Guild Wars 2

Hi i’m not really a pvper today i saw the poll and i was wondering it the lock on class takes place from the moment you que or when you are in the map and w8ing for the match to start. I understand you want to do it for class specific mmr but the thing is imho and from what iv been told from pvper friends classes and builds are really not such a big factor in low ranks and while in higher ranks they are not many ppl if any will switch to a class they know jack kitten about and they will go with safe pick where they know they can compete with the enemy team.

With that being said why not have the lock aply after the match started i mean there’s a down time when you join the pvp map where everyone presses ready and w8 etc. Why not allow the class swap up until that point right before the match starts and forbid it after it?

Edit pretty much what option “no” is lul i cant understand why voting yes is better here in any case.

Basically, it’s the moment you queue.

“Technically,” your profession is locked the moment your queue “pops” and you press accept, but actually your profession is locked the moment you queue, because swapping characters is considered “leaving the map,” which abandons queue.

Edit: Also, it’s worth noting this change would do nothing to prevent class-stacking. Whether you think that’s an issue or not is up to you.

this change it self doesn’t prevent class stacking. It only makes it so you hope anet will find you a good comp i think “no” is the way to go.

Or choose “Yes” and rage enough until Anet removes class stacking.

They won’t remove class stacking for a while, if they ever do. First, it would take a bit to get per profession MMR down. It seems simple, you know you are good with 1 profession, but try to play an unfamiliar one and you will be worse at it. That part makes sense, but if you are in high plat then you are a good PvPer, and will be good-ish at PvP no matter what class you are on (theoretically at any rate). So its not as simple as starting out from bronze level MMR for each class. It would have to take into account how well of a PvP-er in general you are, which will take a while to get down. And then there are queue time problems that could come with removing class stacking.
