Guild Wars 2

.. after a week of inactivity. I’ve only realised how bad the division boosting due to prior matchmaking was. I had team mates with legendary badges playing like ambers, terrible. Although the current match making doesn’t correct the damage that has already been done this season, I sincerely hope it fixes the issue of boosting next season. So kudos to anet.

I wouldn’t want amber boosted trash on my team wearing the same badge as me ever again. So embarrassing.

Yes its totally mixed or some say messed up :-). I am only emerald but the player skill diffrence is huge. I solo. Played 3 matches yesterday. Two were a mess and at least the last one was nice. I got 3 reapers on my side and they riped the enemy apart :-).
I always try to make a strategy at start depending on what i see in my team. But after a while its ends in chaos. Like yesterday i got 2 thiefs 1 ele and a druid. I thought dam ….
Did write OK we go risky with that setup thievs mobile take close an far we try 3 player center 2 ele + druid is a bunker force. It worked for about 2 minutes.. then it got totally uncoordinated and swung in a loss. Without speech communication a pug mostly totaly looses focus :-(.

An embedded speech client that links a party or the pvp team (Of couse its controled in plyer settigns) would be great. You go solo and when the match sets up and you have it turned on you get speech linked. After the match its off again.

The problem I wouldn’t say was “division boosting” it’s that people have no clue how to rotate in a bunker meta, it literally baffles me, but at the same time it doesn’t. Rotations are very intricate in this cancer meta that you have to literally know matchups i.e: you see your ele/mes holding 2 people which are a mes, ele, or ranger; never plus that fight under any circumstance, rotate to a different point, win that matchup then snowball the bunkers, but this game is really complicated.

If you are waiting for the rainbow at the end of the tunnel for next season it’s more of the same, except easier, people will stomp teams of same division and get a pip streak!

Wow, you put exactly what I had thought perfectly. With the bunker meta, rotations are significantly more important and difficult as losing one point basically means losing the game at high level play. At the same time, difference in mechanical skill is greatly reduced by how over-powered and easy the elite specs are. A pity, since your mechanical aptitude could make up for your inept rotations by repeatedly winning match ups/team fights you’re not supposed to in the previous meta but now it’s the opposite.

It really baffles me as to how people are still unable to recognise the basic elements of the game such as when you’re supposed to +1, how you’re supposed to engage a team fight etc after playing thousands of pvp games though. You would think they would learn from their mistakes and experience but I guess some of them just keep doing the same thing over and over again and have the wrong habits hammered into them.

Yea i play ele. And if i hold a point and a guard or druid attacks me i always shake my head if someone comes to +1. And if another ele or mesmer comes its a usually stalemate so no hurry … If a reaper comes to me its diffrent. There is a risk i get killed and revenats an scrappers are powerful too but usually need much longer.
