Curse

My guess would be that the line shifted while you were queued, and the area you are in ran out of Luxons. Try changing districts or going to your guild hall, then back again.

Why not just get a guest invite to a Luxon guild and fight for the Luxons? The Luxons win almost every battle anyway

If the line shifts, dont you change towns automatically? Anyway there is another similar thread, so i dont mind a merge from a mod.

well, i just get err7 all the time in AB's

which i guess is worse... esp when you see 4 kursciks charge at your team mate and you are the sole monk

JOIN THE LUXONS!

yeh, well i wouldn't normally find anything wrong with doing somthing like that, if well, i wasn't halfway to getting the first kurzick faction title, so yeh, good viable option for some people, not for others,

It was very odd. There were lots of people waiting to get in, but I would sit there for 30 minutes and not see a single team in the district I was on get cycled in. Change districts, same thing, no one in that district getting cycled in. It seems there were lots of players but not many servers were being used by alliance battles, which resulted in lots of people waiting an hour or so for a 10 minute match. It really was quite frustrating.

It is odd how the queue works, if you can call it that. I've gotten in battles in the first try this weekend, as well having to wait over 30 minutes before finally battling. It's as if you get queued up on a specific server, which is unfair to people who have been waiting 20 minutes only to see some group who just started the timer to get in before them.

I talked to someone on the Luxon side, and they said their wait isn't as bad as the Kurzick side.

It may have been double faction weekend, but it wasn't double the faction gain.

I'll echo the sentiments of the OP, this event has been frustrating.

Bane of Worlds · Sep 17, 2006, 02:21 PM // 14:21

well I like the Kurzicks but the faction gain isn't good for kurzick ABers since there are long wait times since there are more Kurzicks that enjoy AB than Luxons except for the faction run for their particular area which is why one must get a guest invite or just join a Luxon guild & alliance till both sides are evened out.

Sereng Amaranth · Sep 17, 2006, 02:24 PM // 14:24

I am usually always in the Alliance Battles. This weekend, not so much. I was thinking that one couldn't make as much money through amber sales because the price would drop. Then I thought, 'we will be earning 2x faction'. Wrong.

Alleji · Sep 17, 2006, 03:00 PM // 15:00

I played about 10 rounds yesterday, got a total of 1 nop. Luxon ftw.

The issue isn't the server space, it's because we have three kurzicks for every luxon playing.

Yes, that's the way it normally works. Last night there was problem where this didn't happen & everyone was standing around waiting for a battle (5 districts of kurzicks!) for 10-15 minutes. Once people started changing districts manually, they got moved over to the new territory.

4 posts down. Posted yesterday. Exact same rant.

Kakumei · Sep 17, 2006, 04:07 PM // 16:07

I never had to see that message playing on Luxon side yesterday, and I did several battles spaced throughout the day. I can only assume that the Kurzick-Luxon imbalance is really that great.

Raziel665 · Sep 17, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Amount of Faction x 2
Time spent Waiting x 3

Aphraelyn · Sep 17, 2006, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Instead of saying how there isn't enough server capacity....maybe there isn't enough luxon players for you to even have a game? You DO need luxon players for an AB match you know =P And everyone is on the kurzick side because amber is worth more =/

I've been hopping on both kurzick and luxon sides depending on where my friends want to play and usually, I see alot less people on the luxon sides and so well....maybe some of you should just go to the luxon side and see how it goes =P

On average its been about 1-2 waits for me on kurzick and 1 at the most on luxon =/

samifly · Sep 17, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

Not enough players in a faction = poor game design IMO.

I don't see how you could blame game design for this. Players are given free choice of which faction they want to join. So blame yourself (the players), not game design.

Hadoken13 · Sep 18, 2006, 01:18 AM // 01:18

i played on the luxon side multiple times everyday of this event and i never had any waiting problems.

you kurzics are just too numerous

Kool Pajamas · Sep 18, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

If you dont like the wait then join the luxon side. Seriously. Its not like it really matters. I play on luxon side and almost never have more than one "No opposing party" message. Get over the "luxons are teh suxxors1!!11one" crap. Its all the same.

bam23 · Sep 18, 2006, 02:31 AM // 02:31

You can use kurzick faction to get Amber, which is worth more :P

But if you have to wait 3X or more longer than luxon its not worth it.....

Time = money.
