Guild Wars 2

For those interested guild wars 2 tpvp, MLG is currently hosting gw2 tourny. You can watch it here:

http://www.twitch.tv/mlg

Enjoy

Guys, keep in mind that it works both way; if areneNet keeps working their kitten off, but you, as a tpvp community, just give up, or start all those flaming war, it simply won’t work.

A community may have some ups and down like in real life. But they all have something in commun: they rarely ever give up when they face a problem They respect eachother, and work TOGETHER to reach together their goal. Please, it’s the only way to still make this possible. And don’t you dare bringing me that “I paid 60$ for this game” … This is simply not a viable counter-argument.

Guild wars 2 may have some current glaring issue “cough” leaderboard" cough, but it’s by insulting arenaNet and their father that we will ever advance. Get rid of this mentality, or just don’t call yourself part of a community.

Thank you.

*english is my second language.

I just saw that guild wars 2 is finally available in MLG which is also hosting a cash price tournament tomorow. Does it mean that guild wars 2 is finally an esport? If so, than I would like to congratulate:

-ArenaNet for their hard work, I really mean it, even though there were some ups and downs. But still, you didn’t give up, and you reached your goal! Good job!

-Tpvp community. I hate you all. But without you, the passion driven this game wouldn’t exist. Thank you

Note: I wish I was better at making some congratualtion. But unfortunatly, english is my second language

Do you know how insanely powerful we will be in tpvp in they give us vigor? They will either have to nerf our death shroud and fear, and probably weakness.

Well in wow pvp, you gained CC immunity after being cced 3 times in a row. Approximatly: 8sec/4sec/2sec. And than, you gained CC immunity to only ONE type of cc which means it’s still leave you vulnerable to a lot of other type of CC.

For example, if you got stunned 3 times in a row. It means you will gain cc immunity during 15 seconds to only stun. It still leaves you vulnerable to fear, cyclone, polymorph, silence, and interrupt which has btw no diminishing return in wow, and many more. Overall, it means it is pretty much possible to stunlock someone until his
death in wow. Here’s a more accurate diminishing returns in wow:

http://wowpedia.org/Diminishing_returns

So really, I don’t get gw2and Wow comparison in this thread.

GankSinatra.2653:

Ryld.1340:

Keep in mind. There’s only one stun break in WoW for most classes (trinket) on a 2 minute cooldown. You can have a lot more stun breaks in this game. Also, there’s stability to prevent stuns as well.

WoW had interrupts to prevent most CC. A much better mechanic if you axe me.

What kind of counter argument is this? He’s claiming that gw2 has stability and more stunbreak overall to prevent cc. And you respond with wow has interrupts to prevent most CC? So basically, wow had CC to prevent most CC? I just don’t get it.

Stealth.9324:

You have the right to doubt me Ahuba. Tell me this, is there ever in the history there is a post that said Necro is too weak in Conditions and need buff? Or Ranger is so fun because it relies too much on AI to do things, let get more AI? We will talk afterward.

- "We should be the master of condition, arenaNet. We shouldn’t be overshadowed by engineer. We should get burn just like them. " dhuumfire.
- "We only got bleed as a damaging condition. We need some condition diversity. Add "example 1 2 3 4 5 “. Torment
-”Our death shroud bar regeneration is extremely low, (which was, imo, the only real issue with necromancers back then)" They over buffed spectral armor to the point of making it pretty much mandatory. It’s a freaking 6-9 sec pseudo invulnerability. Try to kill a necro with it in death shroud form, and dare calling it the weakest class against focus fire.
-"Weakness freaking suck, please this and that and this got the patern?

Thanks god they didn’t listen to those who wanted necromancers to get an easy access to vigor… and shadowstep for F2 from beta. Almost like a pseudo thief.

