Guild Wars 2

Please for the love of god, put a rank limit on ranked solo queue. No ranked queues before rank 30.

Remove hotjoin, or make the rewards even smaller.

Add a casual unranked queue which you can play in solo or with a party but uses a hidden MMR.

doesn’t ranked play already use a hidden MMR? and you’re matched with ppl near your mmr anyways, if you’re getting a ton of baddies, it’s because your mmr is supposividely low.

However this is wrong. People who have never entered tournament que before start with a 100% MMR and if they lose it goes down. So basically if you have a higher than average MMR because you are a good player you are likely going to continuously get matched against players that have never entered a ranked match before. And the brand new players that start off with winning streaks likely get them because they got matched with such high players that carried them or the other team just had so many more new players.

In short players STARTING with a 100% MMR is toxic and bad. If you are going to match players based solely on MMR then I suggest a minimum number of tournament games played before you actually are matched against players based on MMR. That way new players will be matched against new players because they have absolutely no MMR.

Yes. Please. Currently Hotjoin is trying to fill these needs:

1. People trying to learn sPVP
2. People who want to try new builds
3. People who like the game mode (quick, capping-not-so-important, more fighting, can pop-in and out)

And I think that just doesn’t work, when they come together only one group at most will enjoy the match very much. An Unranked Q would be so much better for the first two groups. While Hotjoin is perfect for the third group.

And I can say it becomes really hard to get out of the 90% range with the MMR as it currently stands. I’ve gone 10 wins in a row to only get to rank ~950 and 1 loss sets me back down to 90%. It really is an MMR hell atm.

So… can we get an Unranked Q? Please? I’ll send cookies.

Replace hotjoin by unranked Q, put a barrier on soloq. Keep CA’s without rewards for the community (duels, tournies, training,etc.).

All hotjoin people can farm unranked Q then and maybe learn a thing or two.
Increase the difference between loss and win-reward so that there’s incentive to win. Increase the rewards gradually from unranked, through soloq, to teamq so that there’s incentive to do those.

Not to mention, an unranked queue would have:

-no daily limit on reward paths
-more rank points rewarded
-progress towards tournament achievement titles (champion magus, phantom, etc)
-always be on your friends team instead of being autobalanced

30 is ridiculous. I do think that ranked matches should not be a players first matches, so I’d agree with a small cap of at most 10.

That’s plenty of time to get an idea of the basics (map layout and mechanics, how a build works).

Solo queue only, or solo queuing into team queue. If I want to take a new player into team queue with me, that’s my business.

no.

8 vs 8 custom arena hosted by anet was removed because of you all solo arena players selfish demands, and now the damage caused is irreversible.

what damages?

1) not enough 5 vs 5 servers hosted by anet
in the past, there were plenty of 8 vs 8 and 5 vs 5 servers.
after much unjust, uncalled for, ridiculous requests to remove hotjoin, they caved in.
8 vs 8 hotjoin was removed.

2) not enough official 5 vs 5 servers hosted by anet, players not wanting to play in player owned custom arenas, to avoid being kicked, they started to participate in solo arena instead. what did they encounter? elitism, elitism everywhere.

enjoy your solo arena games, now with more players participating since there are not enough hotjoin servers to cater for the casual players.

just play hot join. no reason to wreck ranked play because you don’t get the rewards you want from hot join (or whatever)… smh.

you can play w/ your party in hot join too. just look at the server number, and everybody connect to it, call out the side your’re on and you’re all good. you can add game messages to your chat window add click on “<so and so> joined [server #blah]” as well.
