Guild Wars 2

that’s not right, its information about us, why can’t we see it? That would be like a Doctor not letting us see our patient records, and that would be illegal, withholding information that is ours.

So the only way to get better MMR is to not play right now?! that’s madness. is MMR ever cleared? like a fresh start? its sounds like they are forcing the responsibility of the other 4 people of team actions on to me. solo queuing I don’t know them, I have no say how they play, why am I punished for their indiscretions? if I was on a premade team, that would be fair enough, but not solo.

Can someone please clear this up for me because it’s confusing as hell, and a lack of understand just makes people angry, as we have been seeing in a lot of posts in the forums, myself included. Someone from Anet performable, as I have read so much hear say and gossip I don’t know what to believe anymore. just some simple questions that I’m sure a lot of people want answers too.

1) What is MMR? and can I see my MMR how is it generated?

2) how are players matched up? on my team and vs the other team.

3) am I hurting my chances of getting “good” people on my team in the future if I’m
losing almost every game right now? ( it’s not my fault really)

ok… what is wrong with this picture? maybe if I was in t5 amber I would expect this, but not t4

finally got to tire 3 in amber and the games are getting more even. The first 2 are just a cluster kitten

ok, you people that say we are below average players or just “get good.” your wrong, it should not matter. I’m not changing my mind, there is still something very wrong. and there is no way I’m getting matched up with other people that are at my skill level. be that good or bad, the games should be close, not 1 sided landslides 20 times in a row.

I solo queue 100% I’m never in a party. there is something to be said for bringing back a solo only queue. If you team up with 2 or 4 friends, yes might be better as a team. so you should be fighting another teamed up group.

I post this somewhere else too, but is it so hard to Anet to make teams fair? i.e 2vs2 3vs3 4vs4 and 5vs5 with the odd solo making up the odds. not put a 2 and 3 on one team and have 5 solos on the other.

I did finally win one last night and it was a good close game. unlike most of my others with someone afk, someone cussing everyone on the team chat or just having no clue.

But there is still something wrong…. don’t they take into account how many pips you got last season? or anything?!

Locuz.2651:

This is what ppl have been asking for. A full reset after the season. And with the removal of mmr it really is a full reset leading to lobsided matches each and every game.

If youre below average like op you will lose a lot the first few days. But it will improve every week.

I wouldn’t say I’m below average. true I’m not super great either, I run with a 230 ping handicap, but tactics I would say I’m pretty good. I’m just always fighting the cream of the cream. or the rest of my team is always the cheese….

tried 5 more game.. the same, though one was at least a little close. 30 loses. I’m getting to the point I could kill someone, if a door knocking sale guys come to my door right now….. man will they be picking the wrong door.

Anet just WHAT THE kitten HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!!?? am i on some black list? destine to fight legendary tiers even though i don’t have even 1 pip or tire to my name.

come on, I dare you, someone on your team look up my name and account and look at my amazing losing streak and tell how this is possible? just wth is going on?!

no I’m not afk, and I do rank well with in my team. Was in ruby last season. I have 0 pips but it feels like I’m playing in the top league or something.. well the other team is, not mine.

that’s it I quit. something is very wrong, 25 loses in a row. and I’m not lying. Even on a bad day I have never, ever had that much, maybe 10, but not 25. what have they done to this matchmaking system?! I’m just solo queuing.

it’s a joke, I have no won a game all day, I’m always with pugs and always fighting guilds groups of 2, 3 or 4.

should it not be 2vs2, 3vs3, 4vs4, 5vs5 with pugs making up the odd numbers? why is that so hard to do?!

This is sill not fix in the new update. please let me use Facets when I come out of the water, and not have to change legendry stance to make them work again.

I would say reverent too. But it depends a lot on what armour you go with, well not for PvP that’s easy to change. unless you’re the type that has all the different types of armour, then any class it wont matter.

thanks guys there are truly some good ideas to some of my questions here. some I might even implement myself. cheers

I’m just going to list some questions I have in the hope that some people might know of good solutions to them.

1) Inactivity – do you kick them or keep them on? I’m talking over 3 months inactive and roster space is not the problem.

2) The Zero contributors – They hardly ever represent or help the guild in anyway, but they might still be a friend of someone else in the guild.

3)The off lines (invisible) – they seem to always be set to invisible, you know they have been online as you can tell when they last logged in, but they are never “online”

4) “guild chat?! what’s that?” people that just ignore anything in guild chat and never respond or might once in a blue moon when it suites them.

Before we launch we’ll be covering a lot more in depth info on guild halls and guild progression, including a number of details we haven’t announced yet. Hang tight – your answers will come then!

I feel kinda screwed by Anet. “You have to buy HOT to see what is in HOT”
We are a tiny 3 person guild (since GW1) and just can not earn favor.

3!? then you have enough. the guild I’m in started with a few, capped a guild hall, now no one gets on. but even by myself just 1, I can get about 300 to 1000 favor a week, depending on what missions show up. Wish I had 2 other friends.

I know this might be at my end too so not sure, but in the last 2 days I have been getting heaps of it. but I have hardly, if ever had it before. screen freeze lag as in for a second or two ,nothing moves, then everything will catch up once it comes back. very hard to play with in WvW and PvP as alot can move and change in just a second or 2.

i did find a cat on a statue in the new WvW map

yeah I want to see them added to the game too, they have then made, what are they waiting for? I want to pick what one I want to go for and go for it! but this drip feeding is just putting me off Guild wars.

I have this problem mostly in WvW on EBL. When I jump into water with my Herald facets up, when I come out of the water again them keep shutting off. To fix it I have to change legendry stance.

This can be a nightmare in big fights, as sometimes you’re in and out of the water a lot and I have to change stance just to get my skills again, crippling me in the fight because of the cool down on changing stances.

and any word on when we might get the other 5 water skills?

A kiwi here so about that same ping as you, I’ve played it all, and it don’t matter what you play, when the game gets frantic and you wait stuff to work you’ll be wanting to smash your screen no matter what class you play. It becomes a sick sadistic joke. I can use skills at my end, I see then work and go off, yet, I still die, skills that would save my life. it’s like someone nailing your feet to the floor and saying, now run over there before I drive this steamroller over you.

if you can deal with that great, or just take it is small bits. PvE is generally fine, and dying is not that big a deal, WvW and PvP can get.. I’ll say, frustrating at times.

on the plus side, you know your play with a -180ping handicap. that’s got to count for something right …..

not letting this die, Anets needs to read this and fix it or 2016 will be known as the death of GW2, as far was PvP goes. I did love this game, I don’t want to see it put out to seed, or butchered to death.

Totaly!! I am the angriest I have ever been in my life playing PvP right now. It is broken beyond belief. And I refuse to play the cheap kittening meta builds that everyone else runs because I have standard. Its broken! I’m not interested in killing DHs, I want to stand on the control point, but I cant without dying because of the traps. If I didn’t “have to” stand there it would be fine.

They need moving control points or something. right now that style of play is way to over powered because of the point system. sorry to say this but, Anet for kitten sacks fix this kittening piece of kitten game play so I can play for fun again and not hate everything and everyone, your game is destroying my mental well being. If I was not in a guild I would have given this up as soon as HoT came out.

This sounds no different to GW1 and waiting for GvG games back in the day. guess it’s just the price you pay for being good at something. Almost like real world sports. the casuals play every weekend, the pros only a few big games a year.

kmark.8519’s options is a good middle ground though.

ah, well I think that needs fixing

So we got the magic find aura and claimed a camp, but, nothing!? is it bugged or do you have to have it claimed for hours or something.

When are we getting them?

In HoT it’s not that big a deal, but in the core game, and some fractal maps, and other odd parts of WvW as a reverent I just hope I can kill stuff before it kill me, as I cant heal or use any of the 5 skills every other class has.

Only half azsed work around is to pop your herald stuff before getting into the water and hope for the best.

yip, would be nice.

“Avoid traps” achievement in HoT act 2 is bugged, I did it perfect, never hit a tap, but never got the achievement. or else the description is missing something.

ok, necros and minions should share health, i.e, you damage a minion, 20% of the damage should go to the necro too.

