Guild Wars 2

Mainly play PvP, decided I wanted go for some of the HoT legendaries. Map Completion.. cool not a problem. Doing meta events for currencies.. ok. Needing 50 mill exp to max out Core Tyria Legendary Crafting, pretty much all of the HoT tracks.. kitten off

Dear Anet,

Why do PvP updates take so long?
Is it because you are afraid of ruining the PvE balance?
Or does the PvE balance team just rekt all the PvP balance team’s ideas?
Just split the skills then!

Sincerely,
Frustrated PvP player

PS
I hate you! T.T

Hello

I am looking for a guide or must have specs when buying a laptop to run GW2 smoothly. I am mainly PvP and WvW if that helps.

looking for a revenant

i want this stickied so bad!! There is no place for players who only PVP to form teams because this forum gets flooded with PVE/WVW guilds!

Hello all,
I’m looking to create a team to compete in the many weekly tournaments. I’m currently looking for 2 dedicated teammates to fill the roster.

Requirements:
-Able to play from 8 to ~10pm EST
-Age 18+
-Mic and various voice comm. programs
-Willing to be flexible in learning different classes
-Take criticism with intent to improve
-Need to be vocal within a match (ex: calling rotations)

PM me in game or on the forums if you are interested or have questions.

Not even top 1000 and faced two players in the top 20. What even is this? Plz fix

Hello we are a group of 3 who enjoy the team play of pvp and are looking for other pvpers who are tired of just playing alone and/or interested in playing with a group. We play using mumble so who ever is interested must have access to mumble. We are a group of real life friends who consistently play TPVP on a M-F basis starting at 8PM EST. We do take games seriously and try to win, but are still very friendly and welcoming.

PM in game if interested

Does map chat recruiting even exist in this game? I can be 4/5 with friends on VoIP and just ask for a necro. 20 minutes later… nothing ps also used the LFG tool
(joke)

Anet can we please haz replays of previous matches? I dont care if its just for one previous match, just something that will allows teams to watch together and see what they did right or wrong to help them improve! Thanks

BUMP!!!!!!
Need one more, preferably a D/D ele!

I would have thought that it would have been released by now, but what is the deal with this new system? What are we to expect?

I feel like this game has no incentive to form teams. At launch wasn’t there daily, weekly, and monthly tournaments? Are they coming back with the new league system?

prod?? HIT ME UP

Hello … wonder if our post would interest you

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/lfteam/NA-Team-LF2M/first#post3561815

We are still looking for two more. Are tired of players who say they are interested then log back in a week later.. T.T

RaynStargaze.6510:

Actually with the introduction of skills having to be unlocked to be used it kind of forces people to play a bit before going tourney.

…. that or if they still have the option they will probably go in with nothing but a heal skill equipped xD

My concern is that with the new update offering gold, these new players will not care to take the time to learn the gametype/ maps. Population increase is great! Having to play with these new players is not, especially when there is nothing in place to teach them/ learn the ropes.

How do we get these R2 players to not be so bad though?

I would rather have a 4v5 match up where i know that i am going to lose then be in a 5v5 where everyone on my team is doing an amazing job and we lose 430-500 due to the R2 player not fighting on point or just not doing anything productive.

I feel like if they were better familiarized with the gametype and maps then they wouldnt be so bad… Upon further thinking i couldnt even think of one thing there is in the HotM to help give them an introduction to spvp. (Hot-joins? forget about it)

We are gonna get a influx of new players next week due to the gold being added for matches and im sure they will just play the format that yields the most gold(Team queue) with no idea of what is going on.

Is this what you want Anet? Not to be so negative i did add some ideas on how to make the jump into spvp much smoother for them. If anyone feels the same way please add in how you guys feel this problem should be handled.

• Separate 5v5 arena for R1-10. Must play at least 10-20 matches to unlock solo queue.
  In this beginner arena.. FORCE them to watch a 20-30 sec video highlighting key features to the maps. (Use a zoomed out camera like you do for vistas) Closer to graduating out of this new arena .. give them more advanced videos. Roaming, build types or basic tips and trick.

• Make rank visible at start. As in when you press B show their rank. Beginners sometimes dont want to admit they are beginners. This will allow the veteran players to talk to them real quick before the match and give some guidance.

• Force players to actually load into the match before the timer. I feel like in every single match there is never anyone loaded in to discuss strat etc. When they do get forced into the map by the timer, the match starts in like 30 secs and no one bothers to talk.

Hi

I was wondering what is a staple build for fractals. I never got into it and I want to give it a go.

