doesn't persist between /reloads and it re-enables whenever I open my character screen (to display item levels). If those 2 things could be tweaked it would at least allow us to disable it easier ... but that doesn't fix the core problem. Blizzard needs to improve their battle.net servers and allow for larger and more frequent messages before the core problem will go away.

Nope, hadn't even head of it. I use Prat and SpamThrottle (and Greeenwall on one character but rarely played and disabled on others) as my chat addons. I use a bunch of others for my UI.

This is a list of ALL of my addons, not all are enabled, but I'm happy to debug this by disabling specific ones to see if we can nail down the conflicting addon and see which needs to update.

bug: oQueue seems to remove Report Player function

Around the time I started using oQueue I found I couldn't report players anymore. I thought Blizzard got tired of me reporting every mount duper and so blamed them for it. Then I saw a report on Prat's page on Curse.com and someone else had the same problem.

I spent some time today going through my addons, disabling any chat related addons first, and still couldn't get Report to come up reliably ... until I got to oQueue.

Disabling oQueue allows me to report whether other addons are enabled or not. Enabling oQueue kills my Report function even if other addons are disabled.

It doesn't generate an error, so no log to post right now.

I can still Report on non-chat functions that display in the chat menu, like battle.net logins, but not on chat entries.

Thanks for a place to post these :) oQueue is a wonderful addon and I'm happy to have sent beer regardless of suggestions being implemented. Some of these were mentioned on the FB group awhile back, just collating here and adding a couple.


* When oQueue is manually disabled (go dark), don't restart oQueue when the character equipment screen is loaded (too many times during a raid that I swap gear around).


* [deleted, I found out I had oQueue all the way to the left and my personal info mouseover window wasn't showing up]


* A way to hide premades from the list (for instance, if I've queued up and been removed from a queue, let me hide that one since they're obviously not looking for me) ... or ... show groups I've queued and been removed from with a visual indicator (like a grey highlight or greyed premade name on that line).


* A way for the leader to send questions to people in the waitlist (not the reverse, I see your reason for not allowing the reverse). Maybe a temp b.net friending with the leader able to unfriend after the messages are sent or maybe a non-b.net method of prompting for question/answer.

Reason for the above: That way I don't join a group needing me to have an offspec I don't have only to get bumped when I say no (not a big deal if I'm -only- oQueued, but a hassle when in other queues since we get dropped from the queues when invited to group.

* A way to add a personal note to our character that leaders can see when waitlisted (like, "OS is heals" or "no belts")


* Show leader's class/spec (color the leader name with class color and put spec on the mouseover information). Especially in a 10m raid the chances of getting into a run when you're the same spec/class is pretty low.

(Seeing the entire party's composition (for instance to avoid trying to join a raid full of people who need the same gear as you), without names, would be handy but probably a bigger hassle than it is worth.)



* Huge addition, but would be very useful, a reverse waitlist system that lets you select the raids you are interested in. Similar to how Blizz's works now but that no one uses. Would be especially handy if you could post this list on your main toon and have it stay active while on alts for those times when you are camping something very specific. That way leaders could browse users that haven't yet waitlisted their specific raid.
