Guild Wars 2

Just a request to the UI developers at Arenanet for the PvP Leaderboards;

1. Have green and red markers determining loss/gain of rating.

2. Have another section that determines individual gains ie: most rating gain/loss in a week.

3. Let us view more than 10 people per page or something.

4. Add more color, its looks boring and dull.

5. Have character names also, not just account names.

6. A break down of most popular class/map played for the season.

That’s all that comes to mind for now, I’m sure the community can also add something.

Thanks.

Yeah why would anet work on improving matchmaking when they can work on making leaderboards pretty.

You would probably be better off investigating the API, and petitioning for more information from it if needed, to build this as a third party tool.

If you really want it in-game, you could look to things like gw2navi or gw2pao to add the features, or to build a similar tool to draw it yourself if you wish.

I would really like it on the GW2 leader boards page.

I also would like the back name and the character name with the most games played in a season and that class.

1- It would help the community see what is the most used classes

2- We could see the Top NA and EU players, which would be nice since we had it before.

I dont understand how we can have competitive seasons when we dont get to see anything.

In WoW, LoL, you can see the top players, what character/class they play and you can see it on there own leader boards.

To be fair LoL is a PvP game, so that is essential. WoW makes billions so they are going to provide as much information as they want since they have billions to blow on UI developers.

Guild wars 2 barely makes a pip. Not saying it is justified not having it, just saying comparing two games that have significantly more resources than guild wars 2 isn’t a good way to make a point.

Yeah why would Anet hire several different people to do different jobs.

You make excellent points and normally i would agree with you.

Except we used to have leader boards for solo que and team ranked que. It was for the Top 1000 players and it had there wins/losses with a win % next to there name. It also had the character they last played with.

GW2 score used to have this information. I literally went back and saw that i screwed my solo que rating a bit by losing my last 4 matches in solo que by playing thief.

So yes i would normally agree with you but they already had the set up with the old leader board system from 2 years ago.

If im a power lifter and i dead lift 900 lbs. Decide to change my work out and now i dead lift 800 lbs. Guess what i know its not better and i can go back to my old work out system.

We are almost threw S5 and still no Leader Board system on the leader board page.

WE USE TO HAVE A LEADER BOARD, thats my reason.

More public player information would be great, but let’s be honest.

We’d only use it to shame others:

“You’re only T3 Silver. Anything you have to say is moot. I’m Platinum, look at me.”

I dont do that, (well at least i dont think i do) but im currently in plat, was rated in the old solo que and team que. Played in a few AG tourneys and i simply take everyones comments and try to break it down.

Obviously some people come here to rant, some make good points but have no clue how other classes work.

This goes for everyone, ive seen alot of legendary players/ ESL players who are a bit full of themselves and act superior because they are better. Then you have others who dont and you can walk up to in game and actually talk to them.

Thats just life and your gonna get those 50/50 spreads. That doesnt mean ANet shouldnt give us basic PvP items like a leader board, who is on it and what class they play.

Like I and my guild mates have started playing LoL since we can que up together, see each players rankings and have fun.

Not a whole lot of fun in GW2 PvP lately. Im mean literally every class has had 1 build to play since HOT came out. Im ranting but im mean GW2 needs these basic items to just be taken seriously as a PvP scene.

Not interested in overlay stuff, I would like something in the game – where you can look at while your waiting for matches to start. Maybe some information on players also while you wait.

Hey man, I feel ya. I probably resort to sarcasm on the forums more often than I should.

I completely agree with you though. I think we should have vastly more transparency in the sPvP game than we currently do. I was a great fan of the old Leaderboards, because we could compare ourselves to our peers.

I’d like to see our true MMR and deviancy, maybe a season summary at the end of each season loaded with statistics

I’d like be able to easily see other players’ Skill Ratings, win rates, main professions, etc.

I’d like to see infographics from each season for participation, breakdowns of how the player-base was distributed into the leagues throughout the season, current numbers of active players in Ranked Conquest

Basically, the more information the better – but I’m the type that oogled at gw2efficiency for probably way too long.
