Question about StrongHold "q" system

azuosed89

Hi Everyone, I am a xbox player, but I read the forum and etc to know some information. We are getting stronghold soon, so I would like to know how this works regarding playing it.
Is the stronghold a "Q" system? you can only Q with 20 players form your guild?
if it is a Q instance, can be there multiple guild instances, so for example, 20 players from the guild play in one, and 20 players from the guild play in a second instance, things like that.

This question is very important to me regarding politics with other guilds, merges, this sort of things.
I would appreciate if someone reply me.

Thank you!

No it is Open Q and the guild with the most players serves as the Base.​​

so you could q up with more than 20 players and it would be possible to everyone play?

The max group size is five.

You can solo queue, or you can queue with up to 5 players in a party.

If a guild has 20 people online, they can queue 4 of these 5man parties at the same time.

It's called a "q" because 'queue' is pronounced 'q.'

If you have 25 guildies queueing at the same time, in my experience, it will not let you play vs your own guildmates. (only 20 people will get the pop. It won't let your 'stronghold' vs your 'stronghold', I don't think. )

Alternately..

If you are in a party with 1 member from Guild A, and 4 members from Guild B and queued
and there is another party with 2 members from Guild A.. they CAN be matched against each other.

As for 20 in one instance, and 20 in another, I think that will work.

The first 20 will take the first pop, and then the second set of 20 can queue, and accept the pop.

thank you. that explains a lot.
But just to confirm, if I understood right. if let's say, 40 people from my guild queue at same time. There may be then two instances running the game against other 20 people from different guilds?
like, 8 groups of my guild queue. Q pops, 20 will play in this match against some other 20 players from different guild. But would the Queue be able to pop for the remaining 20 players from my guild so they can be playing ANOTHER game in ANOTHER instance against a different guild/players for example?

Brace youself, because if it's the same as it was on PC, the pvp stronghold queue won't be enabled at the start of the launch.

I don't know if some guilds have already tagged at 40 or more, so i can't answer to this, but i think everything is possible ( like gauntlgrym)

I believe this is the case, yes.
20 from Guild A vs whomever in instance #1
20 from Guild A vs whomever in instance #4

ok nice, also can you SOLO Q for stronghold? or you always need a group?
