Guild Wars 2

Ugh. Guess i’m done here then.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You may have reached the Daily Achievement cap. If you add up your Daily and Monthly Achievement points and the total is 15,000, you have, indeed, reached the cap.

Good luck.

How can i see my daily & monthly AP’s seperately from other APs?

I haven’t been getting my 10 daily APs for completing the daily achievements for several days now. As completing the Radiant & Hellfire armor sets is pretty much the only reason I still log in every day, this is seriously blocking my progress. I don’t own HoT and have no intention of buying it, so i can’t get AP’s from the newer content.
I need a fix ASAP.

Is your presence status set to invisible?

lol “beta” in a live environment. gg anet.

Kylden Ar.3724:

In seasons 1 and 2, I was able to get to early Sapphire, which is about where I expected to be with my skill. I didn’t really try to get higher because I have no desire to be ‘pro’, I have 2 jobs and a family.

This season, they started me at Emerald. I thought, “Ok, so I can get to sapphire quicker and get out of the way for better people and people more willing to grind.” I was optimistic.

Then I started playing.

It has been utter hell. No teams I get paired with understand even basic rotations. 2 or 3 will go home for their daily point cap. They will enter 4v1 single file at mid.

I just want ANet to tell us, honestly, if the goal this season was to get all semi-casual PvPers to quit in the name of eSports. Cause this is stupid.

This is my exact experience last season. I quit playing after 1 very frustrating week.
This season, I played 2 matches at the start of the season to see if there was any change, didn’t find any, and haven’t played since.

bLind.6278:

…

It’s like you’ve never played competitive games before, at all.

I said this last season and as effectively nothing has changed since then i’ll say it again.
It’s like this Evan guy doesn’t even play his own game.

Dyze.1580:

I don’t see much of a difference.. it’s still stacked heavily towards one team before the match even starts.. it’s just the same as last season.

This is my experience too. I won’t be playing again this season.

..would be nice to get a fix for this… oh wait its not a gemstore item :/

+1. Text in the daily description is updated to ”Capture 1 ruin or shrine in any of the wvw borderlands” but the achieve itself is bugged.

Evan Lesh.3295:

Getting ‘stuck’ in ruby is a very important topic regarding how best league should operate. We changed matchmaking to make the ladder more prestigious and so far it has done that. Divisions are aligning with skill level much better than season 1. The product of this change is that the bulk of players who hover around the middle of the mmr curve should stay in sapphire and ruby. Win rate will level out at 50% because there are plentiful players of similar mmr in the same division.

Should average players be able to climb out of the middle divisions by grinding? This removes prestige and can make matchmaking worse within a division, but always allows a sense of progression.

Should average players stay in the middle divisions because that’s where they belong at their skill level? This retains prestige and only improving skill will allow climbing, but rewards and progression stop at some point through the season.

Is there an incentive that could be added to league games for players who have reached their appropriate division and can no longer climb?

It’s like this Evan guy doesn’t even play his own game.

Evan Lesh.3295:

This is a great topic and I’d like to hear what other ideas people have that could incentive league play in a system where division matches skill level.

Best incentive to actually play leagues would be a matchmaking system that works instead of the ridiculously broken POS that is currently in place. Except it’s probably too late for that now.

I love how there’s a giant patch today and there is NOT. ONE. SINGLE. BYTE. of it that has anything to do with pvp.

/edit: I lie; they removed the “average queue time” notification from pvp. Guess they didn’t want ppl noticing longer queue times due to smaller playerbase.

BrotherBelial.3094:

…

Queue times have increased alot too. 2 days ago it was about 30.seconds to have a match start, now it’s between 5-10 minutes, and that’s for soloQ. Some times of day are better than others, but there are definitely less people playing ranked now. And this is after a week. How is it going to look by April?

