To all those people who queue for PVP then walk away and let the 45 sec queue pop timer run out (intentionally or unintentionally - but mostly intentionally)...
... please kindly and pleasantly go f**k yourselves.
Nothing more infuriating than sitting in queue for an hour+, having had 10 queue pops and all of them going away at 6/8 or 7/8 because some troll decides not to take it.
GAHHHHH. Sad face x 1000.
Its all Crystal Tower up in here
Happens a lot at night lol.
Getting 6/8 or 7/8 then bam player was withdrawn, finding new members. Wtf lol
Then suddenly happens again for the next few pops :/
reason why i see it getting cancelled is in system which adds more time for higher ranks to form more equal partys. personally i can say i do other things too instead of staring screen for 60mins or more. If SE changed party forming back to random it would be much more faster, but it seems like they dont care. front lines might be even worse, so not excepting much. bigger partys, longer it takes, still Enjoying doing PvP would had quit long time ago if i didnt, but oh well really hope SE notes all these que time posts ;)
I feel atma farming is a huge contributor to this, example, someone ques up PvP, grinds some Atlas, pops after 6 mins, and then they have to choose between finishing the fate or PvPing, they choose the fate after timing out, que again just to get the timer going, it instance ques, they choose the fate over PvP again.
Matchmaking is based on the player, or teams rank average. When you go into match making, it searches for matches within 2.99 ranks with your average. It keeps searching until you hit the match making timer hits 3 mins, then it expands the search by 3 ranks, after 3 mins, you can connect to a match 5.99 ranks within your range. After 6 mins, you can connect to matches with 8.99 ranks within hours
The higher level you are, the longer it takes you to connect to where most casual players are now a days, 17. One work around for this would be playing with lower ranks. A r30 playing with a r1 would have rank mean of 15, improving his chance for an instant queue match.
