Return of Reckoning

I don't know what the hell is going on lately but me and my guildies have been trying to que in group for SC's and they just simply are not popping, unless we all go solo & try to time queing together and somehow get the same SC - And yet still we often do not.

I'm aware that the bad numbers of people to have in a party is 3 or 5 as this makes it hard for the que system to match up the group into scenarios with other PUG's, but this problem has been present for years already in ROR and is nothing new - Yet still there now seems to be problems even beyond this and it is somehow making it even more difficult for us to be able to enjoy the game together...

It seemed to start happening roughly 3 or 4 weeks ago, I remember the server having problems with something scenario related and ever since then ques have been acting really weirdly, does anyone else at all have any input on this?

Really really frustrating for me as a guild leader because I try to setup organized groups to play with then when were finally all together we end up waiting for far too long even with player population being 900+

The only conclusion I can come to as of now to this increased que time is the fact that there isn't enough scenarios allowed at a time (the current value is set to 3, isn't it?)

What time are you usually entering the queue?

Our guild does 6-man queues each week for the guild coin, and we usually get pops within 3-5 minutes during NA evenings.

cos population getting lower and lower esp. nonK prime time like 200ish ppl online.

We were trying like 22:00 CEST last night when there were like 900 players online, 4 member group in que for like half an hour with no pop

I even saw this in advice too

4,5 is not ideal party size to queue with and the amount of scs available to queue are not limited to 3 like ever. I suggest picking up some couple of players from /5 to fill out your group. With 6 you should get more pops

We've had 6 multiple times these last 2 weeks aswell and even then it's been really bad.

i think there's some kind of bug with sc queue where if you don't get queued quickly, matchmaking system kinda "forgets" you. i've especially noticed this can happen if you change zones while queueing, but it doesn't necessarily trigger it i don't play a lot of scenarios, but when i do, if i didn't get queued in over 5 minutes, i just leave all queues and rejoin them. this is my solo-queueing experience, haven't had trouble with a little of premades that i did.

Ah gotcha, this is for T2/3 Scenarios?

In general, these sometimes pop at a slightly slower rate than the 40's. Recommend trying to fill to a full 6 and maybe see if that gets the queue to pop faster?

You an old time player or somewhat new?

(For reference anything over 4 years I basicly consider a Veteran)

i started ROR in january this year, played live long time ago.

P.S. been playing some mid-tier scenarios today on alt, was getting pops within 1-2minutes. solo-queue. there was like ~300 people online on server. so when there's 900 people online and you don't get pop, that's gotta be some kind of bug.
