I disagree with all of them, if theres a problem with the weapon swapping aloowing a certain class great benefits it should be addressed, opose freezing all classes weapon swaps.
Some classes depend on vigor and what separates the average-good-great- best players is when they dodge, obviously ele’s have the most to gain from this but they give in elite special skills which to me is a trade off. Also i trait for vigor so i can dodge more after using a utility skill. This is a choice i made to have more dodges, you shouldnt take away peoples choices to simplify the game for new players.
For any sport where you play head to head with another person you need to play with physicality which means your gonna get hit. Alot of the big hitting skills have a tell or a set up hit. I know there is 2-3 different ways i like to combo attack with the classes i use for maximum dmg. The last one seems like your trying to simplify the game for those who its moving too fast for.
Last time i checked you never ask usain bolt to run with weights on his back because hes faster then everyone else. No one told micheal phelps to swim with one arm. The honest answer for things to fix pvp is simple mechanics that are not working the way they should. Ask anet to fix the basic things like range, proper dmg and the way conditions should be removed when using condi removals. Among alot of other little things but this is just my opinion.
Im not really sure what everyone else is thinking about for reward tracks but i need something different. I dont need anymore dungeon skins or tokens. I dont like the skins for the other tracks you have given me access too. Im wondering if your gonna change it up a bit, maybe allow us to work towards a pre-cursor or exotic weapon pcs that we would like or maybe the ability to craft new weapons threw the forge by combining pcs from pvp rewards tracks.
Im sorry but im about to hit my 2000th win and i remember the tickets for the old pvp tourneys as well as collecting glory for make skins and i have never really liked the reward tracks and now that ive finished everything in pvp that i wanted to do item wise.
Im just wondering if theres something in the mix
i agree to a certain agree, in the sense that you have to use longbow or warhorn in a build for mobility or condi removal. Also the mace and axe dont do nearly enough dmg to have a impact a 1 vs 1 fight. It basically becomes a battle of who times there heals/ burst attack better over a long period of time.
This is such a joke, do you realize how squishy necros have to be all match for lich form to be good? Also rampage makes it so warriors have less movement around the map without having to give up other needed utility skills. Also let me point out today vs a guardian he literally blocked all my attacks while in rampage form. He used his focus blocks with aegis with shelter and his elite which was renewed focus. Literally my rampage did nothing since he was waiting for it.
I love the community ability to literally complain about everything. Seriously turrets are basically dead, you cant use supply crate for anything now in group fights. You get what class is most worthless or worst topics and literally everyone has a different answer. Seriously lich form can even get moa, and rampage is only useful if your build has no stability, cant blind, and if the player puts some power in his build.
I find the many choose what happens to the meta since there in ability to learn how to fight vs other classes/skills/ change there own build. Lets blame anet for rangers ranging freely or the nade engy just free casting since everyone has to fight in the circle with there glassy build. Jeez lets forget that certain builds can have great roles in the game but no lets generalize classes as a whole such as these skills.
hahahaha its funny reading this after the day i had,
1st match we went for 3 caps and guess what we got it. We won far mid and home fight. We start off with a 100-0 lead, the 2 who went far went for lord and loss so we lost far, mid then turned into a 4 vs 3 and 1 capped our home. We then never recovered and lost 500-to like 220.
Another match my team was losing by alot. it was 225-45 and we came back to win.
Both of these matches were over 11 minutes long and when we lost i couldnt believe how fast we crumbled and when we won i couldnt believe we came back but thats why you play the whole thing.
Assuming a match is over within the for 300 points just shows a quitters mentality because ive been part of some epic comebacks and fails
I run a dps ham/bow warrior and i beat turret engys in 1 vs 1 all the time its always close but i win like 95% of them and my friends runs a bunker warrior which is pretty fun to watch him stay on a cap point vs 2 for like 30 sec.
thanks for what ever reason it wasnt working and then a few days ago it just worked maybe it was me but thanks again
from the dungeon reward tracks i cant pick weapons i want from the weapons box and the recipe i got from the laurel vendor wont let me choose the occam style hand armor. Its for the start of it since i already have the insignia as a crafting option.
