Guild Wars 2

1.) Matchmaking is worse. I just fought 5 matches as solo, 4 of them against the exact same high level premade, and the other one with a necro on my team that confessed to being new to the game…gg. This never happened before the update. Before at least I had solo arena, now I’m literally just going to wait for those players to log off before I play anymore.

2.) The ready button has not significantly reduced 4v5’s. I dare the devs to look at their data. Playing is way less convenient now, and it has not fixed anything.

3.) The leaderboard system demands that players grind. It reflects playtime above all else. There is no difference in reward between high level MMR matches and low level MMR matches. Obviously there should be.

These are all valid concerns.

On paper, the patch was the most significant improvement to PvP that has been seen since Tournament Tickets were overthrown.

It hasn’t lived up to the theorycraft in any way. The multiple matchmaking fields that were added (Profession MMR, balanced # of professions, balanced number of premade vs. solo queuers) aren’t working as intended (or at all?)

The solo queue playstyle experience took significant steps backwards. Without these crucial matchmaking fields working properly, it’s just suicide to solo queue into ranked as an intermediate to high MMR player.

There’s not been any communication from Anet as to why the ranked tPvP experience is not living up to the pre-set expectations, maybe there will be talk on that soon.

Without being overly emotional or exaggerating, I wouldn’t be opposed to a full roll-back of the matchmaking & separate queues for Solo and Team queues. The map vote system is great though, props to whoever made that happen..

theres no need to look at any data… any1 who has played this system knows its bad.

The devs stated themselves that a roll back will not occur unless things continue to be bad for 6 months/year. Currently there’s plenty of room for improvements; things will change after every season when they view the data.

When they look at the leaderboards I hope they know it’s gone south. If they give it a thumbs up I would cry and punch babies.

I always troll people I’m rabbit rank. So you never know if people are telling you the truth without checking.

That being said I did see a bunch of high rank finisher as a rank 30.

Well, the update also included some really good things for me.

• 4vs5 are reduced significantly at least for me; I don’t agree with your statement, that they occur as frequently as before.
• I really like the unranked queue. With two matchmakings I can have one (unranked) for messing around / playing with twinks and unexperienced friends, and ranked where I just want to give my best.

agree with all.

My enthusiasm for pvp has dropped to an all time low since the patch. For me it was one step forward and two steps back. All they had to do was add the voting and ready system and I would have been happy.

That being said, this is just the test season, so I’m hoping things improve next season.

They should change unranked to solo q only and let people q from outside HoTM. Take me out of the que if I go through a loading screen and make me reque in every new zone if you want. But let people leave HoTM and que.

Wow. 100% agree with this post. It is spot on. I also would like to see a complete rollback at this point.
