Anyone else think SPvP is a mess?
It does seem to be a zerg fest. Whenever a greater numbered group rolls onto a node, they will get it.
Yeah i’ve been having a lot more fun joining the pugs with 4-6 people in them. Teams get unbalanced pretty often though.. when there are only 5 people whoever has the 3rd player is at a serious advantage.
I just can’t wait til they give us a “join as party” option and let us play with our friends for an entire sPvP match. :’(
Yes, very much so.
Loving this game outdoors. It’s the best in a long time. And I will keep playing the game for long because of this.
But imo spvp, wvw, and instances, are very boring. The skill driven combat instead of gear+holy trinity, is just a zergfest.
I completely disagree with this statement. As long as you have someone paying attention to the zerg, you only need to call out to go for the open nodes and you win the match.
I’ve been in many spvp matches where our team has done this and won. In fact, as long as you avoid the zerg, you’ll win the vast majority of the time.
It’s not about not beeing able to beat the zerg. It’s about having fun.
Same as I don’t find zerging fun, I don’t find running from undefended node to undefended node fun.
I dont really think its much a mess to be honest, i think the mode was made pretty well. The objective is simple and i just try to have fun. Somtimes it can be mindless zerg but most players will listen if you have somthing to say long as your nice, like directing them to blue/red lord somtimes. :p

Has anyone seen an AreanaNet comment on this (or any comments on sPvP)? I have searched but found nothing… and sPvP has been in discussion since the early beta weekends.

That is because most people that do hot join don’t seem to care about team play or winning, it’s all about killing everything that moves, and being 8v8 don’t help either.
If you want to play with your friends and something more coordinated i suggest the free tournament for now.
well if your following the zerg in sPVP your doing it wrong. Most of the time im capturing free nodes while everybody else is zerging somewhere else on the map. Easy win …

Exactly what I do. I tend to get more glory at the end of the match than anyone else due to doing that as well and you will always have people on the other side who want to do the same thing so you get some excellent 1v1 fights going while the group zerge is somewhere else.

Problem with joining as a party is, to do it right, they have to limit the queue so that people who join as a party only play against other people who joined as parties.
Otherwise, it would just be a cake walk, which is why PvP sucked so hard in Rift, for example.
Hot join is 8v8 and pug.
Premade/tournament PvP is 5v5.
Wait, you play in full games? I feel like I get a full game every now and then, and then after 1 match everyone leaves and it’s anywhere from 4-6 players per team.

To be fair, I personally hope that ArenaNet doesn’t implement such a thing. Allowing premades would just premote pug farming and ruin the experience for casuals that wish to play solo against other solo players. I think adding a separate queue for people that want to play together would be a more fair option for everyone.
Zerg fest, siege engines 2 shotting ppl, underwater fights (can’t use “F” and sharks pwn you), just pure fun .. PURE FUN.

Another example would be SWtOR. Pre-mades stomp over everyone in that game. There never seems to ba a shortage of whining in the forums about it.
