Guild Wars 2

going far is not a bad idea, specially if they know what they are doing. mesmer and scrapper are very good at going far, because of being great at 1v1 or even 2v1, a mesmer can drop portal having someone sit and wait at far till portal is gone. same with scrapper, has very high sustain that it can tank and delay 2 players at a given time. that being said if someone go far and fight someone there. that would be 4v4 at mid. unless u guys sucks so bad u all wipe before the home guy has a chance to run to mid.

they at diamond now, u will see MMR suck at diamond thread soon lol

hmmm. during launch of GW2 when there is no metabattle. when people still have no clue what is more OP.
- back when power mesmer doesnt really shatter their clones.
- when elementalist can use other utility skills while mistform.
- when hambow (before u can move while using hammer skills) warrior was using physical utility and mostly just a bunch of CC. when warrior just bull rush and 100b u to death lol
- warrior before shoutbow was famous (cleric, settler), people often message me asking what build i use ( metabattle just starting to be a thing ) i remember the like of toker and some ESL players back then saying i use crappy fear build LOL then they buff celestial amulet and every ESL team has shoutbow war.
- back when the fastest way to farm glory/rank points is to play hotjoin.
- the 10v10 at capricorn map where i just mindless tag everyone with plague necro and end up with 450 points per game.
- ahhh the nostalgia. ( now pvp forums is just pure QQ )

people need to upload losing matches not winning.

Why does it have to be a losing video to comment on an individuals play? Makes no sense.

hard to comment what OP did wrong when the whole game, they are winning. all u can say is maybe u can do this or do that. when enemy is destroying u, u can see all ur fault and team fault is why is that happening.

Invictus.8751:

In 1 day new account ambar to diamond soloq, here are the photos

ah, while everyone post d/d ele, bunker guard, MM necro. u posted a condi double moa mesmer, one of the most OP meta today. u just proven others how broken mesmer atm. kudos to you for playing OP build against lower division. i mean the handicap u gave them right?

people need to upload losing matches not winning.

MM necro ( alt accnt, no hot )

i don’t rem. exactly how many wins since i did not count it.

45 wins maybe. tier 5 ruby 1 pip in.

4 loses. 1 in emerald, 1 sapphire, 2 ruby.

sorry but i like to soloQ, without it spvp will die

OP sorry u have to experience that. just report. block and move on. i watch your video earlier. although its a winning video. i see in your video the u prefer roaming all 3 points but you dont have a portal as skill to get back to those points u just cap, the enemy team basicly just recap it with no contest. i also notice ur a “clicker” which i understand, u only click the skills that is hard to reach. mainly skill 7-0 and f1-f5. i suggest u buy a mmo mouse, g600, or razer naga. also corsair has a new one. it will help u with ur reaction time. i really dont think anyone should reach ruby – legendary without having any keybinds. besides that i think u did ok. something to be expected with saphire players. get mmo mouse!

they will announce new expansion.

didnt we have a lot of this thread like the first week of season 2? you would think everyone would make it to legendary by this time.

post a video of you’re losing game. we will critic u. doesnt matter if duo/ 5 man….or solo

u have to make 2 separate thread about this? honestly ur already in t7, few more games ur at legendary and will play the same as those other players.

here’s the thing none of those players who said they in a MMR HELL, posted any of their losing game video. so everytime some says mmrhell and they have crappy teamates that why they are losing. take it with a grain of salt.

my only reason is to play with my brother, and friends at lower division. playing with them in my main account will only have them fighting opponent way beyond their skill level. but i know some players playing it out of ego, to prove something, or to troll others.

ok OP, pm me ingame if ur N/A and i have an alt account in ruby, and with couple of my friends i will carry u out from whatever tier or division ur stuck.

holy hell are u playing gw2 in 8bit?

troll post move on everyone :S

Feralnex.4072:

