Guild Wars 2

I just played 4 more team arenas.. 3 of them turned out to be Temple of The Silent Storm.. what a surprise.. Fix this kitten now Arenanet this is ridiculous

Today, I’ve played 6 games and ALL of them have been Temple of the Silent Storm. This random que doesn’t seem very random. I think it is broken.

PVStar.3658:

Be thankful it was temple the majority of the time instead of skyhammer.

Sky hammer does not exist in team arena….

No, but it’s in the solo queue rotation, which is what OP is talking about.

Out of the 6 maps i’m pretty sure i get temple more often than the rest. I might as well start tallying.

I just played 10 more games before calling it quits.. i got 6 games of temple of the silent storm in a row.. Then i got 1 legacy of the foe fire and then 1 khylo.. & guess what, then i got 2 more temple of the silent storm back to back.. This is some kitten kitten kitten!! Fix this Kitten Kitten NOW!! I’m seriously considering quitting Team Arena Until arenanet fixes this or at least we get a dev to reply and not be a prick and just deny the problem.. Come on Allie Murdock, you were so quick to respond.. Don’t act like you’re not reading this now..

I made a thread like this a week ago, still not much changed. Solo Q or Team Que, 60% of the matches are on Temple. I Played about ~ 150 games since the patch is out. If you ask Team Que players, you get the answer that temple is 50% instead of 25% on the rotation.

Confirmed. Temple is the most frequent map… Picture for verification.

I have to agree with all of you. I allways get to play temple, its more then 50% of team and solo matches. maybe there is something wrong in your algorithm, check this up. i mean its not rly bad because its still kind of random, but not as we want it to be

Allie Murdock.8152:

Sounds like it’s… random.

Anet mentality:
99% of the people state they have 50%+ of the time temple (with 6 maps in the pool)

1 guy states he has lots of kyhlo games.

Anet: See we have no problem, all good!

If you are now saying that when you replied only 3 people wrote about their experience then maybe you shouldn’t reply when you haven’t played the solo queue for forming an own opinion and you should know that 3 forum posters are not a good source to “know” anything.
But since then many people replied who had too many temple games (including myself) for it to call it anywhere near even…
So maybe you are now able to realize that something got messed up.

4 Necro 1 Guardian…GG…

Allie Murdock.8152:

Negative. There is clearly some sort of bias towards Temple in the map rotation.

And while you’re at it please remove Skyhammer from soloQ, from my pained memories, and from existence

def not random. i dunno the reason or logic but its mostly temple

Going to post here and say it as well.

The majority of my Solo queue matchups have been on Temple.

One would think they have statistics and test runs at the arenanet offices to prove that it is indeed random. I mean I didn’t get any Forest game yesterday, does that mean it isn’t in the rotation, or there is a bias towards all the other maps? No, it doesn’t. Have some trust guys.

Here’s my sample size of 10:
temple
temple
temple
spirit
temple
temple
khylo
niflhel
temple
temple

Lot’s of temple.
I wouldn’t mind if, after the “randomness” gets fixed, the main 3 maps got a little increase in the chance. Spirit, Skyhammer and Temple are kind of buzz kills.

ANet couldn’t even write good tooltips for most of their traits and skills. What makes you think we can trust them when it comes to math, since SoloQ is also clearly broken.

Ceraldor.3160:

99% of the people state they have 50%+ of the time temple (with 6 maps in the pool)

87% of statistics are made up on the spot.

A thread called “Why is it always temple” will attract the 1% of the players that got Temple 5 times in a row. What is there to wonder here?

Temple is the map I got the most as well.

Yes, thats why there are other posters here saying they havent played Temple as often…

However, I have played a lot of Temple the past 2 nights. Last night my team played around 11 matches or so. We played 2 Khylo, 1 Foefire, 2 Forest, 6 Temple. Night before had a similar breakdown in maps played.

Then make one thread of each maps and see which attracts the most people :P
Seriously, even if it was indeed random we could wake up tommorow and all play temple all day.But the chances of this happening are so small that you shouldnt bother.
Now in my experience having played so many games and more than 50% being in temple i would say Allie should tell the devs to take at least 1 look at the algorithm.
It might be normal and we are just unlucky but it PROBABLY isnt

anet has a track record of having many bugs they don’t even know about

Thanks Allie, appreciated.

Allie Murdock.8152:

Alright, after more people posted that they were having this same issue, I checked in with the team and they let me know that there is a bug causing Temple to pop more than other maps.

