Campaign Population Cap Adjustment

I think it's fine that the campaign population caps were reduced if it improves the overall experience. I also don't mind short queue times.

However, my suggestion/request is to implement a priority queue system in which players who are queuing for their home campaign are prioritized in the queue over those who are guesting. This could improve queue times and encourage more campaign loyalty.

What do you all think?

    i think the new cap sucks donkey balls.

    sorry, it used to be 5 -10 minutes, but past few nights i'm in the 100~120 queue and i could wait for AN HOUR at prime time.


    screw you, ZOS.

    Population per faction is off . If your waiting an hour to PvP it's because you have a huge faction population . PVP is out there , if you want it , just re roll a lower pop toon .

    I know this sucks if your separated from friends .

    I understand you want to play your favorite toon .

    I get your guild may not like you doing it .

    It's just the only answer for a bad situation unless you want to jump to a less populated server .

    In the end like most MMO's it's up to the players to find solutions for faction imbalance . I don't care if it's Blizzard , SOE , EA or ZOS . It's what it is in every game .

    With all due respect, I don't want just PvP. I want AvA. Where I fight against friends.

    If I just want any kind of PvP i'll boot up Battlefield 4 or Titanfall.

    And it has nothing to do with it's up to the players to figure out faction imbalance.

    Instead of lowering the cap, they could've tried other stuff.... like, i don't know, reverse that graphic patch few months back that causes major lag?

    Maybe it is a simple as reversing the graphics patch , I have no idea . I have zero programming experience . So I won't pretend I know if you're right or wrong . In the meantime , they lowed the cap . My suggestion was the only solution I knew of since they haven't announced any news on the current situation .

    Good luck with the que .

    I agree also when there is huge lag (stil happens yes) you have to rellog and sometimes you are kicked out of PvP so you have a choice: Not able to set up siege or to rellog but then you have a queue of 30+ minutes at night time....
