Guild Wars 2

Listen we understand the queue times may be a little longer. However I think you will find most of us are willing to accept that if it means the matches will be balanced. We enjoy competition and want a good fight. So of my favorite matches have been ones I lost. 498 to 500. Very intense fun battles. Well matched.

Veydar,

I agree to a point with you. Your right, you will be winning and progressing and then suddenly you’ll be facing a team lightyears ahead of you which is not a good dynamic.

I think there should be rating tiers. if your in the top 1000 then you should only face 90% and up. Then 80% to 89%, 70% to 79% or something to that affect. It can be based on the team average not individual for the match making. This will in theory keep progression on the same level and will prevent mis match tournaments.

In reality if your top 1000 your queue times should be long. If I’m ranked in the top 10 on the leader boards and my team queues it should take a while for another team equal rating to join. It keeps it fair and balanced. I know when I get a match and the team is a bunch of newbies I don’t want to play. Its no fun to monkey stomp rank 1 and 2’s. Its pointless.

I am sure this has been posted before and will be posted again. The match making system needs to seriously be adjusted and have some developer attention. Constantly we are being matched up against top teir Premades(Leaderboards rank 1-500). The match goes 500 to 40….

What I mean is: I maintain about a 70% on the leaderboards. Several times a day while solo queuing I will be facing teams where 4 of the 5 players are in the top 500 rank on the leaderboards while my teammates are all lower 70% with a pvp rank level of 20 or below.

I don’t mind going against premades while solo queing providing they are on equal rating average.

If you was to fix this problem with premades then people complaining about solo queue will have that much less to complain about. Apples for apples the premade team will have the same ability as the other team. No what will make the difference is the team work and no so much the player skill. I am ok with that.

Please look at the match making and fix. I as a lower ranked player should never face anyone in the top 100 player base…… That would be like the NFL Denver Bronco’s playing against a middle school JV team.. That just doesn’t happen. EVER.

Thanks,
Concerned PVP’er

This is unbelievable. At least give us the option to disable it. Who cares what spectators want. Its about the players playing that matter. Get your stuff together ANET.

I agree this needs to be addressed. I only do tournament PVP. I never play in hotjoin and because of this my rank and achievement track has been drastically affected.

I will let all you guys complaining about rangers in a downstate being overpowered.

SUPER SECRET TIP! THE PRO’S DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW.

If the ranger is down….and your having a hard time getting the stomp in… KILL THE PET….or CC the pet

So my POST was removed by the forum mod!?!? for whatever reason.. I guess ANET is about censorship and I struck a cord. I do not see how my post was rude or unfriendly. ANET get your stuff together.. Thank you. See the above replay that has a copy of my original post. Nothing directed towards anyone, not rude remarks.

I agree with Maxi. I do not play Hotjoins because there is no skill involved in zerging around just to get as many points as possible. tPVP matches should provide a higher bonus of glory and rank points than what a hot join can offer.

The reward system is very flawed. I had hundreds of match win chests saved up because my mouse can’t take the abuse of opening them and destroying the items that come out of them. Its completely worthless. Even glory is worthless and not useable. There is no incentive to keep playing what so ever.

If we could get a rating system where we have a tangible goal that would be a step in the right direction. We have something to play for. As it stands now there is not incentive to play team based PVP. Take note of other game systems and come up with a better solution than we have now.

1. Provide a tangible rating we can see in game so we know where and how we stand after each match.

2. Offer new gear sets based of percentile as said by MaXi.

3. Add a bonus to the glory booster which is only affected when in Tourney based matches. Currently it reads “gain 50% more glory for 1-hour”. Have a second modifier on it that reads “gain 150% more glory for 1-hour in Tournament Matches Only”

Unfortunately the way the system is designed with gear your are limited to the type of rewards that can be offered. This is due to creating a fair PVP environment that is not purely stat based but skill based. That is great! So we need something like ratings, ladder position, and titles or something to make it worthwhile.

Thanks

ANET Please for the sake of your own game! Create a separate button to spectate matches!!! I am tired of joining a server and going directly to spectate mode only to find out the match is full.

This is very annoying and wastes my time.

Agreed. First I am at 35% Percentile and have over 117 tournament Win’s. I am generally the top player in every match. I generally get multiple top stat awards from killing, capping points and whatever else.

Seriously with people in the top 1000 having only a total of 15 games played I should have a much higher rating than those people. Your formula is flawed and should be adjusted.

I think the current model should be reworked. Got with a flat rating system. Have it reset once a quarter or whatever time limit you deem fit. This way everyone has another chance to catch up or attempt to be competitive again.

Didn’t mean to hijack there. I do agree with your post.

You guys need to stop complaining about solo que vs premades…

If you don’t want to play tournament style then don’t. If you solo queue then you do so at your own risk.

Smart thing to do would be to create a group and play that way if you can’t stand pug’s in tournaments.

Remember it is TOURNAMENT PVP. there is another sPVP you can go play.

Quit complaining about this. There are more important aspects we should be addressing. Like Class balancing, Rating system, etc….

Thanks

Yes, I will not play tournament matchs while spirit watch is the map. Please remove it from tournament matches.

With the release of the leaderboards I think Anet you need to do a global reset of win/loss on everyone’s tournament matches.. This is only to keep it fair. I understand for the need few days or however long you deem fit to work out the bugs you keep it as is.

Other MMO’s do this regularly to keep the team PVP competitive vs the people who play 24/7 and go for volume over actually quality.

You also should release a numeral rating so we have something to compare with on how well we are doing or not doing.

This is my 2 cents. Please keep comments constructive…
