Leaderboard is fascinating

if this is correct why Ostricheggs has 14 games won 1 lost and he has 9 points?

lets asume for every win +1 makes 14 points. For 1 loss -3 is 11 not 9

Is it because Ostricheggs is esports?

Hmm, that is interesting. I’ll look into this.

You swap toons in game, you get penalized for it. I know he’s one of those players that don’t just play 1 particular profession. Like that one game where he played ele and we lost because he should have been engineer.

The developers cant make the perfect matchmaking system as long as people keep swapping out there professions.
You see games where you got too many of one thing on your team? Most likely due to people swapping out for a different profession.
Also, I hate it when people swap mid game because it gives the illusion that they ragequit and results in the team losing confidence and by the time the person that swapped professions comes back, your already down by a lot, going to take a lot of effort and luck to stage the comeback.

Has it been confirmed that dishonor is turned ON? Is it still OFF?
They need to turn that kitten on, they need to stop there useless data collection while its off and turn that kitten on period.

That is one of the major reasons why there are games xv5 and people leaving and ragequitting. Whatever data that indicates its not is a bunch of baloney, nothing but interviewer bias aka bias data to make it look like it isn’t.
Edit: See pic, its from 2 weeks ago, him playing friggin ele. You don’t play ele when enemy team is ranged dps focused (3 rangers), you go on engineer and counter those mofo’s, think he was that celestial bunker too, well 3 rangers counter that build. Those were spirit ranger builds too. Engineer AE range dps knock out all those spirits, but nope, went an ele which is difficult to take out all spirits.

Point is, he probably swaps (he didn’t swap in this game) in game and I’m pretty sure or would hope that is a factor in the leaderboard.

Now for that leaderboard, only person I recognize is Relic Hellfire, that dude been playing forever.

I like this new leaderboard, because I know some of those preppy popular kids, they only play at odd hours to make it seem like they good by playing against a bunch of newbies and with the old leaderboard system if you newbie farmed and got wins you’d look good. Than the most funny thing ever is when they come to forums and boast to make there egos better by saying “I won a billion games but not going anywhere. Well ya play at odd hours and play against newbs, I sure hope you go no where”

I hardly EVER see games where I’m with a few good players and we are fighting against good players, its always this stacked team vs newbies.

I myself, play whenever, I don’t check the friends list to see when all the good players are not playing and not play at that time because it will make me look bad, I just play the game and let it happen. Theres a lot of good players out there that don’t do #esports, well I haven’t seen them on any of those #esports. All I see on the #esports are the same rerunned players, not saying they bad, but just saying its same people over and over.

I’m glad this new leaderboard system is more based off actual rating and not like the old leaderboard system where you win a game you go up a set amount of points. Tired of leaderboard being top ranked with inactive newbie farming preppies.

I hardly see any of those preppies in game, but those other players, I see them a lot, and I’m glad they are getting more noticed and rewarded.

I like shorter que’s because you cant really do anything in hotm anyways.
There should be a playerbase rating system added tho. Like if the entire losing team knows they lost because of that one or two players on the enemy team, they should be able to flag them or give them stars like 5 stars, indicating don’t put me against that player because I’m a 2 star playing and shouldn’t be facing any 5 star players.

Be a good way to show skill level too by having the community rank players based off there skills.

Obviously if you have someone hating on you and give you 1 star and your good… Guess what your going to be owning newbs and if they know any better they’d give you 5 stars so you stop owning them and go back facing good players. Each person should only be able influence your rating once and they should be able to change it too. Playerbase rating should be some portion of the MMR decision. Good way to promote PvP too, especially if you let PvE and WvW’ers see your rating.

You know how PvE you get a star by your name for world completion?
How about some type of skill indicator by the community on your name tag as well?
How about for WvW a skill indicator by the community on your name tag as well?

Obviously if you got all 3 you a master of GW2, if they do something like this and this would be something people would strive for. Because PvP’ers that PvE star does have some meaning to them so obviously if you have other things like a 5 star PvP indicator on your name tag PvE and WvW’ers will get jealous and play PvP.

Be cool to see who rated you as well. Like if a good player rates you good than it’ll make you feel good inside, or if they rate you bad it means you got to try harder. Creates rivalries.

I’m looking forward to this in a good way.
I like the new leaderboard philosophy.
Also, dishonor is going to be turned on too am I right? No more people dc’ing because they know they lost and know theres no punishment therefore leave the game.

I know some people when they know they lost the game they want to just outright leave. But its poor sportsmanship. In a basketball game if your down 30 to 90, you don’t see those players on the losing team just throw the game, they play till the end and shake hands. That’s good sportsmanship, unlike what you see currently in GW2. GW2 its, I’m down 250+ points… Ragequit time.

Hopefully less 4v5 and uneven games due to dishonor being turned ON. FINALLY!

