Guild Wars 2

Obviously a ton of people are begging for this feature. It is something that many people would not only be super happy about, but it would bring quite a few of my friends back. The question I have is are they even looking at this as something in the near future?

I’ve seen all the livestreams and watched and read every DEV interview. I have not heard even one word that would lead me to believe they are actively developing this. I’ve heard answers that were kind of dodgy leading me to believe they’ve had internal discussions and decided, like many other features, “This isn’t something that would work for our game”.

Just wondering if either a DEV or community member can give me insight as to if they are actually developing this or are at least planning to develop this.

And for the few of you that don’t want this feature, don’t start flame wars in this topic. There are large quantities of people that do want this and it would help grow the game we’re all playing.

Originally, JSharp said in the first SotG that ANET was against implementing it.
But, obviously, as discussed in SotG#2, this game needs solo queue to thrive.

Outside of the rewards how is 5 on 5 hotjoin not a solo queue..
If 8v8 didn’t exist everytime you pressed “join game” it would be a 5 on 5 solo queue…

Hot join is barely conquest, let alone a suitable solo queue. They need a solo or duo queu in tournaments where people of like skill can compete without the problem of competing against pre made setups.

Probably Q4 2014. At the rate they’re rolling out PvP updates, even that’s an optimistic estimate.

It’s already out. Go join an empty Capricorn server.

I…don’t think this is the same subject everyone else is talking about. Dueling, maybe?

Fact is, the PvP community called for things like spectator mode and custom arenas much louder than we called for random vs random matches. Oops.
