Will standard enemy models apply to soloQ?

If not, why?

So as they said in another thread, they wanted to see how the top players in teamQQ used it before rolling it out to the rest of the queues.

Probably all of sPvP. Would be quite illogical to only implement in Team Queue.
I’m thinking though, people really put a lot of blame on Asuran animations… I would say that the difference in reaction-ability will be minimal.

“As this functionality is intended for high-end, skilled players at the top tier of PvP, this option will work only in Team Arenas and Custom Arenas that allow Tournament Commands.”

Please include this option in SoloQ!

SoloQ is a good place to practice and get ready for TeamQ , and that is only possible if you face the same conditions as in TeamQ.

They’ve been ambiguous in the past when talking about different game modes.

I’m sure the statement means exactly what it says though. I’d want to get a straight answer first before I express my opinions on why it should be applied to soloQ.

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Please have an option to also replace finishers with the generic finisher!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

What would be the point behind limiting this to TeamQ etc.? At the very least SoloQ should get this as well.

to bring more people in teamQ like they use skyhammer in soloQ or double reward points in teamq for same reason

they would have no players in teamQ

when they introduced soloQ first the teamQ was dieing

“As this functionality is intended for high-end, skilled players at the top tier of PvP, this option will work only in Team Arenas and Custom Arenas that allow Tournament Commands.”

Is fixing the fact that Asura spell visual range and actual spell range don’t match or that mini Asura animations are hardly visible really only a privilege for Team players?
Because this is what it is: a fix for a design flaw.

They should really add it as an option in every single pvp mode, otherwise they just added another reason to just solo-join team arena.

edit: 1 word

….. otherwise they just added another reason to just solo-join team arena.

and this is no option – i would rather stop pvp or the game before i play teamQ

I’m a kitten.

Unbelievable decision to not include it in solo q. It is like they hate their player base and intend to intentionally give us half baked features. There is no reason to deny players in solo q this fix. I am baffled by this decision. Surely it is a typo?

Or they didn’t know the response that would occur from excluding it in solo queue.

Remember gang, these changes are still 3 weeks away, and as such, are still subject to change.

If we provide constructive criticism and reason that the standard models should be an option for solo queue as well, I’m sure Anet will make that available to us.

Took you long enough Anet.
I’m very happy that standard enemy models are coming. Thanks.

But i think it would also be nice to have it in soloq.

Please consider it for Solo Queues, solo queues are and SHOULD be a competitive platform for those that aren’t able to team queue at the time. If there are reasons why you aren’t doing it for solo queues like " We want to test it out first " or " We aren’t adding it to solo queues because of ladders / leagues we want to add some day " then if theres any chance of transparency let us know!

All things considered awesome blog posts so far keep it up and EU 4 ALL STARS! RAWR! =P

I’m pretty happy about this as well. But as many others I don’t see the reasoning behind restricting it to team queue and custom arenas. I mean, it does not hurt to make it available for the other game modes, does it? More options are always nice and nobody is forced to play this way.

I will never play TeamQ. SoloQ is highest i go. So if this feature patch doesn’t strike ‘hotjoin’, and ‘soloQ’, then it’s is a ‘empty patch’ for me. And that would be lame. Asura’s have been hard for me to counter. I know all warrior animations, dangerous ones, but asura’s can hide them to much. With this option i hoped to get past these issue’s, but without including it in SoloQ it’s pointless. All hardcore pvp people (who don’t play pve), have asura’s. We all know it. This is also true for soloQ. This option deserves to be enabled in SoloQ.

I also want to see this feature in Solo Queue. It is, afterall, optional, so why not?

This should definitely apply to Solo Queue, and even hotjoin. The tells being less noticeable for those with tiny Asura isn’t just a problem at top level play; it’s a problem at every level of play that noting and reacting to tells is important to good gameplay, which is coincidentally all levels of gameplay, since combat in the game is focused on reading tells from animations to know what’s going on and how you should react.

If you’re going to make this important fix to help move the game towards being e-sports compatible, do it all the way.

Agree +1

I could see this being useful for soloq but not hot join. After all:

“As this functionality is intended for high-end, skilled players at the top tier of PvP”

I think the high-end skilled players at the top tier of PvP will create custom Arenas with tournament commands enabled to practice their PvP. That or join soloq if the ranking system matches them with the right individuals. As those are used for practice I think that they should have the option. I am sure that there are some that would be disappointed that my model would be replaced but I can understand the reason for doing so.

Hot join however is in no way a competitive mode. So I see no reason to include it there.

Yeah, this is a great improvement and a long-requested feature. Just turn it on for Solo Q and we’re golden.

If standard models weren’t going to be implemented in soloq, I don’t think they would of posted the screenshot on skyhammer.

Just my 2 cents.

Sharp.

why not entire pvp , you just turn it on and have it on every arena,hot-join etc ? idiotic decision

Or if they implant a vote-map option , then team-que will have a favourable map :PPP

I love programing apex predators :P it makes ppl forget their old problems :P

Maybe they didn’t mention solo q because they are planning on removing it for the new game mode….. MIND BLOWN!!!!!!!
