Kako.1930 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 @Etheri5406 Pointing out the fallacies of the argument isn't pointless, but I'll play your game, since you seem to be escalating a bit for some reason. Valid points that support the OP: 1. Some top players have said they would return in duoq returns 2. The results of the forum poll are not accurate of what exclusively high-ranked pvpers think, and could include the opinions of players who either don't PvP or are lower ranked Valid points that oppose the OP: 1. It's possible that some players who are in the affected rank actually did vote against duoq. 2. It's possible that a duoq of 2 platinum players could still be put against gold and silver soloq players. Most of what has been posted has been opinionated garbage essentially, so finding valid points on either side of the argument is hard. This is all I could find. My advice would be to not get so worked up about it, though. If Anet really cared what only high ranked players thought, they would find a way to make their own high-ranked-only poll.

Blackari.2051 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 tbh, it is stupid to not have a duoQ back, but to answer your question: Imagine you have 2 players (A and B ) Player A is low silver rated player Player B is high plat rated player Player B goes duoQ with a friend who is in low-mid silver, they get a match and they are facing a team which player A is a member of. (cuz matchmaking and rate tanking with lower rated player) Now player A has to play against much more skilled player than he is and thus this is making his experience in ranked not so good. I know that this should be adressed by matchmaking, but still this problem could occure, so saying that it would not affect lower rated players is kinda ignorant. imo if you que as silver with someone from plat, both of you should get into matchmaking based on the higher rated player in the group, since you are willingly duo queing with higher rated player.

Let's take some examples. Anet nerfs loot at the start of HoT to rebalance it. The players cry out angrily; anet tho shall not nerf our loot! They then demand more replayability and rewards for their "difficult content". Short term great - more loot YAY. Except now the value of all that loot has dropped so low you end up grinding longer to get the same items. "Yeah but the items are cheaper". Yeah everything you sell is cheaper too. And gems aren't cheaper. Skins aren't much cheaper. Dyes aren't cheaper. Fixed gold costs like your griffon? Still not cheaper. And the money you gain from playing the game as you wish? Yeah; that's going down. Because the money you gain from hard-farms like istan and SW? That goes up. But hey, the community wanted more instant loots and more maps like istan and multiloot. And the community didn't like the economist or anything he did. And slowly, very slowly but surely those players will be the very ones who get fucked over. I don't lack money; I don't even know what to spend my money on... 3rd and 4th legendary armor sets or 320 inventory slots? I mean both are kinda useless because I have infinite ascended gear and perma bank access anyways... :trollface: You know who gets fucked? Anyone playing core maps instead of SW and istan. Anyone playing HoT maps instead of SW and istan. Anyone who still needs gems for character slots or bag slots or fashion or anything else. The grind required for them to get these items has drastically increased. Casuals who run around, explore and farm materials. Well, cya income. And the effect? The maps which are high in reward are played a lot; the maps which are low in rewards are played far far less and the overal enjoyment for everyone goes down as the game becomes more grindy - not because more or less rewards (the prices adjust accordingly ANYWAYS) but because they're completely inbalanced between maps / content. Desert map is an awful map because it has completely inbalanced PPT compared to alpine maps. It has an insanely negative effect on the population and overall balance through PPT in WvW; as it inbalances matchups further and allows servers to end up in matchups where they shouldn't be. But goodluck proving and explaining that when the #1 reddit reactions were "It looks great and i'm happy we got a new visually stunning map!". Yeah that's lovely, too bad it doesn't function. Nono, it gets even better. Portable cannons and repair hammers; gliding, tactics and other buffs to siege. "Anet please buff siege". At first sight it's amazing for PPT servers. They can finally defend against the attacking zergs; yay! Except where this just ensures you need an even larger zerg to press your advantage and take objectives. The result? Nobody attacks unless the enemy side stands no chance in defending; and rather than leading to more action in WvW the action in WvW overall stagnates while further population inbalance is promoted. Yay for high quality "game design" by the GW2 population. Come around 2 years later and guess what? "All these problems with population inbalance and anet has to fix them !!!". Yeah holy shit, you literally ASKED for half of them. Do you know what populism is? The majority of players in GW2 are just that : populists. They vote for what sounds best for them, the average user, without further insight. Great ideas that are easily explained and make sense, except where... they almost never work out. Populism has progressed to a derogatory term because of exactly that. And that's exactly how voting in GW2 works. Players with limited interests and understanding voting for popular ideas without having a clue what they're on about. So yes; unless they have further insight they should let the big bois talk. By all means, player feedback is useful to some extent. It can help find where problems lie and solutions do need to be found. But listening to the advice on how to manage / design / balance your game from casuals? A pretty crazy idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrielvon.7836 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I believe Anet have the numbers on their side, not your opinions but whether the removal of DuoQ is beneficial to the community as a whole or not.

