Why not have all 4 ? the core of the work is done ,(the maps) , tweak what needs tweaking and give ppl more options imo.

S1 top legendary had ( if im not mistaken) x14, even with amber/Emerald farm grps.. season at an end and we see x32 on a supposed FAIR MMR Vs Pip’s system… the way it is now is just a broken mess of a system or ppl actually got almost 3x better between seasons..
S1 wholeheartedly , bring it back as 30+ losing streaks and 500-20 blowouts cant just be due to lack of “git gud” alone.

This is a really great analysis. I appreciate all the work you put into this. We recognize the problems that the season 2 matchmaking is causing and are looking into solutions that will provide a good experience and satisfy our goals for the league system.
23 days ago.. the season is at it’s end and nth else since..
Any hope for S3 getting sorted = 0 on my part.
The sound of crickets is all you’re getting from them..
<— on it atm and the attitude im trying to keep is fairly the same as yours , just with little to no results for my troubles , had a 30+ losing streak interrupted by a lonely win and back to losing again, ppl just dont give a kitten and will ultimately end up were they feel like it, cap mid drop it to free roam. not capping close or 4 ppl camping close from the start of the game and enemy team isnt even pushing it.. i mean c|rap u don’t even see on unranked..
*Communication is vital is a team based game and you’ll know that u are entering kitten when u type @ the start and ppl don’t reply
My advice is, if you lose 3 in a row, stop playing for an hour. This will ensure you are matched with different groups of people. *——-> rarely doing this, must admit.
*What division are you currently in? —-—-> R3 for 3 weeks
What class are you currently playing? —-—> thief > engi > ele ( refuse to play necro as it seems to be the answer most ppl give to sort sth that shouldn’t exist in the 1st place )
Are you capping home at start if no one is? *——-> invariably on home/beast duty >mid > +1’s and far pressure ( on thief )
*Are you back capping / decapping open points when given opportunity? —--> always on the move , yes
Are you +1 fights that can be won instead of fighting on stalled points?——-> never park on capped points ( thief )
Are you keeping track of respawns and calling them to your teammate on far point? on inc calls duty but its pointless as ppl dont even tab to the called target.Keep making the correct choices, even if you do not win. There are choices you can make that can help to swing momentum in your favor even if just a little.
Started season with Engi got the usual win some lose some followed by the usual streaks interrupted by the occasional marginal loss > 18 loss streak > 1 win > 30+ loss streak..
after my 10th loss on engi were keeping myself alive on 3 v 1 mid fight would amount to nth as ppl wont even attack the targeted player after coming back from spawn i swapped to thief as if im actually trying and getting no were let me swap to a class that in = null on it and was still top of most of my matches.
High mobilty = fun for me and makes the cap/decap a breeze even on matches were we would start with a 100+ points margin wed lose in a “WTH hapened” fashion shortly after, team rotations = 0 the "ima 1 vs 4 mid cause i am legend and can kill them all " policy seems to be a prevailing law among most ppl on R3.
my gripe is that the decline wasn’t gradual and more like a switch got flipped, hard fought matches with actual comunication beeing made started getting the silent type ones were ppl jut throw themselves at whatever and /care to even try.
Thought of rolling a F2p account but cases of it are that many that the problem is highlighted enough , a simple “we are still working things out” would suffice as i remember last season things got sorted before the end of it regarding Q’s , now its as if no one sees the elephant in the room, so nth is done. S3 will have the same model with minor tweaks and its going to be rinse and repeat, but as long as we have wings to spend gems on ppl should be happy.
Not a top player by a huge margin, so legendary was never a goal for me, to improve my game and HF is why i do it, but things are beyond ridiculous regardless how much effort u put into it.
GZ on legendary tho mate o/

My thoughts:
Because MMR heaven/hell are real, I had very little problem (while solo queued) in Ruby (div4) and Diamond (div5). I played Meta Mesmer for all of it. MMR issues need to be immediately addressed when they arise, there were players on some of the enemy teams that were objectively better than me and my team, and were brought down because of the lack of ability in their team they were placed with, eg. 3 sometimes 4 of the enemy team were either asleep at the keyboard or were playing a class they had never played before. These people are being taken advantage of by the system and should not have to wait until the next season to enjoy playing the game. There really is no acceptable excuse from Anet why broken systems like this are allowed to exist for the entirety of a season, sorry.……..
Stepping stones mate , is jut why Anet does nth to address the issue, wile pvp players get used by mostly pve ones to reach legendary so they can come back next season given the fact the did so well on S2..
…………………..
My biggest advice is to stay positive, encourage your team, and remember to be prepared to res/stomp before the person(s) go down. Finally, do not fight to the death on every point, you are by far more useful to your team when you leave a lost point and +1 another fight than you are when you are sitting in respawn.
………….
Hard, if not impossible ,to do when from the get go ppl wont even type a “hello” in reply to yours and just plain ignore the simple question “who wants close?” all you get is mostly 60seconds of staring at the screen and your chat hoping some1 can either read English of give a da|mn about the match to get a makeshift strategy going beforehand
Ended my streak on 32+ lost matches in a row with a marginal win , good match at long last, great comeback on our side, actually felt like before i hit R3 and ppl were actually communicating and working towards something.
Have since lost 2 more matches so as stated before 1 win in the midst of a great losing streak = squat for your MMR. Reaper x 7 on the same match lol wut ? team with the 4 reapers won it btw.. once more against all that looks good on paper but actually has no sway in reality.. the class stacking is has become nonsensical really.. this happens every 2 matches on avg ,but that one got burnt on my memory .
Really hoping that S3 has something significant added to it in the way of improvements else pvp just becomes sth that the game has but will never hold any pull on me again as its as pointless as staring at the Mystic forge hoping a Legenday will jump into my bags if i stare long enough..
Overall feeling is of sadness as no real rewards for even actually giving a kitten and trying to actually win are achieved, worst is that at one point u just doubt u even had a clue as to what u are doing in the 1st place.
Just get it fixed and give us a proper S3 please, if that’s not much to ask ofc.
And stop changing everything ppl type to “kitten” , thought that one of the perks of getting to adulthood was that one could curse .. a good “Eff it” in the right context actually gets the proper picture and feeling across in a faster way than tippy toeing arround it for 10 lines..

