Guild Wars 2

Ive noticed that there are more condi thiefs in pvp and tournaments. I can’t beat them as warriors because of their endless evades and condi’s…. Its so broken…..

Any advice?

That player is carried. Doesnt mean he is that very good…. rofl

I’ve been playing this game since release. I do a lot of pvp. But if they allow new ppl to use the free trail and they have build up a mmr so fast that they are kittening up the rating of other players. F2p players with a trial should never get acces to ranked pvp or to season league. This is ruining the competitive thing of this game seriously.

Dear Anet

Can you please remove the option to join the pvp league for F2P players. I’ve had several matches with those players and it turns always a loss, even i am platinum… This is seriously ruining the experienced competitive game for me and the other players. I even don’t know why you even allow it?

If they want to play the league, they buy the game first. Its that simple.

What do you think guys? It looks awesome to me, but i have questions about it…:

- What are the effects when moving/fighting?
- Will there be no clipping on charrs or other races? Will there not be any removal of the charr horns?

Discuss!

It starts with an s… hmmm, let us call it ‘subway to cantha’

Why not remove both (this league) :p ? It leads only to more frustration and less players playing pvp. I aggree with the fact that you have to choose between pips and mmr because the matchmaking are really not good (class stacking, 3 wins in row then 5 loses in row, somtimes good teammates, other times bad teammates who arent as skilled as i am, 0 progression between divisions)

I appreciate your efforts in pvp, but the rewards are not really that challenging anymore and the grindfest is very big for other players who want the pvp backpack too.

This isnt a hate or critism-post, this is just what i am thinking and it could be that there are other people who might not aggree with me.

Suggestions:

-If someone wants to reroll => 1 pip lost as punishment. If someone did this 3 times: 5 pips lost.
-Make a system that players wont make to reroll, or they DO have a time out of 15 minutes and is kicked out the game. Free win for the other team. (The dishonor system doesn’t work really that well imo)
-Make a system that removes class stacking (In a team should be 5 different professions.) Why this? Because fighting against a whole team of dragonhunters isn’t totally fun.

Hey folks

I cleared my laptop yesterday which means back to the day when i bought the laptop. I upgraded my laptop from windows 7 to windows 10.

I have a laptop with amd radeon hd 7970 and an Intel Cpu of 3,6 gHZ.

I downloaded the guild wars 2 64bit.
When i played gw2 on my W7, i could play the game wih the highest settings.
Now, since i installed gw2 again on this laptop, i only can play it at the lowest settings.
With the highest settings everything goes slower.

Help? I want to play the game again with its beauty…. :’(

I’m installing gw1 and directx 9 now at the moment….

Looking forward to your answers!

I upgraded my laptop to windows 10 today. Before i could play guild wars 2 with the settings on high. Now it won’t run properly with these settings so i have to play the game with the lowest settings. I tried the repair-gw2-exe but it didn’t work for me. Help? This isn’t fun!

Well

I discovered this in pvp today…

Seems like those guys never played a game due the long waiting in the queu’s :p

I was wondering if you could implement the static tempered spinal blades as a glider skin? They look like wings too with some kind of an engine :p

The game didn’t even register the stronghold match. What is this?

I won a game in stronghold, but didn’t get any pips. Pvp reward track is buggy too.

In my opinion, ruby division was much better in season 1 versus now. In season 1 i had win – loses in ruby division, but i made a progress in the 3 weeks time. I hit ruby 5 days ago and i’m still at 0 pips. Reason: a lot of players (who are PVPERS) aren’t experienced in pvp and hit ruby way faster then hardcore pvpers.

Isn’t there anything Anet can do about giving better teammates with a slight adjustement of the MMR? I feel like those players are not as experienced as i am while i’ve played pvp a lot.

I’ve been legendary last season. I know the basics of pvp, how else i would have 3000 games already? I think Anet made a bad algorithm in their MMR. I always get people who are unexperienced in my team in pvp. How am i suposed to get out tier 3 sapphire if i keep getting a team with 3 necro’s in the last 2 pips of the third tier????

