Guild Wars 2

First game I play now that weekend has started.
Quick run down.
Game does its matchmaking thing, for people to ready up.

9 checkmarks are selected.
Timer goes away.
Map selection begins.
Match ready up 4 of us on team
Game begins 4 of us on team.

Problem. System registered only 9 people and still began the game.
Analysis. Angry customer. System is STILL broken. People working the system aren’t under enough pressure to FIX there kitten. When population declines CONSIDERABLY and profits decline CONSIDERABLY that’s when they’ll fix it, but timing is everything.
Fix your kitten too late, doesn’t even matter anymore.
Nobody cares you fixed your stuff 2 months later. All they remember is that it takes you TWO MONTHS to fix kitten.

All you have right now are BRAND LOYAL players, once all the people who are LOYAL leave, you have nothing. All those potential players most likely tired of your slacking and left to better games. You can notice it by the lack of players in the pvp community.

GW2 PvP developers need to start working with SERIOUS URGENCY because leaving stuff broken isn’t going to help you grow, and if you didn’t know by now.

This game never ceases to amaze me. I come back in hopes of good games, everything has been fixed by now….. First game, crap game. Most customers leave after crap like that. Like I said, all you have now is loyal players, we will dwindle away if things don’t get fixed.

You know what they say “people can only put up with it so long…..”

(Game time is there, go into your system, figure out what bugged, and fix it)

Edit: Matter of fact, I’m not even going to play another tpvp game, that really kittened me off, and I got better things to do than waste my time getting angry at your broken tpvp.

I was doing more thinking, and had a thought that since a lot of people know dishonor is turned off, maybe he intentionally didn’t join the game or whatever if he did accept, he wasn’t in game at start and never showed up entire match. Dishonor needs to be turned on, I don’t care if people have bad connections, they need to stop playing then because that bad connection or whatever excuse period, costed me and 3 other players a loss and left all 4 of us frustrated because of it. You really want to make 1 guy happy that he can dc whenever and thus in turn cause 4 people to be angry? That’s a stupid approach.
I’m done, I might play later but tonight that’s it, no more of this crap. Not in the mood to play the game normally and take screenshots of more crap I expect because lately I’ve been seeing a lot of crap happen in this game and its come to the point where I expect the game to be crappy.

Do you as a developer like to know your game is crap constantly by the community?
Do you like to be referred to as, take months, years to fix kitten by the community?
If I was a developer I sure would do something about it to change how the community thought of me.

Especially when the issues are not of the gameplay as in Skyhammer/Courtyard sucks. But when the issues are, 4v5, bad matchmaking, duo que.
Other issues, ‘when is the tournament going to be on youtube’

I’m seeing a consistency here, leaving system issues unchecked, dragged out too long before a fix. Also, tournaments being interrupted (we got such and such, so cant air it anymore, woops such and such happened, lost the videos). I’m not no big twitch fan, but I never heard of games like StarCraft and LoL make excuses like ‘our biggest final tournament… got ping bombed, sorry cant air anymore… we lost the videos due to xyz’.

I don’t even remember when you guys said when you’d do your dishonor turn on kitten, but yall need to stop waiting and turn that kitten on. Yall wait too kitten much, that’s your problem serious. ‘Just wait it out guys, we need to see xyz of leaderboards first, so keep waiting. just wait out the matchmaking, we need to see xyz, keep on waiting on, keep on waiting guys we need to see bunch of complex algorithms before we turn on dishonor, keep on waiting it will be out sooon!’.

Again, see screenshot, game registered 9 people (I know because I counted checkmarks (9) and watched timer), 1 guy realized 4v5 left immediately after game started became 3v5, I just said kitten it and pathetic 0 500 loss, not because of skills, but because bad system. No enforcement on system. No punishment system, that guy that left, wouldn’t have mattered anyways because we still lose but the fact that he left knowing that he wouldn’t get punished, goes to show how lax leaving a ranked match is and how that’s not good for the game.

no more proof of stupid stuff happening cuz I aint playing anymore today, sick of crap after crap. Funny how when I went on that 17 game losing streak of being just sore luck with everything possible, I lasted that long to keep playing, but now just 1 piece of crap, the very first game, and I’m done. #done

You know it’s bad when the dude who’s been trolling all the QQ threads in this forum starts QQing himself.

Sorry to burst your bubble buit I seriously doubt profits will go down if PvP players quit.

You just helped me find the bug!

Edit: Sorry, that was a bit unprofessional. I’ve just been trying to track it down for days.

Got to love it when a thread like this helps you find a bug that’s been there…hiding.

Thank you uberkingkong.8041

Quick run down.

(tl;dr)

Amazing that something good came out of this :o Impressed. Good work.

