Guild Wars 2

matchmaking is broken I’m at 70% and rank 1 is on my team. They didn’t fix JACK kitten!

You guys like how BG destroys JQ and DB by over 100k points and then Jade Quarry advances to #2 best server and DB advances to #4 server.

While TC moved down and is facing T3 and T4 servers.

People will flock to you in PvE zones. A commander is not strictly for WvW.

i dont think that rating/hotjoin ruined pvp i think anet ruined the game themselves.

GG WP (Well put, hehe)

I’m in agreement with this as well.

I agree there needs to be a change with the rank system.

As of right now people don’t judge skill by rank, which it should be judged if your high rank you’re good.

This is a disgrace to developers at guild wars 2.

@Flumek, ha well that’s worse than me, and I notice that extremely unluckiness as well. They really have to do something against leavers because when I wasn’t playing against a premade and it was a solo que team, and you only have 4 people on your team or someone ragequit its very frustrating to have a fair game go wrong because 1 person got angry and ragequit, then your next game is unfair. That really makes me want to quit, I’m tired of unfair matchups and IT ISNT hard to fix.
- If you have 2 people r10 solo queing, you put 1 on each team. None of this one team gets shafted by r10s
- If you have 2 premades that are 3 people team and 2 people team make it so theres a 2 people team on one team and 3 people team on the other so its fair, none of this 2 team 3 team premade on same team vs random solo que.
- Just because 1 guy is rank 100 in your solo que team and everyone else is 60% doesn’t mean I should be facing rank 100 premades.
- If a leaderboard rank 10 team is que’d make other people 300 leaderboard ranks wait near him as well until a team is formed and if waited 10 mins and nothing, have them wait additional 5 mins while it finds the best premade to go against them. No solo que team should be facing a high ranking leaderboard team unless all solo que’rs are also high rank leaderboard players. Just because 1 guy is r100 doesn’t mean you have to drag 4 70% leaderboard solo ques with him to there deaths against an impossible team. Have the best premade available go against them, they are likely to learn something and put up a game rather than a solo que team getting triple capped crushed and sitting in spawn area because they aren’t coordinated and big skill difference between them, at some point you cannot learn anything because you die instantly due to coordinated team.

The biggest flaw I see with this system is that it likes to stack up one team and solo que team is left defenseless. You shouldn’t have 1 lone r40 on a team with people r20s and r10 while other team is complete r40s, it needs to even it out. The system needs to register not only leaderboard ranking, but in game ranking as well. Also needs to balance those 2 team 3 team 4 team premades, I don’t mind solo queing and being with premades, but I hate facing 2 or 3 premades and my team is all solo que.

@Stof Yes the game was a lot better with tournament tickets because it did a good job at keeping the inexperienced out of it. Also people cared a lot more about winning.

Pyriall.5027:

It’s a matter of resources. They don’t have enough programmers, because being fair and treating the two sides of the game with mutual respect is a bit draining on resources.

True, Guild Wars 2 is a successful company and has over a million subscribers, the thing is that in todays economy is that there is a lack of people with degrees in software engineering and computer programming , so therefore lack of coders and its very hard for game companies to get more coders and hence why coders make a lot of money. Its not that anet doesn’t have the money to hire more, its the fact that there is hardly anyone available for hire that meets the requirements.

Too many people are taking it safe in todays economy by going for easy degrees like accounting, marketing and IT field (a computer technician is different than a computer programmer).

Maybe in 6-10 years we will see more computer programmers and software engineers and see better games due to abundance of people in those fields but only time will tell. Its in human nature to always seek the safe, low risk and easiest route to success so its possible nothing will change.

Yeah there is skill involved in WvW. I was in a guild and they wanted to play WvW… 10 of us and the guild leader decides to place a catapult on the enemy keep walls… All I was saying to myself “for real dude, you going to siege a keep with 10 of us”, long story short we got fortified walls to 60% and enemy zerg came and destroyed us and I’m pretty sure they repaired the walls or just laughed and ran away.

