Guild Wars 2

As I understand it, pips can be added/subtracted thusly:

+2
+1
-1
-2

Where is the zero?

If zero (neutral) pips are possible, I haven’t seen it in 5 days… and I’ve had plenty of close matches.

The zero solves many of the problems with the current system; especially the 50% win rate requirement. Losing streaks wouldn’t sting so bad.

For example, I would strive to reward/penalize players at the following rate (un-scientific):

+2: 5%
+1: 40%
0: 10%
-1: 40%
-2: 5%

Also, it should be made clear to players what they need to do each match for the corresponding pip reward/penalty.

All I do is ranked PVP, and I’ve been playing for 1.5 years; nearly 4,000 matches played. As it stands right now, I’ve been stuck at T2 Emerald for the past 2 days (soloq). I’ll be shelving the game until a more rewarding (read: less penalizing) system is put in place.

I don’t post on the forums much, but I’m leaving this here because I care about the game.

i think they changed something.

when the ladder points (now known as pips) were first introduced, zero pips were possible if you scored at least 400 points.

Zero Pips is still possible. I just got them yesterday when someone of my DCed/quit. It was the only time it happened to me, so maybe it is restricted to 4v5 scenarios.

I have lost a game without losing a pip before, if the other team is heavily favored to win that can happen. If I would have won that match I would likely have gotten +2

Yeah that’s because it’s counted as a forfeit. Otherwise I’ve never seen a neutral pip game.
