Guild Wars 2

My question: conquest is fun for you?
I am not wondering you if you win or lose more in conquest or if you’re really bad or really good, i am wondering you if for you conquest is funny. Who could play conquest without rewards as leagues, ranks or similar?

I was diamond in s1 and now ruby with little time for play in ranked. With 748 games played(588 in ranked), i play pvp for play competitive, conquest is not fun to me and stronghold is not competitive as conquest and in my opinion, it has bad decisions(i play for be better in conquest).
Someone more?

Really fun.

I don’t mind RANK or UNRANKED queue. Actually, I have more fun in unranked, since the TEAM MMR vs TEAM MMR give better match up.

I am doing this since 2012.

It’s always new and fresh for me, even if the content is stalling.

1- Playing with players is better than playing alone.
2- Finding build that work vs all meta build is entertaining.
3- Playing with new players to find new way to do things is always fun.
4- Trying my best to win match after match make me queue after queue.

I don’t care about REWARDS.

While there are always frustrating games, overall I find conquest very fun. The trick is finding new ways to enjoy a game-mode that (besides class changes) has stayed very much the same for years.

Personally, my main has been doing well with my team placing very well in the guild challenger leader-board. But those games are starting to get stressful; there’s a lot more at stake queuing with a team in the top 10, as well as much closer matches, as I am now pretty much at the peak division relative to my skill level.

My solution? Use my alts to create a guild to help those people at the lower divisions who are stuck on the wrong end of the MMR curve. While we still can’t win every match, I have found it very fulfilling to help others out, and form a group of players who will play to the end and not give up, making much better overall games for everyone.

NO

Match making is so horrible that it takes all the fun out of the game. Almost every single match is totally lopsided. Either you win with large lead or lose with large point difference. You can almost certain predict the match result after 30 seconds in the game. Imagine if professional sports like soccer (football for us Europeans) would be like this: almost every game game being 10-1 or 1-10, the 1st team which scores wins by a huge margin. Almost nobody would want to spectate it and thus current sad state of spvp is one of the key reasons why GW2 streams have extremely few viewers in Twitch (who wanna watch such mockery of esports?).

I gave up ranked after having 20% win rate in season 2. In season 1 I had roughly 56% win rate. I always solo queue.

Now I tried 3 games of unranked. First game put me against 4+1 premade. A big loss. The next game I had felt some of my team mates were useless. The third game we had just 4 players vs enemy of 5. Several of my enemies were the same players the game had previously teamed me up with. Despite having just 4 players on our side vs 5 enemies, we won 500-328. I had finally chance to fight against some of my earlier team mates, winning them was so easy I could have basically had a cat roll over the keyboard and mouse. What is the point of such games!?!?

Where are the evenly matched games? Where is competitive gaming?

Another big problem of this game is the utterly broken meta. The removal of some amulets did NOT lead to a healthier or more varied meta. The big damage was done at June 2015 trait rework and the release of HoT pushed things even worse. The power creep is crazy. The developers have been unable to tone this down. Elites > core, making this game pay to win. Removal of amulets was a very lazy band aid fix, which actually did not fix anything. Instead of bunker meta we now have “burst first to win” meta, which leads to snowballing. Some professions, like tempest and scrapper are still able to bunker a lot. The amount of CC and damage is sky high. Does anybody expect that a large number of people in the Internet are going to spectate this!?!

While some players are having “fun” because they can win easy (due lopsided match making), all these problems will lead to a seriously diminished player base. I wouldn’t be surprised if 1/3 of the player base is gone for good before this season is over.

Not really, but the whole pvp in this game is really unfun. Balance is laughable bad and matchmaking too. If PvP in this game wouldnt be tied to achievement points I wouldnt touch it at all.
