Guild Wars 2

Having JP as part of the achievement is going to have people spending a lot of extra time clogging up the queues. Get rid of those achievements and it should help the queue at least a little bit.

The other alternative is to make the achievements far easier so we can get rid of the scrubs blocking up the queues because they’ll have their achievements.

are you talking about BLs JP or EB JP ?

All of them need to be removed- but then we’ve been saying that since release and the only change so far has been to remove the EB one from counting as a player AFTER they have queued to get in, blocking up the queue, and then finally when they saunder over to the entrance and enter…

Hell make it a separate game with it’s own rewards – they love to give huge rewards for JP completion, make it so you have to earn it with it’s own little league of ‘I can gank best in JP’s’.

Just remove them.

I’d have to agree and disagree at the same time. The smaller ones take about 5 minutes max to do, and as long as players do something else afterwards, no problems. However, if all they do is hop in a world to get that one thing and leave, they’re wasting time for someone else in the queue. They could cram all four together, make it a bit like conquest for people who want to pvp but also like the added benefit of vertical combat and jumping puzzles.

They take 5 minutes to do, if you are able to complete JP’s quickly and IF there is no one there waiting to pull you off, kill you, blah blah. For others, they can take hours and this clogs up the queue even more.

Borderlands.

AFAIK the EB one doesn’t take queue slots except for a minute or so while you make your way to the OS JP entrance.

When I see Mesmers in a borderlands JP saying they are running ports in the JP it brings back bad memories of the old days of PvE guys blocking up WvW to get badges for their legendaries.

Good on the mesmers for doing this though – it helps clear out the PvE players faster.

yeah, JP section of the BL should get something like the EB one, its own instance. ANET , take note.

..and make the entrance at spawn…

Yeah let’s not kid ourselves – we all know it isn’t 5 minutes for most players – it’s easy once you do it a lot but most new players take quite a while. It takes even longer if there are hostiles in there that you have to deal with.

Joining the JP into 4 is a good idea but I am suggesting quick fixes that don’t require 3+ months of coding and testing.
