Remote queueing

I don’t have time to just sit and monitor a 20-30 q. Allow us to join a shuffle q remotely from our phones through an app or something. I’m on the verge of quitting.

This is a great idea like it will send you an accurate your next ping

Would you be in favor of more consistent queue times, but longer queues? The randomness of RSS queues are the issue.

Man, I just want to play and not miss every q because I left my chair

For sure. I just hate when about 80-90% of the queues that pop in the first 1-2 minutes never actually turn into a match. Than you sit in queue for another 20-30 minutes for the ‘real’ queue. If you could queue up and you knew you had 25 minutes, at least you could work around it some. Just a thought.

There are (legal) programs that will text you when a q pops. Might be something you should look into. I agree though having it be something natively supported would be much better.

There’s no way to do this though since the pop is based on a healer qing. If you get to your 25 minute mark and there aren’t any healers pushing q at that moment, what could they do?

It wouldn’t be exact, but a rough guess. It would mean increased queue times for everyone, including healers. Though healers would likely be more in the 2-3 minutes range. Not saying I want it, just saying there are potential options with trade offs.

what you’re describing makes no sense and couldn’t work

Nothing to complicated about it. Would just be a way to have more consistent times, but you would get longer queue times. Regardless, not saying I want it.

awesome idea actually, however, imagine more forum posts about people complaining they never got a ping. :tongue:

??

how are you consistently determining that healers are going to queue in your guaranteed window

Also @ Activision or whoever owns blizzard…
Your business model seems to favor fragmenting our game to squeeze out as much short term profit as possible. Heres an idea for you, make a separate arena only game. World of Warcraft has the most unique pvp mechanics that I think we can all agree we love. You got some kind of hub(preferably a dungeon of some sort) where you can run around socialize and q arena…that’s it. Imagine how easy it would be to balance. I’d buy the shxt out of that game. Pay the subwhatever. Anyways I love this game hope it gets fixed.

Nothing wrong with letting it go on the computer chair.

I don’t know if that would be better.

We’d have a bunch of games where someone joined remotely and then didn’t manage to get back to their computer in time for whatever reason. They’ll randomly start playing in the later rounds or they’ll AFK the entire game.

Lol yeah. Healer enters, realizes he’s an auto 0-1 to start cuz his teammate hasn’t moved since the timer started. Gates open and he leaves to preserve mmr. Whole remote entering thing causes more harm than good by simply contributing to the leaver issue.

Remote ENTERING is a bad idea. Remote qing/notification of queue pop is a good idea. But if you can’t get to your computer to accept the queue then you cannot accept it.
