Battleground Queue System Needs to Change

[Dreez]

let me tell you this:
blizzard changed the queue system +rewards from doing BGs in TBC for a very good reason

[Odomiah]

Why the hell can I only queue one BG at a time? That is not blizzlike at all.

multi queue came up in 1.9

now pls check which patch are WE on..

Let's face it: no matter what the queue system is, people will still bitch.

Yeah I can already imagine it: "Oh no the queues are too fast I don't have to wait around OG for 20mn every 20mn BG!" "Oh no I got matched against other players that don't really know each other, now the BG is relatively fair!" "Oh no my premade team got matched to another premade team, we'll have to fight!"

Ok, maybe the last one...

I already said I have absolutely zero issue with queuing against an Alliance pre-made, I welcome it, but it shouldn't take 20+ minutes to do so.

If the population is so ungodly unbalance then Nost needs to offer players the ability for horde to have free transfers to Alliance and incentive to do so to allow balance to the server.

My question and issue remains the same, is the long queues on the horde pvp side the experience nostalrius wants to give their players?

I feel like the only people responding here are either A) Alliance or B) not interested in PvP. It's obvious you have no idea what it's like to sit in queue for an extended amount of time. I had a guild team of 13 players over the AB weekend and we sat in queue for 35 minutes before my players decided to give up and leave. This cannot be how PvP BGs are meant to be played.

It's impossible to queue as a team. We have to resort to countdown single queues and hope the queue is quick and we all get in the same game together, which typically doesn't happen and we have to deal with the confusion on teamspeak of who's in which game. It's just an annoyance and and completely unnecessary when it can all be fixed. (the fact there is a workaround to the problem is a glaring indication that there is indeed a problem)

You can shrug it off "someone will bitch." blah blah. Yeah, I'm that someone who has a serious issue with the game play and it affects a large portion of the way I play this game on this server. It may not effect someone who doesn't play BGs, but I do. I have a whole guild built around it. It affects us, and we're voicing our opinion and suggesting the issue is looked into.

Never played retail vanilla, but I would assume that the queues then could get pretty ridiculous since here we have like 3x population of retail max server and pretty even faction split and we still have people complaining about queues.

I wonder what queues were like on low/med servers or ones with high faction imbalance since there were not cross realm bg's.

idk tho, you seem like a good/knowledgeable player OP so im sure you know what your talking about

I take it no Dev has taken me up on the queue challenge? So now I'm going to compile a ton of screenshots of me sitting in queue for 15+ minutes until my eyes bleed.

[Setup]

20-25 minutes is about how long the waits were on horde for my retail vanilla server (before x-realm BGs.) At night, it wasn't uncommon to see 8-10 hour queues.

If you didn't expect to wait 20 minutes on horde, that's your failure to do research and understand the game you're playing. You roll alliance if you want faster queues in exchange for fewer PVP players, worse PVP players, and worse PVP racials. You roll horde if you want the better pvp players and racials in exchange for long queue times.

Welcome to 1.12.

[Gkasual]

Your vanilla experience was much different than mine. We had insta-queues on horde side where we ran two 15 man AB premades every single night. (before x-realm) So yes my expectations are a little different. Being a private server, I would believe they have more control and can tweak as needed to allow everyone an excellent vanilla experience.

Let's face one simple fact, this isn't 1.12. Nostalrius already have taken liberties to stray from the vanilla wow experience, why shouldn't we expect them to make appropriate tweaks to allow for any even better "vanilla" wow server?
