What is it? Why should I get it?

A friend of mine has one and I see them go in and out of their Home Instance everyday with it and then manually wp to the city to let me in. Why can’t I go in with him the first time? Thank you.

Trying to understand Team MMR

in PvP

Posted by: Kor.5983

Unranked queueing in a group of 4/5 over the course of the last few days, some friends and I are trying to get some of the champ titles before HoT launches and generally just wanting to have a good time.

We have gone 18/0, with wildly different matches, everything from 500-50 to 500-475, usually queueing near the later part of the night, pacific time. We range in rank from I think ~30 to 80, only a few of us solo/duo queued outside of our group before we started playing together, so as a team, given quite diverse backgrounds, I’m wondering how the other teams have really matched up against us.

It’s not very fun to win 500 to near 0, more than once one of us just lets the other team kill us to give them credit for the match so they go home with something. Will it just take us playing together, longer, during other periods of the day to get more even matches?

I have read other threads where the old and newer mmrs are explained. The
1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10
system makes sense to me, however I don’t see this playing out very well at all for the opposing team. Some teams have been organized, at least partially, and usually those matches have been more balanced. But what I want to know is given a lack of teams to match us up against, how long will the algorithm wait to match us with lower/higher mmr, non-partied players? Queue times seem nominal around 3-4mins most times.

Is there a preference to higher or lower mmr players when vs’d a queued party? Is this a matter of queueing Unranked vs. Ranked?

Just looking for those good matches. Thank you for your time.

Will a player’s Revenant character only have access to the two previously playable Legendary stances, three specializations, and 3 weapon choices?(Count Axe/mace as two choices since you don’t have to equip both at once).

Unexpected Deaths

1. Date: 6/28/15, Time:~11:30pm, Time Zone: PDT

2. Account Display Name: Kor.5983

3. Darkhaven

4. Where you were on the map: The Ruined City of Arah (explorable) Path 3(Forgotten path)

5. I experienced FODS (Fall Over Dead Syndrome) once preceded by my character equipping his underwater weapon and having no skills, not being able to interact with anything, not being able to see or attack any enemies, but able to loot grand chests. Other members of my party had a similar experience in these same instances. In Path 3, I was running between the two bosses, Wraithlord’s Crusher and Wraithlord’s Mage Crusher. I was playing my thief and had recently stealthed my party and then ran past enemies. I was unstealthed when seemingly out of the blue my character unequipped his land weapons and appeared to have his underwater speargun on. I lost all weapon skills and the ability to use my 6-10 skills. A minute or so later I fell over dead. Waypointing seemed to fix the problem momentarily, but it cropped up multiple times during the rest of the dungeon. Going to character select or completely closing the client both reset my character to normal, which I had to do at least three times throughout the dungeon. These seem like different problems, but the mere coincidence leads me to think they have a similar source.

6. Sorry no GIF.

7. Any spell effect or other identifying animation that you see when your character dies: For the deaths my character took no damage from any source; I was not in stealth, cloaked or otherwise obscured from enemies, but neither was I in combat or took fall damage. I did not check the combat log for a damage taken entry, but I visually saw no white or red damage indicator on my screen. I wish I had more information about this, but it happened so suddenly I was not expecting it.

8. Additional details or observations that you can share: Another party member died around the same time I did and also had the underwater weapon equipped bug. I urged him to file a bug report which I believe he did using the in-game tool.

Support Tickets Taking Too Long?

So GW1 tickets have no place these forums, yet the GW2 Support Ticket system is the only way to get in touch with anyone with any ability to affect GW1 accounts?

GW2 Tickets for Review (7 days & older)

I’m guessing the massive influx of returning/new players is what’s keeping the normal response time so high, so I don’t mind that this is the longest support has taken to get back to me. If the ticket numbers are numerically based on how many tickets they get, some of the tickets from three weeks ago are ~60k less than mine. That’s astounding. I’ll throw my # out here anyway, so maybe Michael will put in a good word for me.

Can we expect another “Call of the Mists” PvP buff with either the next tournament or with seasons?

Should we expect any changes to the amount of rank points awarded by the different types of PvP game modes, i.e. Ranked vs. Unranked vs. Practice?

Is the Silverwastes Reward Track going to be updated with each consecutive LS release to include new end reward boxes?

I’m sorry if this has been requested already in this topic, but may we have an option to enable/disable the “I am Evon Gnashblade” mode in the New Trading Post without having to type in the search box “I am Evon Gnashblade” every time we want the the New Trading Post to appear this way?

Thank you.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

That being said, if you can make time in your schedule to be on when the servers are reset, you can make sure you’re at the skill point beforehand, re-log immediately upon downloading the new build, and get the skill point.

Or you can wait till the fix is implemented. The choice is yours.

Iron Marches: Hellion Forest Task, Defeat Bria Event [Merged]

I can confirm the Hellion Forest Heart is still bugged. Two lost spirits had spawned in unreachable localities up a tree, and the Defend Bria DE is bugged so as to be unable to enter the house in which the DE is taking place.

I might also add that this was on Crystal Desert.
