Guild Wars 2

NA theres plenty of outfits in the game that don’t really match with the lore and or characters…. why not have more that people would actually like

Sartharina.3542:

Frostfang.5109:

@ Sartharina – Worse Idea Imo – I for sure would NOT buy that. If I wanna go undressed, I just take of my characters armour.

But then you lose all your stats, can’t dye it, and if you’re a female charr, you have that stupid, ugly chest strap+ropes. And it looks like dirty linen instead of opulent fur.

True, we already have people running around playing pvp without any armor on, give them a bikini/speedo/loin cloth then they can have the no armor look and still have all the stats and protection they need to survive, you’ll be doing everyone a favor

+1 to loin cloth / bikini

I used to love key farming but now that thats gone…..I love dyes, outfits, makeover kits, gem store shopping, and hollidays such as Halloween and Christmas PS. plz bring back the pvp thing on next halloween where you had to hide from ghosts or else they killed you and turned you into 1 as well that was fun. ( SRY that was more than 1 but Owell xD)

Gw2 armor doesn’t look the same as gw1 armor, things look less cartoony and more realistic in gw1 so you’d never get it to look exactly like that even if they did add it.

Doggie.3184:

I want a book that permanently adds 50 new /emotes when you eat it. I love the dance books but I’d rather be enabled to just /dance2 /dance3 and etc.

Sartharina.3542:

I want to be able to dance some more as well!

… and not have my wings disappear when I get my groove on

Just toggle them off and on again.

YEAS totally I agree too, I’ve also requested this, I’d love to have all the gw1 dance moves especially the collectors edition dances they are so epic we need them here.

A lot of people already run around playing (even in pvp) without any armor on, I don’t know if its becuz they like that look or if they want a bigger challenge or maybe a little of both, but I think its time we get some armor that looks like were not wearing any armor maybe bikinis and speedo and loin cloth type things in different designs and styles some rugged and wilderness woman/man type others more bright and flashy and shiny modern day rave type. A lot of people spend a LOT of time and effort in creating their character and making it perfect and just don’t wanna cover up their masterpiece. If these types of outfits get made I guarantee they will get bought many times

Scrapper already got nerfed in last patch you guys must just wanna see it completely dead like when everyone complained about turrets which weren’t that great to begin with, you could kill them pretty easily before but now they die if you just breath on them so nobody ever uses them anymore which is sad, they might as well remove them from the game they are so useless. Stop with all the nerf requests just request other things to get stronger so we can have more than 1 viable build to play on each profession. Thank you.

Even the outfits, the current crank-out-once-per-week cash cow, is very hit or miss on style. Slayer outfit? Tragic. The only reason the Gwen outfit sells is because of the nostalgia brand name; it’s otherwise far too plain and looks shoddy on men.
Sniper Bandit outfit? Typical of lazy anti-Charr design.
Would be nice to have some effort for the two non-human races in the game, to be honest. And while I don’t mind one way or another, some people would like some feminine flair to otherwise androgynous females of those races. Maybe not halter tops and mini skirts, but design that shows consideration to ‘softer’ silhouettes.

And possibly show off those awesome furry legs on Charr. But when they do go with dimorphic charr outfits, we end up with an atrocity like the Ancestral outfit, where the male’s:
*fits the body nicely
*Has all details properly scaled to the charr model
*Accommodates the tail
*Comes with a tail decoration that spans the whole length!

And the female armor:
*Has a boob window to nothing
*Hideously oversized dragon around the neck
*Makes no effort to accommodate the tail.
*Leaves said tail bare while clipping through the stupid trenchcoat

At least they got the Wedding dress right.

I do like the Royal Guard outfit on Charr – it accommodates the tail, and its helm even makes room for the charr’s ears and horns! (Something the Tier 1 Cultural armor doesn’t even get right)

… I think they can solve all the problems by adding a furry loincloth to the game (Bikini for sylvari, human, and norn females), and slap Lord Faren’s name on it. So we can be Tarzan of Maguuma.

I think you are seeing my vision of what I need to wear . I need THIS ASAP.

Donari.5237:

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Faren’s loincloth as an outfit.

