Guild Wars 2

u play so kitten much but hey congratz lol

tempest = when opposite team has 2-3 necro.
reaper (condi) = when they have mostly DH, Rev.
Rev (power) = forest map when opposite are mostly bunkers, u go around and kill npc when they spawn coz bunker team will not touch npc.
druid = when u have 1 ele in your team

is this true because i notice i been BSing at unraked since i hit Onyx and trying so many diff. class and build, but it affects my win/loss ratio? also MMr? why is this not separate?

fact that you’re correcting people over the internet amuses me :P

i would advice to stop playing once you lose by a large margin, wait 10m the Q up again. it will break the matchmaking they have decided for u.

Bwadark.2519:

Hey guys. Right so I started ranked over the weekend and I wanted to get to saphire before end of season. It was going super well and I was winning match’s pretty much 90% of the time. My MMR was pretty low, I guess.

I’m halfway through emerald and I’ve just hit a wall and I can’t get out of it. I’m the person who wants to talk tactics prematch. I’m explaining what everyone needs to do and to not falter. Very rarely people listen, even rarer they already know. But most of the time people want to run around and be in every fight.

Meanwhile I’m continually going to far, I’m taking and holding and scoring points for the team. I’m sometimes keep 2 of my opponents busy, sometimes 3. Keeping a lot of pressure on the enemy team to force them to deal with a point that is often, apply and forget. None of my team mates listen when I try to tell them to stay on points but I guess its more fun to run around and start fights in no man’s land. Meanwhile I’m say here, scoring points for my ‘team’ while none for myself.

Then we lose. And I lose a pip. Even in a game against people far better than us. I had 3 of my teammates listening. Wanting to do well for the team. We lost by 9 points but we got that far through superior tactics, sadly inferior skill. Still lost a pip.

It seems like I have to focus on my personal score to protect my pips and that any effort made to accumulate points for the team aren’t credited. I’m not a great PvPer. I dislike following the meta and disagree with the distribution of competitive builds. Builds should be secret and part of the challenge of PvP itself.

I don’t mind losing, I don’t mind dying. But I am bothered about my pips. I refuse to believe that I need a 5 win streak to get out of this tier, to meet the next 5 win streak. I refuse to believe my friend who is 2 tiers away from diamond has got that far from only winning.

So guys, what am I doing wrong? Should I focus on point capture at this level or is it pointless at this level? Should I just score as many points for myself and hope to get pips from losses? Or at least protect them.

Tl;Dr. Lose game. Lose pip. Win game. Win pip. How do I protect my pips in the losses.

i would like to help you, but if we team up we will go up against legendaries and i think will have even more hard time going up. wish i have another account to help u.

u guys seems to be my ideal guild. but i was wondering do u guys teach a complete raid newbie your ways? i have a full ascended zerker war. i have 23k AP so yeah i play everyday, i also play pvp and im somewhat descent.

dont sweat it too much, did u really need the title, the medal in your name. and back piece so that others know your in leg. div?

I dont know if a lot of u been playing ele for a long time, but ele has been on top of pvp 3 times.
1. before signet of restoration and mistform nerf, this around launch (2012) of the game.
2. when stats on celestial amulet got buff. signet of resto. got buff again (april 2014)
3. tempest elite. (hot launch2015)

ele dead weight around betwen 2013-2014

weekly is way often but 6 months is too long. maybe every 3-4 months is ok

too many scrubs like me lol well at least i got the back item ~_*

nah cele amulet been broken since it got buff, i been posting it here to be removed for a long time finally they listen.

i even made a PSA thread here at forums and people still dont learn LOL u deserve it :S

heres the thing if players are given power to kick someone during the game some will abuse it. also why would someone wants to take someone spot just to see that a team is already losing? that would be a waste of time.

i was under the impression that SH is not part of league, i think i heard it from a dev. but was trying to look for the video cant find it. then surprise it counts to your league. tried it once got stomp by a premade team as soloQ and i never played it again.

