The expansion “Heart of Thorns” has left many issues in Guild Wars 2. These are now being addressed step by step.
The eternal story: Better matchmaking
With the start of the second PvP season, significant changes are planned for Guild Wars 2, mainly aimed at fixing matchmaking problems. So far, there has been much criticism of the existing system, which is why the developers have planned several adjustments. The official statement says:
“The matchmaking system in Season 1 was a mix of the current division in the leagues and personal ranking (MMR). (…) Starting with Season 2, the placement in your current division will be the primary determining factor for your matches and will no longer consider the MMR of players in similar score ranges.”
The changes are hoped to ensure that players no longer have to fight against opponents who are significantly more skilled or less skilled than themselves. This should also lead to players quickly reaching the divisions that correspond to their “actual skill.”
At the same time, a system is being developed to reward “win streaks” for more skilled players more significantly, so that good teams do not remain in the lower ranks for long.
Finally, there is a small video that gives an impression of what gliding in old Tyria could be like. Enjoy the flight through Orr!
