Other people said it already but with the UI size set to small i was able to get the buttons on the same spot and with mouseclick bound to my scroll wheel i was able to just scroll to buy my 500 clouds.
I wish i could sell mine.. i have 450 transmutation charges.
I change my looks often but when you only pvp you get them too fast :d
Matches this season were more fun balance wise.
That bunker crap from season 1 was so boring.
I enjoyed this season since i got to legendary division losing only like 5 games.
All games except for 6 were duo queue.
Though i did enjoy winning almost every game, it shouldn’t be like this.
I see myself as a good pvp’er but this season made me feel like i have some pro league skills.
Maybe i got used to the 50% winrate from season 1 but i don’t think i should be winning games this much without any loses in between.

Try setting the resolution as high as possible and interface size to small in the meantime.
That way i was able to get the both buttons on the same spot so you can just spamclick without moving your mouse.
I like titles that you actually had to work for.
Back in the day when Liadri was new i was really happy when i got her down and got the title.
Now im running with Primordal Legend for getting legendary division last pvp season.
1) Started on Day 2
2) Ruby tier 4
3) My winrate is like 90% this season i think i lost like 5 games in total.
4) Advancing, currently still on a winstreak.
5) No loss streaks at all, not even 2 losses in a row.
6) Of course i’ll continue to play ranked I’m having a lot of fun now that you can actually kill stuff, last season was boring.
What else do people spend their money on??
Since you seem to dislike the costs of the guild hall.
I’m in a guild with like 5 reallife friends.
We donated a total of 6360 gold atm into our guild hall since there’s nothing to spend gold on anymore after playing the game since the beginning.
I still have 1k gold left wich im saving for scribe but im waiting for that since they announced they might change the cost of scribe.

I’ve played ranked pvp matches for 3 evenings now.
At the moment in at tier 2 in sapphire and only lost 1 game this season.
Wich was like my 2nd game so from Amber tier 1 to sapphire tier 2 im on a winning streak…
From one side it’s cool that im winning every match getting rewards and pips fast.
On the other side i keep wondering how is this possible.
I was so used to the 50% winrate last season and it feels so weird to just win every game.
I wonder when the winstreak is gonna stop…
Exactly, people who will 100% afk every game for daily participation will stay at 0 pips so everyone actually doing pvp won’t play with them as long as they are further than what was it.. 15?? pips away from that.
I don’t get why you would afk though since there’s top stats daily and win with a certain class daily.
You can still get all 3 dailies done in a single match like this.
(edited by Sampo.9678)
Actually having to pvp for your pvp dailies to get pvp rewards sounds horrible indeed.
OP is lying
Here’s a recent screenshot of me having even more points than OP.
He’s clearly not the best.
I’d like to add that the Hard Wood upgrade doesn’t work either.
I noticed matchmaking is weird in unranked though.
I was playing on an alt account trying to get it to rank 20 in pvp.
I was rank 12 in pvp and i had to fight legendary ranks.
Before i was rank 20 i played against or with that team 3 more times.
But whoever was against them had no chance.
i’ve always been the bunker type and since they removed bunker guardian from the game i had to switch to bunker mes and tempest.
So thats what i played in team and for solo q i used viper reaper
Click the meta achievement to see wich achievements count for it.
You problably need to do the daily 3 ranked matches one done.
So all the circled games im sure we we’re running with a pvp team in our guild.
I believe there’s one more we did but forgot wich one.
We did 2 where we started the mission during the map vote, wich usually worked.
The last one we tried to start mission before queue even popped.
Not a single pvp match gave us points towards the guild mission.
Oh while writing this we did a third match and suddenly got it finished during midgame.
Apparantly it does work but the bar in guild mission “0/800” isn’t working.
I’ll never understand how people even care about what kids rant about in games.
They are in every part of the game not just PvP.
Look at the HoT maps when people have to CC a boss but can’t manage to do so.
Then look at the map chat lol.
Put them on ignore and enjoy whatever you are doing in the game.
The pips still confuse me aswell.
Yesterday evening we lost a game 403-500 and we got a pip.
Anyways, will we get guild decay this season already or is that planned for next?
And what about the guild team rewards?
There’s guilds with multiple teams in the top.
Do you get a reward for every team in there or just the highest or what?
Lose 2 pips while winning.
http://www.twitch.tv/thelordhelseth/v/28022083
He done.
I tried to hoard these potions multiple times but every now and then i couldn’t ressist opening them :<
I’m back on 100 potions now though so there’s that.