Funny,

In another thread when I was telling a new player about GW2…

I mentioned that, this game rewards people with big pockets as in, if your rich and buy gems you get the best gear in the game.

However traditionally MMORPGs are the other way as in, those who played for a long time and actually play the game, get the best gear in the game and being rich wont make you the best player in the game.

I been playing for a long time too, hardly have a full set of exotics and not even a legendary and no precursor drop ever as well.

I saw a thread on grinding for a mini, funny thing was… Why grind for that when you can grind gold faster another way and buy the mini rather than letting RNG play its thing, because like many of you guys, RNG isn’t very nice and grinding for a mini is a waste of time when you can be doing another grind that gets you the gold to buy it and possibly buy another one from all those hours spent.

Necros are really good in this game. Once you’ve killed enough enemies and have a large army your pretty much unstoppable in PvE unless you fight champions or higher.

Also, its good that your playing norn, they are big and thus have bigger range, especially good for melee classes.

If you was to go elementalist I’d suggest asura over slyvari they are smarter so there magic deals more damage.

A lot of speedruns are done with warriors so its a good thing your going warrior. Some dungeons like CoF P1 only require 1 Mesmer and 4 warriors for fastest run time, so you shouldn’t have any issues finding a group as a warrior.

One new thing to GW2 is jumping puzzles, bigger races do them better because they jump higher and they harder to fall due to them being bigger.

Don’t be concerned with size of race in PvE though, but in PvP and WvW a lot of people like to go small race just so they hard to click on. Bigger races are better in PvE. Better view, better range, jump higher, bigger is better.

Thing to note, engineers are pretty dull in PvE, I’d say most useless class in PvE but in PvP they are most dominating.

Funny fact, turret engies are really strong in PvP (real players have issues fighting turrets), but in PvE turret engies are weak (monsters go through your turrets like they paper).

I also had an issue with connecting my GW to GW2, never been resolved, and I hope someone helps you with that.

Oh and this game is kinda like D3, buy best gear off tp. No farming or grinding involved. I’d buy only magic gear that way you can resell if you are money conscious, exotic gear at 80 and after that don’t have to worry about upgrading unless you plan to play for a very long time where you can afford ascended gear (rich people gear, cant grind this gear out, if you got big pockets you can be the best, rewarding players playing game isn’t the thing here, been playing very long time, no legendaries, rich people… several legendaries… see theme here???)

Anyways, have fun GW2 is a great game, the pvp here you can jump right in and don’t have to worry about your gear and other things so give it a try as well… Also you can get exotic lvl 80 weapon easily through pvp as well and easy way to get transmute stones and other things very good reward system.

One last thing, for builds goto, http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki its pretty legit. (Doesn’t have any Skyhammer builds tho!)

Enjoy your GW2 experience!

They use to be somewhat similar by showing your rank and your opponents rank. But the community must like seeing less information so it got removed.

The video you posted is the same videos the EU shoutcasters posted days before you guys. Wheres the videos of the Chinese teams?

BTW. NA only won because EU doesn’t know how to rotate. EU players are clearly better by looking at how the games went, by them dominating but then eventually they get out of rotation and fail the matchup, Temple of Silent Storms is a perfect example.

I give credit to those people who like to post ‘Lemme teach you how to rotate type threads’. Probably not enough of them on the EU forums.

this isnt GW1, different engine completely. no comparison.

LoL doesn’t allow it, pretty sure WoW doesn’t allow it.

Everyone likes to talk about how great GW1 was and how it was more esports than GW2, yet it didn’t allow character swapping.

WTS didn’t have people character swapping.

Leaderboards Issue

Posted by: uberkingkong.8041

uberkingkong.8041

Last night I won 1 game and lost 2 points, and I never disconnected. Does character swapping before the match starts award maximum point loss or was this a bug?

I believe this might be the case. I only started losing points when I started swapping characters at the beginning of a match….

Ready-check button fixed the 4v5 problem that solo queue had. so they remove solo queue and add dishonor. You like switching character depending on matchups and maps? You like that extra layer of complexity to a somewhat stale conquest only pvp game mode? You like to switch out of characters that the entire enemy team sometimes just happens to counter? Well anet says kitten you.

GW1 if I recall, did not allow you to ‘swap characters’ during a match.
If you went IWAY and they had something that countered IWAY…. Tough luck.

Played 2 games today. LOST kittening both of them.

Not by 100 or 200 points.

But by 300+ points.

Stupid system, I’m done again for the day. I got better things to do than LOSE matches all day long.

I’m not repeating that 17 losses in a row. Such waste of time. I have over 3k+ games played, shouldn’t be on losing streaks.

They promised that a year ago when Grouch was doing his SotG, I think it was around the Spirit Watch time, some developer suggested that ‘would having it so you can save a template of your build and switch to another make you like this map more?’

Something like that was said, and the answer was yes. I aint got no time to go through all of the sotg to show proof of it but its there.

Sadly they didn’t follow through.

