Well I know when to que for PvP on my alts 6:30pm-9:30pm central time. I get 3-5min que times on my lowbies. I can que anytime and get pops on my 50 but sometimes the ques are a little longer on off times. The PvP combat mechanics in the game are just that fun for me. Yes I would rather have it be like at launch (insta que mania!) but honestly leveling goes so fast from level 1-20 the lowest PvP bracket should just get merged IMO. I forget what the low level brackets are but you can level up fast in this game. Its a great explaination why real low level PvP is pretty dead. No one is that low level for very long. End game PvP is where its at anyway. I know PvP in MMO's. I know a lot of players take breaks at the end of seasons. I do myself. I will also take breaks if something needs to be fixed. SWTOR had a lot of issues with bolster and I saw tons of PvPers quit, then come back when they fixed it. I'm willing to bet they will be back. I dont see how they can go back to any other combat system long term. They are all so slow and boring compared to Wildstar. Take it or leave it. Its up to you to take my word for it but I have played WoW for 7 years doing PvP only. Quit wow for SWTOR for 2 years with PvP only. Now I'm here in Wildstar doing PvP only. I've noticed these patterns over the years. PvP isnt dead you just gotta que at the right time for shorter que times. Definitely isnt like launch though but wait until Drop 3. I'd be shocked if it isnt popping a lot faster and during non-peak server times considering the changes being made.

This is a forum for fans of the game. If players have no interest in being constructive and prove they're interested in helping improve the game, then hell yes - lock the ever-loving hell out of those  threads.

You would keep paying him because you had faith in him. If you don't, then you wouldn't. Since a couple of weeks ago I have personally accepted my mindset of Wildstar still being in beta. And I have faith in it, so I will happily keep paying. I have faith, because this is without a doubt the best MMO I have ever played.

Dude dont let some elitist prick push you out of a game. Dont let them win. I'm hardcore but I'm far from an elitist jerk. Who ever told you the game is dead is not being honest. I'm pretty sure a lot of people are taking a break though and are still subbed. Just from Megaservers being announced I've seen a lot more people in Thayd today. You are welcome to come back at anytime. Dont let the jerks ruin this awesome game for you man. All I gotta say is look for different people to play with. Be out going. I often join and leave many guilds in MMO's. I have alts in several guilds that I will try out until I find that perfect guild of players that are hardcore and laid back. They exist but you have to look harder for them I've found in my 9+ year of MMO gaming. When you do find them its a lot of fun :D

Yea I've been playing from open beta to about a week or so ago. I've been playing longer than the vast majority has. But, there's just nothing left for me to do because they haven't released anything, so there's no reason to keep playing until they do. Don't be Ray Rice's gf/wife, who thinks "Oh I have faith he's not going to knock me the *cupcake*out anymore" lolol. Lol at paying to play a beta. That's just a foolish defense. And to the guy saying MMOs need 6 months to a year after launch in order to be beta tested, that is pure horseshit.

Actually, I have an alt that I'm leveling up in the 20s range who queues up for PvP when the mood strikes me--in my experience, the queue lengths have been highly variable but I've only had the "wait until I give up" thing happen like twice. It's much more typical that I wait between 10 and 20 minutes. Unfortunately, what happens once I get there is usually pretty ugly, but that's a different issue altogether.

I believe you are accurately describing your experience, not to worry, I'm just puzzled as to why it's happening to you. Are you signing up for the practice BGs, not restricted to your Realm, either random or Walatiki? That's how I do things. If I were signed up for a specific battlefield that wasn't Walatiki, it probably would never pop. I've only been in the halls of the bloodsworn once in the entire time I've been playing, and I've seen other people here complaining that they'd like to try it and it never happens because apparently the conventional PvPer wisdom is that it's not worth the time compared to Walatiki. If those ARE the settings when you sign up for, then it sounds like either the game isn't keeping you in the queue--or I suppose it's possible that the matchmaker is deciding that you're not matched to the battles that do pop up for some reason. Got typical progression gear slotted for that level? A build that isn't trying to do something really funky for the class you're playing? I'm not trying to criticize or anything, I'm just trying to think of possible reasons why you wouldn't be getting in to battles that other people can get into.

Yeh, at 50 and being oceanic. If i dont do practise, random battleground. I dont get a pop. Still havnt seen dagger stone pass. grrr.

I maintain it would have helped the situation... players would be working together more closely to complete objectives, and form more lasting and real friendships in the game - something that the genre has been missing and the aut-matching group finder really wrecks.

Players suggesting things like multiple raid difficulties are suggesting the wrong kinds of things... you can't wish for the game to be a different game, but rather within the scope of the design goals and features, what could be improved? That's how to give constructive criticism, as opposed to requesting massive changes to the core design.

I don't think that was what he was implying. He was trying to help you. IMO, it's responses like that from anyone (those that quit, those thinking of quitting, those staying, those "white knights", etc.) that can bring in more negativity and counter productive post.

^This for quote prior. I agree, because once I transferred to Pergo from Warbringer, that's exactly what happened for me as well. (fyi, I transferred as soon as free transfers were made available)

you keep sayings its "all made up lie and bar word of mouth" people from beta were warning of the folly of marketing a game to 2% of user base, people were reporting bugs going ignored and those people were told to quit and leave now some of that is out of carbines hands and in NCsofts but come on people have been crying begging and pleading since long before release for the HEALTH of the game only to be met with open hostility, its not made up lies, its peoples experience
