Guild Wars 2

Sent a 1200 gem code, recieved nothing but oh well.

^Has anyone else experienced this in the past few days? or am I just unlucky.

What happens is that suddenly the game will ‘stop’, like if you lost your internet connection, but the chat works fine and you only get moved to character selection.

Happened to us twice in both ranked and unranked, unfortunately I didn’t remember to do /ip.

Really annoying.. especially considering how the new system works..

I’ve made a transcription of the cover in the video yesterday. It is my first transcription I’ve ever made, so sorry for any mistaskes.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Ever since the new gem-gold interface was released, people have been having oddball amounts of gems that are actually completely worthless. They are too low of an amount to buy anything with, not even coins. I can’t say for sure how ANet feels on this, but the players do see it as a problem. Perhaps not at the top of their lists, but a problem nonetheless.

Edit: Lol I feel like an idiot, misunderstood it. Sorry for being a kitten. :

^I’m curious about how you calculated that. If there is a match with 2 wars vs 3 wars and the 2 wars win did you then put the win % for warrior 40%?

I put the classes we queued up with in the spreadsheet aswell btw.
45 engi, 20 war, 26 thief, 1 guard.

ArenaNet should make an API for data like this so developers like me can make more of this

Please let this happen Anet.

Frenk.5917:

Just to know: OP, what’s your leaderboard rank?

Knowing your rank can help us understand the data better and could let us infer more about players preferences at high-medium-low rank.

Fluctating ~50 most of the time with occasional drops on lose streaks.

Hello all, me and a friend have made a soloQ spreadsheet just for curiosity before the patch, and decided to share our results. Spreadsheet can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZYKxUyy0k13Q64Q6F2fq-cNwNayqK4dKH3NtPhQFy5M/edit?usp=sharing (click this for full details, not everything is included in the summary)

Currently 92 matches in the spreadsheet, if you want to contribute for greater accuracy feel free to PM me with the parameters in the spreadsheet.

To summarize it, we got following results:

Map

[18] 19,57% Spirit Watch
[18] 19,57% Battle of Kyhlo
[17] 18,48% Skyhammer
[16] 17,39% Temple of the Silent Storm
[14] 15,28% Legacy of the Foefire (3 lord kills)
[09] 9,78% Forest of Niflhel

Additional: If we had more matches, this statistic would probably get balanced out full, and I kinda thinks it debunks "skyhammer pops 50% of the time" :P. But what we did notice is that maps tends to have ’streaks’, especially at the end of the spreadsheet where we got 8 kyhlos from 12 matches, or 6 skyhammers from 8, but maybe this was just a coincidence.

Match Duration and queue pop

Average match duration: 606,kitten or 10:06
Average queue pop wait: 139,30s or 2:19

Additional: 1 match ended 500-500 and 1 match ended 501-0 (5v5) One match ended by timer.

5 matches (5,43%) ended 5xx-0xx.

Best queue time for best matches was ~17:00 CET and ~21:00 CET imo.

Pops were pretty random, sometimes you could wait 5 minutes and the next day at the same hour, you could get instapops.

Matches

Blue team wins: [45] 48,913%
Red team wins : [47] 51,087%

Average score blue team: 400,087pts
Average score red team : 405,674pts

Additional: We saw the same patherns in wins as in maps, where one team would get a ’streak’ of wins, and then it would switch, which happened on our spreadsheet but this is probably a coincidence aswell.

Xv5’s

4v5s: [10] 10,87%
4v5s*: [14] 15,22%

*The second 4v5 section is including matches where a player or more went AFK to early in the game, more details in spreadsheet. The first 4v5 is matches with 50% player absence or more.

Professions

[159] 19,70% Engineer
[130] 16,11% Elementalist
[114] 14,13% Warrior
[099] 12,27% Thief
[087] 10,78% Guardian
[076] 9,42% Mesmer
[071] 8,80% Necromancer
[071] 8,80% Ranger

Amount of 3 stacked teams: 34
Amount of 4 stacked teams: 4

Bonus: The triple engi teams won 60% (9/15) of the matches. (Not counting triple engi vs triple engi matches).

Those numbers are NOT including us, so this is the distribution of classes for the other 9 players in the match.

