Guild Wars 2

It’s really the main reason why your queues take ages and very few people bother waiting for hours for a single game to actually happen in instance where you have nothing to do.

They’ve already explained that since the initial ability to do this the game has changed in such a way that this would not work or take up more time than they want to give it.

Better solution would be add things to Hotm.

Yes begin with crafting stations.

Yeah they have explained a few times, that queuing out side of HoTM, is a pain. they would have to find a way to take you out of a queue and put you back in while a map is loading so you don’t miss a queue pop and end up with dishonoured, and they have no idea how they would do this. The said they also need people to know that they have different builds and skill set up in PvP. That gear is not really a factor, that all your stats are done for you.so making people go to HoTM will make them notice this as soon as they first go there.

I’m not saying it’s ideal, but it is what it is. I too would like to see things added to HoTM, something like a JP maybe some mini games like the challenges that are in HoT.

A dueling option in the training area ?

A mystic toilet.

Yeah, I don’t get why they took it out in the first place.

Both are bs problems rly.

First of all, if person is queued and it happens during his load time it should automatically accept(since decision to queue was already made) or prolong the wait time if person is still loading(more work for devs but more fair i guess)

Loading gear is not a problem because game already loads mists and then pvp map if you leave during match, so there’s no problem of loaidng gear+build.

seeing as we know nothing about the game code. Nothing is easy or a BS answer.

Both of these are absolute shenanigans. Anet knows exactly how to implement this.

There was a glitch shortly after their new GUI interface (or right after their removal of PvE queues, forgot which) where players, onced queued in HoTM, could leave and receive the queue pop up anywhere. The glitch was that the queue didn’t take them out of the pool, allowing a second queue to pop up out of nowhere, even in game!

Players would queue in HotM then go duel or do some PvE because the queue would pop. Anet wont let us queue out of the Mists for other political reasons… not because it’s impossible or “hard”.

Give us back mystic forge. Add JP. Add dueling grounds. Thank you.

They stated reasons that I personally not agree with but can accept for why you can’t que from anywhere. BUT. I hate how HotM looks. It could be so much better.
My suggestion(s):
-Change style. Current theme doesn’t feel heroic and/or like the mists. It looks like a broken castle. Just no. Something like tarir theme or the fractals lobby would be much cooler and fitting.
-Add arenas. Just like the ones in guild halls, that people can spectate from around. Like 5 of them. Some that only allow 1v1s, others just FFA to allow people to actually PvP while waiting and feel warmed up. The npcs are not an excuse. I already got tired of 1 shotting all the non-dodging npcs going in circles till que pops.
-Other side activities? This one isn’t burning for me but having a JP or something neat like that can also be nice.

I don’t feel like this is THAT much for something that will change 50% of my time and many other people’s time in gw2 (10 minute ques, 10 minute games) from just standing into having fun.

They said its so you dont miss a queue during a load screen… really a joke of a response. Especially since more queues are missed due to being alt tabbed than were ever missed due to loading a new zone—where are all the threads complaining about missed queues due to load screens anyway, isnt missing a queue kind of the risk you take? I cannot imagine anyone in favor of removing the ability to queue from outside heart of the mist—so the answer is most likely monetary. Maybe they find more people buy kitten from the gem store or something while they stand around staring at the screen.
