Oh the people in this thread is truly sad. They keep trying to make excuses to convince themselve that it’s not their fault. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it’s part of human nature but its just sad to see.
I have never raided but this clearly proves what a joke raiding is in this game. At least in WoW it takes months to beat raids even for top guilds. Even then I don’t understand why anyone would take pride in raids. Anyone can beat the scripted static content with enough practice. Give me truly hard content with dynamic and opponents with brains and you got me interested.
Why do you even bother voicing an opinion on something you haven’t even tried yourself?
With minor tweaks all of the W1 raid bosses could be made significantly harder, the raw mechanics are challenging but coordination and linear timing of events makes Gors for example considerably easier than he should be, cutting down the time between AoEs, especially the first one which could make the no-updraft cheese significantly harder or near impossible.
Argue all you want but if someone can get to the end solo like 1 day after the release that says something about the raids.
And that is a really weak argument. If you had played as much as PvP as I have this would be really obvious to you.
Same posters, same QQ about being “stuck” in low divisions. Welcome to your skill caps. Sorry the math isn’t holding your hand with easily exploitable work-arounds. You are in the division you are in, not progressing, because you JUST AREN’T THAT GOOD. How do you think those above you got better and progressed? Took their lumps, lost games, invested their time/energy into improving their gameplay.
It is not your right to get legendary status, or gear. Either do what you need to get better, or get out. Stop whining about the same old kitten. The entire forum is swamped with the same 8 people complaining, again and again. Some of us are actually trying to read up on mechanics and strategy here, you know—doing what we must to improve.
Just to disclaim: I am t4-5 ruby depending on wins/losses during that session. I have had several 10 game + streaks. I have also had to ‘carry’ or eat pip losses. Take advantage of getting stomped, and try to learn something.
Your undeserved sense of entitlement is nauseating.
Is it me or every time you communicate it’s utterly aggressive and seeking to belittle?
I have the same rank you do and my experience is very different. I can definitely see a problem with how rating works and MM is using it and how some will have it harder or easier because of the system all other variables being equal. Getting success is no reason to be blind.
But what you failed to see was that people who claiming to have 5% win rate or 30 loss streaks are mostly excusing themselves. Think about it, if there are truly as many bad team mates as they claim to have then they will surely be matched against them, and occasinally enemy will have lower mmr, yet they still manage to lose.
High division? You know that everyone is within 15 pips of each other right? They were only a little higher than you but you had 2 duo-queues vs full solo queuers which should even it out if not give you a sizable advantage.
try again
this is a strange one , it should not happen that a full premade face pugs only, you should send that to evan, screen,date and time the match was held
yep, full soloq against full 5-man premade should not happen, so that one is suspicious.
I think he literally is lying and trying to fuse the argument. Probably a screenshot from last season.
If you seriously winning 1/20 games then I think there is something wrong with the way you play. I honestly don’t even believe you have 1/20 win rate ,you probably are just exaggerating to get attention .
He says he can carry a team of 5 people all by himself
That’s exactly opposite of what he was saying (and complaining about) last season. Since i don’t think he improved that much in that time, i can only guess that either he’s getting much better teammates now, or that he’s talking kitten.
He got legend last season too. Last season had many other problems outside of matchmaking, stop taking things out of context, the fact is he already tried multiple times to carry with low mmr account, if one person truly can’t carry then how do you explain that?
Here’s what I had to live with over the last few days:
-Thieves not decapping but rather rallybotting in mid fight like 10+ times in a match
-Warrior running straight to gates in legacy at beginning and opening them…. both of course… then starts rageing because he gets killed doing it… and runs back to do it again, pronouncing proudly that he carries because he keeps 2+ “busy” (for about 30 seconds until EP runs out and he bleeds out)
-Druid standing on hill to the sides of mid legacy, using staff1, staff2… all the time (probably thought he did good dmg there)
-Mesmers without portals
-Necro dieing to cleric tempest in under 2 minutes (I didnt even try killing him…. he just died)
-Bad builds like FT scrapper (scrapper! not old school non-hot account)
-Mindless mid running and insta dieing – too often to actually count professions… but necros seem to be those with most problems with tunnelvision
-AFK
Thats only the worst. I got those players at one point or another on my team. Sometimes only one… sometimes three. Only one every three games they are on enemy team.
Now tell me how to carry such bad decisions… and no 1v4 is actually not a solution, do the math please.
We have all been there, ill share 2 pics from today. Ive gotten to the point were the players i play against now are not losing quickly so it staking more time. I now can now no longer carry but depend on my team mates to be equally good. I will either get stuck in this division or slowly creep to the next.
