I am hating these new area control flags, they make the dailies take forever. It takes 45 minutes to do one dang match. What the heck? I realize Cryptic thought they needed to be longer, some were lasting 5 minutes, but this is ridiculous.

p.s. - I'm also no longer having fun in these mish, and they don't even seem to be counting towards my dailies.
/sigh

Now, it might as well be arena style, but with super long timers. Sure, you can go cap the node at the opposite side of the map, but by the time the node decides to turn, the group would be done with their duties and back to defend.
This.
The cap&hold is now only a cap. You don't have to hold any node anymore, because at the time the node starts switching the 2nd respawn wave will have recognized it and take out the poor guy trying to score some points for his team. Or the big ball busy with killing 3 others has finished its job, buffed up, drank some tea and now engages you.
That means there are two main issues in play:
1. It takes too long to fully capture a node, particularly solo. That means that most players won't do it; they'd rather spend their PvP time actually fighting other players, and so it's more interesting to fly off to join the scrum than to sit at a node for (literally) a minute or more at a time waiting for it to turn. The best way to win the map is to never fight the enemy team and just fly around in groups of 2-3 capturing unprotected nodes. Any PvP map that promotes not PvPing as the best way to win is fundamentally flawed.
2. It is far too easy to uncapture a node, even solo. The problem is really that uncapturing an enemy's node is not the same as capturing it for your own team. Once a node is captured, uncapturing it should mean capturing it for your team, not simply flying by so that it's not claimed by anyone. Think closer to the Arathi Basin model than the Eye of the Storm model, for the WoW players out there.
I have a BG5 and an RA5 (see below ====>). I do not care about leveling. What I care about is I have at most about 2 hrs to play each day. I am trying to do dailies on both an RA5 and a BG5. The PvE dailies take 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Thats 30-60 minutes for me to do my PvE dailies.
The PvP dailies used to be 3, 10ish minute matches. So, this took me about an hour. The new ones take 20-40 minutes each. for a total of 120-240 minutes total (thats 2 to 6 hours).
Under the old cap system I had, on a good day, a half hour left over to fly around, chat etc. Now, i get my PvE dailies done, then I queue, play 2 LONG boring PvE captures (because it never seems to count when I do anything else, but who could tell with the names all messed up on half of everything in PvP), then I get irritated, and log because I need to sleep so I can go to work and pay for my house and kids food.
i just want an option that takes less time.
Did I mention that the new cap is boring? :eek:
