Cannot sPvP after latest feature pack
PvP has been a mess since april anyway, it has descended into rank farms. For a time I put up with it and did the 5v5s for the dailies but got fed up with it, at least prior to april though to find a 10v10 was rare at least 8v8s was very standard. Nowadays only 10v10s I see are rank farms… Think you are too kind to call it sPvP, it’s not called sPvP anywhere in game and it’s very poorly structured as it is, all too common to have uneven teams there as there’s no incentive to balance the teams, autobalance just awards people for joining the smaller team so one may just deliberately unbalance a team so they get volunteer credit later!
Anyway sorry to hear PvP has suffered as well, made a decision to abandon it till they purge the rank farming if ever, (pity as I’ve gotten 3 ascended drops from the dungeon tracks in the few games I did play since April) I’d have thought lag and frame rates were a much smaller problem with the nature of PvP being ‘structured’, especially in a game as small as 5v5 or less but oh well, seems this great september feature has not lived up to the hype. Have you had crashes due to the tp btw? PvP is a very small part of the game whereas the tp is vital…
Here’s a useful question, do you have trouble with WvW since september? If no but you are crashing in the much smaller scale PvP something strange is afoot.

I stay away from hotjoin altogether unless I’m practicing a new build since people will rig matches with the rebalancing just to force me to switch teams if I’m winning, and then rejoin on my previous color. It’s a really ignorant thing to do to someone that beat you fair and square.
I only had issues with the TP the first day of the Sept feature pack, but they patched it so it crashes less frequently. And I haven’t tried WvW yet since the patch because I don’t enjoy it as much as PvP. I might try it though until the sPvP bugs are ironed out since if I crash in WvW, it’s less of a liability to my server because of the hundreds of people that will be online for the next tournament.
Aren’t you lucky, my tp is still crashing me. Maybe we could have an exchange programme lol. As you want to pvp or spvp as u call it and I want a working tp, I probably have a working pvp (wvw seemed to work well enough, eventually crashed after several hrs play with blobs about but that’s not uncommon I don’t think so I presume pvp should be fine)
I would avoid hot join too if they allowed 10v10s in tpvp. Can’t get past being set in my ways but a downed tp as with April’s fiasco is the perfect time to focus on pvp for me as they don’t give too many loots to break the inventory bags…

Good luck to us both then Yifang, I think they’ll remedy the Trading Post issues first for Mac beta since every type of player uses the TP in some fashion. I’ve been checking the pvp forums and here and I’m sure they’ll come up with something. It’s just that crucial wait between a feature pack going live and the hotfixes finally catching up. See you in game and gl with that trading post!
