Guild Wars 2

Been playing story with my friends.
Sometimes an Act will not grant Mastery point on one of us.

It didnt give me any Mastery Point on Strange Observations and The Predator’s Path.
While my friend didn’t get theirs on City of Hope.

Yes I checked, not only the Green thing didnt pop on right hand corner, It didnt add on my HoT Mastery Page too.

25373 achievement point here.

Yes, I agreed. And this patch finally makes me realized it doesn’t worth my time wasting my life on farming those “points”.

They are not achievement, just same as those new collections. They are not achievements, but just a trap to makes you farm more gold and in the end —- waste your time in this game.

I was a dedicated AP Hunter for a long time. I got all Temporary achievements done, and I mean EVERY single one including the famous 8 orb and I do pvp and wvw and even brought Gw1 just for achievement points.

Last year’s wintersday was brutal but this year was a nail in the coffin. I finally gaved up.

Finally I am free from this hell and I hope you realized how stupid it was and give it up too.

Don’t take it wrong but seriously ANY game is not worth spending your life on.

Nope. Many games are worth spending my time and I don’t regret at all.
Even half of the time I spent on Gw2 is worth it. But when it becomes a grid and a job instead of having fun, then it’s not worth it.

Yes Anet, thank you very much. I get it, I should not have tried my luck on Solo Queue.

Because It a HARDCORE job after the patch.

First you comepletely removed them on Material Storage page.
Now theres no way to check which mini you missing in each set.

Then you group ALL 3 SET with ALL THOSE SPECIAL mini together in a group called miniature in waredrobe. And since this is not the Material Storage page, you cannot right click on them and buy from TP.

And the best part, you can’t check which mini you account bounded on TP.
And you can’t even check which Set they belongs to.

I dare you to try collect all 3 mini set from zero, currently its close to impossible if you don’t buy them all at a time.

That is why those Blog hype post sucks and kitten people off.

They release some info but left so many question unanswered.

From Top to Bottom:

Beauty and the Beast – The Beast
Fate Zero – Rider
Tenjou Tenge – Shin
Dead or Alive – Ayane

Anhomedog.7968:

I totally agree with pairing the teams so better teams will still make it, but still, No.1 vs. No.32? I still think it could be like, No.1 vs No.9-No.11. This still allows for a better match up even though the odds are stacked against the No.11 team. I never meant my post to sound like No.1 vs No.2, and No.3 vs No.4, etc. I just dont think it’s fair that these really good teams dont have a bit more competition at the start…If they are ranked No.1 they should be able to beat everyone regardless if they faced No.2, or No.32

So while No.11 lose and out, No.31 wins the match up vs No.32 and advance.
Does this make sense to you?

And its not like its hard to get decent seed, just play a few tpvp games and get top 1000 should get you to No.15.

Those last seed teams never touch tpvp and they try to get lucky for easy matchup. this is what they get.

It sure as hell didn’t help when they make those ascended backpiece only craftable with 15 damask only.

Same kitten with Charged Lodestone.

It’s Anets way of saying " Because I like to Fxxk you. "

I bet everyone who finished 8orb agreed we should have something to show off.

Look at all these people defending for Anet Matchmaking system.

Just wait for it, its not the first time Pvp gets a baby boom, and it won’t be the last time everyone leave this game mode and left a sour taste in their mouth.

bump and hope it get fix in feature patch

People who say decap doesn’t work on Team Arena doesn’t know what they are talking about.

Yes it’s op, its frustrating to deal with and annoying as hell.
Only a very talented thief can deal with a decap that knows what he is doing.
Everyone in the enemy team will hate you for it. Calling you names and stuff.

I’m sure I have been called out by so many high ranked players (Include people on first page of Leaderboard) I can’t remember them all.

But rejoice, I won’t be playing as much after the patch and you probably wont see me again in Solo Queue.

