Guild Wars 2

yes

i said so earlier but no one seems to give a kitten about it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/don-t-duo-tri-queue/6002804

if you queue 2 man or 3 man , there is a high chance your team will face off a full 5 man team.

if you queue as a 4 man group, there is a high chance your team will face off non full 5 man teams however.

what professions are you playing ?

whats holding you back ?

most casual players should be able to reach ruby even if they play 3 ranked games per day.

I’m playing Druid and occasionally Mesmer.

I am mostly working on:
– Identifying best rotations for situations
- Identifying winnable and unwinnable fights.
- Awareness of where my team and enemy are on the map.
- Skill combos.
- Judgement calls between stomp and res.

There are other area’s for improvements but these are the ones that have the most impact on my play style.

I don’t mind being in Emerald. I’m just sick of being spawn camped.

hmmm druid and mesmer.
perhaps you can try out reaper as well ?

reaper is not that hard to play.
well, for me, at least.

anyway, that is just 1 sapphire with 9 emeralds. probably a fresh sapphire.

Ohoni.6057:

I’ve beaten pre-mades before too, and sure, being a pre-made doesn’t guarantee anything alone, but it does typically indicate a level of coordination that you aren’t likely to get out of a pug. For example, a pre-made is more likely to have voice coms, more likely to have a well balanced party comp, and more likely to have individual strategies worked out.

Keeping such premades quarantined from the general population is just common sense, if you want balanced matches.

nope.

casual players group together and queue together as well.

no voice communication.
no well balanced party comp.

stop blaming premades for your losses.

moa is fine, been since always.

moa can be blocked by aegis, can be evaded.

just because it has counterplay doesn’t mean it isn’t broken as kitten. are you going to be able to see a mesmer try to moa your kitten in the middle of a teamfight?

nope.
thats a good moa !

You won and it was a close game – what the hell are you moaning about here? I get 500-100 games in 5 vs 5 all soloq.

It’s just that 5 premades vs 1+1+1+2 is not fair on paper. And I thought they stated this would not be possible anymore.
The game was good, indeed. But that is just cause that premades probably were drunk and not on Teamspeak.

only 5 vs 11111 will not exist.
others still happen.

5 vs 1112
5 vs 122
5 vs 113
5 vs 14

FFMFeliciano.7526:

’nuf said. Kappa.

your team have a 2-man party.
not full solos.

well what kind of pvp guild you are looking for ?

hardcore pvp guild ?
casual pvp guild ?

i have a casual pvp guild in NA servers.

if team scores are tied, total personal score of team members will determine winning team.

there is no draw.

diamond league is that bad huh?

who is free to play stronghold after 10 minutes ?
i’m gonna feed my daughter now and let her sleep.

looking for emerald / amber division players as i am still in 7/20 emerald.

i got a strange opening tactic drafted up in my casual pvp guild’s message of the day.

whos interested ?

nah, league tickets should only come from crossing league divisions.

Peteris.5936:

I thought that matchmaking system is supposed to make matches between equally skilled opponents. But it doing anything except that. Its so far worst matchmaking system that I ever seen (and I mean exactly that).

current match making find 4 other players with similar skill to you and put you in a team of 5.

it does not consider the other team ’s skill level.

you earn 1 pip for a win
you lose 1 pip for a loss

you earn 1 extra pip on your 3rd consecutive wins and onwards

that’s all.

i play guild wars 2 very casually.

other games that i own on steam i’m playing casually now.

spellweaver
kaju a go go
ancient domains of mystery (been quite a few days since i played this though)

no, keep it.

its fine as it is.

hello!

any good stronghold meta and opening tactics to share ?

for example, if all 5 go on the defensive lane and kill all the attackers before we go and summon our mobs and attack their lane, would that work?

discuss and share!

perhaps the MMR gains loss in close matches should be revised ?

for example,

480 – 500

lost the match, -1 pip, fine, fair.

but,
what if the 480 team is predicted to lose due to lower team MMR ?

at least increase their MMR by a bit, or do not increase, due to good effort in trying to win.

discuss!

If somebody runs in first and is first to die, they are doing the wrong thing. As soon as someone is being focused, they need to get out of that situation. Be patient at mid, there is no need to go and sit on a neutral point to die. If i get focused hard at mid, i get back behind my team, around walls and such (Los them) until i know i am good to go again. You can get kills this way as well, they follow you to there death. GL with your team.

Yeah just watched some Twitch streams and idk why not a lot of people just leave mid when it’s obvious the cap is gone. Like as soon as someone died, the rest of the team at mid dispersed instead staying mid to just die. Still I’m in Ruby T1 and when I solo Q it’s no different. Team loses 4v4 at start and everything just falls apart from there. Will make sure to pass along this info on my next matches. Thanks m8.

what if u proposed them to open with

3 far
2 home

on some map it works

the 4 foes reach mid, empty, suddenly realize their home defender died in seconds.

your team got 2 cap at start, and they are down by 1 member, and they must decide to zerg or split.

perhaps it might be easier if anet changed the pvp system so that naked characters behave as if they have full armor on.

