Guild Wars 2

Or maybe just don’t let people lose to get rewards. Whoever’s idea it was to reward losing needs a reality check and to never touch PvP rewards again.

We all are winners, there is no losing or winning, it is just about fun! Don’t forget it doesn#t matter who wins [/hippytalk]

Just dodge moa

Just a short question, are there any maps you got a higher win/lose ratio?

For example, Skyhammer, i played it a lot and lost it just two times (mesmer)

Any of you got similar experienceß A map you win 95% of the time, just because you feel at home on that map?

At the beginn of a season i see no problem, but after the first week passed, the q time would rise and the quallity of teammates drop – since most true pvp player get their initial games in the first week.

You would most likely end up with pve players that just heard about easy ascendent armor

You should buy a 19 button gaming mouse, makes everything much easier.

Where can i get them?

So you want 10 people without rating fight against eatch other because there will be no noobs?

chibi.2537:

I don’t think its necessary, but wouldn’t mind if they made them vulnerable to fire. Bleeding or poison on wooden gates would be ridiculous. But then again you can bleed pretty much any mob so why not doors?

If sylvari bleed, wood can bleed as well! (I hope thry aren’t made from any plant i know..)

Luckily Anet managed class stacking with the introducion of solo q in a very easy and elegant way

If mesmer is as broken, why aren’t there way more mesmer?

Don’t worry, if you aren’t placed in bronce, you won’t have to deal with them – ofcourse you should win most placement games if you want to be placed outside of bronce

Sooloo.1364:

You didn’t win, appears they reached 500, milliseconds before you did as youre both over. No other explanation

Have you ever played a pvp and go above 500 , do you know what that even mean’s?Pls next time before you write comment at least have some knowledge about the topic.We both reach 500 in same time , so game give us first 4 sec than 8 and at the end 12 sec to finish a match and to deside who is winner of the match.At the end of the every match game tell’s you who won the match , in this case game tell’s us Red is a winner.After that we lose point’s and got dishonor + we lose 13 point’s.

Yes, and the game ended – additional personal score became the tie breaker, seems like this is a new feature and therefore buggy

There is a threshold – bronce

Crinn.7864:

They should replace the lords with veteran pocket raptor mob packs.

No! No..no no no no!!!

MissCee.1295:

What you are asking for, is in essence, for a secondary map mechanic to require team effort. How will we change the treb on Kyhlo or Skyhammer so they require more than one player?

One player reloads the treb and the other shoots

And 3 seperate points at skyhammer, one forclose one for far and one for mid!

Remove class stacking – or bring it back – but do one of those

I got an idea, we need a gold or above guy that fights against OP in hotjoin, best would be if both play the same class – after that fight, it should show us the truth

And pleace someone record a video and show it here

ROFL why I would be in hotjoin

For duelling a gold+ player and showing us how good you are?

Ofcourse only in the case you don’t belong to bronce, like me…

It just uses wins/losses and by how better/worse the other team was you won/lost against. It doesn’t factor in your tops stats at all, if it’s not immediately obvious to out why that’s not a good idea then you’ll have a very hard time trying to understand it.

In case that’s true, you will never beat the system, since i always lost/gained the same amount of points

What do you mean, “in case”? It literally is true, that’s how the glicko algorithm works. Read up on it if you don’t know how it works. And on how to improve if you want a higher rating. I’d feel you have a much better time if you didn’t blame the system and looked to yourself.

Personaly i don’t care, i have fun on the games and that’s all that matters, but i read a few on the forum who claimed to check the stats, and saw no difference (no idea if that is true?) and i just saw my stats permanently drop/rise for 10-15, never more or less.

It is just odd that not one better rated team lost, because of class stacking/afk/bad day etc – may it be on my side or the enemy one

I like that idea, mesmer (me) runs in there, opens portal, 4 trappervstand next to me, port out, go far/close and they just kill the enemy off one by one

It would be better at the end of the match, otherwise it could have some odd psychological effects…

-nah we are supposed to lose we can’t win
-yeah we are supposed to win it will be an easy game

And if the first fight is done how the game predicted it, the risk would be high of AFK players

But at the end of the game, no problem

Tomiyou.3790:

I love this map It plays pretty good imo, it’s just that noobies don’t understand that winning mid is not everything.

Only annoying thing is that you have to walk a long way if you accidentally fall down the hole between mid and the side points.

Not as mesmer, blink at the top and you are on the other side, might work with other teleport skills as well?

We should remove forest! The last attack/tick get’s the kill for the creatures? Way to random! Something like that doesn’t belong in ranked!

Interesting idea (old idea?) that traps can’t be used in combat, i like

Don’t worry, your mmr ponts aren’t wasted, the other team should have gained all of them

After many players complain about wrong ranked players and equaly much players defending the system

I wonder, does someone know how much games need to be lost (not one single win) to drop from gold into silver?

Honest John.4673:

It works itself out. If you’ve got people placed in Gold 3 with for real no skill they’ll probably tend to lose their matches against players with real Gold 3 level skill, right? If they continually lose those matches, what do you know, their MMR goes down and they drop lower.

Your mmr is to low? You need to carry!

Your mmr is to high, you will lose

Yeah, not sure if those contradict each other since there are 5 persons in a team

But i am nosy, how much games would it need in gold to drop into silver? Not one single win?

The skin is pvp limited, but you asked for ascended armor

Blockhead Magee.3092:

The last chest is repeatable – I assume it gives more shards, so nobody if forced to wait for the next season.

