Let us know when we can play the game we payed for again. I had a number of serious crash errors that I would have to do system restores on reboot just to boot my comp back up, that I haven’t logged back in for a week. I just keep checking this thread to see when the crash problems have been resolved, which as I read everyday still hasn’t been solved even though every patch says they fixed client crash. How many are there to fix 1000’s?
If a nec could be healed in ds he would never die. Once you get good at nec you can stay alive at 100 hp for a kitten long time if you smart on where you come in and out of death shroud.
Immobilize stacking is pretty op though. Rangers not so much.
Because grouch plays Engi
Since I only play one class I never finish my daily. Can we at least get another option besides daily profession?
Depends how it is meant to be played i guess, from the video was hard to tell but I thought it looked like spvp meets wvw. So if the siege is actually to be used to siege then maybe it will be doable.
Isn’t Democracy great!

I play off hours solo q so i still get to many pug vs premade compared to a primetime player. So stoppped caring about the lb’s and just play for fights makes the game a hell of a lot more fun for me.
3 man is enough of a premade to offset a match for a win, as long as the 2 other pugs can follow a target or sit on a point. The numbers made plenty of sense to me.
I have bought 2 extra bank slots holding up chests of armor boxes weapon boxes. I am really getting tired of so many chests at this point. Plz a completely sellable track would be nice if not just a money track.
The Necro changes are pretty weak this patch. I don’t even know a single necro who uses Corrosive Poison Cloud. Cast time on locust swarm so tiny change does so little for usefulness of the skill which is a swift.
Quit pvp, not sure on quitting the game entirely I do have a guild of players I enjoy playing with, but I’m tired of PvE and WvW. Leaving me with little choice. Solo Q was what kept me playing daily now I don’t even log in for more then 15 mins at a time.
I had a 16 minute queue this morning, I’m not sure what happened to the 8 minute max.
What were you saying about throwing anyone together after a few minutes? The window in which I wait is about 6-10 minutes typically.
Willing to bet you didn’t have solo Q’rs qing up to fill your Q. Because seriously who wants to Q in the dead hours of the morning where you are guaranteed to be matched up against a team do to lack of players qing. This is why I quit spvp I can read the signs, I played in the dead hours of the morning daily until this patch ruined matchmaking for off hour players. This patch will only dwindle the pvp population, give it 2 months and Q’s will be terrible again.
LMAO you are the majority that has to be propped up by solo Que to have a faster Q time my butt.
Trick to killing engi’s and ele’s is buff removal. Condi necro does the trick fine.
Can’t wait to see how the q gets fixed without solo players.
And when solo qr’s stop playing how will they fix the q’s then? Since it’s obviouis that team q is propped up by the solo players that are getting facerolled and complaining.
So in a nutshell if you play off peak hours which I do, then single q spvp is dead. Thanks anet.
So you aren’t able to resume you Q if you crash? If so thats pretty messed up, can’t tell you how many crashes i’ve where my connection was still good, so was likely something on anets end.
Besides the fact that before patch solo wasn’t being matched up against teams.
Well if they won’t listen to players posting about there problems on the forums, maybe they will listen if players refuse to play. So I haven’t logged in all weekend, and on tuesday I’ll check the forums to see if matchmaking is fixed or not. Though I have my doubts for off hour play which I play in, I am getting the feeling that spvp is ruined permanently for me now. Being forced to Team Q when I play at 3 to 6 am NA time routinely is a crock, forming teams at that time can take up to an hour.
lopsided matches from solo qr’s being matched vs team qr’s which the matchmaking system was supposed to prevent from happening. But some dev turned the feature off to stop that because he wasn’t going to be available to adjust qs for the weekend or something to that effect. So this weekend is a team q farming on solo q event weekend apparently.
Haven’t seen anything said other wise to make any change before Tuesday, so at this point I’m not even logging in to play this broken junk. Great solution to fixing ques, making choices with the game that discourage players to play.
See how that works for you in 2 months. When you back to slow Q’s again because the solo qr’s stopped qing.
