Yay for frontline

I was doing work on my other PC yesterday and got the Frontline queue up to 4 hours before I left.

Only 116 minutes?

When I have other stuff to do and can afford to just AFK in the PvP queue, I usually end up with something like:

Average wait time: 17 minutes
Time expired: 272:55

(add 100 more if it was 8v8 Feast instead)

It's only a slim amount of time compared to the hugh mungus amount of time some people end up queuing for it, but you get the gist of it.

8v8 is near instant pops almost every night for Aether.

8v8 is near instant pops almost every night for Aether.

I have work/school at night. Morning/afternoon 8v8 goes 6-7 hours solid without popping.

What time is the dividing line for the Aether PvP queue to go from '6 hours' to 'instant'? PvP popping like a PvE Tank queue sounds mythical and amazing.

Yeah I wasn't meaning to belittle you, sorry if it came across wrong. Just saying that (sadly) if my PvP queues regularly popped after 116 minutes, it would be a significant improvement.

Oh thats lame D:. I never tried 8v8 during that time of day, mainly because I usually have much more success with frontlines (shatter/seal rock) in the earlier hours than I do in the late hours.

Typically I start queueing 8v8 around 9PM EST, and it's almost non-stop queues for the whole night. At least it has been for the week.

Ah, okay. That matches up with my experiences then, I can get Frontlines to actually pop during my login time on good days (not a lot, but it does pop at least). Whereas the time you're saying 8v8 picks up is a couple hours after I leave for the night, so I guess I'm missing the window of opportunity completely.

Maybe its because you q as a DRK lool

Why would that affect anything about Frontline queue time?

Everyone should know by now to restart the q after 30min also on Aether you even get sealrock/slaughter pops on a regular base probably cause of WT.

This and que manually instead using roulette if possible.

Is there any actual experiments supporting this, or is it just anecdote / community legend? Because I've tried it in all the proposed ways — Roulette, no Roulette; Reset queue, don't reset queue — and ended up with basically the same average number of matches in a session.

Because every night that the (almost) the same 16 or 30 ppl que again and again... Like you and me XD