People care more about them making Skyhammer more friendly rather than them use time wisely and make a build template like your describing.

People tend to want more maps, but then want it deleted. But when it comes to stuff that actually makes game better and doesn’t involve ‘delete xyz map, etc’ people tend not to encourage (by commenting) the pvp templates. However do encourage more (by comments) removal of maps, hatred towards maps, etc.

Btw, I do encourage this idea, and have brought it up several times, nothing has happened.

I remember when I brought it up to them and took like a 7 month break or so and came back and saw a new tab called pvp build, I was sure they finally did the templates…
Disappointed as usual, just another way to do what you already do in the hero screen. Such waste of time.

System still broke

First game I play now that weekend has started.
Quick run down.
Game does its matchmaking thing, for people to ready up.

9 checkmarks are selected.
Timer goes away.
Map selection begins.
Match ready up 4 of us on team
Game begins 4 of us on team.

Problem. System registered only 9 people and still began the game.
Analysis. Angry customer. System is STILL broken. People working the system aren’t under enough pressure to FIX there kitten. When population declines CONSIDERABLY and profits decline CONSIDERABLY that’s when they’ll fix it, but timing is everything.
Fix your kitten too late, doesn’t even matter anymore.
Nobody cares you fixed your stuff 2 months later. All they remember is that it takes you TWO MONTHS to fix kitten.

All you have right now are BRAND LOYAL players, once all the people who are LOYAL leave, you have nothing. All those potential players most likely tired of your slacking and left to better games. You can notice it by the lack of players in the pvp community.

GW2 PvP developers need to start working with SERIOUS URGENCY because leaving stuff broken isn’t going to help you grow, and if you didn’t know by now.

This game never ceases to amaze me. I come back in hopes of good games, everything has been fixed by now….. First game, crap game. Most customers leave after crap like that. Like I said, all you have now is loyal players, we will dwindle away if things don’t get fixed.

You know what they say “people can only put up with it so long…..”

(Game time is there, go into your system, figure out what bugged, and fix it)

Edit: Matter of fact, I’m not even going to play another tpvp game, that really kittened me off, and I got better things to do than waste my time getting angry at your broken tpvp.

I was doing more thinking, and had a thought that since a lot of people know dishonor is turned off, maybe he intentionally didn’t join the game or whatever if he did accept, he wasn’t in game at start and never showed up entire match. Dishonor needs to be turned on, I don’t care if people have bad connections, they need to stop playing then because that bad connection or whatever excuse period, costed me and 3 other players a loss and left all 4 of us frustrated because of it. You really want to make 1 guy happy that he can dc whenever and thus in turn cause 4 people to be angry? That’s a stupid approach.
I’m done, I might play later but tonight that’s it, no more of this crap. Not in the mood to play the game normally and take screenshots of more crap I expect because lately I’ve been seeing a lot of crap happen in this game and its come to the point where I expect the game to be crappy.

Do you as a developer like to know your game is crap constantly by the community?
Do you like to be referred to as, take months, years to fix kitten by the community?
If I was a developer I sure would do something about it to change how the community thought of me.

Especially when the issues are not of the gameplay as in Skyhammer/Courtyard sucks. But when the issues are, 4v5, bad matchmaking, duo que.
Other issues, ‘when is the tournament going to be on youtube’

I’m seeing a consistency here, leaving system issues unchecked, dragged out too long before a fix. Also, tournaments being interrupted (we got such and such, so cant air it anymore, woops such and such happened, lost the videos). I’m not no big twitch fan, but I never heard of games like StarCraft and LoL make excuses like ‘our biggest final tournament… got ping bombed, sorry cant air anymore… we lost the videos due to xyz’.

I don’t even remember when you guys said when you’d do your dishonor turn on kitten, but yall need to stop waiting and turn that kitten on. Yall wait too kitten much, that’s your problem serious. ‘Just wait it out guys, we need to see xyz of leaderboards first, so keep waiting. just wait out the matchmaking, we need to see xyz, keep on waiting on, keep on waiting guys we need to see bunch of complex algorithms before we turn on dishonor, keep on waiting it will be out sooon!’.

Again, see screenshot, game registered 9 people (I know because I counted checkmarks (9) and watched timer), 1 guy realized 4v5 left immediately after game started became 3v5, I just said kitten it and pathetic 0 500 loss, not because of skills, but because bad system. No enforcement on system. No punishment system, that guy that left, wouldn’t have mattered anyways because we still lose but the fact that he left knowing that he wouldn’t get punished, goes to show how lax leaving a ranked match is and how that’s not good for the game.

#done
no more proof of stupid stuff happening cuz I aint playing anymore today, sick of crap after crap. Funny how when I went on that 17 game losing streak of being just sore luck with everything possible, I lasted that long to keep playing, but now just 1 piece of crap, the very first game, and I’m done. #done

Ranked que is going to die out,
Theres no reason to do it, and unranked gives you everything ranked does.
Champ title, 1500 points. There’s no leaderboard so no reason to even rank que anyways. Why even bother when unranked gives out the same rewards too.