I like this plan, but suggest that maybe it shouldn’t cost as many gems as outfits usually do as it doesn’t seem it would require terribly much effort to create. The model’s in game already and is just a flap of cloth (there will need to be a female version with chest coverage for humans, norns, and sylvari …. oh I know! Make it worth more gems by giving it cultural differences for each!).

Yes I would want the male version for my female charr. She’s got fur, modesty isn’t a thing when it comes to her flat muscular chest.

UMMM if male gets to be topless I think my female should get to be topless too give us both that version!

Thiefz.3695:

Second week in a row on Projectile hate. I honestly like projectile defense due to the amount of projectiles I have to deal with. At a very high level, if the goal of PvP is to hold the point and you can attack someone from range without any counterplay, then there needs to be a way to force someone to have to fight on point. Projectile hate is the goal to ensure that you are forcing ranged attacks onto the point. Sniping in GW2 takes coordination and skill but it can be a very high pay off.

If we remove projectile defense, there is no ranged counterplay except for teleports.

SO right. I can’t stand when some one stands way out of my reach and shoots me to death with no way to defend myself or reach them to kill them. Like I said people are always gonna complain about something if it counters there build, that doesn’t mean it needs to be removed, soooooo many cool builds have already been nerfed to death to the point where there’s only like 3 or 4 professions people play and like 1 build for each of them which is ridiculous and boring.

Gardavil.1762:

I only use one or two of the male faces as most are either too old looking or scared up or too effeminate.

To me the females aren’t much better… to me over half of the female faces look way too young, almost child like, and I would be hesitant to ever make a female character with one of those faces out of fear of being labelled a pedophile or worse.

IMO Anet would do well to add some more mid 20ish to mid 30ish appearance character faces to the character creator.

This is my perspective on it, point of view and all.

Dude that’s a crappy thing to say…I’m a full grown adult woman and my face looks way younger than my human woman characters faces on this game -_- And if some one calls you that horrible name report them cuz thats not right and you could sue some one for calling you crap like that.

Personally I love flashy & revealing armor and so do most people in the game, but there’s so many different types of armor and outfits to chose from I really don’t get why some one would complain about such things. I’d love to have a bikini made of twinkling bright stars and huge fluffy fiber optic star boots and go around singing shining bright like a diamond…..

roamzero.9486:

Projectile hate in this game is pretty ridiculous. And it’s odd because so many ranged attacks in the game aren’t projectile at all, such as beam attacks, ground target aoes, necro scepter, mesmer shatters, utilities etc, so its not like projectile hate is pushing melee to the front. And projectiles don’t seem to be any stronger than non-projectile oriented ranged options, so I really don’t understand it.

The reason people complain is they get countered by something depending on what profession or build they are playing and instead of changing their build/profession/play style they’d rather complain about it and get everything in the game nerfed except for what they play. And apparently their complaints get listened to and everything else gets nerfed and everyone who enjoyed whatever they were playing now have to change and play some other profession or build they don’t wanna play cuz their previous one is no longer viable. Which makes no sense but that’s the way it is……

I have the opposite opinion….they already nerfed the heck outa people’s sustain. I hate matches where my entire team goes in and dies in 2 seconds, rez and repeat until match ends. I think we need more sustain/healing/blocks/protection.

Am I the only 1 who likes the graphics in gw1, they look more realistic to me than gw2, gw2 looks more cartoony to me and all the weapons and armor in gw2 that was supposed to be a replicate of the ones in gw1 just don’t look as nice as it did in gw, looks way less realistic to me. And also I think they should just hire a whole new team of developers and make updates and maybe a expansion for the original gw to bring people back to it, and give extra rewards for doing pvp to get Ab and JQ and everything populated again for those of us who prefer gw1 over gw2. That way they can have both games and make everyone happy and have a bunch of games that a lot of people like. (You could also add a gem store to gw1 that would be sweet) On another note..I would really enjoy sailing, ocean battles and fishing, but interesting fishing made into a mini game type of thing that takes effort to actually catch them(maybe a pirate theme) in some sort of game if that was at all possible for them to do……

I don’t know why people complain about surviveability, they already listened to all the complaints before and nerfed everything that was able to survive for any amount of time and buffed necro which was already over powered to begin with. If you wanna solo kill something that seems slightly hard to kill just play a necro that should get it done.

