Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing for a while now, in and out of pvp but I’ve been wondering about this. I know there are leaderboards, but you have to go on the internet to see? This leauge & ladders stuff that they are talking about, are we gona have more like visible raiting stats? Like a lot of the moba games or something like wows arenas? Just wondering for some of my friends are thinking about getting back into the game now with some changes and the feature patch around the corner. OFC, there needs to be balances and so for the pvp overall but I guess my question is; Are we gona have a pvp scene who really shows your place in the game now and is it worth spending time polishing our skills to feel like we can show how good/bad we are?

First forum post ever, so probably a dumb one, but thanks anyway.

Having visible rating would motivate players to participate in PvP more. I hope they will have this when they add leagues and seasons and ladders and all that stuff.

That’s exactly what I mean, i agree to the fullest! But I guess all this ladder & season stuff is a bit further down the road…

I’d like visible ranks but ranks have to be grinded and doesn’t mean you’re good, just spent a lot of time. I know plenty of rank 30-40 players that are better than most 60’s

I want some visible way to tell how “good” someone is. Last game I played PvP in you could click on their name and view their record.

Visible ladder rating/rank.

Visible MMR and placement on leaderboards is something that was discussed on SoTG and before they introduced ranked play. At first they didn’t want to display them until they felt the bugs were ironed out. Then they said they may add it if players wanted it (which we do).

I believe their hesitation is strictly them not being confident in the rating system.

Yeah, I mean spending time needs to be rewarding to ofcourse, like play this many games and you’ll get some skins, finisher etc. But I agree with Rezz, visible raiting would promote more players to at least try out pvp. Everybody wants to be the very best, like noone never was..

The trick is this game is for everyone, casual friendly and all and I think that is really good. But you can make a game casuall friendly on all levels right? With tiers like they are talking about in the CDI, gold, silver, bronze, it’s casuall/competetive at your own level. This game has great potential, I’ve loved it since day one with the flow in combat and so on. But they really need to spend time on PvP now. I think it has potential to be a good esports game, with diffrent game mods, more balancing and more “reason” to venture to the heart of the mist. I mean the pvp tought is brilliant. Everybody got accees to everything, same runes to choose from, same weapons, jewlery and builds. So it comes down to the skill of the player and IMO there need to be things that show that you are truly a skilled player. Like when you join a game and see a guy wearing " top gold tier skins " you’ll go wooooowowowow this guy is good. I may be dumb but when i join a game now I don’t know how good/skilled a person is. It’s a part of horizontal progress, to show everyone that you are indeed, the very best!
