Guild Wars 2

How long ago did this happen?

EverythingEnds.4261:

… so more experienced players don’t get paired up with them.

Already working on it.

Nabbo.2845:

But courtyard is excluded from that?

Correct. Courtyard is not part of the standard custom arena configuration.

May I ask why?

TDM is not a supported game mode, at least not yet. We are watching the how community responds to the format, and then we’ll go from there.

Nabbo.2845:

But courtyard is excluded from that?

Correct. Courtyard is not part of the standard custom arena configuration.

Matchmaking has not changed. We stopped showing ranks because they were being used incorrectly (as if they implied skill rather than time invested), causing a toxic environment where players felt justified (wrongly) while harassing each other.

We are working on changes to matchmaking, but those changes are unrelated to the decision to not show ranks.

That said, there has been a huge influx of new players, and this is likely what you are noticing. They are likely going to need some time to learn the ropes and figure out how to play. May I suggest taking a patient, mentoring approach?

Teutos.8620:

Last time I clicked “Play Now” I got onto a custom arena, but I think one with the same settings as the hot-join servers from ArenaNet.

That’s by design. Our hot-join servers are really just custom arenas that we run. All that is required to be picked up by the “Play Now” feature is to use the standard config.

Sunshine.5014:

They should make it so that if people click Play Now, and there is no available left, they should create an addition server.

Unless there is a bug, it should already be doing this.

Quaggan, Sanctified, and Toxic will be back shortly. Sorry they got dropped by accident.

Hi everyone,

I know a lot of you may be concerned with the length of time it’s taking for us to address your refund requests, but please rest assured that we’re working around the clock to get these addressed as quickly as we can. In the meantime, thank you for your continued patience!

EDIT: Please refrain from submitting duplicate tickets, as doing so will increase the amount of time it takes for us to address each ticket. Thanks again!

I actually do have ways of measuring the emotional side, but the forums are only one variable and have to be compared to other sources of data. I would definitely not use surveys or exit interviews as they are massively biased data sources and I personally am not a fan of either in this setting.

Interesting. Are you able to elaborate or give a general example of how this works? How accurate would you deem that way of measuring? I’m sure there are ways to establish patterns and cross referencing them (in-game TP browsing perhaps?) but surely this data cannot be complete, although I assume it will average out over the masses.

At the end of his shift he simply calculates, how much rare weapons have been thrown into the mystic forge. Destroying rare weapons generates players tears. The more rares are thrown in, the more tears. Thats how you accurately measure the emotional side.

Tears are the source of my evil powers, but not a source of data…………yet.

I definitely would not consider the data “complete”, but you are correct that in large sets it’s telling and accurate. The specifics, I’m afraid, are proprietary at this point.

Rouven.7409:

The other would be the emotional side which always be dismissed as anecdotal evidence because no one is measuring it (e.g. surveys, exit interviews), or to phrase this better – measuring this would need additional steps and due to the nature of emotions (e.g. ragequitters) are not as accurate.

I actually do have ways of measuring the emotional side, but the forums are only one variable and have to be compared to other sources of data. I would definitely not use surveys or exit interviews as they are massively biased data sources and I personally am not a fan of either in this setting.

Hotjoins are technically Custom Arenas, just hosted by us. The Reward Track progression limits apply to hotjoin and player-owned custom arenas. You can still jump into Solo Queue or Team Queue to progress without limit.

Sorry for the confusion.

Alright, I’ve added Wolf and Zell, and links to all of the missing Ready Up episodes.

I’ll start updating all of the build links once the build editor sites get updated.

@Lord Hammer Hand – Thanks for taking the initiative. Not everyone is going to want to learn, but that shouldn’t stop us from wanting to teach!

Hey all,

I made a few quick edits to my New to sPvP? Start here guide that is stickied at the top of this forum, trying to make it a bit more current. If you have any suggestions for topics that might be helpful to cover for new players, or any tips for new or old players in general, feel free to reply here and I’ll try to get the guide updated sometime this week. I could definitely use some updated PvP builds, especially with the new trait system.

