Guild Wars 2

Before I say anything else, I want to say that this post is 100% serious, no sarcasm. I want to make this post, because basically all anyone on this forum likes to do is whine about this that and the other.

So, I’ve played an obscene amount of PvP this summer. I spent a majority of my free time playing guild wars 2 and soloqing ranked. Why? Because it has been fun as hell. Now, I’ve had some poor match ups here and there (aside from disconnects or quitters) where it seems like one of the teams is stacked with good players and the other just doesn’t match up. It happens. But. I am willing to say that a majority of the matches I’ve had recently have been great. Both teams are performing at about the same rate, making for a very competitive and fun match.

I want to give an example of what I mean. I dislike losing just as much as anyone else. However, say there was a match where I lost by 200 points. This seems like a pretty big gap, and that one team had clearly been dominating. However, I’ve had matches where this occured, where the fights on the map could go either way (equal skill) and it was more about who was positioning themselves on the map better to set their team up for success. For example a high mobility class constantly getting decaps and keeping their team in the lead. Very skillful play going on. And I like it.

I’ll reiterate what I said at the beginning of my post, I am 100% serious in what I say here. I am enjoying pvp, and enjoying these matches. So Anet, thank you for what you are doing. Whatever changes, or lack thereof, which have been made with MMR or whatever you want to call it, have been working. Mostly. Keep up the good work.

i’m 100% serious. i haven’t queued up for a match (minus strong hold beta) in ages because the matches are too long + queues are too long + imbalanced fights = 0 fun

wasting an hour in ~3 unbalanced fights is a terrible exp

at least in hotjoin, no queue, less premades, find a better server if fight is imbalanced = less time wasted and some fun

I agree with the tpvp – the matches are ALWAYS wieghed to one side.. Mesmers by far need to be nerfed. Just qued into a match – other team – 5 mesmers. really anet. As far as i am concerned – should be NO invisibility in pvp. Only thing a mesmer has to do is go invisbile, do 3 clones – hit mind rack – and your dead… THIS IS NOT what pvp is about.. there is no challenge – no skill whats so ever involved. As for the the team line up – is straight out ridiculous – maybe once a day to i get in a match where the fighting is actually fun and challenging – with close scores — other than that – its always ends up 500/ 300 and below..

We get it. You can’t beat anyone with stealth, so mesmers, thieves, rangers, engis are all impossible for you. Serious suggestion: you might like PvE more.

This ^. I have no problem with mesmers what so ever and I don’t even play mesmer in pvp. All you have to do is learn to play against mesmers. PU is strong but not really that great in conquest anyways so I don’t mind it. PU condi mesmers can by annoying tho.

the game is more balanced then ever before and no nerfs or buffs needed for ANY class out there. the game is awesome in it’s current state, no need for any buff or nerf anywhere