And again Anet. STOP STACKING CLASSES IN THE kitten LAST PIP GAME.
READ AND FIX THIS.

371-500 lost game…

Anet.

I think you should check out your algorithm again in match making. I’m in tier 3 sapphire atm. Every time when i hit 4 pips, you put 3 necromancers on the ennemy team. Also i get players in my team who even aren’t the same rating as me (3000 games played, got into legendary last season). My teammates only have 500-700 ish games played. Fix it. Kittening fix it. This ain’t fun without making any progress!

Why are ppl always asking for those stupid insights? Is this really a rehearsal from gw1? Like domain of anguish and showing how much gems you have so you can participate? Is it really needed to have the title “The Eternal” to join a raid group aswell? God, ppl stop this now. I’ve killed VG/Gorseval/Sabetha more then 5 times each week, but i have 8 insights. Isn’t it about how experienced you are instead of pinging these stupid insights to show “oh wow, im a pro, i killed those and i got these insights”. Whats the future gonna be like? “You need 50 insights to join us for a raid”.

Anet, remove those insights and make it a rare drop instead of dropping every week from every boss. Or implement a chat code that allows us to ping “30 insights” or more to show ppl we are so called “experienced”.

I think Anet should really remove the 50% win-rate. The 50%-system is actually some kind of a manipulative hacking system which prevents players from having FAIR MATCHES and EQUAL TEAMS WITH SAME MMR. I’ve been playing pvp since league, im now at 12 pips from legendary. I started this evening with 9 pips from legendary, had 6 loses in row => 14 pips from legendary. After the 6 loses the 50%-winrate has been adjusted and won one game so i gained 2 pips. Result now: 12 pips from legendary.

Anet should really stop manipulating the matches in the last tiers of each division, it FEELS A LOT like they want to prevent us getting the new division and with the 50%-system they want to keep in the division where we are FOR WEEKS.

I hope Anet will read this thread and think about their pvp-game for future changes. I’m sorry if this message looks too impolite but they need to watch this video + hear the experiences of pro-players (not the ones who are famous on twitch but the regular ones).

The era of mesmers is gone. The disciples of Helseth will despair. The alacrity and the quickness class is gone. It’s time to rise the other classes! #Mesmerstimeisover #jointhewarriorclub #killthiefwithconditionsfromnecro #necroisthenewbunkermetamesmer

Dear Anet

The new changes to warrior are good, but the survivability is still low. You guys had enough time to bring war back in pvp…. Please, give it more survivability like stability, toughness etc, else it will never survive in pvp this whole year.

Greetings.

I aggree. I have a heart dissease, i have to keep an eye after my heart, but every time i am being placed in a team of people who doesn’t know pvp. I rage every time im in a bad bad bad team because of the mmr anet gave to me. I was 9 pips from legendary, and now kittening 18 pips due to the new MMR. Anet, it is time to set things right now in this league. Otherwise remove all the rewards and titles of everyone. Remove everyones backpack and tickets and start over in season 2 with a clean NEW MMR and fair gameplays without any abuses. I want the backpack so badly, i was so close. But your new MMR is making me getting a heart attack soon. Than you a lot….. ( 13 years fan of guild wars 1 + 2).

Hello all,

Me and my friend just played a game in legendary divison. And we had a hacker in the other team. A mesmer was using speed hacks and also used certain warrior and necromancers skills. We all reported the guy, but the report system in gw2 is quite bit lacking of banning people… And is there any way to get our pip back? It isnt fair to lose a pip because of a hacker who is emerald.

Greetings,

Pvp player.

I was 8 pips from legendary and since patch now 16 pips… Anet is placing me every time in a noob teams who are pve’ers actually…. Their MMR is broken now. Anet, fix the kitten pvp, it isnt funny anymore. I’m working hard to get legendary for the backpack and you answer is what like always?: No no, go back a few pips. Sorry for hard language, but it is the reality.

And is arenanet even going to do something about it? Because i have the feeling they dont want me to achieve legendare before end of season 1. I like the backpack so much, but anet is making me to cry and rage etc…. This is not how pvp was like in the beginning of gw2. The meaning of pvp is getting lost with those bunker classes.

