Guild Wars 2

I think adding a checklist for hard to remember things is nice. Especially with map completion!

Since Clockwork Chaos update when i try to do an invasion my game crash, last time just when we finish and no rewards for me and it’s really frustrating.

I can’t do living story because i can’t do invasions when before that update game never crashed for me playing pve.

I am like some, in the fact I was excited to have solo queue. I did want solo queue and still do, but quite frankly it has completely turned me off from sPVP. I am so annoyed about the amount of 4v5, even 3v5, starts I have been in.

I am not one of the players who was bashing sPVP before leaderboards and or any of the other additions. I enjoy sPVP for what it is; 5v5 capture and hold an area style of play. I come from a first person shooter background and timed competition is at the heart of those kind of games.

Now, when I think about playing sPVP solo Q, well now I don’t even want to bother. I use to play tournaments fairly regularly. I think I had over 250 tourney matches in before the new queues. Now I have to reestablish myself for solo, and it is completely jacked up. It seems more than 40% of the games I have tried to solo Q start with my team having less than 5 people. So basically, I have lost at least 40% of my matches before the game even starts.

Trolls are going to troll, but it just seems that this issue is not being taken seriously enough yet. I am that player A-Net wants in sPVP. I want to play it without some kind of special incentive. I could give a crud less about not having anything to spend glory on. I want to convince people to play with me because the game type is actually about playing a defined game… Now, hell I have cut back on even loading the game for anything. The thing I enjoyed the most is being ruined by people who don’t like it and A-Net, whether you like hearing it or not, you are giving these people a free pass and those trolls are pushing people away from the game.

Enough ranting and now I offer my two cents on possible things to help. A-Net, you will never be able to stop someone from shutting down the game, so don’t even bother with that idea (if you were.)

1. Instant solo and hot join lockout if you leave a game you were queued for. If a person’s client “crashes” for legitimate or artificial reasons, only allow a box to re-enter queued game. If someone clicks to join any other queue, tourney or hot, then they are greeted with a box of some type informing them that can not join any other game for XX amount of time. The time period should be enough to deter trolls, perhaps the full time length of a tourney map.

2. If teams are in the server during the pre-game countdown, and BOTH teams do not have 5 people at the end of the pre-game countdown, have the server restart the pre-game time clock and instantly go and grab a solo queued player. The game does not start until both teams have five players.

Please A-Net, do something quick about this. I want to play but the enjoyment I had is almost completely gone, and I don’t care how many rewards you throw at me to come back. If this kind of problem is not dealt with more urgency, then this will be one more player who will stop casually even trying to play the game I enjoyed from the beginning… Not trying to make any type of threat, just being 100% honest and hopefully someone who can help will not dismiss this post as another trolling post.

What I like about the new version:

• Being able to see the whole map at all times (wasnt possible before, since it centered to your character and depending where you currently were [e.g. at spawn] you didnt see the whole map).

What I do not like:

• Points have no more text to them, only Skyhammer does not mind that. It’s difficult to communicate based on a symbol.

• You are still not able to see the position of your teammmate at all times (If they are not in a certain range around you, they will not be visible on the minimap).

Changes I would like to see implemented, in order of magnitude:

1. Your teammates should be visible at all times on the minimap, this allows for better communication and actually gives the minimap the feature it should have had all along: an overview of the whole situation.
2. Convert all maps to a A B C point system for better communication, do not just jam the text back into the minimap.

If I am factually wrong on any of those points, please let me know. Otherwise I am looking forward to your opinions.

Have a nice day.

Please disable Glory in Solo Q and give the loser 75 glory and winner 150. there is absolutely 0 resason to have it on during the match and just has hotjoin heroes playing their same zerg gameplay.

If I hear “you suck I got top stat” one more time when we lose I’ll throw something.

The only information the three dots give is the amount of illusions you have up, irregardless of whether they are phantasms or regular clones. Personally, I think it would be nice if the color of the dots was adjusted to indicate a phantasm or a clone, and maybe overlay a weapon icon to indicate the mainhand the illusion is wielding (or maybe what weapon the illusion was summoned with).

Hello,

I believe that the current SoloQ system is broken, for quite a lot of reason. This post is about ideas to improve it. This is not about gameplay or the current meta.

I’ll try to list my idea, starting from the one that requires really few changes to the system.

