The issue is forum here is filled with people who have only self interest in mind.You got example with PVE to PVP what happens.
Taking PVE as example 1 thing every time a easy mode shows up ingame to earn in 20-30 minutes over 60 to 80 it gets farmed.Guys who farmed that for 3 monts depending on their time end up from 54k gold to 75k or more.Then they call for nerf why?Cause they can then increase account selling value.You have dedicated people to milk money out of the game with making new accs and hoarding leg on them.Cause god forbid if gold is easy made to get ingame their acc value drops at 10 dolars.
Here example of 1 acc what barely has playtime and has 12 legendaries and its on sale on one of the pages i took a look. The guy selling acc for 45 euro….
When it comes to pvp its almost the same people dedicated to argue and so on.We had over the past 5 years such awesome suggestions who got buried, either spammed either got deleted or removed from moderators.People dedicated to derailing topics you can even see clear when discussion starts.The guy replying not even reading full post of said person just get provoked by 3 line of words and starts to write.Then their reply is always in their Limited view perception of things.Discussions then end up not productive,people forcing their view on others and try to validate their view arguing.
Thats the whole summary of GW2 situation and call it the Twilight Zone where sane people lose their mind.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Correcting this video should and Thread be renamed – Example of bad spvp!The enemy simply did not use 50% of the skills or builds and ended up losing the game.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Has nothing to do with my perception.Saw enough ingame what happens. Sinderen with Misha getting paired vs few friends (PVE) i know in match who where gold to silver – bronze.Total sum around 9 games on one day.What was literally snowball match.
Then about the 18 times win,yes no prob but still MM did not provide equal skilled people on my team to have a decent match.Was a snowball match ended up with people rage in team and going afk.
Leader boards of NA – EU are separate but MM paired players from EU with NA.Cause i saw that way while friend played ( EU ) vs Helseth ( NA ) and his toxic behavior ingame.
So by your perspective players have to be given matches.No matter rank or skill just that nobody waits…LOL…
About the players who do not use any range protection.Sorry to break it to you those where even platinum ranked and even legendary.
Anyway what you said you proven that you support the snowballing MM instead of equal matches what would take longer quene time.And that MM actually not works cause its just a program with settings. You have false image that you purchased the game you entitled MM should provide matches.And by seeing you have perception even you purchased game and your acc ingame stuff is your property.Sorry to break you bubble but all that you think you own is property of Arena net.They can terminate accs anytime for violation of user agreement.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Specially Guards stacking with F1 then Shield of Absorption + Sanctuary and Trait Virtuous Solace.Stacking it and rag-dolling you around.What causes when 3 guard are there your char is constantly disabled.And you enjoy the little traps spammed while flying around.
We had suggestion last year to prevent this type of situation on forum what got buried and forgotten. Any CC attack to stop from repeat use or Stunlocking a character. First time 75% chance to resist then second 50% 3rd 25% and 4th 0% should complete be resisted.Creating more skill required play and other.But i do not think we will ever see something like that.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Going to repeat my self from last year.Even if the population is low their biggest mistake is using a automated written program to scrap people for match.There will be never equal teams its just RNG. They even removed Region lock on MM system leting EU and USA and other region players pair up together and vs each other!Only for teh sake to provide a match.No one push button program or script will ever work!The only system that worked without flaw is to make website like this : http://iccup.com/en/ or the ESL webpage. And let players challenge between them self and build a proper pvp scene. And Anet should stop to meddle in PVP and push Esports what is not their job! Should be like in GW1 when they used to update change skills up on weekly basis! And focus on developing a proper Skill set. And not the other way around see where we ended up cause it.
Algorithms are necessary. There are too many players to be using anything less than a automated system.
Moreover algorithms do work. Matchmaking isn’t witchcraft, there has been tons of work and discussion done on it, by both the gaming industry and academia. Glicko2 has it’s flaws and it’s not the optimal algorithm, but it works well.
Players have this weird idea that good matchmaking means that every match is 500-490. The problem is that even among perfectly equal teams this doesn’t happen consistently. Human performance is not deterministic. Conquest is a sensitive gamemode and something a simple as a single lost 1v1 can easily snowball a match.
No Sorry Can’t agree with you we had previous even this season example that MM algorithms cant work.Why cause you have people who get ingame Carried or lucky to be in a team that gets them win.Then they get higher rating then they are.Just as example like few persons i know who got around this season 1600+ and down.While in reality their rating should be lower but hey thx to win its different story.You get a number assigned its all about numbers.Then you got RNG in place if you get lucky.
