Guild Wars 2

It’s not even 1 day old, and ppl alrdy abuse “Solo” play and sync to be in one party of 2-3 ppl, so they get better ratings.
Anet, hot fix this or solo ladder will be abused with such cheaters.
It’s already happening.

They already said it wouldn’t happen so prolly nothing they can do about it.

Oh gr8…. <.<
So nvm ledderboards then if they got abused so easily, still they prove nothing then.

Ya its sad player call this out to devs before it even happens. You’d think that they would have thought of this…. All my losses are from syncs. :/ well ESO is next year hope someone gets it right.

Well if the playerbase is as small as it seems to be, if u join at the same time than ur friend, most likely u will get in the same roster, even if you can’t see it.
How can you fix this ? Well, u can’t, unless u put silly things like: wait 1 minute to assign this dude to a roster.

10 or even 20 people who join solo get put in a pool of 10 then it randomly splits. Compared to hey 5 people Q on a team then then next 5 are on a team. 2 much syncing is going on.

Team sync? They aint abusing it, well davinci isn’t because I just saw him in solo que and he had no sync members with him.

Funny I saw him synced. He must missed 1 then. Ive seen up to 4 synced at a time!!!! OUTRAGEOUS!

This is an unsolvable problem.

League of legends has the same issues. – however this problem is mitigated by the following:

different ratings will tend to throw you into separate queues
the larger the playerbase the less of a chance you are going to be matched with your friend.

I can do this in lol providing the following:
me and my friends are roughly the same elo
we sync queue at almost the same time
then there is a good chance we end up in the same game.

The only problem is that you have a nearly equal chance of ending up on the opposite team. Which can happen here in gw2 if you attempt to sync.

this is so sad, and i bet half of these sync queuers spent last 6 months kittening and asking for a solo queue.

I would just like Anet to acknowledge the problem for now.

today i tried to play with a friend and do this sync crap … 2 times we went against each other and the last 1 we got together but there was 1 dude missing … who cares lol this is like RA its awsome

BTW I hope those of you guys saying you warned them about it, know that they probably already finalized it BEFORE announcing it so warning them was already too late.

What exactly will acknowledging the problem do?

Honestly, I don’t see arenanet hotfixing it, they are going to play the wait and see game like they always have and maybe in a couple of weeks or never “fix” it If it needs to be fixed.

I think that if you play at a time when mostly high-MM rated hardcore people are playing, you may tend to get rolled on a weaker team.

If you play at a busier time, you have more of a chance at playing with people your own MM rating.

I play at PM hours EU time. It’s no the case if I’m vs hardcore or not, I’m not bad and I can take care of myself. It’s good I’m usually teammed with r40+ or 50+ vs same high rankz coz I’m simmilar rank. And also I don’t mind loosing vs good random team, it also makes me improve somehow.
BUT I do no want to loose vs premaded “random”. Atm I got 10/4 rating, and ALL 4 loosses i got are from facing 3 same guilded players on opp team, and ofc they r were on ts. And also in those games I had r15’s or r 20’s. I don’t mind having such ranks unless they play good and at least try to communicate and go where they r needed.
So if I didn’t face such “randoms” I could be round top5 if I won other games. And i simply couldn’t won those coz they were coordinated on enemy team.
It is just frustrating coz I put effort to win as solo, telling team where we shall go, where help is needed, but typing it all to random guyz is not effective vs premaded ts’ed enemy.
And ofc ppl that will say they r tops achieved this by cheating (I won’t tell names here).
I don’t know how they do it they r alwayse together, I don’t rlly care, just Anet should make a bigger pool, like 20 players and randomly get ppl from it into games, maybe it would solve anything.

That’s why you gotta have a system where it takes a pool of 10 players then equally distribute them, rank wise, profession wise. That way people cant que at same time and have 90% chance of getting in same group.

Current system just hides the people in que but if you que’ed at same time its likely that you’ll be on same team, not always the case.

Yeah arenanet..stop 2-3 players who are friends in real life from gaming with each other!! They are cheating by simply walking up to the soloQ and all pressing enter within 10 seconds of each other..that is so-so very wrong,..it’s like their taking steroids!! I thought this game was designed for the single guy who had no friends..this totally sucks. Us lone wolves are totally facerolled!!

This is basically what this thread is about. Stopping 2-3 friends from being on the same side. Seems kinda nasty when people would rather have rank in a game, then let friends actually do stuff that friends do.

Think about what your saying.

In other games where I have featured on a top 10 leader board, most of the time the highest ranked person was,..you guessed it..the player who could dedicated the most time, not necessarily the best player. We all asked for soloQ and we got it. We got what we asked for.

Actually you need to think about what you’re saying.
“Stopping 2-3 friends from being on the same side” is exactly what has to be done in a solo ladder… which does not mean that they’re not able to play with each other. Ever heard of Team Arena?

Socram is correct. That’s what the Team Arena is for: friends playing together.

There is no good reason for “friends playing together” to play together on the Solo Queue.

HAHAHA THEY CANT FIX IT.
less then 1000ppl play active pvp in eu
synch too kittening easy. they screwed their player. pvp wont work anymore gw2 doesnt have enough players. ppl will be more and more bored to play against the same enemys.
