Guild Wars 2

Against my better judgement, I took the plunge and did my placement matches. I lost 6 and won 4. Most were actually pretty close.

I played a core Mesmer. The light armored warrior that is Chronomancer doesn’t appeal to me at the moment.

So, I’m perhaps a bit below average. Not bad for playing against people who are sometimes 25+ years younger in a video game.

So, what’s my point? Well two of them, really.

The matchmaker actually worked reasonably well this time. Granted, this is a rather small sample and I played in the early a.m. Nevertheless, the matches were reasonably good. Well done, anet.

Why then do I find myself spending more and more time in GW1 and in GW2 PvE? The PvP rewards are ample and I enjoy playing.

Yet, I hate the person I become when I log into HoTM. It’s easy to be a good sport when you win.

Here’s hoping ANET continues toward more even games.
