Guild Wars 2

Level 31 PvP Warrior, Thief, Ranger, Guardian, or Elementalist on Stormwind Isle. Looking to tPvP paids or free or just sPvP. 80 Warrior and working on a condition p/d Thief (currently 40) for WvW.

My friends are on Eastern and Pacific Time Zones, and with all of our crazy schedules, we don’t get to play together much. Looking for a larger guild that I can game with on the weekends and some evenings. Play mostly tournaments with (anything, usually s/d, d/d, s/p, or condition p/d) Thief, (balanced/tanky damage gs and a/s) Warrior, (tanky or conditions D/D) Elementalist, and (trap conditions) Ranger unless a bunker is needed then I play my (support/tanky damage) Guardian. Do have an Engineer but I don’t play much unless I’m messing around.

The main complaint I hear about this is: “But then the teams won’t have anyone to play against.” LOL
Why is that? Because of the low population in PvP.
Why is there a low population in PvP?
Because new players don’t like to stick around very long.
Why don’t many new players like to stick around in PvP?
Because they are getting STOMPED by PvP teams.

If there were more people in general in the game, eventually there would be more teams and eventually there would be better tournaments.

Anet is putting the cart before the horse and because of that, they are killing their game.

5WHY havent seen that method used out of my work, but hey.. its a good one how to find a root cause.

More interesting question

Why ArenaNet dont see it?

im pretty sure they do have tools to meassure population, count howmanygames / tournaments the game run etc.. those are probably easy to get DATA they have available and we still dont see some FAST and direct adjustment to our issues?

Why ArenaNet dont act ?
Becaues they dont see it?
Why they dont see it?
Because they still get money from PVE

Haha, yup, I can’t seem to shut it off sometimes.

I run as a pugger all the time. I have since level 1 and I’m now almost 30.

For 3 free tournaments yesterday, I was in pug vs. pug from the first game until the last. It was AMAZING! So much fun, seriously, the closest games and the best time I’ve had in PvP in GW2 since release.

This only reinforces the fact that they need to have rankings, individual sign ups, and team sign ups.

I haven’t had the error code after doing a DNS cache, but I just got the downed loading screen freezing. Note, I don’t think I’ve played enough (20 min total from cache) to see if it actually helped or not.
Scratch that, still having the issue. This was not a problem for a good 3 or 4 weeks and then it has been happening regularly. Not cool.

Maybe this will help you figure it out.

Picture 1, ready to steal Chief in a very close tournament game.
Picture 2, freeze.
Picture 3, black screen kick.

Not pictured, me raging. We lost that game, obviously, since they were 4v5 for a good 5 more minutes as I reloaded.

This is not good. Not good at all.

Crashing in tpvp as well. I’m getting the old loading screen freeze after death. This happened about a month ago after a new patch. Fix this! I can’t finish my tournament games and many times it is in the last few seconds of the game where I get kicked.

Spvp seems like the answer.

No, no it is not. Even Spvp you have level 47 players farming glory. I myself jump in to farm in sPvP just for the fact that I know I will run into noobs and it will be 3 second kills as they spam 1, 1, 1, and 5, 5, 5.

L2P? That’s my point. In no game should you have to be potentially matched up with pros as a beginner. What is the point? No one likes to be completely stomped everytime they play a game. That is just bad form.

I’m trying my hardest to convince my long time online gaming friends that this game is legit. Seriously, I am. These friends have gamed with me online since Diablo 1 and Warcarft (the very first release). I’m telling you right now, they hate this game and they don’t want to play it and I’m VERY concerned.

I love this game. Love love love it. I have so much fun. I think what you are doing with the PvP max level, the events in PvE, the exploration and questing is wonderful. I hate that I had to play every other game before this.

Now to the VERY bad. And I mean VERY.

-Tpvp is matchmaking is awful. You have to have matchmaking. You are losing playerbase. My friends refuse to come back, refuse to ever play this game until this happens. You CANNOT have a organized team play a random pug. It is just a bad design. I’m sorry, but this is a major failure. I don’t know how you allow this. How do you expect to have a esport player base when random people don’t want to player you game. You cannot, I repeat, cannot only cater to the guilds. You have to let solo players play. You have to, or your game will fail.

Is this a overly passionate post, most likely. The reason I do it because I want my friends to play. I want noobs to come into this game to play and to enjoy your amazing game. Seriously, swallow your pride, or whatever it is, and follow games like SC2 and LOL and make a matchmaking. It has to happen or you will fail to become anymore than ordinary.

What is with all the lag and skipping and dropping and kitten not letting us play pvp tournaments? Seriously, I’ve had 001 problems except for the issue of random drops because of deaths and now I can’t even play a free tournament. I’m level 21 – so I’ve played a few pvp games – and I’m lagging so bad I fill the screen with queued skills, my character is doing nothing, and I’m still getting killed.

Hack or GW2 problem? Because I’m fed up with it!

I almost guarantee these have been said, but I couldn’t find them in the forum search.

-PVP gear in the loading screen. Seriously, I don’t play this game for PvE and I want to see the fruits of my labor.

-Weapons in the loading screen. Same as above obviously. Why is that so difficult? Just have the code be written to whatever your top slot is showing.
