Guild Wars 2

Why is this even an issue? They will be in bronze they can get their loot. If you are better you wont meet them. There is no elo hell. Your elo fluctuates around 75 rating up and down of your actual level. So lets say you are 1000 rating player. You will go on streaks where you go to 925 and streaks where you go to 1075. If you improve more you will obviously climb.

From looking at my own guild and their perspective pvp ranks people are roughly where they should be assuming they played over 50 games by now. Many were placed lower than they should be and quickly climbed to their rating then balanced out at a 50% win rate roughly.

I would also remove daily class wins form ranked game. Sometimes i feel that ppl are here not for win but only for a daily

If people are willing to play a whole ranked game on a class they arent comfy on to have a chance for the daily thats their own rating they are risking also. I dont see a problem with it. If you are truly competitive you wont really care about it.

This is about tweaking the system to give better players more of a gap over worse ones. On the very low end of the ladder the lowest players will likely go down even more rating as well. It should simple create a bigger skill rating. ATM i think its from ~450 – 2200 on EU. This will make bottom end likely 200ish – 2500 I am hoping. Also it will boost top 250 from 1820 to hopefully 2000 about of placement reach forcing people to play.

Ok there has been alot of complaints as to why the current system has flawed albiet its alot better and matchmaking overall is also alot better.

Those who have played know who the current system works. Lets grab a scenario from a team.

Player 1 & 2 have 2000 rating 3 & 4 about 1800 and players 5 is 1600 rating. Regardless of what the enemy has this situation has the following scenario.

Player 1 & 2 are automatically at a disadvantage because they have the least to gain by winning and the most to lose by winning. IN a win scenario player 1 & 2 will be lucky to gain 8 rating. Whereas player 5 will probably get 15+. In a lose scenario player 1 & 2 likely lose roughly 20 rating whereas player 5 will lose 8-9 rating.

Now some of you will think this is a good idea some wont. The probably this is creating is the following.

1. Its not allowing top players to get out of range of people doing their promotions to overleap them. (This is mainly in NA. EU top players are safely out of range). This is a scenario where a top player wins 5 games and loses 1 game he gains no rating.

2. Its reducing the skill gap between players in general since the system is automatically punishing higher rated players more.

While this is all fine to a certain extend it is happening to quite an extreme and needs to take into account that guild wars 2 playerbase isnt huge. A simple fix is the following.

1. Keep the system but reduce the penalties for being higher rating by 50%. This will allow top end players to get alot more rating up to 2400 – 2500 before they hit the same scenario.

2. This will also create a better skill gap between players and make it feel alot less punishing to player if you are already in the top 250. At the moment if you are borderline top 250 its almost not worth playing.

If Anet does this it will create a much better scenario where players will be inclined to play more rather that sitting on their promos.

Merry Christmas everyone. Show your support in this if you are truly a pvp fan. Even if you are bronze and you feel you are the highest rated one of your team you should be in support of this so you get punished less.

The Zaishen order name comes from many of us who played and loved guild wars 1. We have been a very stable group and consistently clearing all raid wings each week in roughly 3 hours and also aiming at clearing all future raid content.

We dont require you to fully represent this guild if you join us for raiding. However, it would definately be preferred as the two people who have left did so to join friends who have now caught up to us raid wise. So we are looking for people to join our family.

Required Roles

We are currently looking for two more members for our core raid setup. We need a ranger who can alternate between being a secondary healer (on Mattias/Xera) and a condi ranger on the rest of the bosses. The other role is very open but a chrono would definately push you forward.

If you do not fit the required roles still apply as we have many members that can role 4+ roles and we are able to change roles but we still would prefer someone with more than one role if possible

Raiding Times

19.45 CET – 22.00 CET Monday / Tuesday / Thursday as required. At the moment it is usually Monday and around 1/2 an hour – an hour on Tuesday. Thursday is normally free.

Attendance is required. I set it at around 80% but if a real life situation comes up such as exams/moving and such it is understandable.

Us as a group

We consider ourselves to be semi-hardcore but more on the casual side. Most of the time we will develop our own strategy to do a boss. We’ve been told by pugs that our Xera strat was unique and was nice to see. In the end we do what works for us as a group. If X is optimal for a speedrun but we find Y provides us with consistent clears we will go for Y at all times. That being said we appreciate all opinions and develop strategy as a group and we give every meta strat a try to see if it works for us better.

On that note we are capable to 9 manning all bosses currently so we have room for error.

Communication

You must be able listen and speak in English in Discord. We prefer to get someone who wishes to speak and get along with the group. As you see we are very lightgoing once we have things down and will make fun of each other on the easier bosses.

If you would like to apply PM me Malristanben (Raid leader), Muhandias (Co Raid Leader) or Theskaar (Guild Leader/Slacker).
