Guild Wars 2

Apparently, directing someone to a where you can find any information about the game is striking a nerve. If you think I am angry about that or something you might be projecting.

You have yet to actually tell me where I can find what this mysterious developer said about changes to PVP. So I suppose I can just assume you were lying? That’s pretty embarrassing for you. I mean, it’s not like it’s hard to look through the dev tracker and find that one post you were talking about, if it actually existed.

And yes OP, solo queue is a joke. You end up in a winning streak, then a losing streak, then a winning streak, repeat ad nauseum.

Yeah, you are right I’m still waiting for any of them to respond to at least 1 of the 20 threads referring to the same problem. I’m starting to think that Guild Wars is becoming PvE Wars with a litle bit of pvp aspect…
They had a good thing going for them, could have been very popular e-sport and they some how completely kittened it up.

Here is the thing A-Net, either make solo q a measure of actual pvp skill of individual players or take down the leader board that represents literally nothing.

Because there is a higher item reward intensive than non-rated everyone is flocking to it. There is a high reward for losing so why not.

The game does not measure how good you are or how well you can play with a pick up team, it measures how lucky you are to be with veteran pvpers vs newbies/bad comp/quitters.

There is absolutely no separation based on ranking so once again it all comes down to how lucky you are with a team roll.

I’ve been a guildwars pvp fan since Prophecy and have argued that pvp is what makes GW better that other mmos but this is just pathetic and disappointing.

Here are some ideas for making this better:
1. Take away any reward for losing… make people not want to lose and try harder.

2. If you feel like allowing people in to rated games regardless of their skill at leas separate them by the existing rank structure ( don’t put rank 50 in against rank 3) or at least create a system where the teams are balanced as far as rank separation.

3. Punish people that leave the game.

4. Don’t count an unfair loss against the players that stuck around to the end: (if its 3v5 the 3 people still get a big fat L added to their rank).

5. And for the love of god create a system where there is a limit to how may players of the same class are on one team (I dont care how good you or the class is I have never seed a 4 Mesmer team win).

what is up.. i for for for got to loot your bags ~ ~ ~ wuauaahhhhh :0
{anime reference}
hello strange opponents..
i slept through reset night, but will get back to you..
as for the guy who spotted our “zerg” in the skritt caves, it’s called a karma train.. your players do get personal WvW points for that y’know?

i completely agree with Dovgan.. the only thing i’ll miss of [als] is the money they spent on upgrades.. our server just needs to reconstitute itself

and apologies to my fellow tyrians.. i’ve been spending less time on this game now that staff elem is So broken and irrelevant at this point

Well ALS is perfectly happy without you missing them. 630PP 200+ badges in 3 hours… good luck in tier 8 =P.

Where’s that guy that said we couldn’t cap any of AR’s keeps? Well Kalkz and I thought otherwise.

that guy is currently at work… like most of the rest of our server… Guess you guys proved that you have a lot more unemployed people than AR does… You win in game, we win in life =P
Also you guys failed miserably to take any keeps last night when we actually had coverage… You must feel a great scene of accomplishment rolling our map when there is a total of 5 players on it.

The main reason is simply that at the point that outmanned does that, it encourages servers to have fewer players on to take advantage of the stat boost. That, in turn, will cause people to yell at other players for logging on and taking away the buff.

That is a valid point. I am not sure if it is strong enough to completely dismiss the idea of e.g. giving the NPCs and structures added toughness and health for the outmanned side. Assume there would be no player bonuses or they would be limited to max +30% health + toughness increase when the side is very badly outmanned e.g. just 10% or less of total population on that map. Now those who are playing on the badly outmanned side will have trouble even scoring any kills, because the large number of enemies can always revive the downed player so fast (I know there are things like stealth stomp, but let’s not make all of us roll into thieves). At least I would rather have more human players on my side than some minor buffs.

It would be fairly simple to avoid some server intentionally abusing this system. Example of abuse one server gathers all their forces into one giant blob and teleport from one map to another, while all other 3 maps are empty and thus outmanned. To prevent this just make the outmanned buffs so that they never trigger if the total population of all maps for that side is >= 30 %.

