  1. My favorite is being repeatedly asked to get into your groups discord as if you’re missing out on some great convo, and you get in and they aren’t even talking to each other. It’s the lamest **** ever. It somehow feels MORE antisocial to be in a quiet discord than it does just typing in party chat. I’ve never heard anything in discord that wouldn’t be better served to be said in party chat. At least then I’m not cringing at the sound of some of the voices. No one sounds cool. Nobody is funny. Nothing of any particular value is ever said. There’s a few people I’d like to talk to just to pick their brain and ask how/why they are so much better than me but that’s about it
  2. Never heard of acdc and making song parodies on Internet forums is incredibly corny. I know I sound like a party popper with that, but god... I rolled my eyes so hard they almost didn’t come back. I know, I know... posting on an Internet forum based on an mmo about Star Wars, in the pvp section is about as uncool a thing as there can be. I’ll own that. But song parodies on said forum??? I’m drawing the literal line __________________________________________ I’m too cool for that. And you all should be too lol

    Whatever

    Wait... there’s a “Ranked Mafia”? Lmaoooo Imagine being that invested in this game in 2019
  4. The real irony is that this is the most popular thread in the pvp section. And the forum pvp here is better than the in game pvp.
  5. Honestly at this point I don’t even blame them. I’ve been playing mostly solo for YEARS! There’s nothing more noble or honorable about it. Nowadays it can actually be a soul crushing experience, to be doing 3-4x the damage of the next dps while taking twice the damage and getting killed 7-8 times, because you don’t have a pocket healer. It’s infuriating to be a damage sponge as a healer then at the end of the match no dps on your team even topped a million damage. At least a few years ago there were enough good players that even queueing solo you would get some on your team often enough to at least put up a fight against a premades. And maybe even join together and form a decent rag tag group of your own. I play maybe a day or two every two weeks, and when I do log in, nothing but tumbleweeds on my friends list. Just about everyone I knew abandoned this game. If you one of those people that still have a solid group to run with... count yourself as fortunate and go stomp the **** out of regs. I hope you are having a blast. Seriously
  6. You’ve come to the wrong place
  7. Problem with side strats is that most of the teams doing it suck and are actually trying to avoid pvping. 2-3 sometimes 4 go to the off node and fail to take it almost every time, the few that go mid hoping to not give away the most important node get obliterated, and very often the one who went to our natural node fails to call inc and loses it. And upon respawn you look at the map and see your teams color dots spread across all 3 nodes while the other team all rotate together. I wasn’t a gamer before this game came out but lately I’ve been enjoying playing console games, specifically the new Spider-Man game. Can’t believe I missed out all these years on the joys of playing alone and not having to deal with the stupidity of stuff like “side strats”

    Sorc Help

    Aside from the advice some already posted, just know that if a dps thinks you are vulnerable they will sit on you for the whole match. And even if you learn to kite, there’s always gonna be that one jugg/Mara/sin who will make it their life’s mission to kill you. When people say “learn to kite so good and eventually they’ll leave you alone.” just know that will almost never happen. I’ve kited for basically entire matches never dying once and ended with over 3 million damage taken. Some people are relentless, and it’s extremely annoying but that’s all in the game of playing sorc. If you are dps, unless the other team is Superbad expect to take about 1.2-1.5 million in damage, and about 3x that if you’re a healer. Now eventually you WILL get good enough that for most matches you’ll end with 1-2 deaths, but you are a soft target. And you will be treated as such
  9. We still caring about votes in 2018?!
  10. The fact that I knew immediately you were being sarcastic and yet... this theory probably makes the most sense in my mind, says a lot. Anyways I’m about done with this game and video games in general.
  11. Although I thoroughly enjoyed Doc’s snarky post... even after reading this entire thread I still don’t know wth is being talked about
  12. the way you explained it is exactly how I “thought” it should work How it has played out often is 1 silver (me) getting grouped with 1 bronze and 6 woods vs a team with anything better I haven’t done scoreboard screenshots in forever, but some of the results are shockingly bad
  13. People saying premades who were previously carried by faction or whatever are getting wake up Calls and losing now, but what about those of us who mostly play solo? I’ve done matches where I get over 2 million damage and no one else cracks 400k. That’s a thing that’s actually happened several times in the last day or two. Trying to heal those groups is even worse, because although I’m totally used to healer tunnel now they just completely ignore my team dps altogether and I get the 5-6v1 dogpile. I initially just chalked it up to most of the good players doing SR leaving the dregs to play regs, but this seems to be a thing. Clearly something is “off”. I don’t think faction imbalance inflated my “hidden ELO” so much that I get these kinda groups, because as a solo queuer I did a pretty fair amount of losing before this matchmaking.