At this point, I feel the playerbase should learn to make a difference between a good suggestion and a bad one from a player. And ArenaNet should learn to listen to the right players.

ahuba.6430:

Nuka Cola.8520:

In 5 days it’ll be 13 months, THIRTEEN MONTHS. In 13 months all they’ve done is add hotjoin 2.0 (solo q) and and leaderboards that aren’t even in game rofl. I’m sorry but this is as pathetic as it gets even if your standards are extremely low. This would be acceptable if gw2 was just another korean f2p crappy mmo but its not, its a game that aims for esport LOLOLOL

ahuba.6430:

The good players have already left, the only ones left are trolls, whiners and little brats.

I should add to the list "people with troubles letting go that feel the need to comeback everyday to say the same "THIS GAME IS SO BAD LOL " everyday"

Just call them cretins.

The funny thing is that… must of the changes brought by ArenaNet was, in fact, asked by the players base themselves.

Buff necro, too weak. Check
Buff ranger, too weak. Check
Buff warrior, too weak. Check
Nerf elem, too strong. Check
Nerf mesmer, too strong. Check
Engi are balanced. No gamebreaking change. Check
Buff Thief are weak. Check
Guardian are balanced. No gamebreaking change yet. Check

What is happening now? Nerf all those buffed classes listed above, and nerf all those nerfed classes listed above. Are you god kitten serious, tpvp community? Oh ya: Check.

More people were asking arenaNet to add solo queue instead of fixing the leaderboard/mmr. Check

(etc…)

I’m sorry guys, but it feels like arenaNet should simply stop listening to every single one of you.

Here a good suggestion for arenaNet. Make a blacklist. Time to blacklist every single one of you spamming the forum with melodramatic threads with lackluster, gamebreaking, risky suggestions praying that arenaNet will not read them.

I’ve had it.

Coulter.2315:

The fight just needs some dedication, take the time to explain and talk about the fight. Do some research, before you complain about taking time to read you have just taken time to muck about on forums. If your server be it home or overflow doesnt seem organised either leave or start sorting ppl out, you dont need a commander tag to tell ppl what to do. If your server is low population put up a notice on a forum or advertise in LA or make a guild specificly for downing Teq and gain signups or set a date for a big push – no server is small enough that they cant max out 200 ppl.

Maybe you look at this and think “that sounds like too much effort for me” then do something else, you’ll probably have more fun.

“low population put up a notice on a forum”

https://forum-fr.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/tequatl/Tequatl-sur-Pierre-Arborea

Pierre Arborea, the lowest populated french server, is doing it. Not sure why the english community refuse to do it.

To be honest, I’d rather see him become a ghost town, instead of a farmville. I mean, come on, it’s dragon. I want to be scared to at least one single mob in this entire world pve for immersion sake.

They won’t. When a mmo company decide to make some change. Get ready to wait at least during 3 to 6 months before they revert it. Or simply, you have to accept the fact that you may have to wait during 1 year. Welcome to marketing.

4. If you’re the type to say “this is a game, I shouldn’t have to do homework or try hard if I don’t want to”, then this content isn’t for you. Stop complaining and move on.

Again, not all content can cater to everyone. If it’s not for you, get over it and move on.

But for the love of god, don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

But this what the “I want more difficult content” has done from the start. This game is easymode GIEF MOAR CHALLANGE. The game wasn’t for them and yet the whining and ranting kept going. Yet the people who were fine with it should now stop? There is a word for that and that is hypocrite.

There are several differences here. The main one being that people who want more challenge don’t flood the forums with threads demanding that the current easier content should be drastically changed so that casual players can’t enjoy it.

Ouch touche. I have yet to see a thread about uping jormag and dest to the same lvl as tequalt.

Hmm they want you to make this thread. This is why.

Krugash.4920:

Poplolita.2638:

It is doable, join a guild willing to kill it. You will be able to kill tequalt. Now, if you feel like it doesn’t suit your playstyle, and prefer to do it with your own server. Than it’s another story. It’s in fact your own problem.

It has been proven that it is more than doable. Everything is working as intended. ArenaNet wanted a world pve boss that needs coordination. And guess what, it worked. Now people absolutly have to have coordination to succed. There is enough strategy or help offer from other succesful server to succed. You absolutly have no excuse.

