Guild Wars 2

Ruby tier 6 is the magic tier?

I hit tier 6 and out of my last 10 games 6 of those were against 4-5 man premades.

Sorel.4870:

Drop the tinfoil hats boys.

So you can put yours on?

We can do hot join if soloq is ‘broken’ and will be fixed this way (ahem).

Clearly the only ones benefiting now are coordinated team who use smurfs for quick wins, oh sorry reduce queue times. Stomping someone is better than waiting for a decent game after all.

Lexander.4579:

Anet is still tryharding to get their game into a cesspool known as esports and playing with your own team is a foundation of every esport game

so logically they will continue to allow full premades to kitten all over soloq since that is oh so fun for the premades

^ what he said

I’d rather stay in queue and do something else while i wait, then get forced into a ridiculously biased match that wastes my time.

Better yet, give me a toggle, do you wish to fight against permades? No.

Such a blow out match, what a joke.

Not exactly what the OP intended but still:

I know its bad luck but……

When you get stuck inside an object, can we have a way to exit the object?

As it stands you have to log off completely (If you attempt to go back to character select it prompts you with a message saying you’ll be dishonored).

Not just cause hes in legendary.

He also got to Legendary only by the hell that is soloq.

Additionally, when he got to legendary, he decided to go for the meta achivements (for wings). So started playing other classes he had no idea how to play in Legendary which is kinda legendary (unless he was in your team I guess).

Leeto is a Legend.

Israel.7056:

I personally care less about assigning blame than I do fixing the problem.

Goodluck fixing.

You won’t get soloQ back, ANet would be admitting they made a mistake. No they’ll just continue on as is and at end of League post a ‘success’ blog.

Internally after that I hope they just give up on this e-sport dream. Focus on good content for PvP, balance etc. and use the 1/2 million saved to resuscitate WvW.

Spartacus.3192:

That was my point…..The current league system doesn’t cater for the masses which is really casual players……its too easy for the more active Pvp’ers to manipulate MMR/team comp etc to farm solo q pugs. If you now made it so those poor souls also lost pips and tiers, very quickly there would be no fodder for the Ruby-Diamond players.

Say hello super long Q times

Just sticky this.

The classic 4v5 moment was when Helseth lost 2 pips, when it was 4v5 AGAINST, that he WON.

GG Anet GG

Esonver.8470:

Oops .

Its fair enough to bring it up again because the search feature for this forum blows.

Forestgreen.7981:

A-Net will just sweep it under the rug and hope people forget.

Can’t wait for their ‘League is a success’ post, under the news section in January -.-

Valkyriez.6578:

This would completely invalidate the division structure

True. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe this was the issue with similar seasonal PvP activities that ArenaNet has set up in the past.

The people top of the leaderboards were those that simply played more games, rather than those who were actually good at PvP.

ReaperJr.5967:

either switch or ask your team mates to switch classes.

I don’t disagree as such, but in soloq even trying to get your team mates to communicate home/mid can be a chore at times.

I’m curious if this was something you acted on regularly or was it more a case of you see 4 DH in your team and ask if they can switch?

Just logged in to say this is still a problem.

I was able to enter because the server i guested to already had it open.

Previouly I spent awhile doing laps, landing on the platform again and again in an attempt to make the elemental’s pop to no avail. I finally capped the Mastery point by not fighting any elemental’s all -.-

PS I was kicked out of the MP area, while i typed this when the wall reappeared. I then attempted to trigger the elemental’s to no avail. I think this bugs because people afk in the room and are then auto kicked outside to the platform.

Given most of us use dulfy and this is the last room on the list I guarantee you many people afk in the room.

GG Anet.

Dagins.5163:

@SoPP.7034
Banning smurfs would create more problems, what would be even worse. Pretty much nothing can be done here, so…

Do nothing, say nothing because of reasons. That’s your take home message.

Dagins.5163:

Unless these noobs are smurfs

Which is getting back to the OP.

‘Nothing wrong here, move along’.

GG genius.

Dagins.5163:

Nothing wrong here, move along.

GG.

Probably why the games in the state its in, ‘nothings wrong’.

DaShi.1368:

Anet drops the ball again. Who’s surprised?

SlayerSixx.5763:

I haven’t played since leagues dropped

Stopped reading after this.

OP has a valid point, irrespective of who won the game.

aggelos r.5387:

they lost the game

So?

zxstanyxz.8769:

your team probably had higher mmr’s than their team so it was expected to bea close game

lol stop making excuses, that’s an assumption.

Sigil’s/runes that don’t work properly, meta events that bug out. But hey, MMR is perfect -.-

I do enjoy me some stronghold. I’m pretty upset my lockdown mesmer build is useless in Conquest so it was nice for it to still be viable in SH.

Having said that I think because there is wiggle room for builds and abilities people gravitate towards SH to practice a profession/personal pride/ignorance of their own ability etc.

To quote someone from one of my games who commented on a ranger who absolutely failed on defense “How do you expect to be useful on a 2yo ranger build”.

I don’t know if it was 2yo, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

I would have agreed with you until I hit tier 3 of Sapphire and BOOM been on a disaster train since. Something similar happened to me in Emerald where I had a string of bad games around tier 2.

While going higher levels may offload some of the useless players. You can’t ever get away from Anet’s match making. They still manage to find bad players for you.

The genius that is MMR in Leagues, I guess it means its lining up some win streaks for me soon -.-

Same thing happen to me on ele. I just had to log out and log back in to avoid dishonor.

