Have opponent counters in Alliance Battles

Currently, people wanting to AB have on idea how long theyll have to wait in a district for a game, as they dont know if there are 500 opponenets or 5, and i have personally wasted around 10 minutes many times wiating for games that do not materialize.

A little box in the corner or an NPC you talk to that gives you the numbers of kurzicks and luxons waiting in districts similar to yours (eg american or international) would be a great service ot all ABers out there sick of waiting.

With this we could atleast know whether we are wasting our time or not.

// Seconded

I'd really love to see how many are playing..
or atleast find out from a dev wether or not american can play european, korean, american and international districts.

swapping between american and international and watiing 45minutes for an alliance battle kinda sucks.

Great idea, Kurtas.

I've found the biggest problem for the Alliance battles to be the wait when you're playing at the wrong time of day. I hope that something like this gets implemented.

I totally agree also. some sort of indication of how many games you must wait for to be played before its your turn would certainly be appreciated.

Also wouldnt it be cool if you could watch a gvg/tombs game while you wait for your game to begin if there are long wait times ??!!

Great idea Kurt, certainly might reduce the frustration of mindlessly waiting.

What they said.

Something needs to be done... Last night we had 46+ times that we had no opponent. Thats crap!

Waiting blindly is not fun, and it is cruel teasing us with a slimmer of hope every 30 seconds.

Having some sort of idea about when, or, worse, if you can get in to a game would be very useful.

The same goes for the Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood.

A simple message like "There are 5 Luxon (groups) and 2 Kurzick (groups )waiting." would be great.

Short of this suggestion, could someone at Anet atleast let us know how the AB matching up system works so we can know if we're wasting our time?
And some word on the rumours of "the servers can only handle x games at a time." would be nice.
