ye we all know they suck in organized team q, point is there’s no organized team q.

They’re lame and not fun, they’re also too effective for the % of brain needed to use them.

Okplsthx

Your main problem is that you appear to have difficulty comprehending the difference between objective fact and subjective opinion. Nothing is definitively bad simply because you say it is.

Why would you nerf turrets, when they are not over powered? We nerf skills and utilities because some random player “doesn’t feel they are fun” now?

So no nerf needed because some other even more random player saying it’s ok….looks legit

Ah, the old, I have no evidence or support for my argument, so I will accuse you of making statements you didn’t say trick. You must be a hit at parties……………Please quote the section in which I stated “it’s okay” or “no nerf needed”. I am fairly certain I made no actual opinion about turrets at all. I do appreciate you supporting my argument, by replying as you did though, thank you.

Mrbig.8019:

If diversity= afk brain while being a very strong 1vs1 point holder

then kitten build diversity, no one wants this kind of “build diversity” aside terribads.

Do you have evidence to support this? A video of you defeating a skilled player with them? Or are you complaining because you lack the skill to defeat what you consider a lesser player, with them?

You may dishonestly claim no one want that build diversity. You may dishonestly claim to speak for the community with your poor wording, but regardless, you should stick to speaking for just yourself. I assure you, I can show you a great deal of post and threads that disagree with you. Many many players asked for turrets to have value. Now they do.

CutePicsHunter.7430:

I have to remind that instant death from falling at skyhammer is a good example of bad game design.

You mean that “you” feel it is bad design. Because it certainly is not bad design in my opinion. It adds a fun dynamic to the map as I see it.

Your main problem is that you appear to have difficulty comprehending the difference between objective fact and subjective opinion. Nothing is definitively bad simply because you say it is.

Artemis Thuras.8795:

We get told about “challenging content”, then get shown an “adventure” where we spam 1?

This is meant to be challenging?
What.. we’re going to competitively spam 1 for leaderboards?

Says a lot about what anet thinks of its playerbase.

Pretty underwhelmed so far.

Show me the video of you playing it please……………..As well, show us where we spammed 1. Personally, I feel you posting claims with no experience, and making blind accusations about a fight that you haven’t seen, is more of a negative demonstration of the player base, then anything they will ever do.

They show what a fight looks like. Not the mechanics of the fights themselves.

Rezzet.3614:

I understand expansions are paid but there are some things that were promised to us years ago and now i see they ve been advertised all over the HoT discussions and previews such as Precursor crafting and new legendaries

Personally i will buy the expansion i just want to simply know how much exactly will be exclusive to the expansion and how far the gap between free players and those that buy the expansion is

In my experience based on other MMOs, there will be virtually no gap. I would like to see what you are “claiming” that they promised. I have followed the developers post and comments since release. I have yet to see them “promise” anything. They have suggested that some things were not off the table, that they were looking into something, that they would discuss something, but never promised anything.

Rezzet.3614:

the way i see it the fact that there will be an expansion is all the more reason free players should get an incentive to not get left way far behind and thus things like precursor crafting is a blow between the legs with a warhammer specially as its been promised since before Ascended weapons and maybe even fractals came out to begin with

I would like to see you provide a link to anything that suggest they “promised” anything. You are simply being dishonest.

Rezzet.3614:

theres no excuse to neglect non expansion buyers from having Basic features the whole new profession and legendary skins and maps etc i find aceptable to be exclusive but not the whole crafting upgrade

Umm, yes, yes there is. Precisely the way every other MMO in history that has had an expansion does. Stop implying they are doing some faux pas, they are following a genre standard.

Rezzet.3614:

think about it how fair would it be if Example: HoT Warriors had initiative system and their 100b became unblockable how would combat be fair then between new warrior vs old warriors ?

What does fair have to do with it? Is it fair that your making claims and accusations about details you know little about? Or the fact that your dishonestly claiming they “promised” something that they did not. Given some of your untrue statements, you do not have much ground on the matter of “fair”.

Rezzet.3614:

as i said im not asking for players to get free expansion heck anet adds new content or fixes on a monthly basis so free players wont be completely left out . but its unreasonable to forget about non HoT buyers completely.

