Guild Wars 2

Evan you say rank volatility goes down as you play games right? Well explain why as I progress with games it’s getting way worse then ever:

Exhibit A:

So ranked consists of manipulating really bad game design and mechanics to progress? How exactly is this fair, fun or balanced? Would love if someone could chime on this one and see what they has to say. Btw, this account I’m posting isn’t the one I was playing on so don’t pull those dumb numbers crap again.

We also lost the match 500 – 270

Lel, Rifle Engi. Those were the times.

I’m surprised no one on your team swapped to Ele Support as soon as they saw that team comp. No one to keep those necros alive, Also rifle engi isn’t strong against that comp either. What matchmaking did get right though is putting all the Dragon Hunters on the Dragon’s Despair team.

Actually there is a heavy hitting rifle spec that is good against DH, I was doing actually good in the match same with the other DH. Unfortunately the 3 teammates were just getting dropped on contact.

You can laugh all you want, but there is actually more builds then just “meta battle” cause the current power hammer one isn’t as good with this balance patch.

You can only ask ppl to swap and who knows if they care to listen to any advice this is the Internet after all. Ranked shouldn’t have 5 classes stacked period, that’s not stupid. Do you wonder why this game isn’t in ESL anymore? Cause nobody takes it seriously enough.

There are, most of which are complete garbage. Power Rifle engi included. You’re of course free to run whatever you like, but don’t except to win when you run these kinds of builds.

If you went power hammer with Bulwark Gyro you could’ve single handedly carried that game provided you’re a decent player.

Single handed carry ppl? Gimme a break Anyways thanks I’m down with this forum, community.

Ngl, if I can carry a game on Thief with a really mediocre team, you can probably carry on an Engineer.

The reality: I’m not good at carrying. :P

The reality is if you have 4 bad bad players I’m sorry that’s a total bunch of crap. You can carry yes, but 1 person carry a group of 4 baddies, lol whatever.

Devs and "pro players’ using alt accounts to troll or just anet white knights defending the game. I was trying to be constructive and I’m not wastiing my time here anymore. Where do I get a refund for HOT? I just purchased it and I’m done with this.

We’re telling you what you’re doing wrong and you’re trying to slam the door on our faces.

GW2 is a lot of things right now but from your screen shots, to the very build you’re using… it’s definitely Not Anet’s fault.

Welcome to the PvP forums.

The whole point of the post was the 5 man stacking crap going on. You decided to say it’s cause I can’t carry with the rifle build I decided to use that round. Guess what? I know how to play the hammer too but I’m not talking about that or the build I was specifically commenting on the fact that I think 5 man stacking of ANY class is outrageous in the first place and laughable that it is even allowed in the first place. I’m not wanting only one class per team, but seriously 5 of the same class? That’s rubbish. I slam the door in your face because this community is full of white knights, kitten egos and a place I will choose not to bother spending any time on when I just got here. Way to make someone that joined recently feel welcome… Lol whatever, goodbye waves slams door

@ OP: The volatility anet was talking about was in reference to the amount of league points that you win per match, not the volatility of the matches. In the beginning, you can earn like 50 points a match, then as you play more and more matches, it goes down to like 10 points per match.

Matchmaking is a whole separate beast that it seems can’t be dealt with while we have such a small playerbase in pvp. If they introduce locks on professions and eliminate profession-stacking, it will result in more diverse matches but longer queues (and chances are, much larger MMR gaps as well. Example: a team of 4 people around 1800 points and the 5th is at 1400 because he was the next highest player that wasn’t playing one of the 4 professions on the team)

Unfortunately, I think this is as good as it’s going to get for a while, unless they find a way to bring in a much bigger crowd to pvp.

it’s a bit rich running that ‘build’ then coming to the forum complaining about your team.

i don’t know i miss reading or you guys miss reading ..

he complains how another team has 5 DH stacking

it’s about class stacking

not his team not his build

5 Dragon Hunters on a team called Dragon’s Despair? Glorious.

I will try and hit it from all sides.

1) The other posters are right about your build being ineffective. The hammer gives AOE stuns, and you become a personal shield for many who cant tank. With the gyro you are also much more helpful once again in the team aspect. You lost by you say 270, that means had you changed specs you could easily changed the score from 270 to 400. 1-2 fights greatly change the score of a game.

2) You are right, regardless of build Anet should be placing you and everyone else in the match in fair balanced match up. Another season where Anet really fails horrible at putting classes across both teams. Also match making could be putting people of completely different rankings in a match. I still find it amazing they dont show anything such as a team MMR.

Ill end it with this, HOT specs were not made for PvP. Snowballing has a greater chance now then befoer HOT. Each class moves faster, does more of everything and certain classes are just easier to play.

We are in S6 and Anet has not addressed the new crappy reward system, class stacking, build diversity, team MMR (actually showing the PvP base what kind of matches they are in), among a few things that just pop into my head. If you want proof Anet is completely lost when it comes to HOT specs in PvP.

The wont let thief have quickness when using staff, when HOT first came out it had it and they nerfed it quickly. At the start of S6 they brought it back (new programmers) and then quickly nerfed it.

Quick honest answer, if you havent had much fun in PvP. You wont any time soon.
