Guild Wars 2

what about no downstate all together in sPvP?

Dont think that is a viable option nor would it be beneficial to the gameplay. Getting the stomp or rezing a downed player is part of the strategy of the game.

I agree that the down states should be changed, but disagree that the damage should be increased.

I think the problem is how some down states can be effective while some classes have no useful downstate abilities.

There should be downstate themes that you can choose from — consistent for all classes

1. Self Healing — 3 skill would burst heal

2. Team Support — 3 skill would give allies within range boons Or CC enemies

OR

Have a special downstate skill

Class Specialty — 3 skill would do special ability -- 3 death cooldown or only available if you get a kill or something or only if your team is down in points

Class Specialty skills possibilities:

• Guard: Symbol of hope – Give allies 25% health or give allies the green CC bar that the lords have.
• Rev: ???
• Engi: ???
• Thief: Suicide – kill yourself and re-spawn instantly without re-spawn timer – respawn with 10 sec of swiftness and 10 sec of stealth
• Ele: Refresh – Reset all allies Heal ability
• Mesmer: Teleport – teleport to owned node, or allie not in combat
• Necro: Minion Master – spawn all possible minions to protect you
• Warrior: Eye 4 Eye – if target is 25% health insta down them

You get the idea, give a way to change the tide of the battle.

Things I think they should implement to make ranked PvP better

1) If you win you should be paired with a team of winning players vs another team of winning players (Winners play Winners & Losers play Losers)…

2) Don’t put the people you just beat on your team the next match (solved by #1)

3) Stop stacking professions, its annoying when you get 3 thief’s on your team vs 3 necros on the other team….

I read somewhere that they were not going to allow profession stacking for the pro players, but I think they should do that for ranked also…

Why in the world have they not fixed match making profession wise?! It affects your match tremendously when you have an unbalanced team that cant stay alive or doesn’t offer any team support.

4) If you make legendary the next season you should start in Division 2

5) MMR should be character based not account bound

6) Legendary Reward Track…or at least more interesting reward tracks

7) Custom Arena Revisions… There is no point in them and why charge the 2g per day?!
Would be cool if you could allow strategy sessions or add situations that you could replay, host tournaments (1v1 and 5v5s)…

BLAH, the reward tracks currently are so boring…. Can we please get some new stuff!!!!

Thanks

Any thoughts?

Does this mean soloQing to legendary will be even harder than in season 1? It does sound like it

It should be easier since your teammates will be of more similar skill instead of the team teams having player skill split between them. Imagine matchmaking as if it were trying to make a bunch of 1v1 matches by picking 5 players as similar as possible to fight another set of 5 similar players.

Also take note:
Division <> Skill.

There will be plenty of diamonds like last season who were clueless, couldnt play etc etc… and it’ll still be a mess.

PIP Division does not guarantee good matchups either.

Except number of pips does not correlate to skill whatsoever!…dumb!

@kahzee, points do not mean a whole lot in this game system… They need to revamp the way you earn points. Because if you fight 2v1 on a point that you have capped you are really helping your team out but you do not earn any points. There are many games where I am on far point and get 3 enemy players pulled over to the point I’m on. If I do this multiple times throughout the game I can come away with 40 or 60 points when the games over. It does not look like I contributed much because you are fighting with 3 other people racking up 15 points a kill the whole game. But these points don’t just go to you. If I come hit the target once I can get the same points you got for fighting the whole fight.

Wow, really?! just remove stealth from the game then. Whats the point of stealth if you can’t use it….

I’ve lowered my settings all the way down, it seems to help with the crashing. Will update again in a few hours to see if it actually effected the problem

Still crashing constantly. The upgrading OS is not possible for me because I am currently on the newest OS for Mac and on 64 bit….

Bump again! Arena net please address the constant crashing issues…Bumping because there are so many issues but the game is unplayable because of crashing, I’ve also lost so much experience and had to restart HoT story missions several times. I just downloaded a small update really hoping this fixes the crash issues…

Will reply again soon.

This is happening for me on my MacBook Pro as well! Very very frustrating. I’ve also been having issues where the game keeps crashing

Bump because this is almost unplayable!
ANet please address

Seems to have a lot of errors and bugs in the mac client…

In my guild hall I cannot click any upgrades or even scroll down in the windows.
I am a leader of the guild. It works for one of the other leaders.

What do you mean exactly? And it’s increasing in occurrence for me.

I’m having to restart my computer to get back on the game now also

Mine is also crashing constantly…Very annoying!

The Health of PvP

Profession Daily’s, no Dishonorable, 4v5’s, no Solo-Q balancing, and absolutely no value in even being a PvP Rank 80 are just some of the problems with PvP today.

The introduction of the PvP Season was by all accounts a very good thing. Unfortunately that continued success failed, and continues to fail ever since the introduction of Profession Daily’s. Why can’t we have everything; Dishonorable Status, no 4v5’s, Solo-Q Balancing, accurate MMR, and specific Solo-Q matches where your actual PvP rank is taken into account outside of the PvP Season, turned on? The Season really only exists, figuratively speaking of course when they restart the leaderboard. So why do we, the community have to suffer, when its easier to just leave the good stuff turned on? And just announce the reset of the leaderboard which is the START OF THE NEW SEASON!

I would like to see a PvP where your rank what places you in matches with others of your same rank

Good points, why even turn these things off? Whats the point?
no Dishonorable? why ever not have this?
OMG please do something about 4v5’s if dishonorable is turned off i might just start leaving 4v5’s and que up again, its a loss either way.

Solo-Q_balancing = none;

How hard would it to implement simple things like; theres 2 guards in this match make one go to each team. bam! problem solved.

Whats the point of levels in PvP now? other than the stomp? that by now means nothing because everyone is level 80 or close to it.

Somethings i would also like to see/be able to do is check your MMR , have an in game leaderboard, an actual point that the leaderboard to exist, something to work for after rank 80, a point to having a rank…
