Guild Wars 2

Yeah I we get free losses cuz a-net… so legit.. if its known bug they should remove the cause until they get a fix… remove ranger or what ever..

About 5 min before this post (19:02 Time zone: EEST +03:00 hours ) while in ranked pvp some weird bug made my chat stood in 1 place. No condition no nothing. I was chasing a ranger. Another teammate confirmed that had the same issue..
Resulting in loss since I was impaired for long enough…
Explanation? I deserve at least this much.. since I am not getting anything for the loss I got…

Since character slots promotion I had 4, I created 3 chars, and now when I try to create another one I get this msg pop up. I press backwards to my previously created characters and I can log in with them, e.g. my internet is working just fine and nothing is blocking the game…

Soo I guess that guy will keep playing gw free of anything he does…

So this is the n-th guy in pvp that is either afk, or dc-ed, or mmr sinking or what ever… I try to report I get those pretty responses…

p.s. This is just one of may ppl responding like this… the report system in gw2 pvp is no factor what so ever… ppl can do what ever they want, nobody cares…

Well is this going to be fixed soon?

I want my golden weapon!

Side note: I had all 3 missing skins prior adding this achievement, I have weapons with each and tried equipping and re equipping – didn’t work. I am not wasting trans charged for test…

A-net pls Fix I want my golden weapon!

Constant 4v5 due to either DC players or players who leave.
Players switching classes before start all the time, braking the balance.
Queue matching up 4 lights armors vs 4 heavy armors, somehow that seems unreasonable, happens way to often in my mind.
Matches that end up with 4v5 should not be counted as loss for the handicapped team.
What is going on with punishments due to AFK inside a ranked match, or due to toxic language – I am starting a collection of screenshots from players who say – “Go ahead, report me, that means nothing, no one will punish…”… ect. What is the point in having a report system, that is not functioning?
Today I got double Queue about 2-3 hours before this post, then both queues got bugged and stopped.
Sometimes Queue extends 2x or 3x over the predicted time period. When I stop it manually and start a new one, I get instant match – this looks like a bug of some sort.
Leaderboards have not been updated for 2 weeks – how can I track my win rate and stuff without this?
I guess HoT is important but come on.. most of those things are in game for ages and no one is bothering with them…

Abuto 2 min ago I started Ranked Queue but 20 sec later I decided to stop and go unranked because of shorter timers. A minute or so after I got double pop up so probably there are ppl fighting 4v5 atm. I also sended a bug report ingame, before posting here.

4 crashes for the last 10 minutes
3 of them in ranked pvp – the matches were fun and equal in balance… lost eveyr single one by the time I got back in… Thanks a lot
Its not only that I loose the matches I cant even get my daily in hot join…. and there will not be a compensation about this as well.. so legit

Nothing obliged, and its not just about he char slots, its in general, the BL lately has nothing in promotions and caught my eye… even gems dropped to 16g per 100gems

Its rather sad to see how u stopped giving promotion of almost anything, as a veteran player I found myself puzzled by this… you are holding stuffs for HoT I guess but still its discouraging – I can either waste gems for full price slots, or just not play the game till a promo appears… its like you assume everyone is playing the game in expectation of HoT …

Dear LFG Tool ppl can you fix the Fractals submenu – the numbers are all wrong – The scales should be 1-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 41-50.
The way you paired them confuses new ppl since it is based on the old system. Its been over year now ….

p.s. would you add a function to this, that forbids ppl that are in a ban list to rejoin, or ppl that were kicked from the party to rejoin and “troll”?

TheFantasticGman.9451:

Just buy another account when the next sale comes out and hope it has a better RNG baseline than your current account.

If RNG Baselines is ever proved I will delete the game, not buy second one….. and I will delete everything connected with it…

Kreejaffa.3682:

I’m available to be sacrificed, actually.

Though, I will demand things before you stab the life out of me with that dagger…like steak…good steak…

I got some of that Lamb I mentioned

I mean, I did a Lamp sacrifice already last Sunday, but apparently that did not please the RN Jesus… So after 2 years of playing GW2 almost every day, I reached to the conclusion – a blood of a virgin must be spilt in order to get a drop.. especially after watching my friend getting 6 teq hoards in 1 month and a Pre from champ bag, while I was just sitting there… like Spiderman in that meme…

Every time I close the game in invisible mode and open it up my lfg sends me o NA when I am EU and its really irritating.. I have to restart the game again in order to get to the right LFG…

Side note: Fract lvl scales are still not adjusted after the last Fractals update which is confusing as kitten for every new person doing it…

I Recently started getting a msg sort of like this one:
You have been removed from Queue and you have to reenter.