So there’s nth to do but to give up something one likes doing and just roll over on a ditch and drop dead ? not going to happen on my case but i can see why ppl do it now.
For a company that stated over and over when ppl complained about sth " That’s not Gw2.. its another MMO, if u like that u should go play it" type of comments, seems like walking off the beaten path and rly standing out is a thing of the past, 1 Dev reply 21 days ago and nth else since… so Blizzard like.

Absolutely awe full. For me last season was miles better. Matchmaking is so beyond broken that it prevents good players from getting to Legendary and allows PvE players who have barely touched PvE to go straight to Legendary. I sincerely hope something changes.
Sooo true, I’ve read so many posts by PVEers who never play pvp that said it was super easy getting to legendary and read even more posts by people who have been playing ranked pvp for years that say they can’t win for kitten this season. (even though they used to win frequently) How can anyone take pvp in this game seriously anymore, its like a huge ROFLMAO joke.
^ this is over 9k spot on… thank you Anet… on your attempt to get pve players more involved with pvp u actually made the ppl that loved pvp hate the @#$ of this game..
Cause leaving ppl to their own business was somehow wrong in your books, lets mix it all up and see what gives..
Was going for " comparing sizes.." but pebbles seemed more suiting rly
29 in a row atm..

6 wins > 1 loss > 8 wins > 18 loses > 1 win > 26 loses … reached div 3 in 3 days of casual play as Solo Q ,stuck there for 2 weeks now, ending most of my matches either 1st or 2nd ( even on the loosing ones) , Decided to grab the class im most useless with , the thief, and still manage to get the same results… eh ??
Im as calm as i can be wile on pvp as the motto “win some lose some” isnt lost on me , just a healthy young, working man, that harbors no delusions of grandeur as “im top 2% on XYZ” missed R5 last season by 2 pips due to late start so im giving it a fair bet that thats my current ceiling as a pvp player, im going from calm and collected as usual self to getting the urge to post a “suck a pipe with this #$#$ BS Anet” screen punching ape with the things i see on the current matches that not even in unranked seem to happen.
Opposing teams are usually composed of 4x ( insert class here ) GG… and wile theoretically we should win all im getting is trampled to the point of actually doubting that i can even discern that the red named players are the actual enemy.. as most ppl on my teams seem to suffer from that ,and yes i am color blind and i can still make friend from foe how the effing lord cant they.. ?? also ppl that join to show off their legendaries and run around not rly hitting anyone and the usual “ima AFK now because we have a 20 point difference YALL SUCK..” players ofc..
So from actual fun and balanced games since the start of the season , wile ppl actually comunicate and do have a frigging clue of what they are supposed to do, just like a flip of a switch im getting stuck on this crap in order to push ppl that given the fact that they have more skill ,THEREFORE shouldn’t really need help ,IMO, get higher faster and have meaningful matches.. sorry what ? getting a 504-21 match is meaningful in what way exactly ? as i fail miserably to see it .. as it is bring back S1’s system as i prefer getting farmed by R5’s on R1 Q’s and have at least an ounce of respect for how better they played than my team and move on to the next match with a "win some lose some " attitude..
IF im not mistaken last season ended with a Legendary x14 on top, at the moment its on x29.. so im supposed to actually believe this guy got twice as good since last season ended or that matches we cant possibly win are handed to ppl in order to be used as stepping stones for others ? If u think this crap is fair u have issues to deal with..
And tbh the you should be able to carry your team or the git gud kitten of a comment are exactly that.. stupid to say the least, as id like to see a legendary player get out of half the matches iv’e been on were we have 4 players on close looking at the pebbles..
As is, ill keep going till i reach 60 loses as things are im sure it wont take long, plus this crap will end soon, and NO i shouldn’t have to group with anyone to get me out of a ditch that shouldn’t exist in the 1st place fix your kitten or get someone who can. if all else fails bring back S1 system.. at least that!
Strictly because of manners and education..
Kind regards

Finally got the quest done, after 20+ tries O_O !!! As we remain in combat even after all the chak die, seems indeed that Taimi either remains in combat herself, or doesn’t seem to register that that part of the quest is over and refuses to move forward, no vanishes here so the only way i found to get the job done was to get the last Chak of each wave to low HP and let them finish off the job by walking away from them as far as i could.
Took this “tactic” all the way till the lab and worked in my case, cant say as of yet if it will work for everyone else but worth the try i reckon, will try it again once i get there with a second character.
just saw it as well and was coming back to delete this post , but thank you anyways for the fast reply,

Quest which caused the skipping :
The Queen’s Justice lvl 30 Jumped to "On Red Alert lvl 48 , after completion.
Any other notes? :
Ive been doing the personal Story quests with my GF and we are making the same choices , aside from a few quests in the start which were different , we both decided to get things done at the same time since we are doing them together anyways, from the queens justice quest she has 7 more personal story quests until "On red Alert " and i have none ,also she has the introduction to durmand priory meta complete and despite making quests for them and having their vendors now open to me i am still missing.
