Guild Wars 2

There needs to be one. Min rank. Minimum pvp achievements minimum number of points scored in a match anything I don’t care what it is.

Also get a better tutorial system I don’t have the time nor the patience to explain the following things in the minute and a half before the match.
1. Rotations
2. Focus Fire
3. Peeling
4. Kiting

How’s about they just replace their broken MMR system and leaderboards with brackets or ladders, anything to do so that experienced players are not constantly matched up with people who are going into their 3rd match ever.

And let’s be clear that rotations do not equate to skill rotations that maximize dps or are combos, they refer to understanding the minimap and knowing where to be and why to be there

And if you have low mobility, here is your rotation, home and mid~~~~ the end

Well something needs to happen all these pve pros keep pushing far leaving us outmanned on other fights… or doing nothing but zerging orb and dying, etc etc. its getting bad…. it’s really pathetic when you can judge how well your team will do based off the amounts of legendaries they have. The more legendaries the worse off you will be. GG

I say you can predict the match based on 3 things:
-weapon equipped i see so many warriors with GS these days, or mesmer with torch, or guardians with staff and GS…
-shiny style a guy with those glowing metal wings sure is a PvE oriented player, or a legendary GS, tequatl / fractals weapons…
-title every time i see Hero Of Lions Arch i know it’s gonna be bad now, every PvP player should use his champion title (not champion slayer pls) or ransacker / marauder etc…

MMR is fine they jsut should lower start MMR and cap MAX GAIN MMR for first 50 games

so new players dont start on 70 or 80% and move up fast with 2-3 lucky wins

they should start on something like 20% and gain max 1% per win for the first 50 games to find there real MMR

Makes to much sense, will never happen.

Far more fun to see guys that admit they are new and have nfc what theyre doing on the top 2 spot of the ladder LOL.

So i saw this dps guard duel a bunker/banner regen warrior on a fully capped point for minutes and i was like….wow this guy must be one of the best in europe. And guess what; i was right!

Aye, I have (some) PvP experience but I hadn’t actually played tPvP in over half a year and had a grand total of 0 solo Q games played on my account before this week so my MMR should be about as low as it can get.

I’ve now played 15 games in Solo Q over the weekend and pretty much immediately I was up against players with phoenix & dragon finishers – that’s a pretty kitten steep entry level.

Somehow I’m also already up to around rank 850, with my massive experience of 15 games played … this whole MMR thing needs looked at.

The MMR system is terrible, the PvE players in PvP don’t know how to do anything except die, afk, disconnect, cheese, push far, lose every fight they engage. I regret wanting the PvP community to expand; after this experience with Gw2 PvE players skill level after this long.

As time goes on, they will get better. You’ll start seeing it in the coming weeks…the same people that would stand on a point with 3 people already on it will be much more skilled and aware of the intricacies of PvP

Why does this game seem to have a large community of “Militant Casual PvPers”?

You guys complain all day long about scrubs, but you don’t even have 4 people on your friends list to invite to a party? You cant take the time to ask for people in the lobby or in LFG for the roles you need, if you don’t have 4 friends on? You aren’t in a SPvP guild?

Join a SPvP guild, make friends, don’t be afraid to ask for pugs in the lobbies/LFG to fill your party. Your TPvP experience will be increased 10 fold. There is no such thing as a perfect or even near perfect solo que MMR system, its a loterry plain and simple and after a couple hundred games you will aggregate between 40-60% WR, with VERY good players pushing up to around 65%.

Yeah and I don’t think any amount of tutorials or advice will help those people.

I’ve resorted to being a lowlife and calling them to kitten off in “/say” when I see them coming to an empty point I’ve already decapped.

You were in the bottom barrel MMR bracket, were all the new PvE heroes are, when the patch hit?

your posts start to be annoying – WE DONT WANNA PLAY IN A TEAM

got it?

and soloQ is not casuals only – its the only Q in this game which is competive and working

if you don’t want to play in a team then why are you playing a team game?

Romek.4201:

Solo que is more competitive than team que?

