0. 2.4 Arena Wait Times 23/04/2008 05:13:55 PDT

Since the release of the 2.4 patch we've been working to tighten up the changes made to help address longer wait times when attempting to get into an arena match. While we're fairly certain it's been successful, we'd like your feedback relating to the wait times, how they were before the patch and how they've been lately.

As our changes have been continual since patch 2.4, please only leave feedback if you've played in the last week.

2v2 and 3v3 Qs are alot better atm, imo.
5v5 i dunno since were not very active.

But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,

2v2 times on cyclone are amazing now, i dunno what you did but it defo worked. Nearly always instant after 8pm (which is when i play), i dunno about daytime/afternoon tho, cause i dont play at that time.

Remarkably much better now. I haven't had to wait for an arena game for more than a couple of minutes since the first few days after patch.

Waiting times are usually ok (1-2-3 minutes tops), but when wednesday nears, the waiting time goes up to 6-7-8 minutes easily.

Yes, the que times are alot better now. <1 minute almost 24/7 on Cyclone in 2v2. This is ofc very good, but it brings up different problems. That however, is another topic.

It's been great! Less than 1 minute in all brackets at all times (that includes thuesday afternoon which were at 12 minutes before 2.4).

I'm happy as I could be, now its possible to play 2v2 with 1 minute queue, last week we did more 2v2 then I did in entire s2, for 3v3 it got a lot better after 2.4, but 1 minute queue made this game fun again when I had nothing to do, since 2v2 is so easy to play.

So thumb up there.

Finally 2v2 queue is perfect.
3v3 and 5v5 queues are perfect as they always were.
But BG queues begins to <censored> a "little bit" e.g. 15-20min for Eye of the Strom each day is kinda long, don't you think ?

01, 02, three - CDs aren't ready,
04, 05, six - stun resist, I'm at risk,
07, 08, nine - rogues are fine,
10, 11, twelve - NE-cats have better stealth,
13, 14, fifteen - duel won, oh! my e-peen.

Well in my BG - Reckoning they were always 1 to 4 min long. Nowadays since the patch they are around 1 min for AV and 4-20 min for other BGs.

01, 02, three - CDs aren't ready,
04, 05, six - stun resist, I'm at risk,
07, 08, nine - rogues are fine,
