Guild Wars 2

That stronghold poll caught the attention of 1000+ people, so lets see what everyone thinks about being stuck inside the boring and stale map that is the hearts of the mist, while queueing for pvp.

problem with this is, that you cant accept que pop while in loading screen. thats why they made it like its now. some people with ssd may not get a problem but i know people who load really long and they would constantly missing que pops.

so i understand the decision to not let us go into other maps. instead of this i would wish for a duel option in the heart of the mist (for example where the underwater combat was before)

Just let players queue from anywhere

Even if there was a missed queue pop due to a loading screen, the minor delay would be offset by being occupied by the outside world. Players can farm, do events or explore the map and many other things while waiting in queue. Map exploration for a legendary would be less tedious.

It is really all about what you value, a minor delay to your queue, or waiting in the HoTm literally burning productivity by doing nothing.

If you know you have a bad PC and anticipate your queue popping while loading, then load in first, then queue. Done.

It’s like anet thinks we’re incapable of getting around a problem with such a simple solution. Thinking hurts.

That is exactly true. I used to pvp on my macbook pro before I purchased my pc. People with not-so-great hardware already anticipate these things.

There isn’t a single solution for this ever! For example, it would be possible to have MAP CHANGES as a trigger for being removed from queue, rather than being STUCK IN THE MISTS FOREVER. It is truly terrible that there isn’t a solution in sight!

want this so much….

Probably find more people queuing if they brought this in- anything has to be better than standing around doing nothing.

There most definitely would be more people queuing +1

It would be extremely easy for them to make a “match ready” pop-up prompt that overrides cutscenes. Map loading screens I’m not so sure they can do, but I suspect yes because you can get other kinds of pop-ups while in loading screens (mostly error messages like server disconnects). Alternatively, I’d even consider it acceptable to have map changes kick you from the queue.

Seems like somewhat of a pointless poll to me, the only people who would vote against this would be people who are trolling.

really simple fix. if you leave the map you queued on you are taken out of queue. Problem solved.
they basically got lazy and did the simplest thing instead of the right thing by their players.

I voted yes, but I’d actually prefer if they just gave us more stuff do to in the Mists instead. Crafting stations, Mystic forge, that sort of thing.

A couple 1v1 arenas like the upper level of Crown Pavilion would be neat too.

Yes Ofc. Just add some restrictions like: when you use tp/portal etc. or enter story mode, you automatically leave the queue

1. Implement build templates
2. Hide enemy team professions until match starts
3. Reduce pre-match time
4. Increase time to accept queue by 10-20 seconds.

Queue from anywhere should just return… if you miss queue from loading screens, sorry but that’s your own fault, don’t freaking zone to other zones if a queue could pop any moment! A lot of peeps want to do wvw or farming (both of which don’t necessarily require much zoning), instead of just standing around in lobby doing nothing.

Just cause a couple are afraid of missing a queue pop, all the others shouldn’t end up shafted.

I really hope anet sees this poll and the stronghold poll, two issues that would make the game a lot better. It’s sad that is an issue that could have been prevented.

Same or at least the chance to join custom arenas or practice, waiting for a unranked/ranked queue.

I would like those things in PvP but crafting will keep you occupied for 30 seconds maybe?

I have no idea why they removed the mystic forge, but gave us a bank, trading post and laurel merchant. We need the REAL reasons behind every mindless change anet please and thank you.

I’d really love this, I can’t craft while I wait, I can’t map complete while I wait. My options are dress up in wardrobe or look at the trading post. The ability to queue for PvP outside of the mist would honestly improve my quality of gameplay.

Of course it would, but ANET doesn’t like to admit to their mistakes and revert changes. Probably too embarrassing?

Let ppl queue from anywhere. But more importantly: if you leave a matchup, get transported to your last pve designation, and not stupid HoTM like now. When i’m up for some pvp, and my guild calls me for pve event, i wanna be instantly transported to la, divinity reach, wherever i was before pvp. It used to be like this, now it is no longer, and this thing doesn’t affect the load screen/click yes for queue time pop problem.

Secondly, i Agree on the ‘queue from anywhere’. Isn’t there a way anyway to make the queue pop over the load screen? F11 (option) work while in load screen, so there is some code that allows for it.
