Alright big guy, you’re all talk. Let’s see some actual proof behind what you are claiming. This ongoing “bug” that has prevented the OP from completing this within the span of months.
Besides this post there have been a lot of posts about it on this forum since HOT launched. I’ve personally experienced the bugs with my glider not opening, with mordy not taking damage near the end of the fight once you get rid of his break bar where you have to kill yourself to reset him and with Brahams shield not working.

Thanks for the reports everyone. I suspect this is still a latency issue. After seeing this behavior, can you try waiting ~5 minutes to see if your main league UI updates and the game shows up in your match history?
This issue seems to be increasing, do you have any more comments? I will not be pvping until this is settled one way or the other.

They need to make it possible to select your megaserver.
When I played Champions Online, a much older game then this, you were prompted with a list of instances when you wanted to warp to a different map. It listed how many people were in each instance and if you had any friends/guild mates in those instances.
The technology doesn’t only exist, it has existed for years.
That it doesn’t exist in Guild Wars 2 is not a fluke. It’s a intentional design decision.
Most other mmos allow you to select the instance. Anet just doesn’t want to display how many instances there are.

You can get them from any of the veteran/champion npcs in wvw. Your best bet is to go camp and sentry flipping – I swear I used to get more spoons when I was on my own or in a small group compared to when I was running with a zerg.
I think it can drop anywhere in WvW. Whats funny is the drop rate though. I’ve had probably 20 drop since HOT, I sell them as I receive them, some of my guildies who hoard them have not received a single drop since HOT.
They don’t drop any more once you’ve completed the spoon collection. Another way in which HoT shattered our dreams.
These guys haven’t completed the collection they just hoard siege commander spoons.

we are not all that good even if we followed his advice we still wouldn’t be good enough to carry teams against better opposition.
So… isn’t the point here to get better..?
No…their point is they want a first place trophy for finishing 37th.
No we don’t.
Oh really? Do you think you’re a legendary tiered player?
No, I know I’m not but I don’t want a legendary trophy. I want the backpack but thats not a trophy for making legendary. And anyway playing ranked has improved my game but I won’t ever be a pro player.

There have been many many complaints about this quest not just 1 or 2 isolated players. So, your sarcasm isn’t warranted.
Sorry, let me put this in perspective. Hundreds of thousands of players have completed this… But by all means the issue you are having over MONTHS must be an Anet issue. I’m sure all these other issues regarding “I can’t complete this mechanic therefore it is bugged” are soooooo true. It’s easier to complain rather than figure out where you’re going wrong. Thanks for your opinion though.
I personally had an issue with the updrafts. Then I discovered you needed to either hop from a slightly higher location or get a running start. Nearly caused me a death. Still 1-shot that underpowered boss though. What’s my point? If it’s not working, try something else. Gliders never open on even ground.

Same posters, same QQ about being “stuck” in low divisions. Welcome to your skill caps. Sorry the math isn’t holding your hand with easily exploitable work-arounds. You are in the division you are in, not progressing, because you JUST AREN’T THAT GOOD. How do you think those above you got better and progressed?

I love how every QQ post seems to come from people struggling to get past emerald/sapphire. Maybe, the new MMR is working perfectly, and it’s cases of operator error. Time to interpret the tea leaves, and accept that you have reached your skill cap. Take the lumps, improve, and either start winning matches, or try again next season.
It is not your right to ding legendary. Earn it, or stop complaining it’s beyond your skill level.

- the MMR of average/bad players shouldn’t be lowered as much when losing against a team of a significantly higher MMR
I can confirm that the Ranked matchmaking system already works this way, and worked this way for Season 1 as well. The matches in which you lose against opponents that are much higher rated than you do not adjust your MMR significantly.
How much higher?

