Guild Wars 2

this is the reason this plyers get to farm rank points for killing newbies they must feel like a kitten or the illusion of being good players after winning this kind of match lol.

actually its boring and the reason all the players with the “illusion of being good” stop playing!

its not fun to stomp a newb team, or face the same team over and over!

MMR is a different team. Justin works on MMR as a server programmer, while designers and artists work on new game modes.

Re: low pop
Reward changes and a few other things coming in the feature build should help with that.

Aren’t you concerned that removing rewards right now will make things worse in the short term? I still don’t understand the logic of removing glory now.

it’s probably gonna be a big patch and they are splitting it into 2, so they are cleaning out the house before they bring the new furniture in….

message body…………..

Reached top 80 in SoloQ leaderboards, now having difficulty staying there cuz I keep getting into the same team as r20 elementalist who is afk for 3 mins from start.

How can matchmaking like this exist 1,5 years after release? Unbelievable.

edit: right after that game, 4v5 cuz our necro ragequit cuz of our guardian running a hammer dps build (useless). The guardian was r13.

Higher on the ladder you are, the harder matches you get. Works as intented (without 4v5 I mean).

I’m far from being a good player (occasionally on top 1000 / 900 in Europe, most of the time in 95-96%) or even being r70 (only r41 at the moment), but I think they should rework the matchmaking a bit.

I know rank is not indicating the skill of the player, but still, we can notice a difference between a r20- player or a r40+ player. I am not raging because of the fact that I lost a lot of games these last two days (but it might be something that pushes me into writing there) but losing because of 4v5 or 3v5 or because of an evident lack of skill some low rank player has is something that annoys me a lot.

I mean, why not having special queues for low ranks (r25 or minus) ? Last time I suggested a r16 player to do some hot join, he replied (I skip all the parts where he insults me with no reason) :
“I won’t cuz my necro rocks, I was testing a ranger build” (yeah ! r16 player testing a ranger build in YoloQ)
and “I won’t cuz I have more points here”. Like, what the kitten ?! I mean you can earn some points in hot join too (and as far as I know, you earn quite a lot of them, like I ranked up from 1 to 35 in HJ, not wanting to annoy yoloQ players).

Or we should display somewhere in the game : “if you want to play, do some hot join and learn your class then, try yoloQ” and “if you want to earn points really fast to get your title to show off in PvE, try trollhammer farm…”.

U forgot to add “current matchmaking system is broken”

Because of responses like yours, you wonder why devs do not want to post more than they do. Childish.

So you want the devs to take more of an interest in what the forums are saying.
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true.

Allot of what the forums say is ‘do more balance changes’…

So back around PAX, the devs put out a major balance patch (I think that was the last LARGE balance patch) to switch up the meta and help get the game ready for it…. guess what the patch was…
Berserker stance and cleansing ire (the start of ham-bow warriors)
Dhumfire.
Buffs to spirits.

So in all seriousness, I’m more afraid of this next feature patch than anything.
The best patch I can imagine will just be unlocks.
When I heard they were focusing on adding unlocks, that’s great, it means they aren’t focusing as much on balance, the game might survive till the end of the year (aka: the next big balance patch).
No offense to these devs, sincerely non-given, just it seems like the more they focus on larger balance changes, the worse the game gets.
