I made a post similar to this experience. Why can’t they just lock professions. Whatever class you are when you hit Join Ranked, that’s the class you play as during the match. This way the game can create a well rounded class team. GW1 did this. Why not bring it over to GW2?
DC this morning, 75 minute wait. Ok cool I’ll go to PvE and play the events. Sweet times up, lemme go join a game. LOL Anet trolls me and DCs me. Ok cool, 2 hour wait now….Both time I’m able to rejoin immediately but I guess still counts as DC.
Love this game…
So I’ve played in a few games where I’m paired up with 4 thieves, or 4 DH, or 4 rangers… etc. I understand it’s grouping us based on MMR and “skill” but can’t the devs factor in profession to make the teams more balanced? GW1 did a great job of locking in your profession and not allowing you to swap out, in turn it was able to generate more even teams in terms of professions….
Just a thought.
This happened to me several times the past couple days. Server downgrades?
I don’t mind any of the condi’s except confusion. Way too strong and gets applied/stacked way too much. What does Anet want me to do? It’s hurting me when I don’t activate a skill and I’m doubly hurting when I activate a skill… meanwhile it’s just being repeatedly stacked on me. Bring GW1’s confusion to GW2 or some variant of it:
“Target foe’s attacks may damage any character in range, including the target.”
At least I’d be able to run away, dodge, or do nothing and not have to take any damage for doing so.
When is Anet going to come out with new finishers. PvPer’s don’t care about new glider skins…
When you kill a ranger/druid in PvP and they’re using a pet, they both die. Once the ranger respawns back at start, the pet respawns wherever it died for half a second before it respawns with its owner back at start. That half second is just enough to trigger any traps you have put down, or keep you in battle and prevent healing.
Any plans on fixing this issue with pets respawning correctly at start with their owners?
Anyone else feel like after the patch the graphics in PvP matches is worse? It seems like the detail of everything has been scaled back and it’s hurting my eyes. Looks blocky/choppy. My setting are the same, just wondering if anyone else experienced this.
Anyone else experience this? We were Q’ing earlier with no issues. Both took a break, now when we are back in party as soon as we hit the Q button, the error message comes up “You have been removed from the Q”…. We can Q both of us as solo Q, but as a team – nope. Why??? No dishonor or anything. Relogged etc… Anyone else?
If you lock professions the matchmaking can do a better job of putting together a “better” team with profession variation.
Err no, because that would
- imply, that there is something like a perfect setup, what Anet never would say out loud, plus,
- how can the system measure, who’s good at what prof (don’t start with rank, MMR, other kitten that doesn’t work)? E.g. 2 Necs knowing their class can be cancer, while 5 just joining for daily usually are easyfarm.And locking profs just would lead to:
- more easymode matches and
- more afk after a miserable start.Plus: If you “fear” a counter, then prepare for (countering) it.
Not a perfect set-up, just more variety. It’s not about measuring who is good at what profession, that’s already part of the game isn’kitten When you click Join Ranked I would assume you’re already playing something you’re good at, right? I just find it comical that we go into matches and then switch toons at the last second to counter.
As for your easy mode and AFK comments…I’m not too sure about that. I have hardly experienced AFK’s or people giving up after the first wipe. If you have – that sucks. I solo Q’d to diamond without too much trouble but have been stuck there ever since. Also just making a blanket statement that suddenly all matches are now easy mode with out any argument to support it is hardly worth taking into consideration.
True – although let’s face it most people are running some variant of the meta. But agreed, “Simple” fixes are what anet excel’s at. Locking the gates and blacking out enemy team when you press B would make it more interesting.
Klinch I like your idea of not being able to see the enemy (GW1 also did this), although you could just run to their starting position and take a peek. But.. your first argument about getting paired with thieves.. that’s kinda what I’m saying. If you lock professions the matchmaking can do a better job of putting together a “better” team with profession variation. Of course now you get paired with thieves because the logic is unchanged. Know what I mean?

Why isn’t this a thing? In GW1 pvp what you Q with is what you play in the match – no pre-game or in-match swapping of characters – made it easier for the system to match make balanced teams. Why not carry that over to GW2? Not complaining just thought the matchmaking would improve. Right now I just join as a warrior for a joke, see what the enemy switches to (or most likely not since they think they’re going to face a warrior-easy kill), then swap out to my ele, necro, scrapper, druid etc.
Thoughts?
Hi I’m stuck in a match. Please unstick !
I see. Thanks fellas.
In 2 separate matches today an enemy revenant came through my portal exit with me as a mesmer. How is this possible?
Is that what’s been happening?? I thought it was time for a new computer. I usually have to /dance my way out of it.
7/10 games this morning I joined “ranked” only to find when the Q pops and I join map, its an Unranked game. What is going on here? Something up with the coding?
No credit towards tiers for winning and it’s pretty frustrating. Anyone else getting this?

Well… that’s solves that mystery. Maybe I should read before I buy bags. Thanks guys.
I made a Revnant to start the HoT story, although I’m not sure what profession I am matters. But.. as I play the game and collect loot either through rewards or through killing enemies, everything I pick up that I typically “sell on trading post” or when I speak to a vendor to “sell junk”… right clicking on my loot doesn’t give the option to sell on trading post and speaking to vendors doesn’t give me the chance to sell as junk. I literally have to drag each item out of my inventory to trash it. These aren’t souldbound or account-bound items. It’s regular loot, talons, weapons, armor, etc.
Anyone else experiencing this? I brought my ele into the HoT zones expecting the same, but no, I can sell to TP and merchants like normal. My revenant, no matter what zone I’m in, pvp, wvw, tyria, cannot sell to TP or merchants.
