Guild Wars 2

so, i see all the teams getting 1 missing player sometimes, then in those teams most players just start going afk right at start and are like: oh one missing player, we lost anyway, see u in the next match’ they get 5-15 points for rewards then go afk on spot.

u CAN win 4v5 fights , so stop doing that.

yes ik, the chances of winning are very slim. but still, its possible if u have the luck of enemys beeing newbys (in this case they were pretty good actually, the thiefs in my team were awesome)

^ this all for spvp btw, for tpvp u always got the option to get ur own team

btw looking for a pvp guild!, i might not represent often but when i need teams i will just represent and ask if someone feels like pvping, just gonna say, i am not that good of a pvper

edit: in eu servers

You do realise this was 5v5 and ‘Django’ on your team re-rolled towards the end of the match. You can even see him talking in your team chat.

Just sayin’

i c, didnt notice that, well, stop afking anyway if that happens.

ruins the fun.

I am also looking for a team.Thanks Wyrden for opening this thread.

i am actually looking for a guild but np lol, dont rly have fixed playing times

maybe noc rage quits who knows

4v5 can be won. I had a few guildies ask about my condi warrior build so I made a video for them of 1 match, and after about 1 minute it was a 4v5. The game was 499 to 499 but they had 2 points and stillness and we had 1 so we lost 503-500.

So regardless if the OP is saying 4v5 is possible he is correct. You also never know if your ally will be right back or not, or if an enemy is going to DC, so not playing is just a terrible idea.

4v5 is possible, but if the enemy team has a good setup and is a guild then it probably will just save your time to let them win it fast.
losing teams get hardly any points, save 15 minutes

BUT
if you have a good setup guild group and you end up against a random pug of 5, or a badly setup guild group then go ahead, this is Buildwars you’ll probably win even with 4.

But remember that very few of us care about points. So a 10% chance of winning a glorious 4v5 victory is well worth the extra 1-2 minutes the match will take from trying vs. not trying.

Besides, trying is more fun. I’d rather play for five minutes and lose than do nothing for four minutes and lose. Did I “waste” a minute? Maybe, but at least I got to do something.

I just started doing some pvp a couple weeks ago, due to the inactivity in WvW on our server. Didn’t think I would ever try it, but it’s been kind of addictive fun. I have just been doing the pug type 5v5 matches, and had one the other day where we only had 4 vs 5……got our butts kicked, but noone on the team gave up.

My biggest concern in the last few days, is that my video card has been locking up at times during the matches…..think I fixed it(new driver was buggy), but felt terrible locking up in the middle of a good match, with our side winning…….they probably didn’t miss me much, as I stubbornly play a ranger……but still felt bad crashing out.

(And fwiw, I am not THAT stubborn, as I also play a mesmer in pvp….lol)

But definitely agree with some others here…..don’t give up if your side is down by 1 player……I would think the win would feel great with a smaller force.

rangers dont suck as much in PvP as they do in WvW. pvp isn’t about zerging so if you’re good in 1v1, 1v2, 2v2 type scenarios you can be really effective.

4v5 is only possible against total scrubs or if you have a pro engi in skyhammer who can push 2-3 people of the cliff.

Part of the reason I am playing pvp with my Ranger……to get better at small group scenarios.
