Solo que revisions are on the horizon guys, hang tight. I can’t give an exact date (that gets me in trouble), but it’s is on its way.
At some point in time I think the developers need to up their game and give themselves a deadline. Especially in pvp. Sure, if you don’t give a deadline you have more time to work on your stuff, but the opposite of that is true that of that time it tends to be less productive if you aren’t working towards a publicly accepted deadline. It just seems like this constant hiding behind dates is an excuse to slack off and give one pvp change per 2 months and keep everyone on the edge by saying, o soon, don’t worry!
The story of the boy who cried wolf comes to mind.

They need to either open up all the way with what/when or just shutup entirely.
This middle ground they have where everything is extremely censored and vague only annoys people and hurts the player population willing to stick around until that ‘horizon’…
Saying nothing leaves unspoken hope.
Saying everything gives rationel, and so lets people cope as progress is being made. Even by just setting deadlines and updating if/why they get set back.
If the devs can convince the other developers as to why certain things should be tackled first and how they should be tackled… rationalizing it to forum goers should be cake.
Anyways… idc… its kinda late for this game as it is anyways.
Can someone make a collection of everytime Anet says something is “on the horizon”?
haha . . . ye, we can expect a new reward-system, more Titles, AoE-Nerf, soloq/teamq-split and many more things in the near future. Sound great, doesn’t it?
Let’s hope the thursday ‘6-month blog’ has some juicy PvP tidbits.
“We are working on solo que and are working to get it to you before christmas! Also, a new map you guys will hate and have removed from the tournament rotation”

Really awesome news, thanks!
Are there any plans for a duo queue as well? It’s not as important as solo, but a hybrid solo/ duo queue is cool when someone wants to play with a friend for fun, without the risk of facing premades. Part of the fun of a mmorpg is playing with friends, and a duo queue is a way to do that in pvp without having to make a highly-coordenated voice-chat hardcore team.
Well a hybrid solo/duo is not the best choice because when you play with a friend you can choose your setup to take advantage of your friend setup, and that gives you and your friend advantage over solo queue players. (still is far way better than facing premades).
I entered my first tourney ever on my OP necro. I figured maybe I would get to play against some noobs since I’m only in the 90%’s.
Instead I got to fight against jumpers pre-made. Last I check he was rank 1-2. I was not grouped with anyone. We got destroyed.
I’d rather not play than be matched against the #1 team. I’m not that serious lol. Match making logic needs to be changes IMO.
Why does everyone get the impression that anyone in Absolute Legends is good?
The Fact that you have the audacity to call anyone from Absolute Legends bad astounds me.. You will always be “it’s Ok to be Mad” in my book takei.. seeing as how I’ve stomped you in every single tournament we’ve ever been in together you should show some respect to the Top Tier Players who’s skill levels transcend yours.. Shan doesn’t deserve to be badmouthed by a crap player like you.. “Mr. I can’t break 500 on the LB”

I think people should learn to read better.. Swinsk clearly stated that it was his first tournament ON his OP necro… He tourneys all the time on his thief.. & he is a great thief, seeing as how i field him on my team on a regular basis! (;
If you give a date you can lie or fail. If u don’t give a date you can’t lie or fail, the new feature will be there, u will just probably die before of normal human aging so u won’t see it, but it will be here .

K, I was wondering that. But does he really expect character-based ranks/matchmaking? :/
Nothing like facing the premades in the solo que, just had 4 matches in a row against premades, got blapped 4 times. Previous two matches were 4v5’s, thks for caring aNet <3

Is there any sort punishment in ArenaNet given to employees who release ETAs?
Like being forced to listen to the whole discography of Justin Bieber hanging upside down?
The reason why they don’t give an exact date is because of the expectation people have when they state a certain date as opposed to saying soon.
Considering I’ve run into him before (unless my memory is mixing things up) Im quite sure that is not the case.
He means the first Tourney done with a post-patch necro.
Everything will be fixed soon guys. Just be patient.
I understand raging on forums is not mature etc. but come on. How long we need to linger with this issue? This should be a simple fix. No need to develop complex new content or anything. People been asking for solo queue way back in last year. Since then the things are only becoming worse. The amount of full premades I must face are going up with each month. Maybe I should start doing some statistics? I am however pretty confident that in the last month or so at least 2/3 of my solo queue matches were against full 5/5 premades. I suppose that lots of solo queuers already gave up and moved along to something else. And the longer this case is unresolved than even worse it will become risking going FUBAR at some point.
i post this in other topic, why not just make the 2 tourney/separate list queue options?, i dont see this is too hard to do just a soloq (without options for join/invite friends) and a party/friend/team/etc. and both sides are separate each other list/queue. thats would bring a simple/haft solution (afk/leaver no solved), at least we can play and know that the other team is random too and dont have a voice chat comunication software hahahahaha XD