Thing is, there is skill but you cannot take stuff like keeps with 10 man team unless your playing in some tier that zergs don’t exist. Especially if its a FORTIFIED KEEP as well LOL.

The best thing your guild can do if its 10 people or so would be to take a tower, now if its a fortified tower, I’d goto another borderland and look for one that isn’t. Because its fortified for a reason, which is, it will be defended, has been defended and chances are high that it will be defended by a zerg. Because people don’t just hand you there T3 towers.

WvW takes skill, there are DO’s and DONT’s in a lot of different situations, you just have to play for a long time to figure them out.

only reason why the guild I was in got fortified keep walls to 60% was because there zerg was distracted and it was in some random kitten spot, there wasn’t many of us so it was sneaky, until they found us. We built hella fast too!

Whats the point of going into a zerg if you cant kill any of them and if you cant be killed either? Your just wasting your time. Sooner or later if that thief is having fun hiding in your zerg and following you, hes going to get stunned snared and AoE’ed.

Thieves kittening suck at WvW, maybe you should stick with zerg that way thief cant try and get a cheap kill off of you.

Reason why they suck in WvW is because they run too much, you can only run so much in WvW that sooner or later you will have nothing to defend because you ran away from all fights.

Elementalist is hands down best profession for WvW, they can AoE walls, block treb shots, unlimited swiftness, AoE stuns.

A zerg of elementalist would destroy a zerg of thieves, that’s for sure.

Nope. Not that old to remember those. However I was around when…
PvP had paid tournaments.
PvP gave QP to winners of paid tournaments.
PvP had 8 team tournaments.

Unfortunately I wasn’t old enough to remember when pvp offered gems for winning tournaments.

But its an amazing step forward of where GW2 is now at today with all of its updates and tweaks. Its PvP game is very good now compared to the earlier days.

Well they shouldn’t be playing with rank 6 team. The system should work like this, YOU WIN you move up, YOU LOSE you move down, you don’t win or lose YOU STAY.

That is the worst possible system. It guarantees that every other week a T1 server is fighting a T3 server (#3 vs #7, best case scenario, #1 vs #9 in a perfect storm), and the like repeated in every tier – which is exactly what you are complaining about happening here randomly and only for one week at a time.

Did you even give 1 minutes thought to this before you complained?

Your theory only works if the servers are always constant and never changing. That is not the case with GW2 servers have issues and change often. SoS went from T1 to T3, JQ went from #1 to #3. You never know a bunch of guilds might move to ET and ET could become T1 #1 server. Like SoR but in less dramatic change. BG was #1 because a guild went there, now SoR is #1 because they have IRON that moved there. Things change, and it will never always be r3 T1 server moves to T2 and always wins, that will not ALWAYS happen.

If things never changed yes my theory would be bad, but GW2 is an ever changing game, you will always have interesting matchups if matched correctly. If matched wrong you will have what you see this week, nothing but 1 world dominating 2 other worlds by over 100k points. There is also no competition in this because its very random. In my theory of how it should be runned, maybe the T3 server winning facing that T1 server that is losing will decide “hey its you again, I’ve upped my game this time I’m winning”. However in a more likely scenario the T1 server that dropped and the T2 server that didn’t win will go neck to neck for advancement. As you can see Jade Quarry isn’t that far from Dragonbrand in terms of points, but it would be more of a good game if SoS was in that matchup besides Blackgate, because SoS isn’t too far off TC, I could tell that a JQ/DB/SoS game would have been a good one, with JQ winning of course, but it wouldn’t have been a 100k+ blowout and DB could have a chance to win if odds stacked against JQ. Right now JQ and DB are just getting points trying to hold stuff from BG taking everything, its a who can hold them better wins 2nd place and who cant places 3rd game right now in BG/JQ/DB. As with all those other blowout games, whoever holds there stuff better wins 2nd and that’s not very fun.

