Queues for WvW: The Official Thread

Now the good ol’ beeping sound bug in WvW that occurs during heavily crowded battles no longer just keeps beeping until you relog, but now forces an immediate crash. As if that’s not frustrating enough, now I’m sitting in queue for 90 minutes on Blackgate to get into any of the maps.

I got out each night with a crew of 10-15 people. Our goal is to play well, have fun, and help the server.

WvW is good xp with 10-15 players. WvW is more enjoyable than killing mobs. Plenty of challenge in WvW even when losing. I am not sure why if you cant win the matching WvW is worthless and a waste of time. In fact when losing there is even more fun to be had because the challenge is greater.

What server are you on?

Arena net isn’t going to address this issue. In fact, I guarantee we won’t get a reply. They’ll moderate you for your comments, but not reply to this issue that’s going to ruin the gaming of multiple servers. Remember, they already took your money, they don’t care if it ruins WvW for you. This is your punishment for having a job and not living on welfare; you can’t play video games all day/night long.

Probably the stupidest post of the century. Considering the amount of transparency Arena Net has displayed to its player base destroys any other gaming community in comparison.

I’m not asking for a reply, nor do I expect one. But I have a feeling after enough complaints, (which is rampant in this forum already) Anet will address it in some fashion.

Blackgate here and the sad part is, this is entirely, 100% true. Been playing WvW every day since BWE and I wake up disappointed every morning when I see a server just destroy us in the after hours with ZERO realistic strategy to overcome this.

Even teaming up 2v1 seems like a gigantic mess waiting to happen. Yeah, a few guilds could get together and say, lets team up and not attack one another? Problem is, the amount of pugs and non-guilded players also playing won’t have any idea, throwing a considerable monkey wrench into a team up strategy like that.

But besides that, who cares? Even if the 2v1 strat allows you to crawl back, you’re both just going to lose it in the after hours when all is said and done. Not only that, but who’s right is it to claim a tower or camp when the 2v1 succeeds? How is that supposed to play out? It’s just not viable.

The only real answer to this is to hope Blackgate and the other servers that suffer from zero after hours participation receive serious, international guilds to carry the load. I think that in itself is a pipe dream and my only choice is to look into a EU server that is looking for NA presence. Not exactly what I had in mind but I’d love to know what Anet had in mind for all of this.
