Guild Wars 2

i think the picture shows enough

Vad? A close game. Enjoy.

A compleat party joins unranced? Yeah that can happen…. but they must be bad if they made an as close win

“That’s how much you pay attention; we are red ….”

Classic.

when i need to remind myself which is the color of my team i just look up the team with the bigger score

heh guys the issue is not the full team vs randoms

read the chat, 2 guys of my team (who were grouped, and both underperformed) said we won

we clearly didn’t.

people have no map awareness, don’t know what colour they are. like really the thief just walks by our close (blue) and ignores it because he was assuming it was ours… needles to say, such games can’t be won
i’m not a bad player myself, but i can’t carry such games, not in skyhammer that is allready a very small map

as others have said, the enemy team wasn’t special either. but it just frustrates me, and yes i say frustrates, that games like this which should be 100% win, get lost in such way.

if u speak about it in the pvp lobby map chat, than the subject changes and apparantly it’s my fault and i need to “git gud” but how on earth am i responsible for 4 rndom people i happen to play with? isn’t everyone meant to do his part?

this was luckily in unranked, but ranked has such matches aswell. like starting with 2 or even with 3 on close. just facepalm, and the most entertaining fact is: the people that do this, are allways people from the same guild. people that group up and just follow each other 24/7.
i blame pve for this, pve is far too easy and everyone can do it. then they come to pvp, who brought pve to a 10000% higher skill. positioning, rotating, baiting dodges, skill animations and what else. they apply their very limited pve knowledge and the team they are on needs to be either supreme good. or the enemy needs to have equal bad luck.

I have to admit to once mixing up my colour and trying to bash down my own gate on foefire

its unranked game why are u even surprise? whats the requirement to play unranked? level 2 pve toon?

Not everyone who plays GW2, especially unranked PvP, care about what they’re doing.
I myself play unranked just to decompress after a long day at work. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

It can be easy to confuse your team color if you’re on the red team, because in any other game the red team is usually the enemy team. GW2 just had to be different for some reason.

If you care so much about winning unranked, it might be time to find a guild and start doing ranked battles. You’re pointlessly complaining about something that is the same in any game. There will ALWAYS be clueless people running around in both PvP and PvE, giving zero kittens about being good or playing properly. That’s just how MMOs are.

Happens to me a lot, it can get confusing after playing a lot of games in a row. I am usually aware what color I am on by the end of the game though.

For the OP, its probably already been said but in unranked many people are just there to try out new builds or whatever and aren’t serious about winning a match, especially during the ranked season. It actually kittenes me off when people get grumpy in unranked, save the hate and frustration for ranked.

guys even if i gets confusing, going to a objective and it will say in the upper right of the screen “defend objective, or capture objective”

if it was blue, and our thief walks there (just not inside the point) he can and will clearly see “capture objective” you can’t capture something that is allready yours.

it’s paying attention. at hing alot of players simply don’t

i’m fully aware that in unranked i can expect a certain degree of randomness. but matches like these (versus 5 necros) should have been a clear win, if my team just did what had to be done.
if u die, u respawn. the logic. u can even see where u respawn in map, and in the actual base. the colours are right there. then the other nice help. if you, or one of your team gets killed or kills, it lists in the map itself.
“player a got killed by heartseeker by player b”

when people perform poor it’s allways the same excuse “don’t be serious it’s unranked” i allways give them the same reply “tell that to the other team, they take it serious” either the talk ends here, or they get annoyed. i get annoyed by it. not everyone knows everything. testing new builds is fun and giggles. but more then not it’s not even a build issue. this was not 1, but 2 people( who were grouped) either trolling, or just being plain bad
