One Problem with GW2 and BGs

[DrakeWurrum]

I don't have that much of a problem with it though, but I think it's kinda fun fighting your friends once in a while.

It can be, but I'm thinking about this situation as it pertains to playing with my girlfriend. Pretty sure she would not enjoy being separated from me, as we like to play as a pair in pvp.

There was one game where we actually ended up on different teams at the beginning of the game, but before any fighting really started I was able to switch teams. You can only switch teams if the team you're trying to switch to has less players on it, has to be at least 1 less player.

I've played quite a bit with friends, and with my experience playing with 1 or 2 friends it usually keeps you on the same team. When I played with 3 friends though we were often split up with 2 of us one team and 2 of us on the other.

I think when we got in separate teams, was because I changed to my elementalist, when I was mainly playing with my ranger.

But no matter, I raped you hard on him and saved my ally, at the time XD. Then we rejoined on the same team.

Edit: @Drake

You have a GF? Blasphemy! XD Joking

I don't think that will be too much of a problem. Like I said, with my experience so far when I'm grouped with 1 other person it tends to place us on the same team. Then if you ever do end up on separate teams it's pretty easy to switch teams with all the leavers you encounter in spvp. It will pretty much always put you on different teams if you join at the same time though. It's definitely a minor inconvenience.

Shouldn't be an inconvenience at all. :P

Yea...I can't really argue for it or against it myself though, that's how neutral I am on this particular topic. I'm just saying there is a sort of an inconvenient way to get on the same team if this is something that isn't fixed.

I wouldn't mind if they did something like Smite does actually. Premade pug games are limited to groups of 3 people. I think allowing 3-4 people to group together in spvp wouldn't be so bad, but if you allowed 8 players to consistently group together it would probably just become the norm since it'd make glory farming so much faster. Then people that solo queue end up getting steam-rolled.

I find it fun to kill my friends at time (in the game ).

It just remind me of TF2 with autobalance.

They could just do it like they do in LoL. Pre-mades have an extremely high chance of being pit against other pre-mades.
