Guild Wars 2

I mean shouldn’t it be an easy thing to just stop from happening? If 1 person doesn’t show up just stop the match…

I still get a fair amount of 4v5s. Especially if the que has taken long.

What if they D/C while loading into the map after already passing the ready check? Fewer 4v5s, but could still happen.

Then do as he suggested. Stop the match. When it becomes 4v5 stop the match.

One side just gives up at a certain amount of points,a map or a 4v5, just sitting down at spawn,it’s pretty normal now there is no point in trying to outperform yourself,I prefer my close matches but this happens more often now.

Unless someone magically fixes the Internet to never disconnect, 4 v 5s will happen. Until then, bad wiring, low quality connections, random ISP issues and angry siblings unplugging modems will ruin your day, even if you never directly encounter them. =P

I’ve had 4v5 match start this way. Why a match wouldn’t be locked out from starting until it’s 5v5 is the better question.

4v5 will happen obviously but they can lower the chances of it occurring. During the waiting period if someone isn’t present why the hell would the match proceed? I’ve posted this before csgo handles this by banning the player who didn’t show up during the waiting period and the other players are free to leave without penalty. PvP will always be a side project in this game the Devs just don’t take it seriously.

If someone is not back in a match for X amount of time it should be canceled. Even if I get a loss I would rather have that than wait through a worthless match.

REVELATION ON HOW TO STOP 4v5:
If a player DCs, just que in a new player to join the match.

Pretty simple fix
Not sure why this hasn’t been added yet

arena doesnt care. if they did, this woulda been fixed a long time ago.

cuz seriously, this has been going for a long time and a fix is super easy.

how would you like to be put into a 4v5 where your team is already loosing?

Usually a player disconnects while loading the map and can’t get back in time for the start of the match. The system should also check that all 10 players have loaded the map successfully before the match starts. If all 10 are not in the map, cancel match and return everyone to HotM.

I mean there is plenty of time for anet to check if a player has loaded in or not in that minute time span before game. Seems so easy to implement and something that would save 9 people time.

Except you don’t know that these people had internet problems. I have to be honest and say I have not had an internet problem in 2 years playing this game that would cause me to go ld loading into a match and make me miss the entire match. I am not saying it couldn’t happen but my feeling is a lot of these are people that just decided at the last second you know what I don’t have the 10-15 minutes to finish the match or something just came up so let me close the client or hard reboot the machine and I’m gone. Imo, the answer is still harsher penalties for disconnects and not coming back in a minute or two if they refuse to implement auto end of the match. There is no way though that all of these are 10+ minute internet glitches. 4v5 happen all the time where you never see the guy from start to finish.

First of all:
Some teams are WINNING and then someone DCs, putting them in to a 4v5

Second of all:
Most 4v5s happen before the match even begins

Third of all:
The guy who is pulled in from que to join the 4v5 can be treated in this way →

• If he is pulled in before the match even begins, treat it as a normal match
• If he is pulled in while a team is already losing, the lose doesn’t count towards him
• If he is pulled in while a team is already winning, he still gets win credit

Not a hard patch to implement and I’m sure everyone would appreciate this

oh yeah, i would love being pulled into an already loosing match with everyone demoralised from 4v5 /s

There are still a good number of 4v5s when skyhammer comes up.

This is happening more often for me now, it’s frustrating just don’t let the match start until it’s full 5v5, if they leave mid match I hope the dishonor is harsh.