You appear to be having difficulty discerning the difference between objective fact, and subjective opinion. Simply because you claim something is unreasonable, doesn’t make it so true for all. If that was the case, by your own example of how things should work, if a single poster felt you were being unreasonable, then you have to stop posting on this issue.

Or as the wise sage Sevens the Lucky once said.

And case in point
Guild Wars 2 has never been F2P…
It is Buy to Play
You buy the base game you play the base game
You buy the xpac you play the xpac

Curo.2483:

I have 2000+ hours in WvW, I think I have a pretty good idea of what doesn’t need to exist in the game. Please remove siege decay.

Apparently you do not have the slightest idea. As was said.

lordkrall.7241:

And without siege decay trolls can completely shut down the ability to place siege and not a single thing can be done about it.

So you stand still in a corner (you mentioned stacking) then complain that you die?

Are you dodging?

Are you using things like smoke bomb to aoe blind the attackers?

Perhaps you do not do enough to negate damage. I get focused when stacking, at times. Just because you stack, does not mean you should abandon damage mitigation tactics.

I don’t care what you say, if you feel like paper in soldiers gear, in a dungeon, it absolutely is a lap issue in my experience.

I liked PPK as well. I feel it was successful when it was tested. It gave more value to a kill and punished you more for death.

For one, servers don’t use them. Players do. As well, they posted on recent threads to verify specific folks that they caught and banned.

just skim the top two pages of this sub forum, or use Google, and you would have answered all of these questions.

Aberrant.6749:

Stop zerging and it won’t lag as much. It is a-nets fault for making zerging so rewarding though.

Yeah, cause heaven forbid a folks rune together with their guild and friends on a large, high population pvp map.

Personally, from what I am reading, it seems to me that a great of posters have an irrationally preconceived notion that druid relates to healing. I think the first thing you have to do is drop the preconceptions from other MMOs. They may be more of a CC, buffing, support, specialization.

All thay does is offer a set of rules to allow organized trolling for a group, guild, or clique.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Delune.4817:

Whenever I think about anet not caring about WvW at all I just think of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kk3CDbAO0M

Waits for infraction point

You know, Anet could have dodged all this hostility towards them if they just said 18 months ago “We are working on an expansion and have no time for you”

Yes it would have upset a lot of people, but by dangling a carrot in front of us for over 2 years is much much worse!

Tenner bet I get infracted for this post before you are for yours. Why? just check my sig :P

No they couldn’t. The community gets up in oars with pitchforks and torches about anything they don’t say then irrationally scrutinizes, attacks, and assaults them for everything they do say

They get massive amounts of hostility for merely existing. Your post in this thread a lone, are evidence of that.

Krustydog.3072:

Bertrand.3057:

azyume.6321:

The problem isn’t the points, the problem is the lack of coverage. OP is trying to use a bandage to fix something that isn’t entirely broken while ignoring the real problem. Why all 23 servers, well more if counts the EU as well, should suffer just because your sever have a recruitment problem and doesn’t have a early night/EU/OCx crew?

While talking about this, can you please come to a good point as why the tier 1 and 2 servers will have their efforts diminished when they have plenty of players around to fight, take and defend during those times you judged to be “nightcapping”?

It’s not a server recruitment problem. Recruiting players to fill that time slot for your server is the bandage that fails to address the underlying causes.

No recruitment of night crew will solve the issue, because all that does is shift the burden from one server to another. The population playing during certain time slots is simply much, much smaller, this has to be taken into consideration in the design of the game.

That’s pretty much it and this smaller percentage of players has a greater impact than the majority. That’s pretty much all I was saying and I get flamed.

And?

No one is forcing you not to play during those time zones. That is your choice. Now you are demanding they make core changes to the core game mode to suit your personal needs, regardless of how it effect the rest of the community.

The fact that you absolutely disregard all of those who post against your idea is evidence of that.

You chose not to play during my schedule, then demand with absolutely selfish disregard to other players, that they force those who are not on your play schedule to have a different set of rules. If you actually cared, your solution would not be “hose those guys and change the rules to work against them and their play time, in favor om mine”

If anything, it is players who are willing to hose others in this way, that cause a populations imbalance.

By the way, drop all of your dishonestly and misleading information please. How many servers have you played on. Yet your claiming what happens on your server should dictate what happens to the entire community.

