Guild Wars 2

Been there 2 times, also you can stuck same way at keep and mine.

I remember there use to be command that respawns your character to nearest wp, it actualy work in pvp but it takes like minute, I think its /stuck cant remember exacly.

Ivantreil.3092:

I can see Eternal Coliseum joining the ranked maps soon or later.

Anet just need add one minor fix for map and it will be completely esports ready… map name change to Coliseum of Eternal.

Once one engi didn’t had weapons equipped, surprisingly he did good, and we won that game.

I am confused about how you landed in bronze. I played 2 accounts this season just to test out placement, this account doesn’t even HoT lol. Main account placed in low plat with 6-4, this account placed in high gold with 8-2 (i played them all solo on a thief o.o). How do you land in bronze? I can understand gold or silver, but bronze????

I’m Rank 300+ with 7k games played, most of them ranked. I downloaded game to check new pvp season, didn’t really understood what is placement matches, so I soloqued them not even try hard.
Ended with 6-4 placement matches in bronze t3. After that grinded soloque about 80 games to get to platinum with 66% win ratio, then started duo queing for win getting +5 rating and for lose -30 got back to gold t3.
Tho in overall matchmaking was really good for me most of loses was 450-500, rarely had match that was lost less than 350-.

I also got non HoT alt account who is barely rank 20 not even all placement matches played and is higher than main that I been playing 4 years…

Lexander.4579:

you cant kill support ele 1v1 with anything, dont fight them on a captured node ever on such conditions

You can force decap or take down any ele pretty fast, best for that is condi warrior. Its counter to eles is huge cc and condi bombing.

Some instantly got placed in platinum some need work to make it happen. I got placed in bronze 3 went up to platinum in 3-4days. High win ratio, about 50% lost matches score was 480+ ~ 500, so in overall I’m pretty happy with matchmaking. What is surprising that never seen angry teammates so far, need to climb higher I guess.

Frustrates me most when you lose game with 450~499 – 500.

I rather lose matches 100-500, and not tryhard them… at end of game you remember that one silly decision of yours, or teammates mistake that potentially lost us a match. For me it happens almost every single time, close games everywhere.

Starting out far close with 4 good thiefs it could be winable, but ofcourse you got 4 bad thiefs so no, it wont happen. You need to get like 4 rank 500 thiefs, not rank 50 to make it happen.. XD

So are you telling people to hope RNG smiles more in their favor? Rather then get good enoth to be able to stand on 2 points at the same time? Wow that is a chance. Most would tell the people still playing GW2’s Ranked that unless they can stand on two point and snipe the enemy team from across the map “no scope style” then you belong there.

But I agree with you sig. In this game’s Ranked all is vein.

What I want to say is, this is how system works. It just punished those 3 thieves for other players sake, eventually ignorant thieves will lose their division. Out of 10 players only 2 who didn’t deserved to lose…

Well I already have got about 14-16 ascended gear pieces, few weapon boxes and precursor and all just from playing pvp. Nothing new.

In past, pvp skins was a thing, but they decided merge pve with pvp, so no way back. All these rewards just pvp integration to the rest of game.

The more players in pvp the better it will be. Just think about it if not pve players pvp would be dead now. Also its good opportunity for pvp players explore other sections of game that didn’t had gear for.

Maybe you need to carry your team, but your 45% win ratio is holding you?

I think they are really late with updates. I remember preHoT pvp players was asking to nerf backstab. Many people were asking for backstab or stealth-attack get revealed after attack is blocked. I think this patch would solve issue from back then.

However patch came just now, and its plain kitten comparing to how many blocks-dodges-etc now in game.

Not to mention how stealth-attacks like backstab is outdated comparing to vault or just plain d/p autoattack chain. This nerf will solve nothing, as always wrong things getting boosted and nerfed.

Hi there,

First, here’s the a recent post on the topic:

Gaile Gray.6029:

With the start of Season 4, we’ll be returning to Season 1’s style of matchmaking which focuses on creating the most balanced teams from the players queueing within your pip range. This change may widen the skill range of players in each division, but we feel that increased match quality is worth the trade-off of reduced prestige for this season. During Season 2 and 3 we added two league features that greatly impacted your ability to climb: start-of-season division placement based on previous season performance and win/lose streak pips, and both of these features will remain enabled for Season 4.

Season 4 matchmaking is already using MMR to create the most balanced teams possible. Teams are no longer “stacked” as they were in Season 2 and 3.

