Guild Wars 2

Mckeone.9804:

Inflation is a macroeconomic concept that describes changes in the general prices for goods and services in an economy. If there is inflation, the value of 1 unit of currency is decreasing. If there is deflation, the value of 1 unit of currency increases.

Generally speaking, inflation occurs for two broad reasons: (1) excess currency allows consumers to bid up the general price levels (demand driven) and (2) increased production costs drive up general price levels (supply driven).

Inflation is not typically used to describe changes in the price level for individual goods. Instead, that is just a result of changes in the marketing clearing price based on supply and demand.

Complaining about inflation in the abstract is pointless because you also have to consider the changes in consumer income generation. 100 years ago, it may have only cost $100 per month to rent an apartment, but people earned significantly less then too. Instead, you have to think about the relative purchasing power per unit of earnings. For example: Assume that you want to buy a piece of gear. One year ago, that piece of gear cost 5 gold and it takes you 1 hour to earn 5 gold. Today, that piece of gear costs 6 gold, but now you can earn 6 gold in 1 hour instead of 5. It’s all relative.

If I may suggest, Mr. Draghi from the European Central Bank has speech every 1st Thursday of the month.
He often explains why big inflation or deflation is bad for economy.

Great post. I dont think it will be taken into consideration though(

How about converting PvP materials into PvE crafting materials?

yes please

How about crafting PvP gears and bring them into PvE?

I have crafted all armour available for my rank and I still have tons of materials.

How about converting PvP materials into PvE crafting materials?

I know many ppl who would queue for solo arena.
But they dont queue because they hate Skyham map.

You say that PvP players don’t get gold, let me ask you this, WTF does a PvP player spend gold on?

Convert into gems and buy skins? Legendaries?

Ppl who played almost no PvP will soon run in the Mist with their legendaries.
Ppl who spent 2k+ hours PvPing will have … nothing. Frustrating.

There should be big retrospective rewards based on the rank to compensate this.

Again, all cosmetic. What does it mean if you have legendaries in sPvP. Nothing. A PvE’er with full legendary and ascended gear will always lose to an experienced PvPer with basic beginner armor. Armor has no stats.

Do you PvP to test your skill or do you PvP to ogle at people’s pretty armor?

This game is all about cosmetics. And unless you are still wearing your starting “PvP armor”, I take your point as irrelevant.

This is so wrong thinking lol

Why do you think so?

Any advice from the Staff, pls?

Bump
15 characters

Could somebody from Staff suggest what to do with all these mats pls?

Definitely the worst map for tPvP.
Still waiting for removal.

So when will we see Skyhammer in Team arena?
Or when will you remove it from Solo arena?

What is the reason for having it only in one bracket?

I stopped playing solo-queue until Skyhammer is removed.

I rly wonder why the map isnt in team arena, it should either be in both or in none.

Shar.3402:

SkyHammer in soloQ is what made me stop playing -.-

Same here.

Why to change the map?? Ppl are having fun there in hotjoins.
Just remove it from turnaments, thats all. Why to push it so hard to stay there?

I stopped playing solo-queue only because of Skyhammer. And I know Im not the only one Btw great map for Quake III.

Need hotfix for sync ASAP..

Mesmer……….

Dailies / monthlies should not count for obvious reason.

1. Separated solo queue and premades (+ separated leaderboards)
2. Changed reward system (I am sitting on tons of glory and laurels. The reward should not be exclusively linked to player’s rank)
3. Either class build diversification or new pvp mode

That curve is an overkill. There will be GW3 before at least 5 ppl get to r80.
One would be more motivated to play if the new rewards were available every 5 ranks instead of 10.

I suggest adding 1k glory token available in shop for 1 laurel (what do you do with your laurels anyway?).

The question is, why would I do painful daily if I have no PvP items that I could spend the painfully earned laurels for?

Is this daily change somehow connected with the new PvP reward system (planned for one of the next patches)? If so, it would make sense to bring both changes at the same time.

Pugs vs Premade can never work. Its boring for both sides, no real competition.
We need separated queues, top priority since the very first day.

How about adding PvP skins to laurel NPC? There is plenty of PvE rewards but not many things dedicated PvPers would be interested in.

1. separated solo queue and premades. (also in leaderboard)
2. class balancing and bug fixes

rest is quite unimportant for me

Premades take it srsly. Puggers dont give a kitten
Need solo queue rating separated from premades otherwise there is no point in all this.

Whipem.1705:

You guys need to stop complaining about solo que vs premades…

If you don’t want to play tournament style then don’t. If you solo queue then you do so at your own risk.

Smart thing to do would be to create a group and play that way if you can’t stand pug’s in tournaments.

Remember it is TOURNAMENT PVP. there is another sPVP you can go play.

Quit complaining about this. There are more important aspects we should be addressing. Like Class balancing, Rating system, etc….

Thanks

You are completely wrong. Its the majority of PvP population you are talking about. Imagine them having stopped playing tPvP and you together with the rest 24 teams playing there alone.

Gained 18 ranks by playing 0 games
Suspicious but not necessarily bugged.

Anyway too many premades in top 100. Looks like we need separation of solo-queues and premades. Community seems to be large enough.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

We understand that leaderboards are very important to you, but please understand that we also want to make sure they work as intended, because I am very sure incorrectly working leaderboards would not make a highly competitive PvP base happy.

In that case we need separated solo queues and premades. Otherwise we will always see premades on the top of the leaderboard. I believe, correct me if Im wrong, that majority of PvPers are not playing in premades and are not using voice-chat and forcing them to would not be correct.

And what if your team consists of 5 random ppl and you lose vs. a voice-chat premade only because they have voice coordination?

Matchmaking will fix itself in some time.

How about Pugs vs voice-chat premade? Where is the competitiveness?
We dont need leaderboard for that as it has zero value until solo-queuers and premades get separated. It has always been THE priority.

Okay but pls now separate premades from solo queues. Not fun to paly vs voice-chat premade. Basically it means you are always outnumbered.

Not fun to lose vs ppl who are lame as individuals and only profit from voice-chat advantage.

Lets make a bet … GW3 comes out before 3 ppl reach rank 80?

r70? Jesus!! I consider myself to be quite a PvPer (r40 atm), but it would take over 4 years to get to r70. The scaling is just insane. Before I get to rank 70, there will be GW3.

WTB some massive glory boosts to get some motivation. Goals should be achievable.

If you are top rank then its obvious you will be facing only a small variety of opponents.
Like in WoW arenas.

On the other hand a big majority of players LOVE this matchmaking system. Ppl that would never play turnaments were attracted by this system and population base increased.

From my experience I can tell the difference – some kind of matchmaking was being tested yesterday (havent played today yet, maybe it still is). Like 90% of my paids were against enemies with same rank as our pug team had. And we never faced same team twice.

Another step in the right direction. <3

Pls keep 1v1 paids system. Everybody ingame I know is very happy with it.
Now we just need some matchmaking and ranking system.

We are going the right direction!!

We need separated solo queue and premade queue.
Without this being implemented, we are losing crushing majority of tPvPers in both free and paid turnaments.

Top priority.

Unreal.4231:

just post or something if you support the idea for a solo queue and rating system. that is all.

Signed.

Totally agree with OP.

I hope they will separate tPvP solo queue and premades.
I dont care about anything else atm.

Separating solo queue and premade queue for tPvP would be much apreciated.

Solo queue and premade queue for tPvP must be SEPARATED ASAP, before its too late.

Matchmaking system, solo/multi queue tPvP system, nerf guardians and im happy.
