Please come out with new settings and rules for PvP. We are tired of this 4v5 crap. I know you tried “forcing” people into playing a Tournament but it still doesn’t work that well. People can just log off game leaving teams to a 4v5 (or less) disadvantage. Please come out with a NEW system in PvP. 5 games with a 4v5 disadvantage (my team… really now?)
Love,
The PvPers.
P.S.
Would be awesome if you could add Gems again as a Reward for Paid Tournaments!
Bug Report:
I played a couple Paid Tournament PvP games in the past and only got my Golden Chest as a reward. Where are my Qualifying points?
5 games? really? .. After game two you didn’t think of grouping up with anyone?
Guild leader of ________?
Find people to que with.. shout in mapchat que once and group up with people you get qued with.
I’ve gone 2-3 games with 4v5 soloqueing recently, I formed a group and continued on my merry way.
Yes it’s frustrating, but the keys to solving your problem are in your hands at this very time.
To be fair, I also find it annoying if THEY only have 4.
Basically a waste of a game. Sure it’s better to win than lose, but most people just want to PLAY. None of the rewards are that compelling that I’d rather roflstomp than have a proper, close game.
I would like to see something to help out 4v5 (or really n vs n+1 in hotjoin) Either quicker spawns for the team with less or longer spawns for the team with more. Don’t want to mess with the actual gameplay, just something to help out and keep morale up.
they should impose a penalty,if u submit ur name for a tournament but log out or afk whilst tournament is in progress,then they should be barred from tournament for 24hrs etc.not a severe punishment,but still harsh enuff to serve as a deterrent
I saw a team win all three rounds 4v5 a few days back, it was pretty impressive.
But yes, it’s a problem. I’m not surprised at all that it happened five times in a row. I’m in several PvP guilds and usually have about 15 contacts on any given primetime, and it’s still hard to form a team sometimes. It would be nice if you didn’t absolutely have to form a 5-man just to be able to play 5v5.
Seriously, I don’t play anymore because of things like this. The system just doesn’t work. The reason I’m still checking out the forums is because I see the potential of the game, if there would be good pvp infrastructure. But I guess I should just be taking a half year break or so with the speed things are progressing…
So I started to queue solo to frees tonight again.
Game #1: us 4 (randoms) vs. they 5 (premade, same guild)
Game #2: us 5 (randoms) vs. they 5 (premade, same guild)
Game #3: us 4 (randoms) vs. they 5 (premade, judging from class setup and teamplay)
Game #4: us 4 (randoms) vs. they 5 (random or premade, cant tell, it was a close game we lost 474vs500, they were either trolling us or really bad).
And you have to wait 5m-10m for each of those fails in a queue.
Please, HELP! I need a hug We need some proper queue system right NOW!
Same here, but yestarday i was forced to play 3 vs 5. No point to play at all. sPvP just died bout half year past relase. It’s so sad. And this matchmaking. I mostly play with my freinds, but sometimes i want to just join and play, aaaaand that was a mistake, 5 guardians team.
In GW1 this pvp system was just prefect, ofc it took some time to balance skills and other things, but c’mon. I bought this game only for pvp couse i thought it would be just good old Team/Random arenas(and ofc GvG) with new content and even more fun to play. What we got u all see. I’m not fan of pve WvW, and after 6 monts i’m so disapointed. I hope and wish to us all A.Net will look at this and improve spvp to be at least as good as was in GW1.
matchmaking is making teams from players, then match them with other teams for tournament… you cant change team when it is already matched in tournament just because one player is ignoring invite…
It’s not possible to stop people leaving games, but it is possible to alleviate the problem.
How do other games approach this? Reports, matching leavers with other leavers in future games, replacing leavers with bots, making players leaving stats visible to other players, replacing leavers with new players.
I hope Arenanet try make some progress in this area.

Sorry but what you were doing were free tournaments, not paids. You don’t get gold chests from paids. You also can’t join paids without a group.
Also, yes the 4v5 issue for free tournaments really does suck, but there’s no way around it if you just solo queue. You can add more of a penalty for leaving (more than just you can’t do anything else if you leave), but the issue will always be there unless you make your own group full of people that won’t leave. If you have trouble finding people, then you might want to guest to a different server, or join hotjoins and ask if people want to do tournaments.
Cause I ain’t perfect, I never said I was.
But now they’re hating cause a brotha finally got some buzz

Why? Tournaments are meant for groups. If you group with someone who leaves how is that ANets fault?

Other games don’t have those issues, why? Because in other games if someone quits, they get a 30+ min debuff and then it automatically pops another person in there. I’m guessing anet doesn’t have the ability to do that with their system just like they can’t do a bunch of other things people are asking for.
Also – solo/casual players have limited play time. Spamming dead mists chat for 4 others takes time, then one of them will need to leave, then you spam again, then another leaves, then you wait for queue.
Every other mmo pvp game offers instant solo queue experience with equal teams, quitter debuff, and reward to make winning more valuable than farming kills. ANet just can’t seem to figure this out.
For ftournies, I don’t understand why they lock the queue like they do. First, there should be an ability to report any afkers. Second, it should automatically insert another solo queuer into the match to avoid any of the 4v5 scenerios. Since it is more casual than serious ptournies, if you disconnect or log out to switch characters, it should kick you from group as well, and insert another player. Still a 5v5. Of course you’ll have people complain about losing their team spot and it not being fair because their internet failed, but that is life. At least it would still be a 5v5!!!! >_<
Or a system to detect a valid dc, to reserve your spot if your already in a party….idk.
Oh and like some have noted, not every server is like Anvil Rock for spvp when it comes to shout and lfgs.
We need some proper queue system right NOW!
