Average WF Queue Time is 13 Minutes

I'm curious to get a sense of others take on what this may be the result of.  Queue times for a Warfront being 13-minutes.

I don't know, but its annoying when I get a 10+ minute queue and the menu says it has an 11 second average wait time.

Haven't waited more then about 5 minutes myself, but I am only lvl 19.

30 seconds for Guardian. One of the bigger reasons I rolled this. Also they do it by tieing 3 servers together because pve'rs cried when they kept getting warfronts with pvp servers.

Instant on prime time here. A couple minutes after 5am in the morning. Bloodiron EU.

Are you trying for a specific WF or are you queuing for all? I should correct that it's instant when I queue for all of them.

Also OP, what level bracket are we talking about? I'm on the 50 one.

Ive never had to wait more than a minute - ever...

 

10 minutes also isn't even really that long - go quest/rift while you wait?

 

I find the queues are almost TOO fast.... I can't get anything done while I wait

When I played on Defiant side there were queues so I rerolled Guardian and no more queues.

It varies by what bracket you are in. In the 30-39 bracket it took much longer than it does now that I hit 40. 40-49 is only a few minutes before I am in to a WF. 10-19 is generally almost instant and 20-29 isnt too far behind. Most likely it is just based on the number of people playing and the balance of the two sides. Guardians for the most part seem to be outnumbered so thats why its instant for us while the Defiant have to sit around a while longer. 

Also inb4 someone says its because the population is dying and this game will be dead in a month.

Guardian side it's almost insta-queue, Defiant has been 1-10 min never longer.

Im defiant on Briarcliff and ive never waited more then a couple minutes during late nights and less then 30 seconds any other time.

vmoped

ON Estrael server defiant is 1-10 mins, guardian 0-4 mins.

Varies by server group.

Cheers!

I've played Guardian and Defiant on the same server.  Guardians 1-3 minute wait, while the Defiants are 5-10 minute wait times.  I tried to play a quick match this morning before work.  I queued up on my Defiant while ironing my clothes, 16 minutes and no pop on the queue.

depends on the time of day (and server location), faction side, and level.  Guardian is fast to get in the game during peak u.s. hours at any level on a u.s. server, but its veeeery slow during euro hours.  Level 40 warfronts are pretty dead overall as someone playing on probably the most populated server. 

these become quicker if you form a group generally.

What server are you on?

I'm on tearfall, my queues are usually instant or under 1 minute.

Ikeda

I play on Harrow.. I play 9am-1pm EST and 8pm-12am EST.  My avg. wait time is 5 minutes for Guardian, 1.5 minutes for Defiant.  On average, I see mostly Briar or Fae players in the WF's I've been in.

on deepstrike (cross server) warfronts, they are currently filled with botters on both sides (mostly defiant) in 30's and 40's.  it helps fill in queues....but its really annoying if you are playing with them.

Yea.  I probably think that one of the reasons for long queue times is that little to nothing is available to address the botters / afk'rs.  This recent video says alot.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG_6hRZNVfE&tracker=False

reasons for long warfront delay

1. your level range there are fewer people and of those...fewer are signing up for warfronts.

2. you put yourself in que for 1 specific warfront instead of  "join all"  which is much quicker.

3. you are playing at a time that is off-peak time where much less amount of players are online.

The warfronts are still instant at level 50.

 

A really naughty way to get off the hook if you get cornered in world PvP atm is to fire up the warfront menu and instantly disappear in a warfront.

I expect this to be fixed so you can't port to warfronts while in combat, eventually.

I'm level 34 and get in almost immediately...sometimes after only a minute or two but never longer.
