Guild Wars 2

This past week my games are not like they used to be. I feel like my teams are constantly outmatched every game with a win here and there. I know everyone thinks this is happening to them but I would really love some insight to prove me right or wrong, as I could see this as being a way to stop me from continuing the climb the boards and basically being impossible for others to catch up. If that is true, it’s really making the game no longer fun for me.

As for my idea, how about making the top 3 players NOT be able to gain a point for a win (if its a game the player should clearly win) and maybe even lose a point if the player lost to a team that they really should have stomped. It would make holding the top spots a whole lot more competitive and fun and get rid of the feel of the boards being just a grind. The whole gaining guaranteed gain a point for a win and sometimes gaining for a loss (also not often do you even lose points for a loss) is a recipe for grind.

PS: Sentinels amulet…? Why. Toughness falls off where as vitality does not which is why I assumed it didn’t exist in the first place. Now tanks have become just…ugh.

Thanks it’s just confirmation bias on my part then. So what about my idea? I’m not sure people could ever pass me at this point… There must be a way to negate grind a bit, or am I actually the best player xD

Oh, I think there was a dev post that for next season there should be tweaks to the grindy-ness of the LB. No details though.

Oh really. I’m not on forums much as it’s always so negative xD

Sorry Justin, but I’m a very active PvPer and I have lost interest in tPvP since a few days/weeks ago I started feeling something different with the matchmaking.

I normally play SoloQ or 2 person party, and before last week, my games felt very balanced in terms of the matchmaking and group fights felt “winnable”, but now I feel I am playing against people with a whole different (higher) skill level… I also see that I’m getting a lot of games against full pre-mades or 4 person parties while im soloQ or 2 person party….. Why is that? Organized groups have a big advantage against solo players even if the solo players are more skilled.

I don’t know if I am biased, right or wrong.. all I know is that this does not feel right…. nor fun… or balanced… it’s starting to make my lose my interest in tPvP which is the most enjoyable activity I experienced in this game.

I think I can help answer Cyanon’s question. Like Justin said there is a whole new influx of players coming in this week so you may be feeling that, but at the same time… why are we playing with new players? As for the versing premades issue, are you sure they are actually premades? There is a way to tell if they are premade or not, and it’s not by “oh they beat my team”. Just hit “b” and right click the enemies names to see if they say “Join Party” or “Invite to party” and that will give you your answer. Also I have personally stopped caring about whether I’m facing a premade or not as I’ve been finding that most are just not very good and communication only helps so much…the players actually have to know what they’re doing in the first place.

I do understand this sense of "a week ago the games felt “winnable” and now it’s one or the other" you definitely have a point there and it’s frustrating and probably what caused me to make this topic in the first place. I’m just rolling with it though and hoping it will pass.

It would be nice if they showed ppl’s mmr in score at the end

They plan on giving us more information about matches. I do not know if any solid details have been given.
