Guild Wars 2

Today i had 2 times when the queue poped the game itself auto declined resulting in dishonnor, i am 100% sure that i didn’t even pressed anything, first time i wasn’t really sure so i passed it, the second time i didn’t even had time to press anything at all, it did just declined itself somehow.. not really sure whats happening.

This is so laughable, why do you even reply to those people ? We all have seen you, some of us even faced you as opponent, your live streams, your recorded videos all prove the truth behind every competitive ladder system ! It is not even how good or skillfull each one is, its about WHAT you do when it really matters ! After all these discussions-proofs people are defending their ego by trying to reject all these facts with some ridiculous arguments and excuses.. You don’t have to be smart enough to realise what’s really going on : Buttt-hurted people facing the truth.

lmao literally :>

As i see it atm, the only thing that really needs tweaking is the number of the placement matches, as the average rating stands on 1200 and 10 matches are far too few to determine the placement of each player because these 10 matches are extremely volatile and the system do mix new/bad players with average/good players at the begining, considering that thoses matches with mixed skill level are far too unpredictable and in some cases can be “unlucky” for some sides (players ragequiting-afking-disconnecting on purpose or not) leaving those sides on the weak end and with such volatility can result on false placement at the end. (Many good-pro players placed much below their level like silver-gold yet they climped to plat-legendary in a week – same as many bad players placed high and had straight shot down to lower divisions)

sephiroth.4217:

How about putting people in 1900 rating then. As you say, they will fall or would that be unfair? Before you take your condescending tone remember that youre the one trying to argue someone elses perspective and experience. So i ask you to understand my point of view, the average player stuck with these players that have 500-77 scores, if that doesnt tell you something is wrong, nothing will.

At the end of the day we want balanced games, why is that such a hard concept to understand? Why is wanting fair games too much of an ask for you?

I honestly have no enjoyment getting 20 kills against newish players and im positive they hate being spawn camped most games too.

Fair games for all skill levels is all we want. Enjoyable games.

Im honestly starting to believe the people defending this are either not involved in this tier of matchmaking or they are scared to lose thier godly feeling because now they CAN get 20 kills a game. Ill check your rating and post here after work when i get home so we can all see which category you fit under.

Because if you notice the top rating is 2300 which brings your 1900 very close to it and far – far from the bottom. As to your point of view, if you consider yourself better than those new-bad players you get stuck with, there is NO way you will be stuck with them forever, simply because your exprerience and understanding on skill/class mechanics and contesting strategy will see your team through, hell you might even faceroll some fights 1v2 or 1v3 and carry your team to the win, THATS will happen until you meet your skill rating threshold and face players with very similar true skill rating as yours, unless you are already at this threshold.

I would also remove daily class wins form ranked game. Sometimes i feel that ppl are here not for win but only for a daily

Well.. to complete the daily as a class win, you have to actually win
This doen’t make sense at all.

I saw many people complaining about some players playing ranked matches only to get their ascendend shards and all the other stuff.

Why not from the next season, make something that the pip reward track progress for each individual only when they win matches. and hey why not even lose some progress when they lose(optional) ! That should motivate every one to actually play to win in ranked matches.

Also you need to have a look at the placement matches, i believe only 10 matches are too few for that purpose and i think that most of the players would agree, just another confirmation.

Oh and last, i believe that it would be very interesting to remove duo que from ranked !
YES ! solo que for everyone ! no more pro duos but each on his own, that would measure the “skill” of each individual player more accurately on the leaderboard !

And this is where you get after taking the disguise..

So taking the bandit disguise from Seraph Spy Ruppel to enter the Seanan’s Bandit camp near Gallowfields waypoint in Brisban Wildlands, instead of getting you inside the camp you are getting teleported under the Hidden Lake east from there.

Hmm apparently setting the Animation to medium in graphic settings fixes the issue for now..

Since i updated today my ATI Crimson Drivers to Radeon Software Version
16.9.2 i get crashes randomly and everytime i try to get into the Heart of the Mists.

