Guild Wars 2

Gettin pretty dam tired of this waiting for 5v5 option so i can actually play the game. 8v8 is just a pathetic zerg fest with no skill required, whoever thought of this idea over at anet should be shot on sight…

Whats the point? Going with a group of people youve never met with no coordination at all going against coordinated teams of friends / guilds? Get smashed every time isnt fun.

strange , these days i win more tourney with pugs than with guildy.
maybe i am lucky. but i often find good players in solo queue, roflstomping guildteams in it.hoping it is a part of a rank-filter-selection party. don’t know. rarely i don’t win at elast 2 matches straight.
or at least you can find a guild and start 5premade.

8v8 is 100% meaningless. You lose half the games, people leave, I leave, I make a new char and join an be a complete noob etc etc. The only point of 8v8 is to see how your abilities work and relax a bit.

Go 5v5 solo queue. I’ve won tourneys with random teams and most of the time we make it to the second match. Occasionally you get crushed but at least you get to play some good 1v1s.
There is no rank and nothing to lose from going 5v5 tourney solo, only to gain.

What you can solo queue for tourney ? Awsome, I did not know that.

Well its not like hot join, i cant play as selfishly as i want to get as much glory (well i can but my team wouldnt be happy) and the 5 minute timer before each game? i end up getting half the play time as i would just hotjoining, and that playtime is valuable glory booster time.

I`m too tired this zergfest. My suggestion to this fix random arena for 5×5, add Heroes Ascent remake, maybe add new cap-point system, that give glory in each second of capture point.

Can we just get the 5on5s back? If I want to play zergfest the game I queue up for WvW. And I don’t want to play tournaments right now because I don’t feel quite comfortable with my profession.

solo queue torueny is your answer:
talk with the tourney npc, create a roster ALONE, subimit, wait, profit!!!!

then will be your skill that will make the difference. from that point you will start to blame yourself if you lose, i hope you are ready for that

I prefer 5v5’s also. I mostly solo que for tourneys but the problem is you can’t just jump right in. Inevitably, I have to wait the entire 4 minutes before each round because one or two people won’t ready up.

For that reason alone I hope they implement 5v5 non-tourneys.

I have never had this zergfest issue. If you play smart and get good you don’t need to stick with the group. It is actually possible to win 2v1’s and easily win 1v1’s. Just because you are repetively dying is not the games fault because I can assure you that there are people on the same server as you who are doing well.

Get good, start carrying, have some patience and you will start to realise that it is actually a lot of fun.

go join random tourneys and you get what you want – skilled teams that you vs.

People zerg because it’s the fastest way to get points… and the more people play the more they realize that in 8v8 there is really no reason to do anything else. Going solo is great fun… when the other team is zerging you get to back cap nodes and never see any combat (what fun! oh my!) or you run into the zerg and get either insta-ganked or have to run away with your tail between your legs.

Yes, every few games you can run around solo and find some good fights. But more often than not, in 8v8 (especially past rank 10), all you see are big balls of red roving the maps.

They simply need to make sPvP 5v5 like tourneys. Give people are reason to practice real strats and a reason other than glory to do randoms.

I’ve only ever seen zergging in all of the 5v5s I’ve played, either. I think there may have been one game out of all those I’ve played in either format where I actually saw someone playing point defense, and ironically enough I think it was an 8v8.

Arathi basin map would fix zerging quick. It’s easy to zerg cap 3 points try doing it with 5 =p. Not to mention all the maps are small enough to promote zerging.