I run a different mesmer build, i run 2-0-6-0-6. I also use moa and portal. I actually some matches ill use no invisibility skills. This build is my version of a bunker mesmer and its very good vs average and below players since they will kill clones and get condi dmg and ill shatter for condi dmg.
And after i win the fight ill drop a portal and move to find at mid or far and portal back if i see someone trying to decap or cap. With a good team and good rotations we destroy teams since we can portal from different spots and move around freely to help other people.
I have maintained a 52%+ win rate with this build as a solo que player and with my guild team we went 11-2 about 1 month ago.
I find your comment to not be truthful and the problem of the gw2 community since you dont know how to make other builds work. Simply cause you either arent good enough/ cant change your style of play/ lack the understanding of a 5 vs 5. Though i do like the idea of the community talking about classes.
once agree i completely disagree with your idea of the mesmer class.
You’re making a bad build work just because as you yourself said you’re facing bad or average players, so insulting others because they actually play builds that are effective against skilled players makes completely no sense. Your reasoning that it works because the players kill clones only confirms you face people who barely bought the game. Calling OP bad because he runs a build that actually requires skill is just a joke.
You should look me up before assuming i dont play skilled players. Telling you that i easily beat average and below players with this build shows its not a bad build. Also just because i greatly disagree with the logic that people have to use dueling skills to be effective at the highest level doesnt change my opinion on the 1 sided view of it.
Lastly to play at the highest level in pvp takes skill, you assuming that a build doesnt take skill vs other elite players shows his exact point of view. The idea you have to run certain trait lines then if you lose its because your build takes skill.
ironic, no?

You’re sounding kind of aggressive, so please restrain yourself from insulting me personally if possible. Your point is valid, however I find it rude that you assume my opinion being somewhat exaggerated and differing from your apparent experience is due to my own unskillfulness or lack of understanding.
My understanding of mesmer’s position is thus: The majority of our builds, excluding maybe 1-5%[made up statistic], use DE in PvP. Power Shatter, Condi PU, MtD Shatter, Lockdown[Again, most of the time], even Phantasm[sometimes]. These same builds are what mesmer tends to be known for, what people know us as, and thus what the majority of mesmers use. Don’t take my word for it, of course. Ask top-tier mesmers, ask the whole mesmer community. I’m not saying not using DE cannot be done, I’m saying that DE as a whole steals a place in the majority of the mesmer’s builds that it is indeed a crutch which the mesmer is leaning on at the moment. Saying “all PvP mesmers use DE” may be an exaggeration, but only slightly so, like seeing “$1.99” and thinking “$2.00”.
My comment was simply put there not to be aggressive but to point out that you feel its a necessity as oppose to the preferred. Just because most people use it doesnt mean you have to be a elite build or in the case of the many good for its place.

Also if i may point out if your new to the game or arent very good you wont be facing good premades. Ive ran into alot of premades but it didnt change anything. People seriously believe that nothing is there fault.
No matter if its premade or not if you win the 2 vs 2 or 1 vs 1 on points it gives you team the advantage so if you have a player who loses the 1 vs 1 at home or far and you lose the 3 vs 3 at mid etc your gonna lose no matter what.
Ok recently i havent been able to pick the weapons i get from the dungeon reward tracks in pvp and also got a recipe for a ascended hand armor and it wont let me choose the type of armor i want it to be. Is there anything i can do about this?
Hello,
Few weeks ago i decided to get into GW2 again, especially sPvP. However it seems that the SoloQ was removed, can someone explain to me why this was done?
Ok a few things,
1) insane long que times
2) serious skill gap, you would have serious elite players vs new players because of the time. I seriously waited 15 min got into a match and not 1 person was worth the time in a 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2
3) at the time skyhammer and the orb map werent as equal as it is now
I would like to here your reason for a solo que, because if were being honest about the mmr. If your bad in solo ques in unranked and ranked now you will be bad in solo que aswell.
Example today someone told me i shouldnt play unranked because it wasnt fair since him and his friend was new to the game. So i went to ranked since im a understadning person.
Are we being serious right now?
Seriously everyone on this forum complains about fighting ai turret engys then they come out with a pvp map where you mostly fight npc, really?
Also acting like we all cant see where this is leading, anyone who played league and moba sees the same things. Also being a person who has played at least 6 other mmos before gw2 ive seen my fair share of pvp styles.
