Congratulations Cryptic!
You have now instituted a way for Care-bears to "grief" PvP'ers with the new queue system with minuscule effort on their part! (yea, stalling someones time for hours is griefing, and purposely making PvP NOT work by one user is greifing to the other 9 ppl in the queue who PAY so they can enjoy PvP)
I do believe this is an MMO first?
Some people are already utilizing this nifty "feature" to hang up the queues after getting spawn camped in their last battle out of pure spite.
Oh yea, thanks also for making spawn camping a reality...I almost forgot what it was like since like EVERY MMO in the last 5 years seems to have fixed this issue.
If these 2 issues are not addressed soon (roll back even...), then PvP will most likely disappear.
My God people! Don't you have people on payroll that are supposed to think these nifty new "features" through?
I mean, one patch gives us 2 hardcore grief mechanisms.
May want to address this as soon as possible, heh.
I believe they've said several times now that the PvP Queue thing is high on their priority list right. The new system was implemented based on player feedback, but apparently never really iterated on after testers got their hands on it.
The spawn camping thing... I bet this was a last minute hack-fix to the issue where players were respawning at enemy bases on Tribble. Spawning close to your teammates is a good thing. Spawning THAT close and always in the same place... not so good.
In both cases, I suspect good intentions feeding into rushed timetables and potentially insufficient resources produced some negative results. Like you, I hope they're able to fix them quickly.
