Guild Wars 2

Right now I’m looking at a 17 minute Q timer standing in HotM and I’m really bored. So I figured I’d like to see what you guys think about Q times and how boring HotM is? I remember back in the day we could Q for team/soloQ and hotjoin while waiting, why was that removed?

Now I have nothing to do but stare at a Q timer. I’ve seen it go as high as 40 minutes this season. I know it’s only a few days in, but I think after 10 minutes matchmaking should just put you against whoever…

Ideas?

don t worry, q cancels itself after 2 hrs. had that last season.

I was Qing with some friend the other day and after it hit 30 minutes, I’m pretty sure one of my party members timed out for excessive inactivity. Then we had to Q again.

It was already doing that. Unfortunately, either worse players than yourself quit or better players than you don’t give a kitten to play this nonsense. So, buddy you’re SoL.

For science, and counting.

Is this a brag post? If so, we don’t give a kitten.
Is this a looking for answers post? We still don’t give a kitten. Open a support ticket and get on with your life.

No and no, I figure the more ANet hears that HotM is boring, the sooner they might do something about it.

I usually restart queue if it is longer than 5-7 min. Sometimes it helps. But yeah i agree, sitting afk in Hotm is boring (hence why i spam forums between queues), i miss old times when you could queue outside of hotm or duel.

Thought of ANEt doing something is scarier than them not doing something.

Did we ever get a reason why they disabled being able to hotjoin while in Q?

yeah they said something once about ppl missing queue because they were on loading screen while crossing zones or in fun wvw fight/duel etc.

I’d be ok with the game taking me out of Q when hotjoin ends and re-Qing me when the next one starts.

I wish they would add MF back, at least i could gamble qq

Took that out because of linen farmers.

For more science.
