Guild Wars 2

So, I just got married yesterday, but my wife and I have been playing Guild Wars together since launch.

We love PvP. Sadly, we’ve been sticking primarily to PvE because we’re casual players and unless we were to get into serious tournament groups, doing any sort of sPvP is a frustrating mess since the game constantly either puts us in different games or pits us against each other when we join in together.

The really sad part is that with Wintersday, we can’t play the Snowball game together. There is no “Join in” feature and there is no “join as a group” feature either. There are so many games going at once that it’s practically impossible to end up together when we queue and even if we did, we’d likely end up on opposite teams.

So please, please…please, please, please, let us play together. We both love this game, but it’s sad and frustrating to no end that this social game puts so many barriers to letting us play together.

This game has been horrible since day one when it comes to playing together with your friends in anything other then questing. This is the primary reason me and my friends quit. Gave us to much of a headache.

Congrats on marriage, hope you guys have a happy life together

I remember a couple from GWGuru getting hitched, always nice to hear about.

Something against online GF’s while married?

Solution: Open scoreboard(set to b) and join the opposite team when a spot opens. I do it all the time when I play with my brother.

Premades in hotjoin would be too strong IMO. I run just with my brother and we top the scoreboard in every match we go in. Letting full teams in would turn the uncoordinated zergy fun mess of hotjoin into a massacre.

Well, switching teams can help in sPvP where we can get in the same group, but sadly this doesn’t work for stuff like Snowball fights, kick the keg, and just about any other non-party based instance stuff.

And I agree that joining non-grouped people against grouped people (premades) in PvP isn’t balanced, but this is easily fixed by pairing premade groups against other premade groups when they queue, just like WoW and other games do. There would have to be some degree of a queue time with a system like this, but this would be worthwhile because the lack of a queue already means that many games are started and play all the way through without teams ever being filled, while many other unfilled games go on at the same time.

Even if they did decide that they don’t want to change the sPvP mechanics, at least change them for things like Kick the Keg, Snowball Fights, etc.
