Guild Wars 2

I am currently waiting in the queue for WvW. Yes, this post occurs when WvW resets for the week and we have new opponents. OK, to get to the point.

Idea: Allow players to queue for WvW on a character, switch to another character, and remain in queue for WvW.

Idea: Allow players to choose which character they want to queue with for WvW.

Idea: Allow players to select which character they want to play with when zoning into WvW.

All three ideas are the same basic idea, and I apologize if the idea has already been presented. I did a quick search but did not find a post. Basically, I want to get in WvW with my thief, but I am also leveling an engineer. It would be awesome to open up the things we can do in game while waiting for WvW PvP fun.

I know, there are probably technical difficulties in implementing it. I doubt it could be quickly or easily coded, but I believe it would be a great feature to add to the game.

its a good idea because there are times when u have to wait an hour or more for wvw and who wants to be stuck on say a charactor that was made just for pvp or one that is done with almost all of pve stuff

Are others interested in something like this or is it more of a luxury for a smaller group of players?

I really think they should just allow you to queue for all 4 zones at once. This would mean potentially a more even distribution of players in the long run and faster queue times in general.

With the recent January patch I wanted to take another look at this idea. By now almost everyone in my guild has stopped playing GW2. They focus on PvP. I talked with a couple of them this week and their #1 issue is not being able to play with friends. How you might ask?

WvW Queue

There is no feedback for the WvW queue. No feedback for any of the four maps. You can’t even queue as a group and get in at the same time. Someone comes home from work and wants to get in to play with everyone else and they sit and wait in queue for an hour with nothing to do. They could go do sPvP any of their characters but they can’t. They can only do it on their main.

WvW queue feedback and the ability to do more while in game is needed.

sPvP

This is not part of my original post but it relates to the issue of not being able to play together. sPvP is not conducive to team/guild play. My guildies tried free tPvP but it happened much too slow. They hated all of the waiting between tournaments when all they want is to just jump and play some matches together.

I heard this past weekend had a lot of tournaments going on. Mostly due to tournaments being 1 vs 1 but that is not permanent.

In Closing

More in game feedback about waits, and queues is needed. Making it easier to PvP with your friends is needed. Quicker starts to team tPvP is needed to keep people interested.

As things stand my guild is currently not interested in the upcoming February update. They like the additions that are being added but here is a quote from a guildie, “They aren’t fixing the core issues.”

Feedback from other players would be much appreciated.
