How to get Fast BG queue times
|
FYI There is yet another bug with the BG ques as you probably noticed. Sometimes you get in right away and sometimes you wait 45+ minutes. (horde)
Long story short:
Queue for a BG
Queue for a dungeon.
If queing for the dungeon finder doesn't give you an error message across your screen saying something like, 'you cannot queue for a dungeon while you are in a BG queue', you are bugged. If you get the actual dungeon queue and/or no error message you are bugged. Leave the BG queue and requeue. (Sometimes it won't let you leave the BG queue so you have to relog or type
/console reloadui or go through a portal) And requeue for the dungeon again of course to test.
Important note: Just because you que'd for the dungeon once and your BG queue checked out ok does not mean it will be ok in 30 seconds. So check it frequently.
Since I started doing the above my que's are all about 1-5 minutes. (horde)
You will be surprised how many times you get bugged out.

This bug has been around for like 2 months now, and it happens to me on alliance as well (although not that often).
Bliz's own poll shows that the vast majority of players prefer just general BG pvp... so it's really sad that they haven't managed to get this fixed.

Blizzard has admitted it has no idea what abilities are actually working and if there are ones that have been removed from previous expansions that are still active without anyone knowing, so does it really surprise you anymore?

Thanks, but it's been fun
Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since
...yesterday.

They ACTUALLY fixed the part where you can queue for a dungeon! lol But not the bug :P WTF
edit: Here are my random results from queing with 2 accounts. (Both at 85)
I queue person 1 . I queue person 2.
Both people have been in the queue for 20 minutes. (Longer than I usually wait but I was crafting)I decided to leave the queue and requeue person 1. I leave person 2 in the queue. Person 1 pops in 2 minutes. Person 2 is still in the queue. Person 2 pops at 37 minutes.
After many tests...
The morale of the story seems to be... if you don't queue within 5 minutes (or 7 as a group of 2) requeue! Don't wait it out.
At first I thought that person 2 must have been preselected for a 40 man or something and that is why the queue was so long... but nope! When his popped it was a 10 man. So I have no idea now what is wrong.

I was hoping this was going somewhere along the lines of the OP creating his own RL Fight Club in his mother's basement.