No I don’t really expect it based on character, but I don’t expect as a solo q to get matched against the number one team when my rank is only 90% and not even on leader boards. Even if they are the only team playing, I’d rather get a popup that gives me a choice of declining the game. I’m not one for leaving matches but when the system completely fails like that I’d rather not go through the frustration.
I think when there is no players on that are in your rank it should present you with an option of playing against higher level players or simply bowing out and waiting for people your rank. Currently, you have no choice. If no one is on and jumpers team is playing, that rank 12 guy who just started playing and wanted to get some cool looking tourney gear is going to get ripped and have no idea why. He will probably be turned away from doing tournies. However, if he were given a choice or warning letting him know he was playing against a premade high ranked team and that is all the system could find for him to play. He might not feel so frustrated or he could decline and try again later.
Plain and simple, playing solo q the way it is now is torture, your basically fodder for premades. For people that don’t want join a pvp guild/team your choices are hot join (ie. Zerg fest) or solo queue (free points for premades).
And im thinking " on the horizon" prob means December 31st, so … woot. I’m very very close to never going near pvp again even though i love it.
Hotjoin takes over everything. Told you guys. This is a cancer. The only remedy for Pvp is to remove hotjoin.
the only cancer here is Anet not providing what the people want.
Solo Q / premade split has been on the horizon for what 5-6 months now .
Resuslt of anet’s slow reaction to this problem = probebly more then half of the casual players left.
and the other half of the casual players are barely hanging in there in hotjoins.
Question is will they make it to the end of the horizon….. ( probebly another 20% of the casual spvp community wont)
ow and just to point out , if a pvp game isn’t attractive for the casual player its not gone grow at all. ( past 5 months should prove this if anet dares to show there numbers of players leaving the spvp scene / number of inactive accounts that only pvp’ed the majority of there time)
To sum it all up : Be nice to hotjoin , its the only small lifeline Spvp/tpvp still has.
AND seeing technicly you can never reach a horizon, hotjoin will be the only lifeline for quiet a while in spvp/tpvp.

I was being sarcastic, I don’t have faith in anet to make pvp in gw2 good. Understanding the fact that they took little to nothing from gw1 pvp besides skill names, didn’t include basic features like solo queue not going against premades from the beginning. And its already been one year and the problem isn’t fixed.
So my expectations are extremely low.

For the kittening love of god. I’ve been trying to duo with my buddy and since yesterday we had something like 10 matches… ALL of them against a full group, or a 4 man queue.
Today its already 3 matches against a full groups… one of them a super yoloqueue with Hman, Hemo, Twerp, Skovs & Symbolic. We’re probably not even rated, we’re mostly like 90% by now.
I mean, srsly. What the kitten Anet? Next time one of you clowns log into Anvil Rock ima spam your kitten till you block or ban me.
Glad I’m not the only one that gets frustrated by SoloQ. I wish people would stop hating on hotjoin; every time I try tournies (read, SoloQ) I get immensely frustrated; at least hotjoin/casual games are at least mildly entertaining. If tourney was all that remained I’d leave SPvP entirely…
I love tournies every now and then. Usually soloQ or occationally 2-man queue. While not getting up against full premades would be nice, there are potential problems. First of all, what about the rewards? would they be split up? and the newly made groups, would have to train against old premades?
An alternative would be to disallow the top premades from getting up against soloQ’s. Just saying the top 50 (how many premades are there?) can only get up against other premade teams
Solo que revisions are on the horizon guys, hang tight. I can’t give an exact date (that gets me in trouble), but it’s is on its way.
We were told this in Gw1…. that a format that put randoms together, against Premades, was going to be revised. It never happened and Codex died way too early of a death because of it. Also the lack of ladder matching or ensuring that complete newby premades don’t get pit against a team that would roll them all in 8 seconds. that’s a case sadly where you just have to tell the Uber team “Sorry, the matchmaking can’t find a team for you…. please split up and fight eachother instead”.
Apart from players’ dislike of the limitations brought forward by Codex, another major reason why the format died was the saddening fact they never followed up on their teasers of possibly adding ladder/tournaments to it. Much like this game’s pvp, initially a relatively large GW1 crowd flocked to the mode at release and you could see a fair share of activity….and yet it was all for naught.
And that is just so similar to how GW2 was at the beginning, together with its lack of basic game infrastructure and features inside the game that foster the PvP community, instead of relying on the community to foster itself.
So many false promises/borderline lying has been done in regards to this game’s prequel that one cannot help but take every info released by Anet with a (large) grain of salt.

Yeah you’re right… that is a 2 way street I can imagine.
I’ve see lots of comments from lots of top level players in all sorts of games, the old “We don’t like boring fights against complete newbs, anymore than they like fighting us”. And very little of the complaints about the format (other than people who just wanted “TA” back, aka: standard 4vs4 premades … ) were about it being a bad format. So yeah it was definitely a matchmaking issue as well as lack of real tournament support.
Obviously that won’t fix sPvP alone when the only game mode is Conquest (which tends to hyperfocus everything on only string of viable builds per class) …but it was probably the biggest single failing for sPvP at launch as far as my friends were concerned who WANTED to do sPvP but kept getting completely mismatched against either laughable randoms, or, unbeatables like [KOSS]