--

There may still be added more matches to the spreadsheet over the coming days to increase accuracy. I will also maybe make one for soloQ’ing in the new system after the patch for comparison.

I know that this spreadsheet has one constant factor: us. Which makes it unable to reflect the 100% reality.

Edit: Disable Textile seems to do nothing >_>

Rank =/= skill

The matchmaking system is using anets modified version (afaik) of http://www.glicko.net/glicko/glicko2.pdf which works excellent imo. The only problem with it is lack of population but thats another thing…

There should be an option when you click on the cog in your chat box saying “Show German only”, tick that off and you’ll see chat from all clients (French and Spanish clients included).

^Ahh.. makes a lot more sense, thx for clarifying.. hace a nice day!

Thought I could understand english decent.. but then I met this thread.

ShiningMassXAcc.4735:

Any recommendations on live map sites that have these 3 three features? I know millennium only has RI timers.s

You can see more info than RI timers on mos, just click on the objective and you’ll be able to see owned for, claimed for and by [XX] <guild name>.

But if you prefer to use another site than mos anyway, then I’d suggest http://gw2score.com/. You can see RI timer, time owned, guild who claimed, and even how many times each server have flipped the objective, longest hold and other things.

Did you or someone from the same server start the instance?

You will get the WvW buffs if the instance is created on your home server.
You will not get the WvW buffs if the instance is created on another server.

An example could be player A and B is from server 1, CDE is from server 2. If player C opens the instance, CDE will get the buffs while AB won’t, if A opens the instance AB will get the buffs, CDE won’t.

A quick way to check is to press b, if you can’t see the score board you won’t get WvW buffs.

Gruulwraith.4278:

Does anybody know if there will be another Drakkar vs Surmia Matchup last week if points are equal or will there be two 1st places and 1 third or will points made in the matchup count?

It’s confirmed a tie will be two winners, so i don’t think they will change matchup schedule.

If there is a tie, each server will be awarded the rewards for that place. e.g. if NSP and IoJ tie for 8th each will receive 8th place rewards.

L Step.8659:

Really thought RoS would put up more of a challenge so far. They steam rolled us last week, and they beat dz by like 50k. Ah well, selfishly cheering for Drakkar I guess.

Just wanted to point out some irony though: RoS whining about blobbing even though all I saw last week were guilds running together to make 50 man groups (KISS/NP come to mind) and I also thought it was funny we saw the LOOT “spy” on our bl last week and they found a DL one. Our kitten tier getting serious yo.

Perhaps the poster of the so called spy from last week should target the person to see the actual guild name.

EDIT: Might aswell just rename the thread RoF vs RoS forum wars take 2 xD

Couldn’t find any thread so here we go.

Have been looking forward to this week, looks promising so far!
Gl and have fun everyone, keep it clean.

…Or maybe I’m wrong, WSR will take it all. :P

aspirine.6852:

Classy Ros, taking fow keeps and stuff with 50+ people. Nice going against one of the weakest servers. I bet you are proud of your bandwagon server now huh.

[Sarcasm] Yeah indeed, it was definately intended that we blobbed up and attacked the only keep left on the map. That was very wrong of us, and we or other guilds should just sit and do nothing. [/Sarcasm]

Sounds like you got hit by perplexity runes. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_Perplexity
There’s a big discussion here

Gems was never inteded to favour gold —> gems converision afaik, you should be happy the option even exists.

Don’t forget 800 gems will always be worth 10€/$

Couldn’t see any thread so here we go, gl and hf everyone, keep it clean.

Ayrilana.1396:

Is the server they are on the home server for you? You do not get the option to join a group who are on the main map of a server that is not your home server. Instead you will have to zone in and out until you get in.

It was the original server, but several of my guildies got in this way.

Tried to join a big push today, but I couldn’t get the join in function working. Other people in my guild who joined the same party could join. Tried to restart game and rejoin party, still didn’t get the option. :/

Anyone having same problem/maybe a possible solution?

In the last few days I’ve been bothering with alot of chrash reports, before patch I usually got an occasional one ~once a month, now I get them several times daily.

It usually triggers when:
Changing graphics
Typing in chat
Opening a tab (guild, WvW scoreboard etc)
Opening bags (Ie lootbags, champion boxes etc)

Sometimes it just triggers randomly, like while running or pressing a skill.