That’s your incorrect “view” of what it should be, clearly not what it is as envisioned by anet. The ultimate goal is WvW, not “fights”. My goal, if you’re attacking my objective – is to STOP you from taking it, by ANY means necessary. Siege included.
Its up to anet to judge whats appropriate for the game mode but it is bleeding players in part due to the overpowered nature of what was introduced in HOT which mainly revolved around siege (banners etc).
As for ACs they may be marginally less powerful than they were a year ago but they are much more powerful than they were at launch. Plus they clearly reach spots they should be able to if you look strictly at LOS. So yeah they are still OP to the detriment of the mode.
I thought everyone left because of the new map. Not because of banners. They nerfed banners and they are not really a problem anymore. I’ve yet to die to an airstrike and been in a few of them. You can hear it coming a mile away. Chilling fog while annoying, you can just back off and wait for it to stop. Its not like they can be spammed as they have a timer. I wish we never got any of that but it is here and it looks like it is not going anywhere.
The thing is everyone has their own reason why they leave. Everyone has their own things they like or dislike. We all seem to have different ideas on what we want. I think we got a bunch of things that came from some of the crazy ideas some people have suggested over time. I don’t like direction the game is headed. I’ve said what I had to say about what I disliked and that’s all I can really do. Even after all that I still seem to play more hours than I should.
Game mode has been bleeding players way before HoT even came into the picture.
Don’t forget, he’s just nit-picking. I’m sure there will come a point where he wont even be able to remember what he has/hasn’t said! LOLZ

MMR is designed this way: first help the best (legendary) players to climb, after that the good players ruby/diamond, and so on.. so if you are an emerald player, you will get good matches in about April, and you will advance somehow to sapphire/ruby, until then learn to play better!

I want the game to have some fun even you lose. I believe losing a pipe creates frustration and make game less interest.
This is one of those design choices where I wonder whether they know anything about game design at all. Making players feel as bad as this does is just the worst design you can possibly imagine.
The grind and up and down nature of the pip system, the way players are jerked around emotionally makes me hate GW2 spvp. Once all the achievements are completed I will not want to look at spvp ever again I’ll be so sick of it.

1. This isn’t a prediction but a reported financial result. On it being unaudited this would have been the result taken from the annual report for audit so being unaudited is almost irrelevant. If it wasn’t it would be a false statement and there would be legal repercussions.
You definitely don’t work in finance. This is just not true at all. Companies do many things, legal but sketchy, and accounting is not black and white just like economics findings are not “right and wrong”. Model and method are everything and you would be surprised what tales you can weave by postponing this or recognizing that in a crafty way.
I would say the same about you, I work in accounting, so I know about public company reporting requirements and the requirements regarding public information that may affect markets.
Regardless, despite the assertions to the contrary, prima facie the figures are bad wouldn’t they do the opposite if they wanted to use unaudited figures to make themselves look good.

No matter how much you or anyone else QQ’s, rest assured, WvW will not “die”. It may “die” to you, as you quit, but it will not die from the game…
Of course because you and your 2 friends that are " rolling the DBL" are willing to step up and financially support the game to make up for the thousands of players that were buying thousands of gold a month that have left since HoT came out right?
LOL you are from T1 and you claim this? Do you even still play? Last reset ALL 4 MAPS were queued on T1 for several hours. Maybe you didn’t have 4 maps queued but that’s because you usually k-train it up in EBG.
The YB experience is not the experience of the other servers. If the game largely dies on other servers and you are still there fighting doors most of the time is it still alive?

This is good information, I’m not happy with the content and the excuses for why things are broken but at least there letting us know whats going on.
The issue with over scope is a fundamental mistake beginners make in project planning and I cannot believe a company of Anets caliber fell into this trap. I hope Stephen is the right person to fix it, time will tell…
Time and time again Anet’s project planning has been shown to be very poor in general, embarrassingly so for a company with such a successful game. And it comes back to those at the top.

