QUEUE PVP AS 8 MAN PARTY - MISSING POPS

When we queue as 8 man party, it take about 20 - 30 mins to pop which is enough time for someone to go afk... We had several annoying times where we miss pops cuz that one person wasn't near his pc to click ( Commence ). Which lead other 7 players to waste their 30 mins of waiting missing that pop and re queuing for another 30 mins.

What im trying to say is... when queuing as a party why not let those afkers out and the others who commenced enter the match together as team?

I wanna know if other pvpers who queue as team struggle with this problem and what the best way for this to be solved... cuz i have good players in my ls that i want to pvp with .... without having to miss up pops just cuz one of them went afk for 40 secs of pop...... which is ridiculous ...

I agree waltar!

i feel an easy solution would be to bring us in to duty if 5/8 hit commence, AFKers would be dealt with by the system in pvp for AFK players.

i would like to know how the teams are made because on our server (odin) maelstrom seem to never get into pvp but adders and flames seem to always get in.

if you queue as a full party of 8 you should be prioritized to get into the battle but solo queues seem to be faster so nobody wants to queue as a team in fear of missing a duty pop because one person is afk T_T

The people in my group are good about not doing this but I do wish it would change because it limits us from leveling other classes while we are queued. I'm not happy with how difficult it can be to change class to commence when aggro locked and see that as a problem in of itself, but it's one thing for me to take that risk when solo queueing, and another for me to risk preventing other party members from being able to commence. Plus if you have a while party queue up where they all did were doing something on a different class, chances at least 1/8 would be sprinting like crazy and still getting the Cannot Change Classes at this Time stupid message.

same problem here -.- And I've been complaining about that since secure

The main issue i got with this system is that it counts towards 30 min penalty for the whole party, while just 1 person doesn't commence.

I've also had this happen way too often, and to a lesser extent I've also had to deal with folks going, "Whoops, gotta go!" 20 minutes into the queue.

I really wish the queue system in this game didn't actively punish people for trying to play with their friends.

Oh god do we need this. The current system not only punishes the 7 others who want to go in by causing them to miss their queue or give them a 30m penalty, it also screws with the other 16 people in that alliance. All because someone had to use the washroom, or fell asleep because the queues are like 40m long due to GCs.

Add this in or remove GC restrictions so the queues aren't so goddam long.

I don't think there is an easy solution with the system currently in place. I realize you are asking for a change, but at this rate asking for anything regarding PVP seems like it's asking for too much.

If people go AFK you should tell them to turn off BGM (Back Ground Music) and put the regular volume up on their speakers super high so they can hear the pop, perhaps even in another room, and be prepared to rush back and hit 'Commence' quickly.
There's not much else you can do. Because it's also too much to ask that the people you group with not go AFK longer than 45 seconds either...

I wonder if SE added a frontline mode designed exclusively for premade parties if people would actually queue to that. Though my guess is no since most premades typically enjoy picking on PUGs for easy wins/kills.
