    Sometimes its instant, other times its completely impossible to get in. And the queue dies pretty early on in the night. After 1-2 AM its totally impossible to find even 1 game.

    I still haven't gotten into a scenario just because it hardly ever pops up. I had the pop-up ONCE, but I was in the middle of a public quest so I had to decline. I should have gone order. :(

    On both Order and Destruction, queues took me about 5-10 mins.

    I think, especially if you're at a higher level than more people, it's just a matter of time before the problem relieves itself. People past rank 20 are a vast minority still.

    When i first bought and played the game, the scenario queue was quick.
    I would get into a game within the first minute, but now I'm getting one every 10 or so..

    Well i know what you mean. At night (1am - 6am PST) it takes like 30 minutes to an hour to get in one.
    But during the morning / afternoon its quick and easy

    it seems like you guys should have taken population balance into consideration before rolling on a server.  I get instant ques all day until about 5am, then it takes about 3 min or so.

    A new patch came out today that allows you queue for all of the available scenarios at once, so you should be able to get into one faster now.

    In the past 2-3 days, I have rarely NOT gotten into a match, so they definitely seem to be making some improvements.

    However...I'm not sure how I feel about that Combustion move or whatever it is that Bright Wizards have.  I'm just generally not a big fan of one person nuking my entire screen with spell animation...

    ...oh, and the fact that he single-handedly wipes out my entire team with it by spamming it over and over.  *ANGER*

    I haven't really had any issues with the queues for the scenarios, unless I try on times when there's usually a low population. I've had a considerably harder time with the PQ, but I think that's in large part because I solo 95% of the time. Maybe I should try joining some parties sometime and see how that goes.

    Over the last couple of days the wait times have drasticly become worse for me. From waiting 10-20 minutes before to not getting in at all for entire hour long sessions of play now. And Im Order on Alarielle. So I think we can stop saying that Order or Destruction / server X or server Y is worse. Being able to queue for all the instances for your Tier dosent help either, havent had any of the other ones pop up even once.
    This is sad. This together with the serious framerate stuttering has made WAR more of a "wait for now, play next year" kind of thing.

    wow my server must be the best thing ever, no matter what time I'm on I can find an RvR scenario match in seconds at times when its really late or really early in the morning it might take a few minutes but I always get in, also during peek times the whole world comes alive pretty well, greatest MMORPG I have played in a while when that happens otherwise its just great to have fun in there.

    Okay, given that:

    A.  they updated so you can queue into any RvR from anywhere in the world
    and
    B.  you can queue for ALL the RvRs at once

    ...my question is:  how the hell are you not getting into RvR matches?!?!?!

    exacly my point. Im queuing for Tier 3 by the way, Tier 1 and 2 seems much faster. And even tho you can queue for all scenarious in your Tier its only Talabec Dam that ever pops up, if anything.

    We usually have TA pop on our server more than everything else, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the excessive amount of Ironbreakers and Swordmasters wanting in on some knockback-to-lava action.  Pisses me off.

    With Tier 3, yeah, it can take a while sometimes, but it's also barely after launch, and not everyone excel at MMOs as well as we do (read: have no life like us).

    I've been queuing for all of the tier 2 ones the last couple days and only really get one or two. I don't believe I've played Stonetroll Crossing a single time. So yeah, it may be that people just aren't queuing for the one you're queuing for.

    And I will say that the poor Order is in bad shape on my server. Far, far too many Witch Hunters, which are simply not that great without a healer to back them up. Too many damage classes and not enough healing on Order on my server. Meanwhile at least half the people on every Destruction team are healers.

    Also, for PQs, definitely seek for an open party while you're doing it. Often people will show up if they see you have an open party. Also, you would do yourself a favor by checking periodically for people doing a PQ in a group at your chapter and joining them for the Inf if not for the rewards.

    Joining a guild greatly increases your ability to get PQs done...so I've found.
    See, the Order on our server are the EXACT OPPOSITE!  It's nothing but tanks, healers, and bright wizards.  Destro is all Greenskins and Witch Elves.  It's so lame.

    One other thing you can do, as this happened to my friend:  apparently, when Warhammer just came out, they hadn't posted in the server info page at the start some of the servers that were Oceanic.  He ended up finding out he was on an Oceanic one and wouldn't get shit done, so he had to start over.  Totally sucked.  So make sure you aren't on a Oceanic server.

    Yes, my Zealot is in a nice guild now and they PQ and RVR quite a bit, which adds a lot of fun.

    And it's funny you mention that about your server. On my Order alt's server, all I saw in the tier 1 scenarios were Witch Elves and Sorceresses. Meanwhile Order was all Shadow Warriors, Swordmasters and Archmages (who unfortunately never seemed to heal). That was an absolute nightmare at tier 1. But then again, the game had just come out, so maybe it's better there now. I don't think I'll be playing on a RVR server (which it is) though, at this point. I never thought I'd see more griefers than I did in WoW on a PVP server, but there are a TON!
