Yes and being punished for <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> servers still exist among it all. I actually got into a 5v5 match and was immediately disconnected. Went right to log in screen. I typed my password got on Char and when I got back the countdown had just begun but I was no longer part of the team... Yet the match did not even begin yet. Worse is I got 30 minute penalty for it. I did not ask to get dc. I did not ask to get auto kicked by the system from the team. I did not ask nor deserve a 30 minute penalty for this broken system. My point is even if you get on a 5v5 <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> can happen to screw up the match due to the broken system.
All that made me do was stop playing for the rest of the day. Evidently they do not want people to play or else they would not penalize people who want to play. That was my take on it and how I am gonna treat it here on out..
2 matches today with 2.5-3.6k IL ppl against the same troll OP/ 2 GF combo with 2 CWs to clean up. 3rd match 4v3 and I got kicked after 1 minute, 30 minutes penalty.
How not to do it?
Major ninja changes to the mechanic of PvP, check.
No existing matchmaking, check.
Bugged que system resulting in 1v4 matches, check.
Major server issues with a penalty for the players for getting kicked from the server, check.
LvL 70 PvP gear available to bigger guilds for lvl 12 chars, check.
Even if I would try to screw it up on purpose, I would have a hard time to find so many ways to do it.
I've encountered all sorts of combinations (some to my favor, some against).
Most hilarious one was a 5 v 0 matches, the gate opens and 5 of us ran to the nodes, capped them and had to wait for timer to run out. We had fun dancing around node 2 for the record...
Another time, we were in a 2 v 5 and of course the 5 of them massacred us easily.
I noticed that the bug arises when players queue for DOM PVP but reject it when the queue pops. The game somehow didn't register this and proceed to load the match nonetheless. In my 2 v 5 match, I noticed that 3 players queued as a premade and rejected the queue together, resulting in a lopsided 2 v 5...