That system they had on launch day, was pretty good, too bad they deleted the good stuff.
Tournaments, require tournament tickets. Tournaments are worth being in.

Dude wtf is this?

From 30 second que to 20 min que and still going.
I aint no top tier player, I shouldn’t be waiting 20 mins for a decently made game. Plenty of other people around my skill level, should be no reason why I have to wait this long, and the match is probably going to be bad anyways.

Seriously though, what data did you come up with that gave you the conclusion to go from 30 second que’s to 20+ min que’s?

Obviously bad data, your market researcher needs to redue his research and get the right data to you folks.

Also, there should be something in hotm where I can make money, besides playing tp.
There should be mini games in hotm while people wait. Pretty dang bored just waiting for someone to sell me something so I can flip it.

Just found out that unranked gives you 1500 points (same as ranked), goes towards champ title (same as ranked). Why kitten you even have ranked, especially when theres no leaderboards?

Yall just trying to get someone who is feeling like pvp to wait in que for 34 mins and then go back to pve??? You sure aint going to increase the pvp population that way.

So silly, the unranked games do same as ranked games, just two different instances and tabs to split up the population. No wonder why que times are high, because some people stuck in ranked like me and didn’t even know unranked gave same rewards.

Do your stupid hidden leaderboard on the unranked and just don’t rank it, why even have two tabs right now. Just makes community angry.

After the match starts if your chest is still open it’ll be gone.
Happend to me twice..
Missing two Caudecus armor boxes.. annoying :/
I know I won’t get my chests back, this is more of a warning to others.

Oh wow, you really did same mistake twice?

I think I would know some other people who did something similar but not in that nature too. (making the same mistake twice, hint hint WTS).

Hope you get your Caudecus armor boxes, I mean if you made the mistake and then waited until you finished another reward track and went through several other stuff but just to make the mistake again on the final chest, well by golly, its not your fault.

Hurrdurr

Could you put a sock in it? There was no kind of attack on the equipment – the Chinese ISP was simply extremely limited given what everyone in the building was putting it through.

With that in mind, can you stop huffing and puffing? Maybe delete your post.

Well, if they didn’t have any issues, I wouldn’t be kittened off.
Well, if the marketing team got there message out properly I wouldn’t be kittened off.
When the marketing sends out some message to inform people, but nobody is informed, that means they did it wrong. They failed. They could’ve spent millions of $$$ on informing, but they didn’t get to the masses of people they intended for.
Even when someone who is LOOKING FORWARD to the WTS, activity participates on the forums, trying to keep up with the WTS, misses it because he wasn’t informed (me), than that marketer failed at his marketing campaign.

I’ll give you some notes mr./mrs. marketer, that spot where you put the WTS, that’s a spot people ignore. People see that spot as spam. I’m sure a lot of people are used to seeing LS bullkitten in that spot, so they don’t even look at it anymore. Be sure to jot that down for research notes. Mailing it to a person is better way to communicate. Having the person forced to open the mail and a quick message of the tournament to get there attention and you can put all that other jibberish to get them to watch like llama and gem giveaways. That’s a better way to communicate, than hiding it in the spam/ junk messages spot. I even asked people the day of, the day when the WTS happened, whats going on? Is the WTS today. NOBODY KNEW. I asked people in tpvp game, people in hotm. NOBODY KNEW. That’s how your campaign went, however amount of $$$ you spent, well NOBODY KNEW about it.

Normally you guys get what, under 3k viewers on main twitch stream. That’s not esports material, not even having the twitch up because ddos attack is worse.

If they didn’t get ddos attack then whoever instigated that idea riled me up. Still unacceptable to not have the main twitch be down to such nonsense.

I imagine that the actual site the WTS was a success, but the online, the E part of the #esports, failed horribly, or so it seems just by looking at FACTS and CLAIMS.

I remember a year ago, when I partied up I’d have good chances at facing premades, and those people we faced did get tougher. I think toughest premade my premade fought was Karmy and Joshua S team, beat them first time than had 3 more matches in a row against them and lost the other 3.

Anyways, point is, its very sad how you pummeled people and won all your games, and yet you didn’t even face a premade.

If you want a game to goto the #esports level, there has to be a lot more teams playing than just your team and abjured.

Sure, there are other teams out there, but they aint active, none of them were against your team. I like this matchmaking because sooner or later people will start asking other people to party up with them, its just going to take a while to get out of the ’don’t play with others’ mindset that GW2 instilled on people with the introduction of solo que.

Before you could solo, it was always the system that was bad, not that there needed to be a separate que.

Really sad how theres wasn’t any good teams you faced. Like Kirito, Stunningstyles, Marvin, Karmy, Joshua S, bunch other people too surprised they didn’t even go up against you, or if they was even there, they are pretty good players.

