No problem. Just wait a few days and the bgdm team should have a compatible dps meter ready

Meta will shift as balance progresses…balance is not a destination, it’s a continuous process.

I don’t like the current meta either at the moment, but this idea is silly.

The nature of MMR hell

in PvP

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

Got stuck in MMR hell in ruby around t2/t3. I mean I was on TERRIBLE losing streaks and was told to “git good”.
Played PvE and unranked for a week or so. Accidentally clicked ranked and won so I thought I’d see how I’d do. My skill level has stayed about the same.

Got to diamond in one night with one loss (technically 2 losses, but one was due to someone d/cing or quitting).

MMR hell is real. I’ve been on both sides of the coin as far kitten -6 game losing streaks to a nearly 10 game win streak.

Is anybody actually happy with Season 2?

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

No. The system picks the winner and the loser.

And winners don’t seem to realize that the system is allowing them to farm people on teams it has designed to lose.

Just played a team with 1 engi, 2 revs, and 2 dhs. My team had 3 rangers and 2 wars.

Solutions at the moment:

1. Take Breaks
2. Find a team
3. Get better (plausible, but not the issue all the time.)

I know that points aren’t everything, but if you find yourself with the most contribution including most caps/decaps and a good amount of kills while limiting deaths to 1 a match, you could be at the mercy of MMR.

Matchmaking Algorithm Is broken

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

Take a break for a day or 2.

Que dodge (wait for a few minutes before queing to avoid same losing team)

Quit til next season and hope that it’s better.

Yes, none of these suggestions have anything to do with actual skill. You are fighting the matchmaking as much as you are fighting other players.

Git Gud. L2P. Learn to Carry. /sarcasm

J/k. I know what you’re feeling. I’ve actually gotten better this season after so many kitten defeats.

However, there is only so much one can carry. For instance, today, I played til i lost 20 matches to see something.

Reached 300: 7 matches
Reached <200: 5 Matches
AFK/Quitter: 4 Matches

Most matches I’m at the top 2 score wise. But when such a large amount of losses are UNPREVENTABLE, there’s a defeatism to the entire process.

The only way out is to team up. Other than that, you are boned. You can get better and better, but the moment you lose, it will snowball.

FOX…

Just saying…

FOX is the type of player that has cost most of us between 20-30% of our losses. Idc how good he is when he decides to play, afkers are insurmountable.

afkers and people throwing matches

in PvP

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

I keep seeing teams where one person or more would stop trying and deliberately throw the match. Instead of leaving, they stay in base the entire round.

Reporting doesn’t seem to be doing much, as I see the same people doing it. Is there anything being done about this?

Don’t do stupid crap and people won’t go afk.

Examples:

From match start, two or three people cap home (and maybe even stay on it) – I go afk.

Before start you see your opponents team having two Reapers and two Dragonhunters while my team has three thieves and no one is willing to switch) – I go afk.

Match starts, one caps home, rest goes mid, immediate three people from my team are getting one-shot on mid because they don’t know how to dodge/invulnerable/block – I go afk.

Trying to communicate but nobody responds followed by a huge mess – I go afk.

I am not pro and I do not expect my teammates are the best. Just don’t do stupid crap. So if you see mee in your team, you better have some brain cells left. I am not here to make friends in PvP, I am here to win. Believe me when I say that I don’t give a crap about others, even less about complete idiots. Also do not think my opinion is unique, most afk’ers share this opinion. Maybe the only difference is that they could actually be looking for some friends, that’s probably the reason they don’t say it like I do…

Grtz…

FOX…

……..

Can we ban fox right now for botting/match throwing?

I’m glad that we have an avid example of a “too pro to play” player

Issue is that this is great for the top 10%.
However, for most others stuck in ruby hell, it’s a huge turn off.

Will the changes cause more people to play? Do you want less people playing?