With current system its fingers crossed “I hope we are matched with servers 7 ranks below us so we get good WvW rewards all week and lots of bags” while other two worlds get angry with disgust because they are in no competition to the superpower server.

savov.3712:

So, as a top ~100 player I’ll give my feedback on the system(s) in question.
First a bit of a backstory – I’m mostly a “freelancer” spamming map chat with “lfg” massages. Made it to around 220 with map pug groups, then formed a team with 4 friends and (a week later) we peaked at rankings 75, 71, 95, 118(me) and 183.
Then, on the next day, the team gathered again and we started playing, first match we got matched and lost against 3 players from MiM and 2 from GANK (not sure if that was their tag), all of them around rankings 10 and 20 at the time. Immediately after that we won 3 (three) matches in a row (in the rankings range of 100-450 in both matches).
After one(!) lose (to much better ranked team) and then 3(!) wins, we… wait for it… dropped with 100+ positions!!! So, let me repeat, after a single lose and three wins I dropped from r118 to r175 ?!

Haven’t played tPvP since then… and not because I care for the ratings, just that I don’t like the idea of being “rewarded” in such a way….

Yup, I found out a long time ago that there is no hidden points, there system you go up a % and down a %. You win at certain rank on leader you gain certain % of rank.

And it don’t matter who you play against as well. Now I can only speak for up to rank 300 on leaderboard, I don’t know how crazy it is between 1-300 on leaderboards.

Snowreap.5174:

uberkingkong.8041:

Goto http://mos.millenium.org/na look at the scores, Blackgate dominating Jade Quarry by 100k points, and Dragonbrand by 150k points. I’ve never been disgusted by the scores like this before, and its only Wednesday. Theres only 3 matchups of WvW that are going good right now out of 8 total. 5 matchups of 8 are a TOTAL blowout BAD MATCHMAKING.

Seriously you guys need to get some expert advice in matchmaking because not only does WvW matchmaking worse than before the tPvP matchmaking is just as bad as well.

BG is the #2 ranked NA server, playing #3 ranked JQ. who do you expect Arenanet to match BG up against if not JQ? do you think the score would be closer if BG fought BP or GoM?

and the 3 “good” matchups are all ones that never would have been possible under the old matchup system. so the new system is an improvement, right?

-ken

Well they shouldn’t be playing with rank 6 team. The system should work like this, YOU WIN you move up, YOU LOSE you move down, you don’t win or lose YOU STAY.

None of this “lets pit a rank 7 world vs a rank 1 world” “oh the rank 7 world is losing by 130k points, I thought they’d do better than that”

“Lets pit the winner of T7 against the two losers of T8 for kicks” BWAHAHAHA they getting wooped by over 200k points.

Or pit a T5 server (Borlis Pass) against T7 servers. Your a 2 tier difference and higher in tier of course BP is going to stomp DR and HoD by 160k points. Theres only 3 matchups that are good right now and that’s because there isn’t any of this r1 world vs r7 world, they are good because they are closely ranked 9, 10, 11; 12, 17 15 (only oddball, lucky matchup); 20 18 16.

Both NA and EU have a lot of games where 1 WORLD is just dominating the other 2, and there is only ONE game on the EU side where 1 WORLD is getting DOMINATED by 2 worlds and its a race for 1st. Its best to have all 3 worlds racing for 1st but hard so its safer to have 2 worlds running for 1st and you failed with matchmaking when 1 world is dominating the other 2 by huge margin.

If you would have pitted BG SoR and TC together it would’ve been 2 servers trying to win rather than 1 server dominating. The very best world (#1) should NEVER have a worse face off than the 2nd best or 3rd best, RIGHT NOW IT DOES.

A good example of a good matchup is EU Elona Reach, Desolation and Baruch Bay.
A bad example of a good matchup is NA Borlis Pass, Henge of Denvari and Devona’s Rest.