No thanks, I like the added bonus of having objectives and siege. It’s so much better when it’s not JUST about players fighting. That extra element of ‘objectives’ and siege make it that much more fun, interesting and challenging.
Only the hardcore GvGers want to play without siege. Its not about removing siege its about making it not be overpowering against players. Like I said above RvR gameplay is about sieging objectives then fighting once the objective is breached.
They complain about siege in towers because they are not really hardcore GvG’ers but k-trainers in disguise that want to take easy objectives..
I think you’re talking at cross purposes to what I said, hardcore gvgers fight open field only and I’m not sure any exist any more in WvW. Complaining about overwhelming siege doesn’t necessarily mean they want a k train but rather a fight over the objective.
You can fight over the objectives by taking out the siege first. I never get the complaints about siege since as far as I can see every server uses it. Some just do it better than others. There are ways to counter it but most would rather just not deal with it..
There are places to put siege that can’t be hit.

Lot’s of comments here that border on pure stupidity. A couple of notes:
1. Daewoo aren’t good at predicting anything related to GW2. This was already stated in another comment before me
2. If the expansion was a failure why are they making another one?! have you even considered that?!
3. 300 000 units wouldn’t be bad, considering most MMOs out there have considerably less monthly players than 300 000/

There’s nothing wrong with the new maps, I actually personally really like them! Them being deserted isn’t anet’s fault, from what I’ve seen it’s too many lazy players:
The issues have been well documented by now if you disagree with specific criticisms then state qwhy rather than just an all encompassing assertion that theres nothing wrong.
The proof is in the pudding the new maps and the HOT changes have driven away players in exponentially increasing numbers.
I too wish they would post more here but lets be real for a second.. The good post are flooded with arguments or overlooked because you have to weed through post after post and thread after thread of nothing but constant complaints. So many new threads created on the same topic and even some threads are created to talk about a topic in another thread.

So where do you fight 40 vs 40 with battlefield formations, flank squads, focused guild raid builds and party compositions for different strategies at then? Oh yea.. that is what a large scale PvP game mode such as RvR is supposed to be for.
Confirmed. JQ doesn’t run less than 40

Arrow carts needs to be nerfed or removed permanently. You don’t need 10 arrow carts when you outnumbered your opponents 5 or 10 to 1. There are servers, I meant server that puts up 10 arrow carts and have a blob of 50+ fighting 20. This fighting style helps kill WvW faster than the horrible maps Anet implemented.
WvW is SUPPOSED to be about siege battles >.< (QQ moar)
Siege battles are meant to be siege against objectives and other siege, followed up by large player battles once the objective is breached, not siege being overpowered against players making battles boring press 1 fests. WvW began to devolve and lose players when the power of ACs was dramatically increased.

Since Anet is working on server population balance, it might be useful to the developer to read some the old discussions we had here, so that they could to see the Pros and the Cons from the community’s point of view and maybe take some of the suggestions and try them out.
Do you seriously think they haven’t formulated a solution already? The overhaul has been in development for over a year reportedly, some aspects are about to be released as a beta. We’ve discussed population issues before and they have undoubtedly used those discussions in the solution. Whether they drew the right conclusions or not is another thing.

The unprecedented amount of forum post about the now obvious problems of the matchmaking system is a clear signal that something wrong is happening here…
However, ANET decides to stay silent… which promotes even more dissension, rage and ultimately less players.
They did talk about PvP in the Reddit AMA a couple of days ago. The primary thing that came out of it is that they are aware of the matchmaking problems and are working on it.

Another note
To the players saying “my current league position doesnt reflect where i should be” ok….no duh. We are only like a 3rd of the way through the season. If you hit a brick wall, STOP PLAYING. Why are you people trying to rush so fast?
If you really believe in this “bad mmr spiral” then why are you DELIBERATELY throwing yourselves into it when your on a losing streak? Every time i start getting bad matches over and over i STOP. No point queueing into the same bad matchups, and theres no point rushing directly to your final standing in the league only to have hour long queues when all your trying to do is your daily matches.
Ill say it again, all i see is entitlement and a want for instant gratification
+1
Probably another thing that should’ve been mentioned, stop queuing past the 4th loss. Bad matchups, you’re frustrated and not playing well, not focused, lots of stuff goes into it. I always take a break if I get a few bad matches in a row.
This bull*. So the response to the broken matchmaking is, stop playing and try again later? Let’s not fix things, just avoid problems or abuse them.
No abuse required, one could simply stop playing for a couple of days and wait for higher MMR players to go out of reach while lower MMR players move up. This will increase the chances of you being on the higher end of MMR within that pip range.
This was meant to happen after 1 week, still hasn’t happened after almost 2. This is a theory that doesn’t work out in practice in all probability because there are always higher level players moving through the ranks. Opposing teams have to be matched by mmr.

