Guild Wars 2

A nice trophy would be a statue of the playercharacter that won it! (No idea how to earn it or how difficult it should be – but that would be great for bragging)

Could even be made out of different materials, copper, iron, silver, gold, ice, magmar, christalls etc

(And a ’easy’one out of stone, everyone can get, but it’s not compleatly finished, threfore half of the statue is still inside a big rock)

While we are at it, for next season’s llama, could you add some different hats (something like caaaaarl the llama wears)

This thread is so useless.

If you have “bad” stacked classes, then one of you should be switching if you really want to win. If a class is stacked because it’s too good, then it needs nerfed. There is no need to restrict class stacking.

LOL. This is the stupidest thing I have ever read.

Yea I can switch. How bout the other 2 people on the team if They don’t want to?

1.) Not everyone WANTS to switch.

2.) Not everyone WANTS to communicate either.

3.) Not Everyone MULTICLASSES

4.) What if they don’t wanna switch? So do I deserve to lose because of other people not wanting to switch?

5.) If there are 2 or more classes Stacked. We HAVE NO WAY to tell What are they running. UNLESS THEY communicate, what if they Don’t?

6.) If A class is STACKED then it needs to NERFED? LOL. What if they are running 2 different builds?

So much BS on your post man.

He is totally right though. Why does it actually bother you if you have duplicate classes? Like he said, balance is the problem, the DH stacking is getting out of hand because of it’s low reward play, and most people get annoyed like hell after running into dozens of traps on a small node.

Anet gives you the opportunity to solve this, but people ’don’t want to switch’. Then play and win the game as it is.

Most of your arguments don’t even make sense to be honest. You are talking like stacking a class in a team means instant loss for you. Sorry to say but it’s still roughly 90% skill and 10% team composition, there are only a very few cases where this doesnt apply (e.g. 5 thieves vs 5 DH-s, how many times you see that).

You want to get rid of class stacking, at the same time you also want to separate them by build? Because simple class stacking wouldn’t solve your ‘problem’.

People like blaming losses and everything on team compositions, then you would have the same team compositions again and again and you would be still totally steamrolled (and the other way around) every now and then.

Personally I find it absolutely diverse when you have to play against weird compositions, it makes you adapt your gameplay every time. Would be ridiculously boring to play against almost the same compositions every time.

And people talking about adding class stack restrictions and removing in prep time switching imagine the amount of tears after you still get bad setups with that and you have absolutely no chance to switch

PS: One thing I’m totally in for, change those class dailies. In my ranked tiers, it’s not a problem at all, but I can imagine it being terrible for lower tiers, and much more in unranked (as I’ve seen it every now and then)

Low division here, i hate it when mesmer becomes daily (and i main mesmer) because then there are teams of 2-4 mesmer per team and the bad part, 90% don’t know how to play mesmer (otherwise it would be fine)

But this happens only if there is no low-skill-cap class daily

Class stacking is out of control! Just look at that! 3 Eles, 3 Mesmer and 4 Thief?

An improvised glider (similar to the improvised weapon skins) made of corrugarted metall, a door, or other scrap (asymetrical wings would be great)

That would mean, the salty ones will report someone for ‘bad skill’ at the end of every lost game, no matter how close…

And the good players will most likely not care and just move on to the next game – this results that the bad players vote against the average & good players out of their team….

Great idea, i like it

Oh and some people make 1vs1 turnaments on private servers , i am sure those love fair fights

There is a reason most mesmers use blink/portal instead of a damage trait – because a wise warrior doesn’t fight, he captures points!

(Go play colloseum, there it is more about fighting)

Something sylvari themed! (Nightmare court as red and the pale tree as blue)

He was corupted by mordremoth, and his last presence started to sprout in that sylvari – maybe they just tought butting this plant in the ground seems like a bad idea…

Rokkis.8901:

Yeh the off hours probably are part of the reason why this does happen.

What are by the way considered the general peak/off hours in PvP and what timezone? I play at NA server and live in Europe so I’m having a hard time getting my head around that. Besides isn’t there like…5 hours apart from east to west coast?

Simple, remember the times of your win streaks and when a lose streak starts – go PvE watch a film clean the dishes etc

If you want to be a bunker, chose a bunker build, or if you have a real reason;

1. Explain the issue (including the rank you saw that, bronce i assume?)
2. Give possible solutions
3. Explain how those solutions should work and how they would change the game
4. Say the risks this fix could create (in this case, how a bunker build would be compared to a glass canon)

Sometimes win/los streaks happen because of the time (low player population gives odd matchups)

But if this happens around prime time, it seems the system works as supposed

Repeat the same reward track firever and get 250 stacks of all boxes

Great that you finnaly understand that you are not as good as you think – if my 3 other teammates would realize the same, i could finnaly move up to the rank i deserve!

