BG power hour schedule to help with Q times?

in PvP Discussion
Since Kumas Royale was added, the queue times of PvP BGs has taken a noticeable hit. People now have to "guess" which bg might pop and you can find yourself sitting in queue for a very long time if you guess wrong.

A BG Schedule that alternates 3s/Corsairs/Fraywind during different hours each day would help a lot.

    Multi queue would also be a fix to the problem, but the issue with that is how slow the BHS -> eme pipeline works. Even if BHS were to implement multi-q for PvP and fix matchmaking in a Ktera patch right at this very moment, we wouldn't get it for another 3 months at least most likely 6 months. Hell I would LOVE for multi q to exist but it would be far future at best.

    A BG bonus credit schedule is something that eme can actually do to remedy the immediate problem without needing to wait for bhs to do it for them. It doesn't even have to be double credits even something small like 25% more credits on a rotating 4 hour schedule would likely help queue times out a lot.

    It has been proven multiple times in the past that queue issues with battlegrounds can be fixed by simply tweaking rewards.

    Although true that it will make queues for all bgs pop, it'll pretty much also restrict those bg's from popping when it's not power hour. Which is why I'm always against it.
    Fix the core problems and don't try to have temp fixes :c

    BG have been dying in Tera left n right since 2013:
    -3s always ded
    -fwc depends on rewards
    -presently its CS thats ded
    -kumas will always live

    Active BG are only active based on the rewards, It's that simple and everybody knows this.


    Rewards from a PVE perspective:

    PvErs, the majority that q for BG will only want Versas in this current version of Tera. Versas is 160K credits? DSL or SSHM farm. OK how about crystals? I'd rather do vanguard dailies. What about the Starfall mats? Quicker to get via dungeon spamming. Gold? Only people who make gold are Elite, strike 1. W/L ration means PVP for casuals is a colossal waste of time after you factor in the long qs, strike 2. Get PVP gear? Hmm well lets see CSR is tryhard, FWC zergfest + premades dominate, CS qs long. Whats left Kumas and Dueling translation: Why the heck would a PVEr who is still wasting months rerolling gear/ enchanting just stop and get PVP gear just for Dueling?

    PVP in its current state creates absolutely no incentives for PVErs to q BG and that is 100% the problem right now.
