Guild Wars 2

Today, twice, I’m the second highest scorer on the winning team, with 85% of the match over, and I’m balanced to the losing team. TWICE! The PvP monthly includes wins. How in anyone’s estimation is that kind of autobalance fair?

Why not take the guy who joined last? Why not just fix the teams? Why not penalize people who bail from matches after let’s say 1 min passes?

You still get everything the win would give you.

i just afk if autobalance lol

One thing that would probably help is if there was a button to bypass server selection and simply jump right into a match and these people would be used to even out teams. Anyone who joins that way would be given extra glory (just like people who are auto-balanced currently) in order to incentivise it’s use.

You do realize if you either 1) Volunteer or 2) are forced into auto balanced you still get all the perks for winning right? And don’t even kitten about the “monthly” if anything it should be a “weekly”

Also, why the kitten would you penalize someone for leaving a Hotjoin? They’re supposed to work like a shooter, you can get on and kill people for like 30 minutes and get off.

relax, you still get a +1 win for being auto balanced.

and, please chill, relax, you are playing in hotjoin.
hotjoin is supposed to be like that one.

just enjoy the ride.

Whenever I’m in hotjoin and see that message pop up, I rush to volunteer. As I see it:

1. I’m guaranteed the win bonus.
2. I get an extra bonus for volunteering.
3. I get more practice in difficult combat situations, which is why I’m in hotjoin to begin with.

or go do soloq or teamq

aye!

there was once, when i volunteered and swap over, won the match heheh.
it was in raid of the capricorn though.

we camped their spawn and spawn killed them for a while after capturing all the 3 points.

Don’t really play hotjoin any more, but it did kitten me to tears that you’d be balanced while carrying the orb in Spirit Watch. Usually right when you were about to score.

Make the carrier immune to autobalance. It’s rank, mouth-breathing common sense that should really go without saying.

Hey.
Hotjoin is meant to be a place where you go for pure fun, where players come and go as they like.
It’s supposed to be cassual, thus punishing players for leaving is a terrible idea.

The reason I volunteer:

So I can yell “I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUNE!!” Into my TS/Skype call.

Since you still get the win bonus if you get auto balanced i usually don’t mind getting balanced.
Although it sucks when you’re in the same server with friends since they just hunt me down then T_T