Guardians cant overlap their traps, i.e stack all in the 1 spot. this should go for mes and rangers too

eles need a big change to their auras, their times need to be cut down, or the skills that grant them need changing.

Yes this is a cry cry topic. But kitten it, PvP is a joke. Eles are immune to everything. Necros with minions might as well be a party of 5 by themselves. Guardian trappers are like a plague. And healing rangers can’t be put down unless they are well outnumbered. What’s worse is unless you’re jump on the bandwagon you don’t stand a chance. build diversity? not if you want to win, you have to ran the same cheap crap just to keep up.

Please, Fix this. GW1, that was balanced with build diversity.

this… this is just a rat race where the dirtiest biggest rats eats all the rest.

It’s not a punishment, it’s a reward. Some people are just selfish and like to let others do the work, they can’t help it. This rule might help them in becoming better people.

It’s no different to real life, VIP passes and so on. it’s just another tool for guilds, they don’t have to use it.

+1, sick of this bug too

Love the new guild system, and the upgrades, however I think there is just one more rank rule that I think would help.

“Can use general Guild hall Upgrades”

A pretty simple one. Reason for it: I don’t know about other guild halls, but in our one there are a lot of “free riders” people that like to use the guild hall and the big benefits that come with it, like merchant NPC, repair and personal bank via scribe upgrade. But they contribute 0 to the guild in resources/help. With this rule we could move people into a rank, that have been seen to help with the creation of the guild, and so get rewarded for it.

It may also motivate others that don’t help, and wait to use the benefits that a guild hall can bring, into helping.

was hopeful when I heard there was an update patch, but no…..

I agree, a response would be nice. it’s almost like they have their head in the sand about it. A simple “we know about it and are working hard to fix it” but ….. nothing.

got 3

1) I keep getting two lots of music playing, in the older maps, 1 is the original, the other is a slower one that I think is for HoT, but I get both.

2) not getting map rewards on the new HoT maps for 100% mapping, this is the bigger downer, as I need them for other stuff.

3) Facets randomly go off on reverent

yeah, same… the Facets can come off randomly, can be a real pain. never had this problem until the most recent patch’s

there is also so no HOPE .vol 1 book, I thought we could start it? “3 legendry’s at launch” more lies?

same problem for me, and I needed for a collection.

I totally agree. THEY SHOULD LEAVE IT AS IT IS. just because a few people kick up a stink they change it? what about all the people that were just happily playing the game. grow some balls Aent. You’ll lose my respect doing this change.

NO!, I’m not letting this slide in to nowhere land. Where is it?

I think people are just being a bit over the top. So on the BWE we got it handed to us on a plate, did not have to do a thing for the Elite specs. Now we do in the full game. Get over it. I already have Full 100% on both Mes and now Reverent, in less than 4 days. When GW2 first came out it took me longer than that just to get one to 100%. Give it time, Mastery is the only thing that really slows you down, and it only has to be done once.

I would be disappoint if Anet changed it, it’s meant to be endgame.

??? where is it, and how do you get it?

“Closest enemy player target” simple

It’s a nice thing, for a select few. But it’s also a bit of a joke. I might be as skilled as some of the best, but I never will look it because I live on the other side of the world of the servers. So that half a second lag is always going to be a huge handicap for me. Unless it’s played on a LAN it will never be fair.

This should get an answer that is not all guess work. we’re less than 2 weeks out and hero points are going to be critical in using the new specialization. People could save themselves a lot of pain on day one if they knew the answer to this simple question now.

Answering how mean hero points are needed for the new specs would be better but I would be happy knowing just this one.

in all the BWEs i have run reverent with Celestial armour, but more power based trinkets/weapons, and have really liked it. i think it works well. and that is with ascended gear too, as I have already made the sets myself. Though Celestial ascended would be the most time consuming set to make.

i think it fits for reverent as he can do a bit of everything, and I’m not one to carry 3 to 4 sets of armour around with me, I’m a 1 set and that’s it.
