Twinks and bugged Battleground Queues - A sad story

Tell Holinka he doesn't need any specific character names, because you guys had "way more than 10".

You didn't mention locked queues. unlocked queues are working as normal.

no, they aren't. the only reason we dont see reports of it is because the bug isnt as big an issue at max level it still effects queues but theres so many people in the queue it doesnt make a huge difference

On other nights where we had way more than 10 on each side there's still like 20-30 minutes inbetween games where it used to pop instantaneously with the last one ending even if it was mostly the same people. There's definitely a bug that's effecting bg ques right now. I have personally missed several pops in a row on my 19s because of paused ques. No one's putting in the effort to que because of the bugged ques. If people weren't missing games for no reason and if pops didn't take way longer than they need to they wouldn't be so discouraged with 19s and would actually play them again. Just because you didn't have a problem getting into one game doesn't mean other people didn't get left out of the pop even if they qued before you. I literally can't believe you said there isn't a bug with ques. If there isn't then what the hell would you call bg ques pausing randomly. Last time I qued I literally didn't leave org at all (thinking maybe zoning could cause the pausing) and didn't que for arenas at all that day but it still paused and the average wait time still kept disappearing. The issue is both a bugged que and a lack of activity. The low activity only makes the bugged que more apparent. When there were 20-30 19s on for each faction the bugged ques didn't really matter because the sheer volume of players allowed pops to happen even if that meant leaving people out who qued before others. Pops used to happen the second there were enough people on both sides to support a game (not even the full 20 people) yet that has not been the case at all this expansion. Now pops generally take 30-45 minutes after there are more than enough people to get a pop (at least in the old system where bgs didn't always need to be filled). Bgs are not popping as they should which is why I would consider this issue a bug and is clearly not what blizzard intended.

But there are so many other factors you are neglecting.

In the BG I was in yesterday, only 2 alliances were from Twinkinfo. The rest were all first timers. Meaning that during your 20-30 minutes with no games, there could have been a game going on. You just didnt know about it because not all 19s are on Twinkinfo or on our friends list :)

That situation would be an optimistic one, but you are probably right based on the fact that it wouldnt be the first time Blizz has issues with BGs. lol

Rusks speaks the truth. Battleground queues in general are bugged.

My queues bug at max level quite a bit. Every now and then I'll sit in a 10-15 minute queue, only to leave queue and requeue into a near instant pop. Or, I'll be in Skype with someone and mention to them how I've been in queue for 10-15 minutes, and shortly after they'll queue up and get an instant pop.

The reason twinks notice it much easier is because of the smaller population of players.

Yeah it's a possibility there was a game going on during the wait, but it's highly unlikely that all of the 19s from bleeding hollow would miss the pop. And to me that's only one other reason that is pretty much absurd not the "so many other factors [i'm] neglecting" unless you can actually come up with other reasons that was just an exaggeration especially since you yourself said it probably wasn't the case. There seem to be a vast array of factors you are ignoring yourself that have already been mentioned in this thread so i'm not even going to bother since you clearly just want to argue for argument's sake.

You miss read my intentions. Keep in mind I am a level 10 twink. What I say is not all in the intent to insult someone. I was agreeing with you if you read correctly. Youve been exposed to too much BH ego my friend.

you literally suggested a ludicrous statement that there could have been a game that popped while everyone who's actually active in the community waited in que that you yourself acknowledged probably wasn't the case. I just don't get the point of bring up a point you know to be incorrect. You also said there are "so many other factors i'm neglecting" I asked you to mention those factors and you didn't. There's no reason to get offended by my comments. You were just playing devil's advocate for no reason.
 
With todays restart you can´t queue for Random BG AND specific BG anymore. You can queue random + 1 skirm, 2 specific BGs, 1 specific BG and 1 Skirm or 2 skirms.
We will see if that changes anything in terms of long queues. But they might working on something here.

Edit: Don´t want to be to optimistic here but my queue hasn´t paused for about 10 mins now. Could be just a new record tho. But maybe they fixed something :)

I do not know how you want me to respond to your comments.

You claim that there are various other factors i'm not seeing, yet you will not say what any of the other factors are. I want you to actually say why you think my opinion could be wrong (even tho you also seem to agree with me) instead of saying i'm wrong for many reasons and then not saying them. I don't know why you believe i'd think you were trying to insult me because i didn't and if you can read correctly i merely stated that your example was ludicrous and highly unlikely. I think it is sending a mixed message since you yourself don't even think it to be true. The way you phrased your statement is honestly confusing because one second you say i'm not seeing the whole picture, then you say i'm probably right after all. I literally just want you to explain what the other factors you claim i'm not seeing are, i don't get how you don't realize that's what i was asking you to explain since i asked what your other reasons were in my last two posts.

p.s. big money no whammies that blizz actually fixed the ques.

That sounds very promising. My fingers are crossed that it is fixed. :eek:
