Guild Wars 2

This is absolutely awful. I logged in with my brand new gaming computer looking forward to some pvp.

I’m getting consistently matched against pre made teams, often with players who are pvp 80’s. I’m currently 59 in pvp and struggling to get better. I’ve lost so many rounds tonight I’ve lost track.

I don’t claim to be a pvp expert and I’m angry that I’m being consistently badly overmatched.

If this continues, I predict that the pvp population will rapidly shrink.

The matches are far more unbalanced than they ever were before. I’m feeling like a crash test dummy at this point.

The “deathmatch” typifies everything bad about pvp. In my opinion it’s not a game at all. I’m really very unhappy that I can’t opt out of that map. I’m sure rangers will love it.

Just because someone is rank 80 doesn’t make them better than you. Your faced against players with the same match rating as yourself which is hidden. You’re losing against players who have similar skill level to you.

Stop getting demoralized when you see a rank 80, giving up is not going to make you win. If you happen to fail every match like you say you do, you’ll go against weaker players until you start winning again.

Play in unranked arena!When you get good or find some ppl for team go and play ranked !

There is conflicting information on the forum about match ranking. One Dev states that rank is not considered, then cites a wiki page that says that rank is considered.

From subjective experience, I’d guess that all stats have been reset and matches are therefore more or less random at the moment.

Saying “Learn to Play” is counterproductive. Further, I find that most of the people who say it don’t actually play much.

If you read some of the other entries in the forum, I think you’ll find at least anecdotal evidence that what I’m saying is being echoed by others.

The matches definitely feel unbalanced, much more so than before. Of the three matches I have played so far in Courtyard, 2 were 500-0.

I wasn’t being hammered anywhere near this hard under the previous system.
