is it me or are these que times even getting worse every day ,
blizzard is telling these que times aren't a problem becouse no one cares.
But this que times are starting to get a real problem , I mean 15 minuit que in 2v2 is not funny anymore.
I could laugh with the 8 min que's and I don't care about it becouse it was acceptable and then I would go like 3v3 but now even the 3v3 que's are arround 7 min latly so you basicly have to do 5v5 all the time to get instant que's and play all the time without w8ting.
I make this post for letting blizzard know these que times are really getting a trouble , every player wants to play more arena every day becouse it's fun , you can do it any time and some people are just getting bored of other bg's and people like me that cleared BT and all raid instances in a phew days now can't do anything else then arena so letting this que times be like this by not buying any new server becouse it aint a problem is an outrage and bull%@*!
post here what you think off this becouse it's rly pissing me off and so much other players

True.. Its a huge problem. Every day, its minimum 10 min. wait time for 2 vs 2. Its crap .. are they ever gonna fix this

I don't think blizzard could afford to pay all the costs to reduce the arena ques, no, not enough money, can't doooooooit captain!

t's an issue, and we're aware and will be making changes to help with the wait times. The change will require a patch, but will not be a part of 2.3.2. I'll state a vague "future patch" just to be safe, but we're hoping to resolve the wait times as soon as possible.
The change will make it so that more instances can kick up in a shorter amount of time. Which doesn't necessarily mean there can't ever be a wait again, but it should drastically decrease them. Of course, prime-time 2v2 is still going to be run the most and susceptible to the longest wait, but our hope would be to make "the longest wait" inconsequentia

Q u o t e:
We are aware that the queue times for arenas are longer than desirable (especially in 2v2) and changes are coming which should address this.

Any changes that are made will need to be done in a patch and at the moment all we can confirm about that is that it won't be in 2.3.2; only at some other point in the future.

The idea is to allow for more arena instances to be active in a shorter time. It's true that this won't fully eliminate the waiting times but it should reduce then significantly ,and we are hoping that the longest possible waiting time will be something reasonable even in the prime-time arena periods.

if the Q cuts in half, it will be alot better

what realy bothers me is these meaningless replies from blissard.

point 1. well if you fellas didnt knew that the quee times are longer then desired,that would say something.but posing stuff all players allready know is kinda useless.

point 2. its like listening to politican's never a lear answer,only words that will give us slightly hope,but will allso gives you the oportunity to delay this as long as you want to.

p.s if you cant post something solid like: hey by the next month we will increase the server capasaty to atleast be able to take doubble the game we can now.or somthing.why post at all?is it just to calm down the players for a big or what???

getting realy tired of,we are planing/we are looking into/in the near future..

thank god you fellas arent building my house. yes i know you dont have a roof yet,but we are looking into the issue

if i would have provided this kind of service in my job,i moight aswell have stayed home.

Do you know anything about developing software?

Judging by your post I'm going to say No.

A vague answer for a release date is all you will ever get because not even the developers know when a patch will be complete.

aye you are correct. i have no idea about developing software,and never clamed i did.

i do know slighty about service though.


A vague answer for a release date is all you will ever get because not even the developers know when a patch will be complete.
so you mean they have no idea? could be 2-3 years?

atleast they should keep us in the loop,im not asking for a definitive date. just a bit more clear answer on what they are planing to do... i assume they atleast know what they are actualy working tiowards.dont you?

People like you are the main reasons people like Crezax left Blizzard, they post and they get flamed by ignorant people who have NO CLUE what the hell it takes to just 'increase the capacity' by next month, you cannot just press a single button and increase it. They just can't!

It takes a lot of time to plan these things, because it's not just one server, no we are talking about what? 50? Maybe even more? I wouldn't know, but I do know that every single server has to be reprogrammed just for that.

Yes I know I am flaming but people like you piss me off even over the internet, now let the Blues do their job and stop moaning about it, because if they wouldn't post at all you would be whining about that.

Goodluck flaming me back.

never said next month.
sure it takes a long time to sort it out, but dont tell me they have no idea how long it would take.
if they think they can fix it within 6month's why can that say that?

and yes,you might gett offended by my post, same as i feel about their post.

all im asking for is for them to be abit more open about ther plans,thats all.

if Arena is all people do and they have to wait 10min for each game, why not keep em in the loop. and my post wasn't just about arena, its about AFK'er's and all other subjects that people want to have some answers to.

They have a rough idea but complications almost always arise which can lead to a major redesign or some such that cause the project to be late.

EA has been known to make their employee's work 9 hour days 7 days a week just to get a product out the door on time.

EA makes terrible games though.

Tharfor has been completely honest and given us all the information he can.

They know, they're going to fix it but he doesn't know when.

aye correct Tharfor have been completely honest, but my post was ment for the blizzard company,not Tharfor himself (sry bout that,should have been more spesific in my fist post)

Service has absolutely nothing to do with software development, so if you know something about service, then you know that GMs have no clue on when it will be done other than it will eventually be done. Blue reply above is as precise answer as you can get, and noone can give you more accurate answer, not even programmers.

Keeping you in loop? What for? It won't speed up development, but it might delay it if devs would waste their time explaining stuff instead of working on it. Let them do their job and enjoy playing.

The queue times are fixed, and when it increases on spesific times, you will expire a short laggspike. This have been confirmed by gamemasters also.
This times are set from when people normaly want to go and when not, and it have nothing to do with how big the queue right now is. Its only taken from average.

Blizzard, you can tell me to wait and wait, bur guess what? You have competition, and soon Age of Conan is here. And i know 100% that you will loose alot of players due this queue issue.

Well, i guess its not the CMs fault they cant give proper answers to people. That is a flawd further up in the system.. thing i dont get tho:

Yes, im no software developer.. but howcome one can hotfix WF in notime, but adding some mana to manastones takes months? And sure i knw 2.3.2 isnt only about mages manastone.. but i believe most mages + others gettin buffs would take a fix to the arena queue times above class changes.. why?

Well its kinda obivious that the whole "balance-train" was at the station and left without blizzard a looong time ago.. so why not make the gaming experience better for all b4 u do some minor fixes to classes?

I agree with the above poster; queue times and ofc the balance issues will make 25th of march a great day to change mmorpg to waste my time on :P

frankly i'm sickened
I have to wait whole seconds, sometimes minutes to get into arena. I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY LIFE. Sort it out, this isn't right. I'm a patient guy by nature, as you can obviously tell by this post, but i can't stand having to 'Talk' to people, or worse 'Read' a book while waiting

gg :P