The problem (that we’re solving for S5) is that we’re currently searching for players close to your division to match you against. This means that the pool of players that we can pull from to create a match is much smaller than if we were using the entire pool of players. A player may have a high-enough MMR to put them in the top 100, but if they’re in Sapphire they’re only going to get matched with players that are in or around Sapphire. Season 5 will use the entire pool of players for creating matches – this should help the system create more balanced matches and improve queue times.

As for the “forced 50/50”, there’s nothing on the backend that forces a certain win-rate. This is a byproduct of your MMR settling.

I don’t believe this byproduct….

I win a few games with team mates who know what they are doing, they have a minimum of 12k AP each…. A few wins later I’m on a team that doesn’t even have a total of 6k AP…..

The system forces losses so everyone can have medal and it’s kittening bullkitten.

Isnt thats normal? Pvp players got less ap since they dont do pve achievements? Many pvp players got more ‘pvp games played’ than ap.

Its lke 6k ap player could have 6k games played, while 12k ap played only 120 games.

/unstuck REGGADO.1237

I thought it will get fixed after game update, but guess not. I was asking people at map chat, seems there was plenty people stuck aswell.

afrocrusade.4253:

If you lose to guardians, you’re just getting outplayed, really. The class is 100% balanced. That’s why solo queuers are only queuing with guardian.

I know you tried to be sarcastic, but turth is class is not 100% balanced it still need some boosts to be competitive at esl levels.

And yes I prefer having dhs in team over newbie players that can’t do a kitten.

btw guardians don’t have reflects, maybe reflect shot.

REGGADO.1237:

Some loses every match, some wins every. Thats how 50% matchmaking should work, right?

Grats on getting out of amber.

Well games is from ruby division, but who cares. I know there is people who passed ruby soloque without losing any match.

Problem is not that DH class is low skill ceiling, but players facing them is. Best advice is to suggest your teammates to switch to even more DHs.

I’d say your lb ranger pretty decent against dhs. Its like pets hit 10hit/sec, lb2 hits 10hit/2sec, lb5 12hits/2sec, that melts all aegis and focus5 instantly. Tho its hard to land any projectiles when 4guards stacked in one point spam shield5/bubbles.

Some loses every match, some wins every. Thats how 50% matchmaking should work, right?

If you have issues with reses or cleaving/stomping then you need to really l2p and get gud.

Its all about timing, if you see you teammate goin down, just be nearby him and ress just he going down, there is small gap of invurbality that you can ress within. Simple non traited stability res would do its thing possible when 1-2 people cleaving.

Resurrect traits is more than enough. Just look some esl or something, safe ressing is still pretty strong.

S tier. Engi res with gyro and all anti-projectile fields.
S tier. Rangers with pet ress and anti-projectile field.
S tier. Guardians with bubles and pushbacks with all projectile hate.

A tier. Thief with sr, and huge amount of stealthes that is basicly anti stomp mechanics.
A tier. Mesmer with anti projectile and possible stealth/invurablity on ress.
A tier. Ele projectile hate fields/shocking aura and mistform res.

B tier. Revenants with invurbality ress.
B tier. Lol even necro with transfusion would work.

B tier. Tactics trait line not really viable. High stability uptime with stances simple stability ress do its thing. Also there is some warriors still using warbanner, seen double even triple resses.

It always was like that… dont except arenanet will change anything.

Truely 4v5 is pointless even to try with this pip system. (tho s1 was ok to 4v5)

I hate when people quit after first mid fight, yes, sometimes kitten happens.. I had games with bad openings, score was 200-5 and yet we won (460-501). Secret is to get team of winers not whiners.

I think DHs are worst, not that they are good, but they are litterly only trashtier class in this meta. Any other class seems better in any way.

Well begginer players are already excluded. To get to rank 20 you need like 40-100 games. Ranked matches should be doubled, for rank 40+

To make difference, games played numbers should be way higher, like thousands of games. But I guess people would create smurfing alt accounts for easy games…

not having to hold down a button just to move your camera is amazing. aiming matters. gw2 its all auto aim. .

do you realize gw2 has an “action cam” update that does what you mentioned?
- does not need to hold down mouse to move camera
- aim with mouse, not auto aim

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-action-camera/

Anyone using it in pvp is on disadvantage. This game is not designed for it, its more of a pve perk fo screenshots and such.

Well if thief is playble with action camera then any class is..

Pretty much any amulet that doesn’t have any vitality stat is totaly useless for guards, thiefs and eles.

If you got good pc log out to character screen and log in. You also can do this in variuos situations ex. beeing @ far and need protect lord asap at foefire etc.

