I have a suggestion for the next phase to the WvW linking. I think that T1 and T2 should be exempt from any linkage. If you consolidate T3 and below, I think we’d have the perfect balance in server population. I say this because with two of the best servers in NA (TC and Maguuma) facing each other, queues have been crazy.

Oh, and TC’s been getting double teamed again. Even more reason for me to get into the map quicker.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

JQ is a T1 server and our pairing with IoJ has not created any huge queue problems at all.

So perhaps your suggestion is a little obtuse?

Sure TC has huge queues because they became a huge bandwagon 1 week before the patch when some really big guilds decided they wanted to game the system. And BG poached a bunch of guilds from servers who were worried about the future of WvW.

So maybe mass player migrations a week before ANET releases a major patch to how populations in WvW work is an extremely stupid thing to do? I feel bad for the lower pop servers who are paired with servers with manipulative meglomaniac leadership who went on guild buying sprees and ensured their queues are going to be a complete disaster until populations again migrate away from their server.

I just hope all pre new system gaming last week with forced player migrations does not rapidly increase player attrition when this new form of WvW should be increasing retention instead. Whatever the effect, it has been a good change that will improve the health of the game.

Everyone likes to stack on a winning server, until they’re stuck in a queue for hours.

FSP only queued one map on a Sunday as well.

I mean sure it was 90 man queue on EBG on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but still it was only a measly one map.

my only problem on reset night was it queues hit so quick i waited 45 minutes to get into a borderland and the queue for eb never popped for me and i played four hours so i never got to go with my guild who almost all went to eb. as for fun i have a bigger blast the next day on the borderlands lots of action going on and i squaded for a while and ran with the blurb for a while. im on jq i expect nexts week reset to be a bit more sane i think tons came to see the action and might not be back next week

Next time, maybe employ your guild to have some foresight and go defend the home bl on reset night. Or go raid on enemy bl. You may not “love” the map but there is still plenty of action to be had on reset night and your guild would more easily be together.

Back when this game had the population to support it. We played on bls, not in ebg, ebg was a kitten around map and a map to use at night when pop dwindled. We have that population again, so people should try to go back to bl’s again.

Contrary to belief, the BL’s became dead long before the new maps. I liked Alpine better too but it doesn’t change the fact most of the time was spent circle capping supply camps on an empty map for the last year or so before HOT.

Pair a server with little NA coverage with another server with little NA coverage and say “time-sliced activity levels” were considered. I’m not buying it. -_-

my guild tried to coordinate with the rest of jq server they had server meeting to map out who went where but it did no avail everyone queued eb and those guild who were to go there had either go somewhere else with only half going there which hurt me by the time i decid3d to go somewhere else i hit queue on those too and truthfully i wanted to play with my guildmates who were spread out on all and i like the bls now have no problem with them. it wasnt the bl it was i joined with zerg on bl andc never got to play with my guild cause too many queues

That is just not true. My second account is on Kaineng, and we are paired up with TC right now. There were ques for everything on reset, but last night, only EB had a consistent que, with some really small ques coming up on a BL every now and then. It was pretty easy to get into wvw with TC last night…..even EB. I was in and out of wvw several times last night.

It’s just the stacking on TC in particular that’s so bad. Before the mass invasion of guilds from T1, there were only ever queues around 25 deep on a reset only in EBG. Too many people on the server, now. Sad part is there’s nothing TC could do to prevent it.

Just throwing more players into the mix definitely didn’t help, despite the gains being extremely small, as most very-low-tier servers have barely any presence. Still, the 10 people they might be able to muster in EBG does contribute to queues.

If you are casual, then why care at all? Join borders or EoTM, queue and lazily play. Problem solved.

This. EB and SoS borderland were both queued for a while last night. I am a casual scrub and played on one account for a while in the borderland and when I switched accounts it was queued. I just went to the other borderland and had a ball. Most fun I have had in WvW in months.

Gotta take the opportunity to plug FA here. Like I said, I am a scrub and don’t even know what I am doing sometimes. Not even rank 200 on either account yet. Never had a problem or seen a problem in WvW on FA. The commanders are friendly and helpful and often funny. Despite being friendly, the overall level of play has historically been good too. Great overall gaming environment. Kudos.

I think people should try out the dbl and stop whining about queues in EBG. I am on TC EBG has been queued since patch though was worst on reset.

What amazes me is all the fools who refuse to go to the DBL’s even though there are commanders leading groups on them.

Then come here to whine about queues.

Sorry gonna tell it to you straight. To have a thriving fun wvw queues are a good thing.

Stop being lazy kittens and go familiarize yourself with DBL.

Aside from reset YB is running virtually no queues. JQ has been seemingly absent most of the time as well.

I think this is a problem for BG and TC. IMO queues are the result of stacked servers and the fix is to wait it out or xfer.

Noone has to wait 5 hours. Not even during the wvw tournament on T1 & T2 awhile back. And those ques were much larger than the ones back on Friday reset.

And amazing how you conveniently ignore the comments coming from those of us who also have jobs and lives outside of the game. Casual players who play for an hour or two in the evenings, if that. And I am still getting into wvw in nothing more than 20 minutes, if even that. And that is playing on Kaineng grouped with TC, a T2 server.

Sure, if you insist on trying to play nothing but EB, you might have a bit longer wait. But there is all sorts of action happening across the borderlands, which most of the time don’t even have ques, or very small ones. Tower defense, tower raids, havoc squads, roaming, etc…..it is all there, too, in the borderlands.

But if you insist on whining just to whine, then expect most people to not give your posts much validity or strength.

Carry on, while I enjoy wvw on my T8 server.

Completely agree! The fights/action in the borderlands has been great! And it has been that way on both my accounts….one on FA, and one on Kaineng. Great action and fun, and wonderful to not see ghost towns in the bls anymore!!!!
