Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to get on Blackgate for two days now, & apparently there’s not even a queueing system in this game for “full” servers, you need to just keep checking all day to see if/when anyone ever logs out, so then you might be able to log in & make a character there yourself…

This system sucks! Please implement a queueing system so we can just get in queue & create a character when the queue pops, instead of this “lol tough luck, server’s full, try again later or go somewhere else” crap we’re stuck with.

Do the Germans have a word for taking joy in the irony of a situation?

Schadenfreude.

There is no queue system in this game in case you didn’t notice. The entire idea was to be able to log in without having to wait to play. It has been very successful in doing that, since launch I’ve never had to wait to play the game.

The whole purpose of the server caps is the WvWvW issues it brings, if everyone joined Blackgate then it would be near impossible to get in WvWvW.

If you don’t even care about WvWvW, then joining another server is not an issue since that is the only content that requires you to be on a particular server.

There is no Queue system in PvE, in WvW there is and you can even see your position in the queue.
I can’t imagine why Anet doesn’t implement that same system in PvE.

I pointed that out in my OP, I’m pretty sure I noticed.

No queueing system means you can’t log in on the server you want to play on at all, I’d say that’s worse than having to wait in line a bit to get in.

They really should! There’s no downside.

No, adding a queue system would just make everyone leave the smaller servers and make WvWvW near non-existent for those servers.

How do you think Blackgate would think if hundreds of people just started going to their server and causing the queues in WvWvW to be over an hour long?

Whelp, i guess this thread puts an end to any “GW2 is dying” thread.

Every other game with a queueing system doesn’t have one giant server & 15 empty ones, this game wouldn’t either.

No harm would come to anyone by letting new players wait in line to get in on the servers they want to play on.

Or people could..You know..Pick one of the other 20 servers?

Actually yes, several games have one giant server and dozens of dead ones.

Which games?

If Anet haven’t changed the system, “being full/very high/high…” populated indicates the number of accounts in that server. So, you need to wait for ANet to increase server population cap or for some players to transfer to another server.

As others have said, there is never any ‘wait in queue to play’, nor should there ever be such a thing implemented, frankly.

A server being full merely means that the realm is not accepting new players. It doesn’t affect any players on that realm at all – the warning you get when guesting to a full realm is remnant of the pre-megaserver zone/server system, where guesting to a full or heavily populated realm meant you were more likely to get into an overflow instead of that realm’s home map.

I would not be opposed to some kind of notification of when a realm is no longer full, however this is a feature they would likely never implement due to there being really no need, nor enough demand.

Blllleh. This is just awful if it’s true.

What is the actual reason to guest to another Server since Megaserver anyway? I guess I’m missing the logic process of the OP wanting to guest to Blackgate in the first place.

If you are attempting to MOVE, then they have a system and it does NOT promote making it easy to move to a very high pop server….just like it should.

Choose a different server? ..

Servers are only important for WvW, pve it doesn’t really matter which server you use, and you can play with friends on other servers no problem at all.(so long as you’re in the same region, NA/EU can’t play together)

its also for World Buffs gained from wvw. if your new or poor you want the crafting bonuse’s. maybe the +HP bonus for fighting open world etc or the plethora of other buffs.

also wvw is pve, since its required for map completion

tired of TC,JQ,BG being 24/7 Full also when they all have coverage issues and maps that dont have hard caps.

The world buffs aren’t a big deal. In fact I didn’t even know about them.
Just join one of the high pop servers that aren’t “full”.

And no wvw isn’t pve just for requiring map completion, and it actually isn’t too bad getting those points, even on low pop servers.

In the grand scheme of things, those bonuses amount to little. And you don’t have to be on Blackgate or something to get them, even T8 servers can still obtain reasonably high bonuses.

The only reason to get into a specific server is to WvW with that server. For PvE or sPvP, it doesn’t matter at all due to the megaserver implementation. It maybe matters in the sense that you might have higher priority of being dumped into a particular map instance, but any organized PvE content (i.e. Tequatl) will have people taxi-ing in the same map anyways, so it doesn’t matter.

Anyways, the suggestion seems to be a bit misplaced.

Where are now those people that says how GW2 losing players ROFL.

Um… Just a hint… JQ is the bandwagon server in T1 right now.

TC could sure use some numbers though

Why else would you want to transfer server? And with the server in question that the OP wants to transfer him to, it’s natural to reply to that.

The hate for JQ is strong in Reverence. If he can slip in an anti JQ post, he will.

Server status is based on Accounts, not logins. It will stay as “full” until someone transfers off or Anet increases the population cap.

You mean to create a account on Blackgate?

I am from Blackgate, I never had problem logging in every night.
WvWvW is only ever full on Friday night, or possibly Sat nights. Plus it does have a queue system.

I don’t see how server population can be based on total accounts, considering it’s possible to do a mass blackout to get transfers into full servers. It’s been done before on all the t1 servers, I’d imagine.

If it was total accounts rather than people logged in, that would not work.

Might as well since ANet seems to have forgotten WvW and PvP exist.