I’m really disappointed with this season and the worst thing about it is that we have to pay for Anet mistakes. Plz don’t tell me that you’re fine with this season, that you got into legendary division because You wasn’t in MMRHELL. If You don’t believe me just go to different account and lose 5-10 matches at the beggining in ruby div and than try to get into diamond div, You’ll get what I’m talking about. I’m in diamond for 10 days and still no progress. As far as i could get was tier 2, then i lost it all, never had winstreak since i got into diamond and my winrate is 2 wins in 10 matches. Thanks Anet for destroying game, i hope you’re proud that You’re lying us since the beggining (I’m not talking now about PvP only). It made me hate this game. Time to find something better.

do i believe in MMR hell? yes. after a week from the start of season 2 i was already diamond T7 and for 4 days i stayed there with w/l/w/l/w/l/l/l/w but i did go out. so no point blaming anet because, other can get out of it im sure u can too.

they are not trolling, i think they just want to play but the Q times in legendary is very long given that most players like me stop playing once we hit legendary.

trapper runes sucks ball for DH, can u tell us in what division u see DH with trapper runes OP?

if u dont finish the AP before season 2 is over, you wont get it anymore.

lose a close game. match making fail LOL

NACotser.4125:

Ashamed to post this but also don’t really care,
A good portion of my games involves someone sending “team can’t rotate” or “l2rotate” or “nice rotating” without ever really specifying what it means.
As far as I understand it means kinda, moving around points to avoid groups of players, but I never really know where/when to rotate? So some clarity would be welcome

basically knowing where u should be or you’re team should be at the map in a given time. this require knowing your opponent position, team position and predicting enemy movement as well as team. example. spawning enemy or team mate. if enemy team is in your home point what would u think u should do? your team should always be looking for weak and undefended point in the map. moving away from fights that is hard to win. knowing when to engage or disengage. when to decap or full cap. etc.

Ithilwen.1529:

The claim has been made that the season would even out and games would become better as “good” players move up. That theory has failed as has this season’s matchmaking. I can’t wait to see anet remove the division locks. Watch the qq as players fall in the course of a weekend from Diamond to Amber.

This system isn’t working anet, admit it and move on please, for the sake of the game.

Here’s my recent game history. Those are losses by an average of roughly 214 points. with a maximum margin of 481 points and a minimum of 76.

These matches are not “fun” or “competitive.” They don’t make me admire Diamond or Legendary players. Quite the contrary, it makes me despise them. I don’t think this is the sort of “prestige” anet hoped to generate.

removing division lock wont solve anything, it will only result in more issues. ( drastic Q times/ less players ) also as a player i never experience losing enough pips to warrant going down in division. meaning i never had 0 pips and lose. also you shouldnt hate on the diamond or legendary players, like you they’re also just playing the game. if u think ruby is bad right now, diamond is the same. so dont rejoice if u got out of ruby.

Drew The Brave.6403:

Made it to legendary playing only warrior this whole season!

okay okay about 15 pips were with a dh, but I played warrior for literally every other pip. Solo que’d in diamond, no team carried me.

but tell me again how warrior is trash and cant be played in pvp….

:D

so i soloQ amber to legendary… ok, i 5 man premade 15 games. so does it still count as a soloQ to legendary? logic of OP.

Raawk.7584:

If you were to implement such a system, you would also have to implement a system where your rank starts to degenerate after a period of inactivity.

thats how leaderboard used to work. people dont like it because they want ladder/division system. not that we do. they calling for leaderboard style again?

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

If they were to do armor (say an armor that matched the back piece maybe?) that would be nifty. (And I do think pvp having a uniquely skinned legendary set is a good idea)

Unfortunately they’d either need to stretch out the time it takes to achieve (2 pieces this year, 2 pieces next, or some such) or they’d need to make the requirements more stringent. Given some of the requirements for the back piece…. I could see a lot of people up in arms either route they went.

in pve legendary armor will be created as a whole set not piece by piece. meaning if they do that in pvp it will be the same.

correct me if im wrong, if someone reach legendary. and dont wanna drop back down to diamond he can just stop playing. shrinking the player base even more and longer Q times. same can be apply to other division. once 1 person reach desire division, maybe having enough ticket for the legendary wing. will also stop playing. im sure there is a better way of addressing bad players climbing through divisions.

