Guild Wars 2

So team Q is giving my friends and I 20+ min Q.
We waited 22 mins then friend dced and kicked us from roster. Sat in Q for another 20 mins to decide hey solo Q time. Just 2 face 5 people synced.
I can’t Tpvp anymore lol

What is going on?

Lol these guys were honest and admitted it. Here we go again tho
You mad at me aren’t you?

Team Arena will now become like the old “Paid Tourneys” only popping regularly during prime hours :P

1st its obvious that u cant farm solo q’ers anymore or ppl that needed 1 or 2 more dudes to complete their team
2nd who cares about team q , ppl loved RA and now we get something similar its awsome

aaand sync q is so random the other day i tried with 2 friends and out of 5 matches in only 1 we got to be in the same team together.

because people love Trollo Que

This was always my worry, I never thought the game’s pvp population was big enough for two queues. I wonder if that is why arena net made it join-able from outside the mists?

Not seen one lfg shout for a team tonight in map chat either

So, it will take a little time for Solo/Team Arena to normalize. Adding Solo Arena to the game is a huge step, and it no doubt has made a ripple in GW2 PvP history.

Just give it a little time. Solo Arena has only been out for 2 days.

So doomsday!

Yeh. People will get bored of it and team queue will flourish again. Then a happy medium will be reached. That is my prediction.

Of course he is mad he knows he is full of you know what.

seriously make it solo/duo que like league of legends. its sometimes fun to team up with a guy you met in a round and play together or bring your best friend along. It works perfectly find in league…and I highly doubt anyone wants to attempt to duo que in TEAM que and go against 5 premades.

I agree, but now the game isn’t new and shiny, i don’t think much people will queue for 15 or 20 minutes just to play.

Ya the Qs are terrible. I heard oh its the 1st day it will all settle in. Now its only been out 2 days. What do we do when a week passes?

it is also not that much fun if you only play with 2 ppl, team queue is kinda kittened up
duo q would be nice

Who would have guessed?

A lot of people wanted solo queue because they were sure they were awesome but premades were holding them down. Now they’re finding out otherwise, but it’s too late and we’re stuck with it. BTW I actually think it’s a good thing to have now that we have leaderboards, but the drawbacks still stand.

It should hopefully get better when the shine wears off and the regular teams go back to team queue. I’m not sure what the lack of pugs in that queue will do to mistleague, since as far as I know people mainly go there to ensure they get stronger competition, and that will be less of a problem now.

Well, it’s no secret that this Game doesn’t support teams. No wonder why ppl prefer fun in soloQ instead of hard working effort in Team-Arena. I mean the rewards are nearly the same. But it’s August, we know since release that the reward system in this game is a terrible joke for the competitive side.

I already heard stories about “giving more time to this wonderful format” in terms of Codex Arena @gw1.
Format was great indeed, but nobody cared to play it unless it was a Z-Quest* for this arena.
End result was, Codex was empty since a week after launch.

*zaishen quest used to be an additional reward system, changing daily from arena to arena.

I’ll probably stick to queuing in tPvP even if I’m solo, simply because I would rather play with and against premades on proper maps than to suffer through the hell that is skyhammer.

2nd who cares about team q , ppl loved RA and now we get something similar its awsome

Pretty sure only people syncing liked random arenas.

Team queue was a joke all people did was farm solo joins with a team.

And before anyone says otherwise I got 300 rating at 390 right now 90% solo with a few team games using a rag tag WvW bunch all we did was beat solo joins you dont even face real teams.

I hardly ever team pvp and still got decent rating because all team pvp was about was farming solo players, at least im honest about it.

Solo queue was needed now the top team queue people will be there because they earned it and did not just farm solo player pugs

Anyone who is good at PvP. You are ignorant to think such.

Yes i am mad at you because i just found myself into skyhammer !

why should they stop solo queing ?

rewards are pretty much the same, you have no obligation toward your “eventual” team, there’s no drama between your guild members regarding who should play and who not ( it’s always hard to say to a friend of yours that you don’t want to play with him because “kitten is better than you”), no need to plan your strategy, no stress regarding strategy building etc. etc.

