Guild Wars 2

I know this has been suggested multiple times, but there has been no official comment and this issue does not even seem to be on ArenaNet’s radar.

In my experience most tpvp matches seem to consist of either your team stomping the other team pretty hard or vice versa. Now the scoreboard at the end of the game offers no indication whatsoever of why you won/lost fights. That makes it very hard to gauge how you are progressing skill wise as a player and as a team.

Suggestions:
- Show us an overall direct damage breakdown per team and per player
- Same as above but for condition damage
- Number of successful stomps/rezzes per player/team

I have no idea if that’s hard to implement or not, but it would help teams and individual players figure out what areas they need to work on. Instead of merely suspecting that player A barely puts out damage, there’s a scoreboard to prove it.

would it also be possible for us to spectate team arena matches? obviously with a delay to prevent ghosting

Thanks, Evan! I am very happy to hear that. An overall damage breakdown will help teams figure out what’s working well and what is not.

I know you can’t give us a date, but is there a chance we will see any changes to the scoreboard this year?

Good Scoreboard would consist of:

Kills Deaths Damage Dealt Damage Tanked Heals Neuts Caps Stomps Rez’s

and display the numbers for all players regardless of team.

With those stats as a starting point the sabre-matrician types would have a decent starting point to math it up.

It would be almost like the one you had in gw1.

Pick your player you choose to view from, spectator open map chat only available for those watching, and ability to see the skills used by each player/ bar (in the case of stances and instants). What was wrong with this system? You could pick what you wanted to view, and the perspective you wanted to view it by / minute by minute

EDIT … while chatting with others in the same viewing channel

I`d love scoreboards showing dmg – rezzes and stomps.

if its easy to implement it would definitely help new players figure out why they keep losing.

I made a more comprehensive post about this, but unfortunately, I didn’t get a dev response in it. Here is a snippet of the post and what should be in the scoreboard:

A) How many seconds was each point held by Red, Blue, or neutral?
B) How many neutralizes or caps by each player
C) Total damage and received done by each player
D) Damage done to downstate players
E) Total healing done and received by each player
F) Conditions applied/removed/cleansed
G) Boons applied/removed
H) How many stomps, revives, and deaths by each player
I) Special map mechanics: Treb shots fired, orbs ran, npc kills, etc.
J) Whatever else you can think of or other players can

This is definitely on our radar and we’ve talked about it multiple times. This would also useful for spectators to get an overview of match stats per team.

They talk a lot. So I wouldn’t get your hopes up for much. They definitely are really good at talking.

…? The more information you have, the better you can analyze your performance and your team’s performance, so you can get better.

Well that’s true but I don’t think that counting how many times I apply Protection as hammer guardian is going to help me, a lot of the things which win/lose pvp encounters can’t really be tallied like this, it’s about reaction, luck and judgement calls

This is great!

Imo the current leaderboards doesn’t represent the game well at all. It seems like its more for a free for all style match than anything. I say this because it only shows your wins and loses. But ultimately this doesn’t mean much.

I say this because a player can perform exceedingly well but lose because other members of the team didn’t hold their own.

A better score board would indicate what the OP mentioned. In fact most of the stats already exist in game: Top stats, top captures, top revives, svanir/chieftan kills. Following those stats would give a much better indication of where the player stands and what kind of player they are.