Elia.7193:

I am not a pro but I am descent player, rank 80, 1k+ ranked games. I find this season very disappointing. I was stuck at last tier on emerald for two days due to win/loss/loss/win etc . Now I am stuck in sapphire for the same reason. The most of matches this season are way too imbalanced. Either win either lose will be 100+ points difference and in some cases 300 + . When the majority of games is like this there is something wrong with the matchmaking. We can not be great one game, terrible the next, great the next etc
Also this season more than any other the teammates are like they never played pvp before. Countless times people fighting off point when enemy has them all, zerging svanir because they find it way more important than capping, avoiding to go on point because *necro on point uses traps * (yes I saw this in sapphire and they were in disbelief when informed that necro doesn’t use traps), rushing alone in middle of 3-4 enemies (sorry you aren’t superman don’t do this) etc etc . In previous seasons still had teams like this but this season at least for me is most of the time.
Another issue is profession stacking. I know about queue times but have to deal with 3-4 necs or 3-4 trap spammers and same time have 2-3 thiefs in your team isn’t exactly balanced. In one occasion the opponent DH actually apologized ( bless ) for the op I can play while afk build. Before you comment that traps can be dodged just think that I can only dodge so many times while have to avoid double trapping and necs and same time trying to res the teammates that rushing into traps and getting downed
You making pvp very disappointing for solo players. It should be simple enough after 2 days to get some win streak enough to get a tier but is just not happening. I don’t want to resort to play a profession /build I don’t like just because is op and can give you pips. This is not skill, and is not fun

sorry to hear ur having worst time playing pvp. although i disagree with u. season 2 is by far easier for soloQ, my experience anyway. but u shouldnt give up. if getting good and getting that legendary wing is ur goal. then dont worry, no matter what ur division this season. there will be 2 more season this year. also after 2 season is over the legendary is still available but higher ticket price. u just wont get it as fast as others do.

Celeras.4980:

Fivedawgs.4267:

I can’t belive the guy above me just called DH the 8th worst class; just to show you how ignorant some of the so called good players are.

Easily. And it’s not even close.

Revenant, Scrapper, Chrono, Tempest, Reaper, Druid, DD, DH, Warrior. The bottom two are not arguable. Any of the others you could make a case for slight variations.

Being unable to recognize these kinds of things show why you belong at the bottom.

Revenant, Chrono, reaper, tempest, scrapper, Druid, DH, DD, Warrior my version. at legendary even some cases diamond. thief gets check and unable to decap rendering him useless. but celeras is right DH is right there bottom 3. i main ele, and the top 3 is only 1 who has a chance of killing me during 1v1.

devs talk about this, they want pvp players to be able to obtain, what other game modes offer(dont really agree with this). thats why with luck u can get full ascended gear just doing pvp. u can also save enough gold, for mats to craft legendary. when they introduce legendary backpiece. both pve ( not even complete ) and pvp have them. theres even rumor of another legendary backpiece exclusive for playing WvW. now when the pve legendary armor comes out, devs will have to let pvper and wvw players have access or a way to getting there legendary armor.

all 5 players went mid, at the start of the match. i was so shock i didnt move while i was at mid. we lost by 60 points at the end of the match.

all your points, assumes your team member is better than its opponent. also all your points are circumstantial. you cannot predict outcome of mid fight. even against team with more sustain builds. how many times did i look at my team comp and said oh kitten im screwed, only to be proven wrong. player experience dictates the outcome. experience teaches them when not to engage or rotate. able to adjust to the given moment and better decision making.

also deroir makes lore video but he also theorize at the same time, so he doesnt really just straight up tell u lore base on what is just explain ingame or by devs.