Hello guys

I’m wondering about the new MMR. We have people from different divisions in teams. I’m diamond at the moment, yesterday i gained good pips but today… i’m getting people who can’t play pvp which means pip loss. I was 9 pips from legendary and now i’m 19 from legendary…. Is this wat anet want with the new mmr? Putting people who doesnt know pvp in my team to avoid ppl getting legendary? They cant defend or cap a point.

Is this Anet vision about Solo Queuing or is the MMR worse now then before? If yes, why then?

Greetings.

Thank you Anet, i am really happy with this! But what about the dc-system. Will players not lose pips when someone is dcded during a match? Will be there changes for maps like the lords from legacy of foefire? And will be there class nerfs before league season 2?

Greetings.

Hey all

I enjoyed the pvp very much, but i would like to show you my concerns and what needs to change. All opinions are welcome to help Anet to re-structure the next pvp leagues.

The pvp pip system:
- Make a system where amber players can only play with amber. Emerald with emerald. Sapphire with saphire. No cross-sections between different divisions

- Add a system of pips like when you have 5 wins in a row: one more free pip, 10 wins in a row: 2 free pips etc. This will stimulate the players to put more effort in pvp.

- Re-imagine the amber/emerald/sapphire system. Too many people can reach easily the ruby divisions. By this way, too many (unexprienced) pvp players are getting in the teams and are ruining the MMR-system with the consequence: loses in rows.

-A VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE NEEDED: This system is being used in all games like call of duty, … except guild wars 2. When someone disconnects, the game will be frozen, nobody can move or use the skills. The skills will not be loaded. When the disconnected person returns, the match will go on again. If the disconnected person isn’t coming back, shut down the map and return to the heart of the mists, no pips for everyone. When you have a disconnected person in ur team, no pips will be lost. This is really needed in a game like guild wars 2.

What professions needs to be nerfed/buffed:
Elementalist: Too much heal
Druid: Too much heal
Revenant: Too much damage
Warrior: Better survival and more stability to traits/skills
Thief: Better survival and more health/toughness
Mesmer: Extend the loading time of shield skill 4 + 5
Guardian: Reduce the recharge of the Traps, they get loaded too easy.
Engineer: Ok in my opinion
Necromancer: Ok in my opinion, although less stability but not needed

Map-changes:

Legacy of Foefire

- Give more health to the lords and guards
- Give the lords the same health and stats like the lords from the strongholds

Forest of Nifhel

- More health and toughness to svanir/chieftain

All the other maps are fine.

These were my opinions. I know the frustrations of most pvp players. I was 2 days ago 4 pips away from diamond, and since then i get unexperienced players in my team. When we are premade, we get harder premade teams who are diamond. This needs to be changed drastically. I’m now 11 pips away from diamond and it seems the system wants me to prevent reaching diamond. All players are experiencing this so Anet need to look VERY closely into this.

Feel free to put here your opinions for helping the re-imaging of the PvP league system.

Greetz

A very loved pvp player.

Hello all

I was thinking, the lords in this map can be easily killed with the new meta-builds. Wouldn’t it be better if the lords had the same health and skills like the stronghold lords? The game is more challenging then with capping points.

One DH trap guard or condi ranger can easily take down lord.

Opinions? And Anet, can you give an answer to this thread please?

Greetings

warrior has no way to regain health. I cannot come back after spikes. every other meta class can do so easily, or is a necromancer with a second health bar.

my engi and Guardian can heal their health bars multiple times, my warrior can’t even do it once.

warrior is not a viable class at all. only works vs people you eat your combo like an idiot, and honestly anyone who eats combos (especially highly telegraphed warrior combos) will be easy food.

re roll. it’s your only hope.
I done it, an I may miss warrior like hell but at least I get success.

Truer words have never been spoken.

No way to regain health yes. But survive? Better!
Berserkers stance, Endure pain and stability.

Fighting a thief/dragonhunter/mesmer? No problem
Rampage.