At first. yesterday i played one ranked match after three days absence, my record before i play this one was 2 wins, so i won my third one i got 2 pips but.. the system told me i got 2 pips only because i ended my loss streak ?? i didn’t pay that much attention so i left the game, and now im back and i see in the record that i have a 7 loss streak ??

My pips are the same as i left them yesterday so i doupt that someone hacked my account and played ranked matches on my account.

A) I have a problem, and here are three potential solutions. What do you think?
B/C/D/E) Your solutions are unreasonable for these reasons.
A) No! I don’t actually want any criticism for the ideas; I want you to take responsibility for creating better solutions to my problem. Rrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaage!!

Sheesh, get a grip.

Anyway, this season hasn’t been nearly as bad as the last. I think simply having 2 specific report options for “AFKing” a match has kept a lot of people honest. Perhaps just as important: MM seems a lot better. Last season was a wreck. I’m sure there are people out there who would disagree, but that’s my experience.

DCing, lagging out, and IRL distractions are always gonna be a thing. A one-week suspension for any offense is insane. The goal should be to keep repeat offenders out, which would involve something like a warning after X number of offenses, then suspensions increasing in duration, scaled to the number of offenses (and ideally the seriousness of the offenses). Which is more or less what dishonor is, but to have a more intensive system in place, it would take a lot of moderating and quite some time to see any effect, and I’m really not sure it’s reasonable to expect this just to appease people who come to the forums with wild, knee-jerk reactions due to an unfortunate (but let’s be honest, little more than inconvenient) experience ingame.

This is not only my problem its a known issue for a very long time, i didn’t came here yesterday just to wind up things cause of some unfortunate experience, these kind of things happened-happen and will happen unless devs have a deeper look to it and punish even further match manipulators, ofcourse all within the box of reason. Again read the original post again as it has been edited already before you insult me twice.

Sinmir.6504:

One thing about the balancing being freeing out a player of the same class if available on the other team. Shouldn’t it be more to do with MMR, which place they were in the team, or personal score, how big a contribution the leaver made and freeze the player in the same place rather than remove by profession.
An example, say you have a Dragon Hunter doing well, making a good contribution. Meanwhile a Guardian with all Spirit Weapons on the other team decides to rage quit he gets killed a few times. Freeze out the Dragon Hunter, which team suffers most from the rage quit?
As I said I wouldn’t be happy with being frozen out because a player on the other team was AFK but this is what I think would be more fair if it did come to that.

I agree that this can be really frustrating as it is, nobody would like to freezy in mid game cause some ragequiter. Thats why im proposing extra penalties for these kind of behaviors. On a 4v4 balancing the system can pick up a random player regardless his contribution, i just had the impression that this class pick up preference by the system, could bring more balance in 4v4 situations.

Suggestions of penalties and other situations edited on the main post.

In my experience, deliveries are rarely scheduled so precisely. I typically get an “estimated delivery date,” which is usually more like a 3-5 day window. Which reminds me… I’m currently waiting on a package. Guess I gotta stay out of ranked til next Tuesday.

I already explained some cases of being afk during playtime, finding new excuses isn’t gonna help. You wanna play ranked and leave your team alone ? fine its your right ! All i ask is to ban people from ranked pvp who are just randomly afk.

So far anyone who hasn’t brought any better idea to solve this and being just a sarcastic kitten, obviously has no interest to solve the problem at all, and the fact that they try to generate more excuses to afk shows that they do it quite frequently and they would like to get away with it intact.

So please once again in case you haven’t read the first post : if you have anything to propose for this problem feel free to do so, if you don’t agree on anything and have nothing better to say then just ignore it !

I didn’t bring up anything new. I just pointed out how ridiculous it is that you’re telling people how they should receive deliveries and when they should/shouldn’t answer their doors. I think the dishonor system works just fine for people who are unintentional and infrequent offenders. A one week ban for minor offenses is just silly, and your response to criticism is rather alarming.

As amusing as it is to watch you slowly descend into madness on a video game forum, I think it might do you some good to turn off your computer and go get some fresh air.