Very sad how no parties faced you, that’s very bad for the community that a small/ fraction percentage of players party together, and that’s not good for #esports as well.

By no means, should they force you to party up, but it should be strongly encouraged to do so.

Ah, here are screenhots of our matches tonight, as you can see THESE are blow outs, I left none out.

Oh and we were waiting in 9min + queues

Oh wow, yup those are defiantly blowouts, that first one you showed too, actually had some good players on it too, Raplion and Cruuk.

Basically what I got from your information is that matchmaking doesn’t work, unless they recently changed something, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Better-Matching-Today-for-Avg-player/first#post4610315

Also, that you go in as a premade and you faced, I believe all of them were solo que’ers. Also, believe that you are really up in the MMR and there wasn’t even another premade or even anybody worth mentioning besides those 2 I mentioned.

I think what was happening and has happened before is that the system only calculates who is registering currently.

The system needs to calculate other teams playing at the moment, and wait for those teams to finish up there match and give it some time like 1-3 mins to see if that team that finished the match if they will que again and put those teams together.

The system currently feels like you que, it wants to get you into a match super fast, nothing but bad matchups currently, sets you up with bad matchup. A team that had potential to face the other team dominating finishes there game 5 mins later. The team that is dominating is still in there game, system only registers the dominating team and the randoms queing, sets up that team against bunch randoms, the other dominating team finishes, so on and so forth.

System needs to see who all is active, even those currently in the game. And predict that the people even in the game will que again and thus wait for them to finish for best possible matchup. If theres nobody even those in games worth fighting the dominating team, than just do your normal as fast as possible que because there isn’t nobody available worth fighting anyways.

As for my matches, they are blowouts, they weren’t overkill like your matches. My matches could’ve been legit too, but the matchmaking system didn’t put the people in the right teams to even it out for a close game. Your matches you clearly are better than those players and your quad que, it cant find people that’s good enough to face your a good quad que. You beat some good players Cruuk and Raplion, just goes to show how much of an impact having TS/Mumble/Ventrillo has on the game. Surprised this game doesn’t offer a free voice chat to communicate with your teammates and how you have to rely on those voice chats mentioned.

My matches, they weren’t to the point that the other team overkilled us that we had people ragequit. My matches we weren’t the best team it was a blowout all right, but we didn’t get completely overkilled where somebody gets super frustrated and leaves.
Like your matches, its like somebody seeing top players all on one team, no point in playing a stupid match like that.

Like I said before, if you guys didn’t party together, you’d have more good matches. But since all the good players play together, you don’t have any good matches, or hardly any good matches. I wouldn’t be surprised if they timed when they played to avoid playing against each other. All I see is a bunch of good players together killing newbs and wanting some publicity. Start queing when the other good players are queing. If you really do care about not winning but fair matches over not winning, than don’t make a full party, go kittening solo and face each other rather than playing with each other.

How did EU play cheese builds? They had different professions all over. NA on the other hand had 2 engineers, 2 eles, which is what people complain about. The people who play the game know that engineers are op, and that ele’s are op as well, but not as op as engineers.

NA 2 eles 2 eng 1 thief. Looks pretty cheesy
EU 1 of everything, looks normal to me.

Pretty sure NA would’ve went super cheesy, but they couldn’t find another engineer of skills capable for esports. Super cheesy as in 3 engineer team.

I’m noticing a lot of blowout matches, not necessarily courtyard.
These are my last 7 games or so. Wins by 250+.

Also, I didn’t exclude any matches, 7 straight blowouts.

Finishers

Would be extremely awesome if they gave out like x5 random finishers from stuff like pvp reward track rewards.

Theres some good finishers out there, but I want to get outfits, I want to make my legendary (played 2 years, no legendary), I want to do a bunch of stuff that requires gold.

Would just be dandy if you’d actually get finishers from PvP. Why they don’t do this I have no idea.

Like during Halloween event. You got the finishers via Halloween event, rather than in WvW or PvP where they are actually used.

Be nice if they had a finisher reward track every month. A monthly reward track. Heck if they gave outfits that would be the bomb too. People would actually pvp and increase the tpvp population.

Female Charr, they big and since they big they have wider range on there attacks. Also the weapons are bigger which increases range too.

Asura no good, too tiny not good range.

Think of it this way, your in a punching match, you watch to be the midget and have short arms, or you want to be the 7’ tall dude with massive arms?
Midget is never going to be able to get a hit on the tall dude because tall dude just keeps the midget’s strikes outta range but in range for his strikes the entire fight.
Edit, also the 7’ guy will land nothing but headshots and the midget will most likely be unable to even land a headshot if he could.

I am having close games in duo queue but the skill discrepency is just way too much.

I am playing with newbie players. That is the main and pretty much only issue I have had with matchmaking. I should never be in a game with random pve dudes. It should never ever happen.

The matchmaking needs to make close games. But it also needs to make the players in the game of similar skill level.

