Guild Wars 2

Jitsuryoku.9038:

1. Rewards! After completing first set of chests (and reaching repeatable ones). The rewards are just not worth the time. Assuming you win 1 game every 10 minutes, it takes 3 hours to repeat last chest. 3 Hours to get 20g and ascended shards that can’t buy you anything unless you invest (at least) 6 more hours.
2. Matchmaking…. The biggest problem I see with matchmaking is the fact that score that governs how you get matched is not based on YOUR performance! You can spend the game afk or suiciding, but as long as the team wins – you get positive rating.
Secondary problem with this is that matchmaking’s aim for 50:50 win ratio keeps those worse players afloat!
3. Due to reason above you pretty much have to be able to carry to get to high ranks without it being a game of chance.
4. Daily class win achievements are enabled in ranked pvp results in a lot of horrible team compositions. To protest this, I started only playing daily classes and refuse to swap (even to other daily classes) – maybe if more people start losing with ridiculous team comps, they will realize that class dailies are bad for pvp.

I say since s1, deny players to use a “daily” class on ranked before they done it on hotjoin on unranked to avoid pure joke ppl ruining the game for other.
Anyway as far as i see, pro player just manipulate / farm noobs, pure pvp player are close to giga few, rest are average pver so hf on pvp

What they already said +

Sigil & runes
Booster
unid dyes
All important trophies (raid, or like Chak Eggs)

Now if you want ppl save space, make the final reward of pvp/wvw track stackable (glorious armor box, …)

Hugh Norfolk.2798:

We want to reward players for playing the map while it is in Beta and give a cool title to represent that you were there during its beta phase. The beta tag will not be there forever as we will make changes to the map to bring it up the level of other conquest maps. The achievements are in for around 3 months, going from an entire off-season into a full active season.

After talking with the team we do agree it will be hard for players to get their Capricorn achievements so we have gone ahead and pinned both Coliseum and Capricorn for the next two weeks. Thank you all for you feedback and we will see you in the mists.

Same reply from previous beta pvp map
Make a kitten separate queue if you want ppl really test something

Add a title is for sure easiest than fix pvp or mm
You should give “Still playing legend” or “Handling pvp legend”

Anyway let’s be honnest all pvp title/rank means close to nothing.

Evan Lesh.3295:

Yep… Yep. We on it.

Hope you on win bell bug too

Also being investigated.

Ty for info, let’s hope now you’ll give us the win we didn’t get

Evan Lesh.3295:

Yep… Yep. We on it.

Hope you on win bell bug too

Btw if you win (make last point) with bell, it seems to not count toward win achiv.
Maybe 1 day they can release something tested & filled good for all players (little salt but only the truth ^^)

Dear anet, if you want ppl to test a map, in limited time, make a dedicated queue (like “BETA”).

This will prevent ppl to be frustrated (ppl thinking of other trolling in choose map)

My 2 cents

Since i don’t play the s3 i can’t say much, but all posts seems to be the exact same of s1 (except the abuse mmr thing) & s2. So it seems nothing have been changed in more than 6 month, after 2 epic season, 999999999 feedback of xp and unxp players.
Guess you can hope in a fix in season 12 more or less, if some player left

If you think legend is a goal, you are wrong cause it really means nothing
Now you want to fix ppl stop playing, just fix pvp (the whole thing)
soloq vs teamq, troller/afker of any sort (espcially on end of tier – diam tier teamed with extra noob leggy doing the ap farm class is epic), balance & so on
Why ppl stop ? cause the game is just boring, high skilled player don’t give a kitten of a badge (and they rigth).
Anet have just ruined the only thing make by buy gw² and that’s why switched to bdo 1 month ago
Why post then ? only cause i check sometimes the states of game

what make sense is make ppl get legit something.
If you make it legit, you’ll won’t have trouble to make it again, else maybe you are one of thoose

they won’t and they won’t even take actions.

