Guild Wars 2

will we be getting a rating system? like elo and also will there be options for smaller groups like arenas?
and game modes, CTF/Team death match?

ive seen confirmation for dueling but nothing about a new rating system and or more modes…

after reading half of these comments i feel like none of you even read the OP’s post.

he made it clear that he can’t find a group because he gets locked out for “spamming”
the proceeds the comments like

Frost.9376:

Stop spamming LFG. Do it once, maybe twice, but after that make your OWN group. Somebody has to take initiative to make a group out of the million people spamming LFG so why not make it you?

Also if you’re 80 try going to Orr, Frostgorge, LA and the zone which the instance is in. I usually have no issues finding a group doing that.

you serious? 1) he CANT find a group 2)he gets locked out of Chat, so what? he was spamming for groups for the lulz and actually had 2 people waiting on hand on foot till he gave the word?

Just wanted to respond to this -

According to Arenanet you’re not supposed to pug for explore mode because you need vanilla naxxaramas levels of preparation to tackle them effectively.

no Ex Mode was over hyped about its difficulty, while i agree your average pug prob won’t complete it, it’s still very easy for people to farm these Ex modes pug or not.

with guildes 30 mins tops any Ex mode its a joke really, and with pugs varying on who is in the group40-60 mins obviously there is also a chance your pug will be discouraged and quit but heck thats what you get with pugs.

(puts up flame shield)if Pug Raids can be pulled off in WoW, Pug Ex mode groups will work here, Ex mode has nothing on (eventho nerfed)WoW’s Raids

which is why a very small portion of the community wants these dungeons buffed interms of difficulty because currently its really not that hard at all.

Minifig.5291:

How hard is it to sit outside the instance and wait for people to come by and ask if they’re looking for a group?

oh so you wanna wait around and do nothing till by chance a group picks you up?
and at 80 its 2-3 silvers just to waypoint and if you walk to the dungeon you just spent a decent chunk of time walking to the dungeon and you aren’t even guaranteed that you’re even gonna get a group. see how backwards that is?

heck lets go back to ever quest grind while were at it? better yet lets go back to weapon decay mechanics like UO?

because going progressing backwards is obviously the right choice

i got an idea how about they make it so you can only do the next dungeon by grinding the first dungeon for the set of gear/weps with specific stats because the next dungeon will be instant death without it.

So you get AC, Grind AC>get Gear>Do CM>grind CM>get Gear>Do TA

its freaking genius.

but i digress, grind is apart of MMO’s, its the name of the game and honestly Devs can only disguise grind for so long.

my only gripe with the dungeons is that Ex Mode is way too easy i have now done every path and i have to say i feel that Ex Mode was made easy so people could grind it for Tokens,

because honestly if they actually made Ex mode hard pugs would rage(even harder) because they just wont be able to complete a single run let alone grinding them for tokens.

they need to add another difficulty just for challenge sake, because most of the fun mechanics were on “trash mobs” and bosses were just tank(kite/dodge) n spank

Tip. have someone pull the 2 on the sides(one at a time ofc) and its a 100 times easier

let me start by saying i have not done every dungeon/Ex Mode but from the ones i have done(AC Story & Ex mode/CM Story & Ex mode/TA Story & Ex mode/SE Story & Ex Mode) and so far bosses are pretty much Attack > Dodge > Repeat.

AC so far has the most interesting boss fight (the lovers) where it has the whole (keep them apart) mechanic, other bosses i have fought just seem to be pretty straight forward, Attack>dodge with maybe adds thrown in or 1 shot ability’s.

are there any bosses where you do more? for example where you split your group into doing different things whilst attacking the boss(im terrible with examples) like the boss has a shield and you must take down adds to lower his shield you sorta get the picture something along those lines.

also difficulty, people have said Ex Mode is sorta like raiding in WoW, but honestly while i found it hard after a couple of wipes we pretty much had it down, and raiding in WoW at least before i left (pre Wotlk) you don’t just wipe a couple of times and then have it down.

im just wondering if they made Ex mode easy because they want you to grind it for the tokens? because Orr is no challenge and currently the dungeons & Ex modes ive done are while challenging at first they are quickly figured out then become ridiculously easy(SE Ex Mode is laughable)

Has anyone else noticed that gpu usage is at 99pct? i was playing last night 9/10, about 9pm pacific time and my normal gpu usage is anywhere between 20-50 pct, i login today and all of a sudden 99pct gpu usage wherever i go with the occasional dips to 70 pct,

not i have not changed or done anything different within that time frame.and i have tested other games to make sure it’s not my gpu .

temps are still on the cool side 66degrees but normally im at 56-60 degrees while gaming.