There you go again ! nothing new to propose, just to critizise and offend !
I never told people how to live their lives, my point is that going afk in ranked match is
unexeptable and people should be punished effectively in higher divisions (which on those levels people want more committed players from the matchmaking system). The current dishonor system is failing epicly cause people can afk and manipulate results safely without any warning or penalty by pressing a random movement key.

You are the ridiculous here coming to point some ridiculous afk excuses that people like you generate again and again. And if you’re going to criticize my sanity state again like you’re the expert shrink, il just report and block you for good.

EdgarMTanaka.7291:

Mr.Dude is home, plans on playing Gw2 pvp ranked. He gets a babysitter to take care of his kid and he is sure nothing will interrupt him. 3 minutes after starting a game one of the following things happen:
- babysitter comes and tells you your kid has hurt himself and needs medical attention emdietly.
- You smell a suspicious smell of fire smoke, and notice that neighbours firealarm is sounding.
- power goes away for 5min.
- a burglar comes in your room and knocks you out cold.
And more…

When you can finally play again after you have taken care of what problem that happened, would it be fun to find out that you are banned from the only game mode in the game you like?

I think OP takes GW2 ranked way to serious.

keep the excuses coming you are being very productive..

Any courrier comes into my house unexpected if im bussy i make him wait couple of minutes, not everyone is obligated to answer right away to an unexpected guest or anything else such as a police which i find it extremely unlikely to happen.if i expect someone to come i don’t play at all.

what kind of couriers do you use? if I’m not at the door within 10 seconds they’ve already started writing up the “I’m sorry you weren’t in” ticket, and if they manage to complete that by the time i get to the door (<30s) they’re already gone and I have to figure out some way of getting across to a remote industrial section of the city in order to pickup the package sometime within the next 7 days… so yes I’m answering the kittening door right away

I don’t know how courier work in your country. but generaly courier work like that : if you have a scheduled delivery from a store, they call you earlier at the same day of the delivery to confirm the location. That means you are expecting him anytime.
I can’t be that irresponsible to play in ranked while waiting someone or play any game that requires my attention in generaly and make the guy wait outside in case of scheduled delivery. In a case of an extremely unscheduled-random delivery from any anonymous source i simply ignore it, you have no obligation to receive something like that at all especially at your own house.

Malediktus.3740:

An activity meter could be the solution. So this in another game. If your activity drops 0 you get booted from the match and receive punishment

Like the activity participation in wvw kinda thing i guess.. thats also a great idea but kinda easy to manipulate like the currently afk meter where you get the warning and you can just hit any movement key or skill and reset it.

5 minutes ? thats a long way to stay offline.. sorry to tell ya but its really frustrating fighting 4v5 even while you try to reconnect.. the best thing you could do is to stay offline to ensure that your teamates (who you dumped accidentaly) do not lose their pip or win streak. Just make sure that you don’t have connection issues or an overheating computer when you are about to play ranked.

Zintrothen.1056:

20 seconds without combat or being on a point. RIP Reapers. What about thieves needing to run from home to far for a decap? I’m pretty sure that’ll take 20 seconds or nearly that long. And what if someone ends up being on that point? He’s not going to engage in that fight just to avoid getting banned. I like that you’re thinking of solutions, but this one is no good. Also, anyone can just stand outside the spawn area.

At the very least, they should make it so that if you aren’t in combat and not moving for, let’s say, 30 seconds, then you’re banned. They should be careful what system they implement to deal with AFKers. If it’s too weak, it’ll be easily abused, but if it’s too strong, then honest players could end up being punished.

Finally someone thinking rational ! Ok 20 sec might be too much,i only put it from my own experience that you can’t be ooc for more like 20 maybe 25 off point not engaging.

I play thief alot, thiefs are the most vesratile class in conquest pvp, he can run around decaping and choosing fights to +1 fast this is how a good thief shines making every second of his roaming count,ofc not everyone is a good thief but even the average ones should have at least step on any point or engage something between at least 1-30 sec.

That afk timer should only work only after getting ooc or leaving the spawn, and there can be other factors to reset the afk timer aswell,like using a siege or approaching within a certain radius on a enemies capped point without engaging and many other mechanics.