the 3rd day of league some ppl reported the MMR exploit problem, they let ppl exploit, take 0 action, and fix it 1 week before end of league
they know the MM is not working, they even said they will mod it for saison 2, but did nothing for now
i’ll won’t even argue of stronghold farm, afker/troller who just deny on purpose other and other “exploit” …
Said that, they should have taken a “fair” decision, remove all badge and reset all “primordial legend” achiev since if not mesuring player skill for LOT of them (i guess good player don’t care and can get back to legendary easy). They didn’t do it in past with rank (rank means nothing), they will not do it now (div/badge means nothing too)
For me it’s a total lack of respect for player who just soloq without ‘abusing’ and well, gw is not the only game arroud so, you have choice too

Rename to “Legendary MMR exploit” or “Legendary amber farmer”
or just remove it for this saison
or just give it to all players who completed amber

the true problem is not player who troll, problem is they know even on 5+ ppl reporting them, nothing will happen.

Matchmaking Changes

The matchmaking system in Season 1 uses a blend of both your current division placement in Leagues as well as your individual matchmaking rating (MMR). This means that you’ll generally get paired with and against players in your division that are of similar skill levels. Unfortunately, what this also means is that from day one you’re going to have difficult matches, and because of the way MMR works in Ranked play, you’ll have a very difficult time maintaining enough of a win-streak to progress through tiers and divisions. This is especially true as you climb into divisions such as Ruby where you can lose points as well as tiers. While this system helps ensure that your matches are always as competitive as possible, it does mean that it’s also more difficult to get to the division where you actually belong based on your skill – for example, as a top tier player, the difficulty of your matches in Amber would actually be fairly close to what you’d experience in Ruby and beyond. After analyzing your feedback, we’ve decided to shift toward having your division standing in PvP Leagues be even more reflective of your personal skill level than it currently is.

Beginning with Season 2, matchmaking for Ranked matches will use your placement in your current league division as your primary matchmaking consideration and pair you against players who are placed in the same point range as you, regardless of the skill level (MMR) of the other people in that point range. While we’ll be using divisions to match you against your immediate opponents, we’ll still use your MMR to place you on teams with similarly skilled players (from your division point range) to help ensure that you’re not forced to play with individuals that are of a much higher or lower skill than you. Ultimately, this means that the new matchmaking changes will make PvP Leagues much more reflective of your actual skill, and each division will be progressively more difficult to compete in.

Your algorithm is not working so unless you change more than some costemic things …

Gaile Gray.6029:

A message from the PvP team:
Win Streaks

Since the new matchmaking changes may make matches more volatile at the very beginning of the season (since everyone will be starting in the same division), we’re also planning to introduce a “Win Streak System” into PvP Leagues that will help more skilled players climb through early league divisions and get them into the divisions that they belong. On your third consecutive win (and for every win afterward), you’ll automatically earn extra league points toward your division progress for as long as you can keep the streak going. But keep in mind that a loss while on a win streak will reset your win streak status back to zero, and you’ll need to start another win streak in order to begin gaining extra points again.

Let’s speak about soloq only here. Your matchmaking will give you an average of 50% win, so unless you maxi lucky boost 0 = 0 boost. No soloq next saison ?

Gaile Gray.6029:

A message from the PvP team:
Shopping for Ambers

In addition to the changes above, we’ll also be adjusting the way that parties are scored in our matchmaking algorithm based on the overall division spread of a team’s makeup. It is important to us that anyone can play with their friends regardless of league standing, but in doing so, we also want to ensure that teams aren’t gaining an unfair advantage in match difficulty based on their rosters. An example of this would be two friends: one is in Diamond and the other is in Amber. For Season 2, these two players will still be able to team up and play together, but they’ll be placed into Diamond level matches based on the highest division player in the party. This means that forming a party with players in a higher division than you will always bring you up to their level for matchmaking and prediction, rather than adjust to compensate for party members at lower divisions. This specific change will go into effect in our next scheduled release (prior to the end of season 1).

