    What happens when buddies sign up together for pvp?
    I tell you what happens every pvp-festival week:
    A group of 6 ppl gank every player that enters the pvp area without giving any chance to get prepared for pvp, without any chance to get quests from npc. So players leave the battlefield and still there is only a 6 men group ganking all entering players.
    That's easily solved by forming a group before entering Border Kingdoms to be prepared for that other group.

    You can't form a group when there are no other players willing to go pvp event.

    You're talking like we are asking for 6-man premade ques... We just want 1-2 person ques. No pug stomping. Just the ability to play with your friends. My friend laughed when he rolled a Barb on Fury and I told him there was no physical way we could be on the same team every-time. No other MMO does that.

    You can add my +1 for the tournament queue replacement, since it is not working properly anyway or towards the option in addition. No need to touch the pug signups though, imo.
    Well I tried to keep any/all of my subjective views out of it, so I only choose people that said explicitly that they support 1-2 buddy sign-ups. If we can convince you that pug sign-ups need updated then I'll put you on the list, but until then I'm just going to keep it for people that support 1-2 buddy sign-ups.

    If you can actually do as you claim, you probably are one of the 6ppl dominating and benefiting. Even if you can find 6ppl to form an attack, the design is not encouraging them to keep a fight going when it comes to most quests (except the arenas maybe, but even there the max number applies).

    @usedtissue:
    Have it your way then. I think adding 1-2 ppl buddy signup to a new queue or replacing tournament queue with a 1-2+ buddy queue signup sounds like a +1 to the OP post to me. What you now say sounds more like you do not want a buddy signup mainly, but to get rid of current pug queue (which imo is not necessary and counterproductive, if you really wanted a buddy queue). Right now pug queue works more or less, but tournament queue is broken definitely.

    The main reason to replace the PUG queue, rather than tournament mode, is that keeping separate "pure PUG" and "buddy + PUG" queues will split an already small (and still shrinking) PvP population.

    Also, the pure PUG queue does not really provide any added value over a "buddy + PUG" queue. By contrast, tournament mode offers some added value, as (at least in theory) it allows for optimized, competitive team matches, which a queue limiting buddy signups to groups of 2 does not offer. Sure it's not used a lot - but at least it provides the option e.g. for people to organize pvp tournaments.

    I think Rathothis hit the nail on the head. We just don't have the population to have 3 separate ques. For god sakes, we don't even have the population to fill one que at times. Adding an additional buddy sign-up que would only split the already way too small PVP community. In addition the extra interface options needed for three ques would make an otherwise easy coding change a lot more work on FC's behalf. Again it is just not feasible to add a third que.

    Let me break-down my idea and why it is the right way forward:

    What's the problem? The problem is that we cannot play with friends in a social online game. Not being able to sign-up with friends/guildies leaves there no reason to play with friends or be in a guild minus T3 BK buffs.

    What is my solution? Let sign up with 1-2 friends. The only reason why the que didn't work in the old days is one full team of six could sign-up and completely destroy a regular PUG team. This solution has all of the positives, with none of the negatives (No chance of complete PUG stomping, nor the high coding cost of adding three ques). Some of the best and most experienced PVPers are on the petition for good reason.

    Id love to put your name down on the list, we just have to realize that adding another que is never going to happen or be beneficial in the age where ques are empty the majority of the time.

    this 100%

    why be in a guild when i can group with someone, hence why I'm in a dead guild on fury and a PvE guild on Crom(I don't do any PvE unless i can afk the whole thing)

    aight well here is my 2 cents on buddy ques

    first cent

    --there is still no 'kills only' minigame. (there is the role a conq, grab a flag, sit on a pad minigame mode *yawn*)
    --minis are disbalanced gear wise, AA wise
    --hags are gey



    second cent

    my prob is the half-*ss measures with FC, everything in aoc PvP related has not been polished or thought through

    As it stands, for me to bring a RL buddy to the game and to start PvPing with, he needs to do the following to be competitive(not at par) with the vets of this game:

    --grind 80 levels in a dead and barren world (and for most part dead player chat, freebies don't see global)
    --grind an alt on a free account
    --run package quests and alt farm 40 kills every 8h for a couple months and;
    --during PvP festival log on during the wee hours of the night and beg for a spot in the fields of slaughter group, tell them that you will dual log an alt to farm to complete all the arena quests
    --after some 2 or 3 months you have pvp t1 gear plus a couple t3 pieces

    after 3 months and a 100 odd$ wasted of your life you are slightly competitive. tons of remaining weaknesses but heh. (i don't have a single RL buddy, work mate, or family member that is that ret*rded)

    and now we know why the newcomers on our servers are challeneged

    conclusion:

    buddy que's doesn't solve the problem with AoC. Hence, I won't be any happier with AoC.