Even if you’re in the top 10% (if only barely) you could still be in sapphire hell. I know people who were ruby and diamond (top1.5%?) who are having trouble in sapphire. I guess it’s a YMMV issue. I topped out at ruby last year so you need to go tighter than 10%.

When you get two thieves and a warrior on your team though and face off against lots of primordial legends you know the matchmaker hates your guts.

Hey, where did you get your rank?

I’ve been using www.gw2pvp.de and my api to determine how i’ve been doing.

And Yasi, that doesn’t address the point of this rank system.

There are other ranking systems that allow for top tier players to show off whilst also making the game engaging for the masses to enjoy (many fighting games and a few MMOs come to mind).

However, THIS ranking system seems to be encouraging only the top tier to play and everyone else to stay in a pen, pause their play for a few days, or stop playing all together.

Surely the design of a pvp season should never persuade players to stop playing. But that is exactly what this one is doing.

Now I’m not that great. Depending on class, my win ration is btwn 55-60%. However, I’ve seen some great winning streaks and some terrible losing streaks.

What bothered me about the losing streaks is that the games weren’t 400-500. They were 250 or LESS to 500. I just fought a 4man guild team with a team full of solo quers.

perhaps the gating of a legendary skin behind a mostly invisible system may be exacerbating the out cry, idk. Something just feels wrong with this.

Creating Hero Point Trains

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

I am seeing the player base complain about the very real issue of hero points without actually coming up with a VERY simple solution.

Why has no one created a hero point train for each map? Surely a group of 5 can handle at least 8/11 of the HPs on each map?

Yes, I understand the desire to do Hero Points solo; however, these HPs in HoT provide an ENTIRE MAP’S worth of Hero Points for EACH one.

I feel like a train would be a simple, elegant, and community created solution to the problem.

Why GW2 just isn't working

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

Hi.

I’m a Gwamm with a 50/50 HoM.

I prefer GW2. I believe that the community aspect in GW1 thrived because PvE was had 3-7 macro bots called henchmen and heroes that could be flagged so you could talk while doing non-elite area material.

I also believe that people often look at GW1 through rose-tinted goggles. Things that I remember the VAST majority of the community complaining about (skill capping, wall scrape exploration, PvP that locked out newbies for months) are now things that people inexplicablly put in the positive column.

I think there is a lot that GW2 could learn from GW1, but in no way, shape, or form do I believe that GW1 was better in any way outside of story delivery. An the LS2 is adopting the GW1 mission style of story, which is a wonderful change.

I understand that this is a forum and that we are all entitled to our opinion, but as a GW1 vet, please remember that there are plenty of us playing GW2 and enjoying ourselves. Keep that in mind next time you see a God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals title in GW2.

Thanks and have fun in whatever game you play…just don’t spend your time trying do advertise for it on another game’s forums…it only builds animosity towards you AND the game that you play.

How to Devalue Berserker gear without Nerfing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

Reducing the Power attribute would have insanely negative consequences…ironically, you would effect zerker armor the least because it would still be the highest damage set.

By nerfing power, you would instead increase the margin by which zerker deals more direct damage than the next set.

I believe that changing encounters (which has been done in fractals, dungeons, Living Story, and World Events) is preferable. I would also lobby for the improvement of other stats rather than the nerfing of one.

The physical experience of going through 1-40 without any resources? I don’t think that is good, atm.

Feature pack 9/9: feedback

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Vorch.2985

Vorch.2985

Here’s my short version overview:

Good stuff:

  • Trading post changes – It may have some kinks to work out, but it is FINALLY usable and searchable. Previously I was discouraged from using it due to long load times
  • Collections – Rewards are a bit off but it’s something to do. I can’t complain about having more reasons to play the game
  • BL Chest changes – Making the good stuff more common is good for both ingame payers and real money payers
  • Level up rewards – Running level 50s with level 12 gear was probably the REAL reason people were having trouble, gear and stat combos tend to take longer to learn (even for hardcore players) than skills.
  • Ranger GS and Axe changes – Because I main ranger
  • Commander tag changes – Eventually. Just give the players a little time to cool down and stop trying on their new tags
  • Changes to the WvW season achievements and rewards
  • Optimizations – I think it feels a lil better, can’t be sure though
  • Collections again – Just just… I LOVE stuff like this. I hope we have a long future of new cool collections being added to the game.

