[WvW] Impossible to play WvW in guild, queuing screwed

#1 - Sept. 5, 2012, 12:48 a.m.

Bug report:

WvW queue doesn’t behave as a queue. Queue time is random and we have guildmates queuing all day (sometimes up to 8 hours) without being able to enter while some other can enter, go out and re-enter meanwhile.

We all agree with queue time (although they should be reasonable) but the current random access to WvW preventing any kind of guild event is not acceptable and seriously ruining the WvW guild experience.

What should be in place

A queue behaving as a queue and indicating your position in the queue. We agree to wait but we want this time to be reasonable, the same for everyone and we want to know how long we will wait so that you can manage events.
Separated queue for each map and single map queuing only.
Population indicator for each map to help players to queue where it’s needed and faster to enter.

Question to ArenaNet

Do you acknowledge the bugged queue issue ? What is your plan to fix it ?

First of all, we understand the problems here reported. We see how inconvenient it is for those who are playing in guilds in WvW and cannot play fully as one.

But we also ask for a little bit of patience. The dev team is fully aware of this problem and working on a workaround to deal with it. We do not have an estimated time or date for the solution though.

I am closing now the thread but please, let us know again if this error has not been repaired in the following days.

Thanks!
