Guild Wars 2

Problem: Teams need to have the same number of players in order to have a fair game in pvp. I don’t think anyone enjoys losing when they feel like they could not do anything other than just die in 2v3, 3v4, etc. type situations because they have 1 less player on their team the whole time.

Goal: Only allow players to join a game when it would keep teams on an equal number of players.

Proposal: So if a player wanted to join in on a 3v3, instead of making it a 3v4 they would be put into a “waitlist” for the game or a waitlist for all of the custom games. Each game that has an unequal number of players pulls from the waitlist in order to balance the number of players on each team.

Problems: This still doesn’t solve the problem with people that leave right away (maybe a debuff like in GW1 that keeps people from PvP’ing for a certain amount of time). The other problem is that it may increase queue times as well but it should not increase it dramatically unless people choose to only queue for a certain custom game.

I agree…having 4v3 for 4 games is utter bs. it seriously made me log off and I didn’t enjoy the game. constantly getting F*****D over by being outnumberd in multiple matches is frustrating. Arena this is been a long standing issue. FIX THIS SHI**.

Next time you are in a 4v5 (nothing less) check to see if someone is sitting in Spectator. I have a suspicion that the game doesn’t recognize active players vs spectators properly on their hotjoin servers, and counts them towards the “active 10” which prevents new players from entering the server via “play now” since the game thinks the server is capped at 5v5.

What they need to do is only give credit when people start the game before match starts, should also randomly assign people to teams as well and increase the player cap back to 8v8.
If someone joins the game when its 100 – 20 and finishes and wins than they shouldn’t be given credit.

This way its a lot harder for people to stack teams and farm wins and pvp tracks because that’s what the issue is right now with hotjoins.

The issue with solo que right now is not that people don’t know how to play, its that they don’t know how to teamfight so 8v8 is more teamfight friendly. It’s easy to show a newb how to cap… To show a newb how to teamfight that’s a different story.
