Guild Wars 2

was wondering if anyone else is having extreamally long ques and what makes it so long?

Likely a lack of players wanting to queue until this disconnect bug has been fixed. Two nights in a row my matches have been plagued by it.

Maybe because all the <rank 20 players aren’t in queue anymore.

So instead of fixing queue times you’ve actually made them worse?

Brilliant.

You would take faster games over better quality players/matches? I sure wouldn’t. Players that don’t realise only one person needs to stand on point to cap it don’t deserve to be allowed in ranked. It takes time to learn rotation and also develop skill. And players that predominantly WvW that want to join PvP need time to discover the differences and nuances in their build (due to stats), and will reach rank 20 easily enough.

@Evan: I appreciate the rank gating to enter ranked PvP. Never going to please everyone. Queues could be 2 minutes and someone would still complain.

Like I said, it’s likely the lack of players queuing due to this DC bug. I sure won’t be queuing before its fixed.

Ranked will always have higher wait times than unranked because it has a smaller population of players. The only way to compensate is to make worse matches. This will be a different story when Leagues start though

Isnt another way to compensate to remove unarnked and just have a “PlayPvPnowplease” button?

You’re actually COMPLAINING that we don’t have completely new players in ranked anymore? /facepalm

I really don’t get these people complaining about 7 minute queues, lol.

Also, if you would rather have totally new people in ranked than having some good matches, I’m not sure why you do pvp at all.

maybe they remember gw1 RA, w/ ~30 sec queues, where mmr didn’t matter, where u didn’t have to have 4 straight losses to enjoy some wins, where u didn’t feel like u just lost an hour+ of ur life into 4 terrible matches, where u didn’t have to click around a lobby bored…

Yes but in gw1, once you got a good team you’d carry on with that team until you have 25 mins. Not sure why they got rid of this actually, just add a dialogue at the end of each match asking if you want to proceed.
