Guild Wars 2

Lets say i don’t like the looks of the armors that can be upgraded to legendary. Is it possible to transmute them to different looks without losing the stat swapping ability?(after making the process of legendary armor)

I do hope you guys will get my point some day. I can’t say more than I’ve already said, just that I suspected some servers/colours being faster/slower than others for 2 years now but it’s really obvious with the resurrected servers right now.

Again in short: GH comes back from the ashes has got a K/D ratio around 2+ for 5-6 weeks straight, then falls to 0.9 and now with the nearly same linking Vabbi (and GH and UW) is back at 2+ again. And the fights definitively were different as well – and that’s not because the servers fought that much better – because no one really can and all servers had an influx of PvE players.

In even shorter: Anet, please use maths when adjusting server latency.

K/D got nothing to do with developers manipulating servers which they don’t do. As the post above states, the system is fluid. You should ask around, maybe some vabbi top guilds wasn’t on that week when its happened or something like that.
I would understand opening a thread for this if you had 1+ second ping in the last 2 weeks constantly, but this way it’s just laughable.

Is it possible to join a squad as an enemy?

Lets say there are servers A and B. Player from server A makes an alt on B and afks at spawn with it while joining a squad(shared participation) from server A.
Ultimate low if this is doable and must be fixed.

Not necessarily. Tomes serve two functions, one to actually level up to 80, and spirit shards. People with alts might not want to consume all. Something more quantity related may better.

Giving the option would not hurt though. I would prefer to split a stack of tomes and use “consume all” on 80 of them when leveling a char.

Makes no sense for me. Lets say a high and low ranked player duo roam doing the exact same things. Why should one of them earn more/less pip than the other?

Would like to see a performance based(capped objectives, defended objectives, kills, deaths, etc.), calculated number for each player instead of this. Based on this number players could earn more or less pips per tick.

I think it is caused by lag. Near at the end of the video even his tempest buddy could not resurrect him when he was downed.

Can confirm this. Seems like the limit is 5 per day per vendor, but it lets you “buy” more and deducts the karma for it giving only 5. Someone owes me 200k karma.

It doesn’t it makes strong sides stronger and weaker sides relatively weaker. What they should have done is reward servers that capture T2 and T3 keeps more points purely for capture but keep the PPT the same.

Its another change that shows they don’t truly think all the implications through.

This would discourage upgrading keeps. The inverse of this(more points for holding upgraded stuff, same for capture) seems better(and overall the best) in my opinion. At first sight the obvious problem with this is that it somewhat discourages taking upgraded stuff(this is what happening right now in wvw, karma train T1 towers/keeps), but it’s not entirely true, since taking upgraded stuff would deny more ppt from the other server.

Korgov.7645:

Score bias has been suggested before. Thanks for writing it out so well and in such detail.

There are several issues with this approach:

• One team can prevent the other worlds gaining any points by simply not playing the game.
• Tinkering with scoring does not make the gameplay any more enjoyable for the small team against blobs.
• Artificially inflating a weak world’s score does not make them any fitter to get matched up against strong worlds.
• Players will find it demeaning if their team gets carried by handicaps.

This. Too easily exploitable, imagine if you “flip” the first issue aka the server with more players just making fake accounts on the other server to afk with them on a map.

Sound is fine in my opinion. It is already implemented that it won’t trigger on every shot. Also keep in mind that half of the people crafted/bought it for the sound.

Victory points are awarded the following way:
1st : 3 points
2nd: 2 points
3rd: 1 point

Salto.4150:

I can confirm this. I have less levels on my account than had on my main. Only SPENT skill points seemed to have added, not the unspent ones.

This.
If anyone read the patch notes:
“All spent World Ability Points have been refunded to all characters.”

So it’s looks like you had to spend them… which is kinda sad. Some sort of warning would have been nice.

tbh I dont think we, RoS, will win this week either, unless DL were on a break during the weekend, or maybe we pushed harder, or maybe they at last decided to come out to play and so arent getting as much points.

But what I really do want to see is RoS and DL draw 1st equal for the season, just to annoy Anet and their league system; because what is the system in place in order to be promoted to from the Bronze League to the Silver?

If it’s just a matter cos swapping the lowest Silver server with the highest Bronze server, a 1st equal between 2 severs would be nice, so we can see the devs having to come up with another way to promote servers

Leagues are created from the server ratings(you can check it from that leaderboards page), got nothing to do with placement in the league. For example Drakkar is already passed Underworld(even Dzagonur passed them), so they will be 99% in Silver next season.
