Guild Wars 2

So many ppl are purposely dcing, afking on purpose and even stating why they were doing it bec “To stop the trolls from picking anything else but Colliseum”.

out of the last 5 non-coliseum matches I had, 4 out 5 had an afk, dc’er. Can we please increase Dishonor to 30min to 1 hour so ppl won’t do this on purpose.

or just make unranked auto pick Colliseum..thx.

I’ll be honest. Dishonor isn’t really a good deterrent to prevent such behavior. That would just give them 30 minutes to an hour to play another game mode before going back and doing it all over again.

It would be better if all of the maps had some kind of achievement thing going for them so no one would be tempted to AFK or disconnect just because the map they wanted doesn’t get picked.

Ill give you the most honest answer,

PvP isnt fun anymore, the constant spam of everyone skills. It kind of blurs together and it is so obvious when someone isnt using a meta build.

When you see the DPS ele/ sword thief/ pistol-pistol engy/ etc etc these players/ builds become targets in a game.

So now you have people only playing PvP for AP points, easy titles, and in my case PvP potions for dailies.

Or in my case completely vacate PvP for good, which sucks because I was working on dungeon tracks before I called it quits.

PvP has become THAT frustrating to set foot in.

Pretty good sign that ANET is incentivizing PvP in all the wrong ways

Man let me tell about these things called Daily Lobbies. They are the sizzness. For real man. All of the advancement with very very little amounts of the autism of normal queues. Go there to get your dailies done.

If you want to legitimately kill players. Sorry to say you only real out looks are WvW roaming or matches in the guild arenas.

Anet’s fault really. They should’ve given coliseum (and capricorn) their own queues, that way people queue for them if they want to play those new maps. I don’t get why Anet wanted so badly to make people hate each other & cause issues.

Same thing with mixing pre-made with soloq’ers. I was on a team full of soloq players and got wiped by a full, 5 player pre-made. It’s all very counter productive to create a system that gets gamers to hate each other, and often log frustrated.

Screenshot or it didn’t happen.

4-man party +1 PUG can be matched against full PUG team.
5-man party can be matched against as little as 2-man party +3 PUGs.

But, as bad as it is to mix soloQ and teamQ, you’ll never see 5-man vs full PUG. If you do, submit a bug report, cos it’s unintended.

Though I understand where you come from, map-specific achievements doesn’t work in hotjoin. Achievement hunters will not be stopped by daily lobbies, and they will afk if map choice is not in their favor.

What kdaddy said is a history process leading up to this mess. Many of those afking players are more achievement hunters than long-lasting pvpers, and with this frequency it is safe to say that you can’t simply replenish pvp players with achievements (something ANet need to understand). Diminishing population is not something that can be changed easily unless those in power stop covering their eyes and look at root of problems.

He was responding to a player lamenting that he had wanted to make more progress on reward tracks but decided to quit pvping. Daily lobbies is actually a good recommendation for that player.

How about only offering beta maps in unranked.