Ofc ragequiting people will try to exploit these mechanics to get out clean,thats why i suggest the instand report/kick as players themselfs can see a weirdo jumping around doing nothing on purpose.

lol im fine with how it is rn, i mean if u have an afker the only thing id like is to have a team vote give up option during any time of the match

Why would you give up ? maybe the other 3 of your team wants to win !
Isn’t it better if you have to fight 4v4 making it balanced again instead of just loosing a game (maybe even your winstreak) and your pip ?

Would be even more annoying for the other team. If a player on the other team was AFK while I was in the middle of something crucial I wouldn’t want to be frozen out.

Yes but how do you feel when you win 5v4 or lose 4v5 ? isn’t it more fair for someone to sit out until the missing player comes back ?

Don’t play ranked if u have a child around to deal with, when i play in general i have always a person to look after my 3 year old son

Either stick to solo games rather than GW2 or always queue as a premade if you can’t cope with people having to leave their keyboard at times.

Well yeah ! Good idea ! I have 2 children to take care off, a private teacher in my house for my oldest son,a plumber in my kitchen fixing stuff, and what else ? oh yeah im expecting a friend to come by so what do i do ? Lets open Gw2 and play ranked while i am waiting.. perfect !

You know.. why do you even seriously commit yourself in pvp and read pvp forums when it is perfectly fine by you for someone to go afk while playing ranked ?

its a game dude..there is no commitment
if you are soooooo salty make a team for that commitment you want towards pvp

Exactly this is a game ! but look each threat about afkers and match manipulators and all those pvp is dead threats about these things ! why not trying to make it better and more fun by balancing things keep away people who ruin other’s people game cause they can’t play by the rules ? There is no salt the match i lost was really insignificant for me as i am already in legendary division but i had people on my team still on diamond.
Fine ! if you find it extremely to ban people then suggest something else im all ears !

If someone has a genuine reason to go AFK then yes it’s fine, if for example someone’s doorbell rings and they have to go answer the door, then yes I’m fine with that, because I’ve queued up solo for a game in GW2 and have realistic expectations in line with that, rather than delusional expectations you seem to have more in line with what you would expect if you were playing DOTA 2 at The International for a $1m.

Really if you can’t cope with other people behaving in a different manner to you, then the answer is in your hands and simply involves you taking responsibility for your preferences rather than expecting the world to behave how you want, so go find 4 other delusional people with the same views as you and queue with them.

I don’t expect anything, i am here to make a suggestion. You came here and call me delusional for no legit reason. Why don’t you instead of calling me names read carefully my suggestions above and bring new alternatives or if there is anyting you don’t agree with you can always say the reasons you might find so logical nicely without insulting people ?

And if you can’t cope playing responsibly a team game without going afk in critical times then you are the one who must go and play a solo game where u can afk anytime you like.
Last thing if it is really ok with you with afkers in upper levels of ranked pvp then i won’t bother answering you again.

You aren’t supposed to name… I think her, (the name does sound quite feminine) on the forum. That’s something you can get in trouble for.
A knock at the door, phone rings, family member needs help. Banned for a week. We don’t know why she stayed in base. I don’t imagine she would rage quit if the team was winning. Maybe a parcel arrived that her parents or sibling had ordered, nobody else in the house to sign for it. Maybe something more serious like a frail grandparent having an accident and needing medical attention, she needed to call the ambulance and comfort them.
The other option, I’ll just say I’d hate if that happened. I have a clear shot at the inner gate guards, door breakers behind me. Somebody disconnects on the other team, next thing I know I’m a spectator and my DBs are dead. Or I’m on the trebuchet, enemy door breakers are at the outer gate, one treb shot away from wiping out the DBs, enemy same class as me sees that, alt F4, I’m spectator as well, outer gate down. Could practically be used as an advantage. A player the same class as you alone either attacking, defending or on a point you and a teammate could 2v1 or you could AFK and let your friend do what they want to do unchallenged. If you are queueing with friends there is a player the same class as you that is better than you and you believe to be carrying their team, why not just AFK? They can’t carry if they are a spectator, if they were better then their team lost more than yours.
Could maybe try to balance it, get a player back by offering their place in the game to queuing players, make it fair on them by not giving dishonour if they choose not to join a match that is already halfway through and giving their place in the queue back after the match.

