[MERGED] This event looks like fun, so I wish I could play in it

It's now been 30 minutes waiting for a game... good stuff

Yeap....Anet messed up BIG whith this event.

Its nice but AB servers are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too overpopulated. The waiting time have been an issue long before the event was planned, don't know what on earth where they thinking of making it even more popular (more people) and still not increasing the server cappacities. It´s just stupid.

Latter.

Here are the reasons:

Lol, maybe I should go full healer/prot on my assassin

3 hours of constant waiting got me into 3 ABs, last night. all ADs on the kurzick side were filled to the brim, and the IDs to boot.

i'd be more upset if i wasn't almost always doing something else while playing GW heh.

There is only ever about 5 people there when i go or less! Im talking about evening (8pm onwards) euro server.

Pwnt much?

Certain maps of AB and certain times of day were ALREADY giving 5+ minutes of wait for a game...

Now its just rediculous.

I'm sorry to read of this. I will definitely pass this along.

First of all, I don't know what you people are talking about. So far, I haven't had to wait for more then 4 miniutes this weekend for a single AB battle.
With more people in the game that means there are more games going on which means that you get into games FASTER (I don't believe that 5 games at once BS, just hit B and count how many GvGs are going on at any one time).
The timer for this event has been the fastest its been for me for a long time, and I'm loving it.

My guilds kurzick. We waiting for ages (bout 20min) then got guest invites to a luxon guild and got in fast.


Then we won pretty much every match.

Tip:Go luxon.

Wow thread hate much >_<


Yeah Gaile please pass that along.... The other night we waited about 20mins to get into our second battle and it still never came, we logged and said the heck with it. If there is something that can be done about the wait time HUZZAH!

Even before this event, I have to wait on average 10 mins for a AB battle. Now, las night atleast, I was in 4 in around 2 1/2 hours.

I must be the luckiest person in all of GW, because i almost NEVER have trouble getting a match, it's weird.

Kurzkz side....about 40min ago.

4. AM districts and 4 INT. districts...

ALLL of em filled whith +4 groups waiting to get into the battle...

I waited for 25 minutes (playing my PSP btw, I would NEVER be all that patient without something else to do) and then just gave up.

Latter.

Yeah, I was playing Kurzick side (through guesting) and the wait is just terrible. So my guild and I switched back to Luxon side and there was no wait. On top of that, my guild and friends were able to all join in the same alliance battle and clean up in Grenz Fronteir.

As much as we wanted to get some amber besides jadeite all the time, the wait on the Kurzick side is just too long.

What this event is trying to tell everyone is "Buy nightfall and get more of same".

Thanks, but no thanks.

each AB needs 12 kurzick and 12 luxon players. i dont think its a server issue, its just that the kurzick AB outposts are filled with people wanting to play while the luxon ones seem to be not nearly as full. and its not as easy to switch sides as on the fort aspenwood or jade quarry maps.

Wow I've played in about 100 AB's this week-end, and haven't seen "No Opposing Party" a single time. Of course I play on the Luxon side. Who wouldn't want to play on the underdog side? This isn't Warcraft where if you're stuck on the majority side you have to reroll your character. Just join a Luxon guild or get a guest invite to one. Problem solved.

JOIN THE LUXONS!

Elo L.S.,

I guess most of you joined in the double-your-frustration weekend of 15-17 septembre.
I also guess most of you seen the "No opposing party found. Restarting countdown timer." About 200 of these pop up before you get teleported to the battle and which you then pwn in 5 mins. That would result in 1 or 2 battles every hour.

I played the Kurzick side of the AB, but I cant imagine that we outnumbered the Luxons with 200:1. So my guess is that Anet didnt get enough servers and therefor we cant pwn eachother.
Rumors about how the line shift works: Each map is played on 5 servers, each server standing for another territorial part of the map. If Kurzicks win the most fights, the territory shifts to their favor. The maps are same as in Home and International districts, so I guess these servers are worldwide. So that would mean there are just a limited number of consecutive games that can be played at once.

This same problem also occured with Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarry weekends and the double fame weekend was laggy as hell. I just dont understand that Anet doesnt expect an increased number of players during these weekends and dont prepare some 'flexible' servers that can change to the situation needed.

As for now, I resign myself from AB, because the double-faction weekend DOESNT WORK. It will be far faster to earn faction outside the weekend, playing 6 games per hour which only give half the faction of this weekend games.