If you guys would like me to add your streams/youtube guides to the post, feel free to respond below with a short description and a link and I’ll check those out as well.

We have A LOT of new players trying PvP out right now, and the best thing we can do as a community is to help guide and teach them. This is our community – let’s make the best of it.

Essence Snow.3194:

That’s how science is done when you don’t already have the information. If you have the information the prep work is mostly pointless.

Why won’t you release the data like you did early on?

There’s a whole thread about it. Releasing information like that is incredibly time consuming and wildly expensive and it can’t be at the top of my priority list at the moment, because I have a lot of things to do. I come to the forums to still attempt to give you answers and interact with the community with what limited time I have.

Greetings,

We have a feedback thread open here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Game-Updates-Wardrobe-Transmutation-Outfits/first

You can leave your feedback there so we can continue to gather it for the Dev Teams. Thank you.

Essence Snow.3194:

You can quote that all day long but it wont be improving your position.

Like I mentioned b4 I am not going to do a whole write up on something that he already has information on. That’s busy work that serves no purpose but to amuse him, which I’m not gullible enough to do. It’s asking someone to run through hoops when there’s no need for it.

If he releases wealth distribution data I’ll be more than happy to oblige.

I fail to see how requesting that you lay out your proposed method for proving there is a problem is “busy work”. This is how science is done, create a hypothesis, create a test method, carry out a test. I’m sorry if this sounds pedantic.

Actually, asuran males and females have distinct and gender-appropriate sound sets. Unable to reproduce any way in which the two could get mixed up. Are you able to provide some steps to reproduce your issue?

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a soulbinding issue with the Golem Banker item from the Collector’s Edition.
• Torment weapon skins have finished their one-month introduction period and now cost 5 Black Lion Weapon Tickets.
• Fixed a crash in the Citadel of Flame.
• The Witch’s Broom item now properly grants protection only in costume brawl.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Shadow Behemoth’s portals from being attackable.
• Fixed a bug in which pets, turrets, and minions were scaling their stats incorrectly in PvP.

We’re looking into the “Complete!” issue, but I don’t have any other information at this time, sorry!

This is getting hotfixed today.

Jingy.5643:

so you still think that the 2 days ban from sPvP is alright? Well that sucks… I thought more people would agree with me on that part.

The length of the dishonorable lockout buff depends on how quickly you accumulate dishonor. It’s like not being able to play as long as you have 3 bleed stacks. You can play as soon as your first 3 day stack wears off, but getting 1 more will lock you out again.

To unlock the next region track you must first complete the Krytan track.

Please give us your feedback, questions, and suggestions on the thread linked above. This helps us gather the feedback for the Dev Teams. Thank you!

Thanks for the report. We are investigating this now.

It’s 2 TOTAL, not 2 per track.

Custom arenas only allow 2 tiers per day, but solo and team have no limit. They are tracked separately.

There were areas adjusted such as the trait lines which now provide 300 ferocity from maxing a trait line. At level 80, 300 ferocity is 20% critical damage instead of the old 30%. These obviously affect PvP reducing critical damage along with some adjustments on skills and traits.

To counter-act this we increased the ferocity that is provided on the PvP stat combinations more so then just converting it over to the new stat. You should generally end up with around the same amount of critical damage as before. There will be some slight variance though.

Hey guys,

As some of you have noticed, reward tracks are capped at TWO TIERS a day if you are playing in custom arenas. This is intended to prevent botting in custom arenas. There is NO LIMIT to how much progress you can make on reward tracks if you are playing in solo or team arena. Just wanted to clear this up!

PvP team

Hey there,

Looks like the sticky was removed. You can create a ticket by following the link below:

https://help.guildwars2.com/anonymous_requests/new

What sort of connection method are you using? Broadband? Mobile? And are you connecting wirelessly or using a wired connection?

Lastly, have you tried bypassing your router completely and connecting directly through your modem to see if the issue persists?