WP lore video or even lore discussion always happen after someone already posted something about it here. i dont think he does hes own research. dont get me wrong i like hes gw1 lore video, because as someone who plays gw1, i also i remember those.

post it in reddit. anet devs seems to respond there more.

u have long Q because you rush to legendary, thats why u dont have a lot of players in your division. also being in legendary gives no incentive to continue playing. thats why other legendary, like me went back and play other game modes. and u can see some doing the same. i wanted to do my daily in ranked, but waiting 6mins my average Q time for a daily is a waste of time so i just hop into any daily server.

bunker ele has 13k hp and kitten DS. ur telling me u cant kill that? with the removal of celestial amulet, they also wont be able to kill anyone alone.

Galandil.9641:

Fun fact about the carrying argument.

Today I was in a match, that we lost really badly. 548-16. That was how badly.

The fun part is that we had, apparently, a pro player, who repeatedly called us “nonames”, “scrubs”, etc., you get the picture.

So, if he was indeed a proplayer (I’ll keep the name for myself at the moment, apparently he was really a pro, need to investigate a little bit more thou just to be sure), how come then we lost the game that badly? Wasn’t a proplayer supposed to carry matches? If he can’t do that, how could an average/good player do that if he’s fed bad teammates?

even if hes a pro he cant carry 4 scrubs or plebs whatever he call u guys from winning a game. everyone is expected to contribute 20% to the team. 1 person may carry 1 more bad player but he can only be effective as 2 person which is 40% the other 3 players must still be doing what they suppose to do.

Pure Heart.1456:

People are starting to offer payments of gold for their opponents to AFK and throw the match. It’s that bad. It’s that desperate.

Last match in a would-be 3-win-streak to hit next tier, some guy was begging the other team. …and I thought, why not offer the same, as I was also in the same position. So I did, they didn’t accept, and we lost.

I hate this new system, it’s rigged.

is this a troll post or someone admitting of violating eula agreement. thats manipulating matches and considered as bannable offence.

Belial.9350:

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

i dont like defending revs, coz i think its really powerful skill but u can tell when a rev switch weapons, its also one of the first skill the use upon switching.

Only bad revs will be this predictable.

i might be wrong, but why would a rev, switch to staff during fight? either they use skill 5 to CC, or skill 3 to disengage. dont tell me a rev would rather AA me with staff than AA with s/sh?

this is what i dont like, when they say this npc is the one telling the story so maybe hes wrong or biased? with this way of telling lore, u will have conflicting lore, instead of common knowledge amongs players. for example who is the lich king in wow? everyone will say arthas or the new guy bolvar. in GW2 if u ask about the lore u will get conflicting answer because diff. source tell you diff things.

u need revenants to chase the down body, or thief, even reapers can aslong u have the down guy targeted.

i dont like defending revs, coz i think its really powerful skill but u can tell when a rev switch weapons, its also one of the first skill the use upon switching.

Hunter.4783:

I have literally seen ZERO revs in my last 20 games, with ruby and sapphire players.

I have however noticed a minimum of 2 reapers, scrappers or eles per game.

Maybe you people need to wake up?

LMAO, that why u still in ruby.

i think you grasped what your class/build can do. but im confused since i also play a shoutbow but i play it as a support not a roamer. many times your team control 2 points, you as a druid could have secured 1 of them, instead u left it unattended, and because of the map and druid lack of mobility climbing quickly at mid, it got decapped before u get there. and your build is not very optimal as a dps thats why u cant just burst down the guy capping your points. basicly have to be +1 to even kill the guy. also your team got snowball so its basicly bunch of events lead to you guys losing. but as far as the game goes its not a blowout so its actually a goodgame. meaning both sides have the chance of winning.

should someone be banned for tanking or losing their games intentionally? some poor amber players whos trying to climb division will be paired with u.

is this the website people use for win rate? what am i looking at im greater > 65.5? or 53.10? anyways like i said this website calculate all your games for the past 3 years.

i had same problem was stuck in t7 diamond for 4 days with w/l/w/l games, then got 5 consecutive wins to reach legendary
