Plagueland is terrible. The enemy team was just clueless. Must have been a low Mmr match. With a teensy bit if map awareness its easily avoided. If it was placed on a enemy and radiated out from him, THEN it would be useful.
fishball how to you explain me being legendary on one account and maintaining that by playing mutliple games a day, and not being able to get out of gold on an alt account. that proves there is something fishy with the system. either way if i belong to legendary or to gold. maintaining the 2 on different accounts..hmm
not to mention on multiple games the whole team dying on mid point to an all out trap guard. they dont even daze now. how the hell do you get killed by the traps.
matches are stacked. i cant climb past high tier gold on my alt account while im legendary on my main playing 3 or 4 games a day keeping the same tier pretty much. to me this proves there can be circumstances under which its near impossible to climb out. take for example my last game on my alt. i went druid. i won some 2v1s and supported team fights best i could. they couldnt kill kitten while my teammates were getting downed left and right. thief on our team wasnt decapping far and constantly getting downed in team fights. i went guardian half way through and we started winning. we got tranq and we looked like we could win. until i saw our whole team fighting off point near home..and lo and behold what do i see? home getting decapped and me pinging to get home, while i win the 2v1 fight against me on mid. they go on to lose the between node fight while home gets capped…wth! this is high end gold. just 1 game away from platinuum. these guys are blatantly making mistakes that the other team isnt and mistakes that i know better NOT to make. i know im better than high end gold. i have a main account that i do well with in legendary. so yes under the right cirumstances there IS an ELO hell
i like this idea. its too easy to use the jump pads. you can face any way and youll get bounced up to the second level. thats why i didnt want skyhammer to become a rated game. it still gives too much advantage to certain classes. especially mes.
i was noticing while hitting guardians with shield up that when i had signet of the wild up that it hit past their blocks. i was right in front of them shooting them with the bow autoattack right into their shield. they either buffed signet of the wild and forgot to update the description or its a bug. i tested it out on a warrior, mes and guardian friend with the same results. i havent tested it out in pve but in pvp it surely is bugged
Please do not add skyhammer to ranked. Still a terrible map. The second objective is horrible. It can flip the match but its not really worth going for. But if someone does go you have to dedicate someone to go defend it. If your down its more beneficial to try and take than it is to try and defend it if your up with multiple points. Its like having a 4th node. Which like on capricorn I think isn’t conducive to good play. Not to mention the bad camera angles at every pillar.
battle of kyhlo is an esl, pro league approved map. but, in the heart of the mists they do not have a trebuchet you can attack. im offended because this is my favorite map and i want to practice my treb killing skillz. you have the forest creatures and lord and practice dummies but no attackable trebuchet. please fix asap or this will ruin my pvp experience for good.
I have to say, I really don’t understand the complaining about DH at all. They are not OP at all and actually need a buff, not a nerf, to be competitive at pro level (which is what the game should be balanced around in my opinion) because it is hardly ever used at the moment. I also have to say the class stacking is not a problem either. If I see 3+ guards on the enemy team I feel pretty confident that we are going to win because it really is not a good composition at all. Guard is fairly easy to play compared to a thief, Rev or mes for example but when things are played to their maximum potential or close to it, a guard is not brilliant (it’s good, but not fantastic) so I really would not appreciate a guard nerf next patch.
Things like Druid are in need of much more of a nerf than guard is in my honest opinion.
If your argument is sound, it should stand up to an analogy. What you’re basically saying is tax laws should be created and balanced based on the top 1% of income earners.
this cracks me up. you can make up any analogy to fit your propaganda. lets see, " lets fund research for a mircale cure for the top 1% of the chronically sick." hmm sounds positive to me. you can make up anything to fit your agenda. secondly your comparing worldy situations with fantasy in game situations. every game should be balanced around the best players. they are the ones that generate the most income for the company. new players can still do well on meta builds created by top players and they will be mostly be matched with other players of like skill and will never know or quit the game because of it being balanced by the top players. yes lets base balance around people with mediocre knowledge of the classes they play. makes sense to me. thanks for your pointless analogy.
