Guild Wars 2

Could not find a specific forum for feature requests / ideas so I figure I would put it here.

What would you guys think about adding some sort of leaderboard, like weekly, for raids and possibility give rewards for people in the top tier of scores? Elder Scrolls Online is an MMO that does it for their trails and I think it is a pretty cool feature. Even though I don’t need the extra incentive to raid, it would give some extra incentive for doing raids if something like a weekly reward is given for the top tier of scores (and do stuff like the better the score, the better the RNG or the reward). It would also allow people to see where they rank compared to others and allow people to be able to compared themselves to old score to see how much they are improving.

Does anyone know if something like this is in the roadmap for raids down the line?

Would be nice to bring a bit more competitivity in PvE and make it easier to compare performance. They could do a leaderboard of ‘’time remaining’’ on the timer when you killed it.

The problem would be how to attribute that to a squad? Will the leaderboard be individual and give the time to the 10 squad member? Because it would be way nicer to give 1 time for the squad, but squad doesn’t have an identity, how do you list that in a leaderboard. They would need to create a system similar to guild team for PvP league I suppose. And if they do that, 10 people could create several squad and get place in the leaderboard since it’s a one time thing. Not like PvP that if you are in several team, you will divide your point among them as you play and not reach as high in the leaderboard. You would need to be able to join only 1 squad team and when you are in another squad then it doesn’t count toward the leaderboard? But then this limit this to guild only. No pug however good they are could be in the leaderboard. Maybe that individual time would be best after all.

Weekly is a bit too much and would devaluate it I think. Maybe more a monthly. With a price for some of the best team. Ideally, not just the first few or it will probably always be the same people getting the only reward. Maybe the first 100 teams get something like 100 or 50 magnetite shards and the first 10 teams get something better. I don’t know.

I think doing it by person would be better than doing it by group because if you do it by group, then people could be getting a lot more rewards than just 1. If you have a core of 15 people how all raid together that are interchangeable and generally is at the top of this leaderboards, the different combination they could get of groups might allow them to take up a lot more spots on the leaderboards vs just 15 if it was by person.

Remember fractal leader-boards? Be careful what you ask for.

I only joined the game and couple of weeks ago, I assume the fractals leaderboards did not work out so well?

No one knows, it never got ingame since they’ve been announced back in 2013 I think it was.

They announced fractal leaderboard 2 years ago and it was never in game. Worst, they reseted the fractal level of everybody to level 30 while saying, it’s to put everybody on the same level for the introduction of fractal leaderboard and that kittened off a lot of people because some where at level like 82 (there used to have a way to get there back then).

Tbh the idea of fractal leaderboard seemed super dump to me since the first time they talked about it. Their idea was to have a leaderboard about the profession, but you would just have a majority of player all at max level and the leaderboard would have no meaning.

PvE doesn’t need leaderboard, nothing in PvE is very relevant to boast about.
