Guild Wars 2

I’ve met a couple of people that don’t know this keybind exists… It alerts allies if you’re looking for assistance, help killing a target or help finishing a downed enemy

None of the options do what I’m requesting. I want an instant ground target cast option that goes to where my mouse cursor was when I pressed the skill.

Edit: Wow… Just unchecked Allow Skill Retargeting and it makes it so instant doesnt change mid cast…. Is this a bug?

I think instant should cause the ground targeted skill to land where you first aim it.

Currently, it will go to the spot your cursor is at once the cast time has finished. This isn’t an issue with instant ground target skills like Leap of Faith, but for skills like Symbol of Energy it is.

Or maybe just create a new Ground Targeting option.

There’s a reason Monk’s Focus does what it does… The traits used to be separate…

Or at least hide their names

In PvP, Guardian, Mesmer, Warrior and Rev have uses for shield

I hope to join the 21:9 masterrace soon. Check out this guys videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/DeroirGaming/videos

He records in 21:9. You don’t have to make the video 16:9 for us.

If adding skill cuts is time intensive, I don’t think it’s worth it. Put that time somewhere else

You make some good points Shaogin. Personally, I don’t want to spend the time looking for/making a team. I never liked having to sync up with multiple people’s schedules. I just want to queue and play… I’d be happy if they split solo queue and team queue again.

I just tell myself I can do it. MM & MMR +/- suck, but I just keep trying my hardest. Also, blocking people that BM me helps a lot

Stand The Wall.6987:

maybe there aren’t that many players in the pool to begin with, so the matchmaking system grabs players usually outside of its normal parameters.

just maybe.

Not even maybe lol… This is a small kitten pool. Let’s call it a tub

Wargameur.6950:

We had “get rid of 5 man premade” not so long ago. I wonder what will happen when we will get rid of duo queue. Next thread will be “Solo queue = breaks matchmaking”

I think the issue is being able to queue with anyone in general

I agree. I think ranked should only be solo queue. People would definitely learn to carry their own weight

Hey man, I have more feedback for you.

Good job at making the video 60 fps. The resolution looks stretched out – it’s weird. Did you make it at a resolution higher than your screen’s? Good job with adding the skills used by you & against you as little cut outs. I can tell you’re really good at editing. You’re also zoomed in really close. Maybe zoom out a bit.

Is this still an issue?

For those of you that play using an ultrawide, what do you think of it? I’m thinking of buying a 34" 3440×1440 monitor. My main concern is there being an unexpected problem, such as “tiny text” or a buggy UI

I’ll try investigating this more, but from what I undestand your decayed rating doesn’t determine who you are matched against. So in theory, when you came back you were still playing against gold players. Your decayed rating only affects your leader board position and nothing else.

This is correct. Decay does not affect your matchmaking. With our current decay settings, you can work off your decay in 7 games.

Why does it seem that you gain/lose a lot more MMR when you have decay?

Saurrec.6402:

I’ve heard about those gaming mice, they do seem useful.

Razer Naga, Corsair Scimitar, Logitech G600, MX 3100… The list goes on.

I’m back to using scepter/FOCUS and sword/SHIELD. I had the offhand weapons reversed for a great duration this season, but I like s/f and s/sh more. Shield allows you to tank a lot more in melee range and focus really helps you kite with scepter… It’s just my preference

I’d give them that Revenant trait that steals HP when you hit an enemy from the side or behind… Hehehe

I agree with you. I thought I’d be able to play as much as I want and retain a high/good MMR. Boy was I wrong. I’ve had to work my butt off to grind my way back up. Life as a solo queuer is rough.

“Ladder Anxiety” is a main reason why a lot of people have alt accounts now

They just need to make it strictly solo queue. That way, players that would have otherwise been in a premade together have a chance of fighting one another

Man, people want DH to suck, rofl

Arcaedus.7290:

I have noticed that certain skills labeled with “destroys projectiles,” or “blocks projectiles,” still have the property to stop unblockable projectiles like mirror blade or deflecting shot.

Two patches ago, reaper’s 2 skill (death’s charge) could destroy deflecting shot but that was fixed. Currently (at least about 2-3 weeks ago, haven’t tested since then), thief’s utility skill smokescreen can destroy/block both deflecting shot and spear of justice.

Interesting… I think you should report those bugs!

ThatNAESLGuard.6238:

deflecting shot goes through zealots defense, AND gets bonus damage typically due to stopping the projectils that zealots defense does.

Thanks mane. Do you happen to know why it seems like lb #3 sometimes just goes through players? Like, it looks like it hit them, but it didn’t…

I think AMD has their own version of Shadowplay now….

I think Rune of the Lynx should give precision or ferocity instead of condition damage. I think condition damage was added as to not make the rune OP. I think the rune is great and balanced. It’s a much better option than Traveler’s or Speed runes.

I’m a little confused by what you said, but sword #3 isn’t a reflect. It just destroys projectiles. I’m not sure how lb #3 works on sword #3

Does sword #3 destroy longbow #3 (deflecting shot)?

I’d be okay with this if they made Hunter’s Verdict’s CD the same as Spear of Justice’s.