Littlefeather.8623:

SlimChance.6593:

Use chat!!

Don’t spam chat, but use it to let your team know whats happening. i.e. If you find yourself outnumber and you go down. Let the team know, where and how many are there.

“I’m down, 3 at home”

“4 at mid”

This and the mini map, should let your team make good choices on where to rotate or where NOT to rotate.

Taking 15 seconds to type something isn’t going to work with almost every interaction the other players do. If I need to tell the person to stomp in chat that takes about 5-6 seconds, and more for them to register and actually do it, it’s faster just doing it myself, If I explain to a person why are they off the point stomping when they clearly have a range weapon it takes longer for me to get them to realize what’s going on then actually doing it myself. If I have to tell some one to res me when I’m trying to res or rally, I can’t type res me when I’m about to get stomped. etc, etc, I could go on and on…

I admit there are situations where you can type something while auto running to a point where I have a few seconds to type something but one cannot simply expect to be handheld in every single situation in pvp…

it only takes 1 or 2 seconds to type

2 home
3 mid

etc

its been a while since i came back to this topic but i’m back yay!

in season 3 please consider adding some 5 stats amulets!

thanks!

now would be a good time to introduce 5 stats amulets !

900 Power
900 Condition Damage
560 Vitality
560 Toughness
560 Precision

which profession / build kills which profession / build at the moment ?

i.e.
good dragon hunter / druid kills average reaper
good reaper kills average scrapper

etc

thanks!

and oh,

discuss!

now i don’t wanna queue because that idiot has just returned to the pvp lobby.

: (

You can block him and will never see him in your team or your enemy team right?

Blocking a player doesn’t prevent the system to place you with/against him.

at least i can use it to check if that idiot is in the pvp lobby or not.
i wont queue if that idiot is in the pvp lobby. : (

now i don’t wanna queue because that idiot has just returned to the pvp lobby.

: (

well not really.

if the other team is not that good then it is not really a 4 v 5.

it happened in amber / emerald division.

: (

why don’t they ban idiots for AFKing base because we have a warrior in the team ?

: (

the whole point of conquest is to force uneven team fights in your team’s favor so you get to kill the other team members effectively.

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/220170/ayy.jpg

see the above attached screen shot.
the end match score board will show you the parties.

and

5 vs 2 1 1 1
occur very often.

where’s your end match screen shot ?

you need to check the end match scoreboard to make sure

5 vs 1 1 1 1 1

does not exist anymore

the following will occur

5 vs 1 4
5 vs 1 1 3
5 vs 2 3
5 vs 2 2 1

what if, new players have zero MMR instead of average MMR ?

new players deserve to be put together with their own (new players or really really low MMR players) and get farmed by veterans, and not expect veterans to carry them.

discuss !

Cyhann.2609:

Why can’t I just buy pips instead? Same thing.

not really. different.

you got a 3 man group in your team.

its working as intended.

patch notes meant there will not be a 5 vs 1 1 1 1 1 anymore

5 vs 1 1 3
5 vs 1 4
5 vs 1 1 1 2
still good.

hotcarl.8621:

This sounds like pay2win to me; I definitely don’t support this idea. Yes, it can be frustrating, but losing points is part of the risk of queuing ranked.

nope. not pay to win. :p
pay to not lose a pip! XD

you still need an actual win to get new pips!

Angina.9314:

yesterday, i could use 20 of those

hmmm that might be very expensive !

if they do make something like these for the gem store, i’m thinking maybe they would price it the same like black lion keys ?

i.e.

Vendor Location Cost
Gem Store – 125 Gem.png
Gem Store – 5 / 450 Gem.png
Gem Store – 25 / 2,100 Gem.png

or if they are really brutal, they could make it only have some chance of appearing inside black lion chests!

maybe that would be overkill, killing off any interest of people wanting to buy it.

better to just sell it straight off the gem store.

i’m still in amber actually. i think 7/15 amber.
don’t have much time to play ranked.

can only spare around 3 – 4 games during the day time on mondays till fridays.

this proposal will not benefit me of course since i cannot get any win streaks, but it would get the better players out of my division fast so i can duke it out with other average players!

for season 3,
maybe can consider introducing new gem store item

meet the pip protector or pip guard,
final name pending anet’s approval of course!

if you would lose and lose a pip, pip protector or pip guard prevents that one pip loss!

for example, using one pip protector or pip guard would add one stack of pip shield to your pips, preventing pip loss on a ranked match loss!

to protect your previous pips at
emerald 3/20 7/20 11/20 15/20 19/20
sapphire 4/25 9/25 14/25 19/25 24/25

or even 29/30 ruby or 34/35 diamond

pip protector or pip guard would not work in the legendary division though.

you could use them at any pip levels of course, but it would be more economical to save them when you are just one pip away from the next save tier or new division

of course, this mean you still have to win in order to secure new pips!

discuss !

Zietlogik.6208:

The only way i can see the system being abused is in pre-ruby divisions. Sitting at a 0 pip tier, losing a bunch to get the 2 pip bonus, then going for win streak? So you would get 2, 1, 1, 2—-?