til you fix the pvp problems. at least shut down rated pvp….i lost 10 games because of my ranger teleporting a far aways away with the search and rescue trait. then ive lost gamesbecause of that bug…the ranger short on health goes to res and gets deported way away and comes back full health before we cap. then on my guardiAN symbol of blades doesnt teleport you half the time. and still there is the downed bug. saw necro do it on a far point that lost it for us…get your kitten together anet or youll have another quitter
the first time i win 3 times its gets me 2 pips. after that i get one pip per win. yet another bug keeping me from legendary because i would have ,ade oit there with the 2 pips a win…give me legendary or il will quit this game for good and boycott you all over facebook and twitter
on legacy of foe fire everytime i try to revive someone on mid point it teleports me to the front gate. this has lost me 3 games. im on my druid when it happens and have search and rescue traited which he hollers “search and rescue” right before he teleports to the gate. pretty sure its just a foefire bug since i havent had this hapen on any other map. this is detrimental…take foefire out of the lineup until this is fixed
so theres a thread that was locked a few posts down. the issue was still there but the thread was locked because it was “necro’ed”. 3 months ago doesnt seem like a necro especially if its an ongoing issue. ive had a post deleted because the topic was already posted upon. i know they want the information to be concise and succinct and organized. so we create a new post even if we find the same one from 3 months ago and can expound upon it?
so we are fighting 2v2 on a mid point in a rated game and we manage to down both. we go to stomp and they get rallied by a kill pretty far off point…..has happened multple times to me. they were not engaged with these others a good distance off point. they shouldnt have been rallied. needless to say it lost us the close game.
legendary in seasons 1-3…cant get past sapphire this season. lose a match win a match lose a match win a match. so FINALLY i get a couple of win in a row. oh gonna get my extra pip on my third win….uhhh nope. its a close game. both teams are bad. they of course have 3 guardians a scrapper and a druid. tanky team right? so we (I suggested they sorta followed) play sides. so we are gaining moment and im on far point on my druid 3v1, i lose the point and they cap it but im dancing around in and out of stealth and all three keep chasing so i think…meh what they hell. ill keep em busy. meanwhile i look at the map and our necro and guardian bypass home being taken to come far…the rev and scrapper bypasses home to go mid. rev dies 2v1 to guardian scrapper then proceeds to get 2v1d himself and dies….i mean….this is the epitome of stupidity. stuff happens like this EVERY match and the matches we do win i barely carry and we barely scrap by with a win. i know for a fact im not sapphire material. for me this has been the worst matchmaking yet.
ive been looking for rev guides and cant find any. in rated pvp what is your goal exactly? what weaknesses do you have and how do you rotate? it would be nice to get a rev pvp guide. also the guide should include rotations and such which i am confused on as well.
this matchmaking is the worst. all my games go according to this scenario. (bear in mind ive been legendary x 4 all 3 seasons). so i started late and im stuck in sapphire. so the last game i had in the last 5 minutes dictates all the games ive had thus far…(currently 20). im playing warrior and i decide to go far since the enemy team has 2 thieves and i know 1 of them will take home. i go far and proceed to kill the 2 teefs…a warrior comes while i fully cap the point and i drop him. dont get to stomp because low and behold the 3 teefs come back. im cleaving on the warrior and manage to down 1 teef. the warrior decides to vengeance and i get downed a few seconds later. as him and the teef are stompimg…the warrior loses the vengeance and i get rezzed. i proceed to down the teef and look up at the map…the only point that is capped in blue team favor is my point. so i kill the teefs 2 times each and the warrior once…f lives….and yet my team cant take our 2 other points. so i change my startegy and i include myself in the teamfights but the nodes i wasnt on…were lost..we didnt lose bad..only by 50 points but…with me winning 3v1s..my team should have capatalized much better than that…this has happened on on 20 of my games and im becoming bored of this crap fest.
just wondering because i was hanging around heart of the mists earlier today (weird I know because we can que from anywhere) and noticed a few sapphires and rubys hanging around the test dummys (yes I know the ranks don’t have much to do with actual skill) and when I finally get in the ranked game…I had 2 sapphires and one ruby on my team. I was legendaryx2 last season. anyways we proceed to lose the match horribly. I’m playing druid and winning 1vs2s and sustaining a bunch of 1vs3s and I look at the map and where I’m not at…we don’t have points and my team is losing fights that they greatly outnumber.
why I’m I being matched with sapphires. and if I am tanking my mmr because of being teamed with lower ranks then this needs to be changed. if its not affecting my ranked mmr then I’m fine.
The math behind it says so. I agree they could silence a lot of the discussion by actually publishing your MMR. Keep in mind that ruby is full of people like me now. The good players are all out of it, so you have to find a way to win without top tier players on your team.
regardless of mmr im a way above average player whos has gotten stuck in ruby when im legendary on another account and was legendary the last 2 seasons on both accounts. you dont get to see your actual mmr…how the hell do you know it doesnt tank it as bad? it sure as hell did mine. i get complete ignoramus’ in ruby. MMR hell is indeed real.
set math in an ever changing fluid environment can never be wrong? hmm. interesting.
there are so many elements involved that math isnt end all be all. im stuck in a mmr hell and i know it. i can recreate the same experience and promise you cant climb out of a certain bracket. i will even pay for a new account..tank the mmr and let you climb out of the non existent mmr hell. you game?