Weapons Sets? Traits? Utilities? Im guessing full zerkers for armor etc

Myrmidian Eudoros.4671:

Some kind of a 5-objective relic assembly with persistent pieces could make for interesting dynamics if done correctly. The strategic choices of carrying vs. stashing the relics and how to split to get as many as you need would bring interesting choices to a team. Then you get the mental game of hide & seek between opponents or attack/defend or bait & ambush depending on a team’s strategy. For a secondary mechanic a Kill Race (first team to 15 kills wins) or some way to terminate respawns (and therefore win by killing all opponents) would be great flavor. Mobility would be extremely valuable in a mode like this, so you’d have to find some way to equalize it and give less mobile comps a chance.

I like this idea alot. Maybe make it a build the golem the fastest race. The different pieces will show up on the map.. so you know which part to go for … and have something show up on the UI so you know what your are missing and what the enemy is missing.. So you know what to persistently defend etc.

Maybe 6 parts to win … 2 spawn randomly every so often… have some ability to steal parts maybe?

Coulter.2315:

If the game mode didnt require you to stand on a point you’d have to deal with Prismatic Understanding mesmers and permastealth/disengage thieves like you see in wvw. The only reason these things are worthless in pvp is the cap point – without it you’d face a bucket load of kitten the likes of which you just aren’t prepared for.

I agree! I also agree with the OP. Sad that the ppl responding to the post are saying TDM KILL KILL KILL or 15V15 WVWVWVW

Justin ODell.9517:

The solo arena roster shuffling should be in the next update (11/12) unless we find a critical bug and have to back out the change. This change should eliminate the sync queuing, and do a great deal toward preventing lopsided matchups.

More significant changes to matchmaking will come sometime next year, and I’ve already been told I can write-up a blog post and start a conversation with you guys, so keep an eye out for that.

Well now that sync queuing is gonna be fixed… Can we please add some sort of feature to stay with your current team into the next fight? Maybe add rewards for win streaks etc. Sometimes i get into some matches where I actually feel like my teammates arent half kittened and wouldnt mind playing with them again, but in reality i will never see them again. Even if for example I decide to queue with one or two of them in Team Tourney, im guaranteed to go into a match vs a full premade team on voip.

Also what is Anets plan for getting teams to form?
I dont think solo queue is helping and map chat is non existent. If allowing winning teams to continue onto a streak was implemented, you would be able to actually form some kind of connection with future buddies.

Feel free to add any other suggestions for solo queue

please implement this!! I dont even see the purpose of town clothes.. in PvE.. please allow us to look sexy in battle!

fix conquest so its not always 4 mid and 1 home dawg! skyhammer could have been good but the panels and falling off the map pretty much killed any hope for that. If that was removed then you would have different starting split variations. 1 home 2 hammer 2mid? etc hence not doing the same thing over and over for each map.

Myrmidian Eudoros.4671:

I would suggest that it would come out better if you had NO build swapping and NO character swapping once you are in the que. It would force comps to build in flexibility if they don’t know if they will face Conquest, CtF, KotH or whatever else. It is impossible to balance for all of them at once, but if you leave an element of uncertainty on what the next map will be with no means to adjust for it, then versatility becomes more valuable than optimizing for a single mode. I think that would add more depth and diversity to the tPvP.

I agree with what your saying! It would definitely add more depth and diversity. I was just aiming at allowing the build swap so if you run into those troll teams… you still have a shot at winning. Its too hard to be truly balanced in this game with no dedicated healers. I also didnt want matches to then come down to.. oh well we auto lose because the other team has X warriors for example. it may allow for some build counter playing/ adjustments before match starts instead of just straight up swapping classes.

I really love all the idea people are coming up with! My biggest concern is that people want so many different things like 2v2, 1v1, 15v15 but what do you guys want for the actual structured PVP. I dont mind some of these things to be thrown in just for fun, but 5v5 has to be the core. We need to come up with a centralized competitive aspect for GW2 because then it will give something for the devs to balance around.

15v15 and 2v2s do sound like a lot of fun but not esports friendly and balance friendly when there are twelve different gametypes with all different team sizes. It will also fracture the playerbase. I also thought the point of the custom arenas was to be able to create all these different team size stuff. Maybe if players had better options (choose respawn timer and location) then this wouldnt be such a problem. Why cant ppl just make their own 2v2 tourneys using the CA?

What i want is CTF, conquest, KOTH and something else so then we can have a rotating tourney playlist. HoH from gw1 sounds amazing but i feel like in GW2 and no monks… you cant be truly balanced. ex: AOE kill way will prob destroy any team comp in KOTH, for CTF most mobile, and for conquest bunkers. So there HAS TO BE build swapping in between matches and NO character swapping AT ALL.

Moba sounds awesome too. kudos for all the great ideas on that but it would prob take forever to develop and test out.

we are still looking for one more … sorry if i havent responded to everyone’s pms!

We try to stay positive and rage free!