Seriously ? Then why he/she didn’t reply to our teamchat ? at least some sort of a warning or something ?

lets say one of these extreme situations happen in real life inside my house or just outside of it, i would be more glad to go and help someone in need knowing that i might have a weekly ban than just do nothing at all, an the other hand why my teamates has to suffer all this ?

On the balance thing, yes it would be much more fair with a spectator mode,because lets face it : after a certain level and beyond carrying a game is not a simple task espacially on higher divisions (diamond-legendary) where the pressure and frustration are on peak for each match. You say “If you are queueing with friends there is a player the same class as you that is better than you and you believe to be carrying their team, why not just AFK?” well anyone goes AFK for this sort of manipulation its his sorry kitten with a penalty for week and a permanent season x ban if he do it again so good luck with that !

Doesn’t need to be extreme circumstances, DHL pull into your driveway with a parcel, nobody else home to sign for it. What do you do?
About the spectator thing. I did say queuing with friends, are they going to report you for going AFK to put a strong enemy player in spectator mode? Even in pugs they could agree that if a player the same class was a lot stronger then AFK and remove them. Group could decide they’d do it for you if you do it for them. your own team aren’t going to report you for helping them.

Any courrier comes into my house unexpected if im bussy i make him wait couple of minutes, not everyone is obligated to answer right away to an unexpected guest or anything else such as a police which i find it extremely unlikely to happen.if i expect someone to come i don’t play at all.

Like i said, perhaps you don’t know, even now if you go offline more than 2 minutes while in a premade your whole team lose a pip because of you even if your team wins the 4v5 somehow. If it would be with the rules i suggest with the ban and the warning i wrote above would you dare to afk even for a joke ??

It’s cute you think the player base can support this idea

I don’t know you tell me i find it perfect !

Another idea if you find that a whole week ban from ranked is extreme for you.
The ban can be for 1 or 2 days long and this rule will apply only on higher divisions
such as diamond and legendary, so the people who play ranked pvp for the legendary backpack only climping to ruby or lower wouldn’t suffer if they get frustrated or ragequit because they are only up for the backpack piece.

Ross Biddle.2367:

This one time I had to step away from my computer to deal with a child. It was a one off event, not something that happens often.

For this I’d receive a week long ban from PvP.

Since I only PvP, I’d put down the game and never return.

Great idea OP

Don’t play ranked if u have a child around to deal with, when i play in general i have always a person to look after my 3 year old son

Not a great idea for afkers and match manipulators i know

First of all, read carefully and if you are going to critisize on anything please counter them with some reasonable arguments on how this or that is not going to work well, and we can discuss a better proposal.

My proposal to implement in the ranked pvp system to avoid these situations is :

Instantly remove and ban the player from the ranked system for at least a day, if one of these situations occurs :
1) a player stays more than 30 seconds at spawn zone (even if he moves inside) after he respawned from dead state
2) a player not engaging in combat staying off point for more than 60 seconds
(again even if he moves around doing nothing)
3) if 5 or more (which means his team and at least 1 from the enemy team comfirms his behavior) match manipulation reports occurs for the particular player either it comes from his teamates or the enemy player.

After the player is kicked and banned from the ranked system he receives an email in game warning him that if he behave in a ranked match staying idle or manipulating the result for the favor of the enemy team again he will get a permanent penalty not allowing him to participate in ranked for the rest of the current pvp season leaving him on his current position.

In case of situations of disconnection, or someone suddently needs to abort a game due real life reasons, the player may choose to /abort the game receiving the current dishonnor penalty for himself of 10 minute ban and the deserter tag with the pip loss without affecting the rest of his team progress. To avoid a manipulation he will receive a warning after the desertion that the next abort should cost him 1 day ban and if he does that several more times : a ban for the rest of the season.

