Does Zone Matter When Queuing?

When you enter the queue for the Halloween mission, who else is in the queue?

Is it only other folks in the same zone as yourself, or is it drawn from the entire server?

Would you therefore need to be in a higher population zone in order for a team to fill out or could you be in the Shadow Shard and get on a team just as fast?


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

It's the entire server. I queued up the other day on my rogue and joined a team with a villain and two heroes, all from different zones.

Sweet, thanks a bunch.

I was one of the only people in my zone this morning when I hopped into a holiday trial via queue. The other three people weren't. /whoall

I noticed at the end of one of a DfB that three people went back to Steel Canyon, Two went to Atlas Park, while I returned to Kings Row.

However, if you make a pre-formed team or league, all of them must be in the same zone before you can put your team or league in the Queue.

So individuals can be in any zone, but a team or league must all be in the same zone. That's way the incarnate stuff usually forms up in a designated zone, like RWZ.

When we exited the trial, we all went back to our original zones. They were all different.

I am just a little skeptical, as apparently no one on my server uses the queue, or it's broke, as it never works. Okay once it worked, but that's out of about 10 tries.

Obviously location is confirmed, and I know you can tell by clicking on people what morality they are, but most people probably still eyeball it using the AT symbols, which don't mean anything now.

One time it didn't work even when I queued up with allow event in progress after I knew for a fact a 7 person team had entered. Oh well.

This is the most likely reason. Yesterday, I got into a couple trials quickly. Today, while doing other stuff I queued up and it was over half an hour before a trial popped on me.

How do you do this? I know you can right click->info people to maybe see it, but that's only if they've set it to be visible. Most people I've check have it hidden.

Yep. Pre-formed teams and leagues don't let outsiders join from the queue. The queue isn't broken, people are just choosing to block it.