Lastly if you think conquest is zerg fights or fighting in cap points shows how little you actually know about conquest. Seriously the elite teams of gw2 dont even fight in the cap points if they dont have to. Which brings in the strategy of conquest. Something as simple as who fights in the cap poinit and who fights from a distance, pairing up condi with dps players so you do the most damage, rotations and the simple fact that killing people gives you a advantage.
I didnt say i didnt like stronghold but if this where the community takes pvp that would be sad because of how great conquest actually is. You have forum topics such defense or offense, and we should have full teams just on defense and offense. Everyone and there mother wants the game to be made simple so they can run pure classes.
Is the best part, peoples responses where its the beta or just cause its not your version of pvp. Ummmm im sorry but we kill npc and a npc lord to win the game and we escort npc for support. Yes ohhh my as someone who loves his staff mesmer condi traits 2-0-6-0-6 with the rune of the undead i love the ability to come up with unique builds which kills other players.
Please tell me you if you were to project the future of this map that you wouldnt see boon shouting characters escorting with pure bunkers sit by the gate and dps players roaming to kill npc. Seriously our job in this pvp map is to support npc!
Its like being Michael Jordan and kobe bryant and the only way to win is to pass the ball to a college player to score. Like no matter how many points you score or how well you defend or how many people you kill we can only win if this college player who isnt as good gets the ball down the court and scores.
(edited by kdaddy.5431)
I honestly cant help but chuckle at people who think this is better then conquest. A few things if i can
1) Were going backwards build wise
At what point is playing only defense or offense with similar type of builds a good thing. I understand that people trying to learn how to play either high risk high reward builds sucked for them because 90% of the gw2 players arent any good at pvp. I can just see people coming up with pure bunker characters again to defend and pure dps characters kill npc mobs.
2) PvP strategy?
Ive had a few matches go the distance and i sit there and wonder how simply because everyone who tried to 1 vs 1 me lost. The thing bothering the most is its not pvp anymore, its who can play the role best. Its no longer who can hold points longer or win a fight its about who ran the npc quicker with the better escort. You have all these people talking lack of builds and here we go back to more tradioinal trinity system mostly because people werent very good at pvp so this makes it simple.
3) Its neat
I will say it is fun at times but i also fine death match fun and wished for a few more maps for that. What impressed me most about this game was that it did take skill, understanding what to dodge and what attacks were coming aswell as watching my opponents boons/auras. Now i find myself either running back and forth to to grab a npc or escort a npc to fight a npkittenill a players comes over to stop me.
And the end of all that is this really what the gw1/lol/moba players in gw2 looking for? The guys who prefer that style of pvp with the freedom of the gw2 style of fighting? Its a fun side game but seriously it doesnt show the same ability or skill as conquest. You will have people literally do the same thing the whole match and be pounding there chest because he runs faster to supply and avoids fights to help elsewhere which can be good strategy if we were fighting other people as oppose to npc.
I truly hope we get another map for this cause its fun but pray to lyssa that this doesnt become the “it” thing for pvp.
My frustration with the community. Engis
kitten this class
then just run condi, it’s an autowin against engineer if you are not awful at playing the build. engineer is designed to be very weak vs condi and cc, especially condi.
on the topic of overconfidence in the community, i mean what can be said? these people have no idea how bad they are and many refuse to change tactics. i tried to teach a new player how to play once, but all he wanted to do is run zerker GS warrior and rage about engineers. refused to listen to my advice, even though i have been playing since beta and him only 2 weeks. noobs with big heads are rampant in this community, it’s sad- with some humility and patience they could be good players.
The guy from today has been playing this game a long time and has been on the leader board with the 2 accounts i saw him on today. I see him making comments on the forum aswell.
He literally whispered me after every match. Mind you i went 4-0 against him 4 straight games, i solo qued every match and i beat him everytime he engaged in a 1 vs 1. It wasnt till the last match when the team i was on won 504-266 and i killed him 15 sec before the match was over that he stopped. Seriously the last thing i said to him was who won.
This guy is a senior member of the pvp community and i personally believe if you think your better then everyone you should carry a little better. I run portal which means i should suffer in 1 vs1 because i use 1 skill for team fights. Yet he has nothing nice to say to his team or me for using a mesmer. Yet he cant win the 1 vs 1 or the team fights and blames everyone else.