Would be nice if we could get a reply from a dev on this one.
This is amazing
I hope this attracts more PvP’ers to GW2.
Together with the F2P and frequent balance updates this could turn out well.
Just like players who PvP have to do PvE to get their shiny stuff.
But now that it’s the other way around it’s suddenly a problem.
Anyways like others pointed out the items are tradeable.
And hey, not everyone in PvP are little kids that get angry at whatever someone does wrong.
A lot of people welcome new players there because we all know that the more players we have doing PvP. the lower the queue times :P
Am I the only one who reads these forums almost exclusively for posts written by Wanze?
It’s because of Wanze that i turned into a flipper long ago.
On-topic i am still no economic expert but from what i’ve learned in gw2 is that flippers are actually good for the ingame economy.
And i do not understand why people are so kitten about this way of moneymaking.
I don’t stand in the trading post all day long.
I do some fractals. i do some pvp and i buy and sell some items on the TP.
Just like everyone else can.
Custom servers can be configured the way people want to in hotjoin and that’s ok.
But the normal hotjoin servers, players should be unable to pick a team.
Players in losing teams go spectator and force autobalance and then join the winning team.
Sometimes i see angry kids in unranked telling other people to go back to hotjoin to learn how to pvp.
But Hotjoin is pure aids at the moment and should be avoided, especially by new players.
And i would like to see rewards being lowered for custom servers.
I believe they can get 25% of a track at the moment? Maybe that could be lowered.
Hitting eachother and jumping down the hole to get rewards shouldn’t be as rewarding as doing pvp normally.
This way you can still get your dailies done then on such a farm server as much as you’d like.
I’d like to get less tomes of knowledge instead of other items..
Every character on lv80 and i keep getting tomes…
ok I figured out how he did it. Still not sure how to fight it other than have the world’s most amazing reaction time.
http://i.imgur.com/WjAsEih.gifLike shoot I played a burst Vanguard in SWTOR and thought I’d seen it all when it came to burst, but kitten .
I had a build like this just for fun before the trait revamp.
It hit harder back then with the old traits..
Hit all signets for might and spam 3.
If it fails well then you’re kittened :d
I’m all in for an option to make it use pve or pvp gear in the arena.
They should’ve just put this info on easier to find places.
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157?_ga=1.4690800.237670393.1441008549
Some of these look great!
Also don’t forget that not every pre-made is as good as orng/tcg.
Me and usually 2 guildies pvp a lot with just the 3 of us.
Hardly any communication during the match and no teamspeak.
We just enjoy pvp’ing in unranked
And im sure we’re not the only “pre-made” like this.
I tried it last weekend and did have some fun killing bunkers in a few sec with burn.
It’s kind of like a berserker build but then with burn.
You place the burn trap and field and do some combo’s and hope your enemies die.
If they don’t well you try to dodge and evade untill you can do it again.
There’s no reason for it to be free, except if you want HoM full of gold sellers and trolls.
The $10,- sales should be cheap enough for anyone that’s only interrested in PvP.
In GW1 you could buy the pvp only pack for that same price.
In GW 2 you got the full game for that price during that sale.
And there’s been enough other sales that made the game atleast half price.
Have you ever been in a match where you see four players in the top left hand corner suddenly went to green then to red and then to black at the same time and consistently? Have you ever seen a 200-20 points split? I rather just ragequit and go into another match. But I don’t get that option, so I am better off just afking so I can get some reward.
In hotjoin, I get that option.
What you are doing is fine in hotjoin yes.
I was reffering to people who do this in unranked/ranked games.
Again to the point, rewards are fine but a hotjoin rework is needed for it to be actually a practice place. New players wanting to learn how to pvp and click the practise button. Get to join a server full of high ranks switching to whatever team is winning. To create an even bigger imbalance.
And they’re like, wow the pvp in this game sure sucks.
Keep your custom servers with whatever pve farm rules you have on it but change the default ones so we can actually welcome new pvp players.
Also, lol at some people complaining about long queue times and at the same time complain about new people joining pvp.
You can’t have shorter queue times if you don’t welcome new players and give them feedback on what they do wrong or right.
Yea go ahead and tell that pve noob to go back to pve, enjoy your long queue times forever.
(edited by Sampo.9678)
I have no opinion on removing rewards for hotjoin.
They could implement a rank restriction on servers though (not on custom ones)
so people that just started to pvp can actually practise instead of fighting rank 80’s
a few servers for rank 1-30 / rank 31-60 and 60+ or whatever.
