It seems that every time I am entering solo, I go against a premade. It seems like it is actually trying to put me against premade groups instead, the exact opposite of what is suppose to happen…
ArenaNet – You going to fix this or will it take another few months?
Lol… Just bc ur getting rekt doesn’t mean ur fighting a premade, ur probably just bad #psi
Yeah – You must be correct. I mean, them all being in the same guild must of been a massive coincidence.
Just played against the same pre-made team of 5 twice in a row as solo.
Another patch that has been an absolute kittening fail.
I honestly don’t get what was wrong with the old system of SoloQ, TeamQ & Hotjoin. It would of been perfect with the new ready system etc.
Agreed. I just queued solo and had an instant pop against a 5-man premade. Nothing is working the way you said it would ArenaNet.
Sort it out.
We currently have 3 Hotjoin Arena’s at the moment. It’s silly…
Can ArenaNet confirm whether there is MMR at the moment or not?
I just had 5 Thieves (including me) vs. Balanced setup.
We still won…somehow.
If you play just for leaderboards I feel sorry for you.
I also mentioned MMR? It’s not particularly enjoyable to absolutely destroy everyone in Ranked Arena at the moment because I am 1v3ing these PvE players.
I was wondering about this too, if it’s true, there’s really no reason to pvp until the test season starts on the 16th.
Exactly…
No Leaderboards or MMR?
These will only be available during seasons?
I honestly don’t see what was wrong with Hotjoin, SoloQ & TeamQ.
You don’t see the issue with 4v5 matches, 3-4 of the same profession on one team at times, poor matchmaking, and a broken ladder?
They are sorting those issues out though? That’s my point.
If everyone continues to queue up alone then nothing will change. The idea of premades 5 mans vs pugs is not going to happen as its matching teams with teams. Allegedly. Plus, this type of thing already happens in teamQ now, but it should fix that.
So if you soloQ, just keep playing solo. Won’t change much.
Of course premades vs pugs is going to happen.
The pvp community is small, so you are going to q up with your premade, wait 2 minutes, and then get matched up with whatever pugs are Quequeing.
All that’s going to happen is you will drive the solo Q players out, and ruin team Q.
Also, unless they change the achievements, play is just compete without rewards. Same game mode, just no rewards. Who wants that?
Exactly.
It’s not going to work out at all. There are not enough players in GW2 sPvP for it.
I honestly don’t see what was wrong with Hotjoin, SoloQ & TeamQ.
1. Improve Skyhammer
2. Improve Matchmaking
3. Fix 4v5 Situation
4. Remove SoloQ
Erm… Okay? You finally do the things SoloQ players have been requesting for over a year only to remove it after.
SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
After WTS, I can pretty much guarantee it’ll be the end for GW2 PvP. I will even go as far to say that ArenaNet may remove sPvP altogether in the near future.
(edited by Obsidia.5127)
It is too late for sPvP to be saved. Nothing would help it now, even if what we have been asking for all happened. It won’t lure people back and it wouldn’t really bring in new players.
It’s over.
RIP
Yes – It is dead.
After WTS, I don’t think they’ll even support sPvP anymore. They’ll probably even remove it eventually. It would probably be for the best if they did that and focus on WvW or PvE which still has some sort of life.
Just kitten you.
- Collero
top players sit in mists trying to figure out best way to color their gear while PVP is played only by newbies who still havent figured out that leaderboard doesnt give you anything at all
WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE :<
Yeah, I read this as well and was like WOW ITS SO TRUE.
Don’t forget that sometimes one of these TOP players will sometimes enter SoloQ only to violently vomit after one match and log off.
They don’t care Leeto. They actually don’t care. All you have to do is look at the Skyhammer situation in SoloQ to know they absolutely couldn’t give a kitten about any of us.
I would prefer them to remove sPvP and focus on WvW. Please make some of your player base happy at least, even if it’s not me.
It has already been said that it has nothing to do with queue times but with the quality of players entering SoloQ & TeamQ. I barely even recognize anyone anymore, it’s kittening horrible.
I can’t even imagine what NA is like.
