Guild Wars 2

Am I the only one who was under the assumption that the leaderboards would reset after the test ladder?

Also, anyone know when I will get my mini Llama!!!!

So it’s officially closed and any progress now is just for fun?

I assume the leaderboard continue to automatically update?

i hope new season has another opportunity for the llama, relatively soon. with the way this was working a lot of good pvpers primarily doing solo , getting farmed on by premades kinda got a bad chance. or even the people who were above 200, and didnt pvp for a day or two, take serious fall offs. i pvped mah butt off for a while for it. i dont know why…but i want it o.o. lol. llama is life.

And what about the wins/loses acccumulated before the big PvP patch? Will you merge them with the current games next season?

Congratulations on the no life reward! This test phase officially makes the Glorious Hero’s Armor no longer a representative of pvp skill.

Do you mean your account aggregates? We are currently planning (afaik) to show only ladder season specific data. So everyone starts at 0/0 at the beginning of a season.

Yea I meant all ranked games accumulated in solo and team Q. Thanks for the clarification.

I assume MMRs will reset at start of a season if W/L does as well.

Otherwise pre-season start will be a tank-fest.

Correct.

So what’ s the point in having ranked and unranked now?, wouldn’t it be better if you reset the leaderboard and keep updating it while we wait for another season?? May be with monthly resets.

New MMR creates absolute chaos. Everyone starts with a temporary “middle-level” MMR regardless of their actual playing and map ability. It’s a mess.

They tried that Dec 16th and the first few days were terrible until they loaded historic MMRs from previous months.

Correct.

I think a much better approach is to reset the leaderboards at this point and just not give any rewards. What’s the point of static leaderboards?

or maybe they can build a leaderboard based on MMR. I think pretty much everyone knows the current leaderboard system needs a reboot. It measures time played more than anything else.

my question is…. when?? any predictions I think we dont want stay playing for fun…

No, MMR is tied to the arena not the ladder season. We know about the potential for tanking before the beginning of the season, but I don’t believe we’ve settled on a solution yet.

Well in that case… you didn’t ask for suggestions but here is one anyway >.<

1. Announce the season start date just 1 or 2 weeks in advance.
2. During those 1-2 weeks have a pre-season meta achievement where wins earn extra rewards and maybe even a chance at a precursor or maybe a special limited time reward track
3. When the season begins, revert MMRs back to where they were on the day it was announced.

Or a more simple alternative – during the period from when it’s announced until when it begins, a person’s MMR can not drop more than 5-10% from where it was when announced.

Idk if I’m the only one, but if there is not an active leaderboard (albiet kittenty or not) I don’t feel like PVP’ing. You should just keep leaderboard running even if there are no rewards between seasons.
