Archer.4362 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If you don't like the result of the game, instead of sending spam to the chat, don't stay afk and leave the game, because due to your incompetence in staying afk, the rest of us are in a 4 vs 5 that can be overcome. But since you think you are a super PRO, your answer is I'm complaining because you are bots and I'm not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverpoopoo.1476 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The developers went AFK on PVP mode years ago, so I guess they set the example. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma.1503 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If you're that jaded, why not afk from PvP entirely? There's better experiences out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the winning team get complacent at 400 points, lose their momentum, and get surprised by the bell accumulating. Foefire and Coliseum? I've seen the lengthy open-space distances between the nodes result in a single battle at far result in a team getting simultaneously wiped, followed by a sudden halt to all progress because all the nodes got captures before they could redeploy. Temple? I once saw a match where a well-timed capture resulted in a team losing... at 495 points. Niflhel? Seen dominant teams get kill-stolen to a loss with the NPCs. Spirt Watch? People fighting at spawn and ignoring all nodes as I scream 'welcome to pvp' (or BEAR) and run by with the orb? Instant 500-100 domination!

Only time I won't go afk is if they have a DH, I like to watch them bleed out. Yeah right. I was in a match with you where you stated you won't fight DHs and went afk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmoose.6594 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 for real though I likely won't afk from pvp as I'll still do the daily and weekly since its easy. also might get a set of heavy legendary next, idk...we'll see. just wish anet threw us a bone, like a new map or something. all good dawgs need a new bone from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeRetroHunter.7684 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) in WvW, it’s funny when commanders meet a superior group of players, by the second loss they decide to either change maps to go ppt or rage quit and log…but have no problems W keying PPT pug zergs themselves. The truth is, if you can’t accept losing, your just bad at the game and you’ll never get better to be honest. If you don’t get better, you lose more. You lose more you afk more. You afk more you don’t get better… Edited February 2 by JusticeRetroHunter.7684 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well, if players are kitten enough to bandwaggon a low skill spec, then I reserve the right not to play against 2x DH. Maybe have some more self respect, bandwaggons? If you are playing core gaurd, try any other support? If WB, try herald/hammer cata, if DH, try power untamed.. see how badly you do. Realise its not skill.

draxynnic.3719 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 On 1/30/2024 at 10:04 AM, Shao.7236 said: I've won people games just by insisting on that last decap, often games being 300-490 just for us to snowball the entire team after that and win. Comebacks can happen so quickly and it's quite satisfying when they do, all it takes is people that are competent enough to check the map and anticipate the fights. I recall one game where we clawed the game back from roughly 425 points where the other team had 499. Got that last decap just in time and managed to avoid conceding even a single point for about a minute. That was pretty intense. It isn't over until you physically can't decap fast enough, and it's hard to pick when that is, so you might as well try. On 1/31/2024 at 9:49 PM, Luthan.5236 said: This strongly depends on the team and the mood though. And if people start to argue in chat it often seems already lost when you are still ahead in points. 😄 Always a bad sign. (Though I had a few wins where someone always complained and we still won.) And the map awareness often seems the thing other players are weakest. (Personally I am better but less good at combat and only playing mid skill tier/rank.) They sometimes even run away when an thief is already moving (for decap) from the other side towards the point they just recapped. No defense. Not always. But like 80 percent of the players seem like that. No adaption. Every time the same. I've often said that the biggest predictor of a loss is when people start attacking their own team in chat. Short of being 4v5 from the beginning, and I'm not even sure about that. (Although winning when you're 4v5 from the beginning probably is a sign of a matchmaker fail).

arazoth.7290 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I won lately a ranked match with an afker from the start. The win was because the enemy team had 2 afkers from the start 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffles.5632 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 it's okay to afk in 2v2 and 3v3 because if for instance in 2v2 ur partner isn't respecting you/talking down to you and stuff, or being insulting, then you shouldn't play and help that person win. Afk to teach them some manners 100%. Your dignity is worth the loss. Same with 3v3. In 5v5 it's a bit different, you should really only afk if you already have a DC or an AFKer, otherwise keep playing no matter how bad it may look, best case scenario you flip it and win, worst case you lose but you're already losing, but you can still learn something by playing. Experience & knowledge counts for a lot in gw2 pvp. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmoose.6594 Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Sorry all I’m not going to try in a match where we have 60 points to the other team’s 400. I don’t afk early, only when my team can’t even break 100 and the other team has 400. I know its possible to come back, but that requires people who will listen to strat, which usually doesn’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
