Guild Wars 2

I haven’t been playing much sPvP lately due to slow fixes on some bugs and balance issues. However this past week I’ve been playing a fair amount and noticed that at peak hours there is usually only 10-15 “full” servers. That hardly seems like any kind of real participation between users, not very many people at all in the grand scheme of things has any one else been noticing as of late? I remember when there was so much more activity.

I’m not trying to be gloom and doom or troll here I’m genuinely curious as to what has happened.

…most people who take pvp seriously rarely do hotjoins?

We’re all doing tourneys unless we feel like pubstomping.

Everyone who did Spvp moved into Tpvp.

Its accessible and queues pop very quickly these days. I can Tpvp at 2am and have 30sec-2min queues popping.

What Lux said.

This is even more true now that there are solo ques. Not having a full 5 man premade is no longer an issue. There is simply no excuse for logging into hotjoins other than to farm glory/get top score dailies.

Hopefully custom arenas will be a more intuitive system for stress free PvPing.

I see. Didn’t realize they added solo joins to tpvp given my schedule it’s hard to be on with the people I normally play with. Good to know!

Hotjoin is for newbies learning the game or vets trying out builds/having some fun in hotjoin(it can be once in a while).
