I find that a lot of the time when I’m in a PvP match, the team I’m on is doing very poorly. Meanwhile the other team is doing very well, just capping things left and right. Is there a method to switch over to that team, so that I can also be on the team that is doing well, because being on the team that is doing poorly is just not fun.

None likes to loose but leaving your team and go with the others so you can win the match, is just wrong in my opinion. I know you can not do it in ranked arenas I don’t know about the rest

It would just make things a lot easier. I mean, the whole point is to get at least three kills, or one capture, or one defense, or if at all possible one win with the right class, and all of that is harder when you end up on a losing team. It would all be far simpler if you could just switch over to the team that has their act together, right?

These things are not the point. The point is to hold capture points from the enemy team, until one team reaches 500 points. I understand where you’re coming from Ohoni, but your goals conflict with the all-encompassing goals of the game mode, simply because the PvP dailies are the quickest to complete. This is not your fault.

Please, devs, rework the dailies. They’re supposed to be completed as a result of playing; they shouldn’t take the place of conquest game mechanics. At present, there are two distinct factions in PvP – those there to complete the dailies (whether or not it means playing PvP as intended) and those there to play PvP (whether or not they complete the dailies). It’s beyond frustrating.

Well pvp is so much more than just the dailies. Anyway, I guess you can complete most of them anyway regardless if you win or loose?

I haven’t seen that one come up, but if it does, it’s not a very common one.

If you’re on a really bad team then even the other ones can be tricky. Like I was on one game where any time I would try to get even one capture the enemy team would swarm making it impossible. It would really be a whole lot easier to clear these if you could just get like nine players on one team.

It’s not really fitting in the spirit of PvP (even though the spirit of PvP means killing your opponent in as many colourful ways as possible) to dump your team the moment you won’t win. I hate to lose, sure, but… well, what happens, happens.

Regardless, the PvP dailies could really do with a remake. My biggest beef are the “Win with Class X” ones. I really don’t want to have to relog to an alt I am absolutely horrible with to finish the one PvP daily that rewards the most track progress.

No one hears you.

Are you seriously serious about this?
The point of pvp is not the dailies… The point is to kill your opponents and help your team reach 500 points before the other team does.

Pssht, who wants to do any of that mess? If that’s all there was to it then I could go back to forgetting that sPvP exists. No, the point of PvP at the moment is to clear the dailies, because currently the PvE options are too limited to conveniently do so. I usually find that I need to drop into PvP for at least one or two of them, but that’s about it. If and when they broaden/expand the daily options I suppose sPvP could go back to being for people who actually have any interest in PvP activities, but we aren’t there yet.

Oh, me for example. You love your Game Mode (pvE)? Well, i love MINE (pvP). Just because you don’t like it, doenst mean anyone else doesn’t.. /facepalm.

The point of pvp might be to YOU to clear your dailies. But its for ppl who don’t want to go to pve/wvw/or enjoy all modes. Ever thought of that?

I made this really great graphic the last time you posted your QQ thread.
I’ll upload it again for you.

Just join a daily-farm server an be gone.
You will be happy, pvp’er will be happy.

And btw, to answer your threadquestion: You can only switch your team in “Practice”. Just go back to spectate and wait till the poor souls get autobalanced so you can grab their place…

I tried that, it put me into spectator mode or something and I couldn’t figure out how to capture any points that way.

That seems way too complicated. If I click the middle button I can go AFK for a bit and then it just puts me into a match.

I don’t know why you have to be rude, we’re all just trying to get this PvP stuff out of the way as quickly as possible so we can get back to playing the game and having fun! You have to eat your vegetables before you get your desert.
