Guild Wars 2

If they would have taken the time to devise a better system for queues instead.

All the things they sat down and looked at and tried to fix, it seems WvW queues were completely overlooked. WoW did queues. Why doesn’t GW2 have a FFA zone that can only be entered into while waiting for the WvW queue? Or something in that regard, like Guild vs. Guild or some other form of world-ish combat that can keep players occupied waiting for WvW. Heck, even recycle the same maps like an overflow server, and make each tower worth only 1 point. Something to do, but when the ‘real’ queue pops, you join that server.

And join as a group! kittenitten I hate waiting for 1hr to get in, only to have a friend log on and now he has to wait 1hr to get in, and then by the time everyone is in game it’s time to log off.

Actually less of a rant than that, it’s been really good, but there needs to be some top-end polish which I know will come in time.

Queues is something that got invented to put too many people on the same servers. DAoC for example didnt have a queue.

Queues are perfectly fine.

The actual problem is people staying on massively over populated servers.

Whats more fun, waiting 1-5 hours to play WvW where you MIGHT be able to play with friends, or instant queues on one of the losing servers and getting fights immediately with all your friends.

Hrm…

Well there’s always the mid-range servers which have moderate queues in some lands and no queues in others and you have an equal chance of winning or losing.

Like us in Tarnished Coast.

Problem with that is they might lose and not get to see their colour fill a pie chart. They might have to uselessly beat their faces against superior numbers all night long and get nowhere.

You can see why its preferable to sit in queue for six hours and not get to pvp at all.

Oh and they will lose the 5000 IP they have invested in to their 4 man guild.
