Twinks and bugged Battleground Queues - A sad story

You can only be queued for 2 of them. You can mix them though.

I don't get what you are trying to say, but reading the other replies, i think they separated the Arena Queues from the BG queues, so that you might be able to queue for 2bgs and 2 skrimishes at the same time.

Like I wrote you can be queued for 2 of them. 1 bg + 1 skirmish or 2 bgs or 2 skirmish like before.
What you now cant is being queued for random bg + extra bg-that got removed.

Also the average wait times got lowered but the actual pop times seem as long as yesterday.
 
Allowed queue combo for f2p are:

Random BG + 2vs2 skirmish
Random BG + 3vs3 skirmish
<Specific BG> + 2vs2 skirmish
<Specific BG> + 3vs3 skirmish
2vs2 skirmish + 3vs3 skirmish
<Specific BG> + <Specific BG>

and you can queue only for one of these combos.

Unallowed combo:

Random BG + WSG
Random BG + AB
Random BG + EotS
Random BG + AV

Personally I'll be queuing for EotS + AV until I don't get last achie I miss for Master of EotS. After that I'll be rolling my 1st ever healer ^^

There seem to be no improvement in queue times. Weird thing is: we had AB + WSG going at about 1pm and now 3 hours later when more and more people start logging their twinks we don´t get more than one pop going at once.
 
I experienced normal queues last night for AB/EoTS, with an accurate time estimate. It might have been just luck, but this was the first time since WOD I was able to play a string of BG's. Wait time was 2 to 20 minutes for 4 games.

Depends in what time you decide to play WoW. Helps a lot i guess, i for myself, when i have free days (no school and other stuff), i basically stay up all night, because thats the time i get most of the pops.
 
19:36 PM here
I was in que for random bg for 5 mins and AV poped! Luck? I dont think so. My 2nd AV since wod

AV popped on EU and where the hell was i? playing hearthstone :mad: damn 5 wins daily

Edit: q'ed 20 sec after writing post and AV popped in 4 minutes :D :D

There is most definitely a real problem at the center of all these issues, they are not explained through player habits or environmental conditions as the op tested and addressed.
However, battleground ques have been pausing for as long as I can remember. Its only since wod release that the frequency and duration of those pauses has increased.

This is no doubt a result of something higher up the event chain and not the direct cause or source of long que times. Acknowledging that you can't enter a bg you aren't qued for, it probably has to do with the shuffling of eligible players for eligible bgs, exasperated by the new conditionals added to incorporate more bgs and the random feature, and the resulting pause as your character is moved from one list to another.

So that may make no sense at all to you, but I didn't post to try to explain what I don't know, I thought I'd post to give everyone some bandaids that players have been using for a long time.
Some of you have tried relogging and reloading with some success, but for those of you who stare at your paused que for hours or happen to be farming herbs in china, start typing /reload.

The second method involves chilling out maxing relaxing outside your major city of choice. This is my preferred method of smacking blizzard servers on the side of the cooling case. All you have to do is phase into the city (walk through the gates of org or sw) and walk back out to achieve the same result as the first method.

The last method is the most effective and most passive. Que bg, speak to flight master, fly anywhere. This works really well because when on flight path you are constantly changing zones and on extended flights you can kick back while effectively reloading your bg que every few seconds. Of course there is money involved with flying right, but if you have the gold and would rather not spam relog or look like a lost child running in and out of cities, this is by far the most efficient way to get your bg to pop.
 
3 AV and 5 EotS pops in an afternoon... Not bad at all ^^

In a word... FIXED!

Heading to play wow rnow. This is getting me exited indeed, MoP times(Feeling Good with Queues)!!!

Dont be to hyped. People are still sitting in long queues and nobody knows why...
There are still huge gaps w/o any games at all.
Nothing is fixed yet. It might have gotten slightly better.
Don´t start spreading missinformation already!
