Can we please have it auto-enter me into the PvP ground when the timer runs out? or even as an option? It takes me about an hour to get a PvP game, and in that time I am alt-tabbing my game a lot and doing other things to pass the time rather than staring at my screen, and frequently I will tab back into the game to find YOU FAILED TO RESPOND IN TIME ARFGH and I have to wait another hour for a PvP match.

Srsly :(

    and this would solve your issue how? not to sound rude, but lets say it did - then you would be upset if you were in a pvp encounter and either found dead, or getting ganked cause yur afk...
    not to mention if you are how that looks with aiding the wrong side...or being able to aid your side.

    they dont need to fix that, what they need to fix is how the notification stacks on top of another one and you click it thinking it was the first choice only to find out your in a seperate pvp arena then your other teamates....

    because when I have the game minimized I can see it through the taskbar at the bottom of my screen, and it's easy to see when it loads a new map (happens when you get pulled into deep space encounters) so then i'd know I joined a match and could play.

    alternatively have it play an audio sound which plays even if you have the game minimized.

    I have this bug where I don't see PVP queues pop up when in exploration zones, all I see is "you failed to respond". If it auto joined or even played a sound when the queue popped this would help fill up matches more evenly or more quickly.

    I suggest having as WoW have it, a popup with sound and in options you have ability to have sound in background, that way youll get notified when pvp window pops up with sound and if in another window can change back...

    They need an alarm sound to go off when a queue comes up. They also need to move the windows for the queues off of each other so if you have 2 or 3 come up around the same time you can actually see them.

    I am not in favor of a system that automatically puts you in. We will just have more afkers than we do now.

    I have found that if I queue up and then enter a war zone or Kahless then the pop ups don't work. If I set in sector space no problem. If I queue up in Kahless or Kerrat etc then the invites work. If you change areas I think the game gets losts....not always mind you but most of the time.

    Bumping because I'm still getting this CONSTANTLY, regardless of location, which makes me rage when I've been waiting for an hour in a queue, just to have the game not actually tell me when it was my turn to play.

    I've been playing with the PvP queues window open most of the time to try to catch it when it happens.

    Has this bug even been acknowledged by the devs?

    An optional alarm or something would be nice, but I just watch the queue when I join one; I always pick queues that look like they'll move quickly anyway.

    We definitely need an audio notification to let us know that our chance to enter PVP has come. As for auto-joining, that's a bad idea, it would just lead to more AFKers.

    I noticed a few times that when I was in the middle of an exploration mission and queued for PVP, then did the PVP, I would reappear in the exploration sector and would entirely lose the exploration mission I had been doing. Is that still a problem? I wouldn't mind being able to earn badges and medals at the same time.
