    PVP queue times on Aether datac enter?

    As the title states, I'm wondering what the queue times are average for Aether.

    I've tried to do some PVP off and on when I have time but any time I've queued for any of the Frontlines (Roulette, Secure, Slaughter and Seize) battles the queues take forever. Between yesterday and today I've sat in queue for over 6 hours with no pop at various times of the day.

    Do certain GCs (I'm Maelstrom) have better queue times? It's extremely frustrating to not be able to enjoy content due to issues like this. I find PVP to be fun when I'm actually able to get in and it would be nice to pick up some of the gear for glamour.

    Maelstrom isn't the best ques. They have better then the flames but no where near the adders. Best thing to do is just pick seize make sure in progress is checked. Also look for a maelstrom linkshell on your server. Since I am not sure what times you play. But talking to some linkshell people will help you narrow down the windows to aim for.

    Might be a language problem thing? Or if you had bad luck, a broken Roulette kind of thing. Or maybe you're S.O.L. if it's a "time of day" kind of thing.
    Seize has been pretty active this week on Aether. All of my queues were for less than 1 hour. And most averaged only about 25 minutes or so.

    It is best to queue with only English as the active language. Unlike queuing for other content, multi-language queuing for PvP is a bad idea. This is because off how the DF system works.

    When players queue the DF places them in the first open slot in a match under one of the selected languages and each language has its own 24 or 72 slot match that the DF is trying to fill.

    This thread has a lot of people recently sharing their queue time experience. Aether it seems 3-5M is average for Adders where Mael and Flame seems to average 15 minutes to 40 minutes.
