Starting with the next Guild Battleground on March 23, we will adjust the start time for some matches to provide you with a better experience and less performance issues during that time.

This means all guilds participating may wait up to 10 Minutes after the normal start time. Don't worry, all guilds you will be matched with will wait as long as you, all matched guilds will start at the same time. With this change you should see a performance improvement during the first few minutes of the Battlegrounds.

We will also evaluate this feature and might change the time frame depending on how large the effect is and what you think about it. Now, we plan to release this change one week after the test starts on Beta.

Please note that on Beta you will probably not see any big difference since this change will have a more noticeable impact when it arrives on Live servers, due to the larger player population we have there.

Feel free to tell us what you think in the feedback thread!
