Guild Wars 2

Put the character’s name on it.

If you see X’s Trebuchet Build Site when everyone’s putting down Flame Rams, you’ll know exactly who’s responsible.

Have a report function specifically for this issue, get X reports in Y amount of time, and you get a cooldown period where you can’t deploy siege. You can still build and operate siege normally. You just can’t deploy it.

So that’s how it goes? 1 response in 5 days?

I’m the only person that was upset about this?

FA is now holding it’s own against Gold League servers and YB is beating SBI and Mag (who actually would’ve made silver league interesting) this week. But that’s irrelevant because FA was put into Silver League.

I seriously hope that someone, anyone from Anet is watching this and realizes how stupid the league was.

1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place received Special Limited-use finishing moves.

Except wait, this wasn’t per league like everyone expected, it was the winner of each league.

So there was absolutely no reason for anyone to try to to any better than winning, okay, I can understand that to an extent. It wasn’t what you said, but whatever, you guys lie a lot so it’s not a big deal but check it out:

Blackgate, Fort Aspenwood and Henge of Denravi all won their respective leagues without a single second place. They all won every week, with most of these wins being complete blowouts. There is no question that none of these servers ever struggled in these match ups, nearly all of them were won on Friday night.

So is this what you wanted? You wanted to reward 3 out of 24 servers? Do you want everyone to bandwagon to just these winning servers?

Why even make a distinction of the top 3 per league on your own leaderboards if it literally did not make any difference?

Why reward servers with numbers and coverage more than servers who fought hard to get into 2nd or 3rd place (Example: Yak’s Bend)?

Why give nothing to servers who had to sit underneath unstoppable servers?

What was the point of any of this?

Listen, I know people are gonna come at me saying it never mattered, it’s just a finisher, you’re server didn’t get 1st so stop complaining, but you know, possibly deep down, that this league was a sham and a waste of time.

I’ll keep plying wvw because I like to play it, but I hope if they ever do decide to add some actual reward to playing wvw, they don’t bother doing it this way again. Or maybe I won’t keep playing. It’s not like it would make a difference.

jadfang.6850:

so congradulations to YB for there shallow victory

Feels good.

Furiousbeard.7602:

I think you all know that FA getting third next week is unlikely.

Oh absolutely. FA has proven they have no trouble fighting boring steamroll matches and for some reason a few prominent (at one time) YB guilds decided that’s what they wanted to do.

But it’s still an interesting idea to kick around.

30, 26 and 26.

That’ll be the score if SBI stays in Second.

In this scenario: If SBI (#1) and DB (#2) make FA lose somehow, and YB manages to win next week, Silver league would have a 3 way tie at 31 points for first place.

That is very interesting to think about.

roostergoblin.2801:

I’d settle for bragging rights.

I don’t see how tanking your rank to slip out of Gold league to dominate silver constitutes “bragging rights”.

If you’re going to leave this absolutely horrible mechanic in the game, could you at least make it so condition removal prioritizes it?

It’s absolutely frustrating to be immobilized for upwards of 20s because my condition removal decided the 1 stack of vulnerability was more threatening.

I mean it’s patently ridiculous that I can’t get rid of immobilize with “Shake It Off!” and Mending but what’s even more frustratingly stupid is that even if I do, there’s plenty of other sources of immobilize coming at me.

Immobilize is the second most un-fun mechanic in this game after constant enemy cc, luckily, the new Toxic Offshoot events and the Tower seem to go out of their way to highlight both of these design failures brilliantly.

As a person on YB, no, I wouldn’t really like to come in last in the league.

At least in the current silver league we have a chance of placing in the top3. We’d be 6th and that’s it under this layout. That may sound selfish but how many posters are in this thread and on TC saying how great of an idea this is because they’d win?

Invariably, the entire system is flawed from the top to the bottom. The same servers win every week and the same servers lose.

I just hope that the only difference in seasonal rewards is the finishing move. Otherwise this terribly flawed league will have it’s final nail in the coffin.

My suggestion is to allow private chat between multiple people (up to X, greater than 1).

I would suggest it be Invite Only (Right click -> Invite to Chat) to make it easier to use. People in chat could invite others to chat and kick people from the chat, exactly like a normal party.

My reason for the suggestion is I belong to a large guild, I have more than 1 person to talk to and I’m not always in a party with these people. It’s incredibly annoying to whisper more than 1 person and I think it’s impolite to have a personal conversation in an already crowded guild chat, much less S, M or T.

I don’t know with 100% certainty if Squad chat would be what I’m describing, but I don’t want to find out and be wrong for 100g.