But if you want to see how Henge of Denvari does against Devona’s Rest with someone destroying them and whose better and that’s your idea of good matchups then keep on keeping on. Maybe I’ll start to like these “lets see how these two servers do in this screnario” type matchups as well. Maybe I’ll start liking 1 server winning by 100-300k points while 2 other servers fight it out with only 100k points between each of them, because they just hold there keep and don’t show progress at all, while the superpower world racks up crazy amounts of points.

This current system its ONE world domination. This current system is the opposite of what it should be because 2 worlds are struggling for 2nd place, a good system is 2 servers struggling for 1st. Because aint nobody cares whose 2nd. Nobody remembers who placed 2nd in the Olympics or the struggle for 2nd. People remember the struggle for 1st.

If the NFL had a system where one team could dominate and automatically be claimed the winner or the #1, it wouldn’t get many viewers of people watching the fight of the 2nd and 3rd teams fighting for 2nd as it would for the 1st and 2nd teams going for 1st.

Another thing, servers that are winning by huge margin are going down in ranks due to bad matchups. SoR is destroying TC and SoS over 100k points just like BG destroying JQ and DB by over 100k points but SoR is LOWERING ranking points and DB is gaining ranking points. Because SoR is facing worse ranked worlds they LOSE rank faster. Everyone already knows SoR is rank 1 server right now but its being forced to RANK 2 due to the TERRIBLE matchups.

And you got SoS gaining rank points and its going to be a rank it shouldn’t be because its getting points getting its kitten wooped.

Is SoR suppose to be like GoM and woop ET and FC by 200k points to earn points? Your current system encourages servers that are higher ranking to woop servers they are against by 200k points to gain rank. That’s kittened up.

Borlis Pass and Fort Aspenwood are also losing rank even though they winning by 100k points…. According to this new system you gotta woop servers by 200k points because you go against worlds up to 8 ranks worse than you and when you do that you gotta win BIG you have to CRUSH worlds make life miserable for them. MAKE THEM WANT TO QUIT WvW because they getting owned so bad.

You wonder why ET and FC don’t do so good in WvW they been pitted against a team that wooped there kitten for months and with new system they still getting pitted against teams that woop there kitten I could understand why they don’t field as many numbers because if you get your kitten wooped every single day and week and month, why the heck would you play WvW instead of doing something constructive like CoF P1 runs or PvP for /rank or doing the living story.

I have to say I’m disgusted about how bad we are losing to Blackgate, a 100k point loss and its only Wednesday. Speechless.

DevonCarver.5370:

The concept of tiers has little meaning at this point and you should try to stop thinking of matchups in those terms. Servers are matched up by proximity of rating, not proximity of “tier”. If the tiers have ratings that are within the range of the random adjustment, they can end up fighting each other. This is going to result in blowouts, no doubt about it. However, we are not going to make changes to this after just 2 weeks of the system. There are things we can do. We will almost certainly end up adjusting the total added to each server rating to group the matchups a little more closely. First however, we need to let the ratings adjust by having more varied matchups like these. If you look at EU, which is using the exact same system, you can see matchups with numerous surprising results. The same will likely be true by the end of the NA matchup.

TL;DR: We are going to wait at least a couple more weeks before changing any of the math behind the new system, but it is very likely we’ll decrease the size of the variation at some point.

Goto http://mos.millenium.org/na look at the scores, Blackgate dominating Jade Quarry by 100k points, and Dragonbrand by 150k points. I’ve never been disgusted by the scores like this before, and its only Wednesday. Theres only 3 matchups of WvW that are going good right now out of 8 total. 5 matchups of 8 are a TOTAL blowout BAD MATCHMAKING.

Seriously you guys need to get some expert advice in matchmaking because not only does WvW matchmaking worse than before the tPvP matchmaking is just as bad as well.

People at anet need expert advice on matchmaking obviously they are doing it wrong over at anet headquarters. Because 5 matchups that are currently with 1 server winning by 100-200k lead is WAY WAY off of whakittens suppose to be and that’s 63% of being WAY WAY out of what your suppose to be and that’s just SAD.

