Guild Wars 2

I’ll start by saying if this system is not fixed I can’t see myself playing GW2 much longer.

Now you know my opinion on the topic, lets dive into the details.

1: The old system. The old system was perfect in the sense of match making, yet solo que needed a SMALL fix in the sense of the 4v5 pandemic. All that was need was the “Ready to join” screen you click accept on to ensure your not AFK, and don’t cripple your team,

2: The Facelift. The facelift was needed to the pvp menu, and I Like it! It brought in new players to PvP which is always nice, after a while you tend to see the same players over and over. I wan’t PvP in GW2 to be more popular, I hate PvE. And wan’t others to enjoy the same.

3: The New System. Anet, what made you think you could Merge S/T que into one thing…. I just don’t understand. I have been getting DESTROYED in competitive pvp over the last 2 days joining in Solo. But when I que’d with my comp, we wen’t 13-0. This is just un fair. You CANNOT have organized Teams. Vs. Solo’d querer’s. This is just plain out un fair. New players coming into PvP are not going to go “practice” Because they already have the illusion they are good, they are pro PVE’rs by now. They wan’t the competitive game, its a nature in us all. Solo que was a good start for them, it was an Even playing field. You cant be having static comps destroying solo que’s its just brutal anet. Just brutal.

4: Opinions fixing this situation: All I ask is Competitive Solo, and Competitive Team que option. Other then the merged que I think the update is great, I hope someone reads this post. Thanks for your time if you did.

Cheers – Zyzz

yeah, it doesn’t make sense to merge them. i am now punished for being a solo player.

Separate solo and team queue

Did you guys even read the post and matchmaking changes?

The new system will try to match you with people of the same rating and team size. As of now, the leaderboards have been reset – which mean that you will be queued with anyone. That be completely new PvP players to seasoned vets from the pro teams. Give the new system some time to settle. It’ll probably take a month until it have gathered enough data to match people accordingly. You probably won’t reach “your” rank until you’ve played about 150 matches.

I for one love the new system!

The old system matched me perfectly against other solo players. I’m all for the new rank system, just not against premade teams. Its not a matter of the system will “try” to match me with solo players.. it shouldn’t be an option for it not to. I am a solo player, not a premade team player its not fair that i would EVER have to face a premade team.

Give them some time man. They completely reworked the back-end of PvP, so things won’t work perfectly until they squish some bugs. Hopefully they’ll get them soon.

You dont seem to understand that there will ALWAYS be a chance i am paired vs a premade team. Before we had solo queue and team queue, you could queue up for team queue as a solo player. There is a reason people played solo queue over team queue. Even after all the bugs and tweaks have been ironed out, there will still be a chance im put against a 2,3,4,5 man premade …. that should never happen to a solo player.

Anet devs literally RE-DID the ENTIRE background mechanics of sPvP. That means, (this might blow your minds), kitten IS GONNA break. We will probably see more bugs than any other patch before, as this patch contained a lot more background technical work. So just Chill out everyone, help the devs fix the bugs and issues by leaving constructive posts about the issues with the patch and be nice to them! This patch is a great step in the right direction, and I’m glad they are actually listening to the community! (anyone else notice more communication between players and devs? I have.) QQ posts leave the devs scratching their heads, wondering what the problem is…. We can avoid this by leaving precise reponses to the issues we encounter, then the problems can get fixed faster! and less stomach aches for the devs and players. tyvm for reading.

Here is the problem, Solo queue was removed. Put it back in and keep all other changes.

They want better matchmaking, so they added more variables and probably feared some population issues. Merging would be the solution here. Otherwise you’d be splitting up both unranked/ranked into solo/teamq which could result in queueing issues.

If pvp ever gets more populated they can always split them up. They’ve been talking about new gamemodes too so when those arrive expect the pvp-population to be even more split.

I’d rather play than wait on a queue.

I don’t know why, but before this update I had pretty good stats and now whenever I enter pvp after the update, my stats are cut in half and I have been getting destroyed in competitive pvp, anyone know why?

l2p issue

No , in my opinion it is not only a l2p issue. The system now works without leaderboard so now you can face player lower than you or more stronger than you randomly. Before the patch there was more stability and so you usually was against someone a little stronger than you or a little weaker than you . I think this situation will end in a month … when the rank system will begin to have adjusted data

As the system gets older and gains more data the pairings will become more accurate. Thats how systems such as this work. The possibility of wider range matchups will get lower and lower. In time the only chance that youl be partnered against people heavily outside your bracket is during low population times. When they cant make you wait that long to find people in your range.

Its a literal case of “It will get fixed with time” as we continue to play itl get better. If we kitten about it and make them change things that dont need to be change we are just setting back the clock.
