Guild Wars 2

Currently if you press B you will get a status update of WvW and an option to join one of the 4 battlegrounds.

However you do not know how many people are in each area, nor do you know how long the queue is any of the battlegrounds.

I would like to see Anet add an indicator that will show how many people are in the battleground. (Either just our world or for all 3 worlds)

I’d also like an indicator that will show how many people are in the queue ahead of me.

If you like this idea please bump me!

+1 …nothing much more to say, other than such numbers
could replace the pie chart/diagram, which takes up quite some space,
when you press ‘B’.

God yes! This really should’ve been included on release. Good suggestion!

+1 cause it´s simple, logic and a great idea !

+1 for the logic.

Absolutely. The is a great idea. And it will help the playerbase know if there is an actual population cap issue. Even if it is not an exact number of all 3 sides, but instead a percentage basis.

But yes, # in queue before me is a must have.

Very yes. Some idea of queue position would be a huge improvement.

I’d like to know if I should just hang around in LA for a few minutes, or actually go out and play some while I wait.

This is a good idea and it should be easy to implement too.

As a side effect I think it could discourage people from amassing on overpopulated servers: if I knew that on a T1 wvw server queues are 1h+ long while on a T2 I have to wait less than 20 minutes I’d move to the T2.

But that’s me, I’m sure there are people who would stay on the top server even if it meant waiting a lot to play.

I agree with that.

Also, it’s just more efficient in general. I’d like to see the real WvW situation at a glance. But instead, I have to join maps and kinda have to look around for myself or ask people what the situation is in terms of player numbers for each team. I’m never quite sure which map really needs me, or which map lots of people really want to join when there a queues (because I don’t usually care, so I’d prefer to wait in a shorter line).

I don’t like to pile-on when enemy teams are outnumbered either. And I’m more likely to join when my team can really use some help. So this would help with that as well.

I agree wholeheartedly with this idea. There have been releases of queue information so we know that the information is already out there. All we need is a nice little infographic for WvW. This sort of a redesign for the scoreboard has already been done for sPvP and could easily be implemented in WvW. This also lets players get the most fun instead of waiting for 2 hours in one queue when a different one is only 5 minutes long.

Wow glad to see such strong support for this. I sure hope Anet notices.

absolutely great idea! Anet should definitely add this option it can definitely help a lot!

i strongly approve of this idea Anet make it happen please we love you guys ;D

Please subscribe to this thread and keep spreading the word in game and on the forums. The only way Anet will take notice is if you stay VERY VOCAL about this.

This is too good an idea to let get buried under the mountain of ideas we have. Keep bumping it and they WILL take notice. Dev’s show us some love!

Been suggested before. Lots.

Doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, just that I doubt it’s high on the dev’s list.