If i see 3 rangers, i am defendly picking something that can reflect

But if class stacking is solved, it will become more difficult picking a counter class

3. “Invisible Chest” – like the invisible boots, but for gems.

Make it a compleat invisible clothes set! (Including stuff that can be hidden) and make it expensive (gold, gems, makes no difference)

And in case it becomes a great gold sink, add a title “Emperor” with the achiefment name “Emperors new clothes” (and give an invissible backpiece as achiefment reward)

Alas, they cannot do that. Well, they could, but it would be confusing since you can already get the “Emperor” title for buying enough cultural armor. How about “Invisible” as the title instead? Or “Clearly Fashionable” perhaps? (I am not for or against your base idea, but wanted to point out the title conflict).

Mistake on my part (play on german and therefore aren’t conform with all translated titles) but i am sure there is some title avaible in that fashion

Mesmer because of the portals! Walk there, portal back, want to go up? Blink trubthe floor in case there is a way you could walk

Bashi.8902:

Did anyone ever brought it up before?

No

Bashi.8902:

I think making a poll for this would be a great idea…

You know what happend after the last poll? Solo/duo q – that include class stacking… you are sure you want a poll?

Priest Tully.3798:

Thanks for the replies! So if I really want to climb higher I just need to carry my team and pray they do the same and are not bad! I hope that works.

Specially in games you are ‘supposed’ to lose (but since you can’t know that before a game starts…)

Go in an open DS map, watch an anime/TV – after 20-30 min start collecting the pods (they already spawned) now watch the next series, now go to the final fight

Sylvari are plant zombys – their bodys are based on human corpses, some facial skins show this and their mordrem cousins show it as well – you can’t be more necromanth as a sylvari!

Ask thraherne!

Place the seed of the pale tree in orr….

Today i talked with a guild member that made herself a female charr and complained that all female charr have a white tail tip

This made me wonder, is this sexual dimorphism? Do male charr favour white tail tips like asura favour big ears and humans favour big mammalian glands? Resulting in an peakitten* like evolution with that feature?

*Edit: could a-net make an mix between Pavo muticus and a kitten for the creation of peakitten?

Easy solution, player death counts as points – maybe just 5 points like they always do – or even more! That way people could still win by defending Lord

Eg player death 5 points, after the first door’s broken 10 points and after the last door is broken 20 points (the deaths of the team who broke the doors)

In that case a team could win, just by defending Lord (collect points) and not attacking the enemy door (give enemy way less points for their own deaths)

I used my bobble head and someones Aviator’s Memory Box, multiple times in a row until a bug apeared, the colors where odd, way brighter as normal (see screenshor)

My guess, a color out of the bobble head-drinking animation stuck in the pilot memory

Could you make that into a new item? (don’t know, a comic book, markers, a big mushroom, – i don’t care, i love those colors!!!!)

Evan Lesh.3295:

10 players are collected before making teams.
You are looking at ratings after the match which are going to be further apart than the ratings that were used to make the match.

The two duo queues on one team is annoying, and something could be done to improve that.

And as always (though slightly out of date) the matchmaking process has been documented here:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Matchmaking_Algorithm

Oh and when it starts with 10 players and makes teams later… could you divide professions equally?

(There where many matches when we (enemy and my team) wanted to exchange eg one duo thief for eg one duo warrior – because the other team had none)

Evan, could you add an average mmr of both teams at the end (mmr before the game) paradoxical, this should protect the individual mmr (like you can see in here) and help people understand

No, but next season you can get the next set

Orangensaft.7139:

Im pretty sure most PvPers have explored Heart of the Mist to the last corner in all the time they had to spent there while queuing^^

Did you find the room with the 2 Skeletons in Hotm yet?

There is an ocean under every map btw, not just Hotm
And whenever you see water in a map that is just the map ground leading under the waterlevel

Do you know about voidjump? Or was this your first time reaching the water under a map?
In general if you are interested in more ways to explore all the existing Maps i could show you some techniques and a few examples to get out of the normal borders of Maps in order to reach places for nice views / screenshots

No, i heard rumors there should be 2 hidden skelettons, but i couldn’t find them…

If every day is a holiday, there isn’t much special, that means A-net won’t make us as excited anymore and therefore won’t make as much sales during the holidays…

But you cann always celebrate meatoberfest with the charr – always!

Stand on the (not working) asura portal there for the best view

maddoctor.2738:

Rock is overpowered, please nerf Rock. Paper is fine.

Yours, scissors.

Why aren’t people making those (picture) for every season with the actuall class-balances?

If you make any achiefments for any map, pleas do the unpinning thing as well, and thank you! Very much! Unranked became an alternative again

Ben Phongluangtham.1065:

Shaogin.2679:

I’ll try investigating this more, but from what I undestand your decayed rating doesn’t determine who you are matched against. So in theory, when you came back you were still playing against gold players. Your decayed rating only affects your leader board position and nothing else.

