Queue times and Competitiveness

In the spirit of alleviating win trading, increasing queue times, and increasing playability of maps. Can SE research on how to have cross data center queues? They can keep ranks by data center.

Possible between same region. It would be unfair for different regions, distant players to whoever the main datacenter, or more likely they make a dedicated PvP server.

My issue with the queue list is it doesn't show how many people needed. I could do a shout if it did, or SE can put an NPC showing the PvP queue list, sort of the expeditioner in quarymill.

...if they did this for Feast people would be rightfully annoyed about how much development time is being wasted on pvp. Lot of people would rather see it for party or raid finder first

The bigger problem is that people would see development time on PvP as wasted at all. Or anything for that matter.

By that logic, I could blame Eureka for 4.2 not being here already.

i think the first cross region queue is a lot more important than other things, though. That's something people have wanted in general for pve as well as pvp.

So everyone is in agreement! Hooray SE should research how to do this!

You guys do realize there is only one person working on the PvP development side. Poor guy is being push to his limit already.

With the responses from everyone else in the thread it is more of a PvE issue than a PvP issue. So if they figure it out for PvE it can roll over to PvP.

If that's the case then he did a great job because that's way more than I'd expect from one person.

Which is why I doubt it is the case.

Besides, the feature is really not a pvp feature, it's a cross-datacenter feature, which can be reused for anything that uses instances.

I was only kidding, with no chat in the feast you don't need to worry about a language barrier so yeah make the feast cross server for better queue time plz.

OMG!!!! I miss playing with Japanese players. FFXI was my favorite when using the Auto-Translate function. But since servers are regional it really defeats the purpose of even having it there. Occasional I get a Francophone but nothing else.

I think ping times between regions on a PVP arena style server would be a nightmare. I do wish they'd let us rank by server and not just data center.
