Guild Wars 2

That’s the two modes spvp has atm – either capricorn or ranked. Sarcasm aside i want to train my warrior in unranked, but i can’t because i constantly wind up on that map. I want to play the ranked maps, like forest, temple, foefire, khylo…but right now 90% of time unranked means capricorn.

Therefore i request that a-net change the map selection mode in unranked. When we queque for unranked let us select if we want random map selection from votes like now, or if we ourselves we want to select a map we’ll play on (then get tossed in with others who made the iron resolve they want to play this map and no other).

Since unranked is the training grounds for ranked i see this as great help in it actually achiving said purpose. Those who wanna go capricorn will get capricorn 100%, those of us who want another map will get what they want, those who prefer the old way also won’t lose. Make it happen, a-net!

While I actually like your suggestion (finishing the meta while sitting through a Nifhel I don’t want to be in is boring as hell), if you want to work on your warrior play style, it doesn’t really matter what map you’re on, because you should be focusing on warrior mechanics. Most of the ranked maps’ secondary objectives should be ignored in most games:

Nifhel, you’re better suited on focusing on points over beasts except if you full team-wiped them.
Foefire, 9.9 times out of 10, you shouldn’t be in on Lord
Temple, buffs are 11:30 (top), 8:30(top/bot), 5:30 (top), and 2:30 (top/bottom) and you should go to those spawnpoints then.
Khylo, kill enemy treb, very rarely should you be on your own treb.

Really, the issue here is that to develop the tech to select for a specific conquest map, they could probably be doing something more useful with that time.

Capricorn is about the only thing fun in pvp right now. Sure, give people choices. But don’t be surprised if your queues are long due to severe lack of players wanting to play old maps.

btw isn’t Capricorn going to rotate into regular ranked map selection next season? If so it’d probably be a good idea to practice on it.

Capricorn or any new or novel or beta map should be a third queue. So people that want to farm that, can.

The other who are done with it or want to actually improved their game for ranked Q need a place to go. (actually, that place is called X, where X is another game)

Capricorn should be it’s own queue.

It’s getting irritating clashing with people who vote anything other than it just to annoy those trying to get the achievements done (Really, what were they thinking?)