Bad stuff:

  • Nerfing the alt experience for the good of a “majority” whom we will all probably never see past level 30 anyway – Also where can we go to get our voices heard just as theirs were?
  • Arah P2 apparently broke
  • Cannot see feet in hero window
  • Can no longer auto-login in launcher
  • Female human animations got damaged even more
  • Key farm destroyed – I didn’t even like doing it that much, but it was basically the only thing that edged BL Chests on the not-immoral
  • People talking about business rather than gameplay on the forums – I almost don’t blame the devs if they don’t want to read the crap we post
  • Frost Spirit stealth nerf – It’s not just a nerf, its pretty much a removal

We are in a state of fallout though. Communication is going to be THE most important thing now. Despite the collections, we’re still afraid that those of us who love the game don’t have a future mapped out for us. We feel like we’ve all banded together for two years and plotted out what we want and what this game needs, yet somehow this mysterious “majority” got their voice heard beyond ours.

And this was pre-reinforced when after two long years of saying “out-of-combat first person zoom, out-of-combat first person zoom, out-of-combat first person zoom,” we STILL had a dev speak in an interview saying people might get confused in combat from that perspective.

Actually, pretty much this for me as well.

I do think that collections would have been a PERFECT scavenger hunt for percursors, however.

It’s a mixed review that mostly comments on how the community is receiving the feature pack.

In fact, at the bottom, he says he will post a full review later.

Play for yourself and decide for yourself. If you are a new player, it may not bother you. Veterans, however, are mostly not pleased.

Rank up in PvE/sPvP/WvW, Unlock Everything

I would like to preface this by saying I WOULD prefer that we simply go back to the old way of unlocking skills, but I am offering another alternative method for veterans and new players a like to skip the new tutorial system.

Simply put, if a player has attained a certain rank in sPvP or WvW, they should be exempt from the new tutorial process.

For instance, by rank 10 in sPVP or rank 5 in WvW, I would like to assume that a player has be acquainted with:

  • The downed state
  • Elite skills
  • Utility Skills
  • Weapon swapping

For PvE players, I would suggest that any player with a title from a particular set should also be exempt. Surely, if a player has one of the following titles unlocked, the also know how to do the previous:

  • Dungeon Master
  • Master Crafter
  • Been There, Done That
  • Golden

Utilizing titles that are account-bound as a means of testing a player’s experience would prevent veteran PvEers from having to go through the tutorial on each character. Utilizing ranks in PvP and WvW would also ensure that new players give PvP a try while offering a relatively quick way of skipping the tutorial AND ensuring that a player knows what they are doing.

GW2 exploration used to be the MMO equivalent of Skyrim: lots to learn and you were just thrust into it. You learned by DOING.

Now it’s the MMO equivalent of a traffic jam: you move extremely slowly from light to light, wondering why you ever left the house.

A TUTORIAL could have been added and would have solved the issues that the dev team saw. But instead, they used TIME GATES…which makes NO sense.

What?

It takes 2 minutes to learn, is faster, and can be done with 1 hand now.

Actually they may very well care what players think. But some players don’t think the changes are bad and I’m one of them. I didn’t like the initial trait changes, and think they need work. But this recent change is better for me as an altoholic.

OP, you might not understand why, but I wouldn’t want to go back to how it was. I prefer this current method (though the trait system still needs serious adjustment).

I love the collection changes…I just wish that there were precursors at the end of a monumental effort instead of exotics…

The new leveling system? It’s received widespread negativity. The only decent part is the cohesive story chapters, and even that is arguable.