During chrash my game freeze for 1-2s then continue 1s then kicks me out with a chrash report.

Does anyone else have this problem? (And maybe a possible solution)

You can counter these rocks by running close to it and trigger the jump, then go out of knockback range, then jump over quick. You can also dodge the knockback if there’s space for it.

Same here, I hope they can get the servers up before WvW reset. :/

I think that OP’s problem is that the sigil is stacked even while not wielding the weapon and not weaponswap. Ie this can make it possible to have 1x +5% dmg 1x +3 stacks might on weapon swap and 25 stacks bloodlust on both weapon sets.

Very nice fights in FoW bl this evening, ty to SWAT for running outsite the blob.

Very fun evening yesterday. I’m very curios what happened at Bay though, you all jumped out to kill our countertreb behind you… did you plan to leave Bay anyway? xD

fab.3298:

Are there many lootbags to be had in the early hours? Because if you look at the prime-time PPT it looks like you’re the ones getting converted in to loot. At least you have a healthy morning PVD team though!

http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/7/

Are there many lootbags to be had in the midday/afternoon hours? Because if you look at the midday/afternoon points it looks like you’re the ones getting converted in to loot. At least you have a healthy night PVD team though!
http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/18/

As you can see, it is easy to send such post to another server – so is sending it back. Could you please go back to your own thread? I’m sure you know yourself ticking low doesn’t mean you’re getting converted to lootbags. Btw I’m very curios what ‘primetime’ is for you, what I see is you’re ticking ~135 20:00-22:00 CET while your points peak at 0:00-3:00 CET, lol.

PS: Nice attempt hiding your signature!

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

and in fact we set the new server score record while doing it.

Just a little heads up from Elnor (Ilesyt).

Khisanth.2948:

Using which kit?

Master salvagekit

Just got a charged lodestone from one of those aswell, so lodestones are possible.
EDIT: Nvm, didn’t saw “lodestones” in title.

Ty BT [WvW] guild for the “PUG vs Guild” fights tonight, even though we got wiped all the times, it was very fun to see how FoW would do in such kind of fight.

PS: We didn’t dare go close to the tower, 3 ballistas + AC’s + Cannons isn’t very fair. xD When we finally tried to take them down, we lost alot of people, lol.

Fun day today, interesting how BT keeps still is unscouted?
Anyway, was pretty fun to paint eb blue.

Sin.4130:

We just defended our keep with 5 ppl you got 7 golems, 30 ppl…

If you talk about the flipping keeps in your bl then I can say we only had 2 golems, which is more than enough time to react. You even had wp to see it was contested!

Was very enjoyable to command FoW today, had some good fights with BTthis evening in eb, let’s keep the good fights up.

PS: Was a bit sad to cap all your keeps without a defender.

It’s a shame to see you leave T3 keeps unguarded BT.
Anyway, had some great fights in EB today, enjoying my visit to FoW so far.

Do you except to get a 500-600g item with ~200g spent? I would rather say you have been lucky if you got one in ‘just’ 200g attemtps.

You may have heard this before but, you gambled you lost.
PS: Would you smack your head into a brick if someone won in lotto while you didn’t?

It isn’t really just GH, it is the fact that on the MS map there is only green, on the GH map there is only red with occasionally camps flipping, and on eb it is split almost 50/50 between red and green, while our bl is almost totally green. MS is not attacking GH and GH is not attacking MS. Fair matchup? NOT!
(I know this is not true since you actually attacked each other aswell as we do, this is just to show how dumb it sounds.)

Srsly please stop QQ, maybe you didn’t played in the weekend? Also, MS actually flipped towers in our corner aswell as we did, so please get the facts right.

PS colours means nothing now, due to the new system lol, maybe Dzagonur and FR should focus WSR because they’re green?

Steelo.4597:

if millers was dangerous in morning they wouldnt sit on their boderland and let you cap ours without doing anything whatsoever, they would either push our bl aswell or push yours…

Actually Miller’s did something this morning, maybe you didn’t notice your eb corner was painted green? :p

Also this: (saturday—> sunday)

Very unexcepted reset, let’s have fun and keep it clean.

Looking forward to see YOU in the guild.
