Guild Wars 2

When will be the charts for NA realms be released?

Riverside loves it’s Eternal-queue!

Nice to see you have queue times recorded. So next step is to put estimated queue times in UI

So late on Tuesday evening, Arborstone was more desperate to get into the Underworld borderlands than on to any other map, including EB? Blimey.

Well this explains kinda well why Vizunah is on the top and why we (Desolation) are getting ourkitten kicked

I believe the time zone listed is UTC, but I’m not 100% sure about that.

Is this a joke?

Well if they beat you during prime time it does not explain anything as you all have max players in borderlands ..

As for their French Canadian players capping everything during night .. thats another story.

During prime time the servers with less ques should be the top one if the guilds they have on are any good as that means you got majority of players in.

Having 200+ ques only mean you cant get all your members on the same map eg worse gameplay.

Shows that Vizunah Square has by FAR the longest queue times of their match-up. Hope this puts things in perspective.

They don’t beat anything in prime time. If you look at those graphs the queues on Friday and Saturday were EVEN between Shiverpeak and Vizunah and guess what happened? Shiverpeak OWNED Vizunah on friday AND saturday then Vizunah came back on sunday, monday, tuesday with night capping and massive number advantage.*

If you look at the graph on 17.09.2012 Shiverpeaks has 0 queue from 12:30AM to 8AM and Vizunah has FULL QUEUE from 12:30 AM to 7AM then 7AM to 8AM no queue then rest of the day QUEUE again. I think this graph and what happened on this entire week speaks for itself on how Vizunah won the match up.

Since when 1150 people in queue is higher than 1500 people in queue? Learn to read a graph, VS has more queue (much more), than any server at all times.

Yeah these graphs shows that your guilds owns our pick up on prime time, nice for you.

But we still OWNWTFBBQ you by 100k + points at the end.

More queue = more useless people = less guilds / alliances with teamplay

instead of complaining about “night crews” and such, why don’t you just try and attract an international guild/alliance instead?

Because guilds lose their upgrades. And it’s a known fact that US guilds or Oceanic guilds refuse to join EU servers.

You are a stupid troll proven by your stupid image. good bye

Are you going to cry now? Why don’t you ask your server to stop fly hacking to take the orbs instead?
Cause you know we can open a tons of thread saying that everyday some cheaters from FS took all the orbs and fly them back to their keep.
Personnaly i think that cheating is more lame than nightcapping, what about you?

Thanks for the data we long to know how you see these numbers and what you plan for the future.

We all know that in the current state it is impossible to play in guild on a full server during primetime.

Queue sizes and their histories are totally something that should make it into the Extended Experience

Hmm that’s interesting.
Wish Desolation had more “nightguards” as we call them.

Shows how ridiculous it is an idea of 24/7 battleground with no mechanics to balance the imbalance in population at off times. I bet the “top” servers will end up being those servers who have most time covered by queues.

@Hissatsu.
Shows that you have no clue to what WvW is about. sPvP is there for you, you just join or ask for bigger bg if they are too small for you.

For the love of all that is good, start pitting servers with similer que times throughout the day. IT SINT FUN to have a server tyhat has a great deal more night-crew than you and everything you worked for, literally EVERYTHING is gone by morning.

If you want that 30% to continue, please balance by que time of day as PRIORITY over server point accumulation. *

learn to read, it’s a queue size graph, not counting the people inside the WvW (which are normaly egal with each servers). Meaning it’s worst for Vizunah player to get in.

The interesting bit is cross-referencing where server A has a queue to get into a given map but server B doesn’t. Those are, obviously, the times when server A has max pop on the map and server B is outnumbered.

Learn to think? The graphs show that VS has a queue to EB for pretty much the entire 24 hours, meaning VS has maximum players on EB playing all the time. That is clearly not the case for either FS or Desolation. You can see that the other 3 maps also feature a longer timeframe of maximum players on the map than FS or Deso. During prime times, FS tends to hold the biggest tally points with VS and desolation alternating places. It is more probable that without night capping, FS would be leading in score. Now I don’t know how much Canadians are playing on VS or whether it’s true that university starts in October for the French, but I guess we’ll see about that soon. Can’t comment on flying hacks by FS, I play on Desolation. Although I do know that because of some bug we couldn’t cap Desolation Garrison yesterday so FS didn’t even need to stay inside the keep to defend.