Played this season on friends acc from personal taste player skill quality THIS season was poor compared to season 4 where i played over 550 matches. Season 4 was enjoying it but every time in season 4 i hit 13-18 straight wins in row i got as solo paired against Adjured 3 times in row with randoms and lost.What i found very disappointing then players in team toxicity and witch hunt.While found personally very regretting that always players put blame on team and start witch hunt.
This last Season 5 was a joke was watching most of time saw that few things that i disliked.
1.Removal of region restriction due to lack of players.
2.After a while when players are not in same skill range MM paired top ranked leg players with mid and low ranked just to provide matches.
3.Player quality very poor,players not swapping skills out or classes to counterplay. Majority did not even use skill that prevent dmg from range ( arrows ) attack.
4.We still have no ingame VOIP but with the current system of duo and solo quene
toxicity is high cause it.
5.AFK – Match-manipulators who even threw games for gold was higher then previous seasons.
Total sum on season 5 pushing players to Solo – Duo and creating higher toxicity.Even displaying higher the problem of lack on teamplay. While game itself has no Voip function and lack of proper tutorial for the new players.Players toxic not even taking time off to chill show some new guy whats up.

Welcome to the Gw2 Twilight Zone. Keeping Solo/Duo quene can’t understand them cause its a joke. Would understand if we had ingame Voip what we don’t and its year 2017!!!We have to type in chat to random gathered people hey TYPE!!! Then 6-8 seconds can cause serious inbalance ingame. Another reason its madness random scraped team trying to perform and creating Toxicity and stupid Witch hunt ingame! That is literally intentional with the Solo/Duo system. How is suppose a scraped team with randoms suppose to win it? Team with randoms – you do not know which build he has,no communication,people not swaping classes to parry enemy setup.There so many problems and we can list them all. So in the end it comes down we play Russian Roulette with ranked…..
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Oh the PvP cynic, while badgering the community for not taking the e-sport section seriously is leaving? Don’t get me wrong he was right to be a cynic over how they balanced PvP. However being a jerk to the community is a big fat: No. Also he sent this out on the day of a large PvE patch. I guess everyone has their bias outlook on the game, if your apart of one those “massive pillars” of the game.
The whole e-sport thing for Guild Wars 2 has been a joke. The only way the e-sport system could have worked if Arena Net let the community built it up first. Before Arena Net started to play their hand into it. Instead they had their marketing team try to make a big deal of it way too soon. So now your having the reverse happen. Where the only reason why some of these “pro players” cared about game was for the e-sport scene. Not so much for the game itself.
What Arena Net should have done was work on different game modes, better match making system, and dividing skill balance between all three game modes. They are barley getting this done now, but it’s a little too late into the games life cycle. Nevertheless Arena Net needs to keep working at it. Eventually the community will hit it’s stride again, if you keep up with good quality content.
Well said and the joke there is no challenge for a team seems he only cared about money.
Look having more then 1 acc will not get you banned.One group of players who got banned who took gold or asked for gold in middle of match.You would get random msg from enemy team player asking for gold to trow the match (sabotage for enemy etam ).And few other situations that did happen.But there was even more what did happen getting people banned.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
in this post you sure sound like a rager, and ragers lose.
Can you blame him?This season i only played 6 games cause friend asked me on his acc. From what i seen people just are terrible and worse in terms of skill.One game i had a guy openly asking for gold to trow a match.Another one is AFK is still a thing and kittens still being what they are.Personaly on my acc i stayed away from this season.Cause from past games i played where they removed after 6 days testing solo – duo quene and with result that it made pvp worse.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Cause low pvp population you can specially visible on the leg players stats display..System puts after few minutes even the higher ranked players vs gold and anybody with 1600 up down in points.Cause only for sole purpose to provide match without any real balance.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
The MAIN problem with people like that there is no REAL punishment.And by any chance if they get punishment its around from 2 hours to 4 up to 6 or 8 something like that.That time short punishment goes for verbal abuse and other things.The said person who got reported goes offline,while hes offline he gets banned for short time period.While in RL hes in school work or something gets back after 6-8 hours or more and just logs in.So that said person never felt any punishment and the hell circle continues.

