Hotjoin needs its easy randomize button back.

Why? lets start out why I like Hotjoin.

  • Hotjoin lets me enter and leave whenever I want. If I have to leave in the middle of a match, I won’t get penalized for it.
  • If I get frustrated, I don’t have to stay in that toxic match. I can simply go somewhere else.
  • Spectator mode. I don’t have to stay in the entire match. I can go to spectator mode and grab a bite to eat. Watch other people play.
  • If I leave, someone else can take that spot.
  • Instant matches. No need for me to go straight to queue.

Unranked Arena is far superior already in gameplay + rewards, but they do not offer the casual play on what Hotjoin has. I would still play Unranked Arena, but when I don’t have time, I can simply jump into Hotjoin. I don’t see Hotjoin as a place to practice. I see it as a place for casual pvp.

Simply, ANet needs to bring back the randomized matches to hotjoin. This will allow me to find new players to play with instead of the same 10 people very easily. I would still play Unranked/Ranked because rewards are better.

5x Warrior, 5x Ranger, 4x Elementalist, 4x Engineer,
4x Necromancer, 3x Mesmer, 4x Guardian, 4x Thief, 4 Revenant

Just get rid of hot-join and keep custom arenas with passwords instead so we can get a more accurate match up with unranked or ranked ques.

Those ques need people anyways to have better accuracy I guess.

Maybe make the PvP rewards give custom arena kits and extenders so people can still do custom games but mostly do unranked/normal and eventually ranked.

do not remove hotjoin.
please do not listen to selfish players request such as Amir.1570
hotjoin needs to be around.

although i have been doing ranked arena since the 2 dec 2014 update, i will still visit hotjoin if i do not feel like playing ranked arena.

hotjoin is my roots after all.

i think they will not bring the surfing play now button back since i think they do not want players to change rooms that easily.

no choice, just have to use the game browser to find rooms manually.
