I know there is really no answer but this sort of thing is unfuriating. Most of the players in the match were right around 1650 MMR so right around high gold/low platinum so really you would think most people would be at least decent at making decisions. The map was Khylo and the game was about 325 to 325 or so and we had just taken middle so we had middle and home. At that point for some reason the warrior on our team decided he would go to our treb. During the roughly 35-40 seconds it took him to go from where he was to the Treb and fire a few shots we lost middle to a 3v2 rush that most likely would have been 3v3 and winnable if he had stayed where he was. The two classes we had in middle were not conducive at all for stalling a 3v2 for the time it would have taken for him to get to treb and fire enough shots to turn a 3v2. We couldn’t get any help from anywhere else because our other two teammates were fighting a 2v2 on home. This sequence easily cost us at least 75 points and the match. In a solo environment you are not going to be able to come back from that in an even match and I feel like it was a decent match skill wise on both teams. This is why conquest is so infuriating compared to straight up death match so many players can not make good conquest decisions even if they know there class and are fine mechanically fighting other people.

Agreed. I want Courtyard back but with better entry points so the winning team can’t just farm the losing team at spawn.

Maybe some new game modes like Capture The Flag would be cool too. I’m getting tired of King of The Hill with PvE gimmicks.

Some people have such a hard time of staying on around a point they already have if there is nobody to fight, so they run far or treb or whatever and sometimes that ruins the whole match for your team.

This is why I love conquest. It’s not always just about defeating other players. You have to think about your choices and strategy and try to coordinate with a team of players. I liked courtyard too, but only deathmatch would be too boring for me.

The game needs voip. Soo many things would be solved if you could just say “please dont and heres why”.
Of course there would still be some fools who dont listen to anybody, and people who blast their mic with obnoxiousness, but most would benefit.

Pre-made teams can use voip. Oh wait, I forgot, everyone is anti-social on an mmo and wants to play solo and pretend they’re on a team.

I’d be really interested to hear ArenaNet’s official stance on this.

It opens up all new ways for us to verbally abuse each other, but it also lets a lot of players help and get to know each other.

It’s also really easy to just drop a discord link into /t before the match.

Discord looks cool, I had no idea about this.
That’s the thing, people either don’t know or don’t bother. If it was just there then they can do neither.