However, if you want to keep being so stuborn, go for it. But don’t start joining this dirty kitten vendetta of " I don’t like this content, remove it" trend. If most of the world boss were like 2.0 tequalt, then I’ll understand. But this is just not the case. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. You really need to get off your high horse. And once and for all, get rid of your “me me me me me me me me me”, it’s all about ME! mindset.

Oh, I never did tequalt. I don’t do living story anyway: I don’t like it. But guess what, I won’t ask guild wars 2 to remove it just because " I don’t like it". You guys are being so unbelievable nasty and selfish. It’s no longer funny.

Fun fact: Only the english vocal minority is making all those nerf thread. Visit the french and german thread. (I don’t know about spanish, I don’t speak it). You’ll see by yourself that most of their complain are almost non existant. What you will see instead is:

-Tequalt is fun, but arenaNet needs to do something with the afk.
-We need help, can someone tell us how to succed
-A server asking other server to join them so they could get a higher success rate.

Lol I admit my english isn’t the best but, you must have severe comprehension problems or you just wanted to say something and quoted me for the sake of doing so?

Did I say it’s impossible to kill the dragon? It’s been killed right away so it definitely is killable.

Did I say I killed it or not? Or that I have no idea how to get a kill and complete some achievement points? Or that I have no clue what to do during the fight? Nope.

Did I say to remove the content or to simplify the fight? Again nope.

Infact I said I would like them to fix the problems that are making this event not enjoyable for a major part of the community and possibly make it even harder.

On the vendetta part tho, it’s funny how it actually looks like the other way around.

Not to sure why I quoted you to be honest :/ Must been an accident

Talissa Chan.7208:

Sorry pop, all I got out of that was a pile of arrogant rage. If you have no interest in the content and haven’t done it then how do you know the frustrations of 3 days of failures? Also are you saying that theres not a SINGLE post on the non-english forums saying that it needs tweaking? I’m in 3 guilds – 1 for wvw, one for pve and one for dungeons. Do i now need a guild for each world boss as they get tweaked too? Quite the logistic problem there and your advice is a tad silly. Every teq success i’ve seen has been the result of 1 – 2 large organised guilds and a handful of server natives who were lucky enough to be there. That makes it guild content as far as i’m concerened.

I was a hardcore pve back then in wow, aion, and everquest 2 to name a few. Waiting during 3 days is absolutly nothing compared to what I faced back in everquest world pve boss.

The thing that really bothers me is that you think you deserve the kill just because you’ve waited during more than 72+… and you guys call yourself casual. Seriously.

Krugash.4920:

Veltoss.9135:

What’s the problem with guesting though? I understand wanting to do stuff with your server, but it’s not a huge loss to coordinate with a big group from your server along with groups from other servers. Guesting is a great way for low population servers to group together to take down content like Tequatl, and it’s not hard to do.

I agree with the AFKer problem though, that’s a huge problem my group had late last night. I think we had two turrets AFK -.-’

I don’t want to ruin anything to anyone, possibly the opposite. I would love to see this content enjoyed by the majority of players. It caused alot of frustration and it’s fracturing the community instead.

Having it in a guild mission instanced map (or w/e other instanced option) would make it possible for devs to give it better scaling and even a gambit system. Wanna keep doing a super hard version of Tequatl with 150 persons and gambits for better rewards? do it. You don’t have that kind of numbers but still want some harder contents to enjoy? do it. That’s what I’d like it to be.

KickButtMario.2758:

I am certain this will get a nerf soon but nerf it after the 2 weeks are up, which won’t be long now. A lot of people will stop doing this afterwards.

The only nerf I can think of is increasing the timer from 15 minutes to 20-30 minutes.

I doubt it. Once ArenaNet implements something, expect it to remain unchanged for at least over 6 months. It took them 1 year to revamp one single dragon. Or simply see queen karka, although, I don’t think those two are comparable: tequalt kill brings prestige which is not the case with the queen karka.

Mirta.5029:

Poplolita.2638:

I manly read french forum as it is my first language, and sometime visit the german forum, and the anglophone one included.