I’m not sure where you got that idea. And solo que is casual, you cant call yourself anything but if you can’t be asked to put a team together. Don’t delude yourself into thinking otherwise.

I’m not trying to be an elitist scumbag, you don’t have to be MLG pr0 to get 5 people together and que up, they don’t even have to be your friends. Just ask for the roles you need in the lobby, ask for them to have a mic if you want, and there you go no more “PvE baddies” in your games.

YES it is – because in TeamQ farm full Teams random players or Duo, Triple Teams and get for this a higher rating than what they deserve – and full teams face much more randoms than they face another full team

as long as teamQ is not join with 5 man teams only it is simply a joke and broken

and for the other poster before you – not wanna play in a team has nothing to do with playing a teamgame

i simply dont wanna play/organize a team cause i dont wanna deal with other palyers and there problems like lag/disconects/smokingbreak/afk/playtimes/whining bout builds ….. or simpyl i dont wanna play in ts

i just join the game when i wanna play and not when other people have time

and i dont wanna play with ts … more fun with heavy metal and beer

SoloQ can be more competitive than TeamQ especially for a DECENT player. Players who play TeamQ only are often bad because they have no practice other than destroying PUGs 500-0.

I play for the struggle to win and SoloQ gives me that challenge far more than TeamQ does.

I say you can predict the match based on 3 things:
-weapon equipped i see so many warriors with GS these days, or mesmer with torch, or guardians with staff and GS…
-shiny style a guy with those glowing metal wings sure is a PvE oriented player, or a legendary GS, tequatl / fractals weapons…
-title every time i see Hero Of Lions Arch i know it’s gonna be bad now, every PvP player should use his champion title (not champion slayer pls) or ransacker / marauder etc…

I have all of those things.. I win plenty of matches :p

I also have enough game time to do a lot of gw2 content tho and a good pvp guild to help me be a good pvper as well as a good pve guild to do the living story. shrugs maybe I see your massive generalisation point.

edit: I dont have a torch on my mesmer or a gs on my warrior. So make that the last 2 things you mention.

I think the most important thing is to know how and when to use far point. Some builds can 1v1, but i would say to not bother if there is a guy sitting there. You will have numerical advantage on other points.

When I have 2 Emperors and 2 Heroes of Lions Arch on my team, I know that we are going to be a powerhouse

Exactly. A lot of new players just automatically run to far and fight whatever is there on point. Even if its fully capped and one vs one vs a banner bunker warrior.

i am a shiny style guy and rock my mercenary title over my actual rank title. i really like mercenary better than most other titles but sometimes ill throw on pve titles and ask what to do to throw people off. some peoples reactions are hilarious. also i do keep my champ titles on their respective classes so i wont be a engi using any title other than champ genius which i dont have yet so yeah.

Just what I was thinking when I read that post. Why should I look like a potato if I have other skins available? You could get skins like “those glowing metal wings” in a few hours of PvE btw. That doesn’t necessarily mean the person wearing those is a hardcore PvE player only running circles in a champ train all day long, except the time they are mindlessly speed running dungeons (exaggerations intended). There are people out there who play all game modes depending on what they are in the mood for. It is called “having fun” – some should really try that every now and then…

And I am a jumpy little Asura, so why shouldn’t I use my “Honors in Applied Jumping” over some PvP title that is collecting dust in my title drop down (because it doesn’t fit my character at all). If it’s just to not be berated by others before a match even started, then I have to say: thanks, but no thanks.

I have no problems to accept criticism regarding my PvP gameplay when it is justified, especially because I just joined in again just recently. All kinds of tips are welcome (even those unfriendlier ones). But being judged by someone for the armor or weapons you are wearing sounds rather infantile to me… Sorry, but I couldn’t take a person like that seriously at all.

The only people i want on my team are Heros of Lions arch, Rift Wardens, Goldens, The Sunmaker(Or whatever it is) The Emperor, and best of all Combat Healer. Combat Healers are always unstoppable mosnters, dont even try to fight them.

but i like them more as all this new condi mesmers, engineers or necros with Champion Legionere