That way you can actually practise and learn how to pvp based on how much time you spend in pvp (since thats all that pvp rank does).
Instead of getting zerged by high ranks switching to whatever side is winning creating an even more uneven match.
Also.. why are some of these pve hotjoin heroes so toxic.
I don’t join dungeons to afk and get my pve rewards or pve daily.
I’d problably get kicked for being afk and added to peoples blocklists.
Why do you want to afk in pvp so badly and still get rewarded for it.
You can do the pvp daily practically by playing and winning 1 match in unranked.
It takes 15 minutes of your day.
And in those 15 minutes you want to ruin the game for 9 other players.
I still don’t think hot join is a good way to learn how to pvp though.
It’s filled with higher ranks farming new people and switching to whatever team is winning.
I can’t even create a new API key now…
Taken from the PoI.
PvE gameplay doesn’t currently provide the kind of challenge which would make swapping to a strong support kit like revenant’s staff and the Ventari legend valuable, so the development teams want to address that with elite specializations, revenant, and unrevealed challenging content.
We’re finally getting challenging content!
Must be some NA problem.
My stronghold queue’s popped faster than conquest does.
Excellent review, really well written!
I’d like to add that i like how they put a combo field on Inspiring Reinforcement so that you could use mace blast on that for swiftness. But the blast is a bit unreliable like you said, really hard to get the 2 blasts onto this same field.
And while i agree a faster cast time on Embrace the Darkness would be nice. It might bring problems to the trait that does an aoe daze for 2 seconds when you use elites.
I already tried spamming Embrace the Darkness with the daze trait and burn for 3 sec.
And i can see this becoming really annoying if the skill is faster :P (guess the trait proc should get a cd then)
Liked the gamemode a lot better with these changes.
- Treb is cool now that you can shoot at people channeling, last time there were people channeling while having perma stab from certain skills and there was nothing you could do about that.
- Less supply available wich makes it more pvp and less pve!
- Seeing different builds or build functionality. Been a bunker guardian for quite some time and now had a lot of fun not only supporting my team but also the npc’s.
- Landscape Bug: when we were stuck in the map yesterday evening we did some exploring and trying to jump around. We noticed we could jump on the 2 houses closest to the trebs. And from the house at the sea side you were able to ride the lightning (maybe leap too?) out of the map.
- Bug: Overtime didn’t work
- Bug?: Still had npcs going for trebs sometimes (Archers)
- Question: does anyone know what aegis traits work with Turai Ossa?
He applies a lot of aegis so traits like Unscathed Contender could be really cool?
Guess it doesn’t work for the other 3 traits guardians have since those say you have to apply the aegis yourself.

I had a lot of problems not being able to use range attacks
The only ranged weapon we have now is Hammer.
So whenever you’re not playing hammer everything ranged has a free kill since there’s too little gap closers and revenant is hella slow.
Had some fun with the mallyx elite though.
Could spam the 2 sec daze and 3-4sec burn with mallyx elite wich was kind of funny.
Rampage still killed me.
Amazing games indeed. Enjoyed watching it!
build templates hype!
Awesome jumping puzzle once again.
The Skritt caves remain my favorite but this one is amazing as well.
We had a lot of fun completing it.
And of course being the mesmers lending a few people a hand who fell down.
Good article, summons it up pretty well.
I think everyone can agree that the FAQ thing was a huge mistake.
For the rest i still have a neutral standing in this.
Kind of waiting for a list of stuff what we’re really buying before buying anything.
When people bought the core game they could only play 5/8 classes.
You had to buy 3 extra character slots to play every class.
Nobody complained
When people buy the expansion without extra char slots they still can only play 5 classes.
Everyone loses their mind.
Will be cool to watch the streams of people trying to queue
/shrug . Guilds with 10 players can do all the types of mission. I know, I ran missions for my guild for the 2nd half of 2013 with an attendance of ~8-16 each week. The only things we had trouble with were one or two of the Challenges.
Edit: Oh, and the Southsun Rush, ofc. But I’ve seen guilds with 50+ players in attendance have trouble with that as well, so…
Exactly this.
We’re with 6 people most of the times we do guild missions and we’re able to do pretty much everything. Except a challenge or two, and when we get the Southsun rush we cba to even try it :p
We’re saving influence and merrits atm for if we might need them for guild halls.
We haven’t bought anything else with influence anyways the last two years except for guild mission stuff.
