Guild Wars 2

Thanks. I tried to find a solution for ages. Running the game as admin (rightclicking the .exe -> run as admin) helps.

well i’m pretty sure that the player dced longer than 2 mins. In both my cases when it happened the DCed didnt even got back befor end of the match.

And even if he dces only 2 mins. In Tempel e.g. a 1 min dc at around 8:30 were both buffes come is a sure loss. Maybe implement it so that the dced only gets dishonor after more than 2 mins, but it counts as forfeit after 1 min for the rest of the team.

Well they have a Known-Issiu-Tracker: http://help.guildwars2.com/entries/98802888-Known-Issue-Tracker and this bug isnt listed.

There were multiple threads about this in this subforum and the bug-subforum:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Lost-pip-with-1/first#post6022905

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/PvP-Losing-a-Pip-with-a-DCed-Teammember/first#post6026604

seems like noone is caring about this.

As i said in my first post: The DCed Teammember never reconnected to the game. So that can’t be the reason.

You have to manually select the Gliderskin. Using the backpack doesnt change the glider you are using. Press H → Glider Skins (its below Equipment, Wardrobe, …, Finishers, Mail Carriers). There you can select the Gliderskin you want to use.

I opened a new thread in the Bug-Subforum. I think that is the place where this belongs. So if anyone else has experienced this, please post the Time, Timezone, EU/NA and the account on which it happened in the thread in the bug-Subforum:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/PvP-Losing-a-Pip-with-a-DCed-Teammember/first#post6025973

I now had it two times happen to me: Even though a teammember DCs/Leaves the match, the match gets listed as a defeat in Matchhistory and i lose a pip and my winstreak is gone. And i wasnt in a party with the DCed Teammember before, during or after the match. In both cases the DCed Teammember did not reconnect to the game befor it ended.

The Blogpost preseason states literally:
“If a player from your team deserts the match, and your team is then defeated, you’ll lose no pips for that match (and the match won’t count as a loss should you be on a win streak).”

So this has to be a bug.

Details when it happened:

Zone: EU
First Time: Match ended 17:50 (UTC+1) on 26.02.2016
Second Time: Match ended ~18:05 (UTC+1) on 04.03.2016 (Tempel of the Silent Storm Score: 501:299)

Both Matches played with this acount: phantis.4815

I queued both matches solo and both matches are listet as a defeat in Match-History.

More examples from other players in this thread in the pvp-Subforum: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Lost-pip-with-1/first#post6022905

Same thing happend to me now the second time. Send a ticked the first time, but no response.

Its just frustrating finally having a winstreak and then loosing it cause of a dc. So its not just the pip i lost for the match but the extrapips i would have gotten the next matches.

Remember that even though MMR wont be used to determine your enemies it will be used to find teammates with an equal skill level. And if I’m not mistaken your MMR is affected by the Points your team has at the end of a lost match. So if you see you are losing, you still got an incentive to fight for every point you can get. If you afk and lose with very few points your MMR will suffer and you will be matched with worse teammates in your next matches.

everyone wants DH nerf: DH gets buff.
everyone wants berserker/warri/thief buff: nothing.

I dont agree with DH nerf. BTW I cant see the buff to DH

True Shot: Added unblockable as a skill fact.

everyone wants DH nerf: DH gets buff.
everyone wants berserker/warri/thief buff: nothing.

When you shadowstep/teleport out of Test of Faith, the Elite Trap from DH, Ring of Warding or similar skills you still get the effect of it. Is this a bug or is it inteded? Because for me as thief there is literally no counterplay to guardiantraps if I get caught inside of the Elitetrap+ToF. I have no access to stability so the only way for me to get out of the Elitetrap is to shadowstep. But then I get ~8k dmg from ToF + the knockback from the Elite. So the only choice I have is to stay inside the Traps and die (I can’t even dodge in there because the space inside is to small), or port out of it and get 8k dmg+knockback (when not full live befor: similar outcome to staying inside (death)).

I know that I’m not supposed to win 1vs1 against a DH as a thief. But in Teamfights right now the only way for me to survive is, to run away when a DH enters.