Ruru.1302:

Ellie.5913:

Ele’s are pretty squishy imo especially after all the nerfs they did. Trust me if your whole team hits an ele all at the same time it will die.

That’s not the point. You should never be hitting for 17 damage on an eviscerate.

I don’t know.. But I will never cry about damage reduction since my favorite things to play in gw1 was an all heal/protection monk or all damage reduction skills paragon. And there is NOTHING in this game that does that kinda damage reduction/healing.

Ele’s are pretty squishy imo especially after all the nerfs they did. Trust me if your whole team hits an ele all at the same time it will die. They are pretty vulnerable to conditions so maybe try a condition build with some stun daze knock back etc.

I dont know what else I can say, I have enjoyed this season, I feel like I could probably still push my way up a bit through Diamond, I doubt I can make it to Legendary but getting more experience from playing games against others who are at a higher level than me is only ever going to make me a better player.

I dont know you and cannot tell anything about your personal experience, preference, etc. Important is probably that you stressed that you learnt something. If this is the goal, then most of us succeeded. I wrote the post not for you personally (although I refer to you). I wrote the post for all those who are happy because they are winning all the time although their wins are blow-outs. You may have been lucky. You may have liked the season. It is all your personal life. I will not interfere.

My experiences are different. If I just take the last 10 matches, in 5 of them the losing team had less than 300 points, in 2 less than 200. If I think back to the beginning of the season, there we had one match 500-0. Take the extreme case (500-0). Would you like to play on any of the two sides?

Yea that’s not a competition when your team dies so quickly that the other team goes and camps at your base and slaughters them every time they try to leave….that’s like the super funnyest and most pathetic thing to watch or partake in. And people complain about others going afk…. really can you blame them. I say give me a fair match or no match at all. (This season after a couple of really hysterical and frustrating days I chose no match at all since I realized something changed so dramatically between this season and previous ones that made every match have a predetermined outcome and no matter what you did there was no changing that outcome. If that’s the way its going to be just declare the wining team the winner and the losing team the loser and don’t make anyone waste their time on such ridiculousness.)

He lied, some one linked a comment he left 8 months ago and pretty sure hes been playing a lot longer also probably has a premade team and multiple accounts leaving troll comments on here with different names about mmr hell not existing and how everyone just needs to git gud git better and l2p >.<

From what I read from Evan Lesh’s post everything’s working as intended so I really don’t think anything’s gonna change at least not for the better every change I’ve seen since release just makes things worse and worse and worse ( except for the wardrobe and dye change that was good).

Yea there’s not much to do if you don’t have a group of people to do things with which I’m pretty sure most don’t. Thats why gw 1 was so good(well one of the many reasons) most things didn’t require a premade team and the things that did ; like alliance battles you could usually find a team that didn’t care who they took with them cuz they just wanted to play..Too bad that place is a ghost town these days , was fun times.
You could try pvp I highly don’t recommend ranked though it will have you ripping your hair out, try unranked it can be a little bit fun sometimes if your’e super bored.

That’s why all the newcomers to pvp are not gonna stick around, once this league thing ends pvp will probably be more dead than it ever was before because it ran off a lot of the veterans and its not fun for new people either they just want the rewards once that’s over I really don’t see them sticking around since it isn’t that fun for most people these days with the way things are.

I’m the guy you don’t want in ranked pvp… and I’m playing in ranked pvp. I’m not competitive. I’m erratic in my performance. Sometimes I do everything right and am a statistically significant factor in the success of my solo queue team. Sometimes I make the mistake that costs my team the match (I would argue that many of us do; such is human).

I play leagues to have fun, because there’s no point in competition if you don’t care about the outcome. The grind comes from repeating an activity on auto pilot. PVP leagues cannot be efficiently played in auto pilot. You have to win THIS match. You hate it if you lose THIS chance to advance division. That’s where the fun is. The other team may be the greatest ever, but i have to beat them nonetheless, or i lose my precious PIPs. There’s a real challenge. There’s real competition. There’s of course frustration and salt if all goes wrong.