• If a game isn’t 5v5 when it should start, delay it for a minute. If it’s still not 5v5, cancel it. Sure, it’s not nice to lost time, but it’s way better than playing 4v5.
• Do not group a profession more than twice in a team. This would help in avoiding stupid team setup
• Add a way for a team to cancel a game before it starts. It could bring the dishonour debuff to the whole team, or something. This would avoid playing game you have NO chance of winning. It could be used when a team has, for example, no bunker and the other team has 2.
• When someone disconnects, stop the game for 2 minute (or less if he comes back faster). After two minutes, the game continues.
• If a team played 4v5 for more than X minutes in the game and lose, forgive the lose, but still count the win for the winning team. I believe dishonour would prevent abusing the system.

The last idea is probably the more “complex”, and could lead to problem with queuing, but its worth mentioning to have feedback about it.
Add a way for people to check for role they can fulfill: point holder, roamer, damage dealer, condition dealer.
It could allow for more balanced team setup. What do you think?

PS: Also, please remove SkyHammer !

I’ve watched a few times. Really like the idea! It’s fun to see some new faces and I’ve seen very helpful players stream.

Sami.7923:

plz just nerf duelist or buff gs ranger. But something is wrong when every mes is using this weapon.

No and no. Ranger is one of the best dueling classes out there and possibly the most OP class in the game aside from necros. If you as a ranger cant figure out how to beat a mesmer 1v1 then its on you. Mesmers are in need of massive buffs to be viable again. We were the only class nowhere to be seen in PAX should be a huge hint hint to the state of this class

To all of you complaining about q sync
Yesterday my brother and i who play pvp on a regular basis tried to q sync several times at around 1 o’clock in the morning
Since we sit next to each other it should have been quite easy for us
It didn’t work three or four times then it worked one time but we were in different teams
SO: guys please stop complaining it’s all just luck
Anet: Very good job on this behalf

I have to say it sounds extremely annoying

Name: Copper-fed Salvage-o-matic.
Cost: 800 gems
It costs 3 copper per salvage with 10% chance to recover rares and 20% to recover upgrades (i.e. same as a basic salvage kit). The basic salvage kit comes down to 3.52 copper per salvage so this one is 0.52 copper cheaper per salvage. This is assuming you buy them for coins. Basic salvage kit can also be purchased with karma (77 karma each)

Also comes with sound effects of a golem talking when you salvage things.

Doulou Le Relou.9762:

It’s a sad joke.

Good luck to SYNC, CC don’t deserve to go to final with their despicable behavior.

I won’t watch the PAX final.

+1

CC should be also disqualified for the behaviour of some of their members the day after the finals.

honestly ArenaNet big fail on your part, TP or as it is now Team Curse is by far the best team on EU, I enjoyed every match of them and now they are not THERE, its a bunch of bull kitten….there goes my interest on PAX and Im sure many players will follow.

kind regards

hmmmm… I wonder why it seems simple enough to add them.

SoloQ has been quite a huge success, thanks for listening to the community ANet. If you read the forums, you’ll realize that many people are having some reservations about syncQ, however I think there is another issue to bring to the table.

Although player skill does have a say in a match outcome, GW2 tPvP is heavily dependent on teamwork, strategy and making the right decision at the right time. Because of this, one player by himself cannot carry a team to a win or loss, especially when facing equally skilled players. For this reason, winning or losing is all based on chance, depending on the ability of your randomly assigned teammates and the inability of your randomly assigned opponents. Even if you are the best player in your team and trashing your opponents on your point, if the remaining four teammates are not doing their job on the other points, with the current leaderboard system you don’t get any reward for your effort, because climbing the leaderboard is only concerned with the team winning or losing the match. I think it is crucial for the SoloQ leaderboards to encourage and award good play from skilled players that end up in the losing team. Rather than getting heavily down ranked when losing, these players should be awarded for their effort they put into trying to win the game.

In an ideal world, player performance is assessed individually and given points accordingly, however this is very difficult to achieve in a fair and systematic way. So I had another idea. What if the leaderboard for SoloQ assigns your ranking according to your winning or losing margin? So, if you win a game you get the normal (current system) rating, depending on your opponent leaderboard rankings. However, if you lose a game, you get your rating deducted depending on the margin by which you lose the game. So if you lose by 50 points, your rating goes less down than when you lose by 200 points. I think this system will encourage people to play better, and rewards situations where good players are actually able to win capture points and fights by themselves but their efforts aren’t enough for their team to win. I’m not sure if this idea is already implemented in the formula of the current leaderboard system, however if its not, then it might be a good idea to consider.

I think 3 would be a more reasonable amount

They are not yet in PVP. Figures.
