I know this is pushing the limit but what the heck here goes.. A mini-game for Alliance Battles while waiting (sometimes WAY TOO LONG.) A scalable window could pop up (and maybe even pause when the battle actually begins) with some sort of mindless-fun-boredom-slaying-mini-game.

Few ideas~

Kurzick side - Turtle Hunt, Gothic Hair Salon, Mhenlo Paternity Test

Luxon side - Whack-A-Fungal, Where's Togo?, Jade Surfing

That's an idea, but I figure Guild Wars is the game I'm playing.. if I need to go to a flash site (and yes, I'm gonna check out that link of yours) then it kinda defeats the purpose of playing GW in the first place. That and the worry I would miss the battle while immersed in a game of Desktop Tower Defense or something.

This would just be a pointless addition to ignore the real solution: Anet need better AB servers.

Just start arguments with people in local chat. That will take up a LOT of time. Chances are you could have an hour wait, finish a game, come back, and they're on the second topic or created their own spanning from that.

Having a monitor supporting multiple inputs and picture in picture (or split screen) feature, really solves that problem quite nice. Any handheld will also do.

I totally Agree with Alex

ANet has many many many other thing to do than this.

Also Dual Monitors is the way to go, GWs on the left and a movie on the right, I'll let you guess what kind of movie.

the wait time in between AB's should be used to rally the troops imo. give your kurzicks a little pep talk before the battle.

Minimize your window and go search for something on the web.

Of all the comments this guy knows what really needs fixing. It's not like Anet is going to say 'yeah, we need mini-games in AB -- that'll make the masses happy!' I just felt SOME people (not alex the great, but some people) has a sense of humor and would enjoy the topic.

Funny, but unneccesary. Talk to guildies. Dance in the outpost.

Or pick up a book sitting by your desk and read a few pages. Make a sandwich.

I tend to read up on GTA IV reviews lately while waiting for an AB match, gotta see what the industry is saying about the game i helped make. Otherwise i just pop onto newgrounds.com and play some bloons because everyone knows its the most awesome flash game ever!

While it isn't a totally bad idea, I personally would just prefer to watch videos on youtube as I wait. /signed for a decent idea

Of course it was a joke, it was sarcasm at having to wait for AB so long.

What do I do while I wait in AB? Post useless suggestions on Guru