MMR hell is indeed real.
imagine that. let me rain on your parade a bit. of course its easy to get diamond this late into the season. all the good players have already got legendary/high tier diamond.
the mmr hell is real. i have 1 account where i made legendary quite easy in the first 2 weeks of the season. on my other account im stuck in ruby. win a game lose a game win a game lose 2 games. i can never progress. i can play warrior/ele/and druid proficiently and switch according to team comp. i know how to rotate and counter rotate, i know how to communicate and i try to impress these ideals on those around me who have no clue. in the end you can only carry so much. i was legendary on both accounts season 1 and 2 as well.
on the said account stuck at ruby i was unfortunate to come across several FULL premades and went against many pro league players and it tanked my mmr. the mmr hell is alive and well.
it is indeed a nerf. it isn’t as bad some people think. i can still put out good numbers and do pretty good damage but nothing like before. i was easily doing 700k to 1 million damage in games. now im doing about 500-600k. and the fights are dragging out just as long as back then. plus now our defense is nerfed a bit too without as much chill uptime. i think the nerf was unjustified. sure we did kitten tons of damage when you let us..but a competent team can easily shut out a necro…as seen in pro leagues. necro always the first to die..being focused down..having to play super defensive..destroying all damage.
Not a l2p…I don’t want it because I accidentally leave shroud..spaming a skill will give faster results than clicking it once, while your having to pay attention to everything else and might not click it just in time to save yourself. Talking from a PvP standpoint
so a few pro league necros were using sigil of intell and (hydromancy?) I believe on the staff. was just wondering what the method behind their madness was on these sigil choices. seems like leeching or geomancy would be a better choice.
I agree with this. There are times when I want to spam death shroud When its almost off of CD and I’m being focused down in PvP only to have me hit the button just a fraction of a second too slow and die. Being able to spam it right when it becomes available would have saved me numerous times.
So I just hit diamond a few days ago and learned that to climb through diamond, you really have to correctly rotate. I’ve seen a few guides on proper rotations but they only vaguely touch the topic. Can any1 provide a goid rotation guide? Last night I played 20 matches with a 50% win rate. The ones we lost I got chided for not rotating right. Also to note the ones I lost were very close so it may be a rotation issue.
I’m under the impression that to rotate properly you pretty much want to try to +1 fight and try to stagger the opposing team to where they can never fully regroup. And if you lose a fight it’s better to disengage and regroup before YOU get staggered. Anyways in all the games ive played everyone else is adamant on not going far. This is illogical IMO. Anytime you can get a decap or a cap shouldn’t be looked over.
On one of the closer point games I was playing the only necro on both teams and they were running a super heavy power comp. It was a classic 1 4 1 and I went mid with 3 others. I was playing super defensive but was the first to be downed. When I respawned I saw we were losing mid. In my mind it would be pointless to go mid and be a free kill and pointless to go home because the rest of the team would respawn and be close to home and easily defend. So I went far and was able to decap AND get the cap. 1v1d and beat a rev and defended against another that came til a teammate came and I was 1v2… I disengaged and went mid all the while we kept home. Mid fight they kill me first again…and through the whole game I kept decapping and capping far for a good amount of time. I only did that if I saw mid was a lost fight. IMO we just got outplayed. The whole team protested that I was at fault. And to never go far. Any tips or constructive criticism would be nice. Sorry for the long post.
i have been playing around with signet of fury lately. i notice sometimes it resets your burst when its on cooldown..is it supposed to do that? nowhere on the description does it say it does. also under what circumstances DOES it reset your burst..because sometimes it doesnt.
it launches up but gets stuck at the patcher. sometimes it gets stuck at 1% the other times it isnt even showing that its patching and sits there doing nothing.
the hammer is the most telegraphed weapon.i have no problem dodging the attacks especially with ranged classes, and if I do get hit by the cc chain its easy to get out of or negate. ie: stun breakers,blinds,blink/shadowstep/infi strike, distortion….etc. hammer is indeed powerful if hit by the whole cc chain but your just bad if you do. this is indeed a l2p issue. hammer SHOULD NOT be nerfed…whats your opinion on warrior hammer?