And from the observation that I’ve gathered, why is the anglophone vocal minority is so god kitten whinny? They ask for nerf here and there non stop. While other communities forum is filled with strategy threads instead of “I want this content nerfed because my server can do it” or “I waiting 12 hours, therefore I should NOT fail”.

Just what is that? That’s like me telling to my teacher to give me A+ on my physic exam because I studied during 72hours +. Or wasn’t “lucky” like other people because I work, and they don’t. I just don’t get that logic.

It’s PVE raid content that does not give rewards making him worth doing. This is a game that we do for fun, not work, yet to beat tequatl Underworld sacrificed 4 days of 8 hour long tries and today we had one 6 hour long try. In order to succeed you can’t have pugs, you can’t have low levels and you can’t have people not on TS. If Tequatl was an instanced raid nobody would have complaints, however Tequatl is a PVE event in not a level 80 zone.

While I understand most of your point, I would like to point out one thing.

" If Tequatl was an instanced raid nobody would have complaints"

I’m not sure about that. The vocal minority which is rampant here in gw2 [Eng], will still find a reason to complain. Here some examples of the complains we could have got if it was a raid instanced content:

-Boss too hard for us pugs with no teamspeak.
-Why is tequalt a raid content now when it was an open world pve content? Why should I feel the need to lfg when I didn’t have to before.
-I shouldn’t have to have to link my gear to do MY living content, and be in a group.
-Believe me, even if it’s an instanced raid, there will be chances to have some afkers and troll in your huge group of 80 people causing us to wipe and start all over again, kick him.. (Source: wow and ever quest 2 experience)
-Casual players will feel excluded from this content. But this time, LITERALY. I"m mainly talking about those who refuses to get teamspeak, and play a certain build. And play the way they want.

And so on.

I know that you feel that raid instance will cause less complains than know. But you hafve to remember one thing. It was an open world pve content open to everyone which is enough of a reason to cause a huge upward (Not sure about spelling) among this part of the community.

hmmm… I’m not sure why I have the impression that casual players are acting more and more like a hardcore player but in the reverse side. Aka, hardcore casual players. Players who plays a lot, but ask for easy mode or nerf in pve with AMAZING reward content instead of hardmode content in world pve.

This phenomen seems to only exist in gw2, I have never seen any other mmo where casual players cry to nerf a “hardmode” pve boss, either it’s in a instanced raid or in open world pve. They usually ask for an easier more with a lower reward (You got plenty of them in gw2) but no. It seems you have to have the same exact progression as the player who plays 12hours a day.

I’m a pvper, and rarely pve. But this kind of mentality is really fascinating.

Mirta.5029:

It killed the determination in my server. For 8 hours we tried with teamspeak and the biggest guilds. Dragonbrand tried for 20 hours. We did everything. We protected the cannons, we removed his stacks, we buffed the zerg, still we only got to 60% on our best try. Don’t try and make it look like people are not thinking. It’s very insulting to those that know that we won’t ever do it now.

Try again, or give up. That’s how it should be, it’s hard content afterall. You server still got… a lot of other world bosses to take down.

Everytime you post, I irks me that areneNet still didn’t address elem concerns on one of your thread.

Give it one week, or maybe more. One day is way to early to even ask for a nerf. No, 5 tries is not enough, this is in fact way too low for a top tier difficulty boss. Maybe at 50-75+ tries like in every god kitten heroic rain in every traditional mmo, we’ll talk. This is just being impatient with a mentality of a 12 years old giving up after one try for x or y reason. Get over it, and try again.

oh my mistake… I didn’t realize I had to play this game as a job and be frustrated and annoyed to win. Here I was playing it for fun… silly me… Guess only 12 year olds are allowed to have fun

Oh poor guy, can’t beat the hardest world pve game in the game first day. Or simply, can’t get everything you want first try, so you’re just going to make some dirty ultimatum: “I quit if it’s not getting nerfed, guild wars 2 is not a job” and so on. Get over it, I have no sympathy for this kind of mentality.

