Since the reset on Friday I have not been able to enter EB despite various attempts throughout the weekend. I’ve tried at different times, requeued every 15-20mins, different toons, but nothing worked. I would generally log out after 90-120 min waits, when I would run out of things to do while waiting. I fail to understand why after buying a product you are unable to actually use it. Is anyone else as frustrated with this issue as I am. And please refrain from providing the usual mindless answer of “change servers”. After being on this server for close to a year now I would rather avoid leaving my guild and friends for something that shouldn’t be such a problem. What are we going to experience once the leagues begin??? I’ve begun to notice that more and more toons are left in EB afk but running in place to avoid having to queue again. This appears to be to only solution since Anet is unable to address this issue.
I really don’t expect any answers but had to vent my frustrations at being incapable of participating in the only aspect of this game I enjoy. I tried to get an answer directly from Anet but was told to post my problem in the forum. So I guess that if I run into a problem with my car I should avoid going to the dealer and simply try to get an answer on Facebook or Twitter.

I started on JQ… had good friends there and all my guild.

Queues were bad. guild could not play with each other… small guild of PvP players broke up or moved. I moved to Kaineng because if I just sat there and complained about the Queues without doing anything about it… i would be hypocritical.

Move to a lower tier server… that is all you can do. Blame Anet for letting free transfers exist for so long… and blame players because they want to stack for easy wins.

Please get your priorities straight Anet.
Stat increase = gear grind.
Gear grind = no money from me ever again.

On JQ, the queue for EB right after reset was 30 mins, an hour later, it was two hours and then around 11pm EST it was 30 mins again.

I’m really not seeing that much of an issue with a queue on reset for EBG, hop into a BL then queue for EBG if you’re itching for some slaughter.

Maybe your server mates shouldn’t have spent all that gold bring more people to your already over populated server. I feel bad for you, tragic really.

What would anet so? Increase the map cap? Lol

While theres servers needing more people, theres servers like this, with people unable to play as they like because of queues. Transfer to low tiers, get your guild involved if the queues irritate you that bad. You’d be doing everyone a favor

People have emigrated to “stacked” servers, of which JQ is one, for the WvW bonuses. Tough luck, mate.

go for a lower tier server and the problem is solved. Everyone hops in for easy wins and lots of kills, but the wvw experience is much better without blobbing around on full maps.

I understand the OP, why should he wait 3 hours while he is in that server for over a year and helped building a community made friends, and now HE need to leave?

No Anet.. No no no.. That is just wrong, and I hope you guys see that too.

There must come a system that put loyal server players infront of a Queue and pushes transferred people a place behind.

The situation how it is now is just bad.

For example someone on Vabbi does play the game casual and likes to wvw a bit for time to time, but doesn’t care about the insane large fights.. And then suddently the server gets swarmed by a 500 man guild and other guilds gonna sit in that server too…

Now that player needs to wait 2-3 hours to play 30 minutes of casual WvW? That is not fair.

Also I rememberd a dev post from before launch of GW2 with something like: " You must pick your server wisely, because you can only choose it once " no idea who said that and you can correct me if im wrong.

Just put loyal server players infront of the Queue.

Or you could expand that elitism and just allow people in with high wvw ranks first, and work it’s way down.

I think it would just be better all around if there was an actual timer on the queues, that way people would know how long and be able to go and do other things in the meantime.

Like EBG Queue 1 hour, Red BL Queue 17 mins, Green BL Queue 28 mins.. etc.

The issue with timers is that it would be hard to give an accurate reading because you can’t predict when a player is going to log out and free up a space. I’d love to have something like that, but can’t see how they could accurately do it.

Hi Raoul.

Currently JQ is facing severly underpopulated servers. Due to this, the only place we have a rare chance of seeing an enemy player in your timezone is EB, hence why everyone and their grandmother is queued up for that place. In the same time, the 3 borderlands don’t seem to be having troubles with long queues.
You said you requeue every 15 minutes, maybe you should try to wait a bit longer, since you’re basically giving up your spot in the queue every time.
After 30mins it usually pops and you can get EB map completion done.

I hope for you and all our sakes, that Anet get their heads out of their kitten and fix these matchups so T1 only faces T1 and occasionally TC.

Been in EB with no issue since Friday reset. You should try to queue from Asura Gate with party members that are already in. If you can’t get any party members that are already inside, communicate more as there are plenty of people in EB (obviously).

Or perhaps, Queue God just hates you.

About a month or so ago I queued 8 hrs both on Saturday & Sunday, so 16 hrs+ total trying to get into EB. Neither day did I manage to get in…

I am on Seafarer’s Rest (EU), apparently some ‘clever’ folks had organised a GvG there for the weekend…some of the regular WvW players were fuming because they were not defending anything so we lost our T3 keep and all our T3 towers. Which if at least a few of the regular WvW players had been able to get in would not have happened…

Not anyone but Anet’s fault really, they decided on league and mass transfer happened. All the WvW match ups recently have been extremely unpleasant to play in. Population disparity is simply too huge. There are no more defense/strategy, its all a pvdoor/zergfest now.

Poor OP, you were so close too, on the tip of your tongue. You knew there was an issue, but couldn’t put your finger on it.

I think the new meta should be … minimalist the BL’s … make the super servers pay through queues.

Super server v normal server v normal server

well you would have a point if the OP just used his brain. Instead of him queing up for the other 3 bls that from what i been told were insta pop, he continued to QUe for EB and cried about the que.

In tier 1 you can be a noob at queuing.

Don’t forget … if you on voice comms and your friends who queue after you, and get in before (should laugh, but…) not my point. You may need to re log. We’ve had people queue, get blocked for a long time. Only to have others come and pop in in minutes.

Good thing TC has 0 queues in general, or a minimal 5 min wait for EBG