Hey. I’m starting to get the feeling that there are lucky and not so lucky accounts. For One month now me and my guild go regular on Edge of the Mists to go farming – not Championbags but enemys. We make around 300 up to 1k kills at one evening. The most of my Guildmates get in every of this evenings at least 10 but up to 20 rare items. Others (like me) are getting mostly not even one and with much luck 1 or 2. And this has nothing to do with MF. Some with under 100% MF are the lucky ones and others with 200+% MF get nothing. And it has nothing to do with the damage done to the enemies (we get the same amount of kills (we can see this in the wvw-kill-archivement))

Straegen.2938:

With the new transmutation system can we still merge two pieces of armor taking the stats from one and the runes from another? If not that is a pretty big hole ANet left.

I would also point out that being able to salvage WvW gear wouldn’t make a long term dent in the economy. It would have a short term effect as people cash out but eventually it would stabilize and have only a modest effect on prices.

No it is not possible anymore. That is the Problem.

Nadha.6097:

sigh. so true.
the time I stuck the runes in I relied on being able to transmute them somewhere else.
please can we have a “transport” or “destroy” option?

Well yeah i forgot this. Pre-Patch it was possible. Please add a new funktion for this!

I know the gear you get for Badges of Honor is not salvagable because it would destroy the market. But please ad a function to destroy this gear to get the runes out of it. Recently i started to craft a set of ascendet armor and have now a complete set of WvW-armor with divinity runes which are now useless for me (60Gold and more I could have gotten if I would have used other exotic gear over a year ago when noone could know that there will be a better armor then exotic in the feature).

What will happen to pvp-mats after the coming patch? will the crafting of pvp-armor be there after the patch or should i use all the mats now until 03/18?

I’m rank 30 and recently startet to use soloq and it is horrible. Because i didn’t use it from the beginning and so don’t have a position in the leaderbords i’m always in matches with at least 8 players out of 10 under rank 10.
I have no problem with new players in the non-tournament-pvp because somehow they have to learn it, but why in tournaments? Sometimes its funny because i can 1vs3 my enemies but if you have 2 thiefs rank 2 in your team who seem to press random buttons and die instantly its no fun at all. So please don’t make it possible for rank 1-10 to join soloq.

“all is vain”

The funny thing is: When i see an enemy with such a high rank while roaming i know i won’t have any problems killing him. the only way to get to such high ranks is playing PvD (D stands for Door) all the time, so they have little experience in fighting against players

To all here saying Ret is a problem with guards. It isn’t. It is a Problem in big scale battles. It’s no problem for a organised zerg(guild) to gain permaret for nearly everyone in the group.
And to all here saying that you simply switch to a nonglasscanon build… you will than maybe get less damage but its still often as many as the damage you deal to your enemies, and just stopping to deal damage is no solution, because the enemy (not only some professions but every enemy as i said above) has nearly permaret. the only solution would be to change your profession or to stop fighting entirely.

an additional Problem here is skillag. We once held SN with less than 20 men against 80 for more than 1,5 hours with rez-skills from warris guards eles and necros. The skillag was so bad that the enemies had no chance to kill us while we rezzed the Lord every 5-30 seconds for 1,5+ hours.

Umut.5471:

This makes nonsense, 2/3 of the guild need to play guardian for other classes to be effective then ?(except warrior which has its own long duration stability) We are already using at least one guardian in parties but one guardian(or maybe mesmer) can only grant low-duration stability to party. This can only prevent the first impact, then ? This is like saying play as warrior-guardian to counter cc train. Yeah, death to other classes, play guardian-warrior only in every aspect of the game.

Organise your parties. Do not put eles/mesmers/thiefs/etc in a party with a guard. This classes don’t need Stability, they should avoid CC with good positioning. Positioning is the most important thing for a good backline. And all these proffesions have enough stunbreakers if they are fokussed by the CC-Train of the enemy.
Then put 2 guards in every party with the proffesions which need stability.

Bastien.1645:

Really doubt Abbadons will win as it seems most people in this thread are saying they will.

Even though Desolation seems to be pulling ahead, it’s quite clear Gandara are stronger then us, and AM is very weak at the moment. Also, it would be nice if Gandara and AM stopped ganging up on us all day everyday.