I can do the content just fine. unfortunately 79 other whiny people like you in blues make it just stupid and unfun.

Funny how you didn’t even take a look on my history: I don’t pve at all actually. I only tpvp. But thanks, it’s always great to have people making some innacurate statement for some reason.

I quit wow because I felt 3s arena at high rating was full of thief and warlock with shaman as a healer: RLS. In gw2, it’s the same thing which is quite hilarious. A stealth class with good evade ability with stealth on top of it with amazing burst coupled with a master condition class with amazing controll and spread pressure simply synergize too well in pretty much any pvp mmo… for some reason. But I will never quit gw2 pvp. It’s freaking free for god sake. And I don’t have to grind anything to play it.

Sentorix, you’re “no kitten ” comment was unnecessary. Beside this little nitpick, I just subscribed to your youtube channel, and I love it. Thank you for showing those awesome duels!

Bashing dev doesn’t invite to constructive discussion. Therefore, this thread is should be deleted, and the op should get a warning or a temporary ban as well.

Come land it on me then. I will be home in 2 hours.

I see it as a L2P issue. I hear people telling me its too easy to land and to avoid it you basically have to be lucky. I think that’s the wrong way to prove your point. Why not just roll a mes log on and Moa me then post how Aphro is a scrub who can’t rupt or dodge Moa. I don’t care if you have 3 clones and stun me or stealth to cast it, I will still avoid it.

I mean you can continue posting about how it’s too hard for people to reliably avoid all you want… But good players seem to defy that logic. You don’t have to jump in the air or throw your arm up to have a telegraphed skill.

I am driving home now. You can add me in game and ill add you when I get home.

I’m in Europe, it’s late night here.

I won’t be there when you are home and I’ll tell you this again.
Trying to land a Moa in a 1vs1 staged situation when you are expecting Moa the whole time won’t prove your point.

Many arguments has been brought to prove you why Moa isn’t as telegraphed as you’re claiming it to be, such as:

• Aura color blends with the Mesmer theme
• Aura dimension is small on smaller character models (asuras)
• Mesmer movement isn’t particulary emphatic
• No icon shows up during the cast time above mesmer’s head
• It can be casted while stealthed

All your arguments were “come at me and let’s do a 1vs1 with me trying to dodge a skill I surely know it will come”.

You should realize that a person’s experience (yours) isn’t a valid argument, while logical reasoning and factual considerations are.
I can come here and claim to have magic powers because I know some card tricks, but that doesn’t mean that I’m saying the truth.

In any esport or competitive games, top experienced players streams and opinion are usually taken more seriously than any kind of theorycraftings.

Teams are as random as getting temple

This should be your signature, Google. It’s such a cleaver analogy ^^

The funny thing is sometime I get teamed with the same player over and over again, and the moment I’m finally against them after like 5-6 + games, I start winning. And then I whisper -knowing perfectly that he just lost 10 games in a row- them telling them I’m sorry, I know the feeling. And the response I get is usually : “I’m used to losing, I rarely win anyway” How disturbing is that… Sometime I wonder if those players got some masochistic personality disorder

uberkingkong.8041:

All yall need to stop whining.
Stop over exaggerating as well.

#ainthardtoscreenshot

Here, just now! No, we didn’t win.

uberkingkong.8041:

Thing is getting better gear is a bigger incentive than just ranking up. In competitive MMOs people hardly ever play for the fun, its all about the incentive this game right now as barely any incentives.

That guy that reached rank 70 his incentive was to get to rank 70, he got it, nobody cares about rank so he quit.
That guy that got ultimate dominator, that was his incentive, since nobody really cared about it or not he quit as well.

Getting the master sword after grinding…. You go own newbies and watch them go crazy over you because you that amazing. That grind was fully worth it.

I get what your saying by not having to grind to be competitive, but they can always make a mode where everyone is equal and have open world pvp server where the dude with the master sword could woop your kitten .

In GW2 you have no reason to grind, you just grind because that’s all there is. The best thing to do in PvE? Grind CoF P1, its the best way to earn gold lol.