Exactly. My point was more about me coming into leagues with a very casual mindset and thus being a little more casual in my gameplay. It’s one thing for top players to make mistakes, but it’s another for someone like me to come in all “easy come, easy go” when my teammates are there to win. I let myself get dragged into leagues because it was new and shiny, but it’s probably not the place for me to be, which is okay, but in the future I should really respect competitive players’ territory. Monster of a run-on there, but you get my point.

Dude you payed for this game just the same as those who think they’re elite and better than everyone else (even though most are delusional about that and get carried by a premade team or get put with all the best teams cuz of high mmr which you get from pure luck nothing else) You belong in ranked if that’s where you wanna be its matchmakings fault its not fair. If you’re new to pvp you should get put against teams that also are new to it but you’re not and you probably have to face a lot of premades which are a lot more organized than solo player teams so yea not your fault its like that its matchamakings fault but if you like ranked keep playing ranked you deserve to as much as anyone else does.

I love it how all the trolls come out just to say git gud git better l2p even though half of us have been playing ranked just as long as they have or even longer and had a really high win rate before, so funny. Plz stop feeding the trolls. Everyone knows it’s a team game if your team consists of mostly new players just now learning how to play pvp you can be the best player in the game and lose if the other team consists of all people who have been playing as long as you have and are as experienced as you, even a child would know this. ( And lets not forget about premade vs solo players that never has been and never will be a fair match unless the premade is new to pvp and just learning which some are but most aren’t)

After the hundreds of threads and thousands of responses on this topic do you really need to ask? At this point everyone just sounds like a broken record.

The fact he lied about everything should be enough to know its a troll thread

Dyze.1580:

I shouldn’t be playing in ranked either, but what choice do we have?

I started playing in unranked, it was fun at first, but very quickly it turned into farm mode. losing blowout after blowout. Getting pushed back to spawn and ganked as we exit. Tardmates that doesn’t listen, charges solo into 3+ enemies, no rotating etc.
My team would very seldom get over 100 pts.
The only times I won, was when I had the off chance of getting on the winning kitten team.

So.. I was forced into ranked simply to get a closer to leveled playing field.
Sadly, that doesn’t exist in this current game because of the imbalanced core vs p2w.
But at least ranked is closer to balance than unranked.
With unranked I know i’m going to get farmed, with ranked I at least know there’s a slight chance at victory. Even if it’s quite minimal.

I wouldn’t say the rewards of ranked is the only shiny thing for people to go there.
As a solo queuer, the slightly more balanced teams is the only incentive I have in PvP and ranked is at least a bit closer.

I find the opposite true for me, I can win in unranked because its a noob team vs a noob team usually so I can carry most of the time when that’s the case. In ranked though its always noob team vs non noob team and I get put on the noob team since I have low mmr now so I can never win in ranked anymore at least not during this season so I stopped trying. But unranked is pretty easy to win in since both teams have noobs as long as you don’t run into a premade on the opposite team that half way knows what they’re doing.

@ Zynt You are 100% right. And your friends sound hilarious XD " I don’t wanna play pvp cuz I don’t wanna get beat! " Lolz. And I definitely do not wanna play a WoW type game at all * shudders in revulsion*

YAre you unable to invent something new yourself?

?i see this completely different. They want to invent the wheel over and over again.
tere are brilliant inventions in gw1 and we barely see any of them. GW2 just lacks on quality of life features even compared to the base game.
there is no shame on inplementing a cool feature that you discover in another game.
for example. take Diablo’s inventory system. 2h for weapons, armor, helm, boots, etc.. applyed by drag and drop/doubleclick … all the rpg games stole this kind of system.

Totally agree. The whole reason why gw1 was always my favorite game was because it was very different and unique from others and just fun and interesting with lots of different things to do all of which were entertaining. If I wanted to play a game like all the other games id just go play those. Also most of the things in gw1 you can do alone which is something very good for me since I always play alone. The way gw2 was in the beginning was a million times better than it is now but it never compared to gw1 in the fun factor. I laughed so hard when I first started playing this game and saw how few skills there were to chose from compared to gw1, I was like woaah equip a weapon and bam theres your build what did they do make this game for children who can’t make a build xD

My asura warrior/berserker saying I’ll destroy you all! When everyone knows a warrior couldn’t hurt a fly

