PvP queue times post 2.2

I normally swap between each class to get the insta queue but since patch every class has a 10 minute wait atleast, is this happening to anyone else? surely people are doing pvp now so whats the issue?

Why cant the game show which classes are in need for this too or atleast have the tank x/1 healer x/1 ranged x/1 melee x/1 in the duty finder popup?

the only thing worse than pvp in this game is waiting 10 minutes for fights

Everyone is probably doing the new content...

2.2 separates low levels from high levels when initially queuing. There is a degradation of the separation but its very detrimental to que times. Because of this, less people play, and que times get longer. I'm even guilty of not queuing because of it. I believe its gonna stay like this until 2.25, but I hope I'm wrong.

I've been busy with raids/new content with my group. I'd say give it until after the weekend, once people are done exploring all the new content I'm sure there will be more queues.

I feel like the wait times post 2.2 have been a lot longer. I thought that long maintenance was suppose to help long que times. I love the PvP in this game otherwise. Looking forward to future updates. :)

something is definitely messed up, wish we could get some feedback on this :(

The PvP community was fairly small and everyone is just busy with new content, don't expect fast queues anytime soon I'd imagine. Can't really queue while in a party looking for Atmas.

FATEs 2 strong

I'll get a que sometimes instantly, will go to 7/8 then I'll end up waiting for another 50+ minutes to get another person attempt to join. So seems like there just aren't many people doing it, my avg time this week is about 54 minutes, longest was almost 70.

Something is definitely wrong unless they made mandatory waits for repeats.. We got 2 groups of 4 and it still took 5-10min to let us in every time.

Super lame.

I'm sorry guys but a 1/2 hour wait time for a 5 min pvp match is unacceptable, you guys really do have to fix this.

has to be the matchmaking system they added or EXTREME server congestion or pvp instances being at the very bottom of the barrel after everything else

did someone submit a bug report? how do we get clarification about this

Average Wait Time: 19m
Time In Queue: 89m

This is what I was met with yesterday when trying to get a match so that I can get the PvP gear (mainly for glamours ^^) so I'm guessing either nobody is doing it, or something is really broken on SE's end... Either way, I'm sure that someone out there is trying to do PvP - It just doesn't feel like it! :(

Yesterday I started a thread about long que times post 2.2 in the in-game bug section of the forums and they moved it to the not an in-game bug section so I guess PvP is working as they intended? Each day it seems the que times are getting worse and worse, as I write this I've been waiting 76 mins for PvP match so I hope the problem here is a bug and not what pvp is suppose to be. I haven't heard any response what so ever about this issue so any info anyone comes across on this subject would be very helpful.

Tried queueing as various classes at various times of the day, just trying to get enough PvP done for the challenge log so I'll be in a nicer position come 2.25. Since 2.2 went live I've had 1 game, given up after waiting 20 minutes other times. The long queues are made even longer when people are turned off PvP purely because of the long queues.

Are you saying out of a million people who play this game it takes a half hour to find 8 people to play a match? That just doesnt seem right to me. Before patch 2.2 que times were not as bad so i would like them to go back to th system they were using before 2.2 until they work out the bugs in this new system .

Well yes, because pvp is awful, superfluous and frantically pretty boring.

Because this is also a FFXIV forum, the game I'm playing. I'm allowed to express my opinion on things as much I like.

Na, I'd rather play a mmorpg.

People still use "get a life" as an insult?

When it appiles, yeah.

It's weird for me, as I only just started PVP. I see many of the same faces, all of us dropping back into the DF as soon as we finish a match, yet (as a WHM, mind you) the time usually takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes for me to get into a match.

Even more frustrating is the queue often pops up, but times out from "member's withdrawing from duty." It happens to often that I wonder if it's a glitch or a result from the wait times being so extreme that people AFK while waiting on the queue.

There has got to be something going on. Pre 2.2 I was getting a match every 8 mins or so, usually not much longer than 15 mins. There was times when pvp was completly dead though. But now? 30-40 mins average to get a single match. Whatever the match-making system is doing, it's making waits incredibly long.

I've discovered that, if you que with a team of newbies with like a rank of 1 or 2, you que a lot faster. I think it has averages out the rank on your party so it can do the (stupid) match by rank.