Celeras.4980:

OP could not be more wrong. The 4x Amber + 1 Legendary team is treated kitten legendaries. For matchmaking, for match prediction, for everything. They have an increased chance of LOSING multiple pips, not gaining them. Its a 5 legendary team and will be favored against almost everybody. You want to party with Ambers, you assume the risk. 100% intended and 100% needed.

If you don’t know what the kitten you’re talking about you probably shouldn’t post.

^^^^^ THIS

have you seen 2 mesmer try to res someone at downstate? u dont coz they get res instantly

Dear Pvp players who complain about broken MM system and then you SS a game of pugs vs legendary premades in Stronghold. if you havent notice or didnt know its a common farm for premades to get to legendary easily. by destroying curious players who generally has no clue how to play stronghold.

wait the 4 amber + 1 legendary will not get 3 pips if they win cause new MM treats those ambers as legendary also.

hitsandruns.2063:

seems to be working as intended :l

looks like u went to emerald to sapphire should u be happy :P

agreed that the changes in stability and CC chains made rise to bunker meta, but even before that the buff for cele amulet is at fault.

why is there more threads like this, i understand that soloQ to legend div. is way harder than duo/premade but after the first one making thread like this, this just screams look at me and stroke my ego.

Ele overload has very HUGE tells, can u avoid it? that will fix your problem.

yes its bugged still if you get to legendary division before fix

The matchmaking system in Season 1 uses a blend of both your current division placement in Leagues as well as your individual matchmaking rating (MMR). This means that you’ll generally get paired with and against players in your division that are of similar skill levels. Unfortunately, what this also means is that from day one you’re going to have difficult matches, and because of the way MMR works in Ranked play, you’ll have a very difficult time maintaining enough of a win-streak to progress through tiers and divisions. This is especially true as you climb into divisions such as Ruby where you can lose points as well as tiers. While this system helps ensure that your matches are always as competitive as possible, it does mean that it’s also more difficult to get to the division where you actually belong based on your skill – for example, as a top tier player, the difficulty of your matches in Amber would actually be fairly close to what you’d experience in Ruby and beyond. After analyzing your feedback, we’ve decided to shift toward having your division standing in PvP Leagues be even more reflective of your personal skill level than it currently is.
Beginning with Season 2, matchmaking for Ranked matches will use your placement in your current league division as your primary matchmaking consideration and pair you against players who are placed in the same point range as you, regardless of the skill level (MMR) of the other people in that point range. While we’ll be using divisions to match you against your immediate opponents, we’ll still use your MMR to place you on teams with similarly skilled players (from your division point range) to help ensure that you’re not forced to play with individuals that are of a much higher or lower skill than you. Ultimately, this means that the new matchmaking changes will make PvP Leagues much more reflective of your actual skill, and each division will be progressively more difficult to compete in.

pyriall you should be the one who needs reading coz none of this address whats happening right now. specially in my SS 3 man premade with legendary and 2 ruby pugs VS all pugs with amber, saphire, emerald.

actually what they talk about fixing matchmaking is not whats the problem atm, something is broken because this match up shouldnt even be possible with their current system in place so nice try defending them. its a bug or broken code i dont know.

if pointing out something wrong with their game is asking for attention i guess i am. 3 man premade with legendary and ruby vs full pugs with amber! and emerald

kitten Anet what the kitten they are doing spending 200k on pvp tourney with this kind of BS happening in their game.

so yeah fixed your game, i paid $99 for this expansion coz u promise league system which u kitten with the horrible utterly broken match making! i play as a casual few hours a day and waited 4-6 mins Q per game just for this! kitten kitten kitten!

this been going on since the first week

soooooooooo no SOLOQ still?????? GG

im in diamond and i never group up with anyone, soloQ all the way baby

how ruby works should have been how amber, emerald, and saphire works. they should all lose tiers also. if your a scrub in pvp you will be stuck in ruby the whole season. if your somewhat decent you will be in diamond or possible legendary at the end of season.

never 2 v1 a bunker unless you can kill it easily join mid wipe them and comeback and help home.