I myself haven’t logged in to play for a couple days now, and like I’ve stated above I play during the off hours where more players are needed the most to keep the Q’s going.
Agree with Brann, what this design will do is just push more players out of pvp. For example my guild only has a couple dragon players in as far as I know and I’m one of them. I’d love to get more guildies but they all say the same old same old. That spvp is to hard for them, they just get stomped and don’t enjoy it. Yet with the mixing of Team and Solo Q you force out the new and casual plalyers, there fore not increasing your player base but gradually reducing it.
Well currently team qrs still are playing in unranked as well as ranked. But Unranked brings a different caliber of players, players that are learning, ranked players want to keep a record win loss and be competitive at pushing their percentage up even if it does hover at 50 or not. This also helps you determine wether new builds worked upon are worth running or if you win/loss ratio is going down because of build changes. There are lots of reasons I enjoy playing solo Q ranked and it has nothing to do with wanting to play with the best team players in the game it has everything to do with just playing the game and being with likeminded players that are still competitive.
Who am I playing with??? No one I’m a solo Q’r I play at off hour times because I get off work at 3 am NA Time zone which is the deadest hours of the day to be qing up for spvp, there is no abundance of teams to pick from so the 15 mins looking for a team could kitten well take an hour.
Then why you don’t spend 15 minutes to find better players to play with?

Solo players don’t want to get in TS, listen to others bark orders, we just want to play the game at our own leisure and have fun. This now is not an option so try to have a little foresight. First Solo players stop Qing because of lopsided matches, eventually team players Q’s will start going back up in length of Q as only new solo players will be Qing getting face rolled then quiting. Eventually you wind up with only Team Q’rs Qing and almost nil Solo Q’rs. Then when Q’s get to long it’s back to where it was prior to matchmaking Q changes.
The elephant in the room is that players don’t want to be forced to play the game the way some one else wants them to play. So reap the easy wins for the silly leaderboards for now team Qr’s, because soon when spvp goes stagnant because of elite players facerolling noobs what will you do then? It’s not like there will be a solo Q option that new players can use to learn to be elite and compete in team play. Go ahead shoot yourself in the foot for easy wins now.
Solo Q shouldn’t feel like a punishment.
This matchmaking feels like it was designed to feed Solo Q’rs to the Team Q’rs Q. I play at odd hours 2-6 am NA timezone. Where Q’s were always slow cause of a lack of players. Now every match is Solo Q vs Premade during off hour play. Players that solo Q are sick of it, seen more unpunished rage quitting cause the players are not AFKing they are just refusing to feed the lopsided Landslides, so these players that rage quit keep queing up with no punishment, and matches stay lopsided as the solo q’s always have rage quitters who won’t contribute to the match.
Agree Solo Q’rs are sick of feeding the Team Qr’s Qs. It’s not our fault that team Q’s had long wait times before.
Timer is fine, no reason dragging out the length of the premade vs solo q matches in courtyard facerolls
Becasue team Q is dead without solo Q’rs to feed the Q, this is the real reason for the merge.
He’s not the only one judging here.
I’ve seen more rage quitting in the last week then I have in the last 3 months before the change. Now when solo q’rs get paired against premade high ranked teams the baddies just rage quit. Here’s the kicker, the baddies that are rage quitting aren’t afking so they don’t even get punished. So imho Solo Q is dead if you do not play during prime time, and are playing when there are less people Qing like myself. Because with this new system when there is only a Premade and 5 people qing up it will always match the premade vs the Solo’s which is not even close to an even match, which the new matchmaking system was supposed to be desinged to fix.
Could you please explain this? From what I have read, seen, and heard, a majority of MERC stayed on BG. If so, how is this a move “about the guild”?
It was a move about the guild, because our active commanders needed more support for our guilds playtime. A number of mercs were nearing burning out night after night covering multiple timezones. Basically from Sea all the way to EU time slots. This moves allows those who stayed with merc and transfered to carry less weight and focus more on our guilds core and our enjoyment factor. I can tell you being a merc has meant you carried a lot of weight.
