As evidence of my desire and effort to get better; I’ve learned 3 new classes, Druid, Reaper and Auramancer Ele. I’ve invested in a gaming mouse and taught myself to use it in addition to a tartarus. I’ve spent countless hours playing over the past 3 seasons.
Again, I consider legendary more or less meaningless. The deliberately unfair matchmaking makes it hard for me to see why I should respect a high pvp rank.
You are conflating two unrelated things; The “legendary” backpack and “Legendary” pvp rank. At no time did ANET say that the wings represented legendary rank. The only relationship is in the name. Hence, your argument about who “deserves” the wings is moot.
With respect to “1” beating “1” as opposed to “10” vs “10”… all else being equal, it’s the same accomplishment. Assuming a fair match, in each case the player defeated someone of similar skill. The assumption that the 10v10 pairing members had more overall skill is irrelevant because the relative skill levels are approximately the same.
Simply being “legendary” doesn’t carry any entitlement. That’s especially true because the rank has been debased by the various tricks and exploits players have used to obtain it.
I’m not conflating anything. The legendary back piece was meant to be earned. Not simply handed out because you invested time into it. Time was one component of the reward, there are more and you fail in those areas.
1’s beating 1’s to legendary or crossing division thresholds is not and should not be equal to 10’s beating 10’s. Especially when you are pushing forward with a ranking system.
The more and more you speak the more I believe you do not deserve the back piece. You some how continually twist what was being stated by A-Net to mean that if you show up and play; you deserve the reward. It’s simply not the case.
Yes actually. Your argument is a classic strawman, but I’ll answer it anyway. If a “1” wins against another “1” .. it really has the same value as a “10” winning against another “10.”
Assuming a fair match in both cases, the achievement is the same. Viz. Winning against another player of similar skill.By contrast, a “10” hammering a “1” is no contest at all and not worthy of reward.
Your argument also presupposes that “Legendary” rank is or should be limited to top players. Quite a few posters have complained of bad play in upper divsions. So on that score the system has failed as well.
It’s not a strawman at all. Legendary should be the most skilled players. 1’s beating 1’s to get to Legendary should never happen. The more and more you post the harder and harder it is to feel any sympathy towards you. You have no desire to get better, nor do you have any desire to improve the system. You simply want the easiest path the legendary wings. Guess what? Not everyone deserves them..
No, what shes saying is. If shes a 1 on the mmr scale of 10. She wants to be teamed up with other 1’s vs other 1’s and have competitive matches and a fair chance to get the wings. Thats all she has ever said. She knows shes not the best player out there.
Exactly my point! If my mmr is 1, I want to be matched up with other 1’s.
Thank you!
If your MMR is 1 then you should face only 1’s and stay in Amber. You should not be able to progress through divisions winning against people of such low MMR. You should have to beat people of higher MMR to advance divisions.
I don’t care about progressing in rank except insofar as it affects my getting the shiny.
It’s very clear that rank progression is dictated by; the matchmaker which is pre-setting results, mmr and teaming. Therefore, it’s pretty much meaningless in my opinion.
Then you have been utterly lying about wanting fair matches. The reality is you can end up with “fair” matches and still not achieve the wings. Which means, your real complaint is that you cannot get the wings. Just because you have devoted time to something does not ensure the reward. Time is only part of the requirements in achieving them.
I don’t agree totally with this concept of MMR hell. There have been plenty of cases where players, on long losing streaks, have passed over their accounts to others (yes I know TOS and all) and have proceeded to move them out to other divisions.
So I don’t know if ArenaNet plans to fix this, but right now I can determine the outcome of the match based on which team has the better bunker ele…
Problems I see with this:
1. If one team has a bunker ele and the other team does not, the team with the bunker ele will most likely win. It’s not fun knowing the outcome before the match even starts.
2. Eles who don’t use the standard bunker builds are useless. There is no room for build variety here because we NEED the bunker ele to win.
3. This one is more opinion-based, but player versus player is a place where you should be fighting other players. While I do think bunkers deserve a place in PvP, I do not think the outcome of the match should heavily rely on players who don’t actually kill other players. The match should be based on who could fight the best, not who can stay on a captured point and survive the longest.This is just a quick post I wanted to make to see if anyone else noticed this problem. I understand not everyone will agree with me, so let me know if you think I’m wrong on any points.
I will counter your anecdote with my own. EVERYTIME my team was without a cleric ele and the other team had one, my team won.