This is how it already works. It makes it pretty difficult for the silver player who is teaming with his plat friend, if he really belongs in silver. The only time it's unfair for the other team is 2 plat players team up and the matchmaker has a hard time finding even matches for them, so they get a longer queue and get put against lower ranked people that way.

The other account... accidently might have lost games down to 1500 so I can duo with friends. I do think that for the competitiveness of the leaderboard; NOT having duo is beneficial. I seen the effect of high-end duoQ in NA. If you have 2 top 10 players duoq'ing, the game doesn't have any 2 players to match with that - anywhere, ever. So it just gives them 3 complete scrubs against 5 half-decent players; and in the end there's maybe 5 players playing the game and 5 players being farmed like crazy. Not exactly what I consider a "high quality game". At the same time... I'm seeing plenty of "ruthless" and "unyielding" legends sub 1600 just meming on random builds. And that is by all means their right; I am doing it too. Queues at 1550 are 2-3 minutes faster than those at 1650+ i'd say. It lets me duo and play whatever I like. But I don't think it's healthy for overall game, as many players do intentionally tank around 1600 (mostly by playing meme builds they either can't play or that don't work, occasionally by afk / trolling). Which is great and all, but it doesn't really promote the competitive atmosphere... outside the top 250. In fact it makes it drastically worse. @"Blackari.2051" said: > > tbh, it is stupid to not have a duoQ back, but to answer your question: > > > > Imagine you have 2 players (A and B ) > > Player A is low silver rated player > > Player B is high plat rated player > > > > Player B goes duoQ with a friend who is in low-mid silver, they get a match and they are facing a team which player A is a member of.

I mean what stops a bronze player from teaming up with a plat 1 player it would be just as unfair as for other division so then remove duoq once and for all or finally bring it back but wt*f is this This is also not true anymore, I think. It was true when anet was trying to make the full-casual friendly S1-S4 leaderboards; but in due time they realised that it was ABSOLUTELY FLAWED. Thank god for that. I think nowadays duo uses your average rating, increased by a (fixed?) amount for being duo. Say you're 1400 and 1600 rating; then it'll use those rating numbers and your game will be around 1500. I think -this is how glicko generally works and something anet also does with class stacking- that the rating is increased by a small amount for being duo. So your average rating would be maybe 1530. The fixed amount that is added is usually normalized to achieve 50% winrate between duo's and solo players, to account for the communication between both players.

Until they fix the matchmaker, low gold/high silver player's get stuck in matches with top players. > > They would also have two top 10 players on their team so it evens out. People are acting like silvers are getting matched up against pros frequently but this simply isn't the case. > > I don't think I've ever had or been matched up against a player below gold 2 since the seasons started. Even those are rare cases. they wouldn't. Typically it is two top ten vs a team of lower plats and golds. This works especially well in off hours. Queue and the match maker can't find anyone at their level so it keeps expanding the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but that tiny of a sampling, why would it encourage or defend. The number of respondents was too small to indicate anything. Even if all the people responding had voted the same way it would in inconclusive. 39 votes isn't a sampling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you subtract the clueless 90%, we're left with the desire of allegedly no less than 12 players to bring duo queue back. There are two polls there, I think you refer to the one but the OP was talking the plat one which has 39. Either way, 120 is also, too small a sampling compared to the larger base.

Most people who vote don't have any knowledge of PvP, nor are they affected by the thing they vote for. EVERYBODY is affected by duo queue regardless of rank, I'm getting really tired of this same false argument over and over What you're saying is factually incorrect, there's no debating this point.
