Guild Wars 2

This is the feeling. This. is. it.

If you’re a GW1 vet who played Random Arenas a lot, you’ll know what I mean. This is that feeling. that feeling of loss when you’ve gone 24 wins and lose that final match, that feeling of success when you finally finish that 25 win streak, that feeling of competition when you decide it’s time for Team Arena. This. is. it.
Barring all bugs and other issues, I think the pip system works when it “accurately” calculates wins and losses. There’s no need to overhaul it too much apart from fixing that little issue of me getting punished even when I win because my teammate got a random dc a few seconds before the match ends (I’m still kittened about that)

Anyway, good work on bringing the competitive spirit back into Guild Wars Anet. I’m actually trying to race my friends to the next Division and checking where other players who don’t spam team queue are, relative to me. So thanks and hope you fix the annoying issues soon. #pleasefixthestompbug

You’re enjoying the game even with all of the imbalanced classes and bunkerfests…..?

More power to you, I suppose.

Random arena is a fitting name for current matchmaking

More and more premades everyday. Soon, it’ll be random premades.

Ceimash,

Check back in on Dec. 15th, a few weeks, and tell us if you are still as happy.

Why? What’s happening on Dec 15?

The game can be pretty painful if you don’t know what you’re doing but, thankfully I know how to beat every single class in the game atm. The only problem I have is stomping them without the bug telling me “nope”.

The funny thing about RA was, at the end of the 25 wins, you’d be sent into Team Arena to begin a torturous journey through deep cheese but when you lose, you can choose to go back to RA or form a team in TA.

I need to make a full post to stop the rose tinted glasses. Anybody that considered RA, actually balanced was a scrub, and always will be, because they could not compete at a higher level which was HA or GvG. RA became a stupid grind sync fest because the only people that made it that far just synced queued to rank 9 or 10 glad, if you solo’d into that mess you were a masochist like this system is now, so let’s stop being delusional for once.

Back on topic:

The way I found playing with better people was what this games soloq was, prove yourself to actually be better, get pm’s and prove yourself again/ learn team mechanics. This repeat of gw1 mechanics disgusts me, since the people that try to relate to it were the same that were getting farmed in that game too.

People use sync ra, so they were kinda premades.

I guess I look past the name tags and guild names and just see A CHALLENGE. And I want to punch that challenge so hard, that the ripples will be felt by all the challenges everywhere.

Nothing special is happening on Dec. 15th. It’s just a few weeks ahead. See how things feel by then.