What is the meaning of this (and life in general)?
If its some sort of penalty I got from 1-2 recent DCs in ranked games for like 30 sec, I will Accept my punishment with honor (but pls fix the msg to be more clear about it)
If its something else then: explain ExplaiN EXPLAIN (you crazy Dalek voice).

Also again from about a week or 2 I get to start queue for ranked matches and after 4-5 min not getting any response, I just give up (on life) exit the queue, press it again and Instant match: What is the meaning of this (sign of RN Jesus or what?)\

(For any grammar mistakes please forward your complaints toward google translate cuz this is the best I can)

This lag is getting out of hand… after last patch especially…. Also Winters jumping puzzle has extra lag in it, its totaly insane… pls allow me to play the game properly!!!

And this just happend again – msg prompt for a match while i am in a match, 5 sec after 6 ppl from current match are gone with the wind…

May be fix Fractals numbers in LFG, because they kind of do not represent Tier changes that happend last Fract update (use to be 1-9 10-19 etc.., now its 1-10, 11-20 and so on). Ppl are still confused about this, and LFG does not help what so ever.

And also that lovely bug that when u try to start LFG in Offline mode your post ends up on NA servers, while you are in EU…

1 minute ago I was in ranked match, about 11:30 into the match I got second prompt for another queue that i canceled, and then 2 seconds after 3 of the enemy team and 2 of our team god dropped or something so all in all we were 5 ppl inside. The kitten?

I do not understand why A-net is expecting courtyard to be playable map in ranker arenas…. there are 4 maps that follow certain pattern of capturing points which involves builds designed to hold point and survive for 30-60 seconds vs 2 players till help comes. Those build are totally, utterly, completely and all the words I can’t think of now, useless in that map. And since there is no build saver atm this is total b*lls**t… I go there with build designed to 1v1 or to holding and there we go, game is 4v5. Also the first one to win a teamfight is likely the winner of the match since there is no way to comeback with outplayed pure dpsing…

Just remove that map… Even Skyhammer has more sense in it… And don’t wait till some seasons and stuff… This is just kittened situation

On the other hand to be strictly on topic:
1. Use a specifically non-random NG. The NRNG functions similarly to a RNG, but has characteristics that either squish the distribution so that outliers exist much less or specifically manipulate a player’s experience for loot in a more complicated way that makes it feel rewarding. – Is it me or this is the most complicated option out there to be implemented? Also I think You, as a company or developers, have a slightly different understanding about what the meaning of what feels “rewarding”. The community in general, in my mind, does not consider something of no value (e.g. if something costs less then 1 dungeon run (1-3 gold). The really rare stuff are what matters, and by using this method what you will do is (the way I imagine it) people will start getting more drops that already have low value (lets pick the obvious example – a random exotic with distinct skin), which will decrease the value even more. And given the addition of collections, you want to keep value is those items to some extent.
2. Implement measures that counteract low-end outlier behavior inside of game design. This would be a system that is something like: If player hasn’t received a rare drop in X time send them Y tickets for random drops. – This will only affect low-end behavior, and every RNG system needs a High-end behavior defense as well – e.g. If a player has received a multiple rare drops in X window of time, send him Y tickets for missdrops (e.g. no drops/bad drops or whatever You may call them). Then this may be the easiest and least harmful to the game way to change things around, but how will those tickets work? If all that will be affected remains to be monster drops (e.g. excluding champ boxes, event chests, daily chests etc.), then it will be just dust in players eyes. After all the changes, mob drops are the smallest of impact (best example – Entire map full with mobs and events, and 95% if them have little to no drop – Silverwastes). Now I understand that a lot of that is made to battle exploits, but in that regard this system will chance little to nothing…
3. “Add secondary reward mechanisms (ie. token based system) alongside the primary RNG system; allow progress to be made even when you don’t get the result you want.” – This in my mind is the best of all in terms of fairness. Problem is it will make some stuffs grindish, others less rare, and lots of long term, high-hour invested players unhappy. On the other hand (real life example) – One of my current guild leaders (guild dedicated to bosses like Teq and Great worm) has probably the most amount of Teq kills in-between all 500 of us, yet she has 1 (if I am not wrong) Teq skin box, and there are players that come 6 times and got 2 boxes… Also token based system can be implemented everywhere – champ boxes, chests, etc., but how will you value the items and their costs is misty as Rytlock’s fate. After all exotic with bloodlust sigil and ordinary skin worth way more then something like Entropy (and it should be the other way around right?).

