  1. Why are you attacking people and saying that they are failing, because they happened to chose (usually with no real insight) a server that maxes out the queues at reset? Am I a failure because I refuse to pay gems to transfer to another server?Am I a failure because I want to continue to play with my friends on this server? Clearly YOUR experience is different - congratulations. You're on a small pop server. No reason to demean or insult people and say that it is their failure that Anet can't support their server's capacity. There is absolutely no reason why response time on clicking a box once should impact whether someone can play for hours at a time.(Also, as I said part of my complaint is that that DOESN'T matter - often times it is the people that click first that get stuck in the fake queue and end up not getting in, and it's people that click a few seconds later that get into a real queue that processes within a few minutes. So again, how is that a "fail" on the part of the people?)
  2. While I appreciate all the comments that seem to indicate it's my server's fault, players shouldn't really be responsible for micromanaging around a system limitation.The fact is our server DOES prepare well in advance of reset night. Every guild and commander have a designated map, usually with some pairing, etc.It's not that I'm trying to get into the one and only map that is queued. Or that I am frustrated that there is a queue.It's that if I want to play during reasonable hours on a Friday evening, at reset, it's like a crapshoot even if I am sitting waiting as of 30 minutes before reset to prepare.I hit my travel, and I either go in right away, or that map (and every other map) is queued up from 30-80 people.My frustration with the functionality is that if my queue number says 3, I should reasonably be able to assume that I'm close to 3. If there are 20 people in my guild that are also at 3, I'm really not 3. And that kills the entire night, because at 23 I'd feel comfortable walking around, getting a drink, doing laundry, etc, and keeping an eye on the queue as it dips. At 3, I need to sit and not miss my shot.If I am sitting at "3" in the queue for over an hour, then there is a problem with that system.And I can't just decide "oh hey I'll go play on another map with other people" when every map is queued up. Yes, maybe the desert BL will open up about 3 or 4 hours later.And yes, it's nice that there are other things to do. I enjoy a lot of PVE content, and will play it. But I don't think it's unreasonable that the game be asked to support WvW as a play mode.Especially when in a lot of cases, these queues or fake queues come after stutters or other technical problems. There are any number of ways they could spread out the queue up time if they wanted to. It's just frustrating.But hey, I suppose it's easier for players on low population servers to just point and laugh because the problem doesn't impact them. I hope you all never get paired with a good server at any point and find that you can't get into WvW at your usual lackadaisical pace for the duration of the pairing.
  3. I'm not talking about just having long queues. I mean, I get that it is important to keep the experience consistent for the players that do make it in, not allow too many of one server in, etc etc.I get it if I show up 15 minutes after reset, a high demand time, that I may have to wait in a queue to get in. Or even if I am not one of the fastest people to click the moment it becomes available, I can end up in a queue.What is absolutely frustratingly unacceptable is that week after week the queues are just flat out broken.Tonight, for the fourth reset in a row, our guild's squad of 50 had a dozen or so get in, but the rest all stuck at "9" in the queue. 26 minutes in, and no one has moved from 9.Last week, we sat at "3". Some of us got in after an hour or so. Most of us just gave up before that point.I'm sure we're not the only ones that are dealing with this.It's bad enough that actual game updates for WVW mode are few and far between.But the fact that it is, all jokes and memes aside, LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE is ridiculous.Set up a queue, sure. Let us watch our progress and know where we stand, sure. If it says there are 28 people ahead of me, I know that I can probably go and grab a drink while I wait, but if it's moving I know that eventually I'll get in.But when everyone is sitting at 9 not knowing if we'll have a chance to play tonight or not, until MAYBE at some random time all of those that are stuck in this weird queue state suddenly get dumped in, or maybe not at all...That's just not a sustainable way to have a game.
  4. Glad to see the devs care about the actual literal ability to play their game.
  5. And another night that this game is (all jokes aside) literally unplayable for me. You all broke something recently, and it's preventing me from doing the most enjoyable thing I get from GW2. Tonight, just like I've done for every Friday night for quite a while, I was standing in Lion's Arch, in front of a portal, ready to frantically hit F so I could play this game with my friends.And tonight, just like for the past three weeks, the time came I hit "F" and nothing happened.Nothing. Now, there have been a few times where hitting "F" didn't immediately get me in - I've ended up in queue, maybe 10, maybe 20, whatever. And I've waited, because I understood that was on me. But as soon as I hit F, it put me into the queue. Ever since whatever you guys did (anecdotally someone tonight said it seems like it was since you mucked with the downed state), if you press F maybe it works. Maybe it doesn't. I hit F. F. F. FFFFFfffffffff. Nothing. And before you ask, yes, the little floating gold bubble for Interact was up. I was exactly where I needed to be. Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. I stopped, pulled back, pulled up the wvw box, tried to go in again. 70. For the Desert Borderland (the least popular WvW map at that). I play in an active WvW guild that has a full squad every night for reset. Or we used to. Half of us are in. Half of us aren't. So while I am doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING right now aside from watching a queue slowly drift down, the rest of my friends are having a playable but awful experience because the rest of us aren't there to support them. Again, I understand the need for queues. We know how this process works. We understand all of it. Except this current BS JUST started recently. You all did something. I find it highly unlikely that all of a sudden half of our guild became incapable of doing the exact same thing we've been doing forever to be able to get into the game. I don't get to play six hours every day. I look forward to reset every week. And I can't play it. Why? What did you do? FIX IT. Again, all of the jokes and memes aside - I AM LITERALLY UNABLE TO PLAY RIGHT NOW.
