Guild Wars 2

Hi this is Reverence from Guild Wars MATH team.

My friend and i we have started a rank 50+ fun guild, called Swagholics Anonymous [SWAG] you should be rabk 50 .. we dont do tourney much and we are not so serious, we just like to be the top scores in hotjoin and create some competitive scene.

if ya like to join MSG me.

Rgds,

Dear Jonthan Sharp,

We have came back to playing the game once again after we have stopped for 2 months (PS we are rank 50\s PvP players in the guild), i love the spec mode.. I need to know whether you will implement:

1- GvG
2- HoH
3- Guild Ladders and the Guild Wars 1 Winner broadcast.

Kindly respond to this thread.

Rgds,

alcopaul.2156:

Rank 1 played 605 games. You played 1229 games. You should be rank Zero or negative one based on the numbers of games you played, man.

Where are you lol?

Okay good job Anet on observer.

Can you now make a Guild Vs Guild ladder and something like Hall of Heroes?

Can you reply if that is coming down the line.

milo.6942:

bloodbird that is a good post. the only thing i disagree with is the last one. if we want a proper pvp, we must accept that there will be differences between pve and pvp.

other things: xp gain during pvp I think is ok, but it must slightly slower than what you would gain in pve. else we get all kinds of pve ppl in here trying to lvl fast.

I think the overall headline of your post should be this:
it’s obvious the devs are not taking spvp seriously. this is a serious mistake. they need to consider the possibilities that gw2 pvp has, and act on them in a serious manner. there are many proven business models for esports, and many people expect something similar. and they expected it yesterday, not in some nebulous tomorrow where the excuse that LoL took years to get off the ground allows you to put development off.

hire more people. make pvp f2p. draw up a proper business model that can leverage the popularity of f2p into the cash shop and even into box sales. but above all, get a good team that knows how to develop appropriate features in a timely manner.

if you don’t take your pvp players seriously, they won’t take you seriously either.

edit: there are many examples of the pvp in this game not being taken seriously by the developers in addition to the lack of any substantial updates at all. E.G. the fact that glory exists as both an outward facing measure of a player, and a pve reward mechanism. I really don’t have appropriate words to express my disappointment with this. GLORY BOOSTER?? yes, rank is an excellent measure of player skill… in hello kitty pvp land, where no matter if you lose every single match you can still reach r40 if you keep grinding. the idea that mmr should be hidden is also another indicator that we are attempting to cater far too much to casuals. this entire system needs to be redone, bottom to top.

updated with ya words milo, thanks

Sanis.1096:

XP in PvP? no thx… and pretty much everything you ask has been answered

Nothing has been answered, no one knows what are they bringing in the next patch, and am pretty much sick of “WHEN IT’s READY”

PS: all you pro gamers if you have ideas please pad it.

Hello Anet,

I have spent a lot of time pvping, am rank 49 and i was from your math teacher guild in GW1, yeah the iway noobs…

i demand an answer for the questions below, because am thinking of quitting the game for good because the game is getting really stale. and you are 100% turned a deaf ear for all thousands of players who played the game.

PS: Don’t move this thread like you did last time.

Quoted Uber Lander:
“I will be updating this list to reflect the the improvement’s wanted from the development team.

This is a constructive thread, so feel free too add a sentence or 2 for reasons of the improvement.

1.More GW 1 pvp content integrated into GW 2
2.Ladder system (GvG Ladder and Individual Ladder)
3.Introduce random map or chance to vote any map.
4.Solo/duo queue in a tournament. Premade queue in another tournament . Solo/duo rating and team premade rating separated
5.Solve 3-4vs5 people problem. Add a chance to replace a team mate before the match starts.
6.Re-work hot-joins. Eliminate 8vs8. Less reward compared to tournament format (but in general, rewards have to be better).
7.Daily / Monthly Tournaments
8.Reworking the Reward-system*
9.Reworking the Rank-Progression: Means you grinding faster while playing hot-join (where no skill etc is needed), where playing tournament brings you a useless chest)
10.Get Hall of Heroes back
11.Get Guild Vs Guild back (IS this Guild Wars?)
12.Bring in game observer mode for the last map instead of twitch.
13.Bring the Ghostly Hero back
14.Bring Hall of Heroes winner broadcast.
15.Bring back guild capes (Optional To Wear)
16.Buff the HP for all classes equally for “Death Match Mode” like up to 100K HP if necessary.
17.Each battle could give you a small amount of xp along with glory for each battle. Xp could be earned for reaching a certain score each match.
18- why cant the pvp players go outside the pvp arena and participate in WvW with the same ammulets and gear from pvp?! i dont like hitting npcs.

Just bring Guild Wars 1 PVP is not that hard.

Thank you guys .

i didnt know

Hello,

Please check this bug with the staff, its not working! it says staff and it’s deposited as staff!

Why is it bugged?

Just bring GW1 PvP already

so basically GW1?

