Paarthurnax.8931 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I don't know if everyone will agree but ending the season on new year seems kinda wrong because its a date that alot of people travel and doesn't log in to play.I am one of them, and probably will get decay. I don't take pvp seriously since the earlier seasons, I just do my placement matches a week before the season ends so I can get the platinum badge cause I think it looks cool.But I don't think I will be able to this season, my rating is 1600, my worries is that the decay will put me in gold, the only solution I see is play on my notebook that can barely run Gw2, but thats a loss guarantee for me and my teammates.

Miles Smiles.8951 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 yeah, I guess you'll need to play on Saturday's evening (the 30th) at least in order not to get decayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 You get 3 days grace, so git her done like the 29th-30th if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arheundel.6451 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Why would you bother? Unless you're top 250, you get no recognition and bottom is close to 1700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jariel.9274 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 And what if somebody did a game on the night of the 30th of December? I basically hit Platinum tonight, at 00,30 of the 30th of December. Will I be safe or do I need to do another game to avoid the decay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, your rating is relative to other players, rather than being an absolute measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
