Frontlines rant

You have over an hour or more queue on maelstrom on EU data centers. Been in the queue for close to two hours from ST 8:30-10:30.

There has to be something broken or seriously needs to be looked at. A damn response on any of the queue threads i guess would be to much to ask for.

i don't think its broken, i think its working exactly as intended. but i think the problem is boiling down to that there are more people in queue on one gc than the others which is resulting in people on the more populated gc having to wait through 2, 3 or even 4 games to end on top of waiting for the lesser populated gc's to fill in between. which (to me) explains why i was getting, like you, 1-2 hour long queues when I was on Maelstrom, and now that I have switched to the lesser populated Flames, now i get much faster queues usually 5-10 minutes and at some times, even at night, less than 2 minute wait pops which I never got when I was on Maelstrom after the first 2 weeks of Frontlines release.


i'm not even sure what SE can do about it because they can't make people logon. But I've said from day one once Wolves' Den died that SE needs to just combine all the data centers for PvP instances. Relying on the small population of pvp players per data center to keep the pvp playerbase alive only seems to work when its new pvp content and once the fanfare dies down, we are right back to square 1 with long queues all over again because players go do something else other than pvp.