In other MMO’s you grind because you have to, you have reasons to grind which makes the whole grind worth it. Its not just some pointless grind for gold.

This game has some crappy competitiveness as well. Games like Quake didn’t boast about esports and all that crap, yet there was a lot of CLAN WARS back in the days, there wasn’t any official tournament it was just what clan has best record of beating other clans.
You barely see any of this in GW2. Even though you see a little bit of structured guild battles, its as good as Quake or worse and that’s not good because Quake is 18 years old, this game needs to be more of today’s standards and by today’s standards this game kittening sucks at competitiveness. And yes I know one is FPS and other is MMO, but as in terms of competiveness and guild/clan battles, this game sucks. FPS are games were you just want to have fun. mmo…RPG is a type of game where you want to grind gear and stuff, gives you a reason to keep playing the game rather than asking yourself what to do all day long…. hrmmm I guess I have no choice but to farm CoF P1 because its best way to get gold for my 10th legendary which is same as any other dinky weapon.

Also both Quake and GW2 are games. And its my belief all games are rated and compared the same regardless if one is RPG and the other is driving and the other is basketball and the other is FPS, people will play the game that’s the most fun. When HALO was fun it didn’t just hurt other FPS games it hurt MMORPGs and other genres as well. So I have a right to compare games of difference but similar concepts. In the end the best game will not matter if its RPG or whatever it will just matter as how fun it is, competitive it is, and if you can play with a lot of people as well.

If you want to get a point across, at least, don’t do it with a narrow minded point of view, and with some biased grind situations irrelevant to gw2 s/t pvp.

Note: It’s impossible to grind COF1 since July patch and it’s not the only way to earn gold in Pve… Anyway, it doesn’t have anything to do with pvp.

I can definitely say that 1/3 of my lost games are due to some afkers, and I just played 2 matches with afkers. I’ve had enough, something has to be done. Otherwise, soloQ leaderboard is literaly a measurement of who’s lucky, and who’s not.

uberkingkong.8041:

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

well yeah hope its not grindy

What you mean like GW2?
Grind out as many CoF P1 as you can to make enough gold to buy a legendary.
Grind out as many PvP rank points as you can to make rank.
Grind out as many WvW dolyak assists as you can to earn a title.

At least other MMO’s have a worthwhile achievement at the end of the grind compared to GW2.

After people are done with GW2 they quit because its so exhausting and simply isn’t worth the grind after all.

Look at the WvW’er that got Ultimate Dominator, he quit.
Look at the PvP’er who got rank 70, he quit.

I didn’t know I had to grind rank to increase my stats in spvp. There is a BIG difference between having to grind to remain competitive and optional/cosmetic grind.

*I might get a weird reputation with this thread, but this section of this forum feels so toxic that I felt the need to post this.

Its even better when you understand what she says

I have soft skin
In my bubble bath
I splash myself
I’m cracking up about it
My goldfish fish
In my bubble bath
I’m wrapping him up
I tell him:

I don’t have a problem
I’m just being lazy
I’m not feeling unwell
I’m just being lazy
In water I’m bathing
That’s important
I’m feeling at ease the way things are

My skin is soft
In my bubble bath
I’m lazing around in the shadow
of bombs
Everything is a pleasure
Obidient offenses
I’m making a list of things that annoy me

I’m fed up with people who are always whining
Who roll at only 2 miles per hour
Who are comlaining and who are stuck
On the idea of a fixed idea
I’m fed up with those who keep nagging
Useless terrorists
Who keep painting everything black
Who call me a hypocrite
I’m fed up with the big sister
Who complains about everything and who keeps crying
Fed up with rain, fed up with courgettes
Which make me throw up under my blanket
I’m fed up with cynics
And near saffron meadows
I’m fed up with being fed up

I have soft skin
In my bubble bath
No seismic vibrations
I’m relaxing
And I’m unwinding
In my bubble kingdom
There’s only one catch

Yep yep, sums up how I feel about this forum pretty well. Thank you for sharing your translation even though french is my mother tongue ^^

You could also examine the true problem conditions. The largest of which is burning. Scale burning damage back and turn it into a utility spell. For example, it would only do 2x or 3x bleed damage, but now would put revealed on any target also burning.

