Long AB waits - Guild Wars Forums

4ssassin · Jan 13, 2007, 01:33 AM // 01:33

Just a question. does anyone really know why the AB waits are so long? i often blame the servers, but HA, RA, and TA dont have these kinds of waits, just AB?

AB is the only form of pvp that i truely enjoy, and i really dont think its right that all the other pvps have an easy time getting in, but abers are sometimes forced to wait 15+ mintues for a game. If someone from Anet could respond, it would be nice. and if this is supposed to be in sardalec, sorry mods ><

I would assume because there are too few players, so you must wait until there are enough.

i dont know about luxon side, but i would say that 2 full dists should be enough players.

There are more Kurzicks than Luxons by a fairly large ratio. I've been guesting Luxon because I can get in first try, instead of waiting 5-10 minutes on the Kurzick side.

I always heard people say that anet doesnt have enough servers to host that many games... only like 3-5 go on at a time.
I've played on both sides and if your luxon you get into a game right away so the player ratio does play a large roll.

talked to some luxons today and they have a long wait too. but i get the point. suppose anet needs to give ppl incentive to go luxon

bc ab pvp isn't put on the pvp islands. ppl dont remember or bother to go to ab through those extra clicks and long waits.

I've never waited more than 1 minute to get into an AB guesting on the Luxon side. Maybe I'm just not on during the peek time ABs are played, but they're not waiting anywhere near the time Kurzicks are.

There's too many Kurzicks, I've tried it as well. No wait @ Luxon side, 15 minute wait @ Kurzick side...

I have 2 accounts, 1 in Kurizik guild, the other is Luxon. on Kurizik side, theres always at least 3 districts full (well, 3th one half full but whatever). On Luxon side, theres only 1 district full, and district 2 has 1 or 2 lost afk players. maby if ANET forces Jade and Amber to be same price we will see more Luxon guilds.

but the economy is the economy *sigh*

Edit: blame the warior kurizik armor ^_^.
how many Kurizik tanks there is vs how many Luxon tanks! since amber is more expensive then jade people choose to go Kurz in case they want to get the armor, and if they want to get luxon, they sell the amber, buy the jade and are still in profit.