The first day i played the game back in august i had asked Jon Peters few questions

1- Are you going to bring Hall of Heroes?
JP: Unlikely

2- Are you going to implement /rank?
JP: No

3-Why?
JP: It gives superiority over other players.

4- Are you going to bring a ladder?
JP: Yes

5-Are you going to implement GvG?
JP:Yes

6- Are you going to centralize PvP and GvG?
JP: No

7- Are you going to bring observer and server broadcast?
JP: Maybe

I ask you, instead of going and asking some 15 years old kid about how to improve the game, you should have listend to the old GW1 players who made your game so popular.

Please just bring back Hall of Heroes (just copy and paste a pve dungeon , area and add couple of Ghostly Heroes and a big altar and couple of orbs)

Rgds,

bloodbird. GW1 R E V E R E N C E, Your Math Teacher[MATH] – Guild

milo.6942:

“Waiting For GW2 GvG” [4evr]

milo.6942:

You should start GW1 guild instead.

Hi my name is bloodbird,

Am creating a new guild called “When Its Ready” tag [RDY]

Am ready, are you ready? If you are not ready so when are you going to be ready?

We are recruting competitive PVP players for Guild Vs Guils ladder observer action when its ready, so keep hope alive.

Xeph.4513:

Dardamaniac.1295:

many top players was upset with this patch..So is Team Paradigm thinking of quiting this game?

Personally I am considering it.

+1 same

Sand Beagle.9867:

Engineer
Elixir S: This skill is now correctly makes the caster smaller and applies blind for 1.5s, as originally intended. There is now a random chance for the elixir to backfire and make the engineer twice as large and confuse him for 9 seconds.
Grenade Barrage: This skill’s damage has been increased by 37%, and the number of grenades has been reduced to 3. Grenades now apply poison for 4 seconds.

Warrior
Bull’s Charge: This skill is now a projectile combo finisher.
Eviscerate: This skill’s damage has been reduced by 30%, and now applies a random condition for 3 seconds.
Kill Shot: This skill has been removed, and replaced with a new skill, Head Shot.
Head Shot: This skill fires a powerful shot to the opponent’s head, causing them to run with fright. Applies fear for 1s, which increases by 1s for each level of Adrenaline. The activation time has now been correctly increased to 8 seconds, as was originally intended.

Necro
Ghastly Claws: This skill’s damage has been increased by 13% and updated to indicate the correct life force gained.

Mesmer
Portal: This skill’s tooltip has been corrected to show the true recharge rate of 92 seconds.

Ranger
Protect Me: Pets will now correctly absorb all damage against the Ranger and store it inside their bodies as potential energy. Once a total damage equal to 40% of the Ranger’s hit points has been absorbed, the pet will open its mouth and mightily roar at the enemy target, releasing the stored energy as a blinding blue beam which hits all enemies near the beam and the target for 200% of the absorbed damage, plus a bonus damage equal to 50% of the Ranger’s combined power, precision, and toughness if the target is suffering from a condition, as originally intended.

Guardian
Empower: This skill no longer stacks might, but instead applies quickness for 10 seconds for each pulse. There is now a 5% chance for the Guardian to be teleported to a random capture point for each pulse.

Thief
Thieves no longer passively gain initiative. Initiative can now only be gained while stealthed. Stealth can now correctly be toggled on or off using F2.

Elementalist
Elementalist’s have been changed to a heavy class and can now use greatswords and wear heavy armor, as originally intended. In addition, Elementalists now have the “Gold’s Gym” attunement which grants them access to all Warrior skills and utilities.

hahahaha i lauffed so hard on this post , especially the ranger +1

i add this too, i got banned for it as usual.

wrote this 4 moths back, please see your fail new map wont help the SOTG

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/My-PVP-Experience-in-GW2/first#post394675

What was so special about Guild Wars 1 was that you can get famous and renowned, your guild can get famous, the playes are famous, here i dont feel the same, i dont even feel like playing pvp anymore. even if we have players in the guild there is nothing to play for, what is this thing about the paid tournaments, we get gems! big deal, i can swipe my credit card and buy the entire store.

why u didnt keep the pvp the same as it was in GW1, and you say we listen to us! no you dont, i knew the pvp is going to fail even before the release, you should have listend to the Beta players.

i dont even know what i keep coming back to forums and post, but because we loved GW1, i was pvp rank 13 in gw1 ans so many other players, we loved the pvp competion, the combos, the TEAM PLAY! the builds, the thinking involved in making builds..this game i cant feel it!

Here the rank does not mean anything, if you win a pvp no body cares, and most of ull all my guild members now are not playing pvp anymore, and me 2 i just want to stop pvping.

so please, this new paid tpvp is not really smoething nice, we need something like the “Hall of Heros” the 8 vs 8 game, ranger spike, ele spike, iway, derv way, build way, thumper way, etc … that was the CORE of GW1, the fame , the broadcast of the winner of halls, the favors , Korea VS America VS Europe, god pvp favors .. why did you give it all up!!!

epic rant , you make me feel good

daydream.2938:

Who freaking cares.
All a guild is , is a group of players.
Your already playing players.

