Guild Wars 2

While 2 is fine for customs, the minimum number of players needed to start a normal hotjoin game needs to be increased to either 4 or 6. If this can’t reasonably be done without affecting customs then improve the interface to properly show the number of players instead of showing 18-20 even on ones that have no players, maybe even give us some sorting options.

When you have a game start with 3 the game is completely unbalanced and I’ve literally played games where it was just 2v1 the whole time. Even if more people join at some point it’s already had a major impact on the match.

Also last night I ended up in a 1v1 which wasn’t much fun for either of us and ended with my opponent quitting and me just standing around waiting for the score to hit 500 and getting lots of free glory. This is broken.

what?
this is what hotjoin is all about.
this is working as intended.

by the way, what is stopping you from using the game browser to choose a room with 10+ players in it?

The fact that you have no way of knowing how many players they have since they all claim they have anywhere from 17-20 players even if they have 0. For that matter they almost always say they’re on a different map than they actually are. TBH the problem would be solved by just fixing the kitten browser.

Euh.. My browser shows how many players there are in that specific game/which map it is unless I joined just when it changed map. Don’t know what you’re talking about at all sry.

if you saw 17 – 20 players in a room, joined that room, got 0 players.
i think you must have encountered some serious bug. O_O

did this happen for you all the time?

All the ones I join say that and when I get in there is typically anywhere between 2 and 10, though yes in some cases there’s 0 or 1. Also most of the time it displays the previous map instead of the current one. My friends have experienced the same.

seems like an issue of the game browser is not refreshing the amount of current players correctly for you and your friends. O_O

did you click the “refresh” button while browsing the game browser?

<3 games that start 2v1…. best…. mode…..eva
