Guild Wars 2

Overall looks great, hyped for duo q, but in true forum style I just want to focus on one negative quickly…

There is no issue in solo q with people flat out leaving a match. DCs happen from time to time, but they are certainly not a top frustration.

The key issue is simple this: experienced players are gauging how a matchup is by the first 2 mins, and if it doesn’t look good they choose not to participate in a way that won’t have them punished. I play every game through to the end, buy I’d say about 30% of regular (highly active) solo q players do this.

This is where the frustrations are, not in people quitting or getting DCs.

Well, the hope with the new system is that those types of people end up falling down the ladder. Sure for that one particular game, it impacted you as well. I’m sure they do it quite a bit and hopefully they will end up at a lower rung of the ladder where you won’t need to see them anymore.

Yeah lets hope so. Never underestimate the princess, cholera , and their army of darkness and despair however. It’s gonna make that afk sting hurt even more.

I think if the punishment system doesn’t address this then DH, at least at higher levels, is just going to be a burden. We don’t need it for anything else….

Oh and Type-pain-I-am (get it?)