Reason i say it again is because of your point, hes feeding a negative attitude and an odd way of looking at builds because he cant win. The guy run zerker warrior either needs to get better/ ajust play style/ or listen to another persons opinion. Which brings me back to the GW2 community simply needing to be better.
I really wish i knew had to post pics, i have 1 of this d/d ele talking trash about mesmers on his team because they lost. Im playing mesmer atm and i beat him 1 vs 1 and he started whispering a whole bunch of stuff and i didnt say anything but who won.
He then changed accounts and the reason i know is the next game he was on a different account and whispered me in the zerg fight at mid when i died he said your still a kittenty mesmer. I took a few pics and im posting it on my guild page but i saw this dude the 4 straight matches and he lost every match. He was on 2 different accounts whispering me telling me i got lucky, mesmers suck, i play a cheese build which is fine but when he ragged on his team mates i reminded him he was yet to beat me all day in a match and 1 vs 1 and after the last match he shutted up but there is to many people on this forum and on the game who think there better then they really are.
Im tired of people on this forum talking nerfs and saying things are all out of wack, i run a staff condi mesmer with portal and rolling these guys who are talking mad- ish to people. I beat his d/d ele, his medi guardian and i rolled a turret engy with moa in 7 sec.
Im truly tired of the community’s ego. If you think your good dont talk trash to newer players cause you didnt win cause theres always someone better or the fact people are playing for fun.
Im sick of people calling for nerfs when i have friends who can beat a turret engy on there thief and hes planted there. Just because i cant doesnt mean the class should be nerfed.
Lastly anet i marked that person up for abuse and no i didnt block him and i got about 5 screen prints of his negativity towards me and his mesmer team mates.
Did you just say you had a teammate with legendary champion that didn’t know what a portal was?
Yes i literally leave portals on the cap points to make sure the opposing team doesnt cap it and if i can decap it. I told everyone to go to mid so i dropped a portal at mid and i ran to lord and got to the steps and hit the portal button and 2 ran back to portect our lord and 1 went to far to decap and 1 warrior ran to lord after he stayed at mid to cap. All of them had some sourd of title for pvp the engy and ranger doing the most talking had a legendary champion title and champion ranger title.
I dont think theres anything wrong with turret engys. I have a pic but i forgot how to post pics on here but my group literally ran into mid over and over again to die and when they went far they got the decap and cap and me and 1 ranger would stay between home and mid and wouldnt die since he sat on the edge and i used portals.
We had a engy tell us not to sit, we said we didnt and that i use portals. He responds what does that mean. Then he and 2 others started blaming everyone for the loss and the name calling began. I would love to post the pic because i have a another with all of there titles being legendary champions.
why didnt you go 1 zerk with 1 bunker support? Like guardian with staff for might and zerk warrior with stances?
Or power necro with d/d ele, you ran in there with 5 vs 5 builds and calling the ammy easy proof when really by your own admission you didnt do your homework for 2 vs 2
Ok so i played a few games this morning and ive run into my fair share of pvp players who act like the many in this forum.
So many bad rotations and zerging and the non stop trash talking whether its to team mates or the opponent which is fine but wow. For instance the dead players making fun of the new players with dolyak or deer finishers. Best yet the guys on our team running into 2 vs 2 vs a turret engy and guardian and losing and calling them cheese mode when we already had 2 cap points.
The best part is my own team and the turret engy had something to say to me when i beat the turret engy 1 vs 1 with moa and i use staff. I literally am writing this because i truly believe that 80% of people that go into pvp and go on this forum to write things and think they are good at pvp and there actually horrible.
Seriously i solo que the heavy majority of my matches i can immediately tell if the people on my team know what there doing and yet its not these peoples faults they lost. You have people coming on here talking about they cant win or they cant beat a class and i truly dont know why they cant other then maybe there not any good.
I watched so many people run into a 2 vs 2 mid and a 2 vs 3 home when were getting triple capped and all the people who died and came back dont bother to run far. Or they cant win the 2 vs 2 at that point and dont disengage and help at home. I see all the people with these titles and people talking about there ranks as if that makes them decent players and its literally bothered me the past 2 days listening to them rag on team mates or the other team.
