Guild Wars 2

I’ve now had multiple games decided by people getting “stuck in the wall” and having to relog mid-match to clear it. Either it’s a Ranger’s LB 4-skill knocking them into a box on Capricorn, or Guardian Shield 5 into a wall on Forest, but there should be ZERO games where a coding glitch gets to play a role in the outcome, don’t you agree?

Please fix this code.

Gonna bump this because the Twoloop Quaggan Games event chain is still bugged. It never starts. I’ve half a mind to ask for a refund of the 100-200 silver I’ve spent WP’ing into this town to check for a status change.

I saw the exact same thing, by the exact same player, not 10 minutes ago.

Could be engineer’s AED, could be function gyro, could even be mesmer’s illusion of life, but why would you take that skill…

I think a major problem is that PvP is entirely too serious. This leads to trolling and general toxicity.

Let’s face it, GW 2 is really not set up to be an arcade game. It needs to be about more than learning the “combos,” ( as we used to call them when I competed in the arcades,) and reaction time/connection speed.

There’s not any money in it at the moment and I think that’s a good thing. Perhaps we can re-focus on “sport.”

I disagree with this. I think parts of PvP are rightly taken as serious, because the people in those skill divisions recognize it as such. Obviously we’re not playing for anything besides bragging rights and pride in Season 6, but it’s really discouraging to be put into the same match where someone is just ‘knocking out their daily’ as it were.

Toxicity has been prevalent since day 1, but for the most part if the skill levels between teams are balanced, it’s less of an issue. Problem is, when that balance falls apart, like it is doing currently, people who aren’t normally salty/rude/trolly become discouraged.

For me, I’ve seen 90% of my pvp friends list disappear from either not pvp’ing anymore or quitting the game entirely. Yeah it’s part of the game I guess, but it could also be fixed before more voices from the community are lost.

I had two placement matches with quitters and two more with DC’s, and finished 9-6. Last season I was on the edge of top 250 (1700ish) and this season I start out in 1400s. I’m fine with trying to climb out of kitten but people in that range don’t seem to care about rank/winning/communication. I can’t tell you how many matches I’ve lost already with only 4 ppl on my side because someone DCs/lags out or gives up after a bad mid fight.

Each successive season seems to be getting to be more and more of a nutkick and this one is ridiculous. The top NA player isn’t even 1900?? How are you supposed to climb out of MMR Hell when the players around you don’t give a kitten?

I just want to play competitive pvp not have to babysit teammates who literally say “what do you want from me, it’s my 3rd pvp game ever”. This season that seems impossible.

I have had my share of mismatches and two-pip wins but this is just ridiculous. I’m seeing this more and more and it is just ruining the entire top end of PvP matchmaking.

Not only did we lose to a multi-legendary team, we lost 2 pips because the matchmaking system assessed us as the favorites.

It’s really like you can’t even queue with more than 2 people or you run the risk of running into fake squads like this that clearly abuse the hell out of the MMR system.

It’s not the first time this has happened to me, but this is by far the most blatant effort to game the system. Pretty much sums up why people kitten about MMRs and hidden ranking systems.

Has anyone else had the lovely pleasure of running into these gentlemen?
