I think Ranked Match currently is a lie. I was legendary s3. but I noticed I got teamed up with sapphire on a ranked match. I would make a thread about this but I’m too lazy to complain again. I think the off season ranked match still works like unranked match but you won’t get beta map like capricorn etc, which I think the reason they open ranked match.
Just wanna comment a bit. a no-no doesn’t mean “don’t use gs” coz gs has a good pull utility. Some places you wanna use it is at uncategorized the 4 golem boss and arch diviner during the bell phase to pull 4 adds to the center.
One time I was 1v1ing a reaper on my d/p thief and I quickly dodged away when he/she went into reaper shroud, eventually killing him/her. The individual quickly spammed in map chat that I was being too much of a tryhard and that thief required no skill at all.
After the match ended, he/she whispered me and said that I should uninstall my game for being a tryhard. I told him/her that I was kind of part of the esports scene somewhat, and that running away from dangerous things such as reaper shroud was kind of just ingrained in my head.
He/she then got really mad and started calling me names and such, eventually stating that I had a responsibility as an “esports player” to intentionally die in 1v1s in ques to boost the self-esteem and confidence of new players, because the game was dying.
And then he/she started calling me tryhard in map chat and whispers repeatedly until eventually logging off.
Unranked is always kitten. I don’t expect they can fix it soon. If you think matchmaking for ranked is bad. Matchmaking for unranked is far worse. The skill difference among players in a match is too great.
People usually use unranked to test builds and play weird cheesy or kitten build. So they are everywhere. Just imagine unranked as a circus with a lot of clowns. If you play too serious in unranked, you will just get angry. Well, that’s what I told to myself xD.
Been slowly losing interest due to glaring problems since June 2015 patch, rage quit during previous season, so no, wont be coming back :/
kittening made me play Overwatch and I hate kitten shooters..
I would DEFINITELY kick u also. Thx for crying here though. I like this kind of thread.
You just wanna make fun of people when they are trying to make a smooth run. I think they will appreciate it.
I just wanna say that I got my first insight from matthias and we 1 shot him (My guildies were teaching me raid and they took me to matthias first, I probably got carried so hard though). I learnt all the mechanic of bosses in 2 weeks. Actually learning raid is far easier than learning the old fractal 50 when they were still hard.
Just need to find a group of people that wanna take newcomer and show the ropes.
The more I’ve done this fight, the less worthwhile I think the Sigil of Impact is (unless you’re trying to do a speed run or are using less than 10 people). It’s really not hard to hit the DPS check of this fight when you handle the mechanics correctly and if you’re borking the mechanics, added DPS won’t really make up for it.
For example, if your group is new to the fight, you’ll probably wipe due to merged adds causing mayhem, but once your group can get through the encounter without an add merging, you’ll likely clear it with ease. The only exception is just if everyone is doing really well, but the person playing pong/hockey/whatever you call it with the orb during that phase is struggling, you may need the extra DPS.
However, I think that for your common raider, it’s not worth overriding your regular sigil just for this one fight.
Well at some point, asc equipment just keeps pilling up coz no new toons. So I just wanna minmax stat. But I’m not sure about the effectiveness coz it only works during burn phase,
Sigil of strength is unnecessary, but of course the rev should keep the might facet up to give the chrono as much might as possible. The chrono is going to get pretty much zero might from the warrior but can give a lot back with signet of inspiration. And besides, what besides the might facet are you even going to do?
is it worth to use sigil of impact on classes other than ele?
edit:
is it dps increase? sorry for the confusion.
Yes. If you do power damage. Almost all of the damage to keep constuct is in that burn phase. Much more than half. So it’s better than sigil of force for that fight.
Not really. Ele’s in a weird spot were that sigil gets the added bonus of tempest defense, so the synergy is too good to pass up.
This is…wrong. The fact that ele already has a similar bonus just makes it less effective, proportionally. As in 1.2 -> 1.3 is an 8.3% increase, while 1.0 -> 1.1 is a 10% increase.
wait what? so sigil of air + impact? or force + impact?
“I’ve went on a car trip to Kroger, stopped for gas and Wendy’s and came back only to still be in a queue. "
Omg I did something similar. It’s actually a bit funny bcoz when you get a q popped , you still need to pray everyone accepts it.
Tbh, at pvp current condition, idk what can fix it. But proper reward is probably the easiest and most impactful think to do. It will give shorter queue and more players poll for the matchmaking. The second thing would probably fix matchmaking. Idk why it tends to group up people with high mmr (low player poll?)?
keep getting stuck from taunt or w/e the source is.
Edit: Another reminder thread
I know I can use movement skill or emote to fix it but this bug is so stupid and should get fixed.
Why not just put some tooltip for taunt : this skill can make diamond skin ele gets stuck and they need to use emote or use movement skill to get rid of it.
Yeah the reason you’re advancing is because of your MMR, same as my diamond char. The games are easier and my team mates are better. Simple as that. If this game used true match making, nobody would ever get 10 wins in a row. This system is design to allow good MMR to climb on top of bad, that’s why so many people are upset.
I don’t know, I find that this has a lot more to do with winning 10+ games in a row.
Ty anet for fixing astralaria animation. Now if they can fix other revenant problem like precision strike bug, glint underwater, and jalis hammer, I will be very happy.
. Just imagine unranked as a circus with a lot of clowns. If you play too serious in unranked, you will just get angry. Well, that’s what I told to myself xD.
