During the preview, we were doing a lot of 12 vs 12 Alliance Battle, and we only need to wait for less than a minute to join the battle. After official release of Factions, I waited 20 minute more to join a single battle, which means I can do 3-4 runs in RA. Waiting for 20 minutes to play PvP is not good for an online game.
Does anyone know the reason behind of this long waiting?
BTW, I can't search the forum, so please let me know if another thread has addressed this issue already.
12 vs 12 Alliance Battle Waiting Problem

no, havnt got a clue what your on about :S
after forming a team I join straight away 95% of the time, sometimes it has to count down once more with a 'no opposing party'
But this is VERY rare.
unless you mean faction battles?.. Jade quarry?

Wat i hate is waiting like 1 min to get into the battle......1 min for the battle to start......there should be an option to skip the cinematic.......
Tingi

Only on very rare occasions have I found the wait to AB to be *less* than 5 minutes.
Now granted, I'm on the Kurzick side. I'm sure that the Luxons get into battle more quickly, there are less of them.
The problem is that (I believe) they only run five alliance battles at a time. Period. I'm sure that's a hardware limitation, they have to dedicate probably 2-3 servers to each running battle. But I believe that they should notice the wait issue and address it with more hardware.
Just MHO.

I think you wait because there just aren't that many people doing Alliance battles. If you're by yourself trying to get in you have to wait longer because the server has to team you with 3 other people to make up a 4 man unit. If you go with a 4 man unit then you get in right away.

I just want to get in there, play a round and get out.
And I hate Random Arena.

ive heard 2 reasons.. and id like to know which is more accurate ...
one is that there can only be 5 battles going at once and the servers are full
two is that there are simply a far lesser number of luxons than kurzicks
anyone have the truth ?

BTW: I think it's about the same as RA. There are tons of angry 12 year old kids that spew bile at everyone. It's also lame that you can only see your 4-man unit.

From what I know Kurzick has more players then luxon so that might be why kurzick peoples can't get in right away.
Currently luxon has 2! districts in America during my prime time.

When I played luxon side we'd enter on the first or second countdown almost every time - now that I play kurzick side I spend a lot of time waiting.

I think he has it backwards. For an entire day during Factions beta event on the kurzick side, I had to wait 45 min for a match each time.

During FPE i rarely waited more than a minute to do an alliance battle. Now days if i want to do an alliance battle it rarely takes less than 5 min after hitting enter battle/mission (i forget wat it actually says), not to mention you have to get a group together, ect. I'm on kurzick side so maybe it lack of luxons i dk does anyone really know?
Arkantos
in FPE everyone was doing alliance battles. Now, not as many do. If 12 kurzicks and only 6 luxons are waiting for battle, you'll be waiting for the other 6 luxons to come.

Thanks for everyone sharing the infomation.

At least alliance battles don't have mass quitters like Fort Aspenwood had today. I have never seen anything like this. All because Kurzick team had one AFK player 
I defended the base alone for fun and soon AFK one quitted too.
