No, I’m talking about arbitrary vs abitrary. You should be able to have a team consisting of 5 premade members, 2 premade members, and one completely solo individual vs another team of the same make up. It’s not a full premade here which is an important distinction.
If 5 people queue together then force them into a match where 5 others queued together and fill the rest of the team with same sized groups (or individuals).
Pretty cool idea man. Maybe they could call this system “free tournament”.
Don’t be a kitten. Maybe I should have used the number 6?
I want to que up with friends and do a few battle Grounds. Why wont it let us? It really needs to be fixed. Yes i know SPVP but we are just wanting to relax and have fun. This needs to be fixed!
You can play with your friends via tournaments. We will continue as well to improve the ability to play with friends in pickup games, but it will always be somewhat limited because we do not want large groups of guilds pub stomping the pick up games.
How about you make the matchmaking actually intelligent? If say a group of 4, a group of 3, and an individual are all queued then you could only match this group of 8 against another group of 4/3/1. You don’t HAVE to blindly place people in the match..
Except you can join whichever server you want so that doesn’t work.
Except when you manually choose a server it could queue you for that server until another same size group queues.
I’ve seen the stance that you don’t want groups of 8 queueing and stomping pubs of randoms, but I haven’t seen the idea of matching same sized groups suggested.
If I queue with one other friend, then penalize me and make me wait for a more specific match against someone else who queued with one other person. If 5 people queue together then force them into a match where 5 others queued together and fill the rest of the team with same sized groups (or individuals).
This would prevent pub teams from getting stomped by these groups coming in together as groups will only play against groups. This also alleviates the requirement of getting a team of 5 and working on competitive strategies from us more casual PvPers just in order to play together.
Other than random things that are obviously bugs that WILL be addressed, this is my biggest gripe so far. I’m glad to hear at least that others would like to see this implemented, but I’m hoping the suggestion is actually seen and picked up by the devs.
I would almost like to be able to set autotarget on a skill by skill basis though that might be overkill. Some abilities I’d like to autotarget while most I wouldn’t want that. If they make you not lose target when turning your camera that will help a lot.
I see no reason for it to not be implemented, but I would expect this to not be a big enough deal for them to do anything about it. The downed state is part of the experience they crafted to they probably want to you try it until you like it.

I think WoW does this as well as other games with matchmaking. Please don’t refer me to WvWvW as while that is fun, it’s a different game than sPvP.

So since you can’t queue for 8v8 as a group (though I often see 3+ members from the same guild), I find winning really comes down to luck. I could go a build that will allow me to kill people and gain glory or I could attempt to hold a position in order to help my team win.
What is your guys’ opinion of how to play 8v8? I’d like to win, but I’d also like to gain sPvP experience as well.
I’ve poked around some, but I don’t see any section for anything but support… where is it?…