It was becoming a growing concern when more mercs were scouting for the guild then following the commanders. While very often the many of the rest of BG would follow a merc commander, because at our timeslot of play we were very often the only Tag on all 4 maps. With that said, yes some players moved some didn’t, everyone was allowed there own choice in this matter. No hard feelings. Dred.
There’s even less action than when MERC was on BG, you must realize that, right? JQ ticked for kitten this morning. So much competition though.
Also, if you weren’t expecting this backlash, you’re delusional. Not only are people weirdly passionate about games, and even sports ( this is nothing compared to sports drama ), you left to a rival server without so much as a goodbye, apparently.
You (MERC) must’ve known how FUBAR that transfer was, and that’s probably why you never gave anyone warning. Which kind of bit you in the kitten because people just feel more offended.
1 We had around 20 last night? While we were being chased by around 40 most the night. So yes we were still very busy the time I played.
2 Really? Trying to insinuate I am delusional? I am not here to flame just give my honest perspective in a matter that concerns the guild I am in.
3 Ample warning was given for those who needed to know. Also I don’t think having players in wvw who are upset with me or the guild I am in hunting me in wvw as a bad thing. So nope, no bit kitten either.

have fun with your queues and PvDoor.
0 Ques last night, and still plenty of fights. Sorry to disappoint.
Sorry this move has upset so many. This move was about the guild, not the server. As the guild did not want to step down servers that leaves 2 choices, because t2 and under does not provide the action the guild wants. Assumptions, flaming, accusations while making for interesting reading, does not help or change anything. It’s a game play it like one, to have fun. My best wishes to BG. Dred.
SoR,
You and JQ did this to yourselves. The constant focusing of BG since we entered Tier 1 this last time has trained us into a lean mean fighting force.
If any person denies that this has been happening, they are not paying attention. The scores show the true story.
When we fight JQ with DB, we destroyed the weekly score. So far this week when we have fought SoR with DB we have been leading heavily.
BG was not this dominant when we entered the tier. Both server’s attempts to push us out has caused us to strengthen and adapt, this includes getting new guilds. Guilds are attracted to a server that doesn’t crumble under pressure. You provided the pressure.
For weeks we have endured it. Now you are reaping what you’ve sown by having to deal with the Beast gate you helped to create.
^^This
Bg started out behind last week, how’d that work out?
Of course they do. Scouting for 1, 2 shortbow is decent aoe mixed with a dagger storm if built right you can divebomb straight into opposing zergs pop offa ton of aoe and survive, also useful to slowdown opposing zergs on the run using daggerstorm. Shadow Refuge give an area of security to battle rez. Survivable and fast class, sometimes u need that guy that get you supply back fast.
Similar thing happend to me two weeks ago in the same matchup. NA T1 is the most disrespectful matchup I’ve been in so far.
When we win it doesn’t count, when we lose we suck and need to get out of the tier, now we win and it is we are stacked and enjoy pvdoor. Everyone here knows it’s the game design and biggest server wins, don’t act like you didn’t see this coming cause both jq and sor have tried to be the most stacked, now u getting beat at your own game.
It’s great for BG to take pride in a T1 win, it really is, it was well earned. But before you get your heads too big shouldn’t you demonstrate this to be a trend as opposed to an anomaly?
No because this has been one of the most unsportsman? gentleman? like matches I’ve seen as of yet in guild wars. Staying classy went out the window a while ago for me.

Wm kind of made a post bout why they moved, sor wasn’t very kind to them to say the least
All your garrisons are belong to us.
Are you native English? Placing ‘are’ in the middle of that sentence is quite bizarre; I don’t think I’ve ever seen that non-native writing before. Are you from Antarctica or something?
It’s a videogame meme.
Very old video game reference where the text was directly translated and so it read all your base are belong to us.
I’m pretty sure threre is a flame ram up in someones garrison so this bg win does not count gratz jq!
