Thought I'd start looking into the pvp. :(

Been almost an hour now, and I've gone down to 411. Is this normal?

It's because of the event. Pick one of the other newer campaigns.

You can queue into a newer less crowded campaign, and still keep your queue going for Vivic. So you can PvP while you wait to PvP.

Thank you. Which event is this?

Runs

Midyear Mayhem.

There is an item in the crown store featured section that costs 0 crowns, buy it then use it to start the quest. Afterwords there will be a legendary item in your inventory to click on for double ap. It's a real good time to build up Assault/Support levels.

You picked an interesting time to try PvP.

Yep, there is an event on which is pulling an awful lot of people who either don't PvP at all, or only sometimes PvP into cyrodiil this week.

There are pros and cons to this for the new pvper.

The pro's are that there will be a lot if people pvping who aren't particularly practice's at it, so the quality of your opposition will be lower giving you an easier time. There are also more pug groups running than normal, so its easier to find groups, and a few helpful pvpers have posted some general PvP guides in the forums to help the new pvper get started.

The cons are the server queues, crashes and the hardcore small PvP groups using the event to icrease their AP gain which unfortunately means farming new pvpers. I've seen a LOT of these outside of primetime.