I have a question for Arenanet:
Are you planning to do something major to address the WvWvW population and coverage issues?

e.g. free transfers to those servers who haven’t won for ages or to those servers who have low WvWvw population? Or different scoring system which rewards the server points divided by their population percentage e.g. a server with 50% of all 3 servers WvWvW population will get twice less server points, compared to a server with 25% of WvWvW population. Players would still get the same points from objectives.

I would like one of the devs to actually answer this as well. I’m getting pretty fed up with my guild giving it our all when we are on, only to get rolled the rest of the time because we don’t have coverage. Aside from transferring to a mega server there is absolutely nothing we can do to ever win against a server with good coverage during the day or at night… This does not make it for a fun game experience at all.

If only [Lost] were as good at fighting as they are at running their mouths on the forum… I’d challenge you to an open field fight with equal numbers but knowing you guys, you might quit and transfer servers again, just to talk more kitten like you’ve earned the right to it.

I only remember about 2 times us wiping one being around that camp(where we also slaughtered many of you, and in our garrison assault, but don’t worry we should hopefully have more pics coming of last nights shenanigans! Fun times though, you can’t handle the power of Lynx!

you must have been kitten or something when we wiped your whole zerg 3 times at bay and twice at hills or just have a selective memory…
anyway my original point still stands: with everything BP has thrown at us you guys still failed to take any of our keeps. So… go back to SBI while they are taking a week off just to make yourself feel good and pretend that you are good players…

AR play for first? Best joke I’ve heard all day

Strong words coming from the server who is incapable of taking anything major on our bl and is scared kittenless of us in the open field… Go back to SBI bl while they are not playing to make yourself feel better about you points.

LOL, We fought SBI for hours on even numbers until they gave up on us and went to EB to take all of your stuff. And scared in the open field lol? You must be joking right? Thats what you guys do hide in towers until you out number our attacking force by 3 to 1.

I don’t think its possible to fit that many in a tower, just saying. So I call BS.

I think he is counting ranger pets, necro minions and mesmer clones as individual players.

dunnberry.2964:

If I’m so bad at it than why are you and so many other AR getting so kitten ed at what me fan and a few others are saying? I love how of my comments you pick one where I actually threw in a compliment too! And we’ll from the posts on forums it seems most of BP is either joining in or at least enjoying the smack talk, stop trying to speak for other servers…also lol about anything you said about me on NSP, you don’t our reasons for leaving so dont try to say we are quitters…and NSP level is still >AR level

LOL is that why you transferred from your t6 server that is currently getting rolled by 2 t7 servers??? Go back to NSP before we hurt your feelings too much.

LAWL… Do I smell fear? You say things like ALS sucks yet you don’t want to come out and prove it. As far as I can tell you are just a forums warrior that does not amount to kitten in game…

Did SBI throw in the towel already? Where are all those numbers you had last week?

lover.8351:

Oh man, SBI… I can’t believe y’all tried for an hour to take a paper tower at Cliffside and failed with 3x the numbers…

Transfer to AR, we will train you good. And together we shall conquer GW2!

We should concentrate on training our own people first and get rid of kittenty commanders…

Gravy.7589:

SBI is a pve server, thought that was obvious. Seems some AR posters are turning into Ebay posters. Kittening and all, like some of you stated you hate about Ebay.

Outmanned in our BL’s and in EB, great day on SBI, lol.

most AR people that actually post here don’t really do much to help our cause.
Trolls will be trolls.

The devs have addressed the precursor issue countless times.

Yes, usually with non-responses.

No, they have said repeatedly that they’re going to implement a design to make them less a struggle to get. Learn to research.

Right, they’ve repeatedly said that, and then repeatedly done nothing to demonstrate any progress towards doing anything like that. Learn to not swallow kittenpoop.

Agreed. And excellent use of kittenpoop… LOL!

This daughter of Ascalon reached the pinnacle of her epic journey today with the creation of Incinerator

I used this video as inspiration for the home stretch. He tells of his road to incineration, how we must embody hell – becoming servant to the flame in order to wield its untouched glory.

Thank you JawDane, wherever you are.

she even learned how to outrun a centaur (though quickly discovered that the real thing she ought to outrun was an Ehmry Bay zerg).

Hahahahaha.
