Wait times in battlegrounds XB1 EU

Argah · October 2017

Hi guys considering buying the morrowwind expansion and levelling up a warden whilst double xp was active, my main reason is for a new pvp mode but don't wanna get if it's more queuing than playing when solo, anyone able to let me know how long it usually takes to get into a battle?

It takes forever, at least on PS4. Spent 30 minutes the other night queuing for Battlegrounds only for someone to constantly decline even though they had queued specifically for it.

@Beardimus plays Xbox EU, he may have the answers you seek

I guess with so few replies the mode is not very active, I will pass on morrowwind.

Not sure about Xbox EU. On PC NA it’s very active. Getting matches after a 1-3 min queue.

Thanks @Lexxypwns - sorry for the delay @Argah only just saw the tag!

I play BG pretty regularly but off peak - so week day nights mainly, and generally you get in within a few minutes. Occasionally (as with Dungeon Finder) the queue just queues! So I often leave the queue and restart it. waiting longer than 5 minutes would be very rare.

Pop isn't vast, so often when you get in, odds are you will play with most of the same players the next few matches if you queue straight away - if you don't like em, waiting 5/10 minutes gets you out of their cycle if you are lucky.

I cant vouch for how it is in Peak times (fri / sat night) however i'd suggest queue time only gets better as more people available to group (unlike Cyro which is capped etc)

BG are great fun, personally really enjoy the fast action.