PookieDaWombat.6209:

1- This post is more for trying to elicit an actual response with info from Anet itself (although the general discussion of such things i believe to be necessary for the community as a whole).

Why? are you too special for the “deep dives” to release, that they owe you, personally, something now, just because you demand it?

PookieDaWombat.6209:

2- I can safely say that I’ve personally spent about 1000 dollars on this game in the way of gems since its release and have been with the franchise since the beginning of GW1. I can also safely say that recent Anet decisions have left a bad enough taste in my mouth that I am apprehensive at best about putting any more money towards them until they can speak more openly about their plans.

I can safely say you didn’t. See what I did there. I can made unfounded, unproven claims, to add imaginary weight to my opinion, just as well as you can.

PookieDaWombat.6209:

3- As some others have stated, gating something like Guild Halls behind the xpac would drive once loyal players away from the game faster than anything they’ve done to date, which will hurt their bottom line and their community.

I do not believe you understand what “loyal” means. loyalest will not be driven away by the concept of getting new things in expansions. You may not know this, but expansions are common in MMOs and almost always work as a pay wall to the next level of game advancement. Loyalist have been clamoring all over the internet for and expansion. With post like “take my money” and “I would be throwing money at Anet for an expansion”.

So I am not clear how you determined that giving the community exactly what they have been demanding , will negatively effect the community, much less the bottom line.

PookieDaWombat.6209:

I love this game immensely and have hated every one of the decisions in recent months that have colored the game in a bad light for both new and older players and simply want more open communication about these things before the beta for HOT even drops so the community can weigh in and help guide the game to a bigger and better place.

Have you noticed how many times you specifically say “I want” in your post. Stop crying “I want” repeatedly, then claim concern for the entire community. They already promised “deep dive” videos to go over this stuff.

All I got out of this was

“I had an OP build. They balanced it. I was no longer OP. Clearly they are picking on me. I am taking my ball and going home. Now I made a thread for sympathy, look at me, everybody look at me.’

The fact that you avoid listing what reward you cry and claim are “crap” as well as the change that you “claim” ruined your build, demonstrates your desire for attention.

Your complaints are irrationally scattered and sparse and show an entire lack of concern for any other players. They had some great skins that I really really liked as reward, and your idea to garner my support is to call them “garbage”.

And how bad of a person are you? To promote nicotine, and smoking in all 3 of your post, on a website that is about video games, thus clearly attracting kids?

I see very bad list of very bad ideas.

All someone would need is a commander tag, to use near everything listed to troll players on the same map as them. Nearly every suggestion could, and would, easily be used to troll and distract. Heck, enemy spies could buy an account (as they already do) and tag on a rival server.

There is a reason your ideas fall on deaf ears OP. Because you didn’t consider how they can be used by the forces of evil.

Did the leveling junk they changed a while back restrict using siege till a specific level? Maybe that has something to do with this?

Kit refinement I neither feel kit refinement is broken nor imbalanced. So to suggest either seems silly to me. You simply dislike its functionality and want it changed. As to the last part, I agree. Upon release, it was my favorite trait we had. I have not used it once, since it was neutered.

Static discharge I feel this is neither imbalanced nor broken. Although I would agree that I, as well, would like the functionality adjusted so that players are not forced to camera aim. We already have to many skills that require that.

Incendiary Powder gets unnecessary hate. Personally, i would care to see it changed, but there are a plethora of traits and skills on other professions as well that have equivalently strong passive effects. As long as their are signets offering very strong passive effects, as their are now, I do not support changing this.

Grenades are neither imbalanced or broken. I, myself rarely use them, but I question your understanding, and capability of the profession, when you imply they are OP. Ele/Necro staff skills are equivalently strong. Necro’s can do just as much with them, while gaining the value of having their damage and effects, paining the ground. Seems to me that you are letting personal preferences and desires, to supersede reason and logic on this one.

Pistol #5 well I can agree I guess. I am not much of an off hand pistol player, so I am a bit indifferent on this matter.

Elixir R I sort of agree.

Toss Elixir S not sure I agree. Its utility function is quit strong, so I have trouble justifying a lowering of the CD on an AoE stealth.

Toss Elixir U Yeah, no one likes RnG, particularly on skills.

