Guild Wars 2

The WvW que is absolutely ridiculous. WTF is wrong with you ANET? You have had OVER 120 million in revenue from GW2 yet I have to wait OVER 2 hours for WvW? You wonder why players stop playing? This is why.

Considering the new upgrade has revitalized the game, I’m not surprised. Are you trying all the borderlands too, or just EB?

What do you expect? You expect there to be no cap so the massive JQ and BG forces can bring their entire server into WVW? The caps and queues are there to promote balanced matches.

It was like this at release too. Eternal and your home map has the longest wait. Start in one of the others, then when in, que home or eternal if that’s what you were aiming for. Still a long wait, but at least you can do something while you wait… after you wait.

Otherwise play more on weekdays or off hours. Friday starts the match and is usually loaded at peak.

Negative. There isn’t one other MMO that you have to wait like this. ANET needs to make multiple instances or figure something else out. The wait is ridiculous and ANYONE that apologizes for ANET is crazy. Simply make 2 instances of this map and be done with it. There should be minimal wait. Period. I cannot believe that players actually stand up for ANET in this matter. It’s crazy.

It is the Friday after the new patch which dealt directly with WvW. Give it time, today is the peak day for WvW for a lot of guilds. It will get better this weekend and next week.

“simply”? I don’t see that working in any way, shape or form. I just do other things while I’m waiting, que as soon as I get in if that’s what I plan to do. Months there have hardly ever been a que, no reason to marginalize the whole system to a bunch of instances because some people want now-now-now gaming. These matches run for a whole week, a bunch of instances would just make it all a big joke… like spvp.

Did they add some pointless carrot reward to get everyone upset about discovering que now or something? With the new shiny laurls carrot added to do spvp monthly, I would think wvw would be forgotten by many of the non-regulars there. Though I guess it’s been a few days so most laurels are already acquired..

Um… sry they made wvw fun for more ppl? Wait if the Que is so long that means its full i think that means ppl are not quitting it. Also this is the wrong places to post this lol.

“carrot” The new it word.

You’re having to wait because of other players, if everyone who wanted to play in WvW got in at once, it would be horrendous.

Ah the days back at the start of the game where I had to wait 3 hours for a queue pop and by the time it actually did I would be so busy doing other things I had to close it.

Seriously, reset night plus new WvW stuff plus large server equals large queue times. Unhappy about it, transfer to a smaller server.

ANet can’t change the setup they have. When free transfers were ending everyone on mid-tier servers panicked and flooded to tier 1 and 2 servers, so they’re vastly overpopulated.

They’ve dont this free tranfer to medium servers week and at least so far, Henge of Denravi has been having some pretty fun WvW since it happened IMO. We’re not a T1 server at all, but I just want fun competition, not to be the best.

tl;dr: You’re on a T1 server, it comes with the territory. Deal with it.

You mean that the recently updated WvW is full on a Friday night? Sounds like ANet is doing something right.

“carrot” The new it word.

Yeah “carrot”, when you string a reward/carrot to a ~fishing pole and lure players/bunnies to your trap… or unused game area. To draw people in by reward, like laurel farming in spvp etc. Many mmo’s have done it for years.

Anyhoot, ran the que around mid-late peak. OMG the wait, 5 minutes..
But, nothing special. No real carrots. Just some increase against npc’s, defense and damage, and siege weapon type modifiers. Took my grenade kit engi, 20 kills – 2 losses, got somewhere thru rank two. Was still a bit slow in high congested battles, mainly in garrison… which accounted for one of my losses as climbing up the stairs after taking the door down I dropped to like 0.2fps lol (yes 5-sec a frame). But otherwise was a bit smoother when not standing in a structure with 250 other players in front of me and all popping of big AOE’s. Probably take my thief commander in this weekend.

But glad they didn’t use any real carrots, and no for it being over populated especially on a Friday. It’s all working just fine.

Some people like the queues. We like knowing that we are fighting roughly even forces. thats just one reason why we’re on T1 servers.

If you want more room in the maps than you have players just go to T8. Server transfers there are free right now.

Now you can play your non-capped maps and I can play my capped maps and we can all be happy without having to take away what either of us like about the game.

The other server’s borderlands are also instances. Did you try them?

Many people have transfered to high tier servers and this massive number of players create queues. The caps are good and should be there. Anet does not have to ruin the whole system just so one player should be happy. If OP wants no queues, then your best approach is to transfer to low tier servers, like the ones being offered for free now. Both ET and FC need some extra players.

Actually they offered free transfers to lower population servers- which would solve having a wvw queue. I rarely get a queue and it is always eb and is maybe for 5 mins.

I logged in, realized wait time was longer than I would normally play at any one time (2hrs), and logged out. I enjoy WvW but having to wait that long is not practical. If they were going to revamp the WvW gameplay, they should have factored coping with extra demand into the plan.

Improve the situation or lose players – it’s really that simple.

Lol, what you expect, it is holiday (weekend) in all over the world. Most people can online at these days more than in weekdays (including they can play overtime). Of course this will make server becomes crowded thus long queue happen.

For analogy, its almost like amusement park. In weekdays, there will be no queue, but in weekend/holiday ? You will find a long queue.

Does Anet to fix this ? Maybe for queue system bug, but no if they should make another map (you should see in weekdays, there is (almost) no queue in all 4 BL (including EB). Adding a map is just a waste.). Lets back to my analogy, does it logical if amusement park (easily) adding 1 more roller coster just because they have a long queue in weekend ? (they can make wvw overflow. But who want to play wvw overflow).
Bigger map ? Even bigger map like Harathi/Frostgorge/Iron Marches has it limits (I believe its not over 150). This is limitation of engine. Except they build the engine from scrap, this limit will always will be there.

Does it mean you should not queue WvW in weekend ? No. You may queue for WvW, but you need to be more patient in weekend. (As in my analogy an amusement park. If you want to ride something (in weekend), you must prepare for a long queue.)

Holiday weekend on a tier 1 server? I would be complaining if there weren’t queues.

It’s easier said then done. How will the scoring work in these overflow WvWvW maps ?
It easy to come up with random ideas, but actually implementing them is a different story.
