Help Queue Times, Save PVP--Ideas Inside, SE we need you to respond please

[Buff_Archer]

transparency would go an INCREDIBLE way to move queues along.

it is so crazy that if you had 10000 people queuing adders, 10000 people queuing maelstrom, and 7 queuing flames, the game would never start. ever. but being able to see how many people are filling in which slots would at least help people see which GC is overloaded and which isn't. that's obviously not the ideal thing and it's really just a band-aid, but the more informed people are the better feedback they can provide in hopes of changing the system. i get the distinct feeling that there is about 10% of the player base who don't want GC restrictions to go way, and SE is completely ignoring the other 90% only because of the simple existence of the 10%. but if that minority saw just how ridiculous this entire system was, they might change their mind.

as it is right now you have too many people clinging to the idea that your GC matters. maybe it should, but NOT when it disrupts your accessibility to the game.

I was thinking about the transparency thing and I think the lack of tranparency is intentional because it would expose just how flawed the GC system is if more people could see that they're assigned to a full party but it won't start because of waiting for other GC's to fill.

Currently at a 65 minute queue on Aether, Immortal Flames. Fix the queues and it will fix PVP.

Please Fix the queue on chaos the Waiting time around 50-90min for Maelstrom we cant have fun at all please do something

I think that is because Mael seems the strongest GC on our Data Center.

Couldn't care less about GCs, Ranks, Winning, or Losing, I just want to not wait 30-40 mins for pvp queues.

I wouldn't mind any change to pvp if it shortens pvp queues, I've queue FLs as every single GC during high and low times and queues are usually more than 20 mins (even on weekends).

Replied in your other thread. =) The Adders LS I mentioned is run by a FC officer in Glitch (the FC I am in).

It's actually run by Teya Rodar, who is in GNova (Magmatic Legacy), though I'm probably the biggest loudmouth in the LS lol. I do also have invite permissions though, so if any Adders on Leviathan want an invite, feel free to send me a /tell!

Culf srsly brah I never get matches against you or Tia or Heilan anymore. I check the match results and it's always a bunch of randos. I like that *I* can cap tomes while doing what I enjoy, but it also sucks that queue times and bads and PVE incentives have driven away most of the names I recognize.

How about having pvp rewards go up higher the less people que for them? Similar to fates how if it fails, the next fate spawn is easier. In this case, the longer it takes for the next match to happen, the larger the bonus to participate (exp rewards increase only)

Another idea is allowing yourself to fill a needed spot in the gc pvp matches to make a que happen, as if the company hired you for that one match. Rewards reduced for being hired, but hey at least the que happened

Haven't heard from Devs concerning PVP since this post... updates on how you guys are hearing us please Devs?

[morerancor]

Sorry guys but this isn't a new problem. I has never been addressed by se before. I'm only speaking from my data center experience. If one group has an hour que then 1 team most likely had a 5 minute que. This is the case on my data center. A possible solution to show transparacy without waiting on sqenix,would be us promoting and recruiting people for these less populated gc's via pf or in instance macros. " tried of waiting join aether adders for 5minute games". We all know shitcanning gc restrictions is the only solution but for whatever reason se refuses to accommodate us.

Everyone send ingame petitions to SE asking for the removal of GC restrictions to Frontlines formats. They aren't going to listen until they get slammed in the face with how bad their current design is... and it's terrible when you figure the current way can still result in 30+ min timers during prime-time hours, and removing it so the first 72 register go in will result in a very fluid, fast flowing times for EVERYONE. Slap in the face for people if their banner is putting out 17 ppl, or dumping 117 ppl into the que... either way you gets screwed.
