Guild Wars 2

I will tell you sthing, after all 60 friends/netfriends left GW2, and because this game is so anti-social, i havent managed to get a team to play paid-tournies, moreover the amount of teams that actually play in paid and free tournaments is not THAT high. The game has mostly indivinduals, i am pretty sure, that if Arenanet brings a solo/duo paid tournament, you would get some very fast queues.

P.S i do NOT plan to make a PUG and try paids, that’s the purpose of Free tournaments. I do not plan to go and just waste all my tickets for no apparent reason.

Solution is pretty much simple, take the Elo system League of Legends has, both team and solo/duo , and implement it to GW2, and everything just got fixed.

Do not know why u take things from so many things around, but u fail to implement such a simple system from the most successful MOBA game right now

Hello there, Orion eh? that name rings a bell.
If you find any good guild let me know ;p i am in the exact same position.

First person who will actually promote an EU server gets a cookie

Hello to all out there

I have a little small question to do, as i am an old DAoC player myself, the thing i hate the most is ZERG, i just dont like it.

So i tried to look for a new proper home before arenanet lock us to our servers, and even if i thought that lower populated servers will be lower ranked, it seems that the opposite happens. Medium populated servers are high ranked, and very high populated are low ranked, making it for me impossible to figure out, which is the bracket that i will have the best chances to meet the least zergs possible.

I dont mind zergs normally if i have a proper group, i have done plenty of times 5vs20+ but as everyone i know stopped playing, i end up by myself, and seriously ;p going solo wvw and keep running and running all the time from zergs is not pleasant. I want to do my proper 1vs2, 1vs3 fights, and as these fights last for a while, i always end up giving up the fight and start running vs 10 people ;p

Edit: Oups forgot to say that i am seeking for an EU server.

Spectacular Yak , you are correct in everything, except your last sentence, for you the sport enthusiast that is correct, but in an amateaur team, winning gives you the bragging rights, how many times you have won a team and you were “poking” the other side for losing? while in the proffessional field, winning means more money, meaning better “gear” even if it doesnt give advantage, and more $$ to the pocket, oh well that’s another thing.

Same goes here, YOU WANT STHING to at least to brag about if you are OWNING in pvp. And that’s mainly the pvp ranking, even if the opponent doesnt know WHO u are, even if Arenanet decides to give the rank titles only for YOUR realm, so people do NOT pick lower ranked players, it’s still OK to have YOUr allies to know that u have killed a very good amount of players.

I will just try this once again, ignore my guild it was just an example, go around in forums, open your eyes, people are whining about no personal gains, why you guys fail to see this? it’s not about me, i dont want personal rewards, i am talking about the rest of the gaming community, any community forum you check around the internet, you will find various and multiple posts about this concern,

As i said already twice, and please dont make me repeat it MORE than 3 times, THIS IS NOT A DEBATE like the rest of the threads, DO NOT try to make it flame wars, this is a valid concern, that many people have expressed, and i just stated the fact, that nobody nobody wants a huge playerbase to leave this game because you guys believe that there is no reason to put a personal reward for playing wvw. And if the current rewards that you suggest are just not enough is not up to me, it’s up to the community that complains that it IS.

SO let me say it once again, EVEN IF ALL these guys are wrong, and you people that posted here are CORRECT, it DOESNT matter, because even if these whining kids as you refer to them are WRONG, if they leave, you will end up with empty wvw zones.

FAIL to understand this, then you fail to seriously take any discussion to higher levels.

Massacrul.2016:

WvW rankings are just useless… it’s for me the same as achievements are.

And if average age in your guild is 28 y old, then i feel sorry for you guys.

I kindly request to not lower yourself into insulting people you dont even know.

basicaly you never read my post, i said i give random numbers.

And about whining kids comment, my guild has an average age of 28y old, it’s not about whining kids, it’s mostly that this is an MMORPG, players that play this game are players who like massive multiplayer online game with roleplaying game elements, the common thing that all roleplaying games have is character progression,

as well as your comment about the current titles, these are archievements it’s not character progress. and if not all at least most of them are keep-pve related even in wvw.

I will add the comment that i said that i dont want this to become a debate if Arenanet should or shouldnt add pvp rankings, it’s about the fact that many people i know, and that’s a quite big amount of players, qq that there is no personal gain from wvw. I dont care if they are whining kids, i do care that if nothing changes they will stop playing and less players less fun.

Before this thread becomes another debate, about IF wvw should give personal progression, i want to clarify sthing, ( These are random numbers but most propably are close to the truth)

- 95% of the playerbase likes wvw
-50% of them play wvw just because they like it, and they dont really bother about any extra rewards.
-The other 50% want personal gains from wvw,

Hard Facts, Nobody wants to lose that 50% of playerbase because they didnt got their personal progression. Nobody, why ? because empty wvw will NOT be fun, 50% less playerbase will NOT give huge profit to developers, and many many people will lose some friends because they stopped playing.

Now after the facts we go to the suggestion.

I suggest Arenanet to do sthing VERY simple. They can create a WvW Ranking system, that will give titles every 10 ranks, with a maximum temporary 100 ranks, the ranks will be obtainable as slow as they are in spvp. These titles can be shown to allies as the rest of the titles, and to enemies it will replace the pre-fix Invader,

So a Rank 1-9 Player will be named “Invader Servernamehere”
But a Rank 10-19 will be named “Flammen Vakten Servernamehere”*

*Did u like my title choice? "

Adding to that, i suggest to give an armor skin at rank 50, and rank100, to reflect visually your archievement.

Now no matter what Arenanet Decides to do, the community needs, requires and demands an answer to this simple following question:

Do you plan to “develop” a new system that will give indivindual rewards from playing at wvw?

We dont want a timeline, we just want a developer answer so we can manage to KEEP guild members around until it’s developed, i see them quit day by day, because they dont have any personal gains right now, and Arenanet is silent about any future reward system.

And please please dont say that the reward is the armor, because right now most serious gamers are already full exotic gear.
Edit : And btw pvp gear is terrible looking, so you dont even give them a reason to farm tokens to get sthing good looking.

Let’s not discuss about the fact that there is no ladder system in spvp, so people stop playing spvp too. :S

I believe our friend OP is asking for dungeons to become a 5 man raid ala wow thing, which imo is great ( They did that in WAR) and it worked pretty nice, except the fact that the mechanics were broken and some of them were way too easy,

BUT i would highly suggest to do that for NEW dungeons ( plus the items should not have stats they should be just cosmetic, because if a new player starts, and friends get him through this new dungeon he will most propably get geared in 1 day) , that thing would attract a lot of pvers to the game as well, and in the current dungeons to just add what another fellow said, add a 50 bonus token for completing all 3 paths.

Please do a +1 if you agree, because i believe this would fix a very good amount of problems people have, both content for HC pvers AND grinding for gear for the rest of the people.

Creating a single “raid” (5man)dungeon every 3-4 months wouldnt be way too hard for arenanet imo. AND that would attract a hell a lot of people. The game HAS the mechanics. and imo it should use it. ALL for the SHAKE OF LOOKS