Sirendor.1394:

Warrior is easy to play and it beats nearly every class in a 1v1 when playing it right, but that is true for nearly every class. If you’re a skilled player you win if your build is good.

Engineer is hardest imo. Ranger second hardest.

If you play engineer with flamethrow, grenades and bombs that would be hard as kitten to play, because you basically have more skills than an ele and you have to keep track of which kit is open. Although I don’t think anyone has tried to build a engineer off of those kits.

I have it at times as well, its server lag and I know because I seen someone disconnect when I had the lag spike.

You have to be careful, the rank 1 could be a rank 200 in WvW which makes him comparable to people on leaderboard.

So I thought you was talking about solo que, but it seems you want some GW2 draft for teams.

All I gotta say is this isn’t going to happen because people are going to play with who they want to play with, nobody wants to get drafted to some random team. In this game some people play multiple professions so if they change there profession buildup they don’t have to look for some new person. It aint hard to master 2 or more professions.

But if you did this with solo que, like you could see the people in your roster profession and if its some 5 team bullkitten thieves I wouldn’t mind kicking thieves out and asking for new profession to be on my solo que team. I’d love this for solo que option.

Ohhh yahhh I got r59 on my r10 team, I smell lots of winning coming!!!

Man that sucks, I’ve played 11 games yesterday and had leavers in 2 games. Both games it was people on my team as well because a big majority of the teams we were facing were premade and chances of someone leaving a game that they are in party with as well is like .1% chance.

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

They told this allrdy in 2 SOTG’s when ppl asked them.
But the pace you are working with is just frustrating.

Yup, especially when they could increase the glory reward and all they have to do is delete 200 then type 600 then press enter and click save.

BUT THAT kitten TAKES THEM MONTHS TO DO SIMPLIEST STUFF LOL.

As far as daily pvp tournament or monthly tournament, if you don’t have a template for a chest popping in middle of screen giving you a reward, goto the PvE community and burrow there template and BAM you got daily tournament reward!

BUT THAT kitten TOO COMPLICATED FOR THEM TO DO.

It aint like we asking for new maps or new armor and weapons, just a better reward system, SIMPLE fix but takes them FOREVER to do.

Now I been part of a lot of MMORPG communities and you know why theses easy changes never get implemented? Because 90% of the reason is whoever is the head honcho of the GW2 (not pvp but overall GW2) says “NO” or some bullkitten reason and stuff just never gets implemented because they cant get past him. The other 10% is due to laziness of the actual developers.

That’s why you see developers laugh and frown somewhat when you ask them stuff like “will we see something new? and whats the state on such and such” because they tried and want to fix it but the head honcho of the company DENIES them and they cant do kitten about it and all they can say to you is “we thinking about it; its in the process” (after I ask head honcho 60 more times I should be able to implement my fix on tournament rewards).

Thus, yes its very frustrating as the customer to have to wait FORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREVER for the simplest things.

Yup, I told ya they need a JP type PvP map. The dragonball map reminds me of Quake3. If there was a new shooter game that had quake playstyle, I sure wouldn’t be playing this game that’s for sure.

So sick of CoD, Halo, etc. I like those arena type shooters not those “your a soldier go get em games”

Game needs something called instability “unable to evade dodge or go invincible for x seconds”

Just like any other MMORPG, once you done everything you just grind the easiest thing to do. I do have to say that this is one of the easiest MMORPGs I’ve ever played. Runescape doesn’t count too, because that was never an official game, still feels like a random IT dude got bored and created a random game to me.

Yeah its still broken, I’m done with GW2 until they do another matchmaking update, tired of this premade vs solo que bullkitten and 4v5 bullkitten.

Escher.5342:

Personal is 33. They actually drop after 20. I have 40 Pristine Relics. One warhorn fractal skin and I have spent 20 Pristine’s on 2 rings. So in 60 runs, I have had one fractal skin. What a joke. If the devs won’t increase the drop rate, at least let me spend my relics on skins and/or earrings or amulets. Same argument for months now.