To tevoro: They have, problem is the way its explained it’s a bit fuzzy.
The way they explained it, as far as I remember, if you have 1 in 10 chance to get something as a drop the game rolls a dice(sort of) with 10 sides(sort of again) and you have 10% change. Let’s say you have 300MF – this should make it 30 ( or 40 this is the fuzzy part) – e.g. 3 sides of that 10 sided dice will give you the drop. And this should go to every single drop there is. Correct my memory if it faulted.
After this (assuming I have not missed something), how is this implemented?
1. Does my game client do the roll, or the roll is on server.. (in a galaxy far far away)
2. If a given monster have 50 items associated with it then what? You roll for each? But then as far as my 2 years in game I see 2 sometimes 3 drops from mob, so there is a cap, or u roll for certain columns (e.g. will you and what junk, will you and what armor/weapon.. etc.)
3. How can You (A-net) explain the controversy – players claim there are “hidden things” that affect the drops like being away from game and stuff and Your statement. What do I mean (I presume You give us the right information and we make some mistakes, but still applying the observations from playing): There are a certain number of players out there (enough to be of statistical value in my mind) that get insane amount of “good” drops (good is quite subjective I know, but in general), and probably the same (or may be a bit more) that haven’t got anything of use. (yes there is a medium there, but the interesting part here is the edges and why are they so distinct).
4. As far as the information I managed to find about MF a while ago, the RNG You actually use has no securities in place – what do I mean: Every RNG should have a anti-loop mechanism – if a certain result is coming way too often, code must be forced to change the outcome.
5. There was a rumor back in the days where if you want Mystic Forge precursor and you have given number of rares/exotics, and there is a given number of % chance to get a drop you must do them all at once without leaving them map otherwise RNG will reset. E.g. is there something like RNG reset (not just for Forge but in general)
6. Given the fact you haven’t , and you probably never will reveal true drop rates, information like “The drop rate for X was increased…” is practically useless since from 0,001 You could have simple change it to 0,002% – which in terms is double, but in real live …
7. Why in the world is there magic find when:
a. There are about 20-30% of the mobs that have no drop what so ever (mostly to reduce exploits but still…)
b. After all the changes almost no loot is actually given by drops ( champ boxes, daily dungeon chests and other chests)
c. I am pretty sure MF does not affects even rewards from PvP tracks even though I have a vague memory about this in a livestream or something.
d. What use is there for MF??? Make game wide or just get rid of it and do something that will make more sence… ( keep in mind how much is invested by ppl to increase it already)

p.s. Forum does not accept word formatting I tried so hard to arrange it all…

Yeah apperatnly that is my problem.. this needs to be fixed i want to be away/invisible for a reason…

I am having this problem with LFG for about a week now, for some reason my posts, and posts of others are transferred to NA, while I am in EU, so I keep getting NA parties that I cant join.. this is really frustrating…

I am sorry if that is being asked already. I tired to look up forum, but your “search” option seems broken (at least for me).

So there is this Valor Grandmaster Trait XII Monk’s Focus – that states: “Using a meditation skill heals you.”
You made changes regarding Renewed Focus, making it Meditation.
Question is why isnt Renewed Focus affected by Monk’s Focus (or at least the skill fact does not states if it is)?

It would be nice if they at least say after its fixed….

relogged couple of times in 1-2 hours spawn, didnt got different IP

p.s. just logged back in after 6 hours, still the same IP

I am pretty sure that coin is not suppose to be there… and I cant finish the achievement.

I do not understand what is this though process involved into making ascended gear unsalvageable… so what I put infusion and 10g sigil inside, its just like i throw them if i cant retrieve… also dont tell me there is this one time use tool in BLTP to get components out, because that thingy costs 10x more then any sigil in game(beside the 60g sigil).
THIS MAKES NO SENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAKE THEM SALVAGEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chase I did not understood your point 0.o

U dont understand. Imagine u put a rune of str with its current price in a armor that u found around a world event with crappy stats. U want to change that with better stats or you decide to switch build, u need another rune because u cant get the old one out. The item they hav in gem store costs 3x the rune, what is this stupidity???