During paid tournament times, solos were actually “forced” to have a group before going in tourneis, otherwise they would only get farmed by premades: now it’s not the case, you can have fun anytime.

This game doesn’t support teams at all.

I can’t play currently ( and won’t be able for a while) but i would ONLY do solo queue if i had the time, because currently you’re absolutely NOT pushed toward playing as a team instead of going solo, and i have absolutely no interest in climbing team leaderboard, even if i am in it and should feel the “desire” to face better opponents.

Now that we have a solo queue, the issue about rewards will be clearer than ever

thats it, one more team with lv10 and enemy team all 35+ i quit pvp.

Sry lighter hopefully it gets fixed. ESO comes out in april check it out.

the truth is that the community doesn’t support teams. remember who was shouting for soloQ?

tbh all this PvP atm is * bad.

Devs 90% of work focus on pve.

we got leeder after 6 months
we got soloq after 1 year
leeders are broken , guys who is not playing for month can come win 1-2 games and be top1
lags
dcs
20-30s loading screen on maps
no reward system

Of course he can. The only thing missing is hiding leaderboard until people got enough games for it to stabilize. Just leave it time!

i am talking right now about team leeder , lets say guy top100 is not playing for 1 mont , ofc he wont lose to much spots becouse leeder is bs , the he come back win 1 game and he is in top10 and even dont need to win some good top teams

Ladder. Not leeder for kittens sake.
Ladder is worth nothing – just implement AT/MAT’s and nobody will even bother looking at the ladder position anymore.

ANet seems to be using a ELO system for ranking people. In a typical setting, a player that got only 10 wins under his belt and no losses CANNOT have a high ELO. There’s a cap to how much points per game one can win. There’s not even need of a decay here. Once the number of games in the system reaches a stable point, the top 10 players will be sporting ELO scores far above what the early tops could achieve anyway.

The mistake you make here is that a top player that stops playing and so doesn’t lose cannot be overtaken on the leaderboard by the other players.

The Leaderboards are always going to be messed up. Team Leaderboards are a joke with 100% win rates. And Solo Leaderboards is even worse when teams sync and its made much easier. And thats a big reason Why Qs are so broken. The game is messed up and alot of people left because of it.

But somehow numbers have been reported by the devs as rising. I still don’t see it :/

Not to mention tons of leavers/afkers. In 14 matches I played, my team had at least one leaver/afker in 8 matches. You can imagine my leaderboard rank now(1%) and how it actually shows player’s skill, or something. And I bet I’m not the only one that has a problem with so many leavers/afkers.

make a duo party on solo queu, like LOL

The 11 min Q in team arena went to 22 mins when solo arena came out. Another Q which I would like but would make everything split again.

I think solo Q is converting a lot of hot join heroes, and motivating them to make the leap into tournies. Which will be great to finally get the casual population linked up with the true format of spvp. A game needs a clear linear form of progression for ppl to gauge themselves instead of:

hot join > try tournies and get stomped by premades > go back to hot join > quit
or
played since free tournie era > play tournies till burn out > quit

Hopefully, in time this will result in more ppl making the final leap into full team tournies.

I talk about rewards etc. The community has nothing to do with it. SoloQ is a Basic-Feature (just a side-note for you)

Solo Q is 24 minutes now and its been 5 days !!! oh no

I bet it has a lot more to do with balance than the que systems. I am shocked it’s that short I don’t know for my self cause I won’t let myself tpvp till they fix this trash.

@thesilent
What balance? Look at these 4 pictures please about why Matchmaking Sucks
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Anet-why-does-Tpvp-matchmaking-suck-pics/first#post2605772

Soloqueue is the 2-weeks news, so it’s normal that teamqueue has more difficulty now.

The important thing is to understand that manage a team, to be in a team, is not easy like play solo, so teams need to have very good pvp rewards (better and differents than soloqueue), there need to be a very good incentives to form a party for the team queue or simply people will not form new teams and old teams will disband very soon.

Krayiss take your doomsday kitten somewhere else. All you’ve done for 2 weeks is kitten On these forums about anything you can think of. It’s getting old.

Team Queues take no longer than 5 minutes for us because our rating is high, and right now bad players wanna solo queue and good players with teams wanna solo queue and team queue.

So please just stop