I think the current point distribution system needs to be changed. Let’s say you had 3 very good and 2 not so good players on the enemy team. Their average MMR may not be that high, but 3 of the players’ individual MMRs were pretty high. I think points gained/lost should be based on the person on the enemy team within your league bracket with the highest MMR…

BlaqueFyre.5678:

…they should show all players Mmr and the average of each team Mmr, because Visibility should be a priority to ensure the system functions properly

ANet kept our MMR a secret for 4 years… I hope they stop trying to hide things

This is how they solved the issue of long queue times. They made it so players of greatly different MMRs can easily end up in the same team… lawl

Let’s say your math is off. I still don’t believe GW2 has a big PvP population. It’s gotten to the point I recognize people in my matches -__-

I couldn’t imagine a regular Mesmer doing this lol

They did solve the issue of queue times, but at the cost of people potentially not having teammates remotely near their MMR x__X

Just won a game on the alt account I mentioned… Gained 7 points :|

That’s the issue then. It shouldn’t be like, “Oh, their average MMR is lower than your MMR, so you lose 25 MMR.” They could have some beasts on their team. I know my enemy team did…

Hi All,

Small rant. I feel like it’s too easy to lose MMR. I lost two games on my alt and went from 1900 to 1850. Does anyone else feel like the amount of MMR you lose is unreasonable?

This last point is wrong. All you need to do is watch any Legendary players stream on twitch to know that it is wrong.

The rest of the stuff you’ve got should definitely be considered but that last one…. nope. Just wrong.

After watching some streams, I believe those bad teammates are just trolling and losing on purpose. No one in Gold tier and above is clueless.

U are wrong, i get players that afk at close , when u can clearly see they have 3 far and 2 mid, still they just dont move from close.
Others insta die , i mean really insta die in 5 secs , and then every 30 seconds.
Others leave mid to go +1 a 2vs 1 vs a thief, means i look at the map and i see 3vs 1 a thief.
Ofc other times anet just puts 3 thievs vs 2 guads and a warrior.
If u join solo its just a lotary, it really is.

Wow you too now? Since when have you stop white knighting for the current season, ANet has gifted and pushed many actually PvPers from? But other then that. Yeah I agree. Tho I am wondering what made you change your opinion on the PvP league.

Hahaha! They’re all waking up now!

“You need to learn to carry.”
“You’re not as good as you think you are.”
“The system will sort itself out.”

These “pros” LECTURE us on how to “improve”, but once they get a taste of that bronze life they do a COMPLETE 180.

What HYPOCRISY.

I thought MM was awesome at first… Now I don’t. I think players should only be allowed to solo queue, unless ANet ensures that each team gets the same amount of duo queues… It’s wild out here!

Use that build for… what?

Hi All. I like decking out my small Asura with small sized weapons, because it fits him. I think there should be more small shields like Seraph Shield and Golden Wing Shield. I use scepter/shield, so seeing a giant shield and a small scepter is really weird xD. For now I use Golden Wing Shield. I like how more small focuses are being added. For example, Jailbroken. Thanks for reading!

I think the daze nerf was a step in the right direction, but I still feel like DH is too powerful.
Personally I feel like it’s because of their unblockable attacks also being their strongest attacks… which also have strong CC in them.

DH has one unblockable attack. Not multiple. Maybe you’re thinking about how Rev can make their next 2 attacks unblockable?

-Test of Faith trap
-F1
-bow #3

And all 3 can be used in combination to deal more damage

Haha, I competely forgot about ToF and LB #3. What part of ToF is unblockable? The initial trap activation or the “sword circle”?

This really is Carry Wars :/

I agree wholeheartedly yanniell.

I think they should have too. Duo queues have a strong control over the outcome of a match.

Feel free to share your own rants too.

Hi Everyone,

This is just an early morning rant. I really wish match making (MM) made it so both teams had to have at least one duo queue for the teams to be assembled. I really want to queue and play ranked matches, but I keep getting put against duos of good players while my team is full of solo queuers. Another thing, I don’t like how MM will give you players way below your MMR just to speed up the MM process. The other team may get one or two players below their highest MMR person, which seems good on paper, but it turns into a game of who can kill the other team’s lowbies first. It turns into a hectic situation when one team has more higher MMR players.

I enjoyed being able to solo queue seasons 1-4. I never felt that I got games that were this disproportionate. I don’t want easy wins. I want to solidify my MMR and have good games… My MMR has been all over the place since Season 5 began. I’ve been high up on the leaderboard, dead last on the leaderboard and in the middle. Right now I’m back at the middle. I read one post where someone said Season 5 is like anger management. I agree. I don’t get crazy angry (I never did). I just take it and move on.

I’m trying my best to learn better rotations and what I can do to carry my team. It’s not easy. It can actually get kind of depressing if I really try and fail. I won’t get depressed though.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.

You’re right, match quality is decreasing because a lot of people in the top 250 are trying to sit at their current MMR.

I think it’s wrong to say our top players have a few amount of games played. It’s been about a week and people have lives… 4 of the top 5 have over 50 games played already

Honestly, the top 5 have played a decent amount of games so far. It’s been a week…
