Guild Wars 2

But, maybe, just maaaybe, there’s a bunch of people that don’t even visit the forums that I might represent.

I’m a casual player, on and off for the past couple years. I PvEed a bunch initially, doing fractals and stuff with friends. Then took a break for a while. Then I got in to WvW and even transferred servers to be with more competitive friends. Then, we got bored and put the game down a while. Came back recently to try some HoT.

I wasn’t really feeling the PvE so I thought I try some PvP, and actually got kinda in to it. Progressed from Bunny to Shark in the last few months, and cool!, there’s this league thing. I’ve been mostly just playing the three games a day, solo queue of course, and made it most of the way through Ruby.

Just played a match where we rotated between mid and far and the entire match nobody died. Hammering away at various targets, and yeah, we’re not organized, but for 15 mins straight, people just ran around in circles on the point, jerking each other off. It was stupid. I feel stupider just from playing. I want that time, and those brain cells back. But alas, all I can do is UNINSTALL this game because it’s just not fun.

ps something something Salty something, and no you can’t have my stuff

guys i got top treb hits can i have my pips back

Yeah yeah, I should have made it more clear that I meant stats other than total points..

What about total time spent on an actual point? Coupled with a basic kill/death ratio? If I could see the data of every match, I bet it would be pretty clear who was helping and who was hurting the team…

And bonus, MMR tankers would obviously not be eligible.

Browrain.7346:

Almost everyone gets a top stat for something, since there are so many categories. So how would you determine who deserves to not lose a pip? The person with the most top stats? That just brings us back to where we started, saying that having the most top stats means nothing.

I’m just saying the information is there. It couldn’t be that hard to determine if someone was really helping their team, even though they lost. Anet wouldn’t even have to disclose what the factors were. Hell, we don’t even know what the formula is now. If you don’t know what stats you need to keep your pip, then you can’t abuse it.

I’m not talking about the points on the leaderboard at the end.. As you said, they mean nothing. I’m talking about all the other categories. The one’s that show you’re actually helping your team, like Point Defense. I haven’t looked at all of them, but they have a lot of individual categories that could be used to determine if you actually played well.

Everyone has had those games.. You play your heart out, cap and defend, rotate and win fights, but you’re team just can’t seem to help you out. Stomping, ressing, holding the enemy team off 3v1, just to see that all the other points are lost. Please don’t punish us for those games. If you receive enough Top Stats on your team, let us keep our precious pip. Plz.

Well, I’m convinced.

I’m going to go make a DH right now! Thanks gang!

I’m also not happy that the Karma boost is gone. I thought it was weird to begin with that it was a 2 for one trade for enchanted, but to remove that option entirely? Pretty lame.

…besides from the 20% duration increase, 20% recharge and 2 stacks of might, there is nothing more.

You want it to do your laundry too?

Reicta.2178:

Maybe I’m missing something because I see these HGH builds often, but I don’t see how you’re getting much use out of HGH at all. I’m counting three elixir skills total, and none of them you’re going to be using on CD.

I was running TK, FT, and elixirs before the IA bump, and it was passable before. Now it’s pretty sweet. You get might from thrown elixirs as well, and from a couple of the EG skills if you’re using it. The might stacks up pretty quickly.

Ah, didn’t notice it working on consume. That’s good to know.

It doesn’t seem to remove a condition with Alchemical Tinctures on throw or consume. Which is weird because the boon duration part of it works, and so does HGH. For a class that really struggles with conditions, this seems pretty important.

Oh hey, now it works!

I don’t think Shrapnel is working at all..

I’ve always like the idea of a skilled one-handed swordsman or pistoleer that doesn’t use an off-hand item. I realize that you’d just be gimping yourself without anything there, but it might work pretty well with an invisible shield. Anything I can use?

Hey guys,

Just stopping by to let you know what we are aware of this issue and we’re working to get it cleared up as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks Josh.. I’m anxiously awaiting this fix

Shift+mouse button always activates mouse button binds. There’s nowhere else to bind my commands, please fix!