No it doesn’t, same with the llama – but the goldreward is repeatable, therefore you could just buy the stuff for the missing pieces and craft it…

He want’s more shards because he can’t wait for season 2

shion.2084:

Yeah but then everyone would queue with a less used class, and swap to the stacking class they wanted to play. Because you’d queue faster if you were a less popular class and class stacking restricitions were implemented. You’d also have to remove class swapping.

I doupt it would happen in as large numbers, and the ques should be just slightly longer for overused classes (except a class is compleatly broken)

But there is just one way to find out

…besides most don’t class swap at all

Queeing solo works nearly instandly, the few (not much) duo q lasted a bit longer, but still fast

But i would gladly wait 5 min if that means no class stacking (besides now we can wait on maps – therefore no problem waiting)

I main mesmer and play it well – i can switch to ele and faceroll and do… not as bad …. but my ele play is defendly on a lower skill as my mesmer.

And last season i played a lot warrior at bottom ruby, it destroyed my mmr – now you suggest that people switch to something they can’t play at a competetive level? Great idea…

Anyone else noticing profession stacking upwards of two to three of the same profession in their Ranked Teams? They always seem to correspond to the daily achievements. In general, class stacking is an annoying issue when you get tons of powerhouse builds running duplicates. Could Arenanet even fix an issue like this?

question what does class stacking have to do with dailys?

Nothing, since 4 out of 9 are always daily, that’s nearly half of them…

i thought it was common knowledge to do pvp daily’s in unranked unless its your main pvp class you play with

That’s a good one x’D

I use my ele facerolling most of the time, and that works suprisingly well – yet they should be buffed instead of nerfed?

Yes we hated it before ranked, i really hated it with all my heart

But after playing it in ranked instead of unranked, i love it as much as i hated it!

Those are the maps you need to embrace your inner troll and help the enemy, because revange tastes best with a grain of salt

Yasi.9065:

If you want matchmaker to prevent profession stacking, then you can only have one build per profession. Its that simple. Its either “byebye build diversity” or profession stacking.

Tiefsee.3647:

Can’t wait for the next person complaining they don’t belong in their placement and seen after that some statistics and hard numbers! I need a stach of popcorn!

I fail to see the interesting part in those statistics. Interesting would have been seeing the MMR of Links’ teammates and of the enemy team of the matches he lost. Not just a vague “might have had a bad day” conclusion.

Id have been really impressed by some in-depth evaluation, but I gave up on that after season1, when all we got was some percentage numbers without the data behind it.

So yeah, fail to see the interesting part worth popcorn.

Sure, more dates meanmore fun – but at some dates give some fun

Also all those games are on thief, maybe you could switch up your play a bit and then come back to thief.

This is just straight out insulting. It is your very balancing team that brought classes to the state that thief can’t do much w/o decent team not to mention class stacking leads to every team having 2-4 DHs/wars. Why should players be punished for poor decisions made by developers?

While i see class stacking as a gigantic issue, at the Moment DH, Reaper and Berserker are in so many matches because almost every player plays them.
This wouldn’t be solved with class stacking removed though.
If 10 players are in a queue and 8 out of those 10 play DH, what would removing class stacking solve in that scenario?

And again, this is not against removing class stacking, i would love that, but at the same time we need a gigantic balance patch to rework and rebalance a lot of things for the core classes, the elite specs, a lot of weapon skills etc.
And then if and when we see a more diverse spread of classes played we actually can remove class stacking.

It would result in a longer q for those clases and therefore allow other classes a faster q.

This rises the total number of other classes, because they can play more games in the same time.

At the same time it makes overpowered classes managable – because there is just one

Evan Lesh.3295:

Of your 132 post placement matches, you peaked at 1413, bottomed at 1140, and have a win/loss of 63/69. Your longest losing streak is 9 games after a dense set of wins. I’m not seeing anything wrong with this. Perhaps you’re just having an off day.

I understand the hyperbole because you’re likely frustrated, but it doesn’t help when discussing feedback for leagues.

Can’t wait for the next person complaining they don’t belong in their placement and seen after that some statistics and hard numbers! I need a stach of popcorn!

You forgot to take weapons into account – and i’d say it is intentionall for luring in those PvE for the next season

As mesmer i love those empty spaces, great for walking and escaping by blinking at the top floor

As ele i love them if downed, jump down there and either stand up again or lure an enemy away from the point

When the game set me up against a class stacked party. And i know the end of the game before it even starts

SaltAndLight.4652:

It has a range of 6000, so that is going to be one big dome. I would rather see the color of the Portal Exeunt skill icon turn a dull gray or something when you are out of range.

You are pretty much safe portaling between home and mid or mid and far on most maps.

This is something you have to learn from experience on each map, almost like where you can Blink and Phase Retreat to.

PS – allowing opponents to use your portal is a horrible idea. Get your own mesmer.

Sure it would be big, thats why it would look more like a wall and only the mesmer should see it – others would be more irritated about something like that as it could help them – but it would be an easy solution that looks nice

After my last match, could someone tell me if it would be a good idea to get an guardian as PvP character? Somehow i feel like it is a popular choice (see screenshot)

Just wished necros and DH’s stopped putting their traps atop my portals.

Don’t place your portal as obvious, there are places to hide the portals on nearly all maps, best so far – skyhammer – jump up

You’re assuming I don’t already. x_x;;

Open it, jump in – jump back – wait 5 sec jump in – trabs shouldn’t be as dangerous anymore – or if you are infight before you jump, F4

Just play and try to improve (watch one or two videos of thiefs in pvp) – if you suck at it, the game will give you (most of the time) teammates and opponents that suck at it as well
