this is one more reason why you should give back our 8v8.
currently it is impossible to get a match, ALL of your 5v5 servers are full.
honestly whos bright idea was it to utterly remove 8v8?
there is no reasoning behind it,
you’ve removed the favourite part of the game for some of us.
give us our 8v8 back so we can actually get a match.
atleast 4-5 servers. 5v5 doesn’t need to go anywhere, but give us back 8v8.
They should make it so that if people click Play Now, and there is no available left, they should create an addition server.
Unless there is a bug, it should already be doing this.
Last time I clicked “Play Now” I got onto a custom arena, but I think one with the same settings as the hot-join servers from ArenaNet.
That’s by design. Our hot-join servers are really just custom arenas that we run. All that is required to be picked up by the “Play Now” feature is to use the standard config.
But courtyard is excluded from that?
Correct. Courtyard is not part of the standard custom arena configuration.

Correct. Courtyard is not part of the standard custom arena configuration.
May I ask why?
TDM is not a supported game mode, at least not yet. We are watching the how community responds to the format, and then we’ll go from there.
Uhhh…. I’m 110% positive than on 2 different occasions today I clicked “play now” and got sent to a Courtyard map!
Not that I’m complaining, it’s fun, and if it’s a bug I’m not sure I want you to fix it :p
I was wrong, we changed it some time back so it will include any custom arena that has progression enabled.
We’ve added 50 more standard custom arenas. I’ve also randomized the map order.
Thanks, but you’ve also broken somthing I think. Pressing play dumps me into custom servers instead of an Anet server (which are mostly empty or have 2-8 players). I’m also getting lots of network error messages when server hopping.
We haven’t changed that functionality. It will still put you in any custom arena with progression enabled and has room.
This change was just for people that desired more arenas with the standard configuration.
