Guild Wars 2

Make a minimal number of votes required for map to be in voting pull. Right now one troll can kitten up 9 ppl, this is silly.

I got skyhammer three times tonight because 1 person voted for it.

+1

Imho the highest vote should win, always.

nothing wrong here.
RNG map roulette is working as intended.

remember, the vote means a chance, it is not majority wins.

I am not sure how the probabilities are calculated, but at the moment it seems like there is an equal weighting for votes, so if 9 people vote for one map there is a 90% chance that the majority will win.

I would prefer if the probability was increasingly skewed toward the majority vote. For example in a 9 to 1 vote there should be less than 1% chance of the single vote winning. A 9 to 2 vote might give a 10% chance for the two vote winning etc. I don’t have an exact formula for it but I think you can understand my drift.

The reason is that 9 people voting for the same map is an overwhelming majority, and while it is nice that the minority has a voice, its just not right imo for one person to be able to override the such a strong consensus, at least not at the relatively high frequency I see atm.

It is working as intended, but imo what’s intended here is wrong. There should be a threshold, map should qualify for roulette first by scoring minimal number of votes. Thats how voting usually works.

And which map do you consider troll worthy? How about playing ranked and not unranked, there are no skyhammer, no spirit watch and no courtyard.

I like the way it works now. I’d hate for Foefire to be the only map in conquest. The format would be even more stale than it already is.

I think they should implement a ban vote, in addition to the map selection vote. Perhaps you first vote on the map you want to play on, and then you vote on the map that you don’t want to play on. If something like 7-8 players vote on the same map to ban, then that map is dropped from the roulette.

Still makes the bad maps possible, for the people dumb enough to enjoy them, but offers a better safeguard against that one troll that often ruins everyone else’s fun.

There’s nothing dumb about people who enjoy any particular map. To say such is extremely elitist and unhelpful.

If the majority always won wed probably be playing legacy of foefire…every…kittening…game. Unless one team is a premade set up for khylo. Ill be honest. LOF bores teh kitten out of me after playing it non stop for the last week.

Agreed. I happen to enjoy skyhammer despite playing a class with little to no access to stability. Its a fun map for me to play on because it isnt the standard (hey lets stand in circles and mostly forget about map mechanics until its too late to do anything with them) I like maps where the map reminds you its there every now and then. Out of the FOUR* that are currently being used as a standard map I enjoy temple the most because it bloody reminds you that HEY theres more do than fight in a tiny confined space.

In ranked queue (where the sucky maps don’t exist), I’d prefer the selection to be random. I like the variety between the 4.

In unranked queue (where the sucks maps do exist), I’d either prefer the sucky maps be removed, or at least 2 people need to vote for a map for it to be an option.

I think it should be totally random in ranked. I’m sick of foefire. The voting is very satisfying in unranked as is to me. I don’t get skyhammer/courtyard often, but when I do, I usually joke that we should 9v1 the person who voted for it. It’s nice to get those maps every once in a while.