War is still USEFUL in pvp. It always depends on the situation and the teams. But in most cases, low and medium classes are dying faster with this build. Heavy are a bit tougher.

Dear players and dear Anet.

I’m playing warrior in pvp which is my main. I am still using the gs/hammer build. This build is still good in pvp, tough its not a meta anymore. I am tired of people saying war isn’t meta anymore. Let me set up a few things:

- I am not as brainless as a DH trap guard.
- I am not such a powerful monkhealer as druidù
- I am not a thief who dps ppl to 30% and uses the elite skill to stomp ppl
- I am not a chronomancer who put ppl in a circle, removing their stability and letting them fly in the air.
- I am not a reaper necromancer who got unlimited stability and 2 lives.

Pvp is about fun. It doesnt have to be always META. Stop the fuzz about how bad war is in pvp.

Greetings.

Hello everyone,

What do you all think aboud the ending in the story? I was hoping for these things:

An epic fight against mordremoth.
An ending cutscene where everyone is cheering but also honoring Eir at her grave in Hoelbrak.
Seeing the egg hatching.

I’m happy i bought HoT, but at the same time i feel sad about the story ending. It had to be more epic in my opinion, not just fighting mordremoth mind :/

Does this count as an invasion? xD no mordrem events yet….

Imo hammer skill 1 can be faster. It really feels too slow vs a D/D ele or D/P thief. Theyre even fighting faster than a revenant.

Ok i aggree, but no one wants to salvage his own Rings :p (unless you got dozen of the same rings lol)

Dear Anet/Gw2 players,

I was wondering, since we know that we are getting fractal rewards and higher fractal levels (50-100), we could get some extractor for the infusions on our ascended stuff (armor/trinkets etc). The higher the levels, the higher we need our Agony Resistance.

Example: i have a 7 infusion on my infused ring, but i want to upgrade it. I’m going to do fractal level 100. I would need a agony-extractor with unlimited uses and upgrade my infusions to 15.

I hope we can get an answer from Anet.

A great GW2 fan. :-)

@Gaile Gray

The outfit is a bit not my taste, it’s a good design. But can’t you make it more shiny with the sun reflecting the hard steel? And replace those frameworks with horns or something or at least a Templar-Armor design. I feel that this armor is a bit like the Aetherblade’s one and that doesn’t make it very unique :/

But in overal, i’ve played guild wars 2 since 3-day headstart and i’m still in love with the game. I know you guys put a lot of support in the game and i really appreciate it!

Is legendary armor really coming???? :O

Hello guys,

I’m using my laptop atm for Guild wars 1 and 2 and Dark Souls 2. The specs are:
- AMD/ATI 7970 2 GB
-Intel core i7-3740QM quad core processor(6 MB cache, 2.7 GHz, Turbo Mode 3,7 GHz)
-32 GB RAM

I have this laptop for more then 2 years already because of divorced parents… and the processors are getting louder and is heating itself up. The game still works fine at High-Specs, but sometimes i see the character, when its running, its running a bit slower and then back normal speed, but then a bit slower…

I’m planning to save money for to buy a new computer (no more laptops, i want a vast computer – desktop). My intention is to use this computer for Guild Wars 2 only (the only MMORPG i’m playing and i love it.

What are the best options about graphic cards and CPU?
I play quite a lot WvW, but also pve, with large scale group events, and pvp.

Is NVDIA better than AMD or it depends? I would like to play the game like Anet plays it haha with good graphs and no more laggfests.

About the budget i’m planning to save for the new computer, i was thinking about 1800 euro….

I’m curious about your reactions

Dear Anet,

I was born deaf and had an operation on my right ear at the age of 4-5. Since then i can hear now with my cochlear hearing aid.

I love to hear the game music + fights when i put on my headphone! I get excited every time.

During the Beta weekend, i enjoyed playing the new profession and the new map + story. But i noticed in the short trailer, when Rytlock returned from Destiny’s Reach through a gateway to verdant brink, there were no subtitles. I like to hear Rytlock’s voice, but yea… male voices are hard to understand for me haha :-D.