The good thing about them is the particle effects can go with my swords. The bad thing about them is the stain glass is like grandmas ugly couch blue.
Edit* side note.
The metal part where the wings attach to the back. Closest color I found was Peanut Butter. At least on heavy armor. Cloth and leather Idk.Also lol at the keybinds of the previous posters 67890 wow mind blown.
Why would your mind be blown over 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 being bound? You realize people can using a gaming mouse with 12 buttons right?
I don’t know if it’s balanced but it sure is boring that there’s not a lot of viable builds anymore. So if balanced means everyone runs the same exact build then I’d rather have it unbalanced. Also I find it very frustrating how fast most of my teams die, I just really don’t see the point in everyone getting 1 shotted… how is that fun, I know that’s what a lot of people asked for but I seriously don’t see how it’s fun or makes any sense.
You can run virtually anything you want in solo queue. If you need a build to carry you, then sorry that you’re bored.
Yea of course you can run whatever you want, but running whatever you want doesn’t mean you’re gonna win. There’s not a lot of viable builds that would actually be useful, and they keep becoming less and less and less with all the nerfs and amulet & rune removals and the making elite specs way stronger than anything else. ALL the builds that I used to enjoy and that were useful , nobody runs anymore because if they did they’d be dead weight. And I really don’t enjoy any of the few current useful builds that everyone’s running atm, soo soo boring. And it’s extremely difficult staying alive long enough to cast anything or hit anyone with having most of the defensive skills and amulets nerfed into oblivion or flat out removed. So yea run whatever you want but don’t expect to be very useful, hope you have a really good premade to carry you if you run whatever you want.
To clarify, you can run virtually anything you want AND be useful. Let’s not pretend for one second that ranked matches are as coordinated as: 5 v 5 premades. As long as you know your build and can fulfill it in your team comp, with a compromise to adjust on composition, you should be fine.
Um no you can’t, unless you’re one of those people who have a premade or super high mmr then yea you can practically go afk and still win. But people on a team that can’t carry them can not run whatever they want and be useful…
You cannot claim that you can’t when it has already been done. It has and continues to be done. As long as the build fills a role and you’re able to play it then you are more than capable of having it work on your team. There’s tons of builds you can play because there are fewer scenarios where people are going to punish you for playing it (in our current ranked population).

You lost because you had Cruuk on your team.
Anet’s fault for making vague statements, so that other misinterpret them. i mean how many players in forums have any clear idea how the MM works? i mean do u even see any post from Anet explaining things? aslo why is Anet so bad at transparency, everything has to be hidden or a secret. show players MMR after game instead of division so people saying they been group to losing team will stop. if they can see that the game MM is balance.
There wasn’t anything vague about the statement. It says, “opportunity”.
@Pakkazull
Your quote makes the point.
“When the PvP League season begins, everyone will have an opportunity to follow the Path of the Ascension to earn the new PvP legendary backpiece.”
It says “everyone.” No, it doesn’t say anyone. This is almost a tautology. In any case, anyone is included in everyone.
Let’s continue… “You don’t need to be the most skilled player to earn it, but highly skilled players will find that they can progress through the Path of the Ascension faster.”
It does not say “only those who are worthy” or anything of the kind. The backpack was clearly not presented as something for elite players only.
@Pyriall
I would have no issue with dropping a division except: The backpack requires crossing divisions.
If divisions were allowed to drop, what would stop the farmers from simply throwing a game at the bottom of Emerald.? They drop into amber.. They then get an easy crossing back into Emerald, rinse and repeat.
The other issue is that it would raise the frustration level even higher.
It would be easier and more effective to set the matchmaker to give even teams and even chances of victory.
First of all it says, “everyone will have the opportunity…” It does not say everyone will get it. Second, you make it unique division crossing (it’s not hard to find a reasonable solution). Third, I have offered to group with you as others have as well.
There is definitely something with matchmaking – at least soloQ. In theory, you’d think that it was arranging teams with equally skilled players and thus an equal chance to win. By that, if you soloQ, your win rate should have a base of 50%.
If you’re a really good player or really bad player, that likely moves that number up and down, but you’re still only 1/5th of the team. I think you can have an impact, but 1 player can’t carry a team.
If I recall correctly, a little bit ago, I won 7 soloQ games in a row. If I assume a 50% win rate due to even matches, the chances of that happening are 0.78% i.e.very unlikely. So in other words, I’m either an amazingly skilled player that can tilt every match dramatically in my teams favor, i.e. extremely unlikely, or there is some kind of system that is not pairing equally skilled players.