I feel like it is me and 4 60% ranked people. And I am vs 5 80% ranked people. My team dies everywhere and I have to carry hard to win just by a few points. But it isn’t satisfying gameplay as I am just rolling them and they are rolling my team mates. Result = not that good.

Whoa now, you got 4 people at 60% on leaderboards and 80% on leaderboards? That’s really low, you have to be extremely bad to get that low, like a 30% chance win rate or lower.

You have to also realize that theres not many people who are considered ‘good’ that can put up ‘good fights’.

You ever play a FPS game? Where its pretty much 1 guy dominating? Sometimes its like 3 or 4 guys dominating out of like 16+ players? The other people not dominating are like all closely together score wise but nowhere near the top. Its how competitive games work, some people are just too good. Rarely you’ll get a game where its nothing but good players.

Like lets look at NA. Say you got that team that won, abjured.
The only people worthy facing them probably Iuck, Davinci, Darth Vanquisher, Hman, and Zoose. Matter of fact, I bet that team right there would won abjured. Theres other good players out there, but for now, that’s my team that I think would put up good fights against abjured. And ya know what, chances of those guys playing together aint good, course they going to be complaining about matchmaking not working and playing against those ‘60% 80%’ers, because that all that’s leftover and available.

Also you have to realize, that most of those good players, play together.
How you going to get the matches you want if yall playing together?

You know how you talk about you duo queing? Well if ya didn’t duo que with your buddy who is most likely just as good as you, you’d be playing against him instead, but since you duo qued with him, you stuck with all the other people who are queing at that time. You keep checking your friendslist, keep queing with all those good players, stay partied, guess what theres no other good players to go against you unless they all magically login at same time and your partied up and now theres other good players online which means your going to have good matches now.

All has to do with whose online. And if you play with the other good players to eliminate tough matches which leads to good w/l ratio. if you party up with the good players which means you don’t face the good players, you will look much better on the leaderboard than having all those tough matches because you have to face them rather than being with them against all those newbies out there.

With medi guard, you don’t really have to use the mouse at all, just use tab and keyboard keys to move and press button for skills you use, little targeting involved, I think only targeting is scepter 2.

Mouse is mainly for looking around for me, and clicking on people, which is really hard to do when theres like 20 things on screen and all the minions surrounding players and all the people you don’t want to target are in your way of the person you want to target and so on.

But ya, give medi guardian a shot. Very easy and fun.

Necro has that 3 second death combo
Ele’s have a 3 second death combo

You got a single comment thread killer combo… That is amazing on it’s own…

Or are you going to enlighten everyone what these epic death combos are?

and for necro, play game when you get a game with boohda or I think little demise might play that kind of build (those 2 active people I seen), youll know it when it hits ya. Its just, if your not ready for it, you dead. To counter them, I know for necro, when you notice half your hp or 77% of your hp go away instantly and you have like 10 condi’s on you, that’s when it hit ya and if you cant do anything about it, you dead.

If you stand in a well or facetank the Lich…

And guess what! Warrior also has 3-second death combo!

If you’re a training golem, anything will do that combo on you tbh.

Nothing but a bunch of people trying to keep the ranged dps meta.

Well Brandon probably isn’t on the level as those I’ve seen. Wait till you get a match with Iuck. As for elementalists, like I said it takes a lot of skills to pull it off, which is why I don’t see it often and not sure how to counter it.

Its all about countering but it exists and if your on cooldowns to counter, your pretty much dead. Theres a lot of newbs out there too, don’t expect everyone to be able to counter a necro setting you up for 3 second death combo or an ele doing the same.

At least for ele and necro its like pretty much instant, you don’t see it coming until you notice your hp drops. While for warrior, when you see that bull charge or them rushing to you, its pretty much a given that you dodgeroll away from it. You don’t get the luxury that necro’s and ele’s have at setting you up for the death combo as in seeing emotions happening meaning oh hes going to corrupt my boons and then hes going to do some other crazy stuff.

Warriors cant just smash 5 buttons at once and watch peoples hp drop while ranged. They have to wait for the 100b to do its full rotation, they have to wait for the spinning charge to do its thing. They cant bull rush 100b spinning charge in split seconds on you.

Even if they could, they’d have to do some kind of immobilize or stun on you too, which they don’t get luxry like necro doing 3 second death combo, which includes a fear and if you try and survive it you get feared again and they got an extra fear just in case you think you awesome. Which if they good, which they are, they do it so your off the node and just watch you bleed out.

Warrior cant beat the crap outta ya and leave ya off node. Necro, Ranger, Engineer can do that. Elementalist can do it if well played and positioned, however not the 3 second death ele. Heck mesmers do that too.

Know whats the trend will all of them? Ranged DPS.