Its a little odd to me that people believe they have a right to move up divisions. If people want to argue fun of the MM system, you have me beat. Yet many people post about how they cant carry scrubs or the people they play with are so bad. In my pics i am guessing these are players who could win there 1 vs 1 and sustain in lower divisions but unfortunately cant anymore vs better players.
Yeah sure because you are playing RIFLE!!? warrior.
You guys sound like people in mobas complaining about elo hell because they don’t realize that they are bad themselves.
If you insist on getting thrown onto the worse team because of your mmr consider this:
– Starting mmr is, according to an official post in another complaint thread, around ‘average’
- why did you start with low mmr in the first place?
- at one point i lost 7 games in a row in ruby and guess what. The matches actually got easier and not harder, because i was facing worse opponents
- from ones own point of view it might look as if one did well when inreality one is doing terribly. E.g. If you keep successfully +1ing fights that dont need the +1 (you are getting kills but you should actually be somewhere, where you are needed)
- your division last season and your former winrate mean absolutely nothing as the mm matched you against your own skill level. A terrible player could reach legendary by beating other terrible players.
They dont sound like it, this is exactly what this is.
Why do people use this argument to belittle those who complain about matchmaking?
This kind of logic would make sense in games like LoL or Dota because in those games, when you get kills, you progressively get stronger due to item purchases. That means yes, one person can solo wipe the enemy team because they are exponentially stronger in terms of stats than the enemy.
This is parallel to EoTM or WvW, where level 80s (+/- elite specs) can solo wipe rally bots up-levels.
But it doesn’t work for PvP, where your stats are constant. Even if you get a kill, you won’t be able to kill them faster in the next encounter.
To carry, you should be able to play 1v2 and win? Again, it’s easier in LoL to double kill than it is in GW2. You both have the same number distribution of stats, so even if you play perfectly (which would award you a win in a 1v1 situation not counting class counters), in a 1v2 situation, your enemy must play worse than you. It gets increasingly hard to 1v3, 1v4, and nearly impossible to 1v5.
Say you can 1v2, that means you now rely on your teammates to win the 4v3. That’s not carrying at all, that means you need to have competent teammates.
Not to mention not having competent enemies who can also 1v2.
Then how do you explain LordHelseth winning non stop with low mmr account? He did that, twice with two different low mmr account already to prove his point.
Can I have a vid and a proof of the account being low MMR while being used in the context of the current algorithm plz?

I mean at this age do people still care about verbal abuse on the internet? If you truly care then just block them. But I honestly couldnt care less when some random stranger on the internet talk trash to me.
What did people do to achieve that low mmr anyway? If they have a total of 40% win rate do you really think they are going to do good in ranked regardless of the system? If you have below 50% win rate you should be trying to improve your skill,build and rotation through unranked. Or are we talking about the people who purposefully tanked their mmr last season?
You know what on second thought, the extremely low mmr of certain people make sense now. They probably tanked their mmr last season and now started raging. Then you know what? good riddance Anet they deserved it.
HoT is not a fail. Can you just stop these complains/thread as if everyone got the same opinion as yours? Because it’s not even the case.
You can share your opnion but saying “HoT is such a fail” as title, when there are a lot of players that are still happy with it, is pretty annoying.
Wait, I dont understand what are you on about? Isn’t this happens in other pvp games as well like dota and lol? Isn’t quickly adapting the meta part of being pro?
Also how is this spit on pvper? Since when does pro players aka very small community equals the whole pvp player base?
Yeah, in vanilla gw2 jumping puzzles were an optional thing. Ever since HoT platforming has become necessary. It is an odious trend that I hope they stop soon.
lol? necessasry? who is forcing you to get the shoulder piece?
The thing is outfit looks all the same for all classes and armor set have heavy,light and medium. So if are going to count you got mutilply that 5 by 3 so we got 15 armor sets in HoT.
How does this has anything related to Heart of Thorn? Why do you feel the need to post this in the HoT section?
Also it’s optional grind dude, you know if you cant handle it then dont go for it. Plenty others will suck it up and get it eventually, if you can’t. Well except that you just not going to get it.
There are 20 Orphans in DR. I started out at 250 wrapped gifts. After spending an hour running around DR, I had 230 left. And I probably ran around that place a good 3 or 4 times.
Gifts can be given to orphans around DR. I guess that also means outside of DR. Though I can’t think of very many orphans outside of DR. It’s not like you can go to Rata Sum or Hoelbrak and find another 20 human orphans standing around.