I am clearly venting and tired of people coming on the forum to complain about certain builds or ammys and then having people in the game talk about it as if its fact. The people non stop complaining because they dont like ai and blah blah blah is becoming kitten.
I feel better thank you
I would say you would have moments in some games and in others you would get destroyed. There are certain builds and classes that are just hit and miss. If you play with people who know what your doing or your set up you can easily be successful.
My guild when we run premades, none of us use meta. Our thief runs a 4-6-0-0-4 d/d- p/p thief and our necro is a power. I run stances hambow and we have literally ran into 3 turret engy 2 guardian premades and wrecked them. We have had teams literally quit queing to avoid us when the saw us in hotm.
As solo que goes other then me they tend to struggle. Which goes for any build that isnt all around good. All i was trying to say is if you know what you can be good at/ rotate to the right fight/ understand who you can fight 1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2 you can be successful with any build.
Too many times you get people running into a cap point when they have 1 person there and a mesmer or ranger able to range them from far. Or a bunker condi character sitting on a point and your pure dps character with limited condi removal saying a build is crap cause they cant beat it.
Our team in the wts, we only lose to the guys you see in the finals. Do we get crushed…… yes but we dont run meta builds and we have fun with our bursty and/or bunkery builds.
lol dont listen to the people on here or sitting in pvp land. We run a power necro in our group and the abjured ran nos forever. Simply put the majority of people always run meta and when they lose they rage to something that isnt.
For instance our premade is power necro/ bunker guardian (who does team might stacking)/ stances warrior hambow/ staff ele/ and our 5th ranger either does dps longbow ranger or dps thief.
We have ran these builds since the wts for china and we enter these tourneys and do fine. We have earned our stripes (mini llama). Let me add our first win in a tourney was against a team who never pushed our far, just because alot of people talk about pvp like they know everything doesnt mean smoosh.
Go read patch notes from balance patches from last year’s April 15th patch to now. They didn’t balance around meta builds. If they did rangers wouldn’t have been buffed.
Do you think two weeks of an invis bug with a smaller development team trying to identify the source of the coding error is unreasonable? I played AA for a few months, and I’m not sure if they even fixed straight up hacking issues yet let alone bugs in their game and it has been out since August or September. Anet cares about these things whether or not you think they do.
You played Unranked. I rarely play Unranked because I specifically don’t like CY, Skyhammer, or Spiritwatch much. It’s your choice if you play the map or not when you have the option of playing Ranked.
Yes, they made other classes available for play, but they did not fix traits so classes like the elementalist could actually play other stuff except d/d in competetive play. Like i also noted, im not calling out for them for not trying to balance it, its the frequency thats almost non existant. Of said balance. All classes by this time should have allot more creativity and availability in there traitsets.
Second, The entire ordeal with them not communicating is where im comming from, not the entire notion they will never fix it. I am not going to compare it to a mediocre game like AA because i know Anet is better then that. I just showcase how PvP gets the short end of the stick, while any update like SW chestfarming, the devs where noting every day on amber chestfarming and keeping us up to date with it.
There is no option if i dont feel at my 100% competiveness and i want to maintain a solid ranking. Unranked isnt hotjoin, it should be exacly the same as ranked but without messing with scores. Or atleast give us the option to veto certain maps to remove them for good in our unranked matches.
Your completly wrong about the eles. There are a ton of EU players using staff which is why the eu commentators find it wierd they never see any NA players using anything but d/d
You want the truth? NA players overall dont engage in new builds within a team concept. Its why the abjured got rocked but EU who has tons of teams play unique and different builds but still stay within the team concept.
You also have a ton of people who just arent any good coming on here constantly complaining about turret engies and other half decent builds they cant beat. News flash, if you running 5 vs 5 alot in ranked your gonna run into at least 3 engys and you better L2P if you want to win.
There’s no reason to pursue the engi once all his turrets (especially crate) is on the point. Just roam elsewhere and help your team out. If he follows you he’ll die easily. If not, he’ll stay on point while his team on the other points gets handicapped.
Out rotating them is easier than debunking them.Two bunker engi’s were in this game.

Great picture post, i really dont think people understand how often that happens especially when you run with premades. People complain about running into 2-2-1 or 3-1-1 premades but when you run a full 5 you will see alot of the turret engy crisis and you either know how to beat them or dont.