GW 1 was and is amazing, if it was still supported and updated/ new content added and brought players back to it I’d be very happy to only play that. Group incentives only benefit those very few people who have groups the rest are expendable, that’s why I enjoyed jade quarry so much, just show up hit enter battle and wait for it to start no team forming stress. Alliance battles was also VERRY fun when there was a lot of people there and they just wanted to play and not be too picky about who they let in their team. They never allowed premade teams vs non premade teams though because they knew how unfair that would be to the solo players and you could actually report some one for match manipulation if they tried to sync with a group of friends in an area that was meant for random vs random teams.

style.6173:

The problem is this:
1. For a long time, there was nothing else to do in the game, so people went to PvP.
2. SAB was launched and so it gave a lot of people something else to do.
3. Even those who like PvP are sick of a poor balance team
4. Most people are sick of excuses from the matchmaking person.

I’m sick of the matchmaking person saying its perfect everything’s working as it should..If you used to win a lot and have fun games but all of a sudden you get put with full team of new players and against full teams of not new players and premades and lose every match thats great continue playing so we have farming material for the few that matter more than you!

Coelho Nat.4697:

I also would like to have solo queue back, but forget it. Anet won´t do this. It is because the number of players in pvp is so small that they can´t do this or the team queue will take forever. Everyday less players join arenas and this season are making things even worse.

It only took forever for those who were premades because there wasn’t a lot of those but there was tons of solo players especially back then when things were more fair so us solo players usually got in instantly AND got a fair match against other solo players. This whole merging them together thing only benefits team players ,not only do they get in much quicker now but also get easier matches whenever they face a team of solo players. And most solo players (unless they are lucky enough to have high mmr in this broken system and therefore get put with the better teams) just have to suffer or give up whichever you prefer.

“Player input” is what got us expansions, which is why we no longer have lots of monthly free content.

Ever hear the expression “don’t buy the cow if you can get the milk for free”? We were getting the milk for free and many of our fellow players complained long and hard about how they would rather pay for it because that somehow makes it better. Now we get less milk AND have to pay for it.

Player input is the last thing we need more of…

People were tired of tiny bites of content that was, at best, mediocre, and wanted a massive chunk of real content. Something on the scope and scale of Factions or Nightfall (not technically expansions, but functionally they were for most people), with all the trimmings. Don’t blame the players for Anet being unwilling or unable to provide that.

Pretty much. ’Tis why I no longer play and havent for ~1-2 years now. When HoT was announced, I got curious. But I knew better than to give ANet more of my money. And it would seem that I was right in holding off.

-Legendary development stopped…
-Dungeons are still untouched
-Guild missions are a joke.
-The Living World is not so living and doesn’t react to your choices
-Multiple small bits of content that I missed via LS are still not available for me to play(because I didnt log in during the weeks these were running? How awesome…)…Great so pretty much there are large swaths of content I’ll never see.

• Dungeons were declared dead years ago in terms of development so why are you surprised they are untouched.
• What did you think guild mission were going to be?
  *The Living World was initially living because you had to be present to experience the changes. A destroyed Kessex Hills and destroyed and rebuilt Lion’s Arch were the results. There is also the area in DR that was rebuilt and now houses events.

I’m sorry, if you haven’t played in 1 or 2 years then why visit the forums?

Forums is a place to go to read about things…It doesn’t mean you have to play the thing you are reading about I mean when I still played the game a lot I never read forums I only started reading them after I stopped playing a lot cuz I had more free time on my hands.

Personally I want a amazon warrior outfit a super sexy one with lots of animal fur and antler headpiece and maybe some weapons made of animal bones and fur to match. And add another dance book that lets you have all the dances from the original guild wars especially the dervish and paragon dances the collectors edition dances to those 2 would be amazing. Also maybe gem store body tattoos and jewelry that you can actually see on the character. OH we definitely need a headpiece made of flowers too.

