Best way to troll enemies and teammates:
Use default/basic skin on all gear and weapons, set the title to something low level.
Dont use any colors, just have it standard as kitten.
To stack equally good ppl in different groups.
Then they had to give the best group something for making it, so they got skin.
Every1 now wants that skin, even ppl that don’t belong in that group.
thats why ppl are toxic, because they don’t get a skin.

As to being “where I belong;” Sadly, I can’t be “where I belong.” My goal in putting up with this craziness is to win the wings. Therefore, I need to cross divisions.
I’d like nothing more than to be in a division with relatively even matches. That won’t accomplish my goal though. I can’t win my wings by being “where I belong.” ANET has decreed that I need to get above “where I belong” by hook or by crook.…
Yep, the wings are a reward for the players that make it to the top div. Will be a grinding road for you if you want to improve and start your climb to the top. Once you stop losing and get settled in the right division for your skill it will be easier to start focusing on improving your skill and eventually rise in ranks.
Good luck and keep it up!
I disagree vehemently I am just finishing a session in which I lost 23 straight matches. That’s in a single gaming session. I’m not an awesome player, but I made Ruby last season. This is not something that can be blown off with the famous “l2p.”
This is not “competitive” or “fun.” Competition presupposes at least a somewhat level playing field.
At this rate I will not be able to win the wings. This is really a trust issue. I came into this two seasons ago with the understanding that if I stuck it out.. I could win the wings. Now, after weeks and months of taking beatings, I find out the prize is out of reach? Really?
I have consistently seen groups that boasted 3-4 of some mix of war and dh. War is really OP at the moment. It’s approaching being as bad as it was in the Hambow era when we saw 5 man hambow teams roll over everything in the landscape. This was allowed to continue for weeks.
There is no reason whatsoever that a 4rth year player should be seeing 23 straight losses in a day. The matchmaking IS NOT WORKING.
Sounds like a ladder problem (common in other games/stuff with ladders that divide players into skill groups). Might not be a problem with match-making.
Once you have settled in the division where you belong pvp will be more fun. Might take lots of losses if the starting division is too high. When you have become good enough you will be able to climb the division ladder to reach what ever goal you have set for your self.
Losing that many games is bad tho, would be nice with a option to reset the divison state for those players that are caught in a divison too high and end up loosing lots of games.
Ohoni is a troll. Everyone knows it.
Items you get for doing pvp = pvp items.
Does not matter how they look, wings or helmets or capes. If they are behind a pvp system they are pvp items. If he wants to think otherwise let him, its ok.
We love you Ohoni, please continue these greats troll threads. Great value. #cringe
I agree with OP, they need to fix Rev.
Hopefully they will nerf it next patch because right now its too strong.
Increasing some of the energy cost on weapons skills might be a good idea.
FYI OP isn’t saying nerf, he’s getting rolled over while on Rev…He’s saying condi reks him. And yeah, i agree Rev is quite weak against condi burst in pvp. In wvw at least you can use food & cleansing sigils which aren’t in pvp. But I don’t see many people using pure condi builds in pvp. I use purity & generosity sigils with Hoelbrak and Jalis over Shiro just in case though. I’d rather not use Jalis tbh, but I don’t like being completely hard countered if I can help it. IMO Rev should be weak against something, and in it’s form now(except for all the bugs), it’s great in all other areas. Maybe some more stub break options could be in order. I feel naked compared to the 3(+1 at 50% health) I usually run with Reaper.
I hear ya. But i think its pretty balanced that Herald has few options to condi clear. It replaces theif with mobility and has amazing damage and utility with boonshare n stuff. So having a weakness is OK. (Imaging if we had a decent condiclear, omg the qq on the forum would be insane).
The Rev condi builds (malyx/something) is alot better at condi control with resistance and heal being strong vs condis.
Will be intresting to se what Anet nerfs to balance it out, i still think the best approach should be at looking at some of the energycosts of the skills (utils/weps)

Run 64-bit client. No crashes since release. The old client wasn’t that bad either but the 64 is more stable anyway.
