Guild Wars 2

Thats why Anet should just toss the leader boards out the window. The only thing it does is fuel people’s egos.

Why do people even care about the leader boards it proves nothing about skill. If there are people that want to 5v5 Anet should make a team arena just for them and a leader board just for them.

Then the rest of the Solo’s/casual/new people can Que up something like the WoW style of a battleground. Cause face it half time some matches are good other people just fight off point or do something totally kittened and you lose. So why should 4 solo people be punished by losing points on the leaders boards because of some newbies bad play style.

If theres no Leader Board people have nothing to complain about.

Personal score point’s only benefit is that it adds into your rank points and thus your pvp experience bar (deer, dolyak etc.). People that care about that are usually those that want the reward tracks or they new animal finisher ASAP and fell every little bit helps or hostile player that want to make a competition out of everything rather than help their own team.

Player A in team A: “Ha! I have more capture than you Player B! You suck.”
Player B in team A: “Shut up and help us kitten it!”

Personal score is never used in the new system now established. Leader boards however, the win loss win % and GLICKO 2 MMR score is what matches you against others more than any other factor including your animal rank and level.

To remove the leaderboard system will have to force the devs to make a new system and thus leave pvp unplayable or unusable until a replacement is in place.

Removing the leader board shouldnt force them to make a new one… There has be other mmo’s with PvP style battlegrounds they didnt have leader boards, ex WoW, Daoc,,, Yea WoW had the arena leader boards but those were totally separate from the battlegrounds.

What would be wrong with just Queing up just to kill people, because that is basically what half the casual/new people tend to do anyway.

Anet shouldnt force people to make premade teams, where you are possibly have to commit to certain times for you team. Maybe they should just make an Arena and give people an incentive to form some sort of team that why premades can play with premades

yea i think someone had talked about this before. It is very silly to join rank q to do the daily. Cause all your going to get is 3-4 of the same class on your team more then likely. I did rankq one day and got 3 more rangers another time it was 4 gaurdians

Personal score doesn’t mean anything,, Just like the leader boards. You can’t determine how skillful a player is based on how many games played. Now if they had actual Arenas where you can 2v2,, 3v3 .etc. with an actual team leader board. Then we might be able to determine if it was skillful.

IMO,, get rid of personal score and the Leaderboards where you just grind games for points, cause the only players gaining are the people on premades or one that grind games

I am confused. Please tell me what is wrong with this Sigil setup.

I have:
Long bow with Bloodlust (#1)
Long bow with Fire And Air (#2)
Speargun with Bloodlust (#3)

With #1 and #3 equipped I build my 25 stacks of Bloodlust.
My power on the Hero panel reflects the addition.

I switch #1 for #2 and lose the Bloodlust stacks and Power.

I switch back to #1, but still no Bloodlust stacks.

Why are the stacks not retained since my speargun has Bloodlust, too.
I thought that was the point of swapping out weapons with stacking sigils.
I hope you follow this. Like I said, I am confused.

You need to keep your stacking weapon equipped. Now if your zerg surfing you can keep both your bows on, just use one to make the stack the other to pew pew.

Or you can stack with your bow and swap it with greatsword that has bloodlust on it then you can use your LB with Air+fire. But once you remove a stacking weapon you will lose your stacks.

2nd option. have LB with bloodlust+air,, GS with Bloodlust+air, keep your GS equipped then you can swap to your LB with air+fire

Keep bloodlust on speargun so you dont lose it when you hit the water.

Pre-made or a group of people that have comm chat, builds that compliment each other, and prolly have been practicing longer together then the 5 solo’s….You can kinda see who is going to win.

I like to solo q , i dont have time to be commented to a team that may ask me to be there when i can’t. Solo’s vs Solo that match could go anyway depending how people play, communicate through map chat with pings or just chat.

i run shout regen build 0/0/6/6/2,, with clerics ammy,, rune of water, weapons GS, sw/dagger,, sigil leeching/sigil of purity on both. pets.. river drake and marsh drake.
utilite’s ,, healing spring, protect me,,sic’em,, signet of the wild or renewal…

i can basically sit on a point and 1v1 most ppl for while. you have to use your evades and dodges just right,, timing your regen and healing springs. Leaping through your spring and swapping your pets to blast your spring.

I play to survive as long as possible while sitting on a point and holding it,, i may not kill anyone,, but 1v1 they will have a hard time killing me.

Group wise well everyone loves some form of regen…

Cleric’s is only for bunking right? I mean you’ll never kill anything with it.

Yes it is .. i have killed a few people with chaining my pets breathes and just keeping poison on them and fighting aggressively. It does take awhile depending on the class.

You could switch to valk ammy for a little more power less healing though.
i have played with ptv ammy and celest,, for fun. but the amount of healing power from clerics is too nice. I wouldnt mind having a nomad ammy..

I dont see how you manage a GvG. Do you guys make rules like how many people can be in your fight. Because every time i hear GvG i see this 15 man guild getting steam rolled by 100 man guild in my head. If its GvG then it should be your whole guild versus the other guild,, no other rules.

