The new map is kind of meh when the crystals are not up it seems like you just stand around

That's the overcautious solution. A more aggressive team will dominate the opposition if they take successful action during gaps between Ice pops.

The problem is the 'successful' caveat. If the aggressive team doesn't have the coordination and control to pull off attacking / base-stealing and get back on point in time to keep a zone around the next Ice, then they risk ending up at a net loss or neutral for the effort.

I think the 'stand around' meta comes from exhausted commanders that just want to win, and try taking the path of least resistance when herding cats that they don't have trust or faith in the coordination/skill level under their command. It's very punishing to lead a team into direct conflict that it can't handle properly. It's like a 50/50 coin flip to tell the team to just stay back and try to win the Ice race each time, and maybe pick at a vulnerable GC's back sometimes.

I second having visible players queue for each grand companies under duty status. Saturday night I was in queue for over 65 minutes, which should never happen, thats 2 shatter matches and im still stuck in queue without given a reason why is just horrible SE!!!

I'd rather like seeing the removing of gc restrictions than just seeing the amount of people in queue according to their gc. It won't help the queues, and it's wasted programming time who could serve new pvp features (even if it could be a nice new ajustement, it won't change the waiting time sadly).

Queues for shatter are under 10 mins for me during peak times. I just wish more people queued up for seal rock. I prefer the green of seal rock to the winter backdrop of shatter.

Feast is over 30 mins though.

2 more weeks of dead Feast queues minimum. Please look forward to it.

That is still a problem.

You shouldn't have to be switching grand companies for the sake of a faster queue.

The notion of that is just nonsense.

It's sad, but true.

When all of the top dawgs are in one alliance with their premades, and everyone else is switching over for carries; than yes, the queue times for said GC will be slower because there's less faces queuing in the others.

You get sandwiched between bare-chested pirates every evening?

Can SE at least nerf the CD on GC switching then? Being stuck for 15 days in Maelstrom and not being able to get into one match after trying for 12 hours non-stop of queuing stinks.
