Guild Wars 2

Rightful question.
Answer is obvious – no.
They matchmaking system is worse than pure random selection.

This so called matchmaking system is worse than no matchmaking system at all. Literally. It teams up players who was unlucky enough to get few loses with other people who lost making high chances that there will be afker or deserter in team so increasing chances to lose that leads to even worse team. And those teams are made to fight team that has players with mostly wins that increases chance to get one sided fight even more. Faaantastic!
unranked – 12W/12L
ranked – 13W/30L

I am somewhat new to game and first impression was fantastic. It was about PvE where many mechanisms are waay better than in other mmos. So I thought that since people are telling that this game is mostly for PvP then it must be something fantastic… Oh boy I was wrong… after I tried pvp… I am seriously considering leaving game as no mmos pve will match those single rpgs, and pvp here is baaad… I am slightly too shocked to do listing and although there was multiple thing that I did not liked I was adapting and at first I thought that its going more or less ok but then… then happened something “spectacular” – I tried ranked arenas. It was somewhat ok first 14 games (there was about even wins and loses), but then… there is no words to describe my inability to understand what is going on – at least 13 games (probably 16) and only 1 won. And to be clear usually I am not at bottom of score list (happens, but also happens to be at top). How that’s possible?!? Even if I would be standing still whole game I think that should be mathematically impossible. And almost always one of teams is just plain steamrolled. I thought that matchmaking system is supposed to make matches between equally skilled opponents. But it doing anything except that. Its so far worst matchmaking system that I ever seen (and I mean exactly that).

Gorani.7205:

PS: Since you want realism, what kind of silly and impractical heavy armour skin do you wear?

Actually i am new to game and bought it just recently and did not got to armor looks for now. I had not even reached lvl 80 yet

So of course I will be grateful if people has some good looking (and realistic) armor skins to share as eventually I will get to armors too

Andulias.9516:

.. I love the landscape and enemy design, but some of the armor and a lot of the weapon skins look cartoony and unrealistic to me…

Exactly my opinion – I love game but those weapon skins… oh god… they are guly

Ardid.7203:

Please be clear your suggestion is for HUMANS.
Most Asura users I know (including me) want weapons to be BIGGER,…

That made me smile
I forgot that we have some folks who standing is a little bit taller than my boot :P
But as intelligent asura you must understand that asuras too are subjects for laws of physics and you would not be able swing effectively something that is probably as heavy as half of you, and even if you will invent some exoskeleton who will be able swing that sword for you then attempts to stop that swing would end bad as you would be able to stop swords movement only relatively to you… but not your combined system (you + sword) relatively planet – that is any swing would end with spectacular speedy flight in direction of swing Of course that would open new fighting tehnicues for asuras as if about 50 kg (asura+armor+ridiculously oversized sword) land in any opponent at high speed that would end in instant termination of his physical existence. But there is also high risk as missing to hit opponent would risk to land into some solid object, for instance rock, that in turn would result in asuras transformation into some less corporeal form, although in that form it probably would be more easy investigate eternal alchemy that you asuras so much like :P

DeanBB.4268:

What about the highlander GS? That looks decent on my human guardian.

You mean Aureate Highlander Greatsword ?
It looks somewhat ok but… but… I would like to see how in gods name you could swing it without asura invented exoskeleton (as far as I can tell its taller than human and quite thick)

OrbitalButt.5708:

His picture is perfectly accurate, historical rapiers tended to be between 39 and 45 inches in length and sometimes exceeded that…

Ok, as I said I am not an expert so perhaps it really is that way , but still imho fact is that there is only two 1h swords that look acceptable
Lord Faren’s Rapier
Bonetti’s Rapier
and… zero 2h swords
btw… I would say that name “OrbitalBrain” or at least “OrbitalHead” would be way waayy better :P

Dear developers could you add some realistic and good looking weapon skins?

Pleeaseeeeeee

P.S. as it comes to greatswords… did not found any single normal looking sword :*(

Actually went through every single sword skin available on wiki. Thats why I was asking does anybody heard plans about adding some normal good looking weapon skins
Majority of them are oversized, but those who might be ok by size either are ugly as hell or have oversized hilt which makes it still look oversized and silly (and mostly ugly too).
So I will have to go with this
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/f/fe/Bonetti's_Rapier.jpg
It looks more or less good and although its called rapier its actually oversized even in comparison with Quarctastic’s picture (in which imho rapier too is oversized, but ok I am not an expert on subject) and looks more like sword.

Hi folks!

I am curious was there any info or at least rumors regarding plans to bring into game some normal sized and good looking weapon models?
As current weapon models are absurdly, insanely large and abysmally, unholy ugly.
I was searching through 1 h swords and… found only two that was somewhat ok:
Lord Faren’s Rapier
Bonetti’s Rapier
but they both are rapiers and will look a bit silly in hands of heavy armored warrior (although since they as well are ridiculously oversized they look more like real 1h sword instead of rapier).

Hi folks.
I am kind of new to game and have one problem – I saw often on internet that first and best way for personal storage is creation of personal bank guild… Well I have some problems with that – cant find guild promoter npc, and guild interface too does not helps much on clarification what to do and so on.
Could some kind heart please give detailed instruction (step by step) what to do to get that guild bank in my personal guild?

Ok, thanx Captain

Captain Prinny.6492:

So “Political correct” Tin Foil Hat “of the obvious” would drop either an “Political Correct” Insignia or a “of the obvious” Rune, while salvaging the “Fluffy” Banhammer “of Stupidity” would drop either a “Fluffy Inscription” or a “of Stupidity” Sigil.

Thats one crazy hat I must say

Hi folks.
I just recently joined game and one of my two characters are meant for PvP, and thats engineer. But since I am new and has not got even single character to lvl 80 then obviously my knowledge on game is somewhat limited. I tried to search info about builds over internet but so far all build that I found gives list things that you have to choose but do not explain much about why choices are made the way they are made.

But for PvP char you have to create build like its lvl 80 character.
Sooo… I created my first build but since it is my first build and it was created by noob then it must be bad

So could any kind heart explain me what is wrong in my build and why?

Here is my build – http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqalcThqrY5VwvLw6FLsF1XFehdoYHNFzI4IeiBAA-TJBBwAUOBAoLDA4BAQb/BA
Basic idea is dumb and straightforward – high crit chance that is increased if target bleeds or is close enough (firearms).
Alchemy provides support for healing and defense.
And explosives allows create bomb after dodge roll.

Amadan.9451:

1 put 4 in the mystic forge for a chance to get 1 of 1 tier higher level (4 green for a chance of 1 yellow or 4 yellow for a chance of 1 orange).
most people do that because if you are lucky you can get some very expensive rune that you need or may want to sell in the trading post.

4 search the wiki for specific mystic forge recipe where you can use them and turn them in something else entirely (ie rune of the nights are often used in combination with other ingridients to craft weapons with thematic skins)

Thank You Amadan! Those two options was exactly what I was looking for

Hi Folks

I have question about runes/sigils that extracted from drops – is there any way to use them in crafting?
I know that I can craft runes/sigils (those that has patch looking icon) and use them in crafting, but there is runes/sigils that comes from drops (those has icon that looks like coin) and I cant find any use for them (except obvious – put into armor/weapon that has free slot, but that that does not seems to be very productive usage).
So is there any way to use runes/sigils that came from drops in crafting? Or there is any other productive way to use them?
