The duty doesn't work at all

[Alyrael]

Beside the fact that queue is always very long for pvp, I wonder why....why.... WHY I am waiting for like 45min to play one game when during that time some people from my FC can play like 3 games. Does duty gather people with their rank ? with their jobs ? cause it just always happen. I'm on queue for pvp since 2 weeks now, everyday, and everyday my friends are gone while I'm still on queue, then I wait for their game to end, then my friends are gone again while I'm still on queue, then again, like 3-4 times in a row. soooo what the hell is wrong with duty...?

Depends on what exactly you're queuing up for and when. During the day i can wait a good 100+ minutes but when it gets a bit later into the night my queue for from frontlines pops in about 15-25 minutes.

like I said I'm queuing only for pvp (frontline), during afternoon and during evening. I really just don't get why people are going sooner and more often than me (even the people from maelstrom like me, cause yeah i thought it could be the fact that there is too many people on maelstrom)

After about 20 mins or so, I'll withdraw from the DF then re-queue immediately. Sometimes I get an instant pop. Maybe I'm just superstitious but it seems to give me better results than waiting for 100+ minutes.

yeah I don't think you're supertitious. sometimes I did get an instant pop for frontline, but that would mean the duty really need adjustement. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it's suppose to let play people that waited 100min+ rather than people that just registered.

As I'm writting this, it's been 153min that I'm on duty and a friend from my FC (adders) been playing 5 games of 72 players

This works for me too.

FL has no pvp rank queue restrictions, but WD does. If you're in a matched party, it uses the average pvp rank of the 4 members to make matches.

System is not working the way we expect it. First come first serve put into a que. It seems to pick players random to enter the match. Unless someone from SE comments. Observations, certain players get in again and again. It does not matter who qued first. The reason people think there may be a secret rank system involved in frontlines matches short players do not fill even though players are in que. The excuse that 4 slots spammed every min for a new player can't find one of those people in que for 6 mins.

If you are in que for more then 20 mins it seems to lose you. It is faster to spam reque. One language is better then multiple always have in progress. Unless you are in a Grand Company that is short its not the best idea to que parties but just try to get games together.
