Guild Wars 2

ok, so the Q’s for T1 NA about 15 minutes in are:

JQ/IOJ = EB 94, JQBL 34, BGBL 14, YBBL 24, OS -
BG/ET = EB 155, JQBL 65, BGBL 62, YBBL 53, OS 2
YB/AR = EB 89, JQBL 39, BGBL 52, YBBL 42, OS -

How’s the other Tiers working ?

WoW, OS is queued, bg is monster.

Beastgate – ACTIVATE!

But seriously though, those Q times look painful.

Wish I could be part of the chaos but alas still no connected internet. BAH.

This grouping of servers is terrible. 20 minutes in queue I gave up. Frankly I don’t want to be a blob drone either. Give me my little Borlis Pass back please. Until this grouping ends I will no longer be in WvW… This Gold General, ranked 2224 (means I’m a die hard wvw person … or was ) .. says goodbye for now to WvW. If this is what the majority wants then that’s all good… but seriously it’s not for me. Being a blob drone is bad enough… queuing up for ages and ages to be what I don’t want to be is worse… my new warrior name is: Bye Wvw Love Tim Have fun all… see you in PvE if you know me…

Please adjust the pairings more dynamically and more quickly, the queues are messed up because of leaked information. There some stacking going on still that should have been fixed with the pairings.

Dh/FC tier 4 – 38 16 13 13. Smallest tier getting 4 queues on reset lol.

So Tier 8 ET, basically set as the “visiting server” up in the T1 class pretty much got their Guilds locked out of WvWvW. Went from having that couple of hours at a set time that we all get together (at least mine and a couple of other guilds, not all ET guilds) and WvWvW, we now have to spend that time do PVE instead, NOT what we really looked forward to in our time together.

In my opinion, the pairings were poorly done. Small servers don’t want huge big server BLOB battles and queue times. If we did, we would have transferred off years ago. But no, we stuck with our small servers (yes, larger pops would be nice but not MAX population). ET just pretty much lost their identity in WvWvW.

Now this is the first night, so maybe it will calm down later on, but if this is a normal Friday/Saturday night thing, then I’m pretty sure our WvW fun has ended.

Top tiers should have been left alone. Mid tiers, I don’t have any idea what should have been done. Bottom Tiers should have been Linked up as a test for merging to see how it all fit together.

Here’s an update a midnight 12am est
Q’s for T1 NA
JQ/IOJ EB 42, JQBL 16, BGBL -, YBBL -, OS -
BG/ET EB 100, JQBL 40, BGBL 30, YBBL 46, OS -
YB/AR EB 50, JQBL 25, BGBL 23, YBBL 41, OS -

editing to add being outnumbered on BG BL already.
BG’s been raiding, raiding the fridge!

As I mention in another thread, balanced coverage took the Worlds staff work, a lot of work. The Dev’s tossing everyone together is not pleasant for Q’s.

Last night at 7:31 PST

Not too bad of a wait for the borderlands really. If you want to dodge the queues, be there before reset in Lion’s Arch and keep an eye on when it resets.

The Day after

7:54pm est/ NA prime starting
Q’s for T1 NA
JQ/IOJ EB -, JQBL -, BGBL -, YBBL -, OS -
BG/ET EB 35, JQBL -, BGBL 5, YBBL -, OS -
YB/AR EB -, JQBL -, BGBL -, YBBL -, OS -

I’m guessing people were assuming Q’s and didn’t bother showing up yet.

9pm est/ NA prime

keeping this thread going, will be interesting to look back on.

Really seems like NA should have been reduced to 5 matches, not 4.

Dev balance? Dev bias?

BG guilds are mostly avoiding EBG at the moment.. but it seems like returning players, new players, and duelers mostly want to play on ebg, so its pushing ebg into a map queue, which is kinda rough on some of our friends on ET who prefer not playing on the borderlands for obvious reasons..

If Anet cared about balance, BG should never been paired with ET to begin with. Right now EB has a 41 man Q.