I totally agree with you on that 1. There was a time when I actually enjoyed this game and had lots of fun things to do but apparently too many people were complaining about things and EVERYTHING got changed in a way that made it no longer fun and some things even got completely removed. Now I pretty much have nothing left to do but the dailys which aren’t really fun but I feel like I must do them.

once a year is perfect, if AB was available all the time it would be dead after a few months. Imagine if xmas was every day :P

Personally I would LOVE if it was Christmas or Halloween every day since those festivals are really fun and I really can’t stand to step foot in pve land since they got rid of key-farming which was the only pve thing I enjoyed doing. I mean I dabbled in HoT area and simply hated it so yea festivals every day would be nice it would give me something to do.

This is very simple, its not a reward track. It’s a rank system, and technically works. Sapphire/Ruby should have your most average players with a close-to 50% win rate in that division, making it hard to work out of, but not fall too far back, too.
.

Up to ruby it is actually essentially a reward track.

Yes, I realize early parts are like a reward track. I think that is their attempt to make it “somewhat” fun for everyone. But that doesn’t mean everyone “deserves” to have Legendary. I feel the way it is set up is actually very generous… It’s still prestigious to get to Legendary, but most people can at least make it to ruby if they put in the time and effort, so they can at least wrack up some of the smaller rewards. That’s perfect if you ask me. The problem with Leagues right now is entirely entitlement, unfortunately, the game has pushed that entitlement because “it’s a casual game” and “everyone can be a hero”. They finally added ONE thing that pvpers can use for a little ounce of prestige and PVErs and entitled solo-quing casuals feel they MUST be able to reach legendary or it shouldn’t exist at all… I hate to come off as harsh, but why?

The only valid excuse/complaint I see currently is that the PVE legendary back piece isn’t in the game yet. And I agree, that’s annoying, but beyond that, it’s ONE prestigious thing in the game… Just let it be…

I play pvp not for the backpiece – couldn’t care less about it. This response doesn’t sound harsh, it sounds pompous.

To be at legendary in seas 2 is not something u should feel particularly proud over and be so snobby or elitist over. This is the one season in rpvp when ur win actually seems like it doesn’t mean much – u rode the win train to glory – bfd. How much was due to your actual skill and how much was due to coding – pitting you with winning players against losing players – seems like a glorified fun fest for you and misery for those caught in the losing train.

For you to really feel elitist and proud, and for someone like me to actually admire you, I would suggest this gameplay – 100% solo que, totally random match-ups on both teams. No ability to ts or coordinate or reroll or mod/manipulate. Individual wins/pips are then matched up and the people rise to the top – is it a grind? Perhaps But it is then much more indicative of your personal skill and if ur in the No.1 team then, composed of only players who are also at same win/pip total, then I will admire you then and you can feel free to lord it over everyone.

Until then, I would suggest several things:

This system now promotes team IWAY type of play and everyone saw what happened in gw1 HOH after iway became the only way to play – it was the highway for everyone else and it was a ghost town long before the game died;

Modesty and humbleness would serve you well, as you just sound like an elitist who doesn’t really deserve it and you prolly got there by gimmicks, or riding coding designed win streaks so w/e;

Deliberately tank your win/loss mmr rating – get it really low on purpose – then carve your way back up to legendary – stream it and prove it – you claim you’re where you are from skill alone, so do it – prove it. If you’re as good as you say you should easily be able to sail thru to legend or certainly diamond before seas 2 ends, even if you start today, just be sure your win loss is about 46% or lower when in amber. Once you do this, and prove it (stream it), then you will have my respect. However, I would genuinely like to hear what your experience is like in doing this – was it fun? was it demoralizing? did you get better? was it frustrating? did you feel like your personal skill served you or helped clueless teammates? did you like playing pro level better? did you like playing like a pro with noobs who said you don’t know how to play (cus they will). Just curious.

Otherwise, maybe you should think about shutting up, cuz u know not what you’re talking about – ur only spouting off from the preferred coding win train and it doesn’t sit very well with many of us who got fed into the machine for reasons having nothing to do with our personal skill levels.