Mortar I would simply like to see some charzooka style to it, in that it would be mobile.

Grimaldi.8532:

coglin, they already answered this question? Can you post a link, I would greatly appreciate it.

We have an entire sub section of the forums titled “CDI” (collaborative development initiative) that is devoted to dev started or dev participated discussion on most of the hot topics that are commonly recreated and discussed repeatedly.

Grimaldi.8532:

So many great posts and points from so many different servers. The thread is over 3,000 views already. Hopefully we get a reply soon!

Why would you believe it is going to get a reply? We have a thread with over 63,ooo and 51,ooo views that discussed this all ready, in which the devs created and participated in. Why would they bother posting on recreated threads on an already discussed topic, in which the same ideas are regurgitated and repeated again? I have trouble

eureka.3069:

When the tier 1 guilds transferred, they brought their heavy siege style gameplay and it’s slowly being adapted into T2. One of the main problem guilds recently transferred back to tier 1, yet the playstyle they brought is still here.

I feel like T2 has never been about PPT except for the last few months. We understand siege is a great mechanic to secure victory especially with smaller numbers, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it and having it used against you is dull.

You appear to be having a bit of difficulty discerning the difference between subjective opinion, and objective fact. You, personally may not enjoy it. That doesn’t mean that others do not enjoy the war like tactic’s, and strategy in fighting beyond that of herding a zerg alone.

This reminds me of the gnome racial mastery from EQOA (man I loved that game)

What I don’t get, is why you made a new thread for it when we already have 5 new threads every day since the announcement, on this topic. Folks need to participate in the current discussions and stop Maki g a thread for each individuals thoughts.

No one is suggesting that posters are not asking for that.

I was simply responding the the incorrect claims that stated that no one asked for other things, that the poster listed. those were things beyond the players bases control. We asked for them and we received them. Imbalance was created by the player base. More people stopped playing WvW on some servers then others. In other cases, players band wagoned to servers that were winning. In yet more cases, player made friends in PvE or joined guilds from PvE, that they wanted to play with when they do WvW and they transferred to be with them.

By no means to I feel WvW has been neglected in the way some are claiming. Sure, it doesn’t get the attention that PvE gets, but PvE also has a vast amount more players then WvW does. So I can understand its greater attention. On the other hand, every other day, a thread crying that the sky is falling and WvW is going to die if the OP of said thread does not get what they want. I see daily queues on my maps, often all four of them, that prove the folks making threads like this were wrong over two years ago. So I hardly think there are any immediate fears. Particularly given that an expansion is coming. One that could possibly restructure WvW, or how the server systems work, or remove servers all together.

I see. So your claiming to speak for other’s, yet avoiding any proof. Got it. Being a commander, from a large T1 server guild myself, I feel it might be wise to simply discuss your own opinion, instead of trying to add false weight to it by claiming you speak for others. This is a great place to state your opinion, and discuss it. As well, it is a great place for others to post their opinion, and discuss it. It probably isn’t the best place to claim what other people’s opinions are, and try to create an artificial discussion.

lil devils x.6071:

All the changes that have many of the biggest guilds and commanders shopping for other games already, not to mention the updates will be completely anti roamer?

I am a commander in a large WvW guild. Since you disingenuously claim to speak for so many commanders and apparently entire guilds, would you mind listing those commanders and guilds please? I have not heard this, nor heard of them asking you to represent them. Please educate me.

As well, I am not privy to the details of how the update will fully effect WvW. As you appear to claim to know information not yet released, please enlighten me.

Warlord.9074:

No one asked for siege mastery, siege disablers, eotm, none of it. All of these things while yes adding to the game address none of the problems and some cases you anet you make things worst.

We don’t understand why you don’t know this and fix it.

You are other making claims out of an actual lack of the facts or are intentionally being dishonest.

There were threads upon threads asking for golem master. Added ways to use rank points. The WvW masteries are near precisely what was asked for.

EotM was asked for. It may not be exactly what was asked for, but it fit all of the request. The problem was that people made unspecific complaints like this, asking for an area to play, when in queue or for up levels to get karma and XP.

If you think disablers were not asked for by outmaned servers, then I have no idea what your thinking.

Any way you look at it, I can train a monkey to find 5 threads asking for each aspect your falsly suggesting no one asked for.