Also im not sure if you were a premade or just soloing but still a good pic post.
The rest of the match we fought by the gates.
this is how you win it
but you have to get a solid position to start with
Oh yeah but in the first match they actually had triple cap and we zerged our mid and home since they got comfortable. Now we barely won the first match and even though we fought at the gate and around corners for the forest map they did back cap us a few times. The matches vs turret engys are stressful because our ele ran staff so its difficult to kill quickly and our thief is dps so he actually couldnt fight them on points. We are lucky to have been on team speak and a full premade when this happened.
This actually happens more then you think it would, we have ran into 3 turret engy 1 banner warrior and 1 guardian premades all the time. Especially when the wts starts to happen. When we entered the china one we must of ran into 3 turret engy premades every other game. So we just know how to counter as a team, i couldnt imagine winning with pugs. At that time we only lost to 1 premade and it was 2 turret engys/ 1 kit engy/ and 2 d/d ele and we just couldnt win the 1 vs 1 the d/d eles but we do alot better since they downed might stacking a bit.
Yeah my team fought them too, we won but the first time we faced them it caught us off guard as well. My team was on team speak and we were full premade so it was easier fighting them later.
So we ran power necro/bunker guardian/ these 2 run together for the might stacking the guardian skill. 1 ele and one thief who run together. And 1 hambow warrior, we did a 2-2-1- split. Guaridan and necro went mid, ele and thief went home and warrior (me) went far. The ele and thief fought off point and were able to kill 1 while the other capped but eventually got it. We liched form mid and i won the fight at far. The rest of the match we fought by the gates. This was the 2nd and 3rd time and we did very well but that first time was a bit frustrating. Just got to keep playing threw it.
I really tried but it looks like i’m retiring you once again and going back to PVE. You just rarely feel balanced or fair and it’s getting far too stressful for me to play and enjoy you. Maybe it’s my fault because i never followed meta, just played my own builds. But to be punished for playing the way i want to play doesn’t sit well with me and i don’t wish to change my mind about it.
goodbye for now.
lastly not willing to change your mind on it is more of a reflection on you as oppose to the game or everyone elses opinions which is wierd that you came in here to post.
Im sorry but it would be helpful to know what your build is. I for instance never run meta as well but i do just fine in solo or team ques.
Like i run a stance warrior with might shout and rampage with a build 4-0-6-4—0. The the idea is for people to help me out with what i might be doing wrong build wise.
Or my ele is staff ele 2-0-2-6-4 with cantrips and the elemental.
Or my condi raner etc etc, saying your build doesnt work in pvp is not helpful unless your just looking for a place to complain. (i do aswell) Then alrighty then.
Remove “14.0.58.2 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com” from your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file. Those server can change, resulting in your trying to connect to something that no longer exists. If you want to continue overriding the IP, use the -assetsrv command instead.
Try running the game on port 80 and 443. (Gw2.exe -clientport 80)
To verify it’s not a software problem, press WindowsKey+R and open msconfig. Under the boot tab, check safe boot and select networking under it. Click OK and reboot. Your computer will start in safe mode. The launcher should still work, however you will not be able to play the game like this. Open msconfig and uncheck safe boot to return to normal.
According to the pathpings, you are seeing quite a bit of packet loss, upwards of 90% at LDN-London.as6453.net. The hops after that don’t respond to pings however, causing the trace to stop. You would need to use a program such as Ping Plotter to see the full picture. To work around this problem, you would need to use a VPN to reroute your connection through a different network.
Thanks for the post, either it didnt work for me or i did something wrong. either way thanks again
Heres my point of view on it-
I currently havent been able to get into the game aswell since the patch. I been logging in everyday since pre but this past week havent played at all. When i enter my account email and password it fine untill i hit play. Then my computer freezes, i havent filled out a ticket since im not sure what that is. Also im not cumputer savy, i actually have to look it up on utube or yahoo to find out how to do things other people just know how to do.
Heres my other point, there are people having problems with the game since the patch. Is it not anet job who put out the game/ put in the patch to make the game accessible for the people playing it. I dont run any other software since this is the only game on my pc and i bought the family a ps4.