1. full premade vs complete pugs

2. we getting 3 pips meaning they have higher MMr and were suppose to match/fight others with same level of skill or MMr?

3. the bunker meta specially chronomancer. this fight took forever because both have chrono. 5 minutes have past before someone in our team caps a point.

4. my average Q times around 4-6 mins and my average game 10- 12 like this game. meaning less time to play even for harcore players and even less with casuals like me.

hmm complain how u cant kill ele, what do you think of chrono bunker? you know those who use bunker amulet like soldier and sentinel?

tarcis plays bunker mesmer soooo yeah warrior 0_0 also after the thing he posted about the current meta and he’s playing one

would you rather play with people your same division/skill/experience? or would you rather have shorter Q times, but will be team up with someone with less experience? and fight other players with higher division? the thing is we cant have both since even like anet just said pvp community is growing we still dont have enough players who advance in their proper division. we as a pvp community ask for leagues so dont cry if the system is looking for a good even match for you and you have to wait longer.

its been 4 days, do you wanna be in legendary in a week? i rather not have to play with people outside my division than having longer Q times. if your going to be match or group with people outside your division that then whats the point of having league.

Q: will you be adding SoloQ and TeamQ ? that my only concern about the current league since most of my loss is due having complete pug VS 3man, 4man or even full team. i tried 3 manning but i ended up against a full team from PZ. pls hear us soloQers, since most if not all your casual pvpers and upcoming pvper will most likely be playing solo and we dont want to feeling helpless against premade team rolling on us. or atleast dont make soloQ lose a PIP if against a premade team.

seen so may of this lately why is that? am i missing something? whenever i win in a row i always get to fight premade vs pugs, its not fun its like the matchmaking is forcing me to lose. ex: i was with a group of pugs we in the same team for 3 games with maybe 1 or 2 diff player. after winning 3 games i suddenly see myself to the opposite team. playing against them.

i actually want revenant legend swap and weapon skill cd to be lower XD

they join pvp daily custom maps.

why cant we have a racial change like total makeover kit? i wanted to swap so many of my toons race because of many reason like my necro whos a charr but i wanted a grenth theme, but since charr doesnt believe in human gods it feels off. also charr sucks at jumping puzzle. you could say well just make a new one. althoough leveing is no problem because i have like 800 tomes, map completion will take a while and not something i would do just to have a max necro again with the right race. so pls im sure im not alone in this. this will be a huge QoL for players and money making for Anet.

I think you people used to WoW,really need to calm down right there.If you are bored of leveling,and if you are willing to pay irl $ for race change,it doesn’t mean its going to happen.Level new char,you lazy peon,do not expect everything to get spoon handed to you if you are willing to ignore everything for $

i guess you didnt read what i said, that leveling is very easy for me since i have 800 tomes, i already have 9 toons for each class… now whos lazy? with your thinking we might aswell not have total makeover kit and if you want gender change or hair change we might aswell not be lazy and just reroll right? kitten logic

during the election devs said that if kiel won we get the reactor fractal and if evon won we get the fall of abbadon fractal. but to our surprise scarlet has something to do with the reactor exploding… now if evon won and we get the fall of abbadon fractal do we find a connection to the living story season 1? maybe? i guess we will never know anymore.

well if they won they go back and sleep after eating their share of magic

the way i see abbadons character is close to the greek mythos of the titan prometheus who gifted the human, FIRE and incur the wrath of the gods. is prometheus a bad guy for doing that? but like konig said at nightfall abbadon becomes obsessed of escaping and revenge. but wouldnt anyone? getting overthrown as a god for gifting magic to other races? ill be hella mad also lol

less dps and animation you can see from a mile away.

guys remember after the ele nerf we start posting about mesmers ok? this pvp community i swear -_-
