Glicko2 not working as intended.

in PvP

Posted by: Xupok Moonheart.9412

Xupok Moonheart.9412

I have played from just about no score to Avenger, unranked and mostly ranked, and I can tell you confindently, Arenanet, this Glicko system is definitely up for a serious review. Between creating new characters and playing the meta builds, on and off, winning close to “0” matches, then logging in with older characters, and having a higher winning ratio, but I don’t need these older characters necesarily to advance my chosen achiements, this is my bad experience.
I sincerely hope the “pairing” algorythm will be replaced with a more competent one, in the hopes of being matched more equally with team mates and opponents.

Yours sincerely,
Mr.Q

PvP PvE discrimination, armor etc..

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Xupok Moonheart.9412

Xupok Moonheart.9412

To this day there is discrimination between PvP and PvE, where as PvP’ers have access to all PvE armor skins, we as PvE’ers don’t have access to all PvP skins.

Anet, please look in to this as we EXPECT all types of players to have access to all types weapons and gear cross border game play style.

Someone mentioned the cost of leveling Sribe will be reduced.. if that is the case I want my money back.
As for WvW, I honestly hope there will be more than just reverting back to snowball maps because that alone is just a cowering attempt to keep members active, but at least a step in the right direction.
PvE loot is atrocious.. no hope for that in my books.
Player weighted rewards from zommoros and some other areas favor the bot farmers, shame, huge shame on that, total game failure.
PvP is rubbish with the current system in place.
Can only hope for some light at the end of this tunnel as myself and many of my friends want to continue our run in Guild Wars 2 and beyond as we have since beta GW1.
Lack of information for future releases surely puts a dampener on enthusiasm at the present moment.

Unplayable Solo

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Xupok Moonheart.9412

Xupok Moonheart.9412

Returning long time player for over 10 years, for the love of the game there is no comparison nor continuity throughout the game. Perhaps certain PvE story lines, but that is about it. HoT is inplayable to a large extent to me as a solo player, all my 4 x private guilds have been crushed and I can not use/profit from strategic decisions or game play style as it has been removed completely from the game, PvP is a joke with the new profession skills making it a latency contest rather than skill contest. PvE rewards mean near to nothing in the greater scheme of things… What has this game come to. I demand change, or revolt. Anet will not see my 8k+ gem purchase per month if things continue like this.

Black Desert - Anet's Comeback

Black Desert Online, restricted to regions as licensed by Pearl Abyss will not as in fact you think OP, make any difference to Guild Wars 2’s player base. The sheer impudence that a Korean gaming license forces freedom of play is not just denying basic new age internet rights for freedom but also touches on racism based on their licensed regions.
Make up your own free mind, BDO will not have my support ever.

Remove the 15k daily AP limit please!

My humble opinion.. The devs are not interested in AP pumping you or anyone to 100k, even though most would falsely follow that guideline as some sort of right, or show of deity progression in the game to their friends, where in fact it means little to nothing but to reward for dedication in the form of time. You can P2W mostly towards those rewards now-a-days, dont stress it, just business.

This is what i feared for Guild Halls

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Xupok Moonheart.9412

Xupok Moonheart.9412

It is an invasion.. or rather a positively negative restriction ArenaNet has forced on us based on their idea of what Guild actually means as with many other ‘ideas’ in the game.
One very exemplary example is Guild Catapults.. no more privately crafted in your guild, anyone with permission can build it and use it once you spent countless days grinding and leveling Scribe to be able to build them.
Just a big F.U as far as I am concerned.

Good luck with this ‘new’ hybrid game.

Why I think HoT failed

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Xupok Moonheart.9412

Xupok Moonheart.9412

I have tried to stick it out in HoT, character after character, race after race, seriously trying to find the fun in the game, but in the end just doing what is needed, as I struggled with my inner feelings and combating the sensations that others will not easily abandon new content.. I was utterly disappointed to find, after only a few months play, the zones to be dead in my EU world server.. constantly receiving message to change maps to only find it popping up again after less than 5min in the ‘more populated’ map.. One has to critically wonder about the design idea, although true in nature and grand on paper, most people just wont play or look for pug groups.
Countless times I have heard good friends go completely crazy on TS, even helping them, outside of story-mode did not have the desired effect and those in the guild who already completed their Achievement points in the areas are not much interested to run through grinding content unless they are completely bored or have no other achi’s to hunt. Sadly I really feel ArenaNet will abnegate any major changes to accommodate the community at large and change the mechanics of current state of the game as it seems the original plan to back Guilds and community play is here to stay, although I try to believe myself wrong on this matter nothing seems clear if any PvE group based focused content will get any easier. Pity for solo/semi-solo players like myself but hey, there are many more things to do, until all achievements are done at least.
We can only hope.

Exchanging Influence -> Aetherium not working

Xupok Moonheart.9412

This is utter bullkitten. Either you, Arena Net, employ capable people of doing their jobs and taking the community development seriously, or you refund our kittening money because this is like a slap in the face if you ask me. Educated well mannered people spend too much time on this rubbish game that you have made now to even tolerate ANY more mistakes. Sort your kitten out or loose my 10k’s of gem purchases along with many others.

Like or Dislike new WvW Bordelands

Too much of a learning curve if you ask me. This new BL maps.. if EOTM wear light armor, this is EOTM with heavy armor. I dislike them with first impressions, reminds me too much about PvE with silly gimmicks.

outnumbered in WvW

Xupok Moonheart.9412

Either intended or unintended, the net result is people jump to other areas of the game aka pve/pvp when WvWvW is a mess on their server due to population imbalance. Vice-versa, when your server facerolls the competition, you might discover many new faces running around WvW, and so too does the up-scaled characters make an appearance.
For all intents and purposes, this is a feature, not a bug.

Calling for a lagfree WvW

Xupok Moonheart.9412

I’ve heard it all, 9ms response times, latest pc specs incl. ssd, gfx, fibre connection.. wvw lags, not all day everyday, but definitely certain days, for many in my guild (EU servers), and all at around-about the same time, for a few hours. I peg it on Anet straight. End of discussion.

Building up a fortune just to loose it..

in WvW

Posted by: Xupok Moonheart.9412

Xupok Moonheart.9412

Most serious players, like myself, would spend a LOT of hard earned gold, mostly through PVE and BLTP playing, which feels like a time waste btw, anyway, on upgrading WvW stuff and building seige, some very much more expensive than others, just to loose it to servers with massively more population than we have.
So my question is.. Why do I even bother with this, other than dedication to my server and guild, when I know there is NO, I mean NO chance, for our server to survive the conquest from the others.
I hate to say it, but the current system is so flawed that it becomes extremely annoying and frustrating to play when ‘our’ server are up against higher tiers.
Before you hate, this was written when tier 5 servers where playing, rank 14,15,16 (us being 16) yet their numbers out-weighed us 10-2 easily at any time. 20-2 at prime time..
ArenaNet,PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pay attention to the main wvw thread about changes to the current system or risk loosing loyal players, if not already so.
PVP is not the end-all and be-all.

Issues with getting in dungeon instances

Server: Aurora Glade [EU]

Been trying to get in to Arah for the past week, managed to do so once. Everybody is complaining and discussing the quest chain to be stuck.

What I don’t get is that all areas are instanced, so how the dinges do you get it right to have different bugged dungeons on different servers?