Rank does not necessary correlate to skill, it is most closely correlated with time invested in the game. Time spent correlates with skill, but it has diminishing returns.

Roster shuffling, to be consistent with matchmaking, currently only uses MMR and ignores rank.

This will be changing, but we aren’t ready to talk about the details. I will say that we have definitely included a lot community feedback from past threads, and I believe it’s a substantial improvement. I’m definitely looking forward to another round of community collaboration.

I am sure it have diminishing returns.
I say the diminishing return kicks in at about lv30.
But lets be real here, a lv3 should not be in that game.

Just fyi, most of the names on that screenshot is top 100-1000 on Solo Queue Leaderboard.
And a lv3 should never been on that game. Any team gets him is an auto-loss.
Thats the major flaw of Matchmaking right now, anyone plays enough Solo Queue knows this, and this is why everyone saying Solo Queue its a joke.

These types of imbalance team don’t happen every game, but it sure as hell happen every 5-10 games depending on what time you queue up, obviously less when you queue at peak hrs but still happen from time to time.

You should remove hotjoin (Because honestly it an unbalance zerg fest and just teach bad habits to new players) and just make a Normal Queue like League, which still match ppl up with their MMR, but without restriction and the rank pressure. (Actually just rename Team Arena to that and dont show the ranks and you got it.) Then restrict Solo Queue to lv30+ in order to queue up, maybe then this pile of pvp mess have a hope to rebuild.

How about this?
This is Solo Queue NOT Team Arena
And yes, this is 4v5 from start to finish.

You should work on a “Real” MMR System instead of roster shuffling on 10 people.
Its obvious even Red team’s leaver is a Rank 70,
Its still pretty stacked on Blue.

I used to think LoL’s Matchmaking is bad, then I played gw2…….

Aberrant.6749:

Yup, just gotta pay attention to them spawning and you’ll be fine. I’m all for little things like this. Not hard to prevent, but if you don’t…

Good luck paying attention to blue knight while doing damage at red

Anet: Players only focus on Berzerker gear, Its not healthy, lets nerf them.
Create Living Story Timer Event
Make Timer Achievement
Make the boss reflect conditions

Anet Logic Never fail to amuse me

High: At launch
Low: Now

Romek.4201:

screen is from teamQ (cause 30 silver reward) so i guess the 4 lowies in your team was a premade just trieing spvp^^

there is no matchmaking in teamQ for solo players – you are just a “filler” for other premades and they place you where ever someone is needed – atleast after some time

to avoid matches like this cancel your Que after 5 minutes and Que again
after 5 minutes they que you with everyone who has a spot for you^^

then explain this
This is Solo Queue
Lets face it, this matchmaking have serious issue

This is my Solo Queue Adventures plus a few Team Queue, It got mixed up but 90% of the match here is Solo Queue.
Some are 4v5 but most are 5v5 I just couldn’t cap screen before they leave.

To be honest, most of these games aren’t even fun, It was decided in first 2min of the game, the rest is just a storm.

On these screenshot I got from lv36 to lv48 now.
And my rank was top 500 to 164 right now.
I have my ups and downs but its stays around 100-200 for a while now.

To be completely honest, This matchmaking is like a lucky draw, which team gets more newbie = lose. You want proof? Look at the picture yourself.

The two main areas for discussion will be Horizontal and Vertical progression, however please understand that the commentary and ideation we are really looking for regarding vertical is around its accessibility in game.

I’m not sure I understand this bit; could you clarify?

Hi,

To clarify I am looking forward to hearing the communities thoughts on speed of acquisition such as how long crafting time takes? or drop rates in fractals and other areas of the game etc.

I hope this adds some clarity.

Chris

Does Anet Really thinks drop from fractal is a practical way to get ascended weapon/ armor?

Because right now, on top of the very low drop rate, the way it drop makes it impossible for someone get a full set of ascended gear the stats they want by playing fractal.

