Guild Wars 2

Been waiting in que since reset, either its the lag or too much spamming, instant 100+ que no matter how fast u spam the portal. So sitting in TS listening the farm the fights… over time que moves slowly and 3hours later FINALLY got in, then the main commander tags down cos ‘’prime time’’ is almost over, and it doesnt matter if another tags up cos its late i got an early shift job cant stay up all night and play.
It’s been like this since the update, i havent even got to see eb or bl, thanks anet, gj!
Sorry i dont post rant threads like this but after a week wasting evenings like this is seriously starting to kitten me off.

Not that anyone wants to hear this, but maybe Anet wants people to get a little upset with the cues and transfer off the busy servers?

I doubt they think this much about it but…

You know you can actually jump onto another border if it’s insta 100 man queue (you’re still be queued to that border anyway)? Or did all zones have 100 man queues?

i did that when game first came out i was on jade to begin with but 5 hours qu i just left to yak bend XD

every map has 50-100q every evening

Then transfer down a few tiers.

Transferring has been destroying WvW communities.

Neither queues nor transferring are effective at retaining player interests.

An alternative solution is increasing server capacity and bandwidth to meet player demands.

Transferring up has been destroying WvW communities.

FYP.

If you can’t get into WvW it’s because your server is too fat from everybody transferring up over the years.

Try going the other way for a change, the lower tiers aren’t as dead as they used to be since the update.

It’s probably best to see how they handle the next set of links before transferring.

Transfer to another server then.

The server i’m on is getting its ass kicked for the second week in a row since the WvW update. Right now its Saterday and there isnt a single queue and we’re Outnumbered on every single Borderland. So odds are i’m earning more pips than the players on other servers thanks to the +5 pips from Outnumbered.

The community kittened up the WvW balance all by themselves, partially to blame is anet for allowing the community to do it, but ultimately we did do this to ourselves.

It is a problem with people transferring to top server all the time. Im on Deso and we had queues with 15-20 people on all maps on reset night. But other than friday bl’s are outnumbered almost 24/7. Meanwhile fsp/gandara have about 3 times the numbers and full coverage throughout the week so we are talking about at least 50+ queues. That’s overpopulation right there.

On NA they problem is much bigger where there are 3 servers with all the population and the rest are completely dead. Hence the queues.

People will have to get over the “i need to be on top” mentality if there will ever be server balance again. Linking is also very lackluster and makes the problem even worse.
I’m happy where i am even if we can’t compete with gandara or fsp but thats also partially to not having any links since god knows when.

Still with the loyalty thingy now even people u transfered to overpopulated servers will think twice b4 transferring again.

We got outman buff in ebg 1.5 hrs in on reset, join us on HOD if you want low queues server.

There has never been server balance in this game, it is simply a system that is so flawed it can’t produce balance outside of the rare occurrence of 3 servers being absolutely stacked 24/7, which I believe happened for a while on NA T1, but I could be wrong about that as I play EU where the idea of server balance has been laughable since day 1.

Its only 1 pip and theyre going to reduce it to 1 week.

What? Why? They should increase it to 1 year. These server hopping bandwagoners that just want to win have been ruining the game for years. They should be punished for it.

Its not the players fault that servers are full its anets for allowing transfers and pve being involved in this. If transfers didnt have any money cost it would be ok but having people pay more and more amd more its wrong.

I agree the bandwaggoning sucks, but if they increase it to 1 year, then nobody will ever leave the top servers. Going down tiers and not receiving rewards for a year? Yeah….no incentive to leave whatsoever. You are in fact punishing the people who do consider leaving at that point. It works both ways.

So how about no penalty if you go down? You only get the 1 year penalty if you go up. That will force people to move down and not all crowd onto BG.

fsp had 100 queue today and rest of maps was ~30/50 dunno anymore when exactly but i guess it was around prime time..

fsp always had queue’s but these queues we have now i havent seen them since i had quit basically i dont mind transfering off i dont have server loyality i just want to do WvW i can do it for any server but paying kitten load while i barely play this game nowadays nope thnx..

they should have just made a freaking mega server for WvW just fill up maps like mist and enjoy boom boom.

I dont think that sounds like a good decision, wouldnt that lead eventually to all players being on the same 3 servers? I dont know what it would be but Anet needs to come up with a solution to encourage people to spread out to different servers so the numbers balance out better.

Orrrr….Maybe its Anet’s way of getting more people into EotM (go there while queued) and hope people appreciate it as a WvW area instead of a pure ktrain WvW wannabe area?

How about + 1 Pip for every rank you transfer down for 1 week per rank, but an account can only get that bonus once per year?

Queues arent actually that out of line with prepatch some time back. 100+ queue EB, common because people cant be kitten d to play borders. 30+ man to at least one of the borders with a known commander, again pretty common.

The main difference is that theres now enough people to break the overflow map – DBL. No one wanted to play there, its been taboo on FSP (even when home). So if the other maps was full, that was always empty.

The first week of frantic PvErs joining WvW for easy ascended seems to be over anyway. Most probably figured out they actually have to play WvW. Last week was nowhere near it on normal weekdays. During the reset and weekend its always lots of people.