By the way, stop with all of this “we” stuff. You do not speak for anyone other then yourself. Stop disingenuously attempting to add weight to your argument by claiming you speak for others when you do not.

Map population did change. I would gather you do not actually know what the player caps are on EB or the BLs?

The limits did change. on both damage and buffs. Both based on player feed back. It went front unlimited, to 20, then to 5.

Otherwise, thanks for pointing out the ones I missed.

I disagree with you on the season. I feel the increased map ques and enthusiasm for effort invested, that i see, disagrees with you as well.

I am not saying they have mad perfect changes to WvW. Though I do get tired of the dishonest hyperbole every one loves to fling around.

Neglect? Like all of the changes coming up in the expansion?

You chose to ignore facts, simply to support your negative attitude, that you want to have. That is fine. It doesn’t change the fact that it is disingenuous, given that a great many changes were made based on various CDI discussion, player feed back, or other discussion.

-They took out the water and added an entire new mechanic for points for spiking.

-They added righteous indignation to prevent flip spamming. Made multiple changes to it.

-Removed orbs from EB.

-Added WvW seasons.

-Added, restructured WvW trait lines.

-Ran tests for PPK

-Ran test for sword removal.

-Completely changed population cap per server map.

-Completely changed AoE cap to 5 due to massive community outcry.

-Completely changed boon buff cap due to massive community outcry

-Added different PIN colors.

-Added Art of war upgrades.

-Added siege razor to aid with under populated times on a server.

-Added new maps through edge of the mist due to massive community outcry

- Added siege names to the build sites to prevent troll siege from being built.

- Added slimmed down ram build sites.

- Added siege disablers.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Cos past CDIs have given great results havent they…..

Indeed. They have offered some very good results if you ask me.

Why shouldn’t they? If you have a premade group of lesser skill level then those of the pug group, why shouldn’t they be matched up?

I would much much rather play in that situation then follow the OPs horrible suggestion and sit in queue because he is unreasonably unhappy because his competitors happen to be premade. The system matched you in a manner that allows you to win, and you complain. As I see it, there is no problem. Beyond that of the pointless complaint, that is.

Novuake.2691:

6 more months(probably a lot more) of me LIKING the fact that I can face turret engi’s and have easy wins as a result…

EDIT : Oh wait, you were sarcastic?
I am not being sarcastic.

I was going to say the same thing. I guess it is just simpler to quote you and agree.

Thangorodrim.2748:

The fact that some classes can face only certain classes make the game boring if you are not playing with a competitive roster . Very sad balance .

Good thing it doesn’t exist then.

Certain professions builds are highly susceptible to certain builds on other professions. If you diversify from the meta, you may not have that problem. Then a different build entirely on the same profession or another may give you trouble. No profession innately defeats another. Builds may have innately stronger advantages though.

If something about this issue is going to change in a few months with the expansion release, there is no point to them doing or disclosing anything.

I disagree. I see a great many who want to win the week. When they want karma, they go to EOTM, because karma training is much less efficient in actual WvW in comparison.

Personally, I see no reason to try to shift all of the points to PvP. We have PvP for that as well as the up coming strong hold for. I do not see any logic in forcing that into WvW. If I want it all to be about fights, I will take my guild to obsidian sanctum.

Dawdler.8521:

Uuuuuuuugh give it up.

Ever since release there’s been suggestion upon suggestion on this exact thing. Even after all the collaborative development posts by the devs, nothing has been “fixed” with the core flaw of the WvW, coverage and PPT. You can forget about complicated things like this (yes its complicated to fairly scale PPT in float values even if it may seem like childs play at a glance).

Indeed. No one even looks a page back. Literally every single day someone makes a new thread on this topic. It is hard to determine if they are simply to lazy to look toward the bottom of the front page and post on the existing thread, or believe their opinion holds more value then others, and deserves its own thread.

Dawdler.8521:

Simpler ideas if often better. For example:
No more PPT.
Keeps give a fixed amount of points when taken over.
Keeps also give a fixed amount of points when upgraded a tier.
Keeps apply AoE defense effect giving 2x points for kills when tagged.
Keeps and camps keep track of local outmanned buffs in their surroundings and apply 2x more points for kills (doesnt matter if its attacker or defender, anyone that is outmanned gets it).

