Guild Wars 2

There needs to be something done about the WvW Queues! I was in Queue this morning at 8am for over 3 hours, so by the time I got into WvW I only had about 30min left to play. There at least needs to be a way you can Queue for all maps or something. There was already long queues before on JQ now since the season has started it is almost impossible to get in WvW. I can’t imagine how it is going to be during primetime.

Got to wait till the next patch and the wave of pve’ers move to something new.

If this were a sub game I would quit in a heart beat. When the biggest part of your game is not accessible to the majority of people that is some fail crap.

Problem will be solved sort of with the 5th map coming, good if you want to get WXP etc

Maybe you should switch servers then, because you should be expecting that on JQ when a new patch for WvW comes out

Tell your server to stop buying guilds. Hell, maybe get them to start selling guilds.

Or transfer off.

All of these things are solutions to over stacking your server.

Be on the most stacked server in GW2…
Complain about queues….

What a shocker.

Being on a teir 1 server we normaly don’t have super long ques outside of reset. Its the achievements that are mucking in it up.

Oh dear…someone doesn’t realize this is going to be the new normal…

You think they’re gonna stop with a single season? =P

The metrics in anets eyes Are already a success with all the pve players in wvw. People who think there won’t be another season are fooling themselves.

(Replied to you to prove the people that will disagree wrong :p)

Right now this is a big problem.
It’s not just the queue. When you do get in, the quality of team-play has gone through the floor.

Normally our pugs are reasonably tight disciplined, mostly on TS and nearly all aware of how to play the game. But right now, they are just running around hitting things, attacking the sentries, doors, wildlife, anything. When the enemy comes in sight they scatter and run. They clearly haven’t the faintest idea.

Out of a zerg of around 30, there were 5 of us on TS trying to direct the fight – total waste of time.
I can see the opposing servers are no better off, I’ve chased people through the middle of the enemy zerg and stomped them with enemy players just scattering out of my way – and I’m playing a mesmer.

It’s a mess.

Exactly this. It is literally ruining alot of servers PPT and score. They need to add priority que for dedicated WvWvWers like rank 50? and above for reset night.

So everyone jumped on a wagon, and it collapsed and now you are surprised?

On IoJ [Mend] Had great success with pugs… Thats probably because we had 30 Core solid wvwers in the middle of 30 pugs all on a private ts though :p

Just try to remember how you were like when entering wvw for the first time. Thats them right now. I have stomped more legendary glass cannons today than i think i did the whole last month. But those will learn too. Just don’t expect them to have the same knowledge you got after hours of playing.

And for the queue problem:
low population servers —> no queue ; overall skill after entering —> not the highest
high poulation servers —> long queue ; overall skill after entering —> not the highest

They should have worked on the 5th map BEFORE doing the seasons thing. They must know by now that people flock to whatever content has new achievements. How could they not have known this would be an issue? It’s sort of a slap in the face saying “look, we’re working on a solution! It’ll be here in six months!”

We had that sort of thing with the “precursor scavenger hunt,” and look where that got us.

It’s great that they’ve gotten more people interested in wvw. They should’ve prepared for it, though…

Its obvious that they have been working on that map for a while. They did state it takes roughly 6 months or more to get a map built. Map looks built but it seems they need help testing the map in a more live like environment.

I’d just like to make a note of one thing that I think people aren’t considering when they transfer to stacked worlds. You will not, repeat will not, be able to receive the reward based on overall world place in the league, unless you achieve the meta achievement for the season. If you aren’t able to get into WvW much, you won’t get the rewards. So it is absolutely taking a risk to transfer to a world that has a large WvW population.

You were warned.

Frankly, its about time that there was a downside to stacking T1. Unfortunately, this will not be that downside. The excitement will die down and T1 will be back to normal soon.

There’s only 1 problem with this. The people that were actually WvWing for the past year before any kind of reward are now the ones that gotta transfer due to the wave of PvErs and achievement hunters, not the other way around.

I agree with this idea. Rank 50 and above should get priority que. Yes you could argue that is unfair to those below – but it would be like a rank system used in spvp. You would fight those that are rank 50+ so at least (hopefully) people would know what they’re doing.

I have seen an increase in up levels. Start by banning them from WvW League play.

I have no problems with the queues, I totally expected queues of 3-5 hours to happen on the first weekend.
But Anet how about you get your kittening server working right? If you let 300 people into a borderland, I expect that your servers can take the fights without resulting into that massive lags which even stretch out into pve maps.
back to the topic.
I never had a queue on EU time since October 2012 when our guild joined JQ. So, could you please prioritize people with higher world ranks a bit over people without?
Yeah, that will hurt new players and players that never been to wvw before, but your whole game hurts new players since the karma change, the massive gold increase on some events, prices of T6 mats, fractals.

Newb players to WvW are gonna go through growing pains like we all did. I doubt you were “All Star” material the first day you set foot into WvW.

Queue is buged I’m told so Try requeue, It worked several times for me so It seems bugged.

The first day I entered WvW I was on my own and I was able to ask questions of the people with more experience and follow their example.

The problem here is that the regular players can’t get in, so in any group of 20+ players only 4 or 5 know what to do. The normal flow of commands and information is buried under a constant chatter about other stuff that has nothing to do with the battle. Irrelevant conversations and arguments about gear, lipstick, hairstyles and other PvE stuff.

Like I said, It’s a mess.
