Guild Wars 2

Even with a ton of free time it’s a pain getting together a 5 man pick up group, MUCHLESS having a dedicated team online all at the same time. Even if you get a few games in when everyone is on, what if you want to actually.. keep playing the game? Spvp is NOT enjoyable. 8v8 + no coordination on conquest? get real. Plus throw in the fact that there isn’t any meta to force people to run bunkers and it’s an all out zerg fest. Direct Damage is already on the high side in the game.

So anyway two things(or tldr) :

1) Does anyone know the most active heart of the mists server for pick ups?

2) PLEASE add smaller bracket game modes or maps so I can play with a friend or two, or have a much easier time doing a pick up. I don’t care if it’s balanced around this – honestly. Some kind of matchmaking/ranking would be cool – but not even necessary. I just want to play the game.

8on8 is the best way for casuals to learn the game. (i lol’d)
They won’t change it, but fortunality they won’t balance the for the 8ono8 whiner too.
And better player wont play 8on8 and they’re doing tournaments.(neither right)

Sad but true. They didnt listen to us. And then wont do it today.

Either Anet said, with paidtournaments they Pugs and premade will be splitted better.

But this is a missacception. After the first ticket will be burned. 1% of the GuildPremade will be playing Paid and the rest (mostly the “loser”) will go back to free and continue stomping Pugs and Randoms.

nothing of that has to do with my concerns. Keep 5v5 balance I don’t care. I just want to be able to play without getting 4 other players online and still not pugging in a huge zergfest. I log on maybe 20 minutes at a time, look for a pick up group, see if my friends are online, and maybe get a few games a week. It’s completely kitten That’s not even getting started on matchmaking and ect.

I can’t believe I missed those posts, it’s really amazing just how clueless they seem to be regarding anything PvP related. With the terrible balancing attempts, seemingly unwilling to balance some ridiculously broken things and still after almost 2 months there’s a substantial amount of bugs that make some skills/builds almost unplayable.

balance isn’t that bad in a 5v5 or smaller setting with a few bunker builds on each team. Bugs need to be fixed of course, but I just really rather play the game more than a few games a week before I cry about nerf this nerf that