LOL at the chat

Dude you’re famous

Honestly, at this point all signs point to a player skill issue

“Game time is there, go into your system, figure out what bugged, and fix it”
This is where I stopped, because you clearly do not know what you are talking about.
It,s easy from your viewpoint to snarl and QQ all you want. To you it seems as easy as "Oh, they forgot to check the “make sure there is 10 players in game before it begins” button.
Let me tell you a small little truth:
That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works. Sometimes, even despite their tests and all their work, bugs still manages to slip in. So yes, you wait very patiently, because they are working very persistently on the issue.
I don,t know what you think Devs are doing, but you are ignorant and arrogant.
It’s not as abvious as an unchecked box, an infinite loop or or something that won’t even cause the code to work properly.
It,s just a little thing that changes another little thing that causes a problem as big as this.
And this small problem, while we, from the player perspective, can see it very clearly, the devs, in their thousands and thousands amounts of lines of code, may not. Because it’s so kitten small. Or they see it, they know exactly what it is, but it’s part of something so important that removing this bug would cause a part of the system to fall and crumble. They need to workaround all that.
It takes time, because if they do things wrong, they might mess the whole thing.
I see you coming with. “That’s why testing exists”
Testing can only bring you so far. The real test will be with the community and no it won’t always work.
Players will ALWAYS manage to kitten something because that’s how players are. They always manage to slip in the crack you think they won’t go in.
So yes they are aware of it, yes they are working on it, but guess what, programming do take time, suck it up. It happens.
So kitten up, deal with it or get out.
That’s how amazing it is. You have a choice!

Played 2 games today. LOST kittening both of them.

Not by 100 or 200 points.

But by 300+ points.

Stupid system, I’m done again for the day. I got better things to do than LOSE matches all day long.

I’m not repeating that 17 losses in a row. Such waste of time. I have over 3k+ games played, shouldn’t be on losing streaks.

How do you go on a 17 game losing streak? I mean I’ve had my fair share of losing streaks when I soloq, but 17 is a bit much. I really think you need to reconsider, you might be part of the problem, and look at your own gameplay. Either that or you’re just the most unlucky person ever!

well the matchmaking is back to fast but kittened games so

“I’m not repeating that 17 losses in a row. Such waste of time. I have over 3k+ games played, shouldn’t be on losing streaks.”

At that point I wonder if the problem does not lie with your skills… but that’s just my opinion

I don’t think it is his skills at all. He is a tenacious player. I’ve seen him on the boards over the years. He doesn’t give up and seems to keep joining queues even when the matcher is not matching.

If he was being thrown against high-MMR teams that are on Teamspeak repeatedly, I can see him joining again and again, and getting the same result.

I think anyone making the “you must suck” argument (in so many words), really don’t know how bad it gets when there are several top tier teams in Q and solos are being fed to them game after game for hours and hours.

I admire him for being honest on the forums. Lots of people would hide the losses for fear of exactly these “you must suck” comments that ALWAYS appear in these cases. But by being honest he helps the rest of us know that it is not just us.

80%+ Winrates from queuing into unranked solo are possible, so I think your luck is to blame man. Either that or you’re playing downedstate glass Warrior/Ele/Engi

Hell I still can’t figure out why the autojoin lootbox appears during ranked/unranked matches……and then players just end up leaving after the autojoin timer…..times out.

Maybe I need to rant like the OP so it gets at least enough attention to be entertainingly view-able for a weeks worth of jacking around time at work.

Exactly. If top teams are stomping all night, then 5 people are getting stomped each time. Those that hang in there and keep trying can easily rank up 17 losses if there are mostly top MMR teams in the queue.

uberkingkong.8041:

with SERIOUS URGENCY because leaviaste my time getting angry at your broken tpvp.ause we still lose but the fact that he left knowing that he wouldn’t get punished, goes to show how lax leaving a ranked match is and how that’s not good for the game.
g to keep playing, but now just 1 piece of crap, the very first game, and I’m done. #done

I think you just wanted to quit and were looking for an excuse to do so.

And fyi the reason most people teamswitch to the winning team, is to get the AP from the PVP conqueror category where you need 200 wins with each class.

Ya, I would say just pure unlucky. Whether or not he is greatly skilled, you eventually either carry your team or get carried for a win. 17 games in a row is a LOT. You realize that almost 5 hours of game play? Dedicated to wiggle your way out. Every player you add to your party will help out the uneven odds greatly. That is if you have freinds that are decent as well.

17 loses can happen even when you a good. A friend of mine was constantly 98%+ (mostly numbers) in the old system and got 14 loses in a row 9 of which were 4v5 or 3v5 and 3 were vs 5 man pre-made guild

Something is really bad in the new system. I play with two friends. Both have less then 50 games played. We play and we lose the first three games. Some games were fun and we lost like 4xx:500. Third game was 2xx:500 and after 3 lost games in a row we got a game vs a top team. I know the names from the soloQ ladder ( I played top 200 and all 5 are known players from the top 100). It was a 5 man group and we are bad and only 3. At the end of this evening we got a match vs a group with the current No 2 player from the ladder. I do not know if the was solo or in a group. But it looks like the games become worse if you play more games in a row.

How it is possible to lose some games and get top teams or top opponents instead of less skilled opponents?

If this happens to OP I can imagine why he lost 17 games in a row.

And we played from 8 p.m until 9 p.m. CET. This is prime time in EU.

Main problem I have is that the matchmaking system & how it groups teams seems to be horribly bad.

I’ve seen teams where nobody even had an achievement title get put up against teams with multiple (3-4) PvP title holders that ended up being 500 to less then 100 (if they were that lucky).

It wouldn’t be so bad if it had a better way of keeping track of who was good vs who was not & who was just plain new then scrambled them accordingly. Or if it only put higher end players in games with higher end players (though I suspect the later would make time between games much longer).