But what’s the idea over it, everything has its reasons?

Why is this not possbile?? What is the grand reason for this? Why do I have to buy item that’s worth 30+g in order to get my sigils/runes and infusions out of the ascended gear I have? Just why? What is the reason of this nonsence????

I do know the MF does not affect chests and bags, which is incredibly dumb, but that another question. That’s why I ask for rates that are supposed to be unaffected by anything – e.g. they are suppose to be pure numbers. I do realize that there may be different drop tables that rewards are picked up, but it theory a % can still be determined.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 – What I mean by control is a dynamic change into the %, according to the acquisition. And that dynamic change not being noted anywhere (e.g. recent changes in dungeons and fractals with no official post about them). All that makes those drop rates pretty shady stuff…

Dusty Moon.4382 – Ppl will always grind, I do not understand what u mean by “what lvl of reward they wanted.” Its suppose to be same reward after lvl 20 but with bigget chance, so You got me confused here.
Xenon.4537 – Not knowing drop rates is pretty frustrating to everyone that value his time and effort. Second promoting positive energy by hiding actual numbers makes me think something is wrong, if information like that can’t be given, somethign fishy might be going on, like controlled dropping and all sorts of gimmicks.

And again this topic is NOT targeted to ask for increase OF ANY KIND. psl stop commenting on that for no reason.

I am just asking for some numbers, not saying they shouold change something let alone increase.

Can You, and if You can’t then why, give some information about the actual drops rates?
There is a good amount of info from ppl in wiki but nothing is solid, its just observation.
I am not asking for every drop rate, but for the most desirable ones like:
1. Fractals lvl 41-50: we have a chance to get Ascended Ring (non-Infused or Infused), Fractal weapon skin, Ascended chest, Endless Fractal Tonic. So what are the chances for each individual drop.
2. There is the mystic forge drop rates.
3. Tequatl ascended drops – both normal and Tequatl’s Hoard
4. Worm ascended drops – both normal and special armor.
and many more but not as interesting. I keep reading in update logs about how drop rates were improved and everything, but no actual numbers, so its like a floating statement. U could have 0,001% chance, to begin with, then and improve it with 0,001% again, e.g. double it, but at the end of the day its still a 0,00*% and actual improvement does not occur

SOooo any response???? We keep killing jungle worm every day, and there are like 5-10 ppl on each worm with no daily chest ????????

I am sorry, but I just have to ask, how can You (Anet) even consider your current RNG as a working one, when you can have 1 person in the course of 1 year to get 20 precursors, and yet 10 000 ppl to have non. How can there be hundreds of ppl killing Tequatl the Sunless, withouth getting a single ascended chest, and at the same time 1 person, killing Tequatl for 1 month to get 3 of his special skin weapon boxes. How can ppl run Fractals at highest levels on a daily basis only to end up with a Ring at best, and at the same time someone casually doing lvl 20ish to get a skin or ascended weapon just like that…
Puzzels me every time i log in and find stuffs like that.
p.s. I do have a friend with 20 precursors, and a friend who got 3 Tequatl weapons boxes, 2 of wich in 2 weeks, and another 400 in a guild that have nothing of sort… so those are real examples…

What the **** ppl …what is this bug, apperantly known for all and yet not fixed… and what will ppl that get no daily chest for doing what is alleged hard end-game content will recieve for compensation – at best a sorry… thats not fun what so ever… its bad enough u have to do it million times in order to get something, because RNG is so great… 1 person can get drops every time and 100 others get nothing what so ever… and here we are doing worm at daily basics, killing it all 3 heards just so we can get NO CHEST…

after the update, and 180 before… oh wow something else?

After the update I was soo happy that they adjusted the drops…
since then i have 3x lvl 30, 3x lvl 40, 7x lvl 49 and all I get is 4 rings… Are you kidding me? and 2 of the rings were on lvl 30, why is there lvl 49 when there is no kittenin drop???????????????????????????????????????

I got ported into arena, with5 gambits on (e.g.5 lots tikets) with 20 minutes of bird blindness from ogre…

kitten I am dumb.. I thought leggins for chest…

Ooookay, now that makes more sence.. also wiki needs to be fixed. Thanks!
