Guild Wars 2

Been playing PvP a lot since the Tuesday patch. Going to voice my opinion below.

- Have to sit in HoTM, Anet say this is due to people maybe being in a cutscene etc, surely just block living story access while in a queue. and with such short queue times, who even has time to queue for PvP then go, “oh i’ll just do my LS”.
I always use to work towards my 100% map complete while queuing for pvp, now I’m forced to watch people argue in mapchat. (only when people don’t hit that ready button, longest queue I had was 18 mins on Wednesday, 18 mins of mapchat in HoTM makes my eyes bleed)

-When queue pops and you are in your inventory its hard to see, many times I’ve been opening chests, and salvaging, and barely made the click in time. if it could be bought to the front of any windows you have open it would be great.

-Why have such a long countdown once you enter the map, we already went through the confirm and map vote, 1min 20 is way to long.

-Unranked seems to have just taken on everyone who would have normally done hotjoin, wording the lowest choice as practice could be to some people a game mode to very much avoid, meaning they flood the one above, meaning unranked will flood ranked.

-What was wrong with a separate queue for teams of 5v5, I’m aware your system tries to match duos with duos or trios with trios.

-It may be a good idea to lock out low level characters from ranked (just ranked), I don’t trust someone who has just created a lvl 1 character and jumps straight into a ranked game, affecting my mmr.

-TDM game type courtyard is just a joke in ranked and unranked, I’m pretty sure I’ve won more than I’ve lost there, but I never feel proud being the first team to “camp their spawn”. I’d gladly have the underwater map back over this any day.

- An afk report option would be welcome for PvP too.

It just seems that the issues with PvP was the balance of classes, not how the UI looks (although the new look is sexy) 4v5’s were a real pain before the patch, but all we needed to do was punish players massively for leaving even just one game.

Sorry to rant, but I’ve spend hours and hours in PvP since Tuesday and just had to see if anyone felt the same to my above points.
