PvP dead once again?

[ArkAurelius]

More than one time I have queued up for front lines and the queue times are horrendous... 1hr queues, even at peak hours. Honestly, starting to feel like any content related to PvP is only relevant on the first few weeks then it gets buried, only allowing either the bored or the cultists to do that forgotten content.

I've never seen Wolve's Den. The que lasts forever.

It was alive?

Yeah, it got boring after a while but the system was very flawed. Not sure if they fixed it, but I remember queueing only to be in a party with around 4-6 members. sometimes we were missing an alliance

72 player = 3 alliances
48 player = 2 alliances
24 player = 1 alliance

you weren't missing them as a flaw. it was designed like this and it works.

It is a flaw. In an attempt to keep the queue times down SE made it so all three sides don't necessarily need to have a full roster before the match can start. The game will start as a 48/72 person match, but when you actually get into the instance you don't always have two/three full alliances like you should. I've had my fair share of 72-player matches where the Flames had less than two full alliances for more than 10 minutes into the match and that was pretty common. The system back-fills as the match goes on, but you're typically down players long enough that you have little to no chance of recovery even if you eventually fill up.

I haven't done Frontlines in a good while now, but if people are actually queuing even less than before the problem is only going to get worse.

*pokes PVP with a stick* he's dead Jim

I wouldn't say Frontlines is dead, but the queue times are getting worse. On Leviathan, you can always get a match going before 1 a.m. in under 20 minutes. However, the teams are rarely balanced. The Immortal Flames seems to be lucky if we get a third full party.

played last night and wished the queue would stop popping so much, couldn't do a single thing because they were instant or within 1 min of queuing. Try leaving mael, the time will only get worse and more change for perceived win rate. I ended last night going 7/13 1st place with adders getting 4 and mael 2, even if flames won 1 game out of that its much better to get 1/13 in the same timeframe and 1/2.

Everyone is too busy changing their grand companies to jump on the winning bandwagon lol
