Guild Wars 2

Just to wait to get into WvW is inherently wrong. ANET made OVER 120 MILLION in sales and players have to tolerate waits over an hour? Are you kittening serious? This throws off the most experienced of players and is just inexcusable. Use SOME of that money on bandwidth and servers. WTF is wrong with you ANET?

You’re on Blackgate, a tier 2(last I checked) server. They are focused on WvW, what do you expect?

ANET made over 120 MILLION in revenue. What the hell do you think a server costs to operate? There should be ZERO wait. To have culling is lazy and ANY network admin would agree. ANET said “Oh lets filter packets for $$” Look where that lead.

It’s actually fair to have a limit on players in WvW, just like there’s a siege limit. Otherwise you’d have 10,000 people in EB vs 20.

Calm down buddy. Population caps are in place to keep things relatively balanced. You don’t want to wait in queue? Then transfer to a lower tier server.

If you want to limit players in certain maps then add a “next available” to the options. Otherwise you have a three hour wait to get into “what ever crap map” that makes people angry enough to post here.

No, I don’t need to calm down “buddy”. My server is MY server. Deal with the traffic ANET.

There are no queues on my server Hahaha, I don’t care about your queues!

Maybe you should unsubscribe, friendo

Someone has an anger and self entitlement issue. Wanna play on zerg servers then deal with queues. Nothing to be fixed, all working as intended.

60 minutes is all you waited. I used to play on BG for 2 months and remember queues longer then that, plus just wait til all the fairweather players are gone. Reading alittle bit on BG and they have sooo many fairweathers running around capping camps at 10mins til tick not caring about the actually score. I know WvW is for fun, but Tier 1 has a different approach to fun. Anyways transfer servers, get out of tier 1, its a toxic environment to begin with.

If you pay directly for the capital and operational costs (power, maintenance, bandwidth) of your own server, I’m pretty sure Anet would be more than happy to do that for you.

I Hear tell there’s FREE TRANSFERS TO PLACES THAT DON’T HAVE Q’s…

I know right? WTKitten? REALLY?

BG is a super-stacked server now after SoS imploded last time.
60+ mins queue for a T1 server during reset time, that’s normal.
Deal with the queue time if you still wanna play in T1 stacked server.

The wvwvw limit seams somewhat low compared to server size.

A next available option…? Like… you know… the queues…? You put yourself into Blackgate. You suffer the consequences.

Blizzard has terrible launchday etiquette and makes more than Arenanet by a longshot. Don’t say that they owe you anything. You’re playing their game. They’re not hosting yours.

People crying about queues are making me sick. Choose a different server!! My guild picked a nice and stable t3/4/5 server and we never have long queues. And is the quality of play less in non t1/2 servers? Nope! It’s even more fun according to some.

I’m on blackgate, we are in tier 1 btw, not t2. and don’t let one guy make us all look bad. the rest of us comprehend the concept of borderland caps and the reasons behind them., thanks and have a nice day

Yeah, sorry about the T2. I used to be “guesting” on BG before guesting was implemented, and that was when the whole JQ team-up fiasco was going on. I assumed you guys stayed in T2 after dropping.

The whole reason why the OP is making you look bad is because he thinks that the game is his and ANet is hosting it instead of it being ANet’s game and him playing it.

By what measure? The vast majority of servers never hit queues, or hit them on only one of four maps. That makes it seem like a pretty good limit!

I think he’s comparing server size to WvW limit directly. Not including the PvE’rs, the fact that a single server doesn’t handle the entire server/world means that there has to be some sort of limit. Even with the current system in place, there is skill lag occuring due to servers getting 100% cpu usage… and yet people want MORE people to go in. Why? Because they aren’t in the mindless zerg.

Thank u, u made my day xD

lol they made made queues so people don’t just pile onto servers, Ex. t1 servers, of course you’re going to have queues, if you don’t like them then i suggest transferring out of tier 1. Tier 2 really only has that problem and reset nights and the weekends, while tiers 3-8 probably don’t even know what queues are (just kidding, just proving a point)

War is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.

— old military adage.

W.A.I.!

The ques are still having issues, my GM logged on late, qued and was in in 15 minutes. Meanwhile several of us had been on for 45-60 min and still hadn’t gotten in before he even logged on. For the same map. kitten you kin!)

A few had been in que for upwards of 2 hours before I even got on and I got in before them.

You may need reset your que by re logging.

You’re in blackgate a stacked tier 1 server expect it, there are about 15-18 servers below you which would love to have you with minimal queues. Ofcourse there are going to be hour long queues when people decide it’s a good idea to stack 3 servers.

You could always transfer to a lower populated server, and you wouldn’t have queue times.

Blackgates #2 in T1… We have queues during Reset but other than that it’s kitten near non-existant, hell we’re outmanned in 2 BL’s right now

What is this queue you speak of? Must be so nice for your server to not struggle with population and actually have so many folks interested and involved in WvW.

No offense but this is funny coming from SF since you guys are curbstomping FC and ET due to your massive numbers.

First, who said I was referring to my server when I was talking about struggling WvW population? Second, FC and ET just got a huge infusion of WvWers due to free transfers and the fights are FAR more competitive now. Third, unlike higher level servers, all of the T8 servers (including SF) just don’t have the WvW population to see action on all of the WvW maps, even during prime time.

Honestly, given all of the bandwagoners that piled onto the higher rated servers during free transfers and the WvW population struggles and glicko rating issues that the lower tier servers now face as a result, I can’t help but get out the wee little violin for someone from a T1 server posting multiple threads to whine about queue times.

There are plenty of servers without queues. Maybe try a different server if you are unhappy with the queue lengths in T1. T2 rarely has queues other than reset night.

Kaineng generally has 0 queues … up to a couple mins for EB (yes queue in LA)

Reset night usually have 10-15 minute queue on EB and 1 BL, and other 2 BL’s no queues.

Kaineng where its at.

This isn’t a problem any longer. BG really only has the NA forces to queue up two BLs as of late.

Only 60 min ? Lucky you. In prime, I have to wait around 2h30-3h for each map, once it even took 4h to have the message for EBG (fortunately I was on a borderlands). Useless to say : no WvW during prime :P

Believe it or not last weeks reset when I logged in late pst time zone FA didn’t have a que on any map and that was reset day lol

….1st Tier problems

This post is now irrelevant for Blackgate
We always have 1-2 Borderlands without Queue during the week.
And @ Reset peak 15-20 mins would be the longest wait if you Queue all BL’s, which i suspect will further reduce, given the new EU friendly reset timing.

ArenaNet made the same mistake as every other MMORPG developer throughout the history of gaming:

They underestimated the popularity of open world PvP.

Do your daily in the 60 min, make some gold, transfer to a lower tier, never clog up the internets with que qq again.

Someone please delete/lock this thread, its pointless.

This so much. Anet didn’t force him on BG and there were free transfers to medium pop servers. But then, someone will have to find something new to complain about….<looks at 85% of forum threads> oh wait.

ANET should troll this guy by giving him a free transfer (without warning) to FC.

-K

Pop caps are there because the maps are tiny and the game couldn’t handle more anyways. I agree it’s bullkitten, but you get what you pay for… b2p ftw

The OP plays a Ranger. The queue did his server a favor, he should be grateful.

120 million in revenue is a flat number. Since there’s no pay-to-play setup like there is on WoW, they don’t have the money coming in to just spend on things. They have to prioritize and hope people give them money back through the purchase of gems and expansions.