There is no one to talk to about the pc problems and i dont like doing things threw email. If people rage why isnt it ok for them to rage? There are so many other games out there and they want to play this one. Yet were having other people try to help us. ( I appreciate it) You are have people talk about using window mode with /gw2.exe. to play the game.
We could play the game fine until this past Tuesday so of course its frustrating when we have been able to log in and play for the past 3 years.(for gw2 and even longer for gw1)
I thought there be a update on files and there was and i currently am still having the same problem. I double click the GW2 icon get the caithe log in set up, i enter my pw and then i hit play.
Then i get a flicker of the guild wars 2 blue on on the top of the screen and thats it. My computer then freezes. The gw2 page never actually pops up to the character screen. Hope it can get fixed soon.
LOL im still struggling to change mine, im not sure where to go aswell so i hope i dont lose anything
Im sorry you havent proven anything. Also imo mesmer is the hardest class to play and be good at it. Also you havent stated how that match went. If the match was 500-350 alot of people would consider it close. Lastly if you play 10 plus matches a day having 1-2 bad matches gonna happen. If you play 3-4 and you get 2 bad matches it gonna happen.
Bringing back solo que wont fix that
I disagree, i was in NA and at the end there for solo ques i was having to wait 8-15 min and was only playing the elite players in the game. I was actually yolo queing in team ques to get into matches. Not to mention that people who right about fighting premades all the time have been called out and have had salt thrown back at them but refuse to listen and just say stuff like “mm atm isnt working” because i say so.
Before i started using mesmer i was over 55% in solo queing in ranked, i run into certain premades all the time and dont find it to be a big deal because the matches are close and seem to be even.
Lastly you saying your fighting 2 vs 1 means nothing. it could of been 2 vs 2 at mid one of your teammates died and 1 left to finish you at your point. Better yet the zerg mentality which your team loses a 3 vs 3 at a point and 2 run to you. Your saying you fighting 2 vs 1 but we have no idea the circumstance of the fights.
Im sorry not to be a downer but solo que imo was always a bad thing. People ran in ther ewith builds not good for team play and said oh i won my fight or i carried when you ran all skills for just yourself. Max invisibility thiefs, signet warriors, turret engys who sit, max invisibility mesmers. It sounds like your on Eu so it might be different for you but from where i sit i disagree.
First of all, I would rather have longer queues than getting the matches I’ve been getting. They’re really not fun at all. And it’s not because of losing, it’s because they’re frustrating as hell. People making beginner mistakes, not knowing the basics. There’s literally nothing I can do. I actually enjoy the games with people who are good at this game, those matches are fun. And no, matchmaking is really not working. If it was, I wouldn’t be matched with someone who is REALLY new one game and top players next game.
Alright, sorry for not clearing that one up. About the 2v1’s, I was thinking about a few situations when I just had 2v1 from the start, not my teammate dying. It’s really not a big issue, anyone okay at this game could 2v1 those players. It just points out to matchmaking not working again.
And you think people will run different builds just because there is no soloq? People will run what they feel like running if they queue solo. Sorry to burst your bubble but there are still turret engis (and even more of them now), signet warriors, perma stealth thieves and pu mesmers.
Once again imo i feel people change there builds based on going into team que. Ive literally had turret engy change characters mid match since they couldnt leave a cap point without getting killed. I use to run into signet warriors all the time in solo ques and i never see them anymore. Will there be a few people, yeah of course but once again. You have a few people asking for solo que when ultimately the masses are playing better in team que and the game was meant for people to team up.
Let me give you an example. I already posted it in a different thread. I asked them if they could switch, no one did. The dude was running celestial condi mesmer. Can you please tell me how this is different? And it’s like that almost every match.
Im sorry i dont see the big problem, if everyone solo qued its still a even match. I once won a match where everyone solo qued and we had 3 mesmers and 2 thieves. If you play with good players no matter what class you can win a casual ranked match.
For example i run a staff condi memser so i tend to fight on the points for 2 vs 2 situations. Your complaining because you didnt like that your team had all light armor characters yet the other team had 2 rangers so you actually should of been able to beat them in 2 vs 2 off/on a point with the mesmers. Obviously i dont know how your match went but ive been on a team with all heavies before and lost and ive been on a all squishy team and won.