End result == Points is focused around taking, upgrading your keeps and actual PvP in and around them. Not PPT kitten all night in an empty border.

This idea is probably wouldn’t work as I see it, unless you have left out some details.. All it does is encourage delayed karma training. Hold keep, upgrade keep. Forget about keep. Once you have the points from taking it and upgrading it, there is little point in wasting effort to hold it. Unless the points per capture and upgrade are very low. Which then defeats the point of keeps at all.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

coglin.1867:

They have been very very clear from the beginning that, like war, WvW is neither designed to be balanced or fair.

That’s funny, cos when it came to designing new maps, the main excuse used was that it take time to map balanced maps. So which is it, balanced or unbalanced?

I am unclear how that is funny. No one said the territory wasn’t designed to be equivalent. There is a difference between map design being done in a manner to avoid offering an innate advantage based on terrain, and the combat being designed for balance. Fights cannot be controlled in the sense of being able to control the various numbers of one side or another, or all 3 for that matter, when they meet in various size forces.

To answer your question, it is both balanced and imbalanced. The maps are balance in a manner to limit inherent advantage. the imbalance lies in the ability for any number of players to fight any other number of player, with in the limit of the available population cap per map.

If there is anything else I can assist or educate you about in the context of WvW, please fell free to ask. I am always glad to help.

Dasenthal.6520:

Not on individual match ups you’re right… But in actual tournaments (especially the way they were last time) was extremely predictable.

How so? Don’t the individual match ups, in themselves, define the tournament?

Dasenthal.6520:

Idk, as far as servers go yes you can tell who is going to win miles out. However it’s always cool to see people come out of PvE (even if it is just for rewards).

Maybe a few, but from what I have seen, there are some extremely close matches on regular weeks, much less tournament weeks. If your suggesting you could pick even 50% of the winners, then your just blowing smoke.

I really enjoy the tournaments, and the impression I get from my guild and my friends is that they do to. I really hope we get another one soon.

I run a similar build in GvGs. Using celestial though, and not clerics. Fumigate is one of the most under rated skill in our kitten nal. Clearing up to 45 conditions, applies AoE poison up to 45 stacks optimally, and 45 stacks of vulnerability.

You appear to misunderstand what pay to win means. You should look into that.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Nah my new solution is the best!

In order to make the game fair and balanced, everyone who tries to join any map is entered into a queue.
In order to get onto the map one player from each of the other 2 servers must also be in a queue.
This guarantees that the number of players on a map are equal for each server on each map.
No more outnumbered, no more complaining about zergs cos if the enemy has a zerg you know you have an identical zerg on your map somewhere.

The end.

What do you call this expansion, that forces queue times on everyone for the sake your version of balance, “Queue Wars 2”? I think this is a very very bad idea.

They have been very very clear from the beginning that, like war, WvW is neither designed to be balanced or fair. Hard forcing queues on other players for having different life schedules is horrible.

I do not want perfectly even matches. I enjoy the war like aspect of adapting to changing flows of battle. I absolutely do not want to sit in queue, simply because you, and other players who see it like this, do not have fortitude to handle a little adversity.

Razgriz.9831:

We end up getting stomped out hard

Define that? What was the final score?

Razgriz.9831:

i had to explain that it was because in matchmaking there is no restrictions to who you can queue up with or got matched with

That is not completely true. There are restriction. You were in a premade team with at least on rank 40 (you made an effort not to disclose if you had more in your team, and the rank of your team mates). The matchmaking, likely based your opponents on the rest of your team.

Razgriz.9831:

judging from his response I don’t think he is going to play it again.

It must not have been very important to him if one match was enough to curb the limited interest he had in the first place.

Jockum.1385:

The matchmaking is horrible since the last pvp update. I think the main problem is: it mixes experienced soloq/teamq players with unexperienced players.

How is it horrible? The problem is the pool of players to chose from, when your queuing. Your option is to not play for a very long time, while the system waits for others to near your rating level to queue up, or play with other who are relatively close, based on system perimeters set.

Jockum.1385:

Mixing good and bad players is less worse than mixing experienced and unexperienced, maybe a player (like me) will lose every one vs. one, but at least he can cap/decap and help other players out.

