If you enjoy battle pets, how is your pvp queue working for you?

Love this part of WOW, yet I wonder if the pvp battle queue is limiting options for playing with as many others as might be possible. I keep hearing it is impossible to change your battle queue & even opened an entirely new account (now closed) to see if I got a new queue - nope :slightly_frowning_face:

How do others who enjoy battle pets experience their pvp gueue?

The PvP pet battle queue takes at least 10 minutes if you get a match at all. It used to be lower but I think I’m in a higher bracket or something now? Not a lot of people queueing.

5-20 minute queue, I eat the other person, queue back up, they counterpick me, queue back up, I counterpick them, and back and forth until one of us questions why we’re doing pet battle pvp and quits.

Also delete the 5k pvp pet battle win achievement, pls

They need to open up an API for making things like bracket competitions with different rule sets like staging your team one pet at a time, Max number of pets in your deck, etc, and let modders figure something out with it.

I didn’t even know there were brackets.

There isn’t.

( Clarified my post some )

Oh Rita’s post here made me think there was.

My queues are 10-15 minutes.

Oh that’s just matching max pet levels I think.

There’s no rhyme or reason to it I can determine. I’ve tried switching characters, switching accounts, trying to shard jump. Still there’s no posted rules for the way it functions.

To be honest I don’t think any one at blizz knows how it works.

I have the ā€˜Trainer’ title and proudly wear the pet paw tabard, this character leveled from 45 to 58 solely on pet pvp battle xp so I think I have the experience to offer an educated opinion, but there’s no way to educate yourself when the entire experience has no real rules.

I’ve heard claims of a ā€˜hidden’ mmr type system used to match make but I seriously doubt that. When you win too many in a row I do know the game ā€˜times you out’. What sort of game punishes you for being good and winning?

All I’ve ever insisted was that blizz post the rules, but like so much of wow there are no posted rules, I think so they can change things on a whim and hope no one notices. Could be a lot of fun if blizzard knew what they were doing.

I mean even pets are no longer an ā€˜evergreen’ system, instead of creating more content they reset the currencies and now they have to add an entire new crafting system to invalidate any work you have done previous to new pets.

There’s some sort of matchmaking. Win too much and you don’t get paired with newbies.

I actually respect players like this because I cannot level battle pets for life of me or unlife

Exactly!

So agree! I have combed forums & the web trying to find information about how to change battle gueues & all I find is ā€œbest guessesā€. I was told by Blizzard staff there is no way to change battle queues.

What I dream of is a lively queue with many players, instead of many gueues with only a few players. I lack the technical background to understand why this is not possible :unamused:

I think they are trying to prevent win trading via the pet pvp lfg. Like I said it was slow but I got to level 58 on this character without ever touching legion, bfa, or SL. The only reason I went to 60 was to use this character for a mission table farm.