Its funny that you think its prestigious to be at the top with your backpiece right now. I don’t covet it, and I’m not sour grapes. Gratz to you that you got it and that you feel the way you do about it – that is sincere. However, my gaming experience in pvp has been ruined. So I hope it was worth it to you. And I’m truly wondering why, of all things, you should feel prestige about it – I don’t think anyone at the top, given the current coding and winning begets winning and losing begets losing designed system, should feel particularly proud of their winnings. If it were me, I would be kinda ashamed (imo) cuz I would know that my quick wins doomed some players to a hell that they may never be able to carve out of ever (especially if anet doesn’t reset mmr or redesign the system) – and believe me, that hell is not fun. Not fun. Do you hear me? Is it getting thru? Its not fun – and this is supposed to be a fun game for everyone . Fun = you know, a game. Fun. This is not fun! But how nice for you! Surely there must be a better way for you to prove ur mettle as the fantastic player I’m sure you are, and for me to still have fun doing something I used to love in a game I used to love.

I couldn’t have explained it better!

This is NOT fun anymore, very frustrating and I would agree on not being able to form teams. Let legendaries reach their ranks alone, it would be fun to see.

As far as matching is concerned, I am almost always placed with people that are learning and the outcome is obvious.

I have less than 24% win rates which makes me hate this game profoundly.

I don’t know if everyone realizes it yet but if you are a solo player your only purpose in pvp these days is to keep a steady supply of people for premades to farm so they get quick queue times and have fun farming noobs and the few unfortunates who get thrown in with the team of noobs. And the creators know this they made it that way on purpose , so either enjoy getting farmed or just quit like I have.

blah blah blah i tanked my mmr last season because i wanted win streaks blah blah blah

hahaha i actually love that anet has this matchmaking now. Its pretty funny for anyone that didnt try to cheat the system and tank mmr.

This system doesn’t hurt those who cheated by tanking mmr, they all have extremely organized premade teams so they got their mmr back to high as possible very quickly by farming solo players all day. This system was made to punish solo players for being solo players the rest got a free ride to the top and lots of laughs along the way considering most matches are a slaughter, not even close to a competition.

Anet don’t care about Solo players even though they are the majority of the people playing, they already said its working as intended so everyone might as well stop begging them to make the game fair or fun again it’s obviously not gonna happen. The only thing left to do is just quit.

I think solo pvp is allready dead. I used to play it non stop for like 3 years and ive quit because its become a joke. WvW is getting reverted back to the way it was why can’t pvp as in solo players vs solo players and team players vs team players. Can’t be that hard that’s the way it was before and it was a lot more fun in those days, now when you enter a game as a solo player team and see that the other team is premade most people give up before it starts because they’ve been playing long enough to know its gonna be a slaughter fest

1 question 2 suggestions from me..

Q) Why you hate solo players so much?

S1) Remove %50 win rate rule
S2) Split team and solo que. Every team has a chance to go solo..

That’s a good question. Premades vs solo players wasn’t allowed in the original guild wars which was a way much more fun game where everything just made more sense. Something smells really fishy about the pvp in this game everyone knows premade vs non premade premade wins about 99% of the time its not even a battle it’s a slaughter most of the time and that’s why people go afk its just not worth it if you’re being farmed.

@ TheAngryDuckling I dissagree. Most people SoloQueue alone and never use TS. I’ve never used TS and never will. As for flameing well there usually is and off button to things if its getting used for bad rather than good. I think its time Anet catered to the majority aka the solo players for a change so they can enjoy pvp too instead of getting farmed by organized premades non stop untill they just quit the game because its not fun losing every single match simply because you are not a premade

Yea I’d much rather wait longer times and get a fair match than get in instantly while being put on a full team of all new players and against a full team of all not so new players and losing every match. That’s why I’m not playing this season.

Yea believe it or not most of us don’t use teamspeak or any other type of voice chat things so this would come in handy for those who want to get organized the rest can just turn it off

Voice chat would be cool but I don’t think most people on a PUG team would even use it..I don’t even think most people on a PUG team are even awake and looking at their screen. But yea it should be there for people who would actually use it

Well 90% of premades are way more organized than non premades so those 2 should never be put together in a match it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know whos gonna lose most of the time. And they can’t say its not possible cause that’s how it was in the begining solo vs solo, team vs team , and it was much fairer and more fun matches

Very simple solution… separate organized premade teams from solo players ( not only would it be more fair but premade teams would actually have a challenge rather than a slaughter fest) and take mmr out of the equation since it means nothing except you got lucky with match making aka got put on a team with 4 necros etc