Seen it multiple times, downstate start sliding till player hit wall then port to original position. Sliding animation appears for everyone not just for me, you can’t hit it in original downed position nor when its sliding.

Maybe skills like launch on downstate causing such gamebreaking bug.

Reaper Alim.4176:

sPvP before ANet changed how ranked match making work was most fun. After the fact watched my friends list of 25 active pvpers shrink to now 0, to include myself as I no longer sPvP in this game. I mean why on earth would a competitive solo queuer or loner would want to play this game if he/she is just getting kittenters for team mates that he or she can not carry match after match with scores like 125 – 501 like 19 matches or so in row, when we can simply go play a actually competitive sPvP game competitively as solo queuer?

I do agree matchmaking shouldn’t put new players in the same team with veterans. Anet should revert that fast que patch where new players get upscaled mmr-their total games played.

However I still think matching is ok, I get pretty close games in un/ranked. I’d say about every 2-3 matches are fair, but you need to play tryhard against newbies…

I already disaled them by not any playing elite specs. In this meta I play warrior and thief both are not daredevil and not berserker.

Thief one of best profesions to counter dh. It takes litterly few seconds to take down any guard. Here is secret guide:
step one… have p/p as weapon set
step two.. click 3 3 3
step three.. stomp dh

Reporting players in pvp kicks you out of game and gives error.

There was one guy who were afk from game start, and all because he really badly wanted to play new map… Everyone who tried to report him got error and dc from game.

Idk how people like him can get away from wasting 9 players time, please fix report feature asap.

Good thing they removed it. Never liked these afk cleric builds, game is going good direction.

I win every every 1v1, sometimes even 1v2, follow minimap carefully, trying not to zerg around and be where needed, even playing unranked to warmup or having big ping, but yet still lose every soloque game. (7+ losestreak so far)

/Got 6k+ games, played like 5k ranked (paid tournament, solo que, team que, ranked, unranked)

Its team game you cant win alone, when you are only 1/5 of team. Right now only viable choise to play with premade team, Soloque just unplayble… (not sure how for others, but for me it sucks hard)

It does have no counter play…

They should make resistance boon resist boon steal/transfer.

Just save pvp tickets for next year.

Maybe berserker is out, but definitely not warrior.

Once seen ranger ported in downstate, no tranfusion no nothing. After that I took a eye on him, when noone was around him he ported around like crazy.
Imagine smart thief or mesmer doing it all time, noone could tell person hacking.

I know some people were in saphire and had 2/6, while others stuck always at 0/6. How to understand that?

Blood can be missed, blocked dodged and so on, and fire sigil trigers pasively on hit, so it hits always.

Again! Won match, but got no pips.

Won by timeout, score was 498 328, enemy had dc. In score chart it says victory 400 500, but gain no pips. So now when enemy dcs then you dont get any pips or whut?

Boys underwater training grounds is open! Underwater esports is back!

Just kidding just doing hidden jp till in long ques…

I am in division 4, and the title is on 1/6 tier… 0 progress.

Every higher mmr player has the same issue playing soloque.

If you lose 2 pips its mostly you que with 3 people and more and lose against good soloquer teams.

I had match with this, one of enemy got dc. Not sure if is it.

Having 51%+ win ratio, it may take serveral atempts to get tier done, usualy you start losing streak at 3 or 4 back to zero. So you need from 5 upto 50 games to get 1/5 tier done.
If you having less than 49% win ratio there is no chance to go up beyond division2, not even mentiong division 3 or 4.

There is enough players just everyone stuck in 2 or 3 division, there is no progression having 50% win ratio.
Probaly division4 players can be matched only with own and division 3 and 5. In time there will be more division3 players, but most of soloquers will stuck there, so same issue will repeat with division5 matching.

Evan Lesh.3295:

This isn’t your MMR, but your ladder position. We could let matchmaking expand the ladder position cutoff, but then we’d have a lot of players complaining that they keep getting matched with people outside their division. We’d have to let this happen pretty slowly still.

How long would you be willing to wait before going significantly outside your division for matchmaking?

Dont expand cutoff, improve system to climb ladders reasonably. How to progress if game forces you to have 50% win ratio. Divisions should be easier to climb, now most the soloquers will be stuck in tier3 forever.

If people wont stuck in ladders, then there will be more people in all divisions and short que times.

+1
Cant anymore do stealth decaps, panic stealthouts without porting to aoezergfest nor buff allies…

Thief hard counters revs.

Either backstab is too weak or vault too strong. Fully agree buffing backstab, which is single target not aoe, and has limited time to hit, plus vault has leap.