Why do people use this argument to belittle those who complain about matchmaking?
This kind of logic would make sense in games like LoL or Dota because in those games, when you get kills, you progressively get stronger due to item purchases. That means yes, one person can solo wipe the enemy team because they are exponentially stronger in terms of stats than the enemy.
This is parallel to EoTM or WvW, where level 80s (+/- elite specs) can solo wipe rally bots up-levels.
But it doesn’t work for PvP, where your stats are constant. Even if you get a kill, you won’t be able to kill them faster in the next encounter.
To carry, you should be able to play 1v2 and win? Again, it’s easier in LoL to double kill than it is in GW2. You both have the same number distribution of stats, so even if you play perfectly (which would award you a win in a 1v1 situation not counting class counters), in a 1v2 situation, your enemy must play worse than you. It gets increasingly hard to 1v3, 1v4, and nearly impossible to 1v5.
Say you can 1v2, that means you now rely on your teammates to win the 4v3. That’s not carrying at all, that means you need to have competent teammates.
Not to mention not having competent enemies who can also 1v2.
Then how do you explain LordHelseth winning non stop with low mmr account? He did that, twice with two different low mmr account already to prove his point.
I don’t watch twitch streams. I would have to watch the videos to make a comment, and I don’t intend on watching hours of stream.
There are other factors to in this scenario. Did he communicate with his teammates? Did his teammates know he was smurfing? How many of his teammates were following his direction? A chicken with a head will run straighter than a headless chicken.
Did he 1v3? 1v4? 1v5? Even if he is a professional player, I doubt he could 1v5, maybe even 1v3.
Secondly, using an outlier like a professional player to try and reject the average is simply bad statistics.
Yep spot on similar to what I said above. He’s a pro player apart from all the other factors involved maybe he can carry on a low mmr account but he’s still one of the best players in the game, the players affected by the matchmaking are mainly average players. They aren’t equal.

Helseth is really speaking very good points here. I have no idea why you folks bash him, (his persona)
He’s actually not (and I like Helseth). He is a pro league player good enough to win a WTS, thats why he can carry, we are not all that good even if we followed his advice we still wouldn’t be good enough to carry teams against better opposition.

this may be a good thing, considering gw1 did after all start in Mike Obrien’s apartment with a small team…, and i’m sure running the company took him away from a lot of hands on time with the game itself – especially when you are knee deep in administration stuff.
this may be what gw2 needed to get back on track
Remember Mike O’Brien was the one who stated players aren’t interested in WvW only.
Can you stop whining about this already?
They have metrics, they know what people do in their game. YOU don’t. All he said in the video is that the majority of the player base is PvX, and this is generally true. Most of us play all game modes. (Well I used to, now I just login for rewards.)
WvW players are forced into PvE because WvW isn’t self sufficient unlike PvP.

We still intend to eventually bring back the Alpine Borderlands map, but it’s not as simple as just toggling it back on.

What is it about the pvp ranked season that is causing matches to be so lob-sided? I have played many competitive games from MOBA’s to shooters to fighters, but this games matchmaking system seems to be the worst I have ever seen.
Its because teams are only matched based on pip range. The assumption seemed to be that players of similar levels would settle into a pip range but as with most assumptions it has turned out wrong. Almost 2 weeks into the season and I’m still mostly getting lopsided matches.