Of course these rules must be made clear for each player before he enters the current pvp season to avoid any misunderstandings.

Now, another simple idea when it comes on situations of 4v5 or 3v5 for whatever reasons.

Once a player got kicked or he disconnects for any reason the system should balance instantly the match by removing 1 player of the enemy team to spectate position (like in hotjoin maps) until the others team player comes back.

Which player should the system put to spectate ?

Lets say if a guardian goes missing (kicked or disconnected) from the blue team the system should prioritise to put a guardian (same class) from the red team on spectate mode.

If there is no guardian on the red team to put on spectate mode the system will pick a random player from the red team.

This will ensure that both teams will have an equal chance of winning no matter what or who is missing. It will also greatly reduce situations of match manipulation-frustration and will enchance fair play and fun in pvp once again.

And please instead of criticizing this idea you might help improving it by throwing your ideas, if you don’t like it at all just ignore this threat !
Thank you.

My answer is in context to quote.

Please don’t make this discussion go in circles or better yet, read the posts leading up to that answer rather than taking one quote randomly and quoting it for the sake of another argument.

I won’t support Dev’s and failed promises about legendaries and I won’t support Devs for backing out on their word about badges. You guys are more than welcome too support actions like these, but I won’t.

Im waiting for a final answer from a dev about their intentions about this matter.. until then im gonna keep this topic open for further discussion and my claim for purpose.

A legendary back piece is still cosmetic.

Btw Anet still trying to find the fix for that graphic lag bug since that latest patch came in..guess its some sort of a karma..don’t fix it if its not broken

why the heck u had to get your hands on graphics insulting and annoying people with removing our pvp badges and now the game is literally unplayable both in pvp and wvw.. thats just becomes so silly..

They could also rework those badges into frames. Like when you click on other player and see their avatar with frame of corresponding divisions.

Brilliant idea ! kudos !

PvP league badges mean jack in wvw, amber or legendary, doesnt mean the player is skilled…

Doesn’t mean the player is skilled ? have you ever even played ranked ? if yes how far did you get (division) ? please don’t make silly comments like that..

Lol please, pvp isn’t pvp orientated so… You do less pvp in spvp then a roamer gets in an hour….

Any noob player can claim that.. truth is in wvw there are very few people who are really skilled in pvp and i did explain why is that on my previous reply right above. Roaming in WvW all u can do is gank and duel people that can have much lesser combat experience, level-gear stats than you while in pvp the matchmaking will bring you only against players with a similar level of skill as yours and always having the same tier of gear stats. but yeah why not just go roam in wvw with my super-duper condi build showing of my “real” pvp skills by ganking people who does not even have a proper build and gear or even enough exp for 1v1 to defend themselves.

Anyway every trully skilled dueler i met in wvw they always had tha leggy badge already, and i didn’t see any one of them to agree with that removal from WvW.

I see many people trolling here..
To those trolls who say “i don’t care about your shiny uselles badge” & “stop crying cause a pvp badge should never have a place outside hotm” or “its good that they gone” or even “pvp badges shows nothing about skill and everyone can get the black one if you farm it” etc etc etc. i’ll tell you what :

You have absolutely no idea what it takes to obtain the legendary badge simply because you are trying to make look our badges so poorly in value inside and outside wvw maps. even a diamond player would have never said those things cause he undestands whats going on and what hell he had to cross in order to get there.

I can understand why the majority in wvw people feels bad and underrated cause they never had even a closest chance to get a high division badge next to their names, simply because they didn’t work enough for it or they just can’t improve anymore in terms of personal skill.

As for the difference of the game modes between WvW and PvP :

You still HAVE to fight other players in order to take-contest or defend succesfully a keep or tower for your world which means the personall skill and good teamwork DOES matter after all, if you are just running around with your blob spamming 1-1-1 or throwing wells right and left having no clue what to do when u get immobilized or stunned and just die,or even when your massive “blob” meets a guild group with much lesser numbers and you gonna get shrekt not knowing what happened, you’ll never gonna help your world win important fights thus making your commanders to ragequit and the rest is already known.

