Guild Wars 2

3-5 hours queue at primetime to play some WvW, this whole WvW season is one big mistake Arenanet!!!!!

Should just remove the AP next time.

people complain nobody plays wvw, people complain too many people play wvw, people want to get into wvw ahead of others because they are “higher ranked” or played the game longer, people play wvw only for achivements, people afk in wvw in spawn.
well kitten me

This has no nothing to do with being higher ranked or having higher priority because a person plays the game longer. Having to wait 3-5 hours to even get into WvW is just plain stupid. Arenanet already stated that the queue issues atm with WvW arent priority wich cleary shows again Arenanet never have and never will prioratize the issues within WvW. Not even mentioning the HORRIBLE skilllag once your in WvW and the bugs that have been in WvW since day 1…

hey, look on the bright side, you have the round the clock coverage you always wanted lol!

I kinda doubt and hope that those who are complaining are regular wvw players, because they should know better.

Anyways thats the cost of stacking servers but soon you can enjoy the new overflow map in a couple of months i guess. Until then suck it up or transfer to lower tier.

Que’s don’t work properly. Right now the definition of the WvW que sytem would be:

lot·ter·y [lot-uh-ree] : any happening or process that is or appears to be determined by chance.

“Queues will be fixed as part of the new map. They will continue to operate as they have since launch until then. The queue does not function as a typical queue and we are fixing it. It will just take some time. It has been a lower priority than the other things we have done and we’ve only now been able to devote the appropriate resources to it.”

Well, sounds like you really need to transfer off your stacked server. On SBI, we had queues on EB, and our BL most the day. We also queued FA BL for a short time. Reset was the only night we had crazy queues.

And no, don’t remove the AP. People have been asking for a reason for people to keep playing when they are getting beat, and so now they have AP to work for. Plus, the wvw ap takes forever to get, atleast now we have something we can actually achieve.

T1 servers should’ve thought about this situation, before they started recruiting, and in some cases, buying guilds to help them compete during the leagues. Everyone knew there was gonna be achievements tied to the leagues, ever since they were announced.

Quit complaining about queues. They are adding that map, and it will be here the beginning of next year. Until then, you have to suck it up, transfer, or don’t play wvw.

Maybe you shouldn’t join super stacked servers…

They’re fixing the queue system and bringing in an overflow map early next year. They’re working on it.

Are these queue complaints from lower tier servers? I don’t get it. Im used to queues on weekends after reset. I presume everyone else in T1 is as well. We don’t even have queues on most of our maps tonight and if there is, its like a 2-3 minute queue.

The que’s are indeed insane, last night i was que’d to join my guild in holding and defending dreaming bay for over 4 hours… i never got in.

Anet, please hurry up with the overflow thing, becouse without, i think you wil recieve ALOT of ranting just like this topic (or worse)

Oh come on, only because A-Net said something, they will probably do, doesn’t mean
it will actually work out. They just give starving ppl a crumb of bread – I just remember the thing about skill-laggs and balancing etc. Yeah sure, they’re working on it… since how many months?
I honestly do not believe anything anymore coming from A-Net.

Put 50% of the WvW population into 3 out of 24 servers = threads like this

Is Anet now putting people in servers too? We already have the problem of the 1000’s of opportunists all voluntarily flocking 3 servers despite warning after warning that that might be foolish.

my queues in fa are between 0-max 30 min atm. i like the ap system. finally we are getting some reward for wvw. u must be on a t1 server then

My queue record is about 3 hours. Normally I can get in in 0min-1hour. I want Anet should improve this queue system.

Yes i am on a T1 server and yes we had queue’s before this new season started BUT not queue’s that took 3-5 hours. I simply cant understand how Arenanet can put out new PvE content EVERY 2 weeks and not been able to fix things within WvW. Arenanet shows time and time again that WvW isnt their top priority. Why havent they fixed the siege building bug that have been an issue in WvW since day 1, and dont tell me to switch weapons when i am stuck after building because i am an Elementalist. Why havent they been able to improve skillag while Arenanet promised MONTHS ago to improve this issue.

I Personally am a hard core WvW player and just getting sick and tired how Arenanet keeps neglecting these bugs/issues within WvW. The WvW community within GW2 have been patient enough towards Arenanet hoping they would come with solutions towards bugs/skillag and as a reward they give us INSANE queue times with this WvW season, and a possible fix in 2014 isnt fast enough if you ask me, it needs to be resolved asap…

^ Lol. WvW is getting spoiled. Look at the pvp development please.

Senninha.4105:

What is Anet supposed to do about it, transfer or deal with it. It’ll get better when the PvE guys get tired of getting owned.

+ there is a ‘waiting’ room coming, will take some time, but looks good.

As expected, a kittenton of PVE players are filling up the borderlands to get their achievement points.

Meanwhile arenanet is no doubt monitoring WvW population, and based on these glory hunters will no doubt declare all their design choices regarding WvW over the past 6 months a booming success.

Queues are ridiculously long even in some T2 servers. Last night around 1AM GMT I had to queue over 2 hours for EB on Gandara. The BL was deserted though, most likely because Blobbadon had full manning there and kept owning Gandarians 100-0. I got 4 kills in little over 1 hour in BL and it sucked donkey balls.