MM is not working and it will never work.There is no program in world that can on one button push setup proper team pairs.Until they not put a webpage like this: http://iccup.com/en/ and people to work on that. I will not bother to play serious or not take anybody serious.Cause this option on iccup is working and worked over more then 10 years and longer then LOL or any other.Was in use since 2000 and they still use it today on many diff games. There You as nobody can challenge if you have skill some pro player to test your self. You challange on the iccup over webpage diff player for certain amount point to gain duel teams vs teams.Winning accumulates points and you climb ladder up in ranking.And not some demo 1 button program what cant work and did not work here not even Starcraft 2 or any other place.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Unraked or Ranked pvp player base population is low.Cause that MM system no matter what setting cannot and is not working.It pairs you up with next aviable players that are online in quene.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
So far from the system i saw is: Putting together 1-3 good players together with 2-3 average and low skill ceiling.Then those 1 sometime is only 2-3 good player that carry the rest of the game. The rest ingame is player issue intentional trollers or guys who intentional lose games to lower MM rank. Staying away from big group fights letting team lose points 2vs4 -1vs3 scenario. And other things they doing its creating the current pvp toxicity ingame.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
2.Problem with game system (not possible to implement or there is limitation to programming it same with class stacking ) system cant see what player has when ingame on map and the issue is he can still swap to wrong class.
3.Again big problem from game system to program it there are really problems and limitations or we already had that system in place.Same as the second thing you mentioned.
Rather worried about lately the limitations we have on gw2 game engine and how limited are the options.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Look i will tell you why.Two days ago i joined a team cause i wanted to see if the guy who organized team was good or any member of team.Then for 6 games i did carry that team tanking enemy.Playing was like this i had over majority of 5 games 3vs1 and i was tanking enemy while team kept hitting points.So after 6 games i got feed up two of them hit diamond one was 1 pip away from it. Personally i was stuck ruby for at least 6 days other needed few more wins for diamond.Then on the 7th game i changed class stopped to tank and carry sudden team was losing and guy blames on me.While they where no good from begin but ok,did not even comment on his ranting he and the other vote kicked me and he instantly put me on ignore.So that is why you get those diamonds they not deserving and got carried.Saw them again playing 2 more games group fell apart and since then any of them has not progressed further.So 3 of them are stuck diamond tier 1 and others Ruby.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
And you need a group for it too. Most of the groups have really idiotic requirements so,
I personally don’t agree with linking LI’s and whatnot, but I have understanding of why they do it though. A single bad player can cause the group to wipe for hours after all. So the paranoia is warranted.
This stuff really would be fixed if there just were proper DPS + healing and boon uptime meters so you could simply see if someone is slacking, alas.
if you play undesired class XY, you might never get into raid, ever.
There is no undesired class though. All classes have a good meta build for raids.
Tell it to every thief in s1. 0 chance to get into any group because of crappy balance. Even now finding group as a thief is close to impossible unless you are in a guild and BFFs with GM.
do not take me by word I tried to look up post about it seems got deleted I had somebody linking me that season 4 title you get was indomitable legend but now post was deleted
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
That’s as evidence way back now everyone does it since its a game mechanic from day 1 but…There are these players shouting on every little thing exploit when somebody find a fast way to do things.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
MM has nothing to do with the guy sitting across the web on other side of the screen. And who does not know to play or has emotional problem and sabotages games for others.So far all loses and mistakes where from human side what was certain win games.Matchmaking is not to blame for it and demanding to get always 90% the winning game is just a joke.
Sry lang barrier,was alredy knowing he had 2 traps.During middle of the match game did desync and when he used symbol of blades then 2 traps i dodged the dragon maw and fragments.And then he sudden spammed again fragments of fait and dragonmaw again causing a 5 times animations where i dodged out 3 i got hit by 2 of them.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
After getting accused of using bots and cheating because I do flippy dodges instead of “just” dodging most of the time… Im not giving forum statements without solid evidence any kind of credence.
And you shouldnt either.
However… making a skill-macro is quite easy, and Im sure quite a lot of pvp’ers use(d) those, especially on d/d ele.
Thing is though… d/d ele aside… its not that smart to use those. And a good player doesnt have any trouble against people that use those macros to set up burst chain. After all, the macro “only” chains certain skills that a good player can push just as fast.
d/d ele was another matter, but anet solved that by nerfing d/d ele into the lower regions of barely playable…..
Look the stupid accusation come from game client and server desync. Here some picture from one videos i recorded.Where i used Executioner’s Scythe and white outlying on ground.While player was out of range and my skill not displayed as used.But clearly the skill was used and player was Desynchronising off place still took the beating.And that is MOST common lately in matches i try to fear a person or do any sort of CC,the enemy has no Resistance no Stability and he is not Feared or knocked back.Then i have games i have stability on and i get tossed around like ragged doll. That is current state of accusations and problem what i hoped not to see this season.
