One-Hour Matchmaking Delays

How is it possible that it takes an hour to find a match? Please, take action and fix this issue. Thank you.

Because most of the players that collect and battle have already achieved what they want

Once you get past the 1000 pvp battle achievement, there really isn’t a reason to keep going. Especially since most players throw up teams that are hard to beat unless you have the perfect counter.

I have no desire to sit in a queue for 5 minutes only to be mauled by a Meta team

Is it time for another round of “Why is PvP so bad, and how could the devs fix it?” or is everyone still tired of the subject? :stuck_out_tongue:

at this point, they should just add AI pvp pet battles

I’ll drink to that! (hic!) :wine_glass:

In fact, my #1 ask for pet battles is a randomised daily quest to beat an AI. If we can do that through the queue, well, that might be just as good.

If you’re in the queue for … 2 minutes? 3? … get matched against an AI. Bring it on.

Ironically, it would probably help the queues, since more people would have a shot if they knew they were actually going to get a battle before they retire.:stuck_out_tongue:

That’s far too short of a time. It would need to be at a 10 minute wait. Then you’re randomly paired with one of the various pet battle NPCs. You could get an easy team, or you could get a difficult team that you need specific pet abilities to beat…

This is just my perspective, but the reason I don’t like waiting in queues is because I don’t do much of anything except stuff that relates to pet battling.

So, while I’m waiting for a pet battle, I’m pretty much stuck doing nothing, because once I queue, my pets are locked in, so no questing or non-PvP battles.

It would be nice if there was a mechanic in place that would lock in my PvP team, that will still allow me to go questing in WQ pet battles, then, once I accept a PvP challenge, my PvP team automatically gets swapped in, and I’m ready to go.

This way, I don’t have to stand around doing nothing while waiting for a queue. Yes, there are other things I could be doing, but who does them? The only stuff I do in the way of other things is ultimately to benefit my pet battling in some way.

Like, I was mining ores in BfA, getting the quests to upgrade my mining and engineering skill. But that was only to build my Mechantula pet. Now that I have three of them, who needs to mine more?