You haven’t got a ring after 20 fractals? Don’t blame ya because I haven’t been getting rings lately either and its starting to kitten me off as well.

Just goes to show that GW2 is nothing but a grindfest. If you don’t play a Mesmer or warrior your doing it wrong. All other professions are useless.

People think engy is hard to play because grenades requires you to click an area to throw, the radius is fairly big and the speed of the throw is fairly fast, its not hard to miss a grenade shot.

Try landing a dragon tooth, you tell me which one is harder.

As for hard class to play, I’d say a thief because positioning against someone that knows what your doing is harder to land a grenade.

So I decided to give GW2 a try after a 2 week break because they say they fixed matchmaking.
Well they DIDNT fix kitten.
Went on a 5 loss 1 win 1 loss 1 win 2 loss and 1 more loss against rank 143 premade team (I Ak)….. 8 losses and 2 win. You figure solo que is 50 50 chance, but the breakdown is (all my games I solo que’d):
Game1 solo vs premade (PvP) with 1 solo quer…. I LOST

Game2 solo que vs same premade (PvP) with 1 solo quer…. LOST again

Game3 solo que vs solo que 4v5 game, I LOST because MISSING ONE GUY

Game4 solo que vs full premade… I LOST

Game5 solo que vs same premade that’s been destroying my solo que games… I LOST AGAIN

Game6 I solo qued and got paired with (PvP) the solo que team that beat me previous 2 times vs 3 team premade with solo quers… WON

Game7 Solo que vs same premade I won against last game except the other 2 are premade as well (guild TT and LoL)… LOST

Game8 Solo que vs solo que…. I WON

Game9 Solo que vs solo que another 4v5 game…. I LOST

Game10 Solo que vs solo que…. I LOST

Game11 Rank 143 premade vs 71% solo que….. I LOST

While on 2 losing streak (also losing 8 games today out of 10) and then facing a rank 147 premade, its safe to say that Matchmaking is STILL BROKEN.

One of the biggest reasons why I lost 9 games and win 2 games? Facing the same kittening premade team, kittening 4v5 games. Only had 2 GAMES out of 11 that were solo que vs solo que and weren’t a 4v5 game.

They claim that they try to make it so you don’t lose so much? Hahaha funny kitten, I lost 9 games out of 11, that’s 18.2% win percentage (my overall leaderboard win % is 51.8%) but surely I will hurt from this. The only time my win % goes up is when I’m playing with my friends because like you see here, we face a lot of solo que’s and stomp them.

Also another thing, the advantage of the premade team against my solo que teams was that they had bunkers, my team had zero bunkers. So BAD BAD BAD matchups, if you solo que play a bunker to increase you chances of winning, I HAD ZERO bunkers all the games except the one when I was with the 4 team premade (PvP). 1 game of 11 with a BUNKER is sad, that’s why solo que has HUGE disadvantage against a premade.

The only thing I noticed is that I’m not super low on leaderboards so they have tweaked the % a bit, however not sure about how much you go up if you win… Because I didn’t win kitten today, have to see if its harder to go up as well. As always when I play solo que and make my rank look like kitten, they make it extremely hard to go up, because I was at 314-700 before I decided to solo que.

Matchmaking still broken and bad matchups happen 81% of the time while playing as solo que. Yes I had a game at 71% vs a rank 143 team

I wonder if there cursing in german or whatever language that is. Also wonder if GW2 filters bad german words, well if german language has any words similar to F word, B word, A word, N word.

milo.6942:

… what is Chase talking about? anyone know?

No idea, all I know is that out of my 2000 games of starcraft, I’ve never had a game where it was 3v4 because one of my teammates left. When people joined a game they played the ENTIRE game. The only reason why someone would leave is when the entire team knows “yup we lost”. StarCraft didn’t even claim to be esports, it was a game that had good balance and gameplay and ladder system it BECAME esports.