IT MAKES 0 DIFFERENCE if its vs a guild or a team.

Its still 5 players vs 5 players.
this is the most completley irrelevant thing ever.

What the F difference does it make if everyone your facing is in the same guild or not.
0 DIFFERENCE. this is completely 100% all in your head.

go pve

Hello,

This is SNOWRED from Godlike Power Pew

We are looking to challange other pvp guilds out there.
so please post your name and guild or contact me ingame
PS we are on NA

" I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to condition and burst my brothers"

We currently have 106 pvp members most of them are ranks 40+ , if you dont speak english that’s okay as well.

We raid/ grind servers en masse and help our team m8’s out for fun, some members do tpvp (but for me personally am sick of it, and am sick of the QP’s, teh same gear, no ladder, no fame , getting boring) And hoping for Guild Vs Guild , Observer Mode, Guild Halls, and server braod cast , and GvG Worldwide not only NA. God howmuch i miss GW1.

In our guild we are brothers (We have a sister lol) and we play all classes not only rangers….

if you fit in please PM me , or Soundbite , death by swag , nag ra or any member so that you talk to (our guild is based on ranks)…

Khyras.8021:

BLOODBIRD.9386:

The problem is that good guilds and the premades should be playing GvG now for ladder ranking not for rewards and stupid QP’s. if you have GvG you wont see good teams Qing up for paids, you will have guild players practicing builds to get ladder ranking … but that’s okay, none of those Grouch, JAVA , LOWELL have mentioned that… GvG is a top priority

They dont want solo queue because they want top teams to farm new players, so then new players continue to buy tickets.

“We dont want to split PvP to small rooms like we did in GW1” Jonthan Sharp..

Lets see:

GW1:
Random Arenas: Casual Players (happy)
GvG: hardcore/casual players (happy) + Observer Mode + ladder
HA: Servers Full most of the time, Hardcore PvPers happy + Observer + Servers Broadcast.

GW2:
WE ARE NOT HAPPY,!

Please when you release GW3, please call it Qualifying Points 3

they both lie! you smell that ….

OF course and Ladder!!!!

I think most of the players did not play GW1?! Please if you read this vote for Guild VS Guild 8 Players VS 8 Players like GW1? Say either Yes or No
VOTE:
I vote yes

Dear Jonthan Sharp,

Why is it so hard for you and the rest of your crew to re-create Hall of Heros once again?

please, dont add couple of lame maps in Feb and then say we are working on something new, please!!!

Dear Developers,

Can you please create a template for our characters ASAP, am really tired of going and readjusting the trait everytime i want to change.

For example, i want AOE Firebow Warrior, so i press saved 1 in trait and i get 30 Arms, 30 Tuffness 10 Power .
now in traits i have another template called “100 noobs” so i press 2 and i get 30 arms, 30 tuffness and 10 power.

i guess you get the picture.

rgds,

Shukran, yeah you are right!

i think it’s all about PVE now, RIP PvP

Shukran.4851:

u cant guest NA if you are EU. you can guest from desolation EU to blacktide EU for example.

which is just “Stupid”

“Because (different from a world transfer) we are not moving your character between data centers, you may only guest on worlds in the same region as your home world. Players on North American home worlds cannot guest on European worlds or vice versa.
You may not participate in World vs. World on your guest world. If you choose to enter World vs. World on the world you are guesting on, you’ll be moved back to your home world. If you want to play World vs. World on the world you’re guesting on, you must perform a full world transfer to that world.”

So i go as a guest in North American servers to play with my friends and see how he looks like, how about we just go whoop some European kitten in PvP as a team (or guests) and R E P R E S E N T like GW1 instead of this corny ideas of yours..

again, who is developing this game?

MY GOD!!!!!

nice video …

Dear All,

we have been waiting for months and thats all you can come up with?!

Where is the centralized server for PVP? Will be able to play against the people in Europe, or again you are coming with the delay , its 2013?

seriously you are !@#$!#%^%#$^#$%&^$%!$#

Arena Campaign required Description

“Trebachaaaaaaaaaaay”

My god! Seriously …so annoying , i love to mute the guy

Take a look how sexy Hall of Heros was

Hall of Heroes is lit by an unearthly glow at its center. In 851 AE, Lord Odran opened various portals into the Rift and to the Hall of Heroes and hid them in the most dangerous places, behind various traps and wards. However, with his death, the wards disappeared and soon the Hall of Heroes became a battle of honor among the living. There are only three portals that are known: in the Tomb of Drascir, Tomb of the Primeval Kings, and on the Battle Isles.

The Hall of Heroes acts as the fourth and final area of the Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings. It houses statues of the Gods of Tyria and is besieged by the three Darknesses. Upon killing all of three of the Darknesses, several Lost Souls will cheer the victory and fireworks will appear followed by a countdown timer, which sends players back to the Tomb of the Primeval Kings.
