Guild Wars 2

Please remove the dailies already. This is getting ridiculous, every match is filled with the classes that are in daily. It’s not fun, it’s not variable, it’s nothing but annoying. Here’s an example of what it looks like and this it RANKED. We won the game but seriously it’s not fun.

You should be happy you had 3 longbow rangers on your team. I’m sure the other team was even more thrilled to face em. I mean… who wouldn’t want 3x Rapid Fires to the face? Sounds like an exhilarating experience.

But really… your team is just as likely to have class x as the other team. If both teams have 2-3 professions from the daily, tough luck, but you’re on equal ground.

I was just in a match with 5 rangers: 1 shortbow condi, 1 trapper melee, 2 longbow, and me with a/d+s/t.

I say this every day, but people see a ranger and automatically assume they’re glass longbow, and that usually isn’t the case.

odds are, they are a longbow though. I pvp alot, and the majority of the time, its a lb ranger. Not always, but a large majority.

But back on topic. the OP is right. It really isnt fun when you have so many of one class in a match. I wish they would make the dailies random for each account to break it up a little bit.

The absolute worse is when its ranger+thief day. Although a close second is necro+mesmer day. So many minions/clones its just one big joke of a match..

My experience is the majority of rangers aren’t LB. Certainly a look at the ranger forum will show that most of us don’t use LB much in PvP. Not using LB — and my example — sort of shows that it doesn’t matter that they’re ranger by profession, there are a ton of different playstyles. The trapper I ran in to in the example wasn’t even throwing traps, he was melee.

I can’t even confirm the two LB rangers were primarily LB, they were on my team and I didn’t really ever see them since we were patrolling different points.

It doesn’t really matter whether the teams are on equal ground class-wise, because the abundance of the daily classes are overwhelming the matchmaking system. Instead of having equal skill based matches, the system has to deal with so many class x and class y sitting in the queue for too long and throwing them into matches that wouldn’t otherwise happen.

Lmao!
And how did that go?

We won, but not fun.. I just wish there was a minimum entry to join ranked.

obviously someone swapped to ranger on your team… it’s in your chat.

still, 4 rangers is just silly. who seriously thought these dailies were a good idea?

edit: it appears you were all for them swapping to ranger as well… not really sure why you come on here complaining about a match not being fun due to team comp when you helped contribute to that comp being what it was.

Since I only play one class I never finish my daily. Can we at least get another option besides daily profession?

Because it’s all about making anet look bad.

Do daily gatherer or some wvw. We already have it better off than PvEers since we get 2 dailys from doing whatever we want in PvP, whereas a PvEer wouldn’t get a single one most days if all they did was dungeons and zerg train farming.

I fought a team of four longbow rangers and a thief (team Throat Yogurt, lol) today. Both teams were premade, and we were in unranked helping a newer player in our guild l2p. We rolled courtyard, and it appeared that the entire opposing team voted for that map (one player on mine voted for courtyard).

Of course we lost by a huge margin. But it was HILARIOUS. I hate the PvP profession dailies too, but come on, you have to try to find some humor in these things.

You jumped in time and got Wintersday achievements tracked?

Are you playing immediately after the daily reset? Even so, I only find anything close this happening every couple of matches (I play unranked only). Usually it’s just one or two of the ‘Class-of-the-day’.

Yes, this screenshot was taken a bit after reset but it does happen even long time after reset. This was the moment ’I’ve had enough of class stacking’, so I took the screenshot.

To be honest I think class stacking shouldn’t even be a huge issue.. maybe I think outside the box too much… but most of the time it doesn’t even matter much. I’ve had 3 guard, 3 necro teams, 2 thief teams, etc… and if you can play well it’s fine. Why not have a power ranger and condi ranger? Maybe even a spirit ranger. With their powers combined, they can accomplish anything (jk). All it takes is a bit of imagination to make a comp work – maybe not vs. a top team (but ya never know) but surely against normal PvP peeps.

It’s never fun to have those stacked clasees against enemy who had stacked cele classes. I kinda want matchmaking to take current meta into acoount and try to get good comps.
