Guild Wars 2

In wvw when someone disconnects or leaves wvw whilst in combat then the person still gets the reward for the kill.

So the technology exists. What people are doing more and more now in tpvp is when you are going to stomp then they leave. This means you dont get the 5 points for the kill which can decide the game one way or the other (it often does).

Please put in a system where if someone dcs whilst in combat then the other team gets 5 points and players get a kill. You have the technology to do this as is shown in wvw.

Edit: I dont think I am wrong on this…I dont think you get points when someone dcs, others can confirm?

P.S. Also please actually use the technology you have to ban macro users. The time between skills should be constant for these people and again I know from pve you have the technology to ban these people. I hope you are just saving up the data for a mega ban soon but not doing anything on cheating type issue basically makes any competitive environment in this game feel lame.

Woot, thanks Evan! I’ve noticed this too and it’s pretty annoying/funny.

This is a good idea! In fact, we’ve already discussed this. It’s done and will be in the next patch.

When exactly is the next patch anyways? And is this the real “BIG PVP PATCH”.

The 26th, so two weeks from now. This patch is going to be more WvW based.

With growing outcries from PvE, WvW’s constant rage on specific professions and PvP’s reaction last month I wouldn’t be surprised if the status quo for professions was shifted on the 26th. Oh and they didn’t manage to kill 100 nades last month, so they’ll have to try that again for the what 4th month in a row? If not I’ll be honestly shocked. Then there’s the devs giving Ranger’s some increased hopes for their dungeon issues, and these changes for PvE will likely bleed into Pvp…so umm expect a shift? With some new WvW passives and all the talks from devs in the Dev Tracker, be surprised if next patch wasn’t significant on a profession level for pvp
Features though?
No way bro. 2015.

Haven’t they been calling the next patch the “big pvp patch” for the last like 3 months?

Cool thanks. Good to be ahead of the curve on issues such as this so I am glad. Nice.

You’re suggesting ArenaNet ban macro users? So using a mouse or keyboard that supports macros (i.e. nearly every gaming mouse on the market) will get you banned? Yea, if you want to ban 1/4th of players, sure.

I think he means people that are using macros that are doing multiple actions(1click=1action only)

My statement still stands. The purpose of macros are to press multiple keys at once. If GW2 doesn’t want people to do that, then put all skills on a global cooldown when a skill is casting, a la elementalist attunement GCD.

Not going to happen. You can’t just ban people who use legitimate Logitech/Razer/etc. devices. Macros serve people with RSI issues too.

wooooow these missing 5/15 points sure will massively improve my gaming experience no kitten

./facepalm

Lol rayn, you really don’t get how this can be exploited do you?

THANKS For this great and wonderful change. Hopefully you fix it so it rallies as WELL as giving points.

Umm, they can just ban people who use macros, its been practiced for a while…..

I do get it now. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, since we’re talking about the next patch, can you enlighten us on anything else that may be in it?

Tuesday the 23rd.

A dev post!?!?!?

Have t seen one of dem In a while. Must all be busy on the march patch.

I am not sure people waste their time doing that for a match they intend to come back into as they would be letting their team down (tourney will throw you straight back into the match when you reconnect) and chances are they would still lose due to not letting you have 5 points but your team gaining a number advantage and probably winning the game.

I’ll be honest, if I am waiting on a tourney and the message pops up on my screen I will wait till I kill my foe or die myself, if I am downed I sometimes click “Go Now” so the enemy doesn’t get the kill, yes it’s mean I know and I understand your frustration but that might be the reason people are leaving also.

In tournaments it’s a big issue. And if you have a faster pc you easily connect in 10 seconds back, even faster then the 15 secs. So at least there has to be the points given.

its not cause you got the mouse and keyboard that you need to make chain macro’s
( i dont , and i have the gaming keybaord and mouse )
anet clearly said , 1 click = 1 action
( anything else = risk on ban)

1 click = 3 actions in a row or more
for me this would mean you allow botting ( 1 click = 1000 actions going of in a row)

+1 for BIG BAN hammer for any1 who breaks this simple rule
(i rather have less people playing , then all people playing with half of them breaking the game rules)
