Guild Wars 2

Does ANet realise that they are killing their own playerbase by not having a soloq? It’s even worse with leagues and people are quitting the game because of this.

Current playerbase wont be able to support it.

I do understand people would probably come back to the game if a soloQ actually made it into the game.
However.

The queue-times in diamond – legend are horrible as they are atm. (Up to 10-15 minutes). With the introduction of soloQing the que-times would increase even further and eventually result in a diminishing playerbase.

I have requested this in my weekly reports numerous times over the year, I have not heard anything back.

They are horrible, because more players get often matched against premades which slows down the division progression. If we had pure soloQ, players would’ve already spread across all divisions as it should be.

With the introduction of soloQ, far more soloQers would be in diamond…

The answer is that people could exploit, like get 2 ele in team, and they won.. . or druid and ele is good choice to, but eles are now very over powered, with good dps builds you can’t do much, especially when they are together, you can 4vs2 them and they make such a time that you will loose 100-150 points… if in season 2 ele and druid will not have a nerf, serious nerf I leave the pvp for good..hope to find another game..I was playing wvw, now pvp, and now I want to leave

Not enough players. I think league tags were a serious step in the right direction but ultimately a band aid on a broken bone. After all, who wants to advertise themselves as tagless sub-ambers who have never even touched PvP?

To really get people playing PvP there needs to be as follows:

1.Better balancing. Elite specs and revenant are new so naturally metrics aren’t in yet for properly balancing these. Well, by now they are but they’re committed to a January patch since they’ll have more information for fine tuning then.

2.Nodes are too small relative to the size of AoE fields such as chaos storm, DH traps, reaper fields, engineer and ele static fields, etc.

3.Passives that play the game for you. Skill should be the deciding factor in matches and lack of skill punished.

4.More gamemodes. Problem with stronghold is its NPCs. Instead a mode like stronghold but with channeling at the fort to win. Since channeling gives you the win the need for defense is obvious.

5.Speaking of channeling…yeah, make node turning more active.

6.Increased cooldowns and shorter CC durations across the board and rebalance stability accordingly. Also add a resolve mechanic.

lol, not enough people play? guess what, it will be even less people playing if this goes on

There was once a solo Q but solo players queued for team Q because queue times iirc plus solo Q tended to be full of complete noob players who had no business playing a ranked match. This was before you had to be at least rank 20 to queue ranked.

I had a few conspiracy theories about why it hasn’t returned. My biggest was it would never funnel people to team play which is the end game in a sense.

cuz we gotta feed the esport boiz How else will tryhard ratsquads aspiring to reach esports status do that if they can’t practise smacking their head on a keyboard for that perfect bunker mesmer rotation

No solo queues , not enough players , dead game.

Solo queue was fine before they removed it.

The problem was team queue, queue times were 20-40 minutes if you were in the top 200 or so and you fought the same teams 3 times in a row.

So let’s make sure majority of players (which ARE solo) quit game for the sake of few premades? Great idea.

because queue times matter far more than balance or fair matchmaking
