PVP Queue Times

[Zephrey]

So, a friend and I been tryin to PVP together since the update. At 1st we thought maybe there just wasn't a "two slot" available & we couldn't get in. So we decided after 2 hours to drop party & queue up solo. We got the same party over & over again under 10-15 min que in most situations. Why as a party did we have to wait over an hour? Over 2 hours? Nothing. So we decided we will queue up at the same time solo.

One thing that is continuing to annoy the hell out of me: I will queue up, and so will he. He will get three matches before I even get one. Shouldn't I technically be "Next in line"? We have the SAME exact settings: queue Roulette / In progress / All Languages. Yet I am not getting ANY matches & he's getting them back to back.

I have to constantly reset my queue time in order to get into any matches. What the hell? I shouldn't be waiting in queue for over 30 minutes while he's going "Oh instant queue!" This needs to be fixed and fast.

"Please look forward to it" 3.0 changes. Until then it will probably always be like this.

Yup, exact same thing here. Every setting the same, same GC, etc. I queue for 20min, someone else queues for 5min and gets it.

My group has resorted to waiting for someone to get a queue, and then everyone who didn't get the queue requeue to try to snipe the in progress slots, because apparently even if you waited 1h it doesn't put you ahead of the line for in progress slots. It's whoever happens to queue up at that time.

It's the most stupid queuing system ever. I don't see why it was hard to sort people by waiting time, but nope we get this.

I mean all you have to do is maintain 3 FIFO lines, one for each GC, and then set a timer. If the person with the longest wait time is over 5min, start a 8v8v8. If not, try to start a 72 man. If not, keep waiting until the longest wait reaches 5min. If a premade can't fit in, let the solo queuers behind them in like you would do on a roller coaster ride when you're as a group.

And then animate the queues so people can watch and see their position. It really takes the stress off the wait time if people see there is hope instead of blindly waiting 20min.

[Zephrey]

Yup, we've been doing the same thing. Having to withdraw, re-queue up until all the slots on the team fills and if they fill just wait for the next one and re-queue again when everyone's out. It's starting to get really annoying and frustrating to not even get one match in the hour various friends get 4 queue pops. Longest wait should get priority, period. WTF?

At this point it's better to just spam flag your queue in hopes of getting an instant.

If they won't acknowledge it, what makes you think they'll ever fix it. If the they gave a poop about developing and fixing pvp they wouldn't of released this loopsided fudgefest which is slaughter. 3.0 gold ads mount will make it all better though.

People like PvP because it's fast paced. These long Q times are destroying the small bit of PvP enthusiam this game created with Slaughter.

Reminds me of when I went off on the people at a very big electronics retailer because they had two really long checkout lines open during lunch and I suggested they open one of their other thirty empty checkout registers. So they did but they grabbed the people at the very end of the checkout line who had just gotten there and took them to the front of the new ones, vs those of us who had been standing there for 15 min. It's just common sense.