Would you put in subtitles in short-films in the HoT-release? It would help me a lot to understand what every character is saying and it would make me more excited to watch it!

Thank you for the hard work you’re doing with creating an amazing game like Guild Wars 2!
I’m waiting with the choo choo hype train towards the HoT release! :-)

Greetings,
a big but deaf fan! :-D

Anet, i would like to do an suggestion about the shiro healing skill. It isn’t really good. The daggers you get (6 in total) and the healing is depended on the hits of the daggers. But when a foe dodges or blocks, you don’t get any healing which is very unfortunate. I would like to suggest to replace the daggers by 6 green stones that steals health like the spectral necro skill (F1).

Dear pvp-players and Anet-team,

I am playing warrior in pvp every day and a lot of ppl are saying i’m using hacks by using the trait “Heightened Focus”: gain quickness when you strike a foe thatis below the health threshold. By having this boon i can easily kill light/medium classes and i stomp faster before they even can use their 2nd skill in downed state.

Let this be clear to all people who hates warriors: this is no hack. Anet made these traits and boons to fight and stomp faster. No need to blame the warriors and to report for ban or something else… :-)

By the way, at stomping, it is the same with timewarp for faster fighting/stomping…

Thanks.

That’s great to hear! I’ll go buy the standard edition in the game mania stores in a small hour and i’ll upgrade it to deluxe next week or so! I don’t need the ultimate edition, only the deluxe. Thank you very much!!!!

Dear Anet/Players,

I was wondering, if i buy the game for 44euro (standard edition), i also can buy later the deluxe edition with the extra stuff through the black lion store with gems (just like with the digital upgrade in-game)? I wanted to buy the deluxe editions in the Game Mania stores in Belgium instead of buying online, but they said they would give the Deluxe Edition when they have the release date of the game (which is gonna take a while) and i would like to play the beta weekends too like in the past :p. If it is possible to buy the separate deluxe edition later in-game, then i might buy the standard edition this afternoon xD.

Greetings!!

What a negativity…. I have faith in the Anet team in what they do! I prefer a patch that is tested enough to avoid bugs and is late instead of an early patch with a lot of errors. Im playing gw2 since release and i love playing the game. We aren’t going to die if we have a late patch…. Theres enough to do in-game and in real life.

I would like to help the Anet team too with their beta-tests ( which will be given to a limited amount of ppl.) I’m born deaf but i had 2 operations at my right ear and i wear a hearing aid (i can hear yes). I can help them with the in-game sound of the beta because i can adjust my hearing aid sound with a lot of options!

@Gaile: do you have an update about the patch for us?

I’m playing the game since launch, ive played 255 fractals in total and i got some skins:

Fractal longbow (twice… :/ )
Fractal gun
Fractal Spear gun
Fractal Hammer
Fractal shield

I don’t know or i’m lucky that much or not… However Anet need to bring in a system that can exchange a fractal skin you already have for another skins.

BrunoBRS.5178:

OST means “Original SoundTrack”. so “SoundTrack OST” is redundant and grammatically wrong. it’s like saying “RPG game”.

/petpeeve

Hmm i feel a bit dumb now lol! xD But ok thx for correcting me!

Dear Anet,

I was born deaf and had 2 surgeries at my right ear on young age. Since then, with Cochlear hearing aids, i can hear after the operation and the next years after it.

I like to hear music, more specific classical music. I really enjoy listening your Guild Wars 2 Soundtracks OST and the music of the living world story. I always play on Guild Wars 2 with a headphone with the sound of the in-game environments and the music interval on very high.

Now my question is, to you Anet: will you release a Guild Wars 2 HoT soundtrack too? :p
I would love it if you guys said yes….

P.S.: Keep up the hard work on HoT, i’m looking forward to it!

Okay, since I am in the same guild as the OP and was online every time our guildie began his mystic forge quest I’ll post some screenies. I only have access to the ones he shared on FB, so I do not have all of them. But the ones I have are attached.

He’s a guildie of mine and posted the pics of the other guildie. Here’s your proof everyone.