Ok so basically you try to fix something at end (2 weeks till end of saison 1). Now the question : so what to all ppl who have abused the system ? nothing ? so the other who just played the ‘fair’ way are stupid ?

Gaile Gray.6029:

Hi all,

We’ve been closely monitoring PvP Leagues since their release this last Tuesday and we’d like to provide an update on where things currently stand. Some of this information is available in other locations, but it’s always good to have everything in one place.

Match Manipulation

There have been reports of players intentionally losing games in an effort to lower their overall matchmaking rating. The idea is that if they lower their rating, their subsequent games will become easier, and they will gain pips more reliably in future win streaks. Regardless of how unlikely this is to actually happen (read on for why), we’re still not cool with players intentionally losing as this is in direct violation of our Code of Conduct.

In the short-term, our customer support team will be investigating reports of this and punishing the behavior accordingly. Please use the “Botting” reporting option to bring these instances to the attention of our team. For a longer-term solution, we’ll be working on improving the in-game reporting system to better handle these types of situations. Chris Clearly has been posting on the topic here.

One more question : what about ppl who troll ? we all got afker or troller at some point (they do it on purpose, i don’t speak about dc but ppl who stop play and just walk arround, trash or afk). You asked to report as bot, nothing seems to happen (and they know that), so they continu and ppl continu to loose pip, any brainstorming, fix or action about that ?

not working well ? Can’t be, i just lost full soloq vs full premade, 600/25 with a rage 35 sec after game started and lost a pip

not working well ? Can’t be, i just lost full soloq vs full premade, 600/25 with a rage 35 sec after game started and lost a pip

They can’t release skill update cause it’s too complicated (the today update seems more fix than update) …
They can’t modify system (add soloq) cause it’s too complicated….
At this point, for me, and since league are a real pure fail, they should just add a simple limit to pip can loose per day as soloer (like 5 or 10). For sure we all imagine ppl will “grind”, but wait guild farming pug & manipulate system not better and at least, with a simple modification, ppl won’t be stuck forever.

Since lunch of gw2 anet didn’t give a XXX to pvp.
Farm rank in private arena, joke balance (oh wait once or two a year ?)
Soloq mixed with teamq/guild
The pvp on gw1 was really good, on gw2 it’s just a pure fail and this league is just another clear demonstration
Special thing for devs : your MMR algo can’t and will never work, skill of player 1+2+3+4+5 will never give you a real team skill. Exp of player 1+2+3+4+5 will never give you the exp of team ! Individual <> group

or just cause nothing can excuse a so epic fail !

64b or not, make a 2h+ event and dont provide something to ppl who got a crash to join back is just not possible !
I just got a crash (never got crash before HoT) at the very end of DS event, and i’m really REALLY upset (to not say kittened)

i can’t resist to reply here !
In the past i reported like 5-6 ppl for real exploit or really “stepping over the line” : result not a single reply, not a single action (they are still on my blacklist and since we can see blacklisted ppl, account are still active/used).
Nice communication, but action are way better imo

Scandi.5693:

AP is a useless thing, used by elitists to artificially measure other players. There should be no other incentive associated with AP farming than those already awarded. I mostly WvW (but have done alot of pve), so my AP is under 10k (as WvW is subpar in the AP department). But I would challenge the notion any of these AP farmers are better at anything in the game simply because they farm AP, thus are entitled to even more things.

Totally agree.
If anet want ppl to continue play the game, fix the rng kitten system instead of add useless form of ap farm (like blc or collection revamp). Ppl are kittened out cause even if they play a lot, they could drop nothing and the only ‘goal’ avail atm on game is that pointless sort of ap farm

Malediktus.9250:

Because then the AP leaderboard would be pointless and everyone had about the same AP in the top 1000.

Oh wait he is not pointless rigth now ?

i’ll explain why you think it’s not accurate or bugged and now fixed.

You played beta this weekend and made some ap.