Now I come to GW2 which claims its esports, and what do I see right off the bad? A rank 2 guy on my solo que team and we are facing a premade team, oh someone isn’t here for the game as well, terrible gameplay because we are down 1 guy and the other team is destroying us, oh and I just lost 4% on leaderboard even though the other team is top 5 leaderboard ranked players. Terrible ladder system, doesn’t go off points, it goes off of percentages.

A game well made like star craft becomes ESPORTS, and a game that claims its esports… Wanna know what game is held often in korea for thousands to hundred thousands for the winners? Sure aint GW2, its STARCRAFT, yes millions of people watch people play starcraft.

I play GW2 for the MMO factor, but got into PvP, but I can tell you something, GW2 aint nowhere near esports. Time they get someplace near Esports new MMO’s will be released like TESO and new generation systems will be released like PS4 and everyone will be playing those games and systems over GW2.

You can talk all the smack you want about TESO but fact is elder scrolls has twice and over the fanbase as arenanet, people aren’t going to watch esports gw2 if they too involved in teso or the elder scrolls VI or playing the new gen PS4 games, Fall season and winter season is coming, and that’s when the best games are released because its NBA 2k14, WWE14, etc.

Looking at those pictures only tells me, you got a solo que team with a low rank player vs a premade. Now how the hell is solo que suppose to beat a premade if one or two of there players don’t even know how to play that well?

If it was Team 1 has a rank 5 and rank 40s vs a Team 2 with a rank 6 and rank 40s with both teams being solo que I could understand but a solo que with low rank vs premade aint nothing reasonable about that, its game already, that’s why you have people leave and quit.

Solo que shouldn’t be playing premade period. But if they have to, your current algorithm is unacceptable, there should be no reason why a low rank would be in a high ranked match.

As far as waiting goes, I’d rather wait till another high rank joins rather than have a low rank. Having a low rank join a high ranked match will just make everyone quit the game for the day, would you rather have 1 guy quit the game “the low rank” or have 5 people quit the game “the team with the low ranked”. Have 1 bad apple spoil all the other apples, or you just toss that bad apple out of there. Anet developers CHOSES 1 bad apple spoils all the other apples, that’s why people are flustered and quitting.

Can I get a score update please!!!!!

GW2, is getting dull now, that’s whats up with spvp now. I wouldn’t be surprised to see people quitting and going back to LoL if they all about esports, or going back to skyrim for the gameplay. A good indicator of how a game is doing is http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/topgames/ and by looking at the chart GW2 is slowly dropping ranking, which isn’t a surprised to me. They doing too many steps backwards and not enough steps forward. WvW is dying as well, so don’t just think spvp is dying, GW2 in general couldn’t make itself a big deal soon enough.

Sick of joining a hotjoin 17/20, I enter game and press random team and it forces me spectate because its 8v8 game.

Too many kittening 8v8 games, I know there are some servers that are 10v10 but who can tell.

All I gotta say is all servers should be 10v10, because if you want to spectate YOU spectate, none of this hidden 8v8 server bullkitten that you have to goto 7 servers just to find a server you can ACTUALLY PLAY ON.

I agree GW2 has the worst dungeons, theres no sense in direction, its all about knowing what to do. Because in other games dungeons you couldn’t skip half the mobs, because they had something that would summon you or were clearly faster than you, but in GW2 it encourages skipping half the content which I find pretty bs for a new player doing a dungeon.

Also as the dodge thing goes, its also mechanics, because you have several red circles around you, but its all about knowing which one of them is the REAL threat, which red circle will KO you in 1 hit. Because new players don’t know, they die.

You could be the best player, best at dodging, best gear in game, but if you don’t know dungeon mechanics, what mobs to run by, where to run to, how to exploit not getting hit, etc. YOU WILL DIE. Which is why I also think GW2 dungeons are terrible.

Quick score update.

Its only sunday guys, you can still double team DB and take the win.

1, because the competitive scene of WvW is gone in 2. Because when my server is suckin, people don’t say we are going to T2, they say there are no tiers.

