Guild Wars 2

In my opinion hotjoin should be done just like tournaments are just without ratings (also the way yo ujoin it and cant join others till its finished).

Reason for this is that i cant test new builds in hotjoin versions. If i join 10 team there is always one or more leaving (not full team) making it very unbalanced or they are dueling. At 16 teams it is always zergfest, pointless to take any value of build from there. So if i want to see how my build do i must always join tournaments.

Maybe only difference beside rating is that you can choose on what map you would like to be. Beside tournaments and hotjoins that are like tournaments there would be also custom arenas where ppl can rent server for duels or some guild aaction.

So whats your opinion ppl? Atm also those 16 ppl hotjoins are just silly anyway and have no place in current sPvP and 10 hotjoins are jsut unreliable. Or at least leave hotjoins as they are and just add unrated version of tournaments that it plays same as rated.

Apparently hot join will be a goner soon.

I think when the dev said “replace” there he was referring to the fact that custom arenas can fill the same function. Not that hot joins were being outright removed in favor of custom arenas.

Wording of the rest of the post seems to indicate that.

It’d be nice if hotjoin was just 5v5 from the beginning. 8v8 is, and will always be a zergy mess. These custom arenas can’t come fast enough, hopefully they are implemented well.

While I like tournaments I like the 8 v 8 hotjoin style too. It’s fun just getting in there and brawling sometimes. Also stuff that’s not normally optimum can be fun and effective in the big hotjoin brawls (like zerker warriors, staff eles etc)

Ok, waking my old thread ….. Custom arenas are fine, but not what i was asking for. So once more …. can we get game mod same as rated tournaments just not rated? Take LoL for example … having beside custom games, rated matches and same as rated also not rated matches….
