Hotjoins is not exactly something the community want the Devs to spend large amounts of time and resources on. I rather these resources go towards Leagues, bug fixes, balances. They’re taking enough time on these items as it is…

While that is true, what we are asking for requires no effort. Whether it is disabling spectators in official hot-join servers, or preventing players from joining the winning team, we’re talking about a 5 minute job. It’s a matter of changing a variable, or adding an if statement in the code. That’s it.

From experience, I can tell you that a lot of new and returning players are having one heck of a bad time in PvP, because they have no one to team up with, and they figure hot-join is the place for them to learn how to play. And honestly, I don’t blame them. It used to be. It should be.

exactly, not to mention you cant even que with a team until you are rank 10, so you have to do at least 10+ hours of hotjoin to even play with friends who are above rank 10 – which seems to be ignored in this thread.

I have the Faithful title, ive had this game since its launched but only got to level 50 before hand and came back because ive heard they made huge improvements. But once I hit level 80 and went to do PVP this is easily the worst pub mode PVP settings ive seen in a “PVP game” in my life.. this is not a FPS where 2 very skilled players can over come a 2vs3. This is objective based PVP game where capturing nodes, etc comes into play and a team with larger numbers will win majority of time. Its ridiculous the amount of caping/excuses going on in here “well its not made to be taken serious” is that in the description ? No, of course not, and its also required to even play with your friends in the first place..

Out of curiosity, why not just que unranked?

because then you get paired with 4 strangers usually vs a full team of guildmates on teamspeak

Not only is that patently untrue, you rarely get matched vs a full 5 premade BUT you then play hotjoin (practice) and cry that its unfair?

OP are you trolling or really this silly?

so either way im in a lose/lose situation ? does the fanboyism run that deep that Anet is immune to criticism for this system ?

I am so confused… why would someone make thread about Hot Join.

Because its still apart of the game I paid for..

If you want to play “fair” matches que for Ranked/Unranked. HJ is for casual trolling.

Have a good day friend, goodluck in other threads

What is so hard about fixing PvP teams in this game ? almost every game goes 2v3, then 3v4 and then 4v5, since people can see the scores before joining a team they just join the winning team.

Its such an easy fix.. if its 2v2, when a 5th person joins, it cant make it 2v3 which is an obvious unfair advantage in capturing points. Just lock the 5th person out, til a 6th joins. Make them go in spectate mode and lock them in the team they originally joined.

What is so hard about this? And if someone leaves a game, making it 5v4, or whatever, just make it so the person on the opposite team who has the lowest points is unable to play (teleports to starting zone and cant leave starting zone til another player joins)

seriously, what is so complicated about fixing this ?
