Guild Wars 2

It’s not because you queued first for a specific WvW map that you will be the first one to get the queue pop. We see this happen all the time when queuing for our guild event in wvw. Some people are stuck in the queue forever while some others join the queue much later but get a queue pop in a matter of minutes.

Extremely frustrating for the one stuck in the queue…

I’ve heard guildmates mention this too – they seem to think there’s a problem if you change maps or waypoint while in the queue, it seems to reset your place in the queue or something

Ya i believe right now, the last person to queue gets the first chance to enter.
It has been working this way since the start.
Btw, it will help if you change the topic to something like:

“Last one to queue, First to Enter”

Without any concrete information from the game client its hard to know what’s going on. I’ve always felt changing zones broke the queue.

I suppose this is why people say go to heart of the mists. there’s nothing to do but stand around…put a big jumping puzzle in there and we won’t notice the queue length as much….

I don’t think it’s as simple as ‘last one to queue is first to enter". General consensus in my guild is that the queues are shorter if you’re in a map with less people. Although we don’t have any proof of this so this could be totally wrong.

And I agree that having more information about queue position would be a very welcome adition, however that’s a new feature while what I describe here is a bug. Let’s hope they get their bugs fixed before adding new features…