There needs to be a better timer on these orphans or at least make it where we can turn these in bulk. I shudder to the thought of how long it could take to get rid of stacks of Wrapped Gifts.
Actually there are 24 found Orphan in DR, there is a thread on Reddit.
There are at least 17 Orphans in DR, I know right Horrific design indeed, I mean it took me 10 whole minutes to find all those orphans, 10 WHOLE MINS OMG ANET HOW DARE YOU.
Nop, 10000 times better than nightfury. Also this is kind of a pun Anet throw at us so I’ll just have some Wintersday spirit and suck it up. After all it’s a one time thing.
Getting top score does not mean jack cat. Just because you got top score in your team does not mean you are the best player in your team or you contribute the most.
Also what tier are you in, with higher tier your opponent are stronger. I soloq all the way to Sapphire 3 without much problem.
The thing is different crowd want different things, harcore players complaimed there were not enough hardcore content and casuals are happy with the gamw so they arent complaining. So Anet added hardcore which result in compelet oppisite, nothing can please everyone and we just have to accept that.
HoT is one of the only expansions to a game I actively play that made me play the game less.
HoT is the only expansion that has made me want to explore other mmos out there that I have been putting off for some time.
HoT was a bigger bust than even WoD imo. First few weeks were great, then I just logged in less and less. Not even sure why, just not really enjoying the expansion anymore.
Raids suck with all the class unbalanced
What? in pvp it’s a bit unbalanced I give you that, but for raid any class are viable in raid maybe except for theif, unbalanced my cat.
I go on LFG and literally all I see is “lf zerk herald”. Balanced my kitten. Not to mention I do main a thief and he is my only character with ascended. Wouldn’t be so bad if I could play the game and get new ascended gear, but I am not stepping foot in the silverwastes again for as long as I live.
First ascended gear are ACCOUNT bond, so play other classes? It’s unbalanced because you saw group looking for zerk herald, lol what? So groups can’t look for classes they need anymore, omg such unbalance. Fact is there are viable build for every class except for thief in raid, if you are too blind to accept that. Then fine but don’t go on forum and talk cat.
Lol that’s not the only reason I was merely throwing that in there to make a point. Zerk isn’t that great for an engi, you should be running condi gear on those if you want to actually make use of yourself in raids. Ranger is just… eeeeeh. Sure I could change the stats on the gear, however, my hard work to have a set of zerk gear that I would use for things outside of raids would be wasted.
Some classes are too much a drop from the “viable” (putting in quotation marks because other people use this word to describe less than optimal.) Say I want to do condi dps on my thief, sure I could play it if I had the gear and was lucky to have a group that didn’t laugh in my face, but I would be better off just playing an engi because the difference in damage and utility is just far too great. This is only an example of one scenario where this happens, but this is not the only case of this.
First, why you can’t play condi engi outside of raid? condi engi is pretty strong everywhere.
Second, so your “unbalanced” is that not every playstyle is available for every class? wow such unbalance, every class has an area they are useful at in raid and you can not expect every class to be able to do everything it’s just not possible. Tempest-support/tank,druid-healer/dps boost, revenant-dps/boon share,chrono-alacrity/quickness,engi-condi dps,berserker-condi dps, guard-tank/heal, reaper-support/dps, daredvil-venomshare.

And yet it lost to ESO for best MMO. How unfortunate :/
That being said HoT really is lacking content and a lot of stuff like the story or the fact that we got very few new skins ingame make it seem rushed. Still liking the game but as far as expansions are concerned Heavensward should have won by a country mile.
Nope, Heaven sword release(3.0) has no where near as much content as HoT, It has 3 maps(including a city), a few skills for each class no where near specs of hot of course and end game is still the same token grind.
It did however come with 3 new jobs/classes and a new race. Features, at this point, 10 new dungeons and 3 raids. Seems like more content than HoT to me.
If we are going down this route HoT also have 2 Guild Halls. Advantures, Mastery system, raid wing, pvp league, Stronghold , 4-5hours of voice acted story campian, dozen of collection and achivement. Better than FF14 rat race gear grind if you ask me.

lol, people in this forum are so entitled. pvp failed? really? There might be a few things broken but saying its a fail is just massive exaggration. MMR system could be out of place once in a while but nothing unplayable. They are working on fixes instead of dealing with angry forum mobs, there.
Have you ever thought that you are just bad at the game and have low mmr? I know this is crazy to you but.. you are probably bad at the game too if you get matched with newbies.
keep thinking that.
