Guild Wars 2

As title says. 5v4 games should be automatically cancelled before they start, or at least allow people to leave without getting a penalty. I have no motivation to play a 5v4.

It’s going to take them a year to implement that…

You mean like fixing the WvW queues?

Dev posted this just a few hours ago in response to 4v5’s….no info on how soon the fix will come though

How hard would it be for you to prioritise something such as a requirement that each player press the “I’m ready” button within the match start time limit, else everybody is booted back to the lobby and rejoins the queue with the players they had already been matched with while the game searches for more?

It is already a priority and is likely to be done as part of the back-end server restructure.

If it wouldn’t take you that long to implement, why can’t you just include it in one of the bi-weekly PvE patches? It would improve SoloQ considerably with that change alone.

It would not be a simple change for the existing systems unfortunately. We also can’t just slip things in to random updates like that for many good reasons which I agree with but can’t get into on the forums.

I’m in the middle of writing an outline for the matchmaking blog, hopefully that will go out soon so you guys can at least see what proposals we have planned. We’ll also start a discussion around the proposal. I’m sure that together we can come up with something awesome and practical.