The only thing that does not require skill in WvW is just sitting all the night (while watching tv) in a tower next to an arrow cart and just use it on anyone that happens to pass by.. a problem that anet still hasn’t addressed for all those 4 years..

Now to conclude this : i really feel tricked by what anet did to me.
Im a WvW player im raiding with hardcore guilds for almost 3 years now, and after some point it gets boring so i stepped into pvp more once the league system came in promising great rewards for the most dedicated and skilled players including that black badge next to my name. And suddently in mid of the season they take it away from me after many sleepless hours in pvp..

One last thing : bring pvp badges back in wvw and make it like that so, those who wish to see their own badge will see the badges of other players aswell and for those who really struggle in 2016 with their computers graphic performance in wvw should toggle it off for themselves and everyone would be happy !

sPvP badges are not equal to skill or are PvE or will be WvW if they go with it. It just shows your progress on a game more inside GW2. Where you chose to spend your free time playing this game, that’s all. If you look in to it, is all a joke to brag about any of the badges on any game mode in GW2, just asking for equality here.

As for the name, agree, the shorter the better.

sPvP badges are not equal to skill ? so u say to get into legendary division all u need is farming ranked ? seriously now ?

I am not gonna participate in ranked pvp anymore if they don’t restore these badges like it was before the patch ! end of story ! in fact the more they do changes likes this the less im gonna play gw2 at all, until i quit playing completely ! this is an outrageously unfair change !

So you play spvp solely to have a badge displayed to your name? What is wrong with people these days..

Exactly ! thats the whole reason i played in season 3 ! you might find that is something wrong with us who do that but thats how it is like it or not ! people are paying hundreds or thousands of gold just to buy weapon skins to look cool, you don’t see anything wrong with that too ? why do you even care ?

I already made a thread about it, because I feel just as strongly as you and many other WvW players. Cannot stress enough how depressing this feels, to have worked so hard for a reward only for it to be taken away with no prior notice or warning.

Many players got their legendary backpiece a long time ago and already PvP population is low, to drive away the WvW playerbase as well only hammers home the nail on the coffin.

Please, consider adding an option to toggle badges on and off. You added an option to move the compact inventory button after one innocuous comment by a twitch streamer, so you can definitely do the same here for us.

I couldn’t agree more with you ! i read your thread and the reply from the dev, i must say that’s the most ridiculous excuse about the graphical cluster thingy since gw2 runs pretty easy even on the oldest machines out there. My computer runs a 2010 generation i5 cpu and an HD 6870 radeon gpu with 1080p resolution ! in wvw i have a constant 60 fps and barely under 45 fps on blob fights in WvW. I am making the point that those pvp badges doesn’t affect the performance in the slightest of meanings.

I also bet that people who really wants those badges removed from WvW are those people who are annoyed that they can’t have the top pvp badge next to their names simply because they are not committed enough to play ranked pvp or don’t have the skill and potential to improve themselves.. i know its salty, but trust me i know enough people in wvw community to make that conclusion safely.

Suddently with the latest patch i noticed my pvp league badge was gone inside WvW maps ! same with the other players ! although i understand the reason behind this decision i must say it is completely unfair !

I have put many hours in pvp this season just to have my badge next to my name ! needless to say i have my pvp leggendary backpiece since season 2, so thats the only and the single reason i participated on ranked pvp this season ! i do not play pve much. put wvw is where i spend most of my time after i obtained my leggy badge !

Please bring back pvp badges in WvW or at least make a option for players to be visible inside WvW maps or this is the last season i even bother to play ranked pvp.

I beleive many other players feel the same as me and that change may only do damage in ranked participation and its going to die really fast when everybody get their pvp backpiece !

IM sorry what im gonna say, im just hopping devs will note my complain.

PVE became just worse with all these recent changes i mean really much worse in experience,its suppose to be a game and make even better but all they done is make it much more frustrating.dungeons-world bosses are much more harder in unacceptable way some of them completely undoable. i understand many people find this game very easy in many terms but what about people like me who are not so pro and just want to enjoy the game as smoothly as possible ?