Yeah abaddons is very weak now. The queues are killing us. Many of the good/experienced guilds/players aren’t playing wvw at the time. Additionally many players are afk at the spawn the whole day to be on the map on primetime (normaly about 20+).
For guilds it’s nearly impossible to have a proper guildraid so there is nearly no good organised zerg in wvw on abaddon since the beginning of the league.
In my opinion the servers with less wvw population benefit from the leagues cause their pve population helps them while servers with a high wvw population have all their wvw players in queues and the wvw-unexperienced archievmenthunters on the maps…

Same here, but I’m from europe and I play on an EU Server (Abaddons)

If they would move it into the suggestions it would be better than what they do now. They move alle gvg related threats to playerorganised ingameevents so nobody sees it again…

Thanks to the FR blob yesterday evening on EB for keep attacking us ( [LC] and [ODZ] ) in your Tower from 9:00pm to 10:30pm. I made about 400 kills in this 1,5 hours. It was one of the best blob-farming I ever had.

I’m sorry to tell you this, but even if it’s a produktive and maybe nice idea this threat will shure be moved from wvw-forum. Made a thread myself yesterday about how gvg could be easy implemented and it was moved <2 hours later. They don’t want to see anything about gvg here. Very sad in my opinion.

Epic run! I will upload a video from the last seconds (25% life untill end) later. It has very bad resolution so you only can see the time in some parts, but if nobody else has a video I think it’s better than nothing.

We should make a speedkillattempt with TKS, TSS and THS. Only 20-30 defenders + every ele we have in the guilds (with 1000+ Member this should be many) + rest other classes as many as possible on the OF. With Gearcheck: Only People with full PVT-Gear allowed.

LotuS.4378:

1. GvG community is a minority here.
2. Devon know better whats is better for WvW
3. ANet dont care.
4. Deal with it.

:D

1. Yeah I know
2. I know. That is why i suggested something what does not change something at the things he thinks are better for wvw.
3. Yeah and this is very sad. But I wont give up the last hope.
4. Never (until maybe when there is another game with a good gamemode like wvw)

Phantis.4815:

They said they don’t care to destroy gvg if it will make WvW better. That does not mean they want to destroy it with purpose. So why should we stop make suggestions.

They made wvw worse the majority agrees to that

Yes and i agree with this too as I said in the OP. But this does not change the fact that they think they made it better.

They said they don’t care to destroy gvg if it will make WvW better. That does not mean they want to destroy it with purpose. So why should we stop make suggestions.

I don’t like stat-buffs in WvW as many others here in the forum and hope Arenanet will change something about it. But one problem many people have with it, that it destroys GvG could be solved very simply. Just add an option for each individual player to remove (activate/deactivate) bloodlust for himself (in any other game I know you can remove buffs you don’t want to have, so it can’t be difficult to implement).

This won’t solve all the problems with Bloodlust but will at least make GvG again possible.

PS.: Please no flame against Arenanet or other Players in this threat. I Think they don’t want to hear your opinion if you flame them.

PPS: Excuse any grammatical/spelling faults I’m not that good in English, but I think I made my point clear.

Mor The Thief.9135:

In my opinion ANET should make them the same as you get ascended rings from fractals.

i.e chance to get the skins from the chest just like it is now but also maybe add an option of tokens for getting a token once a day if you defeat taco that day and say you need about 25 tokens(maybe more maybe less) and be able to trade it for a weapon from a npc(much like the pristine fractal relics) that spawns after taco is defeated(kinda like the karma vendors that spawn at temples after you finishi their event chains)

That way people will still have the incentive to do thsi event after all the hype for it is over and that way even if they fail they will always know that they can still get the weapon as long they continue to defeat him

very good idea. as it is now it reminds me of the “farming” of the fused weapon skins. some spend hundreds of Gold for black lion chests without knowing if they will be sucessfull.

Ok guys i think [TSD] is a failure. only 13 members. but there is [Teq] with now ca. 200 members.

no! read obodune. there is a second guild now!

Nice. Inv pls. Maybe a post in the german and French forum will help with getting people fast. And it would be nice if the op could update his post

Me too pls. I have Mesmer guard thief and ele on 80 full exo.
