Guild Wars 2

I’m just curious if there is a wait time for WvW that is considered “acceptable” from the Dev staff? 30 minutes? An hour? etc… Like at a certain point will they stop adding more worlds to spread people out, and at that point should we continue to expect queues?

I ask because in the beta weekend events I played primarily WvW and loved it. I joined friends/a guild on Jade Quarry (I know, i know, it’s a large server but it’s where people went) and I have yet to play WvW at all. To be honest I didn’t try to queue until my main was around 50 but since then I have never been able to get in. Maybe I play in peak times or something, but I’m now level 80 and what I really want to do is play WvW, but that requires sitting around afk for over an hour.

So do they have a “goal” with these queue times?

Their goal is to 1. Balance the worlds out so one doesnt have more people than the other
2. Reduce FPS issues because of having too many people

They added 3 new US servers recently, more may be added to spread out the queue times.

queue times can be crazy. It would be great if they opened up WvW overflows of the borderlands. Take away all contribution but leave in xp rewards. bingo.

In the end all we want to do is PvP/have fun.

Yes we care about contribution/competing against other servers, but i’d rather be able to actually PvP/have fun over sitting in a queue.

Unless it’s something off-peak, like 3am, my queue times are regularly hours long, trying to get into the same map with your party is even more difficult. Trying to get a part of your guild (20-30) to run a coordinated siege is next to impossible.

I completely agree.

While I like the idea of fighting for my server and building up contribution for my server…at the end of the day I would rather just be able to get in when I want to, even if it was on some random server that I had no allegiance to.

Hopefully they consider adding that in because the queue times continue to be insane and I fear they aren’t going to improve that much.
