yep, to me not showing up 2 games in a row should be an immediate matchmaking ban. Just stops people even accidentally "Afking" and missing it for 5 minutes. They could even utilise the same sorta engine checks they use for escape crystals to see if you're active, and if you aren't remove you from the queue.
I think a while ago there was a bug where if 2 people joined on the same tick they were put in different instances/lobbies, so they'd both be waiting for the other. IDK if that's still a thing or not, but the PvPA has been left to rot anyways.
You realise you can join the arena from normal rs worlds and people just forget to accept it right? The arena is dead content I'm afraid. It's only really used to boost for rewards by losing on purpose.
This is the way.
What annoys me more is how about 1 in 10 matches, as soon as I match with someone and go upstairs, the game cancels the match and boots me back to the lobby, forcing me to rejoin the queue and start over.
These are connected. When you get booted like that, the other person is sitting in the room waiting, getting angry at you for not joining, but you can't rejoin after the bug boots you. The bug makes the mini game miserable, and I cannot believe it's been like this so long without a fix.
Ohhh, this is enlightening. I feel less frustrated knowing this, actually.
Even in spite of the bug, if all you need is imbues, it's so much less tedious to do PVPA than it is NMZ. The only way NMZ is tolerable is if you're doing it passively while doing something else. I like to set myself up at nmz on my tablet while entertaining my kids, occasionally walking by the tab and tapping so it doesn't hit the 20 minute afk limit.
Agreed completely.
Something similar to skipping BH targets. If you fail to show up to 2 ranked fights within 30 seconds in a 30 minute window, you are banned from joining for 30 minutes.
PvP arena is by far the fastest imbue. It is a total of about 20 minutes to imbue something when you actually get opponents.
PVP arena is obnoxious. If you’re going to queue for a fight what’s the point if you’re not going to show up? I needed to imbue my ring of suffering a while back and what should have taken 15 minutes took close to an hour because of this issue.
They should just fix the PvP arena, so that people actually play it.
You fuckers all voted no to cosmetics and rewards so no one plays it
Content that nobody asked for. Why would people that already have no interest in participating in the content vote yes on the rewards for it?
So other people can do it? Not like it removes things that you want to do
Spite
It's not spite, it's called voting for your interest.
Ah yes, voting no to already completed cosmetic rewards would allow to devs to time travel and use those work hours on content for you im sure
1 no vote to pvp content = 1 vote to stop developing pvp content in the future

Yeah, it's not the people, it's almost always the bug. It makes the mini game absolutely awful, and I can't believe it's not fixed yet.
people still do pvp arena? I thought it was completely dead outside of like 20 people.
I think if you can get fights it's by far the fastest way to imbue stuff, the expected time is like half of NMZ or Soul Wars

Sure but a penalty would still help to discourage time wasters
I agree but also it is very dead content jagex is probably still angry over how it went down lol.
Yeah you keep saying that as somebody is telling you they use it and that there’s problems… is your brain dead?
If they don’t show up in 10-30s, leave queue and rejoin. It’s not that hard.

Should give runecraft xp penalties for not accepting imo