You see guardian and warrior. Cant do jack diddly squat because they melee players.
Probably why the NA team didn’t bother with guardian and warrior, engineer can do what both of them do best. Bunker the kitten and dps the kitten outta people and BETTER because they got knockbacks. You look at AH guardian, it cant really bunker kitten, if it goes against engineer its going to knock him off node eventually, guardian (AH) cant knock engineer off node. Engineer eventually wins, those classes I mentioned ranged dps classes, eventually win.

Oh you don’t know? Well in like 5 hours if nobody else shows you, I’ll look up videos on youtube and show you. I know I’ll find one for elementalist, but for necromancer might be harder because those people that play necromancer aren’t really that preppy and popular, like Zombify I don’t know if he streams or not, or if Iuck streams, I’m sure they know how to combo people to there deaths.

Just play the game and you’ll see once you play against a necro or ele that knows what they doing. Just look at zoose if you want the 3 second ele death combo, and for necro, play game when you get a game with boohda or I think little demise might play that kind of build (those 2 active people I seen), youll know it when it hits ya. Its just, if your not ready for it, you dead. To counter them, I know for necro, when you notice half your hp or 77% of your hp go away instantly and you have like 10 condi’s on you, that’s when it hit ya and if you cant do anything about it, you dead. For ele, I haven’t seen ele’s play at zoose level, so I don’t encounter that 3 second death combo, but its there, just takes a lot of skills to do it, I think to counter it though or know when its coming is when you have burning on you, never have the condi of burning while fighting an ele.

One thing I think I saw or heard about in the finals is how people would give up there nodes, I think it was NA doing that.

I’m not sure if EU does this, but a lot of NA games the good players will let the bad players decap the node, but since the meta is currently ranged rather than melee, that’s why and they will kill you as long as you cant attack them back, or not apply as much pressure back.

That’s why engineers and rangers are dominant in NA meta because all the good players do that kitten, very annoying too. Ranged attacks are too strong, they need to be toned down, melee attacks should be deadlier than ranged attacks.

Just thinking about ranged attacks.
Necro has that 3 second death combo
Ele’s have a 3 second death combo
Engineers have some wacko combo, not really fast but involves knocking you off the node on the ground while watching your health tick away.
Rangers just pew pew it away while doing same thing engineers do with that knock on the ground and watch your health tick away.

Now you look at MELEE damage, you don’t see no warrior making you die in 3 seconds. Its a lot harder to even melee people because everyone ranged and running away.
Thieves aren’t even that op either, sure they have some combos, but they’ll mostly be using that shortbow on you.

But look at the warrior and the guardian, no 3 second death combos or anywhere near that. They don’t even knock you off the node or anything, unlike necromancer fear off node and you die, and the ranger, and the engineer.

Celestial amulets? Who gives a kitten, that’s not doing anything to the game, its the ranged meta, engineer meta.

Never heard somebody say, oh we lost, celestial amulet people.
I’ve heard a lot of people say, kitten turrets, engineers op (its not really the turrets, well it can be, that immobilize and those heals.)

This is the best pvp patch ever. Much balance , such thinking , very ANET!

Now that’s what I call a RAAAAAAAAAGEQUIT!

Someone just needs to get a recorder and watch the emotions of the people who RAAAAAAAGEQUIT, might go viral!

GW2 should manual setup games, so that those twitch streamers get into a team with a bunch of newbs and set them up against a bunch of experts and watch there twitch stream of that guy RAAAAAAAAAGING.

Like one of those preppy popular kid streams, should set him up with a bad matchup if he solo ques. Force all his teammates to the duo que and force them to accept leaving him all by himself vs 5 experts. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! Game after game too, in order to intensify the RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! That’s how you get viral videos!

WoW is most notable for that viral video of the leeroy jekins raid. All it takes is 1 viral video to greatly promote a game.

Had 3 players on my side clicking yes… (Yesterday)
Btw. The game was already a sure loss. Do you get a new game if you click yes?

Don’t worry, they don’t work for the military, even though its DAY 4 of there system being broke, they don’t work weekends so don’t expect anything.

Those who work in the military, even on there off days, if something major breaks, they get called back in. Get paid like a ten cents an hour because they are owned by the government 24/7, they get criticized and bossed around all day too (you call that clean? go clean again for 2 hours, swab that floor AGAIN). They don’t live luxuriously like these developers do.

I’d consider this issue somewhere between minor and major issue. The thing is you will get unhappy consumers, and after repeat crying wolf about the matchmaking being so awesome, those unhappy consumers don’t bother coming back.

You may not see a major drop, but as everyone says, its the small things that count. If your population is on a small decrease your not in a good position now are you?

Don’t worry though, they all still coming back from China… They couldn’t resolve the ddos attacks at that MAJOR event, if you think they let a MAJOR event get disrupted than just think about how an issue like this would be handled by them.

Also, this is pretty much a monopoly, theres no other game like this around, theres no rush to fix your issues, you aint going nowhere. Aint like this is CoD and you don’t want to lose people due to bad games and have those people go play BF instead.

