I'm a patient person, but waiting for a race for 2 hours is pushing it a little. Why does it take a long time to enter a race? And once the screen comes up to go to the race, I click to go and nothing happens. Is this happening to everyone else?

I have a rule, if I'm not in a race or pyp within a certain time, I quit and do something else. Or I join a different race.

Yes! It is not so much waiting for a race, but when you finally get the interface that says go to arena, many times nothing happens. I have asked this question before, but never got a reply.

the only reason why it happens when you finally get to click to race is because people usually use the bathroom or are making some thing to eat while they wait for the race to begin

This is the cause of the opponents that are in battles. They cannot accept when in battle.And it takes two hours because of again, a lot of them are in battle. Hope this helps.

Well if they are in battle then they should be taken from the ranked derby match why should the people sitting there waiting get punish and have to wait ten times longer then you should and if its because they dont have enough people to play then they need to get a incentive for more people to join pet derby matches because the wait time on it is rediculous and frustrating and it needs to be fixed

Yes this is the case with me I can never get into a race. I enter my pet and wait for hours. Occasionally I get the popup to enter so I hit yes and nothing happens. Then there is the case where I and 2 others get to the track and it says waiting on opponents but then the other two disappear and then I leave the race and the que.

What is the deal?

Everyone can participate, however you must be at least level 7 to enter the Pet Pavilion. If you are at least level 7 please talk to Merle Ambrose for more information.

If you want the prize, you have to build the ladder rung by rung. There are no shortcuts.

it happens to me all the time, and i do agree it is sometimes angering. it especially gets hard to find a match when you work your way up the ranks to commander and warlord. I haven't been able to get into a match for three days. i:

The thing is, none of those things you mention should take an hour or two. It would be much nicer to not have to wait so long, especially if you're told to enter the arena.

I can go hours without getting a match- lately all day. I will farm and wait and nothing. I don't know if many people aren't doing derby or what? I noticed the best time to get a match is when school gets out. With summer break now - who knows ?
