Frontline roulette

[Kewitt]

Can I get an explanation on how it works?


I queued up 3 times and got into 3 frontlines one roulette. 2 seized. Each taking about 20 mins.
I queued in progress for all 3 and didn't get one in progress party, however zoning in the parties were 7/8
2nd filled to 8/8 and then someone got kicked 2 min timer for not moving when gate went down.
Then it was 8/8 again.


My hubby queued up in progress Frontlines Roulette, and after 72 mins he abandoned the queue.

We both queued up within seconds of each other for the roulette.


Edit: Same GC same server

I've seen it happen the other way aswell. Where he gets 2 queues before I get one.

PvP is related to your Grand Company. Are you both in the same Grand Company?

The roulette is screwed. The que system is screwed. Dead lobbies, weird prioritization, two hamsters trying to do the math for three teams. SE has been called out repeatedly in the pvp forums about the issues. No answers and no reasons. They did blow some smoke our way once saying they can't fix it because we might cheat.

The pvp queue has been broken since they implemented pvp. But SE doesn't really care about pvp so there has never been an attempt to fix it. You can be in queue for hours while someone else on your same server and gc will get in and out of several matches during the time you are queued. Been this way for almost 2 years now.

roulette atm is especially screwed up, spent a total of 1hr qing (reseting at 15mins) no pop

Switched to just solo seize insta pop join in progress, its a complete and utter mess.

What?

1) Languages. If you are queued for more than one language it'll lock in a language before cycling before through the runs that need filling. I highly suggest only queuing under the language that is more popular on your data center.

2) PvP Limbo. Every once in a while the PvP queue itself will get stuck in a "dead" queue (it can happen while in queue for one or two or all three or the roulette). It happens a lot more than you think. I recommend unqueuing every 45-60 minutes to avoid being stuck in one. I don't quite know what causes it or why it happens, but it does. :x

Well If the system is broken. They need to fix it. along with other paying customers. It's something I enjoy doing.


That or they need to full disclose PVP queues.

have it show X/8 X/8 X/8 or X/24 X/24 X/24. So we can see really how long we are going to be queued for. or if it's worth asking FC to join.
