Guild Wars 2

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/soloarena

In any case a few problems:

-You need to bring back 8v8, 5v5 fill up to quickly so you end up with alot of full games in the browser and mostly just custom arenas (in which some will kick you, even though they should have password enable if that’s the case)

-Eles have a ton of regen at the moment, unless you run necro/engi/warrior you can’t win
-Engis condis are just every now, condition removal can’t save you
-Necro fears are just constantly up

-Remove the cap on daily hotjoin for reward track, arenas are not fun since the ques are much longer, some may take 10mins

-Allow option to block the new map, its bad, this game isn’t balanced for TDM, you need trinity to make it work.

-Reward track rewards were just awful. In the 12 hours it took to get to the end, I could of earned 100g but instead I made 5-10g, pretty disheartening, probably will abandon the rest of the tracks if not fixed.

8v8 was the worst thing about sPvP in this game.

Then create better game modes that support it, 5v5s can’t sustain

the reward tracks werent meant to make spvp players rich

1) you get them just by the way while farming for your rank/playing tournaments anyway so its definitly an improvement

2) they are mostly for the skins and armor/weapon stats

3) some new minor goals to work for each day/week depending on how much pvp you play

i like it

The ele part is so funny. He’s not even trying to find arguments, they just have “tons of regen”. Troll thread guys.

Oh right, he is #1 soloQ NA, but let’s forget he only has 24 games played, right? dat joke.

The top 100 is full of people with less than 50 games. Truly it’s working as intended

What they need to do is open more 5v5 maps.

I don’t see it. The only thing I see is Necro-overfear.

Yea…. no.

Just don’t go into a custom arena with TDM in it’s rotation? I mean why is this even here?

Just because you can make money doing something else, does not mean that Reward tracks must do the same thing.

its funny a guy with less played matches than you took your place!

leaderboards are great!

Also he’s a warrior and is complaining how some classes are “OP” while they just have been buffed to become normal and be able to do at least some damage to OP warriors

Just shows how bad the leaderboards really are. I mean really Anet, look at the top three. In what other game does this happen?

10-3
20-4
8-4

I hope Anet can filter out the pve-goes pvp feedback. The limit on hotjoin is good, it might be some incentive to try out arena’s for once.

What are the possible results?

- Lots of people go from hotjoin to solo queue. become good at the game and the population is improved.
- Lots of people go from hotjoin to solo queue. They don’t become good and they get frustrated and leave, either permanently from solo queue or in the middle of games, exacerbating an already existing problem.
- People join solo queue and purposely throw their matches to get rewards quicker.
- People don’t make the transition from hotjoin to solo queue, either due to a lack of information or a lack of interest.

One good outcome, one ‘okay’ outcome (nothing changes), two bad outcomes. Obviously this is not an exhaustive analysis and I’m just looking at the extremes, but generally speaking, I don’t think any good can come from imposing a limitation that wasn’t previously there (you could previously farm hotjoins for all the glory you wanted). Incentives to do solo queue are definitely a good thing, but forcing people who are better suited to Hotjoin into Solo Queue is definitely a bad thing.

Erm, is this a serious post? Do you really think that, after 24 games, the fact that the algorithm put you at the top of the solo queue leaderboard means we’re all going to take you more seriously somehow?

Because I’ll tell you right now, it won’t.

totally agree with the hotjoin parts.

“GW2 PLAY YOUR OWN WAY”
but we’ll remove your favourite mode and put a cap on how much you can play your own way.

ridiculous changes, why do anet always do this?
everytime they do something good they have to do something ridiculously moronic.

Dota 2 also implements an MMR system, which takes precedence over games played.

Every time a new account gets “calibrated” under matchmaking, the calibration period lasts 10 games. Over these games, the system takes in your win/loss ratio, damage dealt, kill/death ratio (akin to “points scored” here), etc.

Thus, some people can get calibrated to 6k mmr (the elite players can do this with fresh accounts and after 10 games) and be better than players who have played 2000 games with only 5k mmr.

The system actually works very well, and multiple attempts to prove it wrong have actually been de-mythed.

Likewise, I am guessing the GW2 leaderboards take in much more than simply games played and the win/loss ratio. If a player was the highest scoring member of his team (for every single game) by a long shot and had a 8-4 record, I can see him being seen as more skilled than a 10-0 person who got carried the entire way.

That quote has been completely twisted and turned to the point of losing all meaning.

Wow an “I got rank 1 solo q and here’s my opinion on the game” thread.

To clarify, I’m playing dps guard, not warrior
