Guild Wars 2

why the Game suddenly looks so blurry? did anyone else notice?

no need to explain it , the devs should know it if they have testet it out long enought. this matchmaking is a joke.

rank 100-200 on Leaderboard get matched with people which arent on the Leaderboard….

and how leaderboard is working , very bad designed. i did exspect some better pvp content by the makers of Gw1. i am so dissapointed.

good thing is battlefield 4 comes out soon so i dont need to continue playing this broken game.

and i tell you why ,this game have not enought pvp players and if you play outside of primetime you get punished and lose many games because you get noobs in your team and then you lose your rank , and when you lose your rank aka rating then you get matched with even more noobs and so on.

very bad working system. and that matchmaking is even more worse i dont need to explain.

i tell you why , i was top 30 the first 3 days after release of solo queue and solo queue leaderboards. when i did play i had to play against and with good players like suldaris , phantaram , teldo and many more just to name some. Until i started to play solo queue outside of the primetime my rank got worse and worse even tought i had a high mmr i got many newbies in my group because the good players with high mmr rating did stop playing solo queue after 2-3 days of release and afraid to lose their ranks or sleep and work outside of primetime. I had like 10 min waiting time to pop solo queue game.

it was really a nice experience to play with and against one of the best players but now some days later i am on rank 100+ on leaderboards and it get more worse every day because of my lower mmr rating i get now matched with more newbies and it wont get better if those which are on top 30 decided to stop playing because they are afraid to lose their ranks.

this system is really bad , it force you to not play outside of primetime and it rewards those which only play at primetime or stopped played solo queue to not lose the rank.

what you guys think about it?

MOOOOOAAAR NECROS AND RANGERS

the worst meta ever……this is a prove to me that arenanet devs have no clue about pvp.

John Corpening.9847:

Most of you guys have this dead on. It will take some time for ratings to settle and MMR to improve.

Many players from our community asked us to create SoloQ to give players from hot join a next step up into how competitive PvP plays. For many people who only know the less structured mode of hot join this will be a training ground to develop them into competitive team players.

The best thing that you guys can do as our more advanced players is to help coach and guide these raw recruits with some strategy tips in team chat. Have patience with them. I’ve been playing this morning and have seen some amazing players really step up and do this. Our community never ceases to impress me with how awesome you all can be.

sorry but i have one question , will the team arena leaderboards get resetet since there is now team arena and solo arena leaderboards? it would makes sense , because before the premades could farm the randoms.

solo queue tpvp + solo queue leaderboards is the best pvp patch so far. no more randoms vs premades and you can now also play solo if teammates are not online etc.

ok it does work again

Tpvp disabled? cant sign up anymore since latest Patch at 27.07.2013 after patching.

Chaos Archangel.5071:

Wow.. Epic fail? Because of two classes getting a new condition that we know barely anything about or how they’ll be able to apply? What about the fact that they also mentioned that some builds are getting nerfed? Or that nearly every class is getting some skill/trait tweaks?

Seriously… Its like any new thing that gets released/mentioned someone is going to cry about because it wasn’t specifically what they wanted.

not epic fail because of the new condition , but i smell bad balancing changes for every class in general + the fact that there is still no solo vs solo Tpvp signup and premade vs premade Tpvp signup and no solo leaderboard rankings.

they can also make a 2vs2 Tpvp signup aswell , so people can play atleast with 1 friend tpvp when the whole team is not online.

no solo queue and no solo ranking leaderboards yet? and i smell bad balancing changes …..so another 1-2 months to wait till tpvp is playable.

Romek.4201:

no news to soloQ so no hope for me – i just dont care for spectatormode or private arenas, im a normal player and dont need this

tried today again soloQ and 5 matches in a row vs premade and one was vs a team with 2 ppl from team IDL and 1 from Chieftain ninjas all rank 50-60 and top 20 leaderboards. im on 70% and my team was max rank 30. lost any hope in this game^^

edit: @primtime EU

so true….

please dont listen to this tread opener. solo queue is needed + a ranking ladder for solo queue.

right now solo/randoms players have to face premades , this should never happen in any pvp game for the sake of competition (and it doesnt matter if its a mmo/shooter/rts game etc.) . Everyone who have an other oppnion about pvp and this issue is just a pve player and no real pvp player.

arenanet just need to fix the broken matchmaking system and make a solo/random vs solo/random tpvp sign up and a premade vs premade tpvp sign up then people will stop to go afk/leave whatever…….on top they need to add a ranking ladder for solo queue.

prozon.3561:

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

A reason why I rarely soloQ. How can a good premade as twg face a soloQ-grp?
Totally broken.

Thats the point, the playerbase is too low for a split que, we all saw it during the paid tournaments were online, huge queing time until game start.

low population? dead game is dead. i think its arenanets fault that the pvp playerbase did go so low…..

shimzor.6057:

So many, unfulfilled promises,
Too small steps, but the road is too long,
PvP died somewhere around november 2012.

