City Sieges and the Suffering of the Queue

Hello Reckoning family,

Ill be honest I'm a little mad atm for failing to get a city siege instance pop after being queued with a group for 30 mins (with lots of soloers getting in instead of our fully formed group). Its tremendously unreasonable to play 10+ hours, push 2 forts and in the end not even merit a City instance. A lot of people have just resulted in "parking" their characters outside City gates to try and be first one inside.

My question is: If the devs will address the queue problem present at city sieges, for example, will there be an implementation of RESERVATION as in forts? What method should I follow in order to maximize my chances of getting a queue pop?

As for advice, some people have recommended always to just solo queue while other just say hurry up to be in the first WB that queues. Personally, I like forming my own little premade (which takes few minutes to form) instead of solo queue and getting put into a random disorganized pug.

Thanks in advance for any responses <3 :mrgreen:

EDIT: A message spawn talking about CITY SCENARIO after the City timer had run out. But after leaving the Warband, the City SC was not available and had disappeared from the list.

You need to queue up with a full warband, even then, you only get in if there's a matching full warband on the other side. Better luck next time.

Last week we queued with 2 groups and faced full (it was full, not populated from solo queue, as their lead was streaming) 2-2-2 wb. So it seems matching full wb is not a strict requirement. And even 2-2-2 is not, as our remaining 2 grps lacked tanks and heals.
Was it as intended or a queue bug?