1 week into this season HotM is currently sparsely populated at best, compared to season start. I myself have just stopped playing pvp because it just isn’t fun, and I know of numerous guildies across various guilds that have done the same.
Me, i’m not coming back this season, as the current necro stacking meta combined with an extremely broken matchmaking system has no forseeable potential for fun matches at all.

cosmicegg.8502:

…
WHY CANT YOU GUYS MAKE SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS RIGHT! You guys are like the government.

..this made me lol

Jaxom.7310:

because they said a full team of 5 would never face a full soloq. you had a pair in your team, making this matchup A-OK

lol this ^. Matchmaking so gud.

rummy.4102:

Reaper Alim.4176:

Honestly at this point if people are so angry then they should simply stop being fodder for the players the system deems worthy of getting a free pass thru the lower divisions, instead of having to fight their way through like most. A system like this where there are little to no participation from the abused party usually falls in on it self, more so if the party being abused is the majority of the population.

Be interesting to see what the players who are telling the less fortunate players to stop crying or leave would do when they get hit be 20 to 30 min queues in amber S3. Oh wait Anet would probable just put them into higher divisions at start of S3. #Competitiveness, the kind of competition where everything is handed to you.

I stopped playing in emerald the first day

Yeah I quit last night having hit t2 of emerald, it isn’t worth fighting it anymore. Good luck to all the many pro’s we have here. I’ll spend my 2 hrs a night farming mats and play the trading post stock market for fun.

+1 here. I have limited time to play and i’m not going to waste it on the mess that pvp is right now.

Astralporing.1957:

Arvin.3124:

Amber is going to be different because everyone from the worst to semi-decent players to very good players moving up the ranks is in it. Once you move out of Amber it does get better.

It doesn’t.

this.

Evan Lesh.3295:

Forfeits (not losing pips when teammates desert) are currently disabled while we fix the dishonor false positives. There will be more info on this later.

..as in, after leagues. Like the balance patch. gg.

52 losses is kinda extreme,but i’ve been consistently getting a single win followed by 5-7 losses for the last 3 days now. Matchmaking is extremely broken atm.

First 2 pages of the pvp subforum are currently devoid of any dev response, even though they’re filled with legitimate complaints. Anet is so involved with their playerbase.

+1 here, 1-man guild, mostly used as a bank guild but I currently see no options whatsoever to progress.
Add to that the fact that I can’t contribute to my other, larger guilds’ progression as everything required for that also requires buying HoT (which I haven’t done as I don’t think it’s worth the money for what you get) and i’m thinking I may be done with gw2.

What you wrote make no sense. one man and you want your guild to progress? what?

What’s hard to understand? I’m a 1-man guild but I still want to be able to make banners & guild seige, run bounty training, claim wvw objectives etc.

+1, the top right clutter gets pretty annoying.

Objectives can’t be capped right now. The npc can be killed and the circle will change color but the new npc won’t spawn.

Having this issue too since about 8 hours ago with 1 toon. I tried to exit from the pvp lobby back to Lions Arch but I get stuck on the LA loading screen and eventually get the popup with the error you mention. I’ve run chkdsk twice with no errors found.

Third time today I got into a good server at least half an hour before Tequatl, then between 3 minutes before and 2 minutes after it starts I get DC’ed.
How about anet get some decent servers for a change because this crap has been going on in some form or other since the LS season 2 started. Seriously starting to annoy me to a level that i’m starting to give up on GW2 altogether.

And no it’s not my connection or computer as I never have issues with other games.

Someone forgot to feed the hamsters.

FA, 2nd place achievement but no chest.

Malevil.2104:

We need recipies to create silk and other tiers of cloth materials. I drown in bloodstone dust but i have hard time to get silk and linen ? Seriously …
Recipies for mystic toilet to convert bloodstone dust to other ’ common’ materials would give some real use for it and would help to stabilize market when some crazy imbalances occurs.

This. I have around 30 stacks of Empyreal Fragments clogging up my inventory that i currently have NO use for at all. At least the nightmare tower patch gave us the toxic consumables to spend the Bloodstone dust on, i´m still waiting on a good use for the Empyreal junk.