Dead game is dead!

True words. -RIP-

I guess instead of crying about solo queue you could find people to play with. Nah why do that, go through that hassle of having to talk to other people on a voip, to difficult.

You miss the point.

Then elaborate.

Its about the game mode that shoud be competitve but its not working as desinged. They wanted to make it newbe friendly so they added a possability to play solo. But its impossible to play it competitive as a solo player. There is a important funcion in PvP that is very poor designed.

While I know there needs to a real solo queue. That makes no sense. This is a team game, 5v5 in fact. If you want to be competitive find a team.

you sir , know nothing. let me ask you something , do you enjoy tpvp with your group when you also have to face random groups and win easy and boring? then you arent a real pvp player who wants competition….

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

so you like to play against random groups in tpvp with your premade group? dont say yes . because then you are not a pvp player. real pvp players want competition…..its no fun to play against random groups when you are playing with a premade group.

arenanet need to make a random vs random tpvp signup and a premade vs premade tpvp signup.

Arenanet Matchmaking System , GZ

i dont understand what is the Problem to make a Random Group vs Random Group Sign Up and a Premade Group vs Premade Group Sign Up for Tpvp?

since Release i miss that , it is absolutly no Fun to play as a Premade Group against Random Group and it is no Fun to play as a Random Group against Premade Group.

i didn’t play for the last 4-5 Months because Spvp and Tpvp are very bad designed/working and boring PvP Content and only came back 1 Week ago to see that nothing have changed and same kitten as always , so i will be gone for another few Months and hope Arenanet will fix this Issues and many other missing PvP Content + i am normally the last Guy who complain about Class Balancing but seriously i tought you Guys from Arenanet know alot about Class Balancing (hi Guild Wars 1) but i am very disappointed.

i started to play Gw2 only for the PvP Part because i saw how great the PvP was in Gw1 but yea i am very disappointed. Shame on your Arenanet. So many old and good PvPers have left the Game already play other Games or suddenly started to play PvE/WwW in Gw2.

Maybe you Guys will realize that and do something about that but i am afraid its too late already.

Away for another few Months , cya

the tpvp needs a matchmaking system aswell but i am afraid that it wont work with this low pvp playerbase this game have at moment. i think the pvp in gw2 will die soon , well lets see if the big pvp update in februar/march will solve some major problems so the people might come back

Chicken and the egg situation right there. Noob teams enter tournaments and can potentially face the best teams farming tickets. After they get smashed, they give up as the learning curve is too steep.

I agree wholeheartedly, the game needs a ranking system, and it needs custom servers as well so teams can practice their tactics in a controlled environment.

If these features aren’t added in the next patch (and instead we get a new map and some balance tweaks) then I don’t think PvP will last. At the moment, people are hanging around waiting for this patch. If it doesn’t deliver, I think many people will walk away.

its very easy to solve this problem , randoms and premades need to be seperated. make a free tpvp random sign up (you can only sign up alone) and a free tpvp premade sign up and the problem is solved , and maybe only allow people with r10 to sign up tpvp but i think that is not nessesary.

but then again the already low pvp playerbase get splittet again so this probably not work.

why do People still running around in Dragon Token Gear after it has been fixed like 1 Week ago? People which have Dragon Token Gear should have been removed.

ye miss them too , at moment there is alot of things luck based in guild wars 2. asura guardian doing knockback with hammer is nearly impossible to the the animation with the tiny hammer. for one exsample. i welcome action bars it will make the game more skilled and less luck based.

The PvP System in the Mists is very bad , if you join Tpvp there with a Premade Group you farm Random Group mostly and if you join alone then you play with a Random Group against a Premade Group. In Spvp there people running around in Group and just farming Points and dont care about to cap/defense the 3 Points to win the Game. This isnt fun , its boring/unbalanced. So i have 5 Suggestions to solve those Problems.

1.) make a 5vs5 Free Tpvp Random vs Random Signup , means you can sign up only alone

2.) the 5vs5 Paid Tpvp is for Premade vs Premade mainly for strong Premade Groups which are interested in the upcoming Arena System

3.) make a 5vs5 Free Tpvp Premade vs Premade Signup , where People can sign up as a Group mainly for People which like to play with Friends/in Groups

4.) only People with Rank 10 should be able to join Tpvp , People with low PvP Experience should first do some Spvp to learn the Class and PvP Basics

5.) the 8vs8 Spvp need to be changed because People running in Group with like 5 Players in a Circle and just farming EXP and dont care about to cap/defense the 3 Points to win the Game , if the Game Modus would be Capture the Flag for exsample and the Winning Team gets more EXP then People actually would play for the Flag to win the Game
