Guild Wars 2

I’m sorry, player coming back after a while, Im currently rank 937 in the leaderboard, but Im not sure what counts (and what doesnt) towards going up on it

Is it personal score? Kills? Objectives? secondary Objectives? Wins? Premade? Class? Build?

Please help me with this one.

Thanks in advanced!

Now, the leaderboards are sorted based on who has more ‘points’, which you can either earn or lose, based on how well the score went for you your team, in each game.

It’s weighted by how your odds are of winning, based on many factors.

IE: The odds are hopelessly crushing you team, but you score 400 points, and lose 400-500, you will still gain two ‘points’ for the leaderboard.

So the leaderboards are a function of how many games you’ve played, but generating extra points by beating the odds can propel you faster.

Hmm, I see, so basically I shouldnt worry so much as to win but rather gather as many points as possible? (of course I dont mean that I wouldnt try to win, just that my main concern should be on the points)

Is this correct? Because I can see a bunch of people just rotating points to cap/decap for quick points

Isnt this flawed?

edit: now that I think about it, Lux, which is in the top 20, yesterday I saw him running a shortbow thief, decapping, everytime I will confront him he will run….. it all makes sense now!

Yep, it worked, rank 746 now….. I think this new PvP way of scoring is flawed :/

I think its actually mostly just based around how many games you’ve played. So go spam ranked queue and you should keep going up regardless of how many you are winning/losing.

No, you’ve drawn a wrong conclusion. Personal score that is shown by each player’s name is completely worthless.

You’re thinking of the personal score.. I’m talking about the score of the game that increases when you have points captured. IE: Were the scores 500-0, 500-499, etc.

Focus on winning games… do your best to carry against the crushing odds you will inevitably face at some times.
