Guild Wars 2

Change Pt reward from standing on point to contesting a point: Roaming is fun and worth it, discourages multiple people from standing on an uncontested point.

Make Pt reward for capturing/neutralizing apply team wide: This would stop people from racing to points and leaving when someone else gets there first but it would still
give reason to cap it (friendship is magic).

Make Skyhammer exclusive to custom arenas

Change the way rank is determined: Rather than function on a pt. scale like lvling, make ranks rabbit-phoenix based on specific challenges for each class in tournaments (like achievements but actually feel like achievements). Make dragon earned by completing all other ranks. It will encourage players to try the other classes. This will allow a quick way to get specific rewards without rewarding farmers. Dragon will still be a long term goal because all the other ranks still have to be completed first.

Limit Match Sizes for Anet Custom Arenas to 5v5: If hotjoin is supposed to be preparation for tPvP it should be formatted similarly

Add Custom Arena Tokens to Tournament Win Chests: This will make a custom arena sustainable solely through PvP

Add Karma consumables to Tournament Win Chests:

Add Black Lion Chest Keys to Tournament Win Chests:

Stop PvE notifications while in PvP

Announce PvP tournaments (actual tournaments, not matchmaking) through game-wide notifications: It will help in viewership and maybe get more people playing pvp

Make the PvP Locker function like the items in the achievements tab: This will allow you to retrieve items you have unlocked on whatever character you want without having to transfer from character to locker to character. Also prevents PvP items from affecting PvE Character’s storage.

Add settings to adjust character quality/what race others are viewed as

Change skill 2 to Acid Bomb: It can be countered by Immobilize/Cripple/Chill, not a disable or interrupt, rewards smart use of auto attack since its the only way to rotate

Throw Junk: Change chance for chill to immobilize, weakness to vuln

Personal Battering Ram: Make it transfer 2 conditions, the entire gadget type has no way to deal with non-movement conditions

Overcharged Shot: Change the self-knockback to a backwards leap like Acid Bomb

Throw Mine: Change Remove Boon to Steal Boon if you are in the blast radius

Kit Refinement: Remove the global cooldown and give them different individual cooldowns

Accelerant Packed Turrets: Move it to adept tier because there are not many adept traits that affect turrets in this trait tree

Performance Enhancement: Change it to 35 healing power for each stack of might, the conversion thing sucks skritt

Rifled Barrel Turrets: Move it to master tier, this would not be worth 30pts even if turrets are made stronger.

Rocket (Rocket Turret Toolbelt): Knockdown for 1s

Elixir R: Remove cast time or lower it to 1/4s

Empowering Adrenaline: Make it give 2s of quickness on the use of a gadget

Modified Ammunition: Change it to 3% dmg and 3% crit chance per condition

Napalm Specialist: Increase bonus to 45%

Static Discharge: Make it shoot to your selected target, regardless of the toolbelt’s target.

Adrenal Implant: No negative effect when you gain quickness

Utility Goggles: Make it apply 3s of revealed to enemies in a 600 AoE

Mortar: Change to a kit, remove minimum range

Armor Mods: Change it to 3s of protection on toolbelt use, there are not enough traits that deal with the class mechanic

Power Shoes: Change it so that sidestrafing is the same speed as forward movement

Flame Turret: Make it’s health/armor equal to current value of drake pets

Thumper Turret: Make it’s health/armor equal to current value of ursine pets

Rifle/Rocket: Make it’s health/armor equal to current value of cat pets

Exploit Weakness: Weaken targets when you immobilize them

Automated Response: Change it from immunity to :copy any conditions you receive while under 25%hp to their sender

I think there should be things that deter condi spam but immunity is a little much. This will still deter condi burst but not render it useless.

If its true, it is AMAZING

Removing all the rooting? Hell yeah
Fire shield? Hell yeah
Conjures normal attack? Hell yeah
2 secs of Quickness for Eles? Hell yeah
Persisting Flame+ signet build = perma stability? Hell yeah

Interesting Guard info. Some of them I really like.

It’s not. He’s just posting what his ideas that will never see the light of day.

sounds good~!

But I think the way Bountiful Interruption now is ok, no need to change.

There are some really good ideas here. There’s some that would be crazy powerful but others are very reasonable buffs. There are also some good reward/QoL suggetions in the first post.

If lightning flash was a leap finisher we wouldn’t be able to port 90 degrees up stairs levels and things of that nature.

change all the conjure weapons into 1 kit and you guys yourself a great suggestion.

Super Riceman.8702:

Make Skyhammer exclusive to custom arenas

+kittening delete skyhammer and its bullkitten mechanics already.

Fixed.

Lies! Evan told me it would happen in a dream I had.

Why not making glory rewards sth like this:

Hotjoin-Win: 300 Glory
Single-queue: 1500-Leaderboard-rank of highest Player in the Match
Team-queue: 2000 -Leaderboard-rank of highest Player in Match

Of course the last two one imply that the Leaderboards work properly.

This way, players would earn more glory and winning would be more rewarding.

But in the end, I think, ANet doesn’t need ideas for improving PvP, they are just not interested in changing PvP…i don’t know why…

[Ranger]