Our programmers have already found a fix for it, we just need to get it tested and it should be out soon.

Appreciate those of you that remained constructive.

Thanks for the update!

my original post (which was before your response)was deleted earlier because it said I wasn’t being constructive so I will reword it. These are the types of things that are frustrating about the way ArenaNet handles issues. We are almost always met with opposition from developers or community leaders when we call out things that are wrong. The initial response is usually something like this, but, especially with arenanet’s track record of being wrong, it should instead be ,“thank you all for your input on this I will check with a member of the development team to see if this is in fact in issue or just a product of the nature of randomness.”
I just get frustrated with the responses sometimes because they are coming from a place of “we never do wrong” or " we release when its ready", although the evidence shows that it is quite the contrary.

Having said that, thank you for looking into it and reporting back.

Tracker.6483:

ANET should have the numbers.

Hopefully they’ll check to see if Temple is obviously queued more often.

They wont, just like they can view the matchmaking system of all the matches its creating, they just don’t care.

I did 10 games today.
ALL in winter… it is NOT random

(1/4)^10 would be the change of that to happen.

Fix this!

Thank you! I’m glad you actually checked.. Now if only we could get an ETA on when the fix will be released? I’m trying to be as patient as possible and i’m indeed grateful that you guys found the bug so quick! So what i’ve gotten from this experience is Ifyou Kitten loud enough and make enough noise ANET will fix the bug.. Great learning experience on my part Thank you to everyone who posted their experience on the forums and stood up for me and made it clear to the Dev’s that it wasn’t just one guy QQ’ing because he hates the map, but an actual community having to deal with one nasty bug.. So glad we will be able to say goodbye to Temple of the Lame Storm Soon!

There are a lot of things that are not as random as they should …
For instance, fractal maps : Dredge is one of those who come the most often since last update (was OK before).
Also on swamp map : it’s like Mossman 80%/Bloomhunger 20%

I’ll bump this. This is getting out of control. Yesterday in Team Arenas, 6 or 7 games (I don’t remember exactly), all on temple. I like the map but jeez, how are we supposed to train for the ESL

EDIT : Oops, missed the second reply from Allie, sry :P

Did 4 games yesterday no temple for me :/ I like temple

dont fix this plz you will break it and we have skyhammer all day^^

I don’t like skyhammer and the beach (fogot the name ). The others are ok.

I’m really wondering, how is it possible to fail a random map selection?

Temple of the Silent Storm is the most balanced map in the game. It takes a true testament of skill to succeed in it; why is everyone complaining about it? What makes Temple of the Silent storm so bad?

Just to let you know the issue is fixed tomorrow on the next patch.

Its a nice and balanced map, but playing ~1/2 game there… well, you want to play somewhere else.

Ya I noticed something funky so i started keeping track. This only applies to soloq and CLEARLY this is not random. Of 36 games,

19 temple
8 skyhammer
4 khlyo
3 forest
2 legacy

…Did 22 games, 4 temple. Guess I’m just lucky?

I played with my guild and got it like twice out of 10 games.

I played with darth and got temple 5 out of 5 games.

GW2 hates Darth.

Why are these clearly illiterate people still complaining? ANET IS GOING TO FIX THIS. Hush yo face please.

So I’ve been playing with my guild and keeping count.. at the top 100 team tournament game ranking the rotation of Temple of the silent storm is 3 out of 5.. I thought Anet was going to fix this so i have been keeping silent and waiting patiently.. 3 patches since this thread was made and still having the same issue.. I am getting really tired of temple.. The funny part is i play with a few friends who just recently joined my guild Jedi Sensual Mindtricks, and they tell me that they would get temple 1/5 or 2/5 when playing at a ranking below 500 in Team Arena.. Once i recruited them to my guild and we got their ranking up to top 100 the cycle was reset and we started getting Temple 3 or 4 out of 5 times.. So either ArenaNet really really hates me the infamous Darth, or Top 100 games are still broken…

going to fix this – yes but we don’t want to wait a year

Can we have an ETA on when this will be fixed? I played with my team last night, we played 10 games.. we got Forest 3 times in a row (I thanked the heavens) Then we got Temple of the silent storm 5 times in a row ( I started mentally cursing) The last 2 games were Kyhlo.. Half of my team is Top 50 in the team leader boards and the rest of the team are all top 100.. Does this only happen to Top 100 teams? I’m just curious why Arenanet hates me and gives me Temple so much.. It’s truly Frustrating..