Last 2 seasons I advanced up fairly quickly. This season, i struggled early on, but now I’m having huge win streaks. My level of play hasn’t really changed so I can’t say that it’s because of me.
You can’t 50/50 if there are division safe guards in place. Some of these people who are on these long losing streaks shouldn’t be in the divisions they are having trouble in. They should drop to the tiers below and I’ll bet you they fall into the 50/50 range.
The matchmaking is disgusting. Almost impossible matchups for low MMR players and free wins for high MMR players (see all the screenshots with 20-40+ winstreaks on these forums).
There are plenty of instances where people have allowed higher skilled players to use their so called “MMR HeLL” accounts. You know what happens?
I have fulfilled all but one requirement for the wings. At only 377 games this season, I’ve taken it relatively easy it is true.
My current 22.3% Win rate is up from a low approaching 18%. That took a great deal of effort.
I’ve put in near employement hours in bursts into GW2 PvP during 3 seasons. In the course of it I’ve learned to have some basic ability in two new professions.
Still, the chances are rather slim to non existent that I can pass 4 divisions in the next 1 1/2 seasons with the matchmaking consistently putting me on the side scheduled to lose.
I’m hardly a casual player. It’s time to acknowledge that the wings really weren’t for “everyone” and that the matchmaking needs a conceptual change.
I’ll team up with you as well as others I’m sure. I have sent you messages in game. If the wings mean this much to you, I would like to see you get them.
Honestly, if you are a decent enough player you can play what ever you really want. I’ve played old builds, pre-hot builds, wonky builds, and everything in between. Unless you are playing organized 5 v 5, it rarely comes down to your build.
It’s related to Krait runes.
It would be great if I wouldnt have to click ton of things within 90 seconds before a match starts to change my build from power to condi or vice versa, even doing so in PvP lobby is tedious, time-consuming and its possible to forget to switch a thing or two like sigils or traits
so would you guys be so nice and help me take Anet’s attention on that one matter because we would all benefit greatly from being able to save our builds and quickly switch between them in 1-2 clicks
Don’t worry, there is plenty of time to do it in HoTM while you wait for your 10 minute queues.
It’s designed this way, that’s why there are traits that allow piercing through targets. Mesmers use their clones all the time to avoid damage, rangers use their pets, as well as MM.
At the end of the day it comes down to the amount of conditions placed on you vs how many cleanses you have available. As far as 1v1 situations and even damage goes, power and condi builds should be just about even. Problem is, its a team game and 2 players putting conditions on you is already more than your cleanse can keep up. Put 5 players on a team, all corrupting boons and all placing every condition on the game to the entire team in seconds and there is nothing you can do. Its not even a proper fight at that point.
I would also like to add that condition builds are more forgiving because you don’t have to constantly be attacking or be within melee range for damage (not all classes but a prime example is power warrior vs condi warrior)
The same holds true if you put two or more power builds on you…
Please answer by which takes more skill
1. Power Mesmer vs Condi Mesmer
2. Power Necro vs Condi Necro
3. Power Thief vs Condi Thief
4. Power warrior vs Condi warrior
5. Power engi vs Condi engi
6. Power Ranger vs Condi ranger
7. Power guardian vs Condi guardian
8. Power Ele vs Condi Ele
9. Power Rev vs Condi RevPretty sure condi wins out being the easiest in just about every case
Wrong, they’re the same.
1. Which one shatters clones for damage? Hmmmm…I wonder how hitting one button is harder than hitting another button based on your stats.
2. Depending on the power variant, you’re hitting 4 buttons for your burst and depending on the condition variant you’re hitting hmmmm…4 buttons.
3. Thief…power 4 button burst, condition thief…4 button burst, I’m finding a pattern here.
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 pretty much the same as 1-3.
The major difference, which has been partially rectified by the removal of Mercenary amulet, was the tankiness and sustain of condition builds. Outside of warrior, condition Mesmer, thief, engi, rev, and necro can all be burst down as easily.
Warrior has to get close, on a Mesmer I can simply sit back from range and spam clones and shatters. The skill ceiling is ridiculously low.
Even with Time Catches Up, that’s a really good way to get your Shatters blocked/evaded. And you probably want to be in melee range anyway to get the additional torment/confusion stacks from you counting as an extra illusion with each shatter, not to mention any additional bleeds from the fairly common Sigil of Geomancy.
