I totally agree that this Anet needs to remove the 25 skill point for structured pvp, i mean we can have all the other skills for free but not this one? Why is that? I honestly cannot comprehend the decision behind this, you do realize that people who ONLY play pvp and have 1 gold on their accaunt and cannot buy them skill right? So why on earth do you force them to play pve if they don’t want, make it costs points for pve but why for pvp when all other skills are for free!
Who actually tossed thoe flames in?
Because if you’ve won those few matches, I see little reason why your team mates would flame you, and opp flames are always amusing to read in such cases anyway.
What she/he said, nobody would flame you if you did good, i don’t flame anyone even tho i am rank 38 unless i personally see them fail horribly in battle, and my flame usually is " please go play more hot join to practice your build".
If Arenanet just sets base MMR much, much lower, this problem would be resolved very quickly. No restrictions to entering tPvP, I feel any restrictions, no matter how small would be a drag.
In high level tournies, or tPvP when EU/NA tournament players have to transfer to the other region to play in a tourney, they have to use a new account. Even though these are largely done in Custom Arenas, wanting to do some practice queues before or after with your friends isn’t uncommon. Don’t crap on these people, competitive play is tough enough not being able to consolidate the regional servers.
Rewards are NOT ruining tPvP. In the short run, an influx of new players can be a drag, if your MMR is equally bad (har har, get good, basically, not meaning to be rude) but more players = the MMR system working better!!!! So in the long run, the new players will be able to take advantage of a better system and get better. And then maybe 1% of those waves of players will become a part of a competitive team .. but I don’t wanna get ahead of myself.
2. I am pretty sure rank 10 in hot joins can be easily achieved with the new system that boosted rank points, so those new players will have no trouble getting there in just a few days.
3. The mmr needs system that pairs people based on their ranks only, in no way a rank 3 should go against a rank 50 and vice versa, i never met anyone who is rank 3 to be better than a rank 30+ player in all my matches played, maybe there is an exception like 1 in 100000 but usually that is not the case, so yeah mmr needs fixing asap and if that is fixed i would want restrictions either, but for the moment i have to ask for them.
There’s a fresh crowd of new sPVP players — this is a very good thing. As they get better at understanding positioning and rotations in tPVP, they will get better. Hotjoin does not train players to tPVP. It never will. It’s a fun mode for trying out new builds or having a quick relaxing game.
In a week, the MMR system will have figured out the MMR of all these new players and matchmaking will improve. The only problem is that new players start with an MMR that’s too high for the average player.
Hey i like the fresh crowd in the mist too, what i don’t like i seeing a person who never played pvp in his life immediately jumping in tourny math, actually i wouldn’t mind that also if the mmr pair the new players vs new players, but since its broken than that is why i suggested that fix, and yes i know hot join is not the same as tourny but you can actually test a lot of stuff there and even there you can play 5v5 match or 4v4 if you don’t like zergs.
I agree, this map should be removed from solo tourny, the map is so bad that even a total m0ron can kill a very skilled player by just knocking them incidentally off the edge, this map should be only in hot join, why is this map in solo competitive play is beyond my understanding.
Well the most effective fix would be that r30 or r40 people be playing with or against at least r20+ people , i honestly don’t know how this match making system can suck this much, even wow on private servers has a better MMR lol.
I honestly cannot see anything bad if a change like that is made, i for once played hot joins at least till rank 12 so i wouldn’t ruined anyone else’s game, but than again that’s just me…
I would really like some response from Anet about this, i think it would greatly benefit the players, less raging about bad match making and players, and you will be forced to accept that the enemy team was better, unlike now where either you play with r1 or some of your team is afk because: “who cares i still get gold” ( was an actual response from a player in my team)
Since now you can even get gold if you loose a tourny match wich i am perfectly fine with it, a lot of newbies or should i say pve players who never even played a pvp match instead of hot join they started playing pvp tourny.(because it rewards more money)
Here is the catch in this, in hot joins it doesn’t really metter if you have 1-2 bad players since the match can be 7vs7 or 8vs8 etc but in tourny is very important since you only got 5 people on your team and you have the ladder. So i suggest a simple fix for this problem and i am pretty sure everyone would be happy, make it so the tourney matches be unavailable unless the account has played a minimum of 30 hot join matches or is at least its rank 10 in pvp, keep in mind i say the account not the character, i think that would make the tourny matches much more enjoyable since you will know people will at least have an idea about tactics and where to go and what to do.
None of this would be necessary if the match making works but since rank 36 can be pared with lvl 1 and lvl 3 a fix like that is a must.
How many post we need to make for Anet remove the skyhammer map from competitive solo games. Who even thought that a map where a player with no skills at all could accidentally push a very skilled player into his death or a map with some many holes in the ground that you can drop to without having stability(some don’t have that much stability or pushbacks as other classes) is a great map for competitive play?
Do you have any clue about how many people leave or just go afk when this map shows?
Well i guess you don’t since it sill here. Leave it in hot join i don’t care but please remove this map from solo tourny, the majority of the players won’t miss i promise you that.
Whats even worse is that some people just reroll into classes with maximum amount of push backs and stability just for this map, so it instead of competitive map where tactics and strategy counts it turns into a fun mode map where who can push people most is what counts the most, maybe the Dev idea was something else for this map but it just doesn’t work for competitive play because like i said, some classes have tons of stability and push backs and some don’t.
