Guild Wars 2

that’s a lotta glory…

Yeah, it will take at least a year or two of farming for someone to get up there!
That dragon finisher better be kitten!

Funny how PvE leveling curve is (almost) the exact opposite

Funny how PvE leveling curve is (almost) the exact opposite

But being maxed level is nearly required to enjoy the “end-game” such as fractals and dungeons.
Having a high rank in PvP doesn’t allow you to do more things.

I think it’s good; it gives /rank a method of showing off because these ranks are not easily gained.

Who even stomps anymore. It is all about dps

Agreed

You have Bear and Tiger in the incorrect order. But I like the chart! Makes me feel very small and insignificant. Maybe I’ll just come to this thread instead of searching for “humiliation” on an adult website next time I feel the need to do so.

You don`t get it.
If there was a way to get massive glory via unquestionable demonstration of skill, then yes. As it is now, tournaments are commonly accepted as a better indicator of skill, but it gives far less glory than hotjoining. Praise your hotjoin farming overlords.

JESUS CHRIST.

Who is the genious in arenanet that had the amazing idea of implementing this system?

Either scrap this system, or add a multiplier to the amount of glory you win. It would be nice if this multiplier was affected by your rating or wins streak.

What about /rank in HoM/PvE? :P

I never said it is an expression of skill, but it is something that needs work to achieve no matter which way you spin it; achievements like these still deserve to be displayed with pride.

I knew it was a huge work to get to the top but after seeing this… omg

Can someone integrate the graphic and tell me how far am I being r49 after 8 months.

Who is the genious in arenanet that had the amazing idea of implementing this system?

You’ve got about 7 years to go

7 years…

will we be esports by then?

I’m quite sure that they will implement better ways to get glory as the game evolves towards an end-game playstyle.

I’ve personaly stopped watching my bar and every time I get close to ranking up, it is a pleasant surprise rather than “FINALLY”.

My recommendation to everyone is to stop worrying about points and start worrying about the game; this would make the game-play seem much faster and make it much more competitive and entertaining.

I also just realized 1-49 is as long as 79-80

Mother of god.

So if i ever hit r79, it will take me 8 more months to be 80.

Seems like somebody here never had seen how was the scaling of GW1 Pvp titles…. :p

That curve is an overkill. There will be GW3 before at least 5 ppl get to r80.
One would be more motivated to play if the new rewards were available every 5 ranks instead of 10.

I suggest adding 1k glory token available in shop for 1 laurel (what do you do with your laurels anyway?).

If there was something worthwhile to do with all that glory, it wouldn’t be so bad. Heck, make level 80 only armor with the same stats (but different appearances) as karma vendors for a total of 600,000 a set (100,000 per piece). That’s still an overkill amount but the point remains, especially after seeing this curve, that this glory grind needs to be given an incentive beyond mere rank.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

It was the same in Daoc and some people got rank 14. So I like it.

Anyone noticed that on the scale Bear comes before Tiger?

If only there was a valuable reason for people to hit r80…

kittens might be a powerful reason for some people, but I kinda like dogs tbh

yeah, yeah… adding text boxes in an excel graph is a pain, i got ‘em backwards… someone pointed it out already… BUT. I’m too lazy to change it.

Pixels.6532:

that’s a lotta glory…

Bear <——> Tiger

40-49 is Tiger

50-59 is Bear

If the skins etc from 30 or 40 and up was actully truely unique i wouldn’t care to much, but farming for years just to get the same skins i can get in a month or less in pve? screw that

I expect to see a lot of kittens (Endless Mystery Cat Tonic) in the mists, after the first 100 days are over!

In hotjoins you play vs randoms and in tournaments you play vs randoms. Your point?

Anyway the graph is fine cause tigers are way better than bears.

Indeed, haha.

Honestly, they really have gone crazy with some of achievements/progressions. Just take a look at the wvw achievements, they’re even worse than this. Just look at the achievement for killing supply caravans. It takes 1 million kills to get it.

If you kill 6 caravans per hour (one every 10 minutes), 24/7, with absolutely no stopping, it will take you over 19 years to get that achievement.

You could build a house out of legendaries if you did pve instead.

Yeah it’s kittening kitten #8230;

I’d rather see them remove the rank requirement for the gear and just make them cost lots of glory instead. Or make rank points scale with rank, similar to how exp scales with level in pve. Or if i could buy the skins from gemstore.
Atm i would almost pay some chinese farmer to farm rank points for me just so i can get the look i want, but seems like even they think it’s to tedious to farm hotjoin to rank up -_-

Hilarious or depressing? Can’t decide.

^ This.

I enjoy systems like this and hope they keep it in place. It gives a huge long-term goal that is immensely satisfying to progress towards since only a few people in the world will achieve it.

That said, I look forward to when they implement a more skill-oriented system in addition to this one.

You guys have to realize a system such as this isn’t meant to bring instant gratification, and there are other roads you can take toward that satisfaction (e.g. leaderboards).

Most people only care about how hard it is to get their gear, and not as much about the actual look of it.

Back in the day when you saw someone with full Paid tourny gear you were like “daaaaaamnnnnn”

now its more like “meh”

I feel ya man, especially since the implementation of the community driven tournies now. My goal is to win those, and get better for those, rather than to get gear and ranks.