You’re just proving his point further. He’s having success w/out knowing the basic mechanics of the class because condi carries less skilled players in its current form
No he’s not. You’re ignoring the fact that his discussion is about ranged vs melee. A ranged power player can do the same exact thing to a melee class.
Tbh, the debate about condition damage vs power damage is rather old. What most posts neglect is the actual amount of damage one attack does.
There are a whole range of attacks that add several conditions and do 5-12k (probably a lot higher) of damage if you don’t cleanse them. This could sort of be okay, if the cooldown of cleanses was similar to that of these skills.
But they are not. And cleanses aren’t focused either. So I just removed blind and torment, but kept the 12 stacks of bleed on me…
The whole problem with conditions is that it takes away control from a lot of players. And yes, (melee) power is a lot harder than condition damage to apply and keep at it..
But sure, keep on being an ostrich..
Three button presses that does 10-12k damage. Condition or power?
You keep making this argument. It’s moot.
For example, on a condi Mesmer vs a warrior.
Warrior has to get close, on a Mesmer I can simply sit back from range and spam clones and shatters. The skill ceiling is ridiculously low.
It’s not moot, you’re only stating that because it doesn’t fit your narrative. A power build can sit back as well and do the same type of damage from ranged. The point I’m addressing is to people, like yourself, who are contending that power builds require more skill and are less cheese. My point is, that both power and condition builds are cheese and easy.

Look, With power damage, you just have to pressure the enemy until they waste dodges, and then to press 2 bottons and relax, your enemy is already dead.
Block, block, block, immune, immune, block, miss, miss + toughness, perhaps invulnerability or teleportation, burst healing…
Should I go on about counters to power damage?Block, block, block, immune, immune, block, miss, miss + vitality, perhaps invulnerability or teleportation, burst healing…
Should i go on about counters to condition damage?
So you say that once you got condis on you, you can block them and make them miss? Have you seen how fat damage those make? Vitality will make you endure 2 seconds longer, invulnerability and teleportation won’t help and burst healing will make you suffer for a little bit longer if you won’t cleanse.
There is only immunity in the form of resistance that is a quite rare boon, not for everyone.
You could say that this is a counter before you get struck with condi spell but such counters are are for power as well. We are talking about condi damage and their application rate overall which will be put on you sooner or later despite trying to block and evade.EDIT:
As for that part with dodge = dodge and evade = ancestral grace
Check this out: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Evade
“Evading can be achieved by a carefully timed dodge an instant before the blow lands”
This means that dodge makes you evade attacks, nuff’ said.
So you are telling me that after you have been burst with power damage that blocks and invulnerabilities goes back in time and stops the damage?
BOTH condition damage and power damage in this game is cheese and easy to apply. People need to stop acting like there is a higher skill to applying one over the other.
I play Warrior and Druid exclusively since GW2 came out.
Last week I geared a Mesmer in condi/perplex gear. I was steamrolling everyone I encountered with ease, simply by mashing buttons, even most 2v1’s were easy. I have to actually pay attention and try on my mains.
Condi application is cheesemode as kitten.
Power application is cheesemode as…
“Hit two buttons and half my health is gone”, that applies to both power and condition builds. I’m sorry, they’re the same amount of “cheese” in this game.
It takes the same amount of button presses to condi-bomb someone as it does to burst them in this game. Don’t fool yourself into believing that power builds require any more skill than condition builds. There is very little skill to either.
Rushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Time for attempt #4! I made some slight adjustments (anim speed, attack radius, increased travel velocity for the small leap at the end) to the skill that should (hopefully) make it land more consistently.
Why not copy the movement of bull’s charge?
Put a delay on the proc and add an animation. You trigger it, you see the animation, and you can choose to dodge.
Honestly, with the abysmal player base I think the system in place is near the best that anet can pull off, and I’m sure they know it. I’m all for people dropping leagues and losing tickets and stuff, but can we really afford that when we need people to grind up leagues, feel good about themselves, and feel a sense of progression?
We might need to tune matchmaking because these “MMR hell” posts show up more and more, and it’s obviously bothering a lot of people. We need to get people that are on maybe a 3+ loss streak to be then given an incredibly easy game with a stacked team of their own maybe.