Since your beta is a clone of your main at the date you created it, you prolly have less ap on it (cause you didn’t do daily on it as exemple).
Now leaderbord is updated with the last +1 or more ap you made.

Sample : main 1000ap / beta 900ap
Sunday : daily on main (1010) then play beta and made 1 ap (901) → you loose position
Monday : daily on main (1020) → return on original position

I’ve said it long time ago and still think, remove useless leaderboard ftw !

“Owned by RNG”

Hello,

I suggest to add a x10 recipe version of core promotion for mystic forge. This will save a lot ot time (and i thing mouse of players will thx you)

Exemple for Charged Lodestone :

20 Charged Core
10 Bottle of Elonian Wine
10 Pile of Crystalline Dust
10 Mystic Crystal

Iglosen.4709:

To all the arrogant comments here:

Dont act so rude if you never have tried to code a game. Implanting something have a big chance of breaking something else, so just stop and give Anet break :/

That’s why you have test/bench before release update.

I close never comment update but you can’t blame ppl here, lot of issues are really EASY to find since you just have to log in and check, i can’t even understand how a serious company can release bugged patch like this.

i wish to be wrong, but i’m sorry for you guys, they won’t fix anything imo
So try take it relaxed (if you can) and enjoy the lag …

My 2 cents
What anet say : “no grind”
What anet do : “more grind”

Guild Wars is a really great game, but saying that it has no grind is just…laughable. There are grinds in this game that would make a medieval grain mill jealous.

Mini game like dragonball is not gw² for me, the problem is anet say a lot of things but they made the opposite.
Back to the op, ask arround, lot (but not all) have trouble to do it. Add hard content is way ok for me, but recycle ridiculous mini activity and encourage ppl to play it that way is just … sad …

My 2 cents
What anet say : “no grind”
What anet do : “more grind”

This achievement is ridiculous right now, imo reduce to 10 rupt or change to 100 daze (and not only rupt) but i really doubt they will modify it (even a change is really easy to make)

Anet failed bad with AP from start. They failed more with ‘buy to get ap’ as know as black lion collection. They still didn’t understand after XX thread of QoL and add for xmas boring (they are only) old long activity.

I personnally just thx anet for the respect they have for players trying to ‘push’ them to play the way they want ( = anet want )

My advice, stay with your familly and leave the AP where they are

if we speak about bug
Treasure Hunter → Royal Signet of Doric infused don’t work.

Imo don’t give hero armor since leaderboard can be easy “manipulate” and just give pet (lamma) to player who have 500/1000/2000+ game (don’t means skill but at least means veteran)

Anonymous Player.3079:

Ok let’s be clear and give some sample how gw² is becoming all about money farm or use your credit card (aka gems) masta powa
Average player make 10-20g MAX a day -> ok
Legendary : look price on tp, do some math, better buy ! You don’t have gold, wait gem is the solution (so credit card) that’s why some 2k ap have 2-3 legendary (thx mum)
Now let speak about the new pro system “collection” : once again look price on tp. The best joke is about Black Lion. 1 collection is arround 1900g. Atm there is “only” 13 to do so …

legendary weapons are 100% completely unnecessary to play the game. It’s a luxury item that you can chose to persue as a long term goal. If you don’t have the patience to farm (Some of my guildies have been playing since the game’s release and don’t have a legendary, because they don’t want one), that’s your problem, not ANet’s.

If you want to buy your way through the game, then for sure, you can expect to pay a lot to do so, but the point is, you are not, EVER forced to shell out money. It’s your choice, and yours alone, to pump money in to the game if you don’t have the patience to complete collections/other content over time.

Don’t blame the developers – Whose goal it is to create long term content and objectives for players - for your lack of patience

There is 1 problem here → what long term content you speaking about ? Long term goal for me is not farm over and over. The collection system is just a how to recycle old stuff nothing else. Now if you want to speak about long term ‘goal’ like the gw1 GWAMM, tell me where it is cause i’m for sure missing something.