This problem isn’t new to you, it happened before with the ascended rings, that’s why you put Pristine Fractal Relic in the game, why would you make the same mistake again.

And it is not only about how long the time it takes, its how much it takes. Right now it cost around 240g to craft a set of ascended armor by crafting the time gated mats yourself, You are limiting people to play alts and different builds, I don’t know about others, but I sure as hell cant craft 2 set of different stats for 1 job because of how much and how long it takes when I have 8 job waiting for me.

I would love to see someone Solo the Champion Sharks at Hotw Story mode Boss room.

Even a team kill would be nice if anyone able to do that.

Forbidden Honey in Zone1 is bugged right?

just stop playing tpvp
they wont feel the need until they see their pvp community is dead

maybe then they will start doing something….or not

thank you kind sir for saving my time from logging in this “e-sport” game

MMR system in GW2 =
Find 10 ppl
Put them in a game
???
done

No matter you are premade, solo, top 10 leaderboard, level 1 new comer,
It doesnt mean a thing to the system.

Anet will never learn in order to have esport,
the first thing you need is players thats willing to stay,
but this system is pushing them away (at least it pushed me away, I stopped tpvp completely after getting lv1s on my team vs full lv50 premade 3 games a row)

Its not even about rating or winning,
Its just not fun when you get stormed every single time, unlike games like LOL, you cant buy items here, your ability to carry a game is somewhat limited even if you are skilled. You may win a 1v2, but a 1v3? very unlikely to happen.

I dont know about you guys,
But I think I just hit my limit of letting this matchmaking system abuse my gameplay mood.
I am not playing anymore tpvp until they fixed this.
Goodluck to all Solo queuers out there.
May the level 1 be with you.

1. solo queue
2. a real matchmaking system
3. solo queue because its the only thing i want tbh

Same here, and its not like the matchmaking system is fair
I was 95% when the leaderboard came out
Then I keep getting random new pvpers that are lv1 -5 on my team vs Full team lv30-50 premade

The storm was so much I am now dropped to 75%

Its not like I care much about the rating or I would have stopped at the first day
But getting stormed by enemy 9 games out of 10 everyday is seriously not even close to FUN

The tpvp solo queue was bearable before the leaderboard, Yeah sure I get noobs from time to time but I could have some good games too

I dont know whats the point to put a ranking system when you dont even have a fair matching system

The ranking means nothing now and It forces people like me stop playing tpvp at all
Its just like the environment when the game was release all over again

Ppl interested in pvp get stormed -> quits -> premades have no one to play with -> quits -> whole pvp community dies

Anet why you never learn?

How about Hobby Dungeon Explorer?

I have a question for those upgraded their backs,
I have made the book version of the back and soulbound it on my guardian
If I upgraded it to infused version
Will it come soulbound on use?
Or its still soulbound on my guardian

Jezath.7395:

im suprised you even tried 30 plus with a pug… there is no issue here that i see these lower levels are meant for hardcore pve people with organised groups its small wonder that you failed..

I say pug but honestly our teams are pretty organized, many of us are dungeon master and we know what we are doing.

I am gonna be honest here, I think this Fractal is broken in terms of difficulty when the seal is “fixed”, the amount of effort to pass this fractal is gonna make everyone skip it when they saw it.

Lorana.2468:

u can avoid the white blast and the Agony along with it, as soon as the boss gets his Cultist Reflection Boon (Shares the exact same icon as Protection) you evade, and you can evade all the Agony he throws at you.

its a useful tip but still easier said than done, the necro field alone already very to dodge them all completely without getting any hit.

The real issue is the adds hits too hard at lv30 while your gear dont have any progression in terms of stats.

The boss fight at the last seal was impossible with pug
not because of the bug of no adds
but because of the amount of adds and the damage they deal with the boss

at least its impossible unless your whole team have 30resists so you dont wipe on the White light + Necro combo

anyway, I just want to know if anyone able to pass it normally
and with what kind of team setup and how much resists
