Guild Wars 2

Okay, basically, if people pick skyhammer or the RNG picks skyhammer, I don’t want to play the match. I would rather do ANYTHING else in game, than play that map. I don’t care if we’re winning or losing, i can’t stand Skyhammer at all.

But once the map is picked, I can’t leave. the button in the corner of the minimap doesn’t work, alt+f4 doesn’t work, logging out doesn’t work, even changing characters sticks you in Skyhammer.

I don’t care if I get a dishonor debuff that forbids me from playing pvp for an hour. I don’t care if I have to play other characters for awhile.. but is there a way to continue to play GW2, without having to play that map, when your teammates or the opposing team pick it?

Because I would honestly rather use sandpaper on my gums, than play skyhammer.

I don’t care about winning skyhammer, even when I handily win it, I don’t have any fun.

The map is pure cancer.

I refuse to play it.

NM, I see Veewee agrees.

This is the reason why so many unexperienced players play in Ranked Arena runining the gameplay of experienced players. Cause they dont want to play on kitten maps like Skyham, Spirit Watch or Courtyard, and cause they also want to see the Standard Models.

And sadly all this is only abailable in Ranked Arena.

I’m of the opinion that Unranked Arena should not have any of those maps and should include also the Standard Models.

If people want to play those maps, then please go play them in Hot Join.

Or lets say more clearly: Unranked Arena should be the same as Ranked Arena expecpt for the Ladder Point gain part.

Even if a lot of unexperienced players are playing in Ranked Arena, you should never face them as an experienced player since the match making system is in place.
From my own experience, most players just overestimate their skill level, and just blame the other players.

I can tolerate spirit watch, and while I think Courtyard should be not in the same map selection because the game mode is entirely different, I can tolerate Courtyard. In fact I find Khylo to be my second least favorite map, though I can still tolerate playing it (Treb can function as badly as the Cancerhammer, but it’s easier to dislodge someone from it and they can’t just fear you off the edge, and you can destroy the treb and remove it from play at least for awhile, Cancerhammer cannot be destroyed so either you’re using it or someone else will)

But Skyhammer, I don’t think I’ve ever had fun in it.

Even when I played a Turret Engi in that map and just let my turrets chase off everyone who tried to take the hammer from me and I cheezed the entire match, I didn’t enjoy it. I felt cheap and dirty.

I dont like skyhammer either, but leaving the match cant be the solution. What if i dont like forest map? Other may dislike foefire? The map is in choice of the players, so take whatever is choosen and try your best. Its a mans world dude!

Anyway, if you totally cant stand skyhammer at all, go ranked or hotjoin.

If you quit you have to sit out of GW2 for about 10mins/until game finishes. Just read the forums for a bit and log back in.

I don’t mind spirit watch at all, but skyhammer/courtyard are just awful. I immediately drop out of the match. I could care less about dishonor when it comes to those two trash experience maps.

Cause the Matchmaking System is flawless right? LOL

It would be much easier for me to know where my Skill Level is compared to the rest of the community if I could see my own MMR number, knowing it is a number between 100 and 5000 and knowing it can go up and down depending on my game Performance.

Why can’t we see our own MMR number? I mean just ourselves. Not show it to anyone else.

Truth has been spoken…

Devildoc: don’t play unranked if you don’t want to play on Skyhammer. Ranked has the same rewards and the matchmaking is the same.

Well, my main issue with not playing ranked, is that I’m not playing sPVP for competition, but just casually, to have a little fun and earn some rewards (it only stays fun for a few matches before I get bored too). I figure that ranked will be much more competitive, which doesn’t appeal to me at all, especially if it involves a more toxic community, that and, because I’m not really competitive about it’ I’m worried about doing poorly and screwing up someone else’s rank that IS taking it seriously. If there are actual consequences to losing, I don’t want to be a bad teammate. If there are no consequences for losing (such as unranked), I don’t care, because if they picked skyhammer I don’t want to be their teammate anyway.
