Guild Wars 2

there are numerous threads saying that the matchmaker is actually better than season one when you play in prime time, because that’s the time when the player pool is diverse and big enough for it to do its job well… So my question is when is this?
I am playing in EU (UK specifically) and I have found that it is just overall bad, interestingly I seem to get the most playable games around or over midnight (which is around 1am on the continent – which I seriously doubt would be the prime time) Dont get me wrong I am still getting like 50% of games total garbage blowouts, but that number is around 75% any other time, I have just come out from the 3rd game, today (I know not a big number but I just started the day really) with all 3 games below 100 pts. on the losing side… Funniest thing is i am getting near instant queues right now, and all of the games are total kitten…

So once again, this question is for other EU/UK players, when do you usually get at least a good amount of playable games?

Not from EU but would imagine it would be the same as it is in the United States. There are hours where you would expect the majority of people to be working, going to school, or sleeping and those would be less optimal times to play.

OFFtimes are the best times to play because all the working class and kids arent playing then. Wich the brunt of cassuals exists off of. Only the people who trully enjoy the PvP in this game play on OFFtimes so your bound to have better matches.

I found on the NA server the best time to play is 2am to 7am eastern… Basically the primetime of OCX or SEA timezones and others would be asleep or at work/school.

As those timezones have some of the lowest population for GW2 many of the people you’ll be facing people who have either recently started playing and aren’t at their best yet or are tired and are past their peak for the day…

That statement makes no sense.

Surely the LARGEST population would have MORE people that are new and aren’t as good.

so this both applies EU and NA. prime time would be during off work, school, after reset hours.