*If you are already running the new client and get crashes, look at the FAQ for the client fot clues.
Hot join is for quick in/out games for trying stuff out or just goofing around and is pretty much good as it works now for that purpose.
If you are looking for more balanced matches(slightly) try unranked and ranked when it comes available.
Abjured vs people playing their first hour. I would actually watch that hoping the newbies pull a completely random combo out of their kitten and wipe the whole team at mid.
never had this issue, been in plenty of 1v2 with a mixed result, but its not impossible to win.
But to your point; The “improved” mmr-system should make you face more competent players and the chance of winning 1v2 should decrease if no other factors weigh in (starting hp, cds…).
Make sense? no?
edit; or follow Yasha’s advice and roll a class that not everyone knows how to hard counter yet.
Hang in there boys. Hopefully they will adress it in time and learn from the feedback. Make sure to email the admins or what ever, it might help to make things better in the upcoming stuff.
gl in the qualifier
yeah, they need to clean this up. It was even hard for the casters to know what was going on, new players or people who have no idea what gw2 is, they will think “lol wtf” and leave.
But i think they mentioned that they are working on cleaning up the system.
+1 also seen issues, thought i was interrupted at first but the feeling grew on me that something else was going on. most of the time as a revenant where i mix quick stomp with normal stomps.
This will be fixed with the league system as you will only fight ppl in your tier.
Am i right?
edit: Only fight ppl with in your own skill level that is(regardless of rank level).
And what will happen to que times if i only have x amount of players in my tier and none or few of them are online to play against?
I’m just not used to seeing the average time be 6min+ during primetime. Glad Evan cleared it out. My wait on my main acct is always longer than the displayed average.
You probably have a higher MMR then the average player, the only downside to being better then the average player is the que time i guess
This is one of the best patches, with the minor fixes still rolling out, that the game has had yet for pvp.
The problem is that people think that they need to play berserker, even if they dont really have the skills to survive on it, then they complain on forum that everything is broken. i think the OP in this post gets killed and kills to many people that play berserker when they shouldnt and that makes everything look unbalanced and defect.
Good mechanical defense is now rewarded and players who die too much need to look over amulets and skill and add some survive.
Warrior is one of the best classes for WvW and will never go away.
Following video is not perhaps the most instructive nor does it reflect reality as its recorded by one of the best wvw guilds of all time, but it does show how powerful warrior is/has been under the right circumstances.
they should remove rewards/rankpoints from hotjoin, problem solved
And lose transition point between pve and pvp, making pvp die even faster. Brilliant.
And no, pve players not gonna jump straight into arenas.
Removing the rewards would still leave hotjoin intact to open the eye for the pve player what fun pvp can be. And when they join unranked/ranked, WOW they get rewards also! wuut
To be honest it would make sense that the shortest queues = most balanced matches. Assuming it works like in DotA, it starts with a small search and gradually grows. So the first minute or so will search for people within X mmr, then the next minute within 2X mmr and so on. So if you have to wait long, theoretically there will have the largest mmr differential.
So , you are saying my guild mates have to stay and put up with the abuse? The bullies win, however I am not interested in your opinion on my advice. I want to know more about the dishonor system. How does this penalise those that do the decent thing and walk away
tldr;
new system still in “beta” or something, chill. play, loose, win & enjoy.
Good news is that its easier to fix stuff from now on (for devs, we still have to qq on forum)
Can’t blame Abjured, really, it was about money after all.
TCG shown that they can get up from bad streak and face cancer comp in hands of top players. Now I’m offically and fully a fan
That is if I won’t quit, which I should do, after the stream, comp, dev attitude etc, lack of content etc… goes on and on…
Too bad i’m addicted
Oh well, i guess i’ll be fan of TCG then, even if they lose
i love this idea! Im so happy to play a game where the relationship with the players and the developers are so close! Thanks for all the wonderful updates to WvW and that you patiently listen to your playerbase! i hope that you will get many good videos for this!
