Guild Wars 2

This happened a few days ago, but at the time it was just really annoying. Now, I still haven’t reached Legend because of one rude teammate and I wanted to rant a bit.

As some of you know I play mostly War. I used to play almost every class but HoT has made me despise the gameplay of every other class. I occasionally get heat for being Warrior but I also have plenty of players I see consistently that like having me on the team for my high damage. Getting dissed is fine, but when you’re 3 points from winning the game that would get you to Legendary and a Druid intentionally refuses to support your Lord while it’s being rush purely because I was a Warrior is probably the worst case of BM I have ever experienced.

But it gets worse, I got teamed up with that same player THREE MORE TIMES that play session, even with taking breaks. Every match after that first one he would just go AKF. I faced him a few times and then he would play, and he wasn’t even that good despite being Legendary. I don’t have a ton of time to play so just quitting for the night wasn’t what I wanted to do.

I am now stuck around 6 pips from Legend because every time I start getting on a win streak I suddenly get paired with players that make the worst decisions. I’ve had a Mes say “no1 go far,” which was the right choice, AND THEN GO FAR RIGHT AT THE START! SO of course we lost the mid fight purely due to the numbers disadvantage. What’s worse is that while I was able to make it a fairly close game via mob stealing, that Mes kept going far the whole game.

Even when I team up with people I know are good I always get at least one player that thinks that going far at the start is a good idea. I’ve also gotten more players that don’t even try, once again based purely on me being a Warrior, and then we end up having a fairly close game but by the time they start trying it’s too late.

Yes, I am perfectly aware that Warrior is not the best class, but giving up or not trying just because there’s a War is the most dumbfounding thing I have ever experienced in this game. I’ve won games where our team had 2 Warriors and a thief against a full meta team because of smart play. Going 3 far 2 home when you have a comp like that is great, but it worked because we agreed to do it. It’s when you say “no one go far” and then someone does it anyways is when you lose games that you shouldn’t.

So yah, this is just a pointless rant and I’m sure I’ll get plenty of “it’s your own fault for being War” or “lol [Vial of Salt],” but I just want to get it off my chest. I all want is to get to Legendary and take a break and play PvE. Unfortunately, it’s likely that the players doing this aren’t on the forums. This frustration turns me into an unpleasant and whiny person, so a big thanks to those who have been partying with me.

well you have to decide whats more important for you , getting to legendary or sticking to your warrior because im sure you will meet other players who simply hates having a war on their team and will go afk after the first fight

i remember seeing a full signet warrior at the end of ruby
i call out to him mainly due to his full signet
the next time i seen him, he no longer runs full signet

i also notice bad rev, i call out to him and he got mad
but after a few match, he changed to other class. lol

if u doing everything right as a warrior, it shouldnt be a issue
u can always screenshot and report that player for intentionally throwing the match.

In solo que if you are not willing to play different classes you gonna have bad day bc most ppl will switch to have best possible comp vs enemy Il give you example when enemy has Mesmer I don’t play revenant , if we don’t have ele I will play ele, when enemy have 2 else I will play power rev or Mesmer , also Mesmer when alot of revenants

going far is not a bad idea, specially if they know what they are doing. mesmer and scrapper are very good at going far, because of being great at 1v1 or even 2v1, a mesmer can drop portal having someone sit and wait at far till portal is gone. same with scrapper, has very high sustain that it can tank and delay 2 players at a given time. that being said if someone go far and fight someone there. that would be 4v4 at mid. unless u guys sucks so bad u all wipe before the home guy has a chance to run to mid.

well this is all on the team not reacting or giving help where it was needed by the sounds of it , the mesmer could of Abbandoned far to help at mid with a portal move.

some times going for a full cap is the worse thing a player can do when one point is contested and onther is under attack , its better to decap to neutral then move to support keeping 1 node ,1 contest 1-0 cap rate .

leaving a node as neutral also encourages 1 opposing player to move to that node making 4man fights into your teams favour (just hope to god your front point offensive or defence doesn’t be stupid and move away from a 3vs4)

i don’t see it often but people don’t neutralise a node only , they risk a full cap while thier team gets hit hard and dies.

the fact you play a warroir has nothing to do with it , they can fill a role and from the sounds of it you do a good job filling yours.

mistake i often do, when i was matched against similar skilled or better skilled opponents.

mid match,
i respawned,
i ignore going mid to help,
i go far,
no one at far,
i decap far,
i cap far,
i think my team mates got murdered at mid,
cos as i was finishing capping far,
2 came to far and murdered me,
they decap and cap far.

if i went to help mid, things may be different.

Not always. You could your teammates why didn’t they disengage and split Home/Far to keep a 2 point advantage. If mid is lost mid is lost. You cap sides and then when they leave it open you take it.

I feel your pain OP. It seems you get some teams that people don’t talk before a match to game plan, rotate incorrectly, kitten and moan about classes, and generally are terrible players. There’s nothing you can do in these situations b/c no matter how hard you carry they suck and you lose.

full capping far when your team is losing mid fight is a text book noob mistake.

it takes you like an additional 25 secs (depending on class mobility) to full cap a neutralized node and get back to mid.

decap it and jump back to mid to help your team.

They didn’t accomplish even a cap denial and I never saw a useful portal once the whole game. Also, it’s totally on them when they say for no one to go far, only to go far themselves. It was only close because of mob stealing, the Mes was hardly present for any team fight.

I would take a even fight on mid over one player pushing far 9 times out of 10 if I get minimal communication before the match starts.

I’ll maybe peel off mid to decap far but I won’t try and take the whole thing because it takes so long. This mes would just let us get murdered at mid while sitting far then have to run or die and lose it in seconds.

I agree with you, going far at start is not a good idea unless you are a druid.
I recorded games that I reach legend each season, and here is a mesmer just like you mentioned above.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHHgTdpJ6jk
He keeps going far and die over and over again and in the end he said something funny.

Anyway keep trying, the season is going to end soon.

You need to stop playing for a bit any time you lose more then one game in a row.

This racism needs to stop.

I’m seriously waiting for the time Warriors become the ultimate killing machine meta, and I can refuse everyone else for not being Warrior.

Our time will come my friend. Patience.

For all we know that guy said no one go far because he was 2v1ing the whole game and carried you guys.

Sorry man. When I lose 2 in a row, I assume I’m tilting, so I switch accounts and classes (usually to a warrior!) and just start fresh.

Nope, was watching the map, didn’t deny them from capping home, ran at the first sign of trouble, couldn’t decide whether they wanted to be mid or far and as a result ended up being late to every team fight.
