30min for a q to pop
I Finally get in to a arena match at 9:30 and it's only me in the map, so I figure I'll wait for someone to join, after 10min a klink finally joins and I kill him 3 times, then he goes to cloak and stays there and doesn't come out.
it's now 11:30 and his still sitting in stealth being a douche bag.
Long story short not wasting my time on pvp no more klinks are bad sports and the Q's are ***t
a quick fix for this would be to make the arena space battles be fed vs fed also so the q's would be better
How do you know he was still in there? There are no messages about someone people entering or leaving. That would be nice. So he stayed in there 30 minutes and watched so he wouldn't time out? My bet is left long ago and was in 10 other pvp matches while you flew around alone.
Long queue times are because not enough people are playing Klink and that something Cryptic needs to fix asap. No content and having our exp nerfed into the ground from pvp makes watching paint dry more fun.
I do not queue for Arena since a while, I have had two constant fun days of Capture and Hold matches however, the queue is never more than a few minutes.
Yesterday night went in with a group of three already teamed up from Capture and Hold (someone of the group grouped us to Arena), and fourth one joined few second laters, the fifth federation player being on the other side of the map.
We get jumped by the 5 people Klingon group, we lost 1 and managed to destroy the 5 Klingons., score now is 5 to 1 Federation.
After a while waiting we start wondering where the Klingons are, and the score goes 5 to 2, klingons were killing the Fifth lone federation who could not find us.
We set out to find him, and we did, just in time, kill 4 Klingons in the process, sore now 9 to 2.
And the wait starts, klingons refused to attack from that moment on, we could see them flying cloaked amongst us (because you can see cloaked on the mini map, not sure if this is intended, but could be a way to break these deadlocks).
After a while one Klingon started attacking score goes 10 to 2 11 to 2, the other Klingons refuse to uncloak, and ten it went on Zone chat.
Following some discussion a second Klingon decided to start attacking nevertheless anyways just to get it over ASAP.
I salute the first Klingon that kkept trying at least to Fight. I can understand the second one, but cannot understand the other three.
It is a Battleground, we queue in it to Fight and have fun Fighting through Combat in PvP mode, some times you win and some times you lose, you may always die, this is the nature of Combat.
if you do not want to die at all costs and only want to Win, the please do not queue and cause people to lose their time unnecessarily.
I will stick to Capture and Hold games and I suggest to the OP to do the same, at least there the Klingons Fight and Fight hard, and while I am sure there are groups and individuals in the Klingon side that are willing to fight win or lose and play Arena it is not often you get to be ,matched with them, and more matches result in the Feds sitting around chatting waiting for the Klingons.
Timers would not fix this Battleground as some Klingons will get numerical advantage and then sit out the rest of the match.
The Arena battleground could be removed from the FvK queue in my opinion, it could be made in to a FvF and KvK War Games, with some reduced rewards, Some XP, and BO points, and Merits (no PvP medals, no Cash), to help people test the Waters in PvP before going on against real Enemies.
EDIT: VM needs to be removed from the game all together.
I do understand where the OP is coming from. As a Klingon Ive sat and waited for 10 or 15 min. Waiting for more teamates. Sure I couldve decloaked and tryed fighting 5v1, but Id rather wait. I guess some would say it doesnt matter, you still get points for loosing. But its the principle of the thing, Id rather wait and win. Wich by the way my team did 15 to 4. So my waiting in this case worked out.
And im sure he knew the Klingon was still there because you can see us on the map.

It does not update. Anyone who ever enters the match is listed and never removed even if they leave.
And im sure he knew the Klingon was still there because you can see us on the map.
