Candidate Trials is not fun

I agree with the OP too. There should be a warning that a group is recommended for this content. Trying to solo it is just plain frustration. At least for a casual gamer like me. Maybe some break between waves would help but now Im just swarmed after a couple of minutes regardless of the weapons and tactics I try.

How much time have you played? Hardcore or Casual?

34 hours so far which isn’t much compared to the numbers in this thread still I feel it’s a bit too much. :-) I need to do other things too…

Who actually cares if you win or lose a 8v8 hotjoin?

I care about winning or loosing and I don’t care about glory. But that’s just probably me. I play for the fun. I never really understood people ‘farming’ a game for rewards.
What’s the point in getting rewards for something you don’t even enjoy doing?

At least make it so small groups of 2-3 can join as a party.

You’re halfway to a tourney team. Just find another small group of friends and enter free tournament. Or enter with just you two and it will find another group of 3 that need 2 and it will pair you up.

But if just the two of us queue and we get matched up with 3 random people, then we will be at a disadvantage against a premade of 5. So I guess it’s ok if small groups of 2-3 people get stomped by full premades in tourneys, buts it not ok for a group of 2 people to join a normal BG with 8 people. That makes no sense at all.

I think it does make sense. Hot join bg’s are for shuffled groups. Tournaments are for organized play. Now as I can see you want to play organized in the unorganized group. Now that makes no sense to me.
If you want to play with your buddy/bro/fiance etc. there are couple of solutions:
a.) get 3 other players in Mists chat
b.) join a guild of your choice. If you are casual join a social/family guild.
c.) join a tournament and try working with the pug part

Can't queue as a team??

It’s funny how people find it ‘unfair’ to join tournaments with their party of 2-3 because of the possibility of being matched up against larger organized groups while they find it ‘fair’ to join Hotjoins with a party of 2-3 where they would have the advantage of being a bit more organized.
And yes, I do think that parties of 2-3 would alter the balance of hotjoins unfair compared to the present system of shuffling random players.

No, dont remove downed state.. its the big thing setting it apart from pvp at other games. ..

Agree with this.

So lts put some flying pink cats and button that spawns tank with pink monkeys on it shooting everything. Dosnt matter if it sux just let it be there to set it apart from pvp at other games -.-

No. The point is that it differs from other games by adding an extra layer of complexity to the fight. You have to care about downed players, enemy or ally likewise. I personally like it a lot.

I was very happy to read Anet’s response on this. I just hated in wow when premades were griefing pugs.
Gw2 pvp system is very polished, I love the maps and map mechanics, I love the equal playground, love the ease at which I can change talents, char stats and my playstyle.

Oh and I love that I finally I dont have to farm levels, honor, gear etx. before I can jump into fight in the evenings. Keep up the good work ArenaNet.

Cant wait to see more maps!
