Guild Wars 2

It’s been over a year since the release of HoT, and one of the first bugs I encountered, the issue where Terrill Tinkerclaw’s resonator event will bug out and refuse to progress if the resonators are destroyed, is still an issue.

Can we just get a box of repair hammers? Something? Anything? Please? Terrill is standing there with his thumb up his butt while endless waves of chak pour down on him, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

(The full name of the event is “Keep the resonators running until they draw in a large target,” if you aren’t sure what I’m talking about.)

It may be your skintone messing things up – the Sylvari cultural clothing pulls from your Sylvari’s skintone to partially dye the outfit, and it looks like you’re a slightly more saturated blue than the NPC.

Considering a single piece is going for almost 30s, and a square is almost a gold. Since you need ten squares per insignia, that means each piece of exotic armor is going to cost over ten gold a pop now – I know gold’s easy to farm nowadays, but goddang.

You should be fixed now raumlet.

Thank you so much! Sorry about that.

I broke it by queuing during the update. Didn’t realize the update wasn’t done :’)

By best player I mean, more often than not I’d be the one able to hold a point or clear a point for capping – it was rare that I’d be matched with people who could hold a point unless I was on it, or be able to cap a point unless I was there (or on far, holding off two people so my team could ffffreaking cap for god’s sake). This happened on auramancer ele (my main, the class I’m best with and can hold off a 3v1 on long enough for teammates to respawn or secure a cap and come to my aid), chronoshatter mesmer, boon corrupt necro and even on my stupid off-meta GS necro build that’s entirely meant to turn the tide of team fights the moment anyone’s health gets below the cap for GS 2.

When grouped up, it mainly was that yeah, we were up against people who were just better than us. Either they outrotated us or we just didn’t have the DPS or sustain to match them in team fights; believe me, I’m not the sort to brag about my prowess. I don’t think I could step into a legendary-level match and actually hold my own. I know what I have a hard time countering (sustained condi and, embarrassingly, DHes if they’re good). I know what I CAN handle. I’m actually a little surprised I got to Diamond last season because if I had to assign myself a skill level based on the tiers, I’d say I’m low- to mid-level Ruby – but I am definitely not so kittening terrible that I should be stuck in T2 Sapphire.

Rev requires actual skill to play; I hopped onto a guard with an eye to try DH for the first time ever and was instantly terrorizing a map I’d never even played on. Now, I’m an alright player, but I didn’t even read what all of my skills did fully and I was still tearing through people. Liiiiiittle bit silly.

However, DH is actually fairly easy to deal with if you can stay out of the traps. They’re more an annoyance than anything, since a lot of the DH players you see are playing DH simply because it has such a low entry skill level.

Okay, S2 I got to Sapphire right at the end after barely playing at all – I breezed through Emerald lickety split in the last few hours. I hadn’t tried much early on because all my matches were curbstomps where it was my face hitting the pavement. In that last day, it was entirely reversed. Not fair matchmaking, frustrating to deal with.

S3, I worked my way all the way to Diamond with 3-5 games a day. I had my ups and downs, but matches generally felt fair, and most were won within 100-150 points of each other. My win/loss ratio was about 70/30. It didn’t seem to matter who I was partied up with, though I mostly stuck with two of my guildies.

This season? This season has been literal kittening hell. I played for eight hours today – eight straight hours, PvP, match after match. Solo queue, with different groups, praying that something would change and I would get out of TIER TWO SAPPHIRE. I was consistently the best player on my team but I was matched with people I simply could not carry. 500 to 150 losses, consistently. Two losses, a win, two losses, two wins, three losses – I ended up with fewer pips than I started with. And what to show for it? Literally kittening nothing.

This was not a fun season, and a lot of people I know are in a similar boat. I don’t know what anet was thinking going back to S1 matchmaking.

Same here. A friend and I were both kicked at the same time, but friends on the same server in the same area are still logged in.
