Daily Roulette Frontlines Queue Still Buggy

The frontlines daily roulette is still bugged in terms of the queue. Estimated times seem low (20 mins is fast for Flames).

- I queue when the Average Wait Time is at 20 mins...
- 30 mins later: Time Expired says 30 mins and Average Wait Time is now 16 mins...

Anyone have any tips on a 'system' that could get around these buggy queues?

Same issue. I understand that very few people are doing PVP right now, but Average Wait Time should reflect that. If it's going to be an hour plus before I get into Frontlines, the queue should not say 15 minute average wait time. And if the average wait time is 15 minutes, then I shouldn't be in queue for over an hour.

It could possibly be skewed by premade groups. I don't know how this one works, but groups get priority over individuals in many queue systems because it's easier to fit in the group of 4-5 people first than it is wait for a gap of 4-5 to appear in order to fit them in. I imagine that a large chunk of people PvPing right now might well be dedicated PvP groups. So, if groups do get priority, it's not entirely unbelievable that your wait will increase while average wait will decrease.

That's all just a possible cause, though. It still does certainly feel as though something is off.

I actually feel the opposite, that premades take longer to queue as some single friends made it through quickly and we were still waiting 40 minutes later. Either way, something seems off with the new system.

I think part of the problem is that it only counts the people who actually get into matches. So if the last group of people only had to wait 15 minutes to get into their match, it's going to report Average Wait Time 15 minutes, even if that group got in 5 hours ago and no one else has gotten in since.
