Okay the long queues suck but people should get over it and just try to do their best rather than complain.

People are not complaining about the long queues.

You should read the complaints before picking out a few keywords and responding.

Some of them are

How are they not working correctly?

… Its completely random? You dont have to look far to see people reporting just that on the forums. Queue 15m, relog, insta-join. Queue 1h nothing happens. Both peeps start queueing at the same time. Queue for 2h nothing happens. 1h in another guildie had to wait 10m for the queue to pop. Etc and so on.

If we could actually see the queue stats (ie “you are 104/250”) and its frequently updated, we could at least have some sort of feeling for the amount of time we have to wait.

Now, its just… Completely random.

It’s been like this for 5 months and it’s getting to the point to where I think ArenaNet doesn’t want to admit there is a problem and perhaps just silently rewrite the queue system for the Feb/March update.

that´s not true in the official queue thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Queues-for-WvW-The-Official-Thread/first
they already made a statement that there is something wrong with the queue´s

Does anybody know why there is no such thread like this on the german forums ?
Looks like they dont have the problem with queues and nearly empty maps

Science.6709:

1. make server transfers cost gems
2. “queue bug” gets worse
3. ????
4. profit

3 = make border caps half the sieze they were

But they have a legit excuse: They want to spreat out server population over all servers. Ofcourse making some money from it , is just something special.

Because we write in english forums about this. We also have this problems, see link below

Only Community Managers speak germen, so it’s better do post in english Threads

When A-Net eventually find the problem and fix it, maybe they should reset the WvW rankings again, coz utill they do fix it the scores are meaningless in my opinion. Hardly a fair score when some servers are having to fight outmanned all the time because of a dumb bug. I know they wont and Im not totally serious but I do think the scores arnt gonna reflect Jack S*** because of this mess!!

This^^^ It is absolutely rediculous. The scores are worthless. One night you may be able to get your entire guild group in and have 50-60 on the map and the other server was only able to get maybe 20-30 ppl on thier server with a queue. The fights are not fair at the moment because of this. We are still having fun but I can’t see how they could go without resetting the ranks because of this.

when i logged into our BL where we only owned 1 tower today, i found only like 20 people there and around 40+invaders from other servers id say 20 TC and around 25 BG. how are we suppose to counter 2 servers attacking while most of us were stuck in Q and only 20 defenders in and maybe a few standing at spawn? We didnt get any transfers from last week and Q’s were pretty fine and once we were in we would see way higher numbers. And I agree fights arent fair if the other server only gets half their people in while 2 servers attack with way higher numbers. I do enjoy this matchup, but would like to enjoy it with all our guildmembers.

I don’t know what BL you were on but based on what you just said I wonder if the queue is screwed up to be serverwide across all maps??? Last night we had about 30-35 total on our map at one point, FA had at least 50-60+. I wonder if it is set up now that you can only have 166 across all maps or something instead of the 500 per map it used to be it is now 500 across all maps. that is what it is starting to seem like to me. And you are not in the queue for the map, everybody is put in a big queue pool, you are queued for the map you want but are in a queue with every one from all maps. When there are more than 500 ppl queued you wait even though the map you queued for is no where near full.

I am not expalining this well and it is pure speculation, but it makes one think. hmmm

That thread specifically states “We will definitely keep you updated when there is any news on our progress.” It’s been 5 months … no progress? No updates? This kind of neglect is unacceptable from a customer service perspective.

“Progress” is the new culling system, even though it works like kitten, and the message that they’re working on it… But yeah, they’re consistently bad at giving a kitten about WvW >_<

The lack of response by Anet is starting to remind me of Bioware with SWTOR. =/

Yay! 3rd time in a row I got screwed over for our guilds WvW Evening. 2 hours in the Q and I never got in and gave up. But what annoys me the most is hearing almost every other guildy eventually getting in, even though they Queued AFTER me, some for like 5-10 mins.

So Im in the Q for an hour…someone comes along and queues and gets in 5 mins later…Im still queuing…20 mins later another guildy starts queuing and gets in 10 mins later…30 mins later Im STILL queuing and this goes on and on every single night Ive been trying now. Gonna give up on it all until/ IF they ever fix it I guess. Shame, the game is obviously broken and Anet arnt even acknowledging it.

What semi worked for some of us last night was going into the mists and then re-queueing every 5 mins until they got in. It worked for some and not others. There were still a few that were not able to get in for an hour plus even though they were one of the first among us to queue. And for some that had been waiting for 45 mins did this and trhey were in within about 10 mins.

I read a few official postings in other threads, this is my take away:

1) People sitting in que for long periods while some jump ahead of them in que and get in after only a few mins IS a bug and will be fixed as soon as they can identify whats allowing it to happen and fix it.

2) The new cap on maps is intentional and IS NOT a bug. Its there to keep maps more even. The upside: servers over populated in a given time frame will not be able to outman and over run other servers that are undermanned as easily. The downside: servers that are over pupulated in a given time frame will get ques. They seem to home that people on said servers will transfer to less populated servers over time to smooth things out…… only they took away free transfers to ALL servers… so you will have to either deal with the que, quit the game, or pony up some gems.

Please post a link for #2. I have not seen any official posts about the map pops being downsized.

Actually post a source for both please. I have been following the dev posts in this forum at least and havent seen what you are referring to.

They have appearantly been working on this for 5 months now LOL, with no fix

But I have never seen anything even close to relating to #2.

Yep in fact I thought they had said it was fixed at 1 stage, obviously not.

Well yeah, we should all know about that one. That is hardly relevant to what is happening now. Even if it part of the current problem is the exact same issue from then, letting it go 5 months without being addressed is deplorable and unprofessional.

Current information only please. So far there doesnt appear to be any.

In fact, adding a queue position tracker would help them debug what was going on. Not only that, it would be respectful of the customers that are forced to endure them.

What is appalling is the complete and total lack of communication from ANET that they are even addressing this issue.

None of the issues all off us are reporting right now have been the case weeks ago before the Jan 28th update. I been playing in Tier 1 for a long time and the queues have NEVER been like this before. Something is wrong with the systems, I really hope they take the time to look into it instead of just scoffing at us and saying we should pay to transfer to a underpopulated server…

yeah that is weird, I was in FA BL and had a Queue!The only one I got in without Queue was in fact TC BL, and i did find a large number of players indeed. But we werent able to get into FA where we were needed the most. Now you are telling me you are experiencing the same issue in your BL. This must be a bug. I heard you gus were even outmanned and had a queue. o.0
We were outmanned in EB before then we all ported over which is like 10 to 15 people and 6 of us got a queue….the system is soo bugged and hope they are fixing this soon as I am really enjoying this matchup, but want it to be fair for all servers.

There certainly do seem to be a lot of people on low-population servers also reporting queue issues.
