Guild Wars 2

When you join an Arenamatch (it doesn’t matter if team arena or solo arena) and someone disbands the match you get stuck. Most people will close the window when they started a queue so they won’t get anynotice about the disband and wait there for several minutes.

Can you just implement a message that tells you your team got disbanded (or in solo arena even just “re-queue” the team)?

Just some quality of live…..

While they’re at it they could also stop the match window from appearing instantly after you click ‘Wait’ and instead ask you at set intervals – e.g. 2 minutes, 1 minute and then 10 seconds.

@OP I didn’t realise this also happens in solo queue. It happens a lot in team queue and I find it frustrating, but I thought that solo queue always (eventually) works.

To be fair to ANet, the reason this happens is so if 5 people join as a group, any of the 5 can cancel the queuing by leaving the group. Maybe they need to change their build or something for instance. It’s sensible that it should happen in those cases. But if 5 people all join solo, why the hell should it cancel for everyone if 1 person leaves?

Also, sometimes when I’m queued, the game automatically kicks me off the queue. I don’t know if it’s related to this (maybe everyone left my queue or something), but I don’t think it’s the case, because I’ve had it happen even when we were queued as a group. In other words, 5 of us submit as a group, wait around, then a few minutes later notice that we’re no longer queued up, and none of us had cancelled.

As a quick-fix, until you figure outwhy this happens and fix it, could you make it so the Arenas window opens automatically when you are removed from the queue for any reason?
