Blizzard: Don’t you guys have tones?
To be fair, if you simply queue for all 3 BG’s at the same time, you’ll never get idle time.
When your inside a Battleground, your other queue timers are still counting, and usually pop immediately upon finishing the current one.
When I solo queue as Horde, I never wait more than 2-3 minutes per BG (except for the very first BG pop of the day).
You just gotta get yourself in a nice format.
Is that true? That’s good to know if it is! I’ve heard varying opinions on it though. Cheers, Dusty.
Isn’t this how it is on retail anyway? Or will every game just be 100% Us server?
Yeah works well, but your very first BG pop will take about 20-30 minutes though. Once your in your first game, the other queues are backed up and ready to go - works best solo

dude your lying right now queue 3 bgs and you still wait 10-20 minutes inbetween each one maybe you would get lucky before they patched in the oceanic players
I know this is the intent, but high latency is a worse trade than harder to get matches.
Also I understand the intent, but the best players regardless of the pool size will be able to achieve titles; titles so long long as you use the TBC, Wrath, Cata, MoP or WoD system of points will provide good quality game play for all.
PLEASE do not use the present retail system.
Except that this is meaningless because if they are their own battlegroup then the points pool will be distributed across the competing players by the rating value they have. This assumes you use more traditional Arena systems of the past and not the terrible system in retail that has arbitrarily cutoffs.
It’s for these reasons that arbitrary cutoffs for rewards are not a good system.

Sub cancelled. Absolutely uncalled for change. 280ms on a rogue is straight up unplayable.

Nah not like this mate. We don’t want the nostalgic experience of 250 ping in arena. We have more than enough players in oceanic for a healthy arena scene. Find a better solution for this hypothetical title drama.

You’re not from Oceania obviously, because this is how I’ve always managed to do BG’s through-out the last 6 phases, the first game always takes the longest - the rest are always stacked up.
Try queue solo for a change, this helps a lot.
Either way, if your supporting 150-200ms for Arena then yikes.
Edit: Checked post history, 100% not from Oceania so your argument is invalid

Here comes those retail changes. Couldn’t let oceanic players enjoy having low ping playing against each other, gotta make us fill out the US battlegroup.
Also with no announcement of intention prior to TBC pre-patch or release, gotta keep those boost and deluxe sales running.
Not that it really matters that much tbh, wow pvp has always been garbage tier.

I’m an Aussie that plays intentionally on fairlina with 200ping. It’s not even noticeable and doesn’t affect gameplay whatsoever. Just a bunch of whiners.

If you think 200 ping isn’t noticeable I can only assume you’ve never experienced low ping.

Dont get why youre forcing this narrative so hard. For Literally all of last year AB queue was 1.5 hours WSG was 45m and AV just didnt excist outside of the weekend. Things have only JUST changed which more people looking for marks now, but that still leaves queues at 30+ minutes each.

PvP comes down to milliseconds. If you don’t think 200 ping matters you either don’t PvP or you’ve never won at PvP.

it’s unplayable for melee with 250ms. Change it back before you lose more sub from Oceanic players

Your comment is irrelevant.
You’re just use to playing at that ping so it doesn’t feel noticeable to you, but 150-200 ping at the end of the day is still quite a lot of delay.
If you have the option between 10-50 ping, or 150-200 ping, obviously you’d pick the faster ping response.
I’m genuinely mind boggled at how you can use high ping as an argument of being okay because you don’t have an issue with it LOL. It’s still lag… Unnecessary lag.

NA population does not want this I guarantee you.
We don’t care about your super unbalanced faction population. I cant tell you how many games in sc2 I wanted to leave cause as a USE player got matched to an Aussie or Brazil player on their server.
