Guild Wars 2

In all mmorpg they always has the fail join in pvp system, u always join a pvp game and 99% its a loosing game. Its because someone just left. Many other games have done a change in this to reset balance so people que for a “New” game… not log into a allready failed game.
Is there a posibility for u to fix this? Because always when i jump inot a normal pvp game, its a loss. But the second game after that is ok. Etc etc… Must be something to do about that because i dread que for normal pvp just because i always have to waist 20 min in a allready failed game.
Any suggestions?

Hey,
I am not sure I got your idea right.
You are complaining about PvP system or about what? About leavers and afk players?
In any way tpvp is team based pvp system. If you join it alone then it means that it is “just for fun” so, there are nothing to complain about. If you join it with 4 friends and one of your team is random – then you still have good chances against 5 players.
And if you was talking about hot join, then only one tip – hot join is for noobs and build testers, don’t expect any team work there.

Because people leave matches early, there isn’t really a good solution – either the people who got ditched are kittened, or, if the system is prioritizing evening out odd matches, you get kittened when you get thrown into a rout. I think punishing those who leave early in some way is one reasonable way to “help” the situation but there really is no perfect solution to this problem imo… mostly a hotjoin problem because ppl leave so frequently but it happens in tpvp solo join as well and they do not fill hte mising spot afaik..

Join games that have an even numbers of players in them, not odd. Higher chance of a competitive game (which you’ll ruin by joining, though hopefully someone else follows after you heh).

I aim for the ones that are 14/16.

Hotjoins are a huge issue. They should have made people q for actual matchs from the start. Now that’s going to be hard to implement.

no, thank you.

i prefer the 8 vs 8 (16 players rooms) to behave like team fortress 2 games where i can drop in and drop out anytime the match is going on.

go play tournaments. you will get what you want there.

hell no. no punishment.
do people who leave team fortress 2 games get punished?

them 8 vs 8 (16 players) rooms are working as intended.
people are free to drop in and drop out for some quick action.

tournaments, however. needs some leavers de buff to discourage their intentional leaver behavior.

People actually care about winning or losing in spvp??
The only thing i do there is farm
I enjoy killing people in spvp and when i want to win i’ll go tournament.

^agreed
I join sPvP for killing people and getting some duels. Occasionally to train a new build or profession.
tPvP for winning.

i agree that hot join is very imbalancing! its a mentality thing some people go there to chill and test builds some cant stand losing and hop to a different server, someone above has suggested making it so you can only “hotjoin” a new and starting game and since the games are only like 10 minutes long at best i dont think you would get many leavers. I do not think its fair to enforce a leavers penalty like league of legends because arena net have designed hot join for drop in drop out first person shooter design so you can relax and fight a not so serious match. Therefore a “hotjoin new games only” would fix this as much as it can be fixed in my opinion! hopefully arena net sees this.
