Guild Wars 2

Hello there.

So, to the point, ill just begin by pointing out the obvious. We all know how bad the queue times are presently, especially in the T1 servers. I know that most of you are accustomed to 3 hour queue’s to get into EB. These queue times are nothing to what we’re going to be waiting in the future. I don’t know how many of you know this, but as point of fact, gw2 is currently being developed for the Chinese, and will be released soon.

Now, its excellent to see that more people will be introduced to gw2. However, I would now like all of you to think of the current state of gw2 WvW, mainly the skill lag and the queue’s.
Now I want you to imagine how bad these things will be once another billion people are introduced to the potential of becoming apart of the community. So, to the head of my point, more people are going to be drawn to gw2 because its such an amazing game. The WvW world servers need to be improved! If the cap for WvW is not increased with better performing servers, then we could be looking at queue’s of up to six hours. I believe the new “edge of the mists” map will give idle WvW players something to do in these queue’s, but once this new population is introduced to the game, the edge of the mists is as close as the average gamer, who cant afford 6 hours of waiting time, will ever get to real WvW. And those lucky people who do, will have to wait another 6 hours for their number 1 skill to go off.

Now, I haven’t spent hours researching all these facts, If i have gotten anything incorrect, please correct me. If iv missed anything please enlighten me. Because tbh, my main drive for making this thread is so that someone can inform me Im wrong, or there’s a solution that Iv overlooked.

Discuss.

que times are only bad on t1. the t2 and below have modest que’s if at all so the solution is to not be on t1.

I thought they were getting their own set of servers because of the anticipated influx of players and will have nothing to do with the EU/NA existing game?

Perhaps this is true? As I said, im looking for more info on this.

Every thread i have read here. All of them say how long queue in EB is. Have you actually queue other maps ?. Most of hardcore wvwer dont really care which map they go. It kinda makes me think these threads are from pve er.

ppl who have been in T1 for long. These queue are actually nothing new >> it’s more like reminding the good old days though

Do these 30 min+ queues actually exist, or is it another case of people not being able to count, like the 20 man blobs? Because not since HoD at launch has queue exceeded half an hour, even on weekends…

MMOs (and gaming in general) are usually strictly regulated in China. While there are ways around it, companies outside of China can’t own companies inside China. Games played inside China can not use resources outside of The Great Firewall™

So, I would expect a zero impact on the way we (as non-Chinese) play this game. I would expect them to have their own servers.

China is getting their own set of servers cut off from the rest of the world. Anet has confirmed this, I cant be bothered to go dig it up right now as its extremely late.

china will likely have their servers isolated from the rest of us. their government like to control things….

I was in queue today from when we finished guild missions at ~4pm until I gave up and logged off at ~7:45. By my count that’s 3 hours and 45 minutes. A number of my guildies were queued for less than 30 minutes (while I was still waiting) and some were waiting with me the entire time. The queues are entirely arbitrary and yes, they really are over 30 min for lots of people.

Get into EB? hahahahahaha
Good one.

Been able to get into EB twice since leagues started.
3 hr queue for Home BL

Not only do they have their own servers, but you’ve got to look at the positive side. Think of China as a MASSIVE injection of $$. More money means a bigger team. Bigger team means more developments. The WvW population might make up the same 20% that the NA and EU servers do, but that’s still big numbers.