Seems like a waste of time…for a “guaranteed pip”

yup.

except that these idiots could be unaware that they are ruining it for others and themselves.

removing the losing streak bonus may kills off any motivation of them attempting this.

but it would be for season 3 onward, since it is probably too late to change anything in season 2.

Chapell.1346:

Is it too late for pip booster through gemstore?

actually i’m thinking about a pip protector or pip guard. but that would be for season 3 and another new topic.

be right back.

making new topic.

Sarrs.4831:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

ooo you wanna improve my proposal?

Nah if you have an increase for every game you’ll have people paying off the other team to get their wins to hit instalegend.

but what are the odds of the other team agreeing to being paid ?

and what’s stopping them from receiving the monies and still steam rolling them ?

Ohoni.6057:

No, they just shouldn’t be getting paired together against pushovers and getting win streaks like they are. The streaks are the problem.

hmm sorry but i still dun understand what you are trying to say.

Sarrs.4831:

I wouldn’t mind a second tier of winstreak bonus. Stomp pubs, power through never hurt anyone.

In addition to
3 wins+ = 2 pips per game
5+ wins = 3 pips per game

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

why not?

Ohoni never wins so it wouldn’t do anything for him :^)

ooo you wanna improve my proposal?
did i get that right ?

1st win = 1 pip
2nd win = 1 + 1 pips (3 total pips)
3rd win = 2 + 2 pips (7 total pips)
4th win = 2 + 3 pips (12 total pips)
5th win = 3 + 4 pips (19 total pips, graduate from 15/15 amber, 4/20 emerald)
6th win = 3 + 5 pips (27 total pips)
7th win = 3 + 6 pips (36 total pips, graduate from 20/20 emerald, 1/25 sapphire)
8th win = 3 + 7 pips (46 total pips, graduate from 20/20 emerald, 1/25 sapphire)
9th win = 3 + 8 pips (57 total pips)
10th win = 3 + 9 pips (69 total pips, graduate from 25/25 sapphire, 9/30 ruby)
11th win = 3 + 10 pips (82 total pips)
12th win = 3 + 11 pips (96 total pips, graduate from 30/30 ruby, 6/35 diamond)
13th win = 3 + 12 pips (111 total pips)
14th win = 3 + 13 pips (127 total pips, graduate from 35/35 diamond, 2/25 legendary)
15th win = 3 + 14 pips (144 total pips)
16th win = 3 + 15 pips (162 total pips, graduate from 25/25 legend x1, 12/25 legend x2)

yes ?

Ohoni.6057:

No.

Let’s not.

why not?

we don’t want those super high MMR players staying in the low divisions for far too long.

this will help them get back into the divisions they belong.

i know i wont be getting any win streak bonus but why not improve it for those who can? so they can graduate out of amber / emerald / sapphire / ruby faster and duke it out with one another in diamond / legendary

currently, win streak bonus is

1st win = 1 pip
2nd win = 1 pip (2 total pips)
3rd win = 1 + 1 pips (4 total pips)
4th win = 1 + 1 pips (6 total pips)
5th win = 1 + 1 pips (8 total pips)
6th win = 1 + 1 pips (10 total pips)
7th win = 1 + 1 pips (12 total pips)
8th win = 1 + 1 pips (14 total pips)
9th win = 1 + 1 pips (16 total pips, graduate from 15/15 amber, 1/20 emerald)
…
100th win = 1 + 1 pips

too stale. too slow.
it takes pros 9 wins in a row to graduate from amber.
lets spice that up shall we ?

what if, the win streak bonus keeps on increasing and never stops?

proposed:

1st win = 1 pip
2nd win = 1 + 1 pips (3 total pips)
3rd win = 1 + 2 pips (6 total pips)
4th win = 1 + 3 pips (10 total pips)
5th win = 1 + 4 pips (15 total pips, graduate from 15/15 amber, 0/20 emerald)
6th win = 1 + 5 pips (21 total pips)
7th win = 1 + 6 pips (28 total pips)
8th win = 1 + 7 pips (36 total pips, graduate from 20/20 emerald, 1/25 sapphire)
9th win = 1 + 8 pips (44 total pips)
10th win = 1 + 9 pips (54 total pips)
11th win = 1 + 10 pips (65 total pips, graduate from 25/25 sapphire, 5/30 ruby)
12th win = 1 + 11 pips (77 total pips)
13th win = 1 + 12 pips (90 total pips, graduate from 30/30 ruby, 0/35 diamond)
14th win = 1 + 13 pips (104 total pips)
15th win = 1 + 14 pips (119 total pips)
16th win = 1 + 15 pips (135 total pips, graduate from 35/35 diamond, 10/25 legendary)

basically, real good legendary players would be back in legendary after 16 straight wins, where they belong, and will continue to rake in those pips that they deserved.

the current win streak system is too slow, average players are unnecessarily butchered and fed to them in order for them to climb out of the lower divisions, it takes too long.

improve the win streak bonus drastically so that they go back into the divisions where they really belong.

discuss !

chill is fine really as some professions can remove it very easily.
