Guild Wars 2

Hi I recently started playing and joined a friend on a small server. I am really enjoying myself but i have heard a lot of people move to bigger servers andsit in line for a long time just to get on a map and then once they do its basically edge of the mists but wvw…so my question is why would a big wvw guild choose to move up and sit in a queue as a number rather then just fight hard and try to prove their guild can make a difference on their server? Isnt it more fun to play the game rather then sit and wait? Is there any perks to a bigger server other then just more ppl to fight? (Which i am seeing plenty to fight on small servers)

Don’t believe the stories, even on T1 servers queues are quite small these days, maybe with the exception of YB on reset.

What does quite small mean to you? Befause on my server i have never seen a wait

A few minutes <15 chars>

On SFR (EU) Tier 1 yesterday at primetime there was only a queue on EB and one Border of about 10 people, all other borders were queue free.

Tier 1 reset queue are crazy long but after that its not too bad. But something to understand that a map that is queue’d will have the zvz and the other maps will be for the most part empty and boring if you find zvzvz fun.
tier 1 has lots of benefits there is really good commander coverage and almost always have a zerg in one of the maps and usually lots of action.

Most servers don’t have long quest at all, usually the quest are for 1 map with the exception of reset. Even on reset most servers are no longer than a 5 min wait. Servers that have big quest are few and far between. I’ve played in all tiers the que’s and times are greatly exaggerated, but if your enjoying your smaller population server then by all means keep enjoying it.

Map queues at the moment are deceiving, with many guilds/players taking a month off before HoT launch. It will fill up pretty quickly again once that launches, and the queues will be back. The more full a server now, the longer the queues will be at the start of the new expansion.

Wonder if we’ll go back to the days of 2 hour queue times?

Thank god we won’t get any f2p players. We actually might get in map during prime time after HoT launch. Treb cows will fly 24/7. Meh i probably just raid and decorate guild hall.

In 2+ years of playing I’ve experienced 3 or so queues totalling approximately 6 minutes. There’s something to be said for being small.

played RoS and UW …never seen a que..dont even know how it looks….

maybe a screenshot just in case i should have missed it

My observation is people transfer to run away from their problems. Grass is greener and all that.

How many fights you get does vary from time zone to time zone though.

What do you mean get in map

F2p players can get into EoTM easy. Only need lvl 60!

Stop implying you play REAL WvW when you only karma train in EoTM

I plan to play normal wvw when we get map that is as good as EotM. New borderland looks worth playing. Let’s hope that there is lot’s of funny mechanics.

There is a kinda queue system in PvP if you really like that kinda thing. Or move to the UK apparently we like queueing
