Guild Wars 2

I have some questions about WvWvW and then I want to rant a little about it and the state its in now..

I want to know how the queue works.. Can you only queue for 1 wvwvw map at a time or can you queue for them all at the same time?

How can you coordinate with your guild if more than half of your guild is stuck in a 4 to 7 hour queue for wvwvw? Specially if its your leadership stuck in the queue… (fanboys dont say switch to a low pop server.. Everyone cant switch to a low pop server because there are not enough servers)

Why would they make a 500 person guild cap and then not allow more than half to be in wvwvw at the same time?

Why do people get into WvWvW before others that queue before them?

How does the queue balance work? What I mean is, is it first come first serve (meaning it doesnt try to balance numbers per server) or does it try to cap and balance each server so it trys to have the same amount of people for each server/side..

Ok now for the ranting.. The queue UI for wvwvw is terrible!! You cant tell what you are queued for or how long the wait is going to be or anything.. You cant even cancel a queue.. There shouldnt be a queue in the first place.. I dont like PvE endgame in GW2 and Im not a fan of Spvp so I only have WvWvW that I enjoy.. Yet I cant enjoy it most of the time because im stuck in a long queue… Its hard for me to log into the game because I know I am going to be stuck in a long queue when I do… That is not fun at all.. rant over..

It’ll work itself out. As updates come the WvW caps will raise and the queue system will be optimized. Right now its a little low on the list of priorities because there are more pressing matters like bugs, trading post, quest issues, etc etc. In other words you’ll just have to wait.

And as far as I know you can only queue for one map at a time. But I can’t say for 100% certain.

Its not going to work it self out.. The devs need to make improvements for it to work out… They need to make improvements to the UI and server caps..

The dynamics of WvW battles are also in desperate need of revision. It’s next to impossible for some realms to end up on top within 24 hour period when some realms appear to never sleep. After the borderlands reset, it’s pretty even as far as points go throughout the entire night, then during the day while most people are at school or at work, you come home and find one server with 180k points with second highest at roughly 50k. It’s possible that these realms are inhabited by a greater number of Australian players as one example and will become a huge problem when server resets are farther between, due to the points for wvw perks system. If you find my post about actual WvW dynamics you’ll find greater issues for concern with the state of WvW in general. I agree wholeheartedly however with your point about not being able to see your place in the queue.