There is even issue that people get Double trap from guards cause these desyncs.Got only verbal confirmation from friends no video and personal 1 time situation happen to me.While they where playing and against guards. Pesonal out of all games i played only 1 time guard enemy had 2 traps and when he attacked me 5 traps under me in time period of 6 seconds..That i was wondering how is that possible.

I think there even more less players Playing PvP right now cause i got paired with low divisions in Ruby.Since system puts anything together now ignoring your MM placement.

How you expect to balance Human and Human behaviour?Unless they invent the matrix and we get all plugged you will have GW2 like it is now.So far playing what i saw was players doing mistakes ingame and losing it cause those little mistakes.Players out of range from skills and spells 140-280 range and other.NO CC use at all no proper builds wrong timing,bad pick at targets,wrong choice of situations,behaving like BOTS and more.The great AOE spam starts and every person in team runs in all 4 directions losing benefit as team.So far EVERY game i had lost was cause Human in team.Then the toxicity starts from those players,name calling and insulting and the great witch hunt.And then big blame begins for MM and Devs and demanding a system to cary a casual and average or belove average players to high ranks.Well sorry to say to you but system is ok players are not.Players stubborn refusing class to change to meet enemy team class composition,players refusing to change tinker around to get away from some META builds to find their own,lack of interest to play other classes to get a feeling and knowledge.Then they lose game and we got the devils circle here with the complains,they started to hit every class with nerfs removing the stupid GOD mode solo style pushing into TEAMPLAY and players refuse stubborn to adapt they want their GOD MODE.The only thing game needs is system in place to prevent class stacking that’s it all.Anyway but people tend to complain about a loot here on forums when they hit a gap.
Here played now 3 games had team pars who have no clue to PVP.Now what should i do scream MM is bad?While some Human on the other side of screen decided that he should do either daily in ranked or thinks full of him self to be MLG pro.What ever the reason is its Human factor not game and we do not have option of GOD mode to Cary a 1vs5 game.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
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.
LEW!You know when i down somebody you think me and my friend when we get to play together or solo let that guy res?No i start hitting the downed player AOE and get free another kills and downing another players.You think that this PVE Downed state has to be in Arena PVP i think not.Arena PVP should be Gladiators Fight and no mercy or comebacks to encourage more TEAM-PLAY! What we currently NOT have is already to much holding hands and pushing towards the more casual play.And whole arena is a mess as it is solo players complaining about MM while there is 0 Teamplay.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
It wouldn’t matter because that’s only considering one game. If you don’t belong in the previous division, simply play more games.
Look issue is not amount of games its just people doing Daily in RANKED and playing classes they not familiar with much. Second problem is 0 teamplay and basics every match I lost was cause Human errors. Not to mention teams I had god have mercy…Fight starts Aoe spamm gets on whole team scatters in all 4 direction and all lose benefit as TEAM from other classes .Guard out of range to cleanse,Ranger out of range to heal and so on.People doing tiny bit mistake in fight here and there and WHAM game lost.Then the toxicity starts you get name called and what ever going on and witch hunt who is to blame.While the whole team was doing mistakes and players not paying attention to those little things what could have won the game. So far every game lost was due to these HUMAN mistakes and everyone screams Toxicity and blames MM and the all mighty god. So far I been driven to the point I will not SOLO anymore and find me a PvP group. And people blame all sorts of things and what ever while 0 teamplay is currently present in Arena Pvp.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Wrong the thing should complete be removed.Once downed team risks to get killed.And if you die 1on1 or any other situation enemy is not going to finish you.He will just keep hitting you keeping you forever there.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
You know its silly to discuss at all about some persons who are just raging ingame. The issue is if somebody is emotional unstable they should seek treatments. And by how much that is present ingame 90% of time they all have some serious problems. That is actual from Real life and they need to see a doctor when coming ingame and scream what ever comes to their mind.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
Look make no mistake MM cant fix human error.The system cannot predict what a player does or will do. The issue is right now every lost game I had was due to Human error,3 thief who refuse to swap class, player using wrong builds and so on…. The issue is still on player side who refuse to accept things how they are and bring the wrong weapon to the fight. Still one thing I refuse is players who want to complete their daily and Quene into Ranked and I get a lost game cause he never plays that class. There should be a system to prevent that.
I was feeling a bit screw-loose so I…checked myself in.
There is that glitch or issue what some use in arena.Every class has certain condition which does apply example mesmer.Mesmer has no chill no poison so some players take rune or sigil to apply those,when you do cleanse those poison or chill take priority so the torment or confusion are not cleansed and you busted.There was a discussion cant remember few months ago some guys where mentioning what you pointed out here and its being used the way i described.And still not taken under look by anet.
