There is a difference though, as indicated by the numerous posts complaining about uneven matches and pugs vs premades. Also, making these changes while the majority of their team is more than likely busy with the expansion seems silly to me. The old system was not so broken that it could not have been revamped after HOT. The new one, however, is. Oh, irony.

Honestly, though, what do we expect from a game where people can win a 50k pvp tournament by being lucky enough to be the last hit on an npc?

^ that is literally video games though.

It wouldn’t be if we had 3v3 arenas Kappa

Hello, I am the CEO of GM. For the past 20 years, we have been secretly installing software into your vehicles. Tomorrow, we will activate this technology to test and see if it works well.

Basically, it renders your brakes useless. We know this sounds absurd, but brakes are absolutely inefficient at the moment, and as such, we want to test some braking alternatives. Our first test will be trying gravity alone.

Please bear with us during this test season.

Thanks,
CEO of Anet… er… GM.

MMR based Leaderboards. Now.

Posted by: Boggs.6482

Maybe there is still a way to pull the community out of the current state of apathy. Maybe it’s not too late.

A working leader board is the first step. Competitive community without working leader board is a joke. Please stop with the experiments. Take an already proved as working system. We all know where from.

You have all the data needed, make a class based leaderboards. Not big enough player base? Don’t bother with top 1K, make it top 100, 50 or even 10. The player base will increase when people start to compete for the spots.

Don’t tell me again this will tolerate the elitism. It is already here at it’s worst. Because it’s elitism based on assumptions, not on real data. Can’t you understand this? Now give us real leaderboards. Not “soon”, not “when ready”, now.

+1, you wanna test, you open a test server.

High MMR is punished for solo que

Boggs.6482

I seriously think I’m gonna give up on this game. I’ve been patiently wading through the cesspool of unbalance and incompetence that is solo q’ing in guild wars for a while now. I was chasing a dream that one day I wouldn’t q into radioactive or apex or whatever the hell this week’s top-tier-player-pug is called, but the muck sucked my waders off and I ain’t getting that kitten between my toes.

I get so sick of seeing so many dedicated players who care about the game take the time to come to these forums and leave their opinions to no avail. Every answer is the same generic Anet copy-pasta. The dev swoops in to get their “2 red posts a day on the forums!” quota and bounce, kitten the community and their concerns.

This game has been riddled with gamebreaking bugs (immob bug, I’m looking at you) for as long as I can remember, yet I can’t a single red post regarding the matter.

Insta procs, bugs, bad matchmaking, pairing premades vs solo queued players, being trapped in the mists with nothing to do. Honestly, it’s no wonder why all of my guilds, family members, and real life friends left the game.

glhf anet, somebody open a kittening freeshard already.

Duelling everwhere in the game

Boggs.6482

What if they just turn the Obrin Ruins in the PvP lobby into a dueling arena? As far as I know, there’s no way in and nothing of interest inside. I personally don’t want to deal with particle effects from the number of people waiting for q’s everywhere in the lobby, but if it were restricted to the Ruins I’d be game.

Gimme.

Nerf Runes/Sigils! Say NO to RNG !!!

in PvP

Posted by: Boggs.6482

Boggs.6482

Why not just keep fire+ air runes and have them appear like the leeching effect when ready, but make all of those sigils be used if it is evaded/blocks? Therefore, those running burst builds who need the extra burst DPS of fire and air (me) or leeching, doom, etc, have to first use soft or hard CC to land the extra DPS? (although this might not work since sigils would be procced on use of the CC skill) However, I still think burst builds are the least of pvps worries with the current cele meta. I’d much rather have that fixed first then nerf the bursty high-risk high-reward builds.

I’d prefer them remove every sigil other than on weapon swap sigils and balance classes so they don’t need them to function (in pvp at least). If that’s too much to ask, I’d personally like for all sigils to be on weapon swaps and display as you’ve described.

Still, less passive procs, the better.

I’m just preparing myself. I know there’s gonna be a wave of new players and returning players with HOT, but Anet hasn’t taken the time to iron out the obvious and game-breaking bugs (immob bug, I’m lookin at you) that have been plaguing the game for years now. Population will increase for a few months, then most likely plummet farther than it has now.

Has anyone given Smite a shot? I think that may be my next stop. /shrug

Boggs.6482

I just joined my first competitive team this week, and we’ve been testing comps and learning each others playstyles in ranked. Don’t quote me on this, but this week I believe we’ve only face 2 premades running the same guild tag, a few premade pugs (lol), and the rest have been pug groups.

I actually just posted on the forums looking for teams to scrim, because with such inconsistent matchmaking, we have no way to judge or skill level and improve. We don’t want to fight pugs. We’re queued kitten men on voice com, and we would like to fight another 5 man on voice com without having to spend hours on the forums :’c

(Please don’t shoot meh down, Justin. Don’t tell everybody how noobish our team is and how perfect your algorithm is.)

Lightning whip stow was an exploit. Did it ruin ele? No. Did people quit playing ele because of the nerf? No.

Thief teleports are not an exploit. The class is built and balanced around it. Even if the ports were unintentional, they’ve been part of the playstyle for 2+ years now. Let em get rid of the ports and we’ll see how viable anything but s/d thief is.

So you mean to tell me that I should expect a bunker guardian and a celestial shoutbow warrior to lose a 2v2? I rotated immediately into mid after I stole their boss. I also would have had the rez had he used his knockback instead of rage typing in /t. As a matter of fact we won mid, but lost the game because he left. So if we won mid even though he got stomped, would it have not been better for me to steal their 25 points, rez my ally, AND win the node?

EDIT: I have also won my fair share of 4v5s. This team or team comp obviously wasn’t able to win for whatever reason. The reason why is entirely unimportant. What does matter is that in a competitive game mode, leaving your allies for any reason puts them at a disadvantage. If you’re the type of person that afks on a team then I have nothing more to say to you.

First match this morning, I got Nipplehell. I push far to steal the enemy beast. We have 2 of our guys fighting 1 guy on our home, a 2v2 on mid, one camping their home (who doesn’t notice me and never leaves point) and a turret engi trying to kill beast with all of his turrets. I steal the beast and head mid.

Our bunker guard calls me a noob for going “far” in team chat. I tell him I stole the beast with a friendly smiley. I start ranging on mid from up top. Our bunker guard is the first on the map to fall. I fear the enemies away, drop down, and start plague rezzing. The other player, a shoutbow warrior, does not help rez. I get the guard to within 10% of being rezzed. The enemies are stomping, and I expect the guard to do his downstate knockback. He does not knock them back.

In team chat he says, “Not a single rez.” I tell him I was plague rezzing, and he says “Well it wasn’t good enough. You just earned yourself a 4v5.” He proceeds to ragequit. We lose.

Please, Anet. Where is this dishonor we were promised?

So, turrets and stronghold.

I suppose it is slightly troll bait xD

But in all seriousness, it’ll also help naturally balance them. They drop their turrets to defend gate, and then have to move elsewhere where they’ll be at a disadvantage. I think I can handle turrets in stronghold.

I was watching Zoose’s stream the other day. He was playing with Hugh. Zoose got downed on mid and Hugh used his magical dev powers to stealth them both (on warrior) and rez him.

Hugh’s improved so much he’s mastered thief skills on warrior.