I hope they are monitoring those queues, because to be honest it is no fun as a WvW’er that we have to wait 1-2 hours to get into one single borderland…

They should make the maps bigger or something like that. The sound of the new WvW map that is going into beta in 2014 sounds great, but there are still 3 months to go…

You can’t moan about insane queue times during the season, arena net gave you the option of moving to lower servers for free, did you actually think people would not enter WvW season 1 for achievements and rewards and ability to do stuff becuase loads are playing. You only have yourselves to blame especially if you didn’t think this would happen in GOLD servers.

So i should move to a lower tier server because Arenanet didnt do their homework properly? The dumbest remark so far in this thread Beliskner, what about Arenanet using their heads and COMMON sense, they should waited with this whole WvW season until the new WvW overflow map is up and running. What baffles me even more is that Areanet discounted on tranfers before WvW season what mangifies the whole queue issue atm…

Those same discounted transfers offered you a way to evade the queue problems, had you done your own “homework”, you could’ve availed yourself of this solution.

Players from the bronze and silver leagues will not have any pity for the state of your stacked servers, and no, we don’t care that you’ve been there since day 1.

You cannot expect people to leave their homeservers where they are part of the community, have their fully upgraded guild and friends. Everyone suggesting otherwise should check their priorities.

t1 servers have no right to complain about ques, we have the best round the clock coverage of all servers and its a price we pay. Btw the pver/fairweather will be gone ina week or 2 once they get there achievements.

O and there r 4 maps if one seems to have a long que, TRY A DIFFERENT ONE. I am sure not all 4 maps have 3-4 hour ques.

$_$ is all there is to it. you dont have to understand it for it to be true

Well, even us lowly bronze league had Q’s in all maps this weekend. Do not see them often, but we do get them.

The only thing that Anet can do, but it will be to much IMHO, is make different allowed numbers for each league set. But the only problem with that is when it is over and we go back to the random, you could be like us and get stuck with someone from the higher league, then you will most definitely be outmanned.

The overflows upon launch were worse. Trying to learn and get thru with your friends was real bad.

now here is the thing though. we all told u guys that the queues would be terrible if u dont stop buying all our guilds. we all knew that pve achievment hunters will try out wvw and some of them will stay till season ends as the servers performance affects the chest u will get.
we warned u all, but u guys kept stacking and now u have queues…i hate to say it but we told ya so!
its also the weekend so the queues will go down a little after that.

Nothing they have added will reduce the zerg. Do you really think all the achievers are gonna do havoc squads?

No, they are gonna cling to the biggest zerg they can find to get the achievements done as quick as possible with the least amount of effort.

You should be more sick of your server buying other guilds. Queues are directly a result of that. Everyone should have known going in that a lot of new players would join WvW as a result of the AP.

I like this guy. He uses logic unlike 90% of other T1 people who view themselves as the center of he game.

So many of you fail to understand one key point…. a lot of people zerg because that’s how they enjoy playing. Large scale open field combat is what separates WvW from other game modes. We already have small scale PvP and PvE in other game modes. I don’t need WvW for that.

Except, the overflow does nothing to help your sever, and you will still be in the queue for a long time in order to get into real WvW.

who knows, the overflow might just turn out to be pve, in the long run. Who knows how much figthing will occur till it is tested.

don’t listen to OP ANET, there is no problem. queue is not your problem, player stacking is the problem. it was their choice to stack in the CHAMPION server. they should have foreseen this.

well, some you win, some you lose….

^^this…i don’t understand what ppl expected by moving to high ranked servers, instant qs lol?

they get what the wished for : coverage, all the time

Don’t like the queues? move to a low pop server.

i decided to stay in kaineng rather than move to a server in the Gold League, and so far i think i have made the right decision. i have been enjoying this wvw league with so many people logging in, both for our server and our opponents and there are just battles everywhere!

the best part… no queues, no skill lag, fewer zergs, and a lot more small skirmishes.

the not so good part, we have been losing more now than before when several of our guilds left the server to move up to the Gold League.

btw, i saw an anet dev playing with us, i think his name was Vox Machina, and he had this red anet mark beside his name. maybe anet can give away “marks” as achievements or sell them. its really cool to have a distinguishing mark beside your name

lol at all the people who spent months recruiting now complaining they can’t play even after a dev warned them this would happen. i’m going to listen to that radiohead song you do it to yourselves in your honor.

LOL

keep on scabbing bronze league servers, Y O U R recruitment and scabbing posts are still up.

This seriously really makes me laugh IRL !!!!

Sitting in queue for an hour for our home BL and then crashing a minute after getting in due to lag is not fun. Something needs to be done. The problem isn’t only in T1…

Servers other than T1——————————————> that way. please tranfer off for your WVW convenience. thank you. your sincerely, ANET.

Omg this is really kitten waiting over 1 hour or more to enter in WvW and all BL are in queue GG Anet on this.

Fix all this queue problem Anet this is really stupid.

Sometimes on our main maps, we don’t have outnumbered anymore. Thanks anet!

I wish they could put a estimated queue time or show what place in line so I can know roughly when I should be paying attention.

lol. estimated queue time? no system in the world can predict when someone else is going to get disconnected or log off their game
