Guild Wars 2

Its related to client crashes / bugs in WvW. Last night (and this has happened to many in my guild) I was playing in WvW for a good 3 hours. We had several people that were stuck in queue to get into Emery Bay. We just finished taking a keep.

Screen goes white and up pops a window saying the client experienced a problem and them I’m returned tot he desk top.

I quickly fire up the client again and log right back in, but as everyone knows I am no longer in WvW. And I am now starting a Queue from ground zero. It took over an hour for me to get back into the game I was playing prior tot he client crash. My friends in the guild that started playing well after me got into the queue before me. In fact I’m pretty sure they would have taken the slot I left.

I understand the need for a Queue. I understand that the client can crash for allot of reasons. Heck it could have been my PC or ISP. It happens. This is not about that. This is about the fact that I could not return to the game I was playing. There should be some sort of a buffer to allow someone to get back into WvW in this situation. If I log back in within a minute, you should put me back into WvW.

Its not right that I wait in line, play WvW for 3 hours. Have some glitch, and I’m forced to get in the back of the line. This probably isn’t a bug, but working as designed. But its a realty bad design and should be fixed.

I would consider this a bug. Need to allow some ability to get back in when you crash. Even if it resulted in your character being killed and sent back the main way point, that would be a huge step forward in this process. Waiting for hours to get into a Borderlands then crashing and having to wait hours again is absurd.

There ARE bugs in the queue system.

Person A queues for Eternal Battlegrounds.
Persons B-D queue for Eternal Battlegrounds.
B-D all get in while A is still waiting. We hear this in guild chat every night. Everyone has theories on what causes it:

• Don’t queue while in overflow
• Don’t queue while in Lion’s Arch
• Don’t zone after queuing
• Don’t queue for more than 1 thing

Bottom line is the queue system is buggy. The lack of feedback on the state of the queue just makes it worse, because it’s impossible to see that you’re bugged. If I had to guess, I would bet a lot of people are “#0 in line” and get stuck there with no pop-up invite.

I’ve even heard you should requeue after 15 minutes if you get no invite. I have no idea if this resets your place in line or not.

this just happened to me 2 times in a row.

Takes a good hour to get into a wvw, then after some time playing in it, crash. Then need to wait more.

Very, very lame.
