…you should begin earning tournament rewards again once you’ve earned more tournament reward chests than the amount you earned in your original server region.
I earned around 1000 tournament reward chests in my original server.
Transferred this morning. Found this bug and then this year-old thread.
Given that their patches end up disappointing the PvP community, they probably want to keep your hopes up as long as possible before bursting it on the patch day.
They also don’t want help from the community. That would lead to PvP actually improving — not in their interest.
People are expecting a huge update to PVP this month.
These people expect a huge PvP update every month. It’s only to keep hopes up.
ArenaNet: “We never said exactly when the PvP patch would be, the big one.”
Despite the video being from last month, does it sound like “the big PvP update” will be this month? No. Does ArenaNet know when it’ll be? Probably not.
ArenaNet don’t keep players in the loop because they have too many uncertainties. They don’t have real answers to questions people ask, so they keep quiet or tip-toe around the questions when they begin to feel the guilt of keeping players in the dark.
I’m sure they’re trying their best to improve PvP. Unfortunately for them, their pace is not quick enough to satisfy many players.
What if that lvl 1 was playing alt acct and his main was actually 20-30, in that case the mmr is working. How many lvls 1’s would start by solo joining lol
If main is lvl 20, then his alt is lvl 20.
I’m pretty sure he was referring to an alternate account, not character.
In which case the MMR is not working; MMR is account specific.
This expectation / behaviour has been drummed into people over years of playing traditional MMOs. GW2 uses a different style of gameplay, and this will take longer to grasp for some players than others.
In hotjoin sPvP, I was fond of using the spirit sword as my one SW, traited with improved duration and a fire inside. The burning damage from it was satisfying. The drawbacks of SWs, despite being invulnerable, meant that it was better to swap it out for a more useful utility in tournaments. Nonetheless, it was fun for me to use a SW in hotjoins.
I support this. It seems fair for boons to be as removable as conditions are. It could help with the problem of bunkers being too dominant in a conquest game (if this is still a problem for most people, that is).
- When trying to stomp an enemy thief in Structured PvP or WvWvW, Judge’s intervention can be used to prevent them from getting away with a teleport. Begin stomping, and teleport to them whenever they teleport away, so that your stomp will not miss.(If anyone could confirm this, that would be greatly appreciated)
This works fine, provided the guardian does not lose target on the thief. Target is lost if the thief is stealthed, such as through the thief’s own smoke bomb downed skill. Attempt to stomp (and teleport if necessary) before smoke bomb finishes its initial cool-down.
The PvP window is no longer accessed through the Hero panel. It now has a separate panel of its own; look for the crossed-swords icon. We can still leave a game / leave the Mists as before.