Who cares if OP is not taking the issue into his own hands by getting better and instead blaming the game? We just need more players to play and are content with their performance. With every post like this, I’m sure hundreds of others are feeling the same and it really is justified from both sides.
Your suggestion is just as bad as her complaining.
Doesn’t have HoT, complains that ranger is weak. Newsflash, most core builds are garbage compared to HoT specs.
Complain? I am saying rangers seem like the weakest class in spvp because I can kill them 98% of the time on my non-HoT builds. Why can I kill rangers so easily while other classes- particularly ele, engi, and condi warrior are virtually gods?
They’re not, you have just had the luxury of fighting very bad ones.
Right…. nearly all the rangers I played against are noobs, the players on the other classes are just pro.
I can set up some time with some good ones if you care to.
I know there are some good players, really good players; but it seems like anyone can be a good player on say condi warrior or hammer engi, but only a few are good at ranger.
I can set you up some matches with some average ones if you want.
I get plenty of practice killing them in spvp …..
Let’s see some of those practices.

… and allow immature people on the forum to troll you and tell you to chop off body parts and all that bs? …
Hi Ellie, I was thinking the same thing.
Some of these people are, probably, those who reached legendary and think they are the only ones entitled to troll others that don’t.
Ithilwen, you have all my support. Just ignore some of them.
Hi Furious, yea I know. They got an easy ride to the top, most of them probably thanks to getting carried by high mmr and a premade team and figure kitten that was easy these noobs just need to kitten and l2p and stop complaining. But yea regardless of what you may or may not think I don’t think that gives anyone the right to troll. I still wanna know whats appealing about the wings though, they look so weird to me.
Those wings ARE weird, I wouldn’t fight or stress for them ever, not to mention the cost.
In my case, it was the challenge to see where I could get solo queuing, not far, obviously, so I’m not playing much, I’m just playing my dailies, but those wings definitely aren’t worth it.
All sour grapes.

You can support her all you want, the reality is she needs to get better.
As to deliberately unfair matchmaking. It’s been repeatedly explained by ANET that teams are stacked in such a way that one is significantly stronger than the other in MMR terms.
In other words, one side is set and expected to win. That’s not fair competition and it never will be. THAT IS NOT LEAGUE PLAY OR COMPETITION, IT IS FAVORITISM PURE AND SIMPLE.
In order to be legitimate, competition has to be fair, not a gimme for one side.
Ok remove safeties if and only if you remove the division crossing requirements. Otherwise, you simply bar the wings to many players including me.
If you can’t complete the requirements, guess what? You don’t deserve the wings.
ITT: Proof that we need to pull out all the stops even from Amber -> Ruby, so players like OP will stay where they belong, in amber, and face other opponents of their level in amber.
No more safe pips, no more safe tiers, no more safe divisions.
I would support this.
The trait is actually working as intended (25% chance to apply torment), but the tooltip is incredibly inaccurate.
That said, I don’t think it’s GM worthy with a 15s ICD. How does 10s sound?
That’s such a line right here…How does the trait vs the tooltip have such a large disparity? Easy, you guys cannot fix the trait and now you’re trying to pull the old, “working as intended” card.
As a player, who has also played since beta, I say no. Simply to cancel out his “playing since beta” vote.
I’m tired of constantly encountering disgusting players with obnoxious comments for whatever reason in spvp. Can Anet plz make it so that there is no map chat in pvp matches as well as make the enemy team (and possibly your team) names hidden? So whispering isn’t possible.
You have this option yourself.
So what is the build? its not on metabattle. And I’ve heard conflicting information, some saying staff, some saying double daggers, and some saying conditions.
Traits too would be nice.
There’s a few variations of the build. I’m not big on the d/d version, it takes too long to kill someone with it. The other versions, are far and away much stronger and can fill the role of d/p power thief. It’s overall, at least to me, a stronger build. Plus it has some extremely favorable 1 v 1 match ups.
Yeah, because that totally didn’t happen with core builds.
Lol. Hilarious.
It’s condition damage across the board. Not the classes.
It’s the durability of certain professions that can apply those conditions. When you have high sustain/toughness AND huge condition damage it becomes what it is today.
Major toughness and condition damage should not be on any amulet. If condition bombing does as much burst as power burst then condition based professions should be susceptible to power burst as well. They should not be able to have such durability with so much damage. Carrion is the perfect trade off for condition builds and should be the standard to build around.
It’s only a matter of time before it is posted on there. There’s a reason these builds become meta.