I enjoy your use of “less worse”, instead of “better” to maintain the negative tone you try to imply. You get rating credit for playing better players/teams, as well as you are more likely to improve when playing better players then weak ones, or not at all.

I’m not a good pvp player but I don’t enjoy teams with three people going for close at the beginning. Which will wait there untill it is capped. Or the whole team always keeps running for the next point leaving everything unprotected.
You don’t learn basics like “always fight on point” “never leave a point unprotected” in hotjoin. So maybe the soloq/teamq/ranked/unranked experience should get more wight.

I agree, no one enjoys that. I feel most people have more difficulty understanding how to rotate on a PvP map then anything. Many seem to simply assume the ability to fight another player defines this game mode. This has nothing to do with matchmaking fairness though.

Jockum.1385:

The matchmaking was way better before the last pvp update. Don’t know what went wrong, but maybe just undo the changes…

No, no it wasn’t.

Its really frustrating knowing the match is lost when its 50vs30 points or something like that. You cannot giveup or leave. I’d like to see /resign back.

Absolutely not. My matches may not be as equivalent as before, but my queues are 500% shorter. I do not want longer queue times, so you can win more matches.

I may said “underpower” but fixed also. Number of glitches iven increase over time e.g. rocket boots random direction change ect.

insanemaniac.2456:

rocket boots is super glitchy =(

Fair enough.

I use RB fairly often, and that directional change glitch is very bad. Given this argument, I can very much agree they are not fixed.

What do you consider “never fixed gadgets”? I didn’t know gadgets as a whole were broken. I have seen rocket boots and utility goggles used regularly since release. I now see very many using slick shoes. I even see PBR used on common enough occasion. They all function as intended to my knowledge.

I would hardly base your dislike of the cool downs and functionality of AED as an applicable bases to declare the entire utility set as “never fixed”.

And yes, we do not review, vet, or approve third-party programs. Each person who wants to know whether something is acceptable needs to read the messaging that is provided and make a decision based on those comments.

Or, you can approve

Why would she do that? What thought process are you using to assume a community manager and liaison, redefines a companies user agreement and customers code of conduct?

One Prarie Outpost.4860:

Why not have NA face off against EU servers. NA T1 vs EU T1, etc.?

Because that would force one set, or the other, to deal with a great deal more lag then the other, due to the servers needing to be located on one side of the world or another.

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

I am simply explaining to you what happened when the fall tourney was announced. It’s a fact. If you have a problem with facts about what happened in the past, take it up with someone that owns a time machine. Please do not throw personal insults me anymore. I am only talking about what happened in the past, and it’s not like I’m the only person who knows about it. Perhaps you should be informed yourself.

Do you have evidence of those facts or links to them?

What specifically are you claiming is a personal insult? I hardly describe calling someone out on flinging accusations, while failing to support those accusation with no evidence, as personal attacks.

You claim it as “common knowledge” in the same fashion that scholars claimed the misconception that the earth was flat as “common knowledge” for centuries. It appears even more malicious, given that you offer no evidence that you were part of those communities, or their discussion, and apparently on an entirely different server.

Yeah, sure, we can go with “most”. I admit, I always enjoy when some random, claims to speak for 4 entirely different servers. Do you have 5 accounts? As your signature says HoD, I find it interesting you claim to speak for the entire population of SoS, FA, YB, and DB. I suspect you will produce much more wind, then you will produce evidence to support that claim.

Proof off all 4 servers intentionally racing to the bottom please?

Further more, proof that all of the guilds that transferred from T1 in the last few months would go for this? Or are you simply flinging accusations at those folks as well?

lil devils x.6071:

We asked them before, they wouldn’t answer the population cap issue for us..

We know the exact cap of each map. It has in fact been confirmed by Anet, more specifically Devon Carver. You are making uninformed claims of false information.

This was the first thing I was told when I came to Tier 1, I asked why I was 33 in que and it took under 2 min to get in and they told me it was because they allow more people on the map in Tier 1. You do not need to do a headcount on Tier 1 to see the sheer number of people.

If you believe everything any random rube tells you, I have a bridge for sale, you may be interested in. It is in Arizona. PM me, I will offer you a large discount due to your displayed intellectual prowess.
