As far as I know, you cannot log out your character into a new character in SoloQ.

Ive done it so far in prematch before game starts..It works obviously..Dont know about midgame changes though

OK, if that works, that’s useful.

Ok, from what I see the biggest problem is people crave for the points, so best thing you can do is not being a point-hoe.

-Communicate
-If you are at capture point with someone else and you see noone coming, leave it and let him capture. Don’t worry about the points you get at the end of the game, be mobile. Base is secured? Go capture other base or help somewhere else, don’t lose time on capping points in 3 ppl.
-Do not waste time on finishing off the enemies when they are downed. Oh boy, this is so annoying. If you are 3v3 and one enemy gets into downed state don’t waste time to finish him off. Down the rest of the enemies. He is healing? Smack him with a hammer from time to time. Your teammate downed? Get stability and finish off downed enemy (of course keep an eye on your ally so noone does the same thing to him). If you finish off enemies too fast they respawn and come to the point you defend right away with full hp. Forcing them to bleed out gives you much more time and locks them out of combat. Someone tries to revive him? Keep hitting him them both. This is so simple yet usually there is an ele, he gets downed, from 3v3 fight this is now 2v1 because your teammates try to force finish off the ele, meanwhile enemies shoot them like ducks and ele pops the mist form. BAM. now they both are downed and get killed. Ele gets up and you are 1v3, this happens whole the time.
-If you are at one point and there is only 1 enemy I’m sure your two teammates can handle him whoever he wouldn’t be. There is no point to come 5v1. And even if you do that already do not stay all 5 to finish him off, I’m also sure 1 person can perform that hard task. You don’t get points? Boo hoo, just win the game already and stop caring about the points you get.
-You have a chance to ninja cap the base? Do it. Only 1 enemy defending and you can kill him? Do it and take it.
-Don’t fight till you die. Your health getting low and you are on cds? gtfo the fight and come back in few seconds. Noone will chase you and if they will chase you they are bad and you just helped your team. You are much more useful to your team alive, and getting out of combat and jumping back in after few seconds is faster than waiting on the respawn and running entire way.
-Don’t fight outside the capture points.
-Noone went treb? Go take it. Noone went skyhammer cannon? Go take it. Someone who is at cannon/treb has been attacked? Help him.
-Don’t go solo vs 3 enemies. If you control 2 bases and you want the third one so badly don’t go solo vs 3, regroup with your teammates (I don’t know why people run 1v3, die, rez, and go back there repeating the process).
-If someone is marking targets focus the marked target, if he is marking bad, you mark. This is very important, it is much faster to focus down enemies 1 by 1 than fighting 3v3 with everyone on different enemy.

I don’t know what to write, these things are so obvious and people fail to understand the simplest logic involved. I always write what to do on /t chat and when people listen to me we always win. When I say one go henge rest go buff and then take keep someone always runs solo mine and dies there, 2 or even 3 go capture the henge, ending in you being solo or 2v4. This is very sad, if your team plays as a team you won it already. If everyone goes his own way you can’t do a thing. Let them focus that guardian and cry a little.

This, this, this. This is by far, the best point that can be said about PvP within GW2 ( or any team-based game ). It’s a shame people don’t realize that, and try to play GW2 like a Call of Duty game: On a team, but not on a team, trying to push-out the most kills.

Vove has some EXCELLENT advice!

Use the “KISS” principle. Revive, Stomp and don’t die. “Keep it Simple Stupid”

Yeah it really is obvious for experience players but it should be the “Terms of Agreement” before you join Solo Arenas. Lack of new-players advice is a fatal flaw in Anet’s priorities.

Dufox.3150:

best advise anyone could ever give is to get rid of the thought that pops inside your head when you die that sounds something like “what a noob”

wrap your mind around the concept that other people in pvp are not stupid & some even know things you dont.
then take the word “cheap” out of your vocabulary. its a disgustingly overused word that is completely and utterly false 99% of the time when people use it.

understand that everything has a counter, if you die then you simply haven’t figured out what to do when that situation comes up…or you just made a mistake.

“skill” is another word used wrong but its not an unbearable lie, it just leads people to the wrong frame of mind. “skill” is considered to be something you learn as you play the game & by playing the game you will simply get better. that is FALSE.
“skill” is and always will be a learning process that does NOT end. (id go into detail but that would require a few paragraphs & this post is long enough already^^ )

learning the game is easy…. once you break free of the prison your mind has made for itself^^.

if anyone wants to learn more, this is quite literally one of the best pieces of gaming literature on the internet & will help virtually anyone who plays competitive games. (kinda long but absolutely worth reading)

Excellent read and great mindset for winning. Thanks.

if u play with me ! u will get a tsip

I hope this is reportable. When I see someone offer means for voice communication. That’s the whole god kitten point of soloque that there is no advantage of voice chat and EVERYBODY is on a 100% level playground.

This is a clear example of a losing mindset.

Gain every advantage allowed in the rules.

Don’t place extra limitations on winning because YOU think it’s unfair.

It’s ANET that decides what you can and can’t do, and as long as they don’t ban or block VOIP, then you’re at a disadvantage by NOT using it.

… Don´t rely on your team. If possible make sure you can carry your team if its just kitten s all over.

It’s impossible to carry a bad team by yourself. You can only be one place at a time, and this is conquest mode. Points have to be held. You may be able to get a lot of kill pts by yourself, but you cannot assure the win with that kind of play.

This!
I’ve played several matches where people don’t care to even write in team chat.. Or where they just fight all over the place like headless chickens and are nowhere near any of the capture points.

Ranking based on wins/losses doesn’t seem fair tbh.

Not fair? Would you rather ranking based on points so you can hotjoin your way into tournaments aswell?
Bad teams are perfectly carriable if you are good enough.
Just tell them you are pushing far alone. I usually 1v2 at far and get a hand at mid while they respawn.
