Guild Wars 2

Do we seriously have to play this bs for an entire month? Haven’t past complains been neough?

Feels bad

I do muh dailies in one of em fancy custom arena thangs now

as someone who plays exclusively unranked i look forward to the faster queue pops!

Oh boy, I almost got depressed that I’m bad having such near games in diamond. Now I’m able to keep 3 guys busy for the whole game in unranked pretty much only because they can’t focus properly. Fun times

That and the new skyhammer has so many obstructions i almost feel bad for the guys

Dont see the problem. It is really entertaining to watch some of the things my teams do in unranked.
For example we had an enemy necro standing on the ledge above the point spamming wells, and a rev who was running around below and didnt find a way up. It was hilarious.
And who cares wether you win or not? Who cares if you have a 3 thief comp. Its so much nicer then people kittening up about their pips as if the rank had any meaning.

Anet thought the new maps would be a good enough distraction to have ranked removed for a month. On the other hand, why the hell does the unranked matchmaking have to be so terrible? Why can’t it just use the ranked matchmaking but have no effect on “rank”? … Whatever the hell rank even means in this game (which is sad enough in itself).

I don’t know I find it fun and relaxing even when I lose. There aren’t any tryhards. And when you lose you know it’s hopeless so you PvP for the fun of it.

I must say it’s a lot more relaxing when people aren’t getting enfuriated about pip/streak loss. It’s almost like hotjoin xD

P.S: I don’t know if it is a bug or not but It’s really hard to figure out when the match begins in unranked right now. Unless you are out of spawn you don’t get teleported, there is no caption at the middle of the screen … nothing. Plz look into it. I “afk’d” for over a minute in a game and then I had to carry :c In reality i had no clue the game has started

I don’t even know why we have to fight with Anet over this. It’s like they like watching their ever dying community suffer every chance they get. It’s not even just the removal of ranked. It’s practically ever decision they make. Its honestly disgusting how much help they need to not kill their own game.

Earlier today I was just thinking about how its relieving getting into a game where you know the developers will deliver in every aspect they set out for the game. Blizzard doesn’t need 90% of their community to come to the forums to tell them how stupid a decision they never made was.

Ummm. a) I always see the same 20-30 people around here, that is not 90%
b) Actually they did a lot of things right with this patch. They only forgot a few nerfs.
(and the powercreep, but its starting to look like that is intentional)
c)What decisions is it exactly that you dont like?
d)No matter what game or what time, there is always a part of the community unsatisfied. Its not significantly bigger in guild wars. And there is always, with every single patch in every single game a couple of people going all like:
Thats it. This patch killed the game. Im leaving now. The game will be dead in a month.

Unranked matchmaking evens out the teamy by mmr or am i wrong?
This often leads to totally diffrent skill level within and in the oposing team.
This can be fun and works most of the time. But it also can lead to some bad perceptions. I main ele and play non meta more agressive. Had a match on skyhammer yesterday. Oposing team seemd to have three casuals and two average (e.g. one fire camping staff ele). My team was also full of soso players but it got a blowout… When i did meet the casuals they were dead within 5 seconds and it was irrelevant if all three were on the point they seemed not to mitigate damage.
So i don´t know how mmr in unranked is finaly calculated. I play different classes for testing and training and am usually bad with most. So i don´t have a good overal win rate in unranked. In ranked i only play ele as i do when going to competative wvw roaming.
Its like night and day. I am fully focused on one class since i started Gw2 a year ago to be competative.
So if mmr is overal and i am considered a bad player but pick my ele i will bring doom to any average or casual team ….

The patch was actually good. Of course it feels like only 10% has been done. This makes me worry about the speed till a good diversity is reached.
What we don´t know how mmr and pairings will be changed. This is an important part. It caused the most havoc on pvp ….