This is correct. Decay does not affect your matchmaking. With our current decay settings, you can work off your decay in 7 games.

Wait, that means;
1) a correct placed player will have a match making with 50/50 win rate
2) decay reduces the division
3) but you gain it back when you win all games, in the previous division you had a 50/50 win rate
D) something here seems odd

Revolutionen.5693:

Obviously wouldn’t work since that’d be a way to pick your own team. People would just block bad players and win automatically. Also stop raging and PMing players that they’re bad. It won’t make anything better

No, i would block good players and get easy opponents!

Play a week PvE and decay will be your friend, lose the decay-restoring first matches and you will be in bronce

Makes sense, seems like it was the right place to ask here, thx könig des todes

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i don#t know where else;

Why do asura/Trixx produce as dangerous ‘Toys’ in the first place? Was there any plan using those guny on the toys or… just put guns on toys and give them away to human children?

Motivation is a main source for great fights, therefore here are somel ideas; (it would ve great if a higher division agrees/disagrees, since i am just bronce)

Showing the mmr we could win/lose before the match start, that way we know * oh, it’s a stronger team – but i gain 3x the mmr i would normaly get! Let’s do this!*

Close matches give/lose less points – that way you fight until the last second! (If we get 100 point more i won’t lose as much mmr! Let’s do this!)

(If both would be accepted, the first idea would show the points possible at 500:0 & 500:450 and we could assume everything inbetween)

More points we gain and lose! This will produce faster movement for those missplaced ones, those who suffered from decay and give everyone else the illusion they could move up (like me)
Because when i calculate how much win’s i would need to move up (no loses included) the number of games is as high that i don’t even try – it’s like gambling, the illusion should suggest big prices! (And as long as the pips i can lose are proportional – i won’t move at a 50/50 win ratio)

Decay should assume the average lost game per day (works only if loses matter more, see above) and work on a daily basis (ticks after 3 days and starts with 3 at once) that way dacay would feel like a lost game and nothing that’s supposed forcing us to play

Those ideas only matter if the admins see a decaying number of players per day

I ahree, the first sistem of season one was good – the only complain back there was – nobody knows why we lost/won pips

Then they said they make it more transparent, and they did – saddly they made it more transparent by using a different rating system…

Frenk.5917:

Emdrix.6124:

- matchmaking is still broken, 5 random pugs solo Qing going vs double pro league Duo and still losing -20 , or getting 1600 MMR players in my game when I was1850+ makes no sense, fast Q times make matchmaking a lot worse

Population of the game is not high enough. With such a small sample size this is bound to happen no matter what.

The double duo could be split in both teams….

But HoT traits need to be requured!

Show an average of both teams – shows enough for the player and protects the individual score

Rhiannon.1726:

I’m confused, you wrote “The system that decides how much rating people lose or win: absolutly horrible in my opinion”:

Why is that a problem now? The system is working like in previous seasons with Glicko2. The only difference is that you now see it.
You always won/lost MMR depending on the MMR of you opponents. You just didn’t see it!

It seems you are confusing the pips/divisions (amber-legendary) from previous seasons with MMR divisions. Your are not supposed to rise to legendary if you are not good enough! You can only reach “legendary” MMR if you can compete with the best 50 players.

You also wrote “Throwing all players into one pot: absolutly terrible”:
There was a soft MMR reset, which threw a bigger pool of players together at the beginning. The match making still tries to match players with equally MMR against each other. So I don’t know where you got the idea that all where thrown into one pot.

The problem is simple, you can’t see the average rating of your team and the enemy team.

If people would see “i won, but the other team got a worse rating” they understand why they gained less, but right now we have to guess the rating (or cobtrol it via friend list)

Assuming it is true that losing happens mainly against higher rated teams (if that isn’t the case, yeah we got an other problem in rating win/lost – but we can’t know…)

Crab Fear.1624:

so make all traits available to “PVP only” free of charge. perhaps some devs actually concerned about the PVE game and it’s customer flow… it is a crap PVE game and a knock off of WoW….fix PVE and let all traits be free in PVP, keep all other restrictions the same

Or nerf the HoT traits/buff the normal traits for them to be on an equal level

Gwaihir.1745:

Make traps usable only offpoint (either that or reduce trap damage)

Fairly sure that wont happen.

I know, but just imagine that for a second – on courtyard

Make traps usable only offpoint (either that or reduce trap damage)

Berserkeremir.4631:

you are oviously a arena net boot licker troll. Pvp players cant get anything until this season for 4 years . this is the first time we can get something unique for us. and we cant even finishing it. Any way just go and troll some other topic, after all you have been paid by comunity managers of arena net.

We can’t even finish it? Do you want to stay just one season?
