GnarKillah Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 For ranked arenas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmarttigann Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I haven't exactly looked into all the details but.... Is regular queue going to include both warzones and arenas? Felt like I saw people complaining about that somewhere... Is ranked solo queue going to give Ranked comms? Felt like I saw somewhere it is not going to give ranked comms. If it doesn't give ranked comms I will have to think about it.... Not sure what the point would be queueing that over regular. Then it just depends on which one pumps out regular comms faster.

madmarttigann Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Then the question should be... who the hell WONT do solo queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvane Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Then the question should be... who the hell WONT do solo queue If they dont have separate ratings people might avoid solo queues, about the only reason i could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravashakk Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 High solo q rating might actually mean something about ur skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnarKillah Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Jesus don't you guys read the blogs they post. There are separate ratings for solo ranked and group ranked Arenas and warzones in normal que will be random and will be combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxmob Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) I haven't exactly looked into all the details but.... Is regular queue going to include both warzones and arenas? Felt like I saw people complaining about that somewhere... Is ranked solo queue going to give Ranked comms? Felt like I saw somewhere it is not going to give ranked comms. If it doesn't give ranked comms I will have to think about it.... Not sure what the point would be queueing that over regular. Then it just depends on which one pumps out regular comms faster. there is only one regular queue. it includes solos + grp with 1-4 (same as current reg Q). all rated arenas reward rated comms rated arena wins/losses do not count toward daily (although I suspect they'll change that before it goes live) solo rated Q is s separate rating from grp rated Q, and they are only arenas. I THINK solo Q arena teams only face other solo Q arena teams, but someone else needs to verify that. I KNOW that quitting is a major issue for solo Q arenas on PTS. and as you can probably guess, 3v4 TDM is a much more significant disadvantage than 7v8 objective-based WZ. other than the (potential) issues raised in the bolded lines, the major problem with 2.4 Qs is that there's only one reg Q that will pit a full 4m premade against a collection of 4 solo Q'd players in an arena, and nobody has any choice in the matter about being in arena Q while Qing for a WZ. these arenas will be slaughterhouses, and there will be much QQ. I imagine you'd be better off just solo Q ranked and get pummeled there -- even if you'd face legit 4m rated teams (not sure on that even being the case though). however, if you want to play WZs, then there's no way to avoid arenas and the likelihood of getting stomped by a premade when your reg Q pop meets one in an arena.

foxmob Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Sure, why not. quitting is reportedly endemic. 1 quitter = insta-loss in most cases. still, I'd rather have solo q and work on the quitting thing than not have it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmarttigann Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Is there no longer a Debuff if you leave WZs? If quitting is such a problem, make the punishment more severe. *Bane voice* Seriously though, arenas don't take that long if your group sucks. Just make people stick through it by giving them a 15-20 min debuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnarKillah Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Solo q will be more or less based on your rating and groups will be chosen based on the closest rating and such. Yes if you solo q you will be put into a random team with members that also solo q'd And you will face another team that is basically random.

DJ_Sicosis Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Then the question should be... who the hell WONT do solo queue Honestly, from what I've seen on the PTS, solo queueing is going to be terrible. If you don't have a pretty good team, you're just rancor bait out there feeding the wolves. Now thats on the PTS, where for the most part, the only people actually participating are PvPers, not your random pugs (though you still get them). Now put that on the live servers, where every noob in this game is going to go crazy cause its zomgsh! new content....and its a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyreece Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm sure I'll have my fair share of solo queuing. Gonna try and get a 4 man guild group together, but I'm doubtful they'll run as much as I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synavix Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 As a semi-casual PvPer, I'm going to have little-to-no interest in queueing once arena is mixed in. I queue for warzones specifically because I enjoy the team mentality and objective-based design. I PvPed a LOT when I played Rift for a short while, and I'd probably queue a lot more PvP again in this game if it was a lot more huttball and a lot less hypergates. With arenas also in the mix It'll pretty much ruin it for me unless they add some seriously fun additional WZs into it. I'm sure there are plenty of cocky hardcore PvPers that would like nothing more than for there to be fewer casuals in solo queue, but I really hope it doesn't ruin queue times and the general PvP experience if a lot of people end up feeling the same way I do. Fewer people playing is bad for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