I always found that, being able to stealth while burning, was odd. You gotta spread this idea, it’s probably one of the best idea I’ve ever read on the forum concerning burning!

Thank you, ColinJohanson

I’m from eu and it happened to me this afternoon. It wasnt jst a small it was lireraly a hell of a spiky lag that forced me to restart my computer it never happened to me before

Can we please get back on topic. I already asked before. If not for me, do it for the rest of the people here. If you really want to discuss the problems we have with each other, feel free to pm me. Then we can keep it out of here.

I would’ve prefered if you’d reacted to the part where I was trying to bring it back on topic, so let’s try again pls.

Just gonna throw this out there, but you intentionally goad him into responding to you. If you wanted to keep those problems out of or derailing a thread you can simply ignore his post and make your own in regards to whatever the OP topic is. You want to argue semantics, you want to try and push or catch him on any little thing you can, seems to me time would be better spent just accepting that people have different views of things and move on.

You should pm instead of posting here.You’re making the thread going off topic again.

The same aply to you. And to me. See.

You cant expect mesmers to run portal and illusion agaisnt a gazzilion necros and sp rangers.They need their defence or they ll be dead most of the time.
Also i dont get what is this soloq mentality you are talking about?
Why cant i run whatever i want in soloq? I didnt see any sign saying only meta builds are allowed. I can only promise you that i ll play my best and i hope thats enough..isnt it? Or else lets all log on to our sp rangers and spam 1 ..so much fun right?

I don’t know about you, but last night, I faced teams with more thiefs, warrior and mesmers than the “meta professions” you are talking about. The mesmers team that ended up winning always RUNNED MOA and PORTAL. Obviously I’m going to suggest some mesmers to run portal or illusion of life when I end up winning my 6th match with lady (forgot the second name) who happens to run portal. Coincidence?

Also, spirit ranger and warriors might be the most popular build atm, but during that night, I faced more thief, and warrior, and mesmer than any other professions. You people need to stop assuming everyone queue into the same “meta” triple ranger/necro teams which isn’t even good anymore ,since the raise of the warrior, over and over again.

How can you be that selfish?

You should ask that question to yourself.

Yes, but thank you. I make sure I reroll the right profession before the match. In fact, I’ll make everything to bring the team to victory. Now the question is, why other people don’t?

The thing is this is not the happening to me for the first time. Just last time, there was a rank 51 guardian who went afk just because someone told him to go bunker. He said I don’t play with forum kids or something like that. I mean seriously, how am I going to rank up on the leaderboard if I have to constently get narrowminded people in the same team? It’s unbearable.

Meanwhile, in Cantha…

I got a question for you, mesmer. Why most of you are not running portal/shatter build but instead some weird condition/mantra build that aren’t even efficient in tpvp?

I had to be unlucky enough to get teamed with 2-3 mesmers 10 times in a row – I only won one of them ironically with the one with the most mesmers (3).

How is that fair? I’m not even on the eu ladder anymore, went to 756 rank to 89%. Just what’s wrong with you mesmers? Why won’t you run a build that will at least bring some form of support for your team? Is that too much to ask?

When I ask some mesmer to get portal on their utility bar, or simply ask them to freaking remplace all their mantra utility by something useful and viable only to get " I refuse" as a response or “let me play as I want” from freaking rank 40+ as a response, something is wrong with SoloQ mentality.

How can you be that selfish? Hell, how is it even possible to get teamed with that kind of mesmers 10 times in a row? Are they all the same or something but on another character? Or something? Trolling the tpvp? Just what is this?

I can’t handle it anymore, I’m not sure if I will ever soloQ again. However, I’m still curious to know if any of you had similar experience to share? And how you overcome it. Maybe it’s just me afterall, and has nothing to do with luck.