Nobody will be considered the best server anymore, no more tiers with the new system. The complete e sports feeling is gone as well. I thought GW2 was suppose to be e sports, this new system is going the opposite direction of e sports.

This is like month or two old, but makes me laugh every time. Still the worst I’ve seen. lol

I’ve never played against sataar team as a premade, I’ve always played him as solo que. That’s why I laugh everytime I see him in top 5 because he’s clearly playing against solo que only to get there.

Another thing I laugh at is how we can post a million pics of rank 1s in high ranked solo que teams, YET ANET development team doesn’t do squat, its been over 2 months as well.

I’ve played with so many rank 10 and below and rank 1s in solo que, I don’t rage anymore, I just laugh and when people on my team start kittenin because we facing rank 40-60 team and our team has 2 rank 1s I laugh even harder.

All I gotta say is engy elixir gun needs a significant boost because nobody using it because it sucks period.

Warriors GS2 skill needs less loving. Its so overpowered that 99% warriors use GS and nothing else. And if you do use something other than GS your considered a newb and people look at you weird, especially if your using a rifle or pistols. If any profession is using a rifle or dual pistol all that says to me is guy is too scared to die so he just likes to shoot stuff and run away (road fighters), which is not an asset for a team in my mind.

grenades hard to land? lol. try landing dragon tooth, you tell me which one requires more skill to land.

Thanks to zoose guide, well mainly his ‘combo’ techniques, s/d ele is very enjoyable to play. Most other guides don’t give you combo’s, like with hgh engy, ostrich eggs never gave a combo that he uses a lot. I don’t know of any Mesmer combos, all I know is to land mind rack as often as I can. Thief combo? Caed never told us one, all I know is that you never keep pressing one till there hp is half, so…. what skills do I use then??

Anet makes things that are simple, complicated.

All anet needs to do is have the winners advance in tier, the world that placed 3rd drop a tier, and the 2nd placer stay in there tier.

But they make this complicated bad system instead.

Can I get score update please, just want to know how new matchmaking system is working.

can I get score update please, just wondering how the new WvW matchmaking system is going.

So I finally figured out GW2 has a support system, your not suppose to /bug this, your suppose to submit a ticket.

What they told me was how to disconnect reconnect my router, download gameadvisor here http://us.ncsoft.com/gameadvisor (I DIDNT DO). Then in second e-mail I was told
1: Go to Heart of the Mist.
2. Open Tournaments Window.
3. On the right bottom, you will see an “Roster” Option.
4. By clicking on it a new window will pop up, then click on “Disband”. After this you will be able to play tPvP again.
And all I was thinking was “kitten I played over 1000 tpvp games, I don’t need you to tell me how to do that, and in my ticket it said it DIDNT WORK, there was no option to disband either, the option was to LEAVE, and yes I tried that several times”

But I got into game and they disbanded me on there end, which is exactly what I been waiting for, for a while, but next time it happens or next time something is blocking you from doing something in GW2, USE support and not bug. They fixed it in less than 24 hours. I’m an IT and one of the worst things I hate about my job is when you KNOW its there end, but they keep telling you to do all this random stuff you already done, and when it comes right down to it, IT WAS THERE END ALL ALONG. Telling me to disconnect reconnect, haha that’s like telling someone in FoTM 48, you have to pick up crystal to absorb agony on maw.

Well issue is resolved, well for me that is, so you can lock thread. If its not resolved for you as well, submit a support ticket ask them to disband you from group on there end and tell them you already tried disbanding yourself and it doesn’t work, it should get resolved in 24 hours or less.

JonathanSharp.7094:

this is something that’s already in the plans.

Hooray

That’s all I wanted to hear.

They said that last month. Keywords “in the plans”, you didn’t hear “in the making”. Plans for 2013?Maybe… Plans for 2014? strong possibility.

These are perfect examples of a flaw in our matchmaking. We are aware of this issue have plans to address it. Thanks for the screenshots!
