Guild Wars 2

This guy just switched teams on down when that survey thing came up.
Get rid of that survey thing, it’s horrible. If my team has 3 players and the other team has 10, so what? I can leave, too if it’s a big deal.

Hotjoin isn’t really competitive, it’s just meant to have fun and fool around. The problem is Free Tournaments aren’t really that great for a competitive experience right now either, due to being stomped by teams and extremely long queue times. Hopefully the patch helps that out, but it’s possible that’s a bit further off.

Hotjoin is good only to test things or to get some honor while waiting for tournament match to start….we all know that for everything else is just a crap unskilled zergfest, let’s say hotjoin is like a 1:100 scaled down wvsw…nough said..

Hotjoin isn’t necessarily an unskilled zergfest. Especially if you avoid the zerg. You can get tons of 1v1, 1v2, 2v2, 2v3, and 1v3 fights that are a whole lot of fun. You just literally avoid your own zerg. Heck it actually wins you more games too alongside picking up tons of capping glory. I personally find I get more glory by avoiding the zerg then by joining it and having some battle over a neuted cap point.

It’s not properly competitive, but it’s not necessarily an unskilled zergfest either.

Usually if you avoid zerg you end up being alone while the 7 ppl group is fighting in the middle of nowhere, the only way i know to bring some order in hotjoin (If there are others from tpvp or with a proper brain, if not it’s just a waste of time) is literally flaming ppl in team chat not to zerg…sometimes they realize it and they start defending and capping things playing like a team and not like a bunch of crazy chickens…and sometimes they just answer you “We’re here to have fun not to cap points” At that point quitting is the only solution before getting reported for insulting ppl..

I guess we simply have different experiences. While there is always a zerg that runs about, I’ve always found one or two people on the sides.

The reason I play spvp is so I can pvp with relatively equal numbers, unlike WvW where there’s literally 10-20 players online for my server during the entire day. Because of this I want to see spvp get some changes.

As others have said, hotjoin has unfortunately become more of a practice/glory farm than a match. It’s unfortunate because hotjoins were great in the betas, back before people figured out how much glory you could get by going full glass/full zerg.

I’m hoping a better “standard” PvP mode will be introduced tomorrow.
