Guild Wars 2

+1 not playable anymore, in the past when i joined kitten server there where at least people wanting to play it this way.

If you dont fix what you did there anet, why not just delete it completly and jut leave custom arenas, would hardly make it worse . . .

..praying for new gamemodes x_x

I will say the one nice thing about people being able to swap is how extremely satisfying it is when some baddie forces auto and ends up losing because a good player volunteered and made a comeback.

All they need to do is make it so when you join spectate you are locked out of picking a new team for some period of time or even the match. If you don’t like losing you should be able to leave the game or just watch but you shouldn’t be able to join the winning team.

With the overhaul to matchmaking complete, we’re now ready to begin restructuring PvP for the future. PvP is now grouped into three areas: “Practice” in hot-join, “Play” in unranked arenas, and “Compete” in ranked arenas. This change will help guide players through the stages of development toward high-level competition.

Unranked Arena will give players a safe place to play solo or with their friends in any sized group without having to worry about affecting their ladder standing. If you’re ready to move on from hot-join, or if you want to test out new builds, warm up a new profession, try out new teammates, or just chill out and have fun in a structured PvP environment, Unranked Arena is for you. Unranked Arena also takes advantage of all the new matchmaking changes, so you will tend to be grouped together with players of your skill level and group size.

The update will include a host of other improvements to PvP. We’ve overhauled the entire flow of how a player enters PvP. Rosters are a thing of the past; now you can simply join with your party. Players now have to confirm before entering a match, so 4v5 situations can no longer occur from people going AFK. For players who do drop out, the Dishonor system has also been improved to better handle bad behavior.

Never stepping into hotjoin again lol.

Nice.

Did they just basically turn solo pvp →unranked? I don’t mind if they did, just wondering.

No. You can queue up for unranked with your party.

Solo arena is gone now. Team arena now attempts to match solo players against other solo players. If a team of solo players goes up against a pre-made team, they won’t lose too much ranking if they lose and they will gain more if they win.