While the data only represents queue length, you can draw more than one conclusion from that data. In this case, whenever the queue length drops to zero, it means that the number of players in the game is less than or exactly equal to the maximum. How much of a number advantage at any given moment obviously isn’t expressed, but it is most likely proportional to the length of time between the queue being greater than zero. All you can say is that for the time periods where it is greater than zero, the teams are numerically evenly matched (however one team will most likely hold most of the map and all of the orbs from the night before). Vizunah Square are fielding a full server on EB 23 hours a day, compared to about 18 hours for desolation (interestingly a difference of 5 hours, which is the same as the time zone difference between France and Canada)

So… any chance we can get this data in csv form? :P

Quick analysis of the data for Monday 17th September as it relates to the Underworld/Arborstone/Jade Sea match (approximate times only). In context of this post, ‘outnumbered’ is when one server has max pop and the other doesn’t.

On Underworld Borderlands:
Arborstone outnumbers Jade Sea for 6 hours
Underworld outnumbers Arborstone for 2 hours and Jade Sea for 7 hours
Jade Sea outnumbers nobody

On Jade Sea borderlands:
Arborstone outnumbers Jade Sea for 5 hours and Underworld for 8 hours
Jade Sea outnumbers Underworld for 4 hours
Underworld outnumbers nobody

On Arborstone borderlands:
Arborstone outnumbers Jade Sea for 8 hours; Underworld never achieves max pop
Jade Sea outnumbers nobody

On Eternal Battlegrounds:
Arborstone outnumbers Jade Sea for 3 hours and Underworld for 3 hours
Jade Sea outnumbers nobody
Underworld outnumbers nobody

If nothing else, this rather proves that the whole ‘ermagherd Jade Sea is seekrit ally of Arborstone’ rumour is a load of bullkitten.

Hi !
can we have this graph in real time( by a synchro server), for help us to choose the borderlan with less queue?

thx.

- About 3% of the total players who logged in and queued never got in.

Well, it’s not exactly a lie. It is misleading as hell though.

So VS has the biggest queue from all server including NA and EU.

This data should be used, along with the relative rankings to pit proper servers against each other. Or at least be brought into the consideration.

Lol, and you’re proving us that your premades that managed to get everyone inside the battlegrounds “off-prime” time, owned what? empty zones? And its not like on prime-time they did not had alot of pugs also queueing (as you can see on the graphs). Don’t really understand you bro.

Guess you’re just proving their point that you only won because of having people online/queueing all around the clock.
And i’m not even from Desolation/Shiverpeaks… its just that your logic beats me lol

As far as i can see Riverside [DE] and VS should be fighting each other mostly since there’s people queueing all around the clock there.

Desolation has no real guild presence in WvW. There’s like max two guilds that try to WvW seriously, but even they haven’t been on much.

That needs something a bit more difficult to obtain. They would need the ability to predict how long someone is going to stay. Unless they start kicking people out after a certain amount of time but nobody would like that.

queue time can be estimated by how long the last person to enter or first person in queue has been waiting since he got in.

Well, considering that Piken Square queues are always very small and considering Ring of Fire and Vabbi ones, our 20k difference to Rof and 120k to Vabbi don’t sound that bad !
Too bad that Miller’s Sound, our current opponent, has got even larger queues…oh well, 3rd place here we go again!

If that would be the case, then you should see other peak in queue. But they just are not. It is just one block which covers a larger amount of time which can be explained by a larger queue. Larger queue means it will take longer for queue to fade out so in the end, more time covered.

May we have newer data about this, please ?
Thank you.

boarderlands need more points/objectives so they can attract more players.

What’s up with Ruins of Surmia? And Fissure of Woe is almost just as bad.

RoS and FoW servers have fallen victim of the free transfers. Each week players transfer to the 3rd lowest server to experience satisfaction of massive overpower against these two servers. That has lead to people no longer playing on RoS and FoW and WvW guilds transferring out for more balanced match ups.

Necrod for EU, this would be awesome to show the real “stacked” servers and give newbies an idea on where to start.

Necro bump. This would be good data for analysis of the current or near current server activity.