Last thing, concidering the collection a long term thing (aka legendary + all collections), just try to estimate the time you’ll need to complete them (RNG is your friend btw) .

Ok let’s be clear and give some sample how gw² is becoming all about money farm or use your credit card (aka gems) masta powa

Last but not least pvp : oh wait they already bashed it low time ago, just look game tab and count “farm” server … How do you make private server ? gems …

I’m maybe totally wrong, but i’m really really disappointed

Veydar.5017:

The gem store ruins everything.

Totally agree

They should now rename to “Pay Wars2”

One word : PayWars 2

the idea is not search if someone who join is blacklisted or not, but direct notice/see it but maybe i’m too lazy

Hello,

Sorry if someone already had already the same idea, i didn’t find it.

Atm when you join a party, you can’t instant see if you are with one or more ppl you blocked. You have to check yourself and it’s a little bit annoying.

So have something that identify thoose ppl directly like the name in red or a little icon neer there name would be great imo

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

I wonder how many people took that completely literally, like this. It seems a bit of an unfair stretch to say “well the item I want is Eternity!” and then complain about the required work for something meant to be a long-term goal like Legendaries were.

Work to get a legendary is fine to me, but hope in a drop of a pre to be able to do it
Some friend have bashed more than 2000 gs on mystik toilet and didn’t get 1.

Anyway as i said for me it’s just a ‘how to make player pay more’ patch but i’m maybe wrong ^^

I remember on gw2 lunch, anet said “you’ll don’t be forced to do over and over the same thing to get the item you want” and they already failed on that. Lot of players don’t even make 10g/day so imagine how long it take to make a legendary.

Now explain me something : how can you get, for exemple, all black lion collections without farming like a pure no life (and don’t do anything else) or using real money ?

Just to get 1 of them (chaos for exemple), you’ll need arround 1900g (assuming 1 skin is arround 100g atm on tp). Assuming 10g/day is doable for most of player, that will take 10*19 arround 190 days to complete

The real goal of this update is somehow to incite players to buy gems, nothing else.

After the pay to win on some games, anet have made a new concept : pay to get ap and be on kitteneless leaderboad !!!

What’s wrong ?
All what they said up + 1 thing
go pvp panel, look game browser, search “farm” …
They bashed the only specific reward from pvp aka emote/rank … Imo they can do update 1 more thing before remove pvp from gw² : buy rank from gems .
Will be faster and less hypocrite

well if understand the plan of anet
hotjoin = learn/practice
then go
soloq for first competitive approch
both are epic
i agree with the need of fast update, but look at 4v5 problem, simple to fix, close 2y later still here so …

let’s be honnest, pvp is pure fail on gw²
Rank means nothing (enjoy the skykittenfarm), map are bad design, soloq / hotjoin is a joke
Sad but nothing will change

Dev team working on pvp, is this a joke ?
How can it take to fix 4v5 game ?
How can it take to put a minimun hotjoin game played before ppl can go tornament ?

Sorry for that silly post but be honnest and just remove pvp from gw² !

useless to wait more, i’ll give up
I remember the “play the way you like”, it’s pure fail pvp and pve
noob pvp system, 0 fix only blablabla
pve cosmetic patch only let’s zerg

Ok since i’ve already asked on my main language forum but without any reply …
Can someone tell me if the cultural armor will count (in a secret special can’t speak patch) for fashion achievement or never. A reply before the glory remove will be nice since i don’t want to waste 300g

thx anet for giving pvp so much reward till start …
I have more than 500 booster left now some math:

1/03 → 18/03 = 18 days * 24h = 432

So even if i play 24/24 for 18d i’ll won’t use all of them

As someone already said, all is vain …

Useless to trash, they always do the way they want to !
the only ppl who can qq are ap farmer than can’t play all day/night since they prolly miss the 1 pt achievement for daily (OMG OMG OMG 1 pt lost, i’ll drop in leaderboards !!! Oh wait anet never said player have to be equal )