They should stop trying to professionalize PvP in GW2, its just a joke. This is yet another example, in amongst many as to why they should stop.

Instead of giving half a million to pro PvP farmers, use that to develop PvP so its fun for people.

Novuake.2691:

The other alternatives are dishonest and literally is something I (and im sure many others) are unwilling to do.

Isn’t that the irony of the position that ANet has put us into. That were punished for playing the game honestly.

I ended up in MMR Hell for awhile around mid Emerald. At this time I saw Helseth also stuck in MMR Hell, in the exact same tier. Finally he lost 2 pips because he WON a 4v5 AGAINST before calling it a day.

At that point I questioned literally the entire League system. I mean if Helseth can’t progress past Emerald, what chance do I have? A lot has happened since then, but its pretty clear that if your a veteran playing Leagues honestly, your doing something wrong and that’s something you NEVER want to encourage from your player base.

Anet really dropped the ball.

Helseth is diamond now

Mmmhhhhhmmmmm, hence the ‘a lot has happened since then’. Now explain to us the after match report :-)

Faux Play.6104:

His alt account is an outlier because most people with a low number of PvP matches don’t have the skills of an experienced player.

That’s an assumption.

Additionally people can be veteran PvE players or WvW players who dable in PvP, but have hit it up hardcore since Leagues come out. Perhaps they haven’t played PvP in a long time and their MMR dropped, but they’re good players.

I’d actually argue that your assumption is why we have some of the current problems in the first place.

sanctuary.1068:

“The reality of league divisions” is SO wrong. The fact that people face their own mmr in the leagues makes it harder or easier for different mmr groups to raise their division. Only people that matter rly to look at where they stand is top tier aka high mmr players. In every mmr besides top tier, is a joke where they can get to ruby without an effort. If i actually continued with this league kittenz id be in ruby with just enough grind >.>

Thats why not many of us can take this thing serious. If the leagues had started with mmr reset people would actually take it seriously + if soloq was implemented.

^ This man totally gets it.

Anet created a monster.

Lol just lol.

‘Its how it’s supposed to work’

No it’s anet failing to imagine and encouraging behaviour counter to what pvp should be about (tanking).

TPMN.1483:

The system is so broken

I feel like I’m stuck in mmr hell.

displacedTitan.6897:

Also using any Ultra High MMR player to base conclusions on is kind of stupid

And yet he spent 5 hrs floundering in emerald, despite being a pro. Tia has a point, it may not be overly complicated but she has a point. Your rationalization of why it’s acceptable is kind of stupid.

Anyone with coding exp have an opinion?

I see what your saying, but I feel your more or less guessing. Can’t the source code be compared to .exe you download?

that baby stealing dingo.7216:

Or farm karma in Edge of the Mists

I haven’t been there in awhile but read that experience was nerfed there, wasn’t karma to? About the only thing I’m sure of is that wxp is still gained there.

There is a source code provided at the website. People have used these source codes to review other software that might be questionable. I assume the same applies here.

http://loginwars2.kasoki.de/

It’s a software program that lets you run multiple different accounts off the same computer. This is fine, Anet have stated that provided you play the games individually without using macros etc to assist you can use such a program.

However, what I’m hoping is can someone with the smarts can give the code for this a once over? It asks you to enter your e-mail and password into it to open up multiple accounts, which, as you might imagine, makes me REALLY uncomfortable.

Is it safe?

Trying this…. again. Didn’t get it….. again.

Interestingly my friend DID get it, with the only difference being I got downed once (not dead). So have to try it….. again.

%$#@ you anet.

EDIT: FINALLY did it, didn’t get downed, that’s what held me up.

FYI the Lfg UI is horribly cluttered atm, with all the new content that ends up in ‘open world’.

ANET need to fix this because the spam in map chat is due to the spam in LFG.

Random.4691:

They had it in GW1 for the cities/hubs they were called districts. You could use the drop down and select the district you wanted to be in/join.

That makes to much sense.

Has there been any feedback from Anet about this bug?

Anyone have any solutions that work, other than ‘kill everything, don’t get hit’?

I got my friend to clear the way ahead for me then I just walked up but still, no….

EDIT: Just read that you can’t die either during the instance because it might bug, I’ll have to try again later.

BrotherBelial.3094:

if you are talking about the LS, you have to buy that on top

What? You didn’t have to buy it, it was free unless you failed to spend 30 secs to log on.

Remove premades playing against solo players, that’ll stop the leavers <.<

smekras.8203:

As usual, he assumes several things that have no grounding on what actually happens in game

So, you assume it does? -.-

Every now and then they have sales on keys. I like this time.

When I buy the keys it reminds me of why I shouldn’t.

I wish they’d revisit armour and overhaul the process to generate them so they can produce armour sets easier making our fashion wars more customizable. Outfits for me have hit a saturation point, I don’t really feel compelled to buy any of the newer ones.

On a further note I’m absolutely sick of trench coat, long dresses, material that flaps behind your character and covers their legs. Overhaul the process you use to address clipping to so that you can make more knee length dresses, shorts etc.

Seigfried.5938:

Dungeons were my main source of income

Sieg, you don’t WvW anymore? Since when were you so preoccupied with gold.

This is hilarious.

THE game mode it would be useful but you don’t want it to crossover.

I keep trying to type this post but just find myself resorting to expletives.

This decision needs to be remedied immediately.

Muchacho.2390:

But apperantly the uplifts sometimes bug out and dont wokr like some of the jumping mushrooms.

I enjoyed the fight but MY GOD the bugs were frustrating.
