Guild Wars 2

Heya Guys! Was just emailing GW2 support and one of the mods told me to post my suggestion here to gain a bit of support!
Anyway, my original email was explaining how much PvP queue timers were a burden to PvP Missions. As in the fact that you could be waiting for 5+ minutes and for a further minute in game, waiting for everyone to ready up. If you do this twice in a 30 minute PvP Mission, then that’s over a third of your time gone already. Unfortunately, having a specific number of members in a PvP team doesn’t always affect the queue times.
So, I suggested a way to “freeze” the PvP Mission Timer when out of a match. This means that your time will only decrease whilst you are actually in a PvP Mission and therefore helping out towards completing it. I feel like this would be a very helpful feature to us all!

YES! Our guild has the exact same problem!It’s difficult to do the PvP missions when we spend 5 minutes in queues before getting a match and needing at least 2 matches to complete it. Especially since most of the active members can come online for an hour or two at evenings, the queues just waste so much time for them that it’s discouraging them from doing the missions.

To be honest this is one of the big problems when it comes down to missions it limits the time to make the entire mission more stressful then it needs to be especially for the smaller guilds out there. It really is a small issue with a large impact and with limited time limited members and with only a small portion of the community invested in PvP.

Now this is a great idea, i would love to see this be brought in game, we have had the same problems when we’ve needed the last match, but we have lost the time for it in que! so this would be awesome if something could be done about it.

this is something that i’ve talked about with a few friends many times (every time we run missions)

especially when you have some missions that require stronghold, the queue times can become rediculous & lose out on half the time available to do the missions.

Why is it even a timer in the first place? and not the next played game/two games? They could restrict it to be within a 24 hr period. As far as I know, there is no activation cost,

I can agree with that. How they would incorporate a timer, I’m not sure exactly. Especially if multiple teams are running the mission at once. But, something like you suggested could be exactly what we need. For example; “Earn a total of x Rank Points within 5 matches”