Hardly waited more than 2 minutes in soloQ. Perhaps very late at night, i guess most people must be sleeping in EU, and so do I. But i think we may have a geographical and demographical advantage on that point.
What collero means with dead is that only 1 hour a day youll get in to games with people who play at a similar MMR (if youre at a decent MMR). The rest of the day its a 10+ min queue to get in to games with people who are on par with the avg hotjoiner.
The lower MMRed you are the less youll notice.
Correct – This is exactly what I meant for anyone who didn’t understand what I was getting at.
It is basically impossible to get any decent matches in either of them anymore. Back in the day, you knew not to queue in the middle of the night or during the mornings, but now it’s like it doesn’t matter what time of day it is, it is dead.
Yep. It’s only been 2 days since the FEATURE PATCH and sPvP already feels dead again.
I was talking about the NEW Runes/Sigils like Rune of Evasion. It would of been interesting to use.
I haven’t played d/p since the patch, am quite concerned about the heavy nerf to black powder though. How are you guys finding it?
It’s actually a bigger problem than I thought it would be. I don’t even know why they changed it, I think it was for PvE but did they not think about what changes it would make for PvP.
I really don’t get how people could possibly think Necro is weak right now. It’s not overpowered but it is so far from being weak.
L2P
Necro is fine!
Necro is more than fine at the moment. It is one of the strongest classes in my opinion, especially in SoloQ. In TeamQ, I think it depends on how much condi removal the opposing team has.
Yep. It’s already happened a few times in the last hour.
MORE BUGS!
U miss steal every time you do heartseeker+steal
KITTEN IT!
It’s fine for me.
Why didn’t you add the new Runes/Sigils to sPvP?
Do you do everything possible to keep sPvP as uninteresting as possible?
Standardized models will be nice…
Wooo.. Yeah… WOO. Wooooo.
Why would anyone be looking forward to this patch? I am not even trying to be negative but this patch is the biggest ‘kitten you’ to sPvP ever.
It was a disgusting thing to see. How about you do something about it so that people actually have a reason to log on Guild Wars 2.
It really shown how horrific the decay system currently is.
bring Justin to ready up (the only guy who talked with comunity in this forum like he would care bout the comunity)
I really want to know what happened to Justin. He was literally the only person that I could take seriously when it came to ArenaNet answering threads.
Looks like you won’t be starting sPvP again for at least another year.
I don’t get any of these bugs apart from the odd dodgy steal every now and then. I would say once every 200 times I use it and I can often remember where it happens as I am pretty sure it is to do with the terrain. I guess I just ain’t good enough to notice these strange happenings…right?

This ‘Feature’ pack for September basically shows how they can’t afford to support sPvP anymore even when it is desperately needed.
I would suggest looking for a new game or exploring other areas of GW2 as sPvP is all downhill from here on. I can pretty much guarantee that.
It’s kittening awful.
ArenaNet sit back and do nothing about it. I take it Justin is no longer at ArenaNet? I remember him being one of the only people that actually seemed like he knew what he was doing.
They haven’t even started working on it.
“To kick things off, we’ll be focusing on new PvP and WvW updates.” from Anet themselves all I seen is the standard models and thats it
. I really hope we are proven wrong on this few days and there is stuff for pvp. I still have hope
link to the quote: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/announcing-the-september-2014-feature-pack/
Exactly.
Did I miss something or does this not include anything for PvP? Announcing WTS & ToG are not FEATURES.
These 5v3’s and 4v4’s are getting boring now. I am surprised that more people haven’t come on to complain about this bullkitten.
ArenaNet – Are you really going to sit back and do kitten all?
I am getting the lag spikes for about 4-5 days now. It’s getting ridiculous…
Rewards for leaderboard, seasonal resets like every 2 month, so no decay issue. Would be way more representative than ToL where you can get a legendary by winning 3 games vs a top team :x
This.
Team Mist has all the best players from when Cheese Mode was dominating… I expect TM to win although I do love watching CM’s new comp.
I wouldn’t say Sizer is dominating as much as he use to and there are other warriors that are equal to ROM at the moment.
Misha & Shad are both very strong players and might be able to pull out the win for 55HP against CM, but apart from that, I just can’t imagine CM losing.
