FourPawnBenoni Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Been in queue for 20 minutes, at 10:45pm on a Friday night, pub side 5.0 no bueno Edited December 31, 2016 by FourPawnBenoni
teclado Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 My guess is that one or more hackers were in queue. Furthermore, I think people are getting fed up and burnt out with this CXP grind. Even unranked on Harb is slowing way down. Just had an arena in which two on my team quit at the beginning, got no backfill for the entire game and had to suffer through two rounds of 2v4. This was during about 7pm server time on a Friday night...

It just might be too steep of a climb tbh. I honestly wonder how much of a difference the gears make anyway. Wish there was a way to see someone test 208s and compare them to the highest tier stuff now, which I am clueless of because it's so far away I don't even feel it's worth reading about.
frosttj Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Ebon Hawk's solo ranked que always dies out a few weeks into the season, then picks up at the end with all the hopefuls that xfer on to "farm the rpers". I'd stick a few toons on harb if you want any consistency in pops. Or if your latency isn't horrible, TRE is good as well.
Jherad Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 They need to make it so people can queue for both regs and ranked at the same time already. Once ranked pops drop below a critical level, people stop queuing at all because it takes too long, and they want to get SOME PvP done.
Savej Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 They need to merge servers and make arenas x-faction. That will make q-syncers and a small number of hackers less server crushing or relevant in general.
Larsky Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Here is ranked on Ebon Hawk as of 5.0: beginning of season everyone queued, including people who had either never pvpd before or were only doing it to get the Cxp and then stucking in middle. The server also has some issues with win traders and guilds who throw matches for their guildmates. Therefore the people who could be successful quit queueing ranked for the most part. But we are planning on scheduling some grouped ranked starting this month.
