Guild Wars 2

So now this is my opinion and i want it heard before what happened to SWTOR happens here.

i really like how i can get on in the morning and play with random pugs and have fun.

i was able to play with random ppl all day every day in SWTOR before ranked and ratings came out.

after SWTOR ratings came out i had a 300- 30 win loss rate and my loses were because my main team wasnt on so we puged and we lost and that brought my rating down a lot with every loss.

i really want ratings in this game i really do but what im saying here is how can we get ratings in here and still be able to pick up random ppl when our main ppl are not on?

lets us a example.

2 high rated ppl plus 3 low rated ppl play a team with 5 high rated and the 5 high rated team wins i dont want to drop rating alot because i am high rated i want to drop rating as if im low rated playing high rated.

so here is the moral of this post. right now its awesome that good ppl can play with randoms overal helping them get better and win more overal making new ppl fill more welcome and less discouraged. i hope when ratings come out that we can somehow keep this up. i dont want it to be like SWTOR noone would q up unless they had there main 8 overall making it noone ever q up.

please fill free if ppl have any idea on how to make this work

I am a big fan of the LoL system where only “Ranked games” count towards your Elo.

Maybe a good way to deal with that issue would be to add another tournament queue in which results don’t affect your win/loss ratio (?)

I think we only need 2 types of rating…. Solo/Duo Rating and Team Rating, as long as we get a Solo/Duo Queue tournament ofc, it should be fine then, you could do paids with pugs and a friend by your side, the problem would be matchmaking…will you face a premade if you solo/duo queue? wouldnt worth it then imo.

Hotjoin, Solo/Duo Rated, and Team Rated are what I think are the best options.

can u explain what solo /duo rated is and what team rated will be if they do that?

I dont think a solo rated Q is needed at all.

hotjoin . unrated (which u can pug Q for).

Then rated. (similar to paid in that need a team to Q).

Solo/Duo Queue, “Unable to Queue a full Team”, so you are facing another Semipug Team to rank up with a Solo/Duo Ranking system, replacing “Free Tournaments system” so ppl can FARM Tickets without caring about Team ranking, Hardcores players could be playing in w/e time with pugs while his team is offline or w/e and this should be the most common Tpvp for “Casuals” to learn/have fun, this system should bring 50% win/loss for casuals which give them satisfaction of winning everyday and hopefully make them stay and learn/push toward making a full Team for Team Rated system.

Team Rated dont need to be explained i think….Hardcore mode Tpvp for Organized Teams with it owns ranking.

ED: The thing with this is that is based on a huge PvP community otherwise Team Rated will be used for a low amount of teams, will be fine at start since they would be fighting Hardcores Vs Hardcores BUT eventually they will get bored of facing each others over and over, because ofc Solo/Duo will be more popular system with our amount of PvPers.

In the future…we may have the “Perfect System and updates” but not enough ppl to make it works…..so IDK…i still prefer that system which is not perfect but better than the actual i think.

Hotjoin is for when you just want to have fun without any pressure of rating. Solo/Duo is for when you want to have fun competitively, but lack a team either at the present time or people you are comfortable with playing competitively. Team Ranked is for when you want to have fun competitively with your team. Solo/Duo is in my opinion, absolutely required to get as many people into the competitive scene as you can.

I did Hot Joins to rank up till R30 because ppl wont invite lowers ofc and thats ok, after R30 i stopped using it since i dont have fun in there, thats because the reward do not motivate me, Ranking up/Glory Farm? Yah well i may get Rank 50 doing hot joins but wont get enough pvp Experience/Tactics to face Paids against a good Team no matter how many Glory i made, so the only thing i did after was Free/paids to learn and keep learning how to play better and being competitive, which is what any new player SHOULD do.

I think Hot Joins should have a Rank Limit (R30) when Custom Arenas comes (For Any Rank Lv), so those useless Hot Joiners R30+ farming nothing but Glory move on into Tpvp to actually make it grow toward an ESport.

With the 1v1 Tpvp and a Solo/Duo Queue system, Ranking up/Farming Glory in Tournaments shouldnt be that slow anymore.
