A short question about AB & GvG. - Guild Wars Forums

Piippo · Apr 10, 2010, 06:51 PM // 18:51

So I'm new to this kind of PvP and was wondering, how long time does an average AB and GvG match take?

(Don't know if this is the right forum section so move if needed)

AB takes about 10-15 minutes.(but it takes 30 minutes to get a battle)

A good GvG takes 25+ minutes.

Ok, thanks for the very quick answer.

AB takes 10-15 Minutes as above, and of course is not too hard to get into a team for.

GvG is considerably longer, but is more challening - unless you are in a willing guild - to get into. But, as stated above, 25minutes+

AB takes 5-15 minutes actually. And a GvG match can be done in 1 minute if they dont load in, otherwise it can be done in between 5 and 28 minutes, depending on how challenging your opponent is.

AB doesn't have as insane enter times as most people make them up to be, as long as you don't play at random weird times.
The challenge though lies in actually assembling a team if you can't be bothered with a bunch of random retards.

It doesn't have to be the Kurzick side. Luxons have long waits too.

I couldn't vouch for that, which is why I didn't say it.
From my experience there are say 50 kurzicks on their side, and if i check the luxon side there are 5-10 people.I figured that the 50 kurzicks have to wait for the same group of 5-10 luxons to finish the battle before being able to get into the battle.

But seeing that you say the luxons have it just as bad,it would not be a solution for the OP, which is why I said the kurzicks have bad waits, so he would join the luxons which I thought get into a battle faster.

I don't think its a problem of how much players are on each side, but more of how much battles can be held at once on the servers.

Most AB match last 10-15 mins but getting into a match can take a long time depending on when you play and what faction you play for. GvG lasts around 20+ depending on the difference between the two guilds.
