What’s the reason to hate spirit watch?

The win would be too easy. A bearbow ranger could be in the top 100 if this was possible.

While this isn’t the best way to avoid 4v5s (functional ready buttons and sound alerts at the start of match to make sure people are present, and actual punishments for trolls/leavers are better) I could deal with something like this suggestion – no MMR change, but winner-level coin/rank rewards. Basically like autobalance volunteers in hotjoin.

The biggest issue is the MMR system. Pushing new players to the top of the ladder in 10 games played.

Hell on this new account i was playing with and vs Kensuda, Hiba, Caed and some other former top 10 players during my first 3 games allready.

^ The exact thing an MMR system should prefent.

How about they allow someone else to join for the person that quit the game? And the one that quit the game gets 15min “not able to play arena games” timer.

Thats about what other games did, and it was just way better than the situation is right now in gw2.

But then, other games didnt add stupid maps like skyhammer on a permanent basis to competitive arenas either… so I guess, nothing will change, gw2 spvp will slowly die.

if you never played you start at about rank 300 so playing vs them is not the problem.

MMR is also not bad its bad because so less ppl play.

We need these kittenty maps removed. I rather play teamqueue alone than soloqueue

I would even say delete that godkitten ed leaderboard and bring it back in a better form.

Put an accept clicky when match pops, if you fail to accept it will count as a loss and the rest of the group is requeued.

Dude solo que isn’t that bad right now.

Nothing wrong with maps like skyhammer in fact in wvw theres a map called eotm and its just like skyhammer where you can knock and fear people off the map and they die instantly….

People LOVE that map.

Only thing I agree with, with solo que is that the game shouldn’t start if not all players are in the game at the start of the game, it should cancel out. Also I think you shouldn’t be able to switch professions either.

Now whats in trouble for pvp is hotjoins. Theres no more 8v8. Those games are truly xv5 80% of the time because people stack the winning team and those that are new to pvp don’t know any better and get discouraged to continue playing pvp because they are on losing streaks since people are all stacking the team with the good players.

So if newplayers are losing matches in hotjoins because of bad matchups, that leaves them with solo que and I say give those newplayers a break in solo que.

If a newplayer asked me about wanting to pvp I would tell them stay away from hotjoins and go right into solo que, because they wont know any better and be farmed by all those good players stacking same team in hotjoin.

If you asked me about hotjoin, I liked it more back in September 2013 and there was definitely more active servers with active people playing and not spectating back then as well. The games were mostly 8v8 as well. I love the Raid of Capricorn map as well. Also I liked the old pvp rank system as in getting points on how well you did and not solely on just winning the game. Winning the game and getting set amount of points just urges all the people that know whats going on to stack the winning team all the time and never face each other which isn’t fun at all.

skyhammer is the biggest kitten in the game (afterwards followed by spiritwatch). Let them rot in hot join.

I seriously know NO player who likes that map and doesn’t want it removed.

And I agree… I want the old rank system back. But not going to happen. Anet will continue to kitten us in our butts

EotM is to WvW as hotjoin is to PvP.