Lastly it would be no different if all these people qued in solo que and you got these same exact teams in solo que. It feels like your complaining about MM instead of the rank/solo ques.
@k daddy
So what you’re saying is that you typically play in premades and see nothing wrong with the way the matchmaking currently works. Hmmm, I can’t imagine why.
you probably cant read since i did say i mostly solo que and i had kitten win rate solo queing before i went to mesmer but its ok were all learning new things everyday.
I disagree, i was in NA and at the end there for solo ques i was having to wait 8-15 min and was only playing the elite players in the game.

I was able to log in and play just fine 3 days ago and i havent been able to since the big patch. I thought the next day patch would fix it and it didnt. I will not fix the game myself if anet somehow doesnt fix it. I do not plan to sit around and wait for a long period of time. I will go into purchasing another game and playing that. Thats ultimately what im saying though i sputter off alot.
I read 3 times your post, i have no idea of what you talk about ..
especially ‘’ jump threw a bunch of loops ’’ its a new dance move or what ?
Lol sorry i must be muttering,
So i have been unable to play the game for the past 3 days. 1st time after patch it wouldnt get out of initialize. I read on here to create another folder and put your gw2setup.exe file in it and rename it. So that fixed a issue and then theres some other things.
I currently can log into the game but still cant play. It wont let me get to the character select page. There was another forum topic sharing what and how to bypass certain things to log in. I would consider these loops since its things i would have to look up and do myself. I got some people to purchase the game over that time on discount. There having similar issues but since it was a few of them they just moved on.
I really enjoy this game and i just find it frustrating that ive been able to log in for almost 3 years everyday and now i cant after a patch. The other aspect is i got a few people to buy the game and the second they run into a little bump there basically done. You want to buy the game load it and play it. There is no call system so they have to come to this forum or do some ticket system and they just didnt want to deal with any of the mess. 1 went back to d3, 2 others just went back to the PS4.
ive had many people in many situations tell me i didnt know what i was doing simply because i didnt go where they told me too or didnt target who they wanted me to target.
Ive literally had matches with them on my team, they talk a huge amount of crap and the next game i fight them and i crush them. It isnt the PvP level or experience of the players. It PvP in genral, you will never find a game where in PvP there isnt trash talking.

LOL what do want? For rnagers to not be a even decent condi character? It literally only has bleeds for dps where necros and mesmers you can stack multiple different condis.
Ranger you have to use rune of the krait with entangle and its a burst type of condi. Its easily removed and can be easily countered. Rangers arent good in melee, they struggle with Longbow in 5 vs 5 settings (where teams are actually communicating to win) and your trying to remove its only above average aspect.
WOW
Ok so there were some more files to upload and i thought cool maybe i could play now. Nope and there some people saying you can but theres a bunch of hoops to jump threw and other things which i will not do. When theres the consoles and other pc games that arent having issues like you being able to play the game. Its a pretty big thing.
Your announcing the upcoming expansion and all the different things like revenant/WvW borderlands/ and some other changes. Thats great but i will not pay for a game and continue to play this one if i have to jump threw a bunch of loops. Im a huge fan of the game and been playing since the gw1 death leveling days. So i personally will stick around for a bit.
Though i did tell some friends and family members who bought the game at that great discount who have already decided it doesnt work. It seriously sucks getting people to buy in and then something rough likes this happens.
Clearly you didn’t read the other topics. Please go read some.
which one would you like me to read since im missing it?
I have the same problem. I can log in just fine, but if I hit [PLAY] my whole system locks up.
same situation for me
Then what do you expect to be replied other than the same things you had already read in the topic asking the same exact thing?
After i posted i was running threw all the other topics, still doesnt change my stance. I dont need people to reply im just looking for a answer to fix the problem whether i posted it myself or on someone elses and ive gone threw 3 pages and dont see one.
Also let me add that alot of these people are simply trying to load the game, ive been playing the game since pre. Ive been able to log in almost every day for the nearly the past 3 years so my situation is some what different then the people trying to load the game/ coming back to the game/ or people losing info from there characters.
Please try reading the other topics before opening one.
There are a ton of people having the same problem, just because i started my own topic on it instead of adding to another doesnt change the problem. Also i dont see a solution from any of the other post.
