This is one of the most destructive things you could do for server communities. I urge you to reconsider this, or find another solution to whatever perceived issue has lead to this desire.

Bioware, nobody wants cross-server queueing. It kills server communities as far as PvP and solo/guild reputations. Please reconsider seeing as this is what killed the fun for Battlegrounds in WoW and turned them into more of a grind than 'fun'.

I think Bioware can do better than this.

I hope you're not serious about this. How can PvP be fun or fair when you have level 50s versus much lower levels?

There's a reason that all good, competitive PvP games have brackets both according to level and to premade vs. solo queue.


This guy is:

A) Overreacting. There's already a lot of 50s by now, and there'll be even more by the time 1.1 rolls out (if the canceling of last night's patch is indication, it won't be for a week or two more).

B) Quite possibly just wants to be able to steamroll teams to get easy wins.

Cross-server queues are understandably very, very bad for PvE... but I fail to see how cross-server queues are bad for PvP. Please explain your reasoning.

I wasn't talking about PvE communities. In fact, I'd say cross-server queues for PvE are exponentially less detrimental than they are for PvP communities. The reasoning is plainly obvious.

This just in: When you race to the level cap before the rest of the playerbase, there isn't anyone there.

News at eleven.

/sarcasm Apparently this is news to some people.

I absolutely approve telling the OP to reroll if he wants to PvP right now. It's a simple solution to a complex problem that is guaranteed to work. On top of which, when the average player finally has a toon at the level cap the OP can go back to his capped main.

And at that point, he'll probably have two or three capped toons.

A possible alternative to cross-server queues would be scaling rewards based on how much longer than a minute or two you wait in queue. Add a multiplier based on wait time, so that rewards/time remain roughly equal. If your average warzone lasts 10 minutes, and the average queue is under a minute, you can do at least 5 in an hour. If the queue extends to 10 minutes, you'd only be doing 3 in an hour. Increasing rewards by 70% with a 10 minute queue would mean equal rewards/hour. Once the queue hits 30 minutes, you'd be talking about 1.5/hour, so multiplying rewards by just about 4 fold would lead to equal/rewards per hour.

TBH, I think you'd have to use a more aggressive multiplier than that, given PvP is a lot more fun than sitting around twiddling your thumbs, so just equal rewards/hour doesn't really make up for it IMHO.

However, you're right in that the number of level 50 players is going to be small and won't increase dramatically in a short period of time.

Cross-server queuing for PvP is something that the development team wants to happen, but it's not going to be available in the near future. In the interim, you might want to try re-rolling a new character, either on your own server or another server (perhaps a PvP server?). On your own server, you'll be able to PvP all the way from L10 to L49 without any issue, and by the time you get close to the cap you can see how the L50 Warzone 'scene' is. On another server - especially a PvP server - you may find a more PvP-centric community.
Please don't create Cross server PVP queues. I like that i can find and PVP with people on MY server. You will ruin the sense of notoriety on the server if you make it cross server.

I dont know about you, but i wanna step into a warzone and have people see my name and think, ****, that guy's really good.

You don't get this on cross server queues as they are too large.