This is a WvW game take your guild and defend your servers stuff,,

Just a thought,, maybe its been mentioned. WvW is 3 servers fighting each other. Sounds like DaoC. So why do we have 4 wvw maps and Eotm. Each server has a homeland to defend and others to take.

As some people have said they may not have the coverage to play all maps. If by chance you take out eternal battlegrounds and Eotm. Then you will have people to defend home and people to take the other servers stuff.

I find it silly that when im following a commander on our homeland and he gets called to help EB commander, So off goes our little zerg leaving our homeland outmanned for maybe 5-10mins. Which is long enough for someone to take a tower or bay/hills maybe even a stab at garrison.

But mainly my thoughts are,, why do we have the WvW maps the way they are. I would get rid of EB and EotM, get those people into defending your homeland or taking someones.

just my thoughts.

Nuzt.7894:

Honestly PPT is only there to give the illusion of accomplishment, I think if you took PPT away now you would see a decline in participation. For me PPT means next to nothing but for many it is how they gauge their who is the better server, reality is PPT gauges who has the most participation for the week.

DAoC had RR’s and RA’s which gave purpose to a degree, it was the tread mill, some will argue that it was a flawed system. But for most there needs to be a reason other then fighting to participate and the WvW ranks are pretty lack luster.

Just ignore the PPT and have fun, or don’t ignore it and have fun, which ever is your cup of tea.

Right.. PPT is just to see who can cover the maps better, which is a joke . Cause we all know its sucks to see a stacked map late at night and your server can barely cover home.

That would be something,, seeing a warrior climbing a wall in GW2,, but we dont have any ablities yet that would be good for that situtation. Only thing i can think of would be that a group of warriors would climb over to build siege on the inner door.

Maybe if they gave some sort of achievement award/title for people to work on in WvWvW, similar to realm ranks in daoc. prolly not going to happen but maybe some stat buffs for rewards that you use in WvW like power, more hp, something that would make you seem op, but would be ok cause you earned it from killing 1000 players or something.

yea so i removed my thought on that note,

A lot of people should know the game Darkage of Camelot,, to me the real first RvRvR game.

If Guildwars 2 WvWvW world was setup similiar to daoc’s without the PPT

For example.
No more PPT,

This way people can have those GvG or roaming groups, and still contribute by just running by to help defend a keep/tower.

Make Towers and Keeps worth something to the server, so that they would what to hold and defend it. like a gold boost, or some sort of boost.
This would help servers who cant cover all maps, at least they can stay and defend home from invaders with somewhat of a purpose. Because if the Towers an Keeps are worth something of importance, People will feel like they are doing something for their server.

Make keeps and towers harder to take. This would help in gaining more fights, instead of a zerg just blowing through a door. In my opinion a Keep take should be HARD not a golem rush. Maybe just allow only 1 ram,, that would be interesting.

**For giggles make AoE spells hit more the 5 targets…If a group of people are defending a tower from said + numbers, and they are throwing down some sick aoe to keep them from coming in the tower while taking out daring ones that try to make it in. Yea it would suck for 20 people to get taking out that way,, but its no different the getting steamed rolled by a blob.

But these are just my thoughts,, just wanted to share

yea they should do something,, not that its a big deal for me to buy sigils for my weapons. But when just running around in a pve zone and you run into a water to take a 5 sec swim. It is kinda silly

Been pvping the last few months thought i would pve some and just noticed this...I had 25 stacks of precision , entered the water poof gone. Is this a bug? or is this because i kinda technically unequiped that weapon, because of the swap to my underwater weapon.

Stacking bonus
Gain stacks of an effect that grants an attribute bonus; maximum of 25 stacks. On-kill sigils now gain 5 stacks upon killing a player in all areas of the game. You can only have one attribute stacking bonus at a time. The bonus is lost when you are downed, when you travel to a different zone, or when you unequip the weapon.

well that explains it,, thanks

how do sigil proc’s work such as sigil of air and sigil of fire. i have an Axe/Axe war and
to my understanding,,, sigil should proc from its own weapon. i just switched to these sigil’s to goof around. but what im seeing is my main hand weapon is procing both my sigils. I eviscerated someone and seen a flame blast which is on my off-hand weapon.

I know both sigil’s can affect a 2 handed weapon,,,

Can someone inform me please.. thanks

No,,, dbl clicking would be an attempt to use it,

I have 2 Limited-Use Vigil Megalaser Finisher’s. I already have the finisher i dont need these and it wont let me use them…..i know this. I have tried to destroy them, type name in box and the yes button lights up,,, or its suppose to. i have copied an pasted the text “without the brackets” in the box, even left the limited use off. Even asked my guild for help,, this should be an easy thing to destroy, ive destroyed plenty of other items.

Is it a bug or am i missing something

i use pistol/dagger and shortbow. just throw your dagger to cripple and kite away
