Guild Wars 2

real reason why the decicion is unfair:

team salt went to an admin telling him that the team MC is possibly cheating (i think even before the match started), the admin responded that he will tell arenanet about it .
so before the whole oRNG thing happened, SALT already told the admins about the fraud.

alright, spiritwatch, skyhammer, khylo are definatly too hard maps for the gw2 solo quers.
every single team i get on those maps, plays on more than 3 objectives at the same time and doesnt understand the map. (players still want new maps ofc…)
example: i have teams on khylo: 1 our treb, 1 enemy treb, 1 close, 1 mid, 1 far…. WTF? do those ppl never look at their map? or are gw2 players just really bad at logic? u have 5 objectives on the map and you attack each of those with 1 player….? wut m8 pls

it is just impossible to get into a game that is close to logic in terms of rotations and tactics. why is that? because the majority of gw2 pvp players has no idea what conquest is, they see it as a zergfest on 3 points.
we need something like a conquest tutorial, where new players/bad players can play against bots that rotate properly and that punish those 1 man pushes.

the way to win solo q is clearly to play on as few objectives as possible, while winning them, in other words 2 nodes or 2 nodes + 1 secondary objective. once u know u loose 1 of those nodes/objectives u can go assault the 3rd node.

this is an essential problem of the pvp in this game, as long as there is no tutorial or explanation video on how conquest is played, players will continue to do the most random stuff possible, while thinking they do the correct thing. and let me tell you assaulting an objective with average 1.25 players (5 players / 4 objectives) is obviously NOT correct.
afterwards those players will say the pvp in this game is bad, because they arent even close to understand whats going on.

playing in those soloq teams must be the most moronic experience i had in a pvp game and it could be so good, if teams just played the game right.

TO ALL THE FAR PUSHERS: nifhel, foefire, temple: if u push far in the opening ur team most likely will split 1-3-1, so even if you win your 1v1 far, u will probably leave your team in a 4v3 mid and the guy capping your close has to understand he needs to go middle to make it a 4v4, otherwise ur team will just wipe 4v3 mid, u might end up having far + close but you will get snowballed if you play against people that understand the game.

KHYLO,SPIRITWATCH,SKYHAMMER: if your team decides to contest mid/close and you still go far, you already make your team loose. because there is an additional objective on this maps, that you need to play on. treb/orb/canon. you will make your team get outmanned on 2 objectives at the same time, while fighting ur useless 1v1 on far.. thats not very logic. especially if you are a thief wasting your mobility in 1v1 or a “bunker” that just keeps a node decapped instead of teamfighting.

i dont really know how to fix peoples brains, but i know for sure that anet should provide some sort of tutorial or explanation videos to explain their gamemode, but playing like this is really frustrating, random arena in gw1 is more competitive than solo q in gw2, i get flamed if i dont cleanse blinds in 0.5 sec, in gw2 ppl dont even know how to cleanse teammates…

sry for the bad english, if you far pushers want a detailed explanation why you ruin games wsp me ingame.

thats genius, make it happen anet

i love the HA part, gg olli!

best documentary of all times!

one of the most talented ppl ive seen in gw.

r60-r64 = 600k glory
600k glory = ~2150 brainless hotjoin games
600k glory = ~600 hrs playtime

option A: dont remove ranks/glory or atleast make high rank permanent finishers achievable
option B: players need to know when ranks get wiped 6 months before it happens

and the worst thing would be, that brainless skyhammer farmers are allowed to keep their phoenix? and the legit high ranks will never be able to achieve it in time???
thats unfair and very disrespectful

its 2013, and hotfix still got the same meaning to me, they hotfixxed enough stuff in pve, and even in pvp, so if they give a shyt about pvp they better fix it before the next patch,
its possible that they dont even realize how bad this change is AND the guy that came up with it should get fired still

hotfix it, and fire the guy that came up with the idea

Thx for the fast answer Justin, i appreciate it alot.

still it doesnt quiet answer my question. im more interested in the finisher and the gear, so reaching r68,r69 wouldnt mean anything to me, i want r70 phoenix finisher and the gear.
so in case u really remove ranks, would we be able to still progress towards this?

i hope u can understand what a big waste of time it would be if ppl reach r 69 and then the rank system gets removed and they will never be able to finish their phoenix.

so Justin can i continue farming without compunction that the aim im farming for will be unreachable at one point?

Hi im Iisey playing on the EU servers, i got a very important question and i hope a dev can answer me.

I legitimatly reached r64 so far, and even tho rank doesnt mean anything, i worked very hard to get it.

im looking forward to reach r70 without any exploits, it doesnt mean anything to anyone, i dont care.

but since the skyhammer exploits made ranks even more meaningless, i guess u guys think about removing the current rank system, and rework everything.

i can understand that, and im happy about this.

but the thing im asking myself now is, should i keep farming for r70 or let it go? i will take 3 months to get it

i will take tousands of games to get from 64 to 70, and if u guys would remove the current system in january and im stuck at r69, then i farmed like 1,5 mio glory for nothing.

i just want to reach it without using exploits, and i think i have a right to know if i will be able to achieve it in time.

SO MY QUESTION IS: if i am 3-4 months from reaching the rank i want, does it make sense to continue farming for it, or will there be a point where ranks are removed and then we will be unable to progress further towards rXX gear/finisher?

playing nearly the whole day gives me between 15 – 25k glory, skyhammer exploiter probably do that in 2 hours.

so it would cost me prolly around 1500 hours to get there, if ranks would be removed when im at r68-69, alot of time and work would just disapear with no reward.
so if u are going to do that, i beg u tell us now.

after investing 5000 hours to get a meaningless glory rank, i hope a dev can take 2 mins to answer this meaningful question.

if u believe it or not, there are still ppl around that put effort into reaching a glory rank.

Y Iisey Y

today is a good day to fix it!!

please fix it!! its all i need for map completion…

i say a real solo q can fix this, ppl on similar ratings are forced to play and communicate with each other, which brings everyone closer together and more teams will form up

+1, it is really needed, if i start talk about elementalists here ppl just whine how op this class still is, if we have sub forums u could better differentiate which ppl want to talk about elementalists and which ppl just want to cry themselves to sleep, which also will help u to get the right informations when u balance stuff etc.

Yo folly u can add me to elementalist 1v1, hj, tournament
