CQ queue bug!

[Katosu]

We are looking into what is up with this.

Really Daglar this bug is making it so CQ isn't nearly as lopsided as itused to be.

We had dom actually win a match before.

Pretty please try to put random queues in?

Greetings!

The Conquest queue bug some of you have experienced has been tracked down internally. As some of you may suspect, it's due to some upcoming changes for the Conquest queue, currently planned for the next hotfix.

When joining conquest, you now will only be able to specify which team you prefer. If you don't care, there's a random button available to make the choice for you. If a team is full, the button for that team will say "Full" instead of "Join". You can still attempt to join a "Full" team. After a few seconds, you'll see the "Would you like to enter conquest?" prompt. If the team you were attempting to join is full at that time, you will be shifted onto another, non-full team. In this case, the prompt will contain additional text explaining that the team you requested was full, and notifying you as to what team you will be playing on.

Here's a screenshot of the changed window:



We hope this change will make Conquest a better experience for everyone, and we'll be watching to see how things change.

snip.

Appreciate the plans for changing Conquest Pithos, but this would not really fix the problem.
You would have many people queueing up for Nightfall first, then having Oath as a secondary.

Leaving Random as a mere option will cause it to be ignored and won't solve the problems that exist currently.

I do suggest that you go with a purely random queue instead.

Anyone get a random CQ invite? I pulled up the CQ/WF entry page, looked at the CQ tab, saw there was time left for a WF, so I did, almost at the end of the WF a CQ invite came. I didn't pick a side, but it put me on Oath. I am glad I saw Pithos entry, I thought I was doing **** and not even aware of it...

Yeah, should have been random all the way around because now there will be two Dominion entry buttons, one labeled Dominion, the other labeled Random. But maybe after enough time, the whole thing will homogenize out as the raids fill.

Have to agree here, forced random is NEEDED TO BALANCE ALL 3 TEAM NUMBERS, if you can't get into "The Nightfall Zerg" in the EU doesn't matter what u pick you will lose 90% of the time Oath being 10% win ratio.

Also since theres no marks till 5 minutes at the end really people don't care about playing the game how its supposed to be played they want their 4800 marks ASAP, should have marks early in the game middle of game and late in the game to encourage people to play.

Reread it, it looks like it says that if your team is full, it autoplaces you. Or am I reading it wrong?

[Pithos]

To clarify: If Nightfall is "Full" and you click it, you'll be assigned to another, random, non-full team within about 5 seconds.

This is effectively a random queue, only you have the ability to specify the team you would prefer to be on if there is room.

Thanks for the clarification. So, is full based on full faction or full for the moment? Full for the moment I hope.

Any confirmation on increased aggressive AFK kick in CQ? Seems like AFK kick is working faster now and I like it.

Can I kiss you please and thank you. Great idea.

Happening during Ashora Instant Adventures so far. Hasnt happened in the lower level IA's yet.

While you guys are on a roll with warfronts (auto-assist) and Conquest (random queue), how about adding a column for "Points Scored" to the Scion leaderboard.

Those of us running stones, killing elites, killing idols, etc. for match points are sometimes getting flagged AFK for not standing on the bridge and putting dps & healing stats on the current leaderboard. Right now killing elites and idols show 0 damage done, while they anonymously put 10 pts & 100 pts each respectively on the scoreboard.

May as well just make it distribute them randomly and evenly then!

this doesn't make sense to me, because what are the chances a spot will open up in 5 seconds on the team you want? and the chance that if a spot does open up someone else won't be in queue before you?

it should be like 1 minute at least to give some kind of chance to get into the team you want, then random.

also how does group queue work with this? like a full raid queue
