Guild Wars 2

I know there are a bunch of threats out there complaining about the latest patch. But I see a huge difference between this patch and the older ones…

Finally, we have again something to play for. With a ladder you will actually see a difference after winning / loosing some matches. It was getting completely indifferent for us if we lost or won simply because we couldn’t see any impact. In the old days we had PAIDs with QP which you could strive for (cause we all thought QP would lead to something good) but since then the whole game was just…boring.

Now with a ladder in place – I feel lik the motivation to play is coming back to me.

When I also see the recent posts on Custom Arenas (let’s not talk about possible prices here but on the fact that they will probably come soon) – I have a possibility to practice in a good way to actually help me being better in my gameplay.

I thinks it’s a HUGE step into the right direction!

Now let’s see how the balance will actually look like after some days of giving good thought on possible builds – but what the heck.. I will play the game no matter what.

ANET now please be so kind and fulfil our expectations by making the things good (cause I don’t want a ladder that shows irrelevant stuff) – if it’s even half decent, I think the community will grow again.

Fell free to disagree (and I know now I get an awful lot of HOW COULD YOU, HOW DARE YOU)

I LIKE!

its might be a huge step, but it will depend on the time they take to expand the list from top 100 players to every player, unless they only want 100 people competing.

So much this. I may not be good at pvp but I want to know how much I am improving over time (if at all). I want to see a number go up and down to reflect those changes.

i missed the part where ladders would be displayed. can someone link that part of the patch?

yeah just looked. no leaderboards. they are “beginning to record data”… SILENTLY… to mythical leaderboards you can not see.

i.e. (we didn’t get this in the patch..but with clever wordplay we can say we did…in a sense)

In the leaderboards threat they actually mention… Will be displayed for Top100 first, and when the server can handle the traffic, all…

So for this is a clear – we will be able to see ourselves in a ranking…and probably going up or down in ranking based on your performance.