This thread is so boring compared to the SBI/EB/YB one.

BP if you’re so good at non-zerg fighting how come so many of you keep running back into guard range when you get to low health in a 1v1? Srsly, stop it already.

Tyrion gets high off waypoints. You had one.

Enjoy zerg-blobbing a slightly emptier map JQ, i’m pretty much done for the week.

Yawn. Lame matchup is lame.

I’m having the same issue. Going to try in Divinity’s Reach, thanks for the tip

Edit: Divinity’s Reach didn’t work for me so I tried going to The Grove, my toon’s native city, which let me rep and access the guild bank.

That would require Mag to actually be a factor and from what i’ve seen they’re just being annoyingly opportunistic all-round. I was just wondering if i missed a dolyak parade or some kitten.

Just wondering, any particular reason DB seems to be mostly leaving Mag BL alone and concentrating on FA BL?

Jski.6180:

FA really drooped the ball this week and last week i guess as a server we want wvw to die.

You sound like chicken little yelling the sky is falling, we’re missing a little coverage….nothing more

The fear is that what coverage we have during thoughts times will give up then we will have only NA prime time and that it. We where doing ok for the first few weeks up vs these 2 teams but for the last 3 to 2 weeks we have been doing poorly even during our prime times. What happen?

What happened is the other 2 servers in the matchup got a buttload of transfers and we didn’t, basically putting us back in the same position of always being hugely outmanned everywhere that we were in way back when in tier 3.

lani.7431:

…
Edit: since when is F. A. a swear word?

It’s the combination of the abbreviation for Fort Aspenwood and the “got” that follows it

I guess we’re seeing both DB’s and TC’s full forces post-transfers now.. oh well a sort-of balanced tier 2 was fun while it lasted.

Kain Francois.4328:

@Unfortunately.5940: We could already exchange weapons for badges. Except they attached a completely unnecessary gold cost to it which makes it cost inefficient and redundant…

I meant unique ascended gear, for instance ascended weapons or armor, that would only be available from the wvw vendor for badges (+ gold/ecto/laurels I guess). Like how doing Fractals was the only option for getting ascended rings initially.

Rising Dusk.2408:

Will we be able to get all ascended items with this update in WvW? That means back items, rings, accessories, and amulets? Furthermore, will we be getting any new pieces of ascended gear with this? Weapons? Armor?
…

I would also like to know this. I’ve had ample time to get ascended rings, amulets and backpieces for the 2 toons I play in wvw, the only currently available pieces I still need are the accessories… which, I gather, aren’t coming to the wvw vendor. Also, adding some ascended pieces that can only be bought for badges (weapons, armor) would give pve-ers some incentive to go to wvw.

Fuzzion.2504:

DB needs to buck up or they will fall back to T3.

Noone is going anywhere anytime soon.

I just wanted to add that, as a european who’s been playing on Fort Aspenwood since launch, lag is not an issue. No more than it is for NA players, at least.

Can we lose the Q/A format for the next matchup thread please. It makes the thread annoying to read and there’s no point to it if the A part doesn’t get updated.

FA is getting kitten by this pretty hard this matchup. It´s impossible to defend anything with random DCs and crazy lag.
2 days in and still no response or fix from anet.

FA borderland is so broken right now I can´t even defend without DCing every 5 minutes.

Like Eva said FA BL has been chain DCing people since reset.. and personally I’m not really interested in playing ACwars.

Snowreap.5174:

so basically a fifth WvW map with no objectives (and therefore no reason to go there unless you just want to fight for the fun of it)? this doesn’t sound technically difficult.

lol, you could put the entry portals to this new map behind the windmills on each of the three borderlands maps (so as to avoid cluttering up the spawn point with portals that most players won’t care about).

-ken

This actually sounds like a really simple & elegant solution.