IF GW2 was to have ANY competition, it would be Diablo 3, if they decided they want a piece of the #esports market. I could see Diablo 3 easily being turned into a game like GW2.

edit, funny that game is F2P too, but when I played it that game sucked, was way too easy due to tp, but thinking about GW2, this game is pretty easy too, get best items through tp. I’m soo used to traditional MMO where you gotta evolve and go through long kitten progressions and what not to get best gear and camp named’s spawn locations to acquire those gear and RNG on named spawn, and RNG on them dropping your kitten = long kitten hours/days, but in GW2 and Diablo3, just goto TP and you win.

Toker, mains thief
Chaith, mains engi
Wakkey, mains ele/warrior (His first class was ele)
Phanta, mains ele
OEggs, mains engi

Tage, mains guard
Helseth, mains mesmer
Rom, mains warrior
Sizer, mains thief
Denshee, mains ele

They all played what they enjoyed playing.

Thing is,
NA team played on different teams before, and played on different teams before. Like phataram he didn’t play with all those people through his competitive career.

NA teams changes based on meta. Like I said, if warrior is the meta rather than engineer meta. Guess what, one of those engineers would go and be replaced by someone like Hman. Phanta use to play with supcutie, but due to Mesmer not being meta, supcutie isn’t on that team.

Game is unbalanced and this shows that.
Shows that engineers need to be toned down, don’t use stupid excuse like celestial ammy as your scapegoat, the real issue is engineers NEED toning down.

I don’t play any game and say “oh I lost that fight because he had a celestial, I KNOW I lost that fight because that engineer hasn’t been toned down appropriately yet”

Ya I agree about que time, its way too fast.
I didn’t mind waiting a lil bit with that old system, this new system its BAM. not ready in 10 seconds? again BAM.

If its really the case where all you good players are winning a lot of games, than there matchmaking system isn’t even working because you should already be considered a good player and be facing other good players. If they allow people who haven’t played to be considered good players they did it wrong. People who haven’t played should be considered 90-95% on leaderboards.

Also, going with getting people to party up. They should encourage those games with premade of 2 or 3 people to be with solo players rather than with a premade of 3 or 2 people (so 3 1 1 1 vs 2 1 1 1 1 or 2 1 1 1 vs 2 1 1 1 or 3 1 1 1 vs 3 1 1 1, because that’s how you get into parties, if that group thought you was worth it, they invite you to party up.

You see those people winning games, they are people who party with others in PvP. People just need to get out of that solo que all day mindset. Those who party will see more success.

This is good, because this game could use a lot more people playing cooperatively rather than I solo everything. Partying up means you might make a friend, and playing with friends makes games more fun. Playing with guildies you like make games fun. Things that are more social see more success. Look at facebook vs myspace. Myspace was like a solo site, you make your page look good and that’s about it. Facebook, you post status, everybody sees it and object is to keep commenting and liking other people, rather than Myspace where focus is just keep trying to make yourself look good. Facebook you make friends and you talk to them. Myspace you just try and make your friends list look as big as possible, to make yourself look good.

I don’t know if your stomping players because your on a team, but I think the issue now is that teams are playing against solo players too often, which leads to mass amounts of people losing, and nothing but the same people winning.

Hard to tell because people say they stomp players and they play ranked games, but they don’t say if they went solo or into the que as a party. everyone knows the people that went in as solo lost, but the winners of 80%+ games… No clue if they went solo.

O kitten me dude. This is NOT THE ISSUE. Seriously stop saying this. It doesn’t matter if I am duo queue vs these noname pve ers. I will win 500-0 and it won’t be fun in the slightest. It is nothing to do with solo vs team.

Basically ask anyone who is a top 100 type player and they will tell you the matchmaking is non-existent and every game they win.

See, told yall. Being in a party seriously increases your chances, I know this because with the system that was before the team and solo que, I noticed huge increase in win % by being with another person and continually adding other good players.

I by no means want them to go back to that crappy solo que, team que. But this is why you have few people winning and lots of people losing. People just don’t realize it. People aren’t used to asking good players to party up with them. Just takes some time, also if they reset the MMR, that’s another reason why. Eventually it’ll be back where it was in the system previous of the solo que team que system, where you would not likely face a premade until you got on the leaderboards or close to being on the leaderboards.

People just need some time to adapt by sending whispers to get a party going, get better chances at winning, you know the drill.

Well to be fair it did take some time for the old matchmaking to even out.
The matchmaking before the previous matchmaking, solo and team que together was pretty good. You’d get solo vs solo games for a good while till you started getting serious on leaderboard is when you’d get put against premades.

This system, hard to tell, but everybody makes it seem like people who are 80s or 90s% are facing people on good spot on leaderboard. Now that’s pretty messed up. I have no problem facing premades, but I don’t want to face them with a bunch of newbies, 80%’ers, unless its some random premade, not one of those serious premades.
