Guild Wars 2

OP is right.
Right now bad players are rewarded more points than wise teamplayers, who defend points or try to interrupt/prolong enemy captures.
Besides the fact that every monkey and his mother now facerolls with 4+ thieves in every hotjoin match, this is the reason why I won’t even bother playing structured (hotjoin) pvp since everybody’s just zerging like braindead monkeys. It really is a shame how the glory points distribution just encourages players to play bad, even if they will lose the match by doing so.

My precious sylvari necro!

That said, i’ll admit it’s a nice buff for PvE, for PvP tho it’s not so great.

On another note, thanks so much for the epidemic fix anet, it’s so interesting that out of the 100 bugs that hurt necros, they decided to fix the one bug that actually made us stronger.

I agree. For PvP Blood is Power was the only halfway decent way to get a reliable income of LifeForce when specced into Conditions (30 Curses, 30 SR, 10 Blood). I’m talking about TOURNAMENTS, not that 8v8 hotjoin mess.
At least give conditionnecros a chance in Tournaments and raise the Lifeforce gain of Feast of Corruption to 4% or 5%.

Anyway: Epidemic was a sweet, sweet skill to get the defenders off the walls in WvW. Now it’s even more easy to evade those “bursts” of conditions. Even though it was really easy to get rid of them before. Seriously, the casttime already was annoying like hell with the long range in castle attacks – now it’s just annoying for us. There isn’t even a notification like any “out of range” message when your target runs out of range while you cast the spell.

There seems something to be bugging out MAJORLY with 100% Map Completion when you have to finikitten in WvW:
I had only 1 POI missing in the Borderlands (thanks to Vizunah Square for 95% nightcapping!), got it today after waiting almost 2 weeks. Map rewards were 2 level 26 green items (yay!). I saw the 100% account medal, but didn’t get any mail or notification of 100% Map Completion. (The Title + Achievement was awarded properly)

Well, I read this thread, went into the Chantry of Secrets again (I already discovered it before), finally “triggered” the Map Completion since it wouldn’t in WvW and finally received my 2 Gifts of Exploration when clicking the Map Completion Icon next to the Loot Chest.
…then I clicked the lootchest and it showed absolutely nothing where the rewards should have been (blank space where you normally see the icons of the items). I made the mistake to click the accept button and received EXP. Nothing else. great.

I ask myself now: Should the last completion chest be level appropriate items? What should have been in there? I strongly assume that the last loot chest was completely empty because I manually had to trigger 100% by visiting the Chantry of Secrets again and therefore the lootchest wanted to award me for that last zone (=> there is no reward for Chantry of Secrets Zone -> nothing in the lootchest).
