Guild Wars 2

I think GW2PVP keeps a track on your current season winrate.

Leaderboards (beta) -> Actual Season
Edit: Link didn’t work.

Druid won’t be that op without Celestial amulet tbh. It’s what gave them so much sustain in 1v1’s

Opened a few as well but I just decided to stop. But having that chest popping up on every characters you play on is just so tempting ;_;

GW1 is still more active in pvp (all gamemodes included) than GW2 is.

You lost me when you started lying to exaggerate your point. Cause you know, this is ludicrously easy to verify. When I logged into GW1 last week fit nostalgia’s sake, I went to go do the pvp I liked there and was disappointed. The temple of Balthazar, which back before gw2 would have a dozen or more full districts, had one, rather empty district. HoM is far more active. But, then I went to check fort aspenwood and jade quarry. Both were totally and completely empty. Not a single person on either end.

My bad, as Empa said it few posts after yours, i meant competitive PvP.
I also played some RA matches today. I somehow had more 4v4 than i had 5v5 in soloQ for the past year

I don’t get all the talking about GW1 and how amazing it was.

NOT A SINGLE dev (at least in the pvp side) from GW1 is still working for GW2.
This game wasn’t (for the past 2 years), isn’t and WILL NEVER be like GW1.

Get over it. This game will never be any competitive. GW1 is still more active in pvp (all gamemodes included) than GW2 is.

This game just requires no skill at all.
Even the below average player is able to run guardian, hammbow, evade spam thief while being good at playing War – Monk – Ranger in GW1 pvp required more than just rolling your face on the keyboard.

I’d say something it needs something GW1 had:
A Test Krew, with pretty much the “top lvl” players testing GW2 skillupdates and giving their feedback, is what we need

This is already a thing, though. There are players who alpha/beta test the updates coming into the game before it goes live, including top tier PvP players.

I clearly not believe those PvP players accepted dhummfire and other stuffs. I meant a Test Krew that has actually some power towards game updates

Will you marry me?

BLUna.7928:

Out of curiosity, are you guys more interested on just getting a formal show for higher level players to express their opinions (probably w/o devs) or more like a direct interaction between devs and players on those issues (what SOTG was before)?

I’d say something it needs something GW1 had:

Anet once said about the Skyhammer hate that forum feedback isnt representative of the whole PvP playerbase.
Why do you even care?
They killed PvP but they keep digging deeper and deeper.
I wish the GW1 devs would come back and delete all that crap they call “pvp”.

1 PvP gamemode (broken and full of bug/exploit) for a game that was supposed to push into eSports. I wonder how many devs work on PvP and balance updates.
2 updates a year… So ye, what do you expect from this pool? Skyhammer wont get removed anytime soon, you wont have a pvp update/push into eSports, they’re too busy working on livingstory #2

Here’s what I don’t get about tournaments:-

The most skilful teams/players will always win the tournament, come 2nd, 3rd etc…

So any tournament offering decent prizes, like legendary weapons, precursors is going to be generally won by the same group of players over and over again.

This ‘pool’ will consist of the same lets say 50 – 80 players. Who perhaps represent 0.001% of all players who play GW2.

So what’s in it for the other 99.999% of GW2 players?

AFAIK…nothing. So why push tournaments so much?

Interesting point of view, but it should also be an incentive for more teams to practise and increase competition. Unfortunately a 1 time tournament won´t make many people stick together as a team. We need some reward for a constantly ongoing competition like leaderboards with rewards so good that everybody wants to be in the top 100 for example.

Rewards won’t help nor make the good players come back. At best they will come back for 1month and realize again how boring is conquest mode.
A total rework of PvP & some classes mechanics is needed to make it competitive (conquest mode is nowhere close to competitive).
I still have more fun watching old vids from 2006 GvG in GW1 than I had watching the past ToL final full of asura and passive/defensive plays

And not a single answer was given

Do we have anything new for this? It’s kinda boring to get not rewarded for spending 1h in high lvl fractals

Gold/silver/pooptrim and daily/monthly tourneys

It’s not bugged, the achievement is linked to the party, not only you

The MMR is way more solid than it has ever been and allows us to play with players close to our top only.

LOL what? This isn’t even close to being correct. Had several matches last night, 5 dragons vs Dolyaks or lower, they got utterly facerolled, how is this solid MMR? None of the matches were even kind of close.

U dont get sarcasm do u?

This update was good.
It was a nice push into eSports, with several new game modes, veteran players being rewarded for what they did pre-patch and giving them stuff according to their pre-patch rank.
The MMR is way more solid than it has ever been and allows us to play with players close to our top only. Players who have played a significant numbers of tourneys are into the leaderboards and we dont see players with [10wins – 3lose] being top20 anymore.
Broken builds like decap engi, pistol whip, petting zoo, PU, Diamond Skin & some other crap builds pre patch got slightly nerfed and we dont see a lot of them anymore in either soloQ or teamQ.
Also the new ladders & leagues they introduced was really nice and the fact they do not count towards daily achievment improved PvP’ers gameplay since PvE’rs didn’t care about it (since it didnt give them their 2 daily achievment points).
The fact they introduced guild halls was amazing and i dont think i’ll be able to thanks Anet enough for it anytime soon.

Guess that’s it.

Will it come back anytime soon? I kinda miss it

If i’m right, Bart talked about it on another thread..
A title rewarding ppl for being the best (like the Champion title system in GW1 for winning matches against 1.200+pts guilds ONLY) and beating the best team would be awesome.
Ofc, that imply a total rework of the leaderboards since it’s nearly impossible to get 10/10 players above r200 in 2 teams due to broken leaderboard & mmr.

So yh, imo a long term title should be working like this, being in the best team & beating the best ppl.
Ppl love that king of titles, and since VERYONE will have a dragon finisher, it will give top [50/100/200?] players an opportunity to get titles that others can’t farm or grind.

Good french skills.

Well let’s be honest..

THIS PvP is “competitive casual” because there’s no competition at all. It’s not even close to be any competitive since it doesnt reward anything (#eSports)

As an exemple, the difference between a good and a bad guardian is fairly less important than a good and a bad prot/heal monk in GW1.

If you want an online game to be “casual competitive”, GW2 in its current state is perfect for you, considering it doesnt reward good players

Sorry mate but competitive and casual are 2 different things that cant be matched together

Wad? There’s competitive PvP in GW2?

Djooce is the best <3

How can GW1 PvP [9 years after its release] be still more competitive than GW2 one?

How come GW1 had several types of PvP to please everyone, from the competitive playerbase (ha, gvg, hb, ta) to the more casuals (ab, ra..) while we have a terrible mix of broken RA+AB as only PvP in gw2?

In before infraction: im not QQ’ing, im wondering

AlKTN.3742:

Just remind this : “GW2 PvP is made for ESPORT”.

I hope you remember (anet staff) [WM], [DF], [rawr], [KMD], [KvZ] etcetcetc so much nice guilds and their legendary’s GvG.

Wtf is [KvZ] doing in this list?

Empaaaaa <3 da best around

- Add a GvG system,
- Make a ladder with a real matchmaking system linked to guild in which at the end of the season (2months) the 32 first guilds fight each other (1vs32 – 2vs31 – 3vs30 …..) in a knockout phase.
- Offer gold/silver/bronze trims depending on Season knock out phase position (every month , trim lasts 2 month except for gold ofc)

- Add a monthly system in which EVERY GUILD could participate (and not only the 32 best ones like in Season) and offer prices (maybe different than gold/silver/poop trim, so we dont see too many of them, so ppl will play more & better to get one)

Make sure mat’s & Seasons are 2 differents things:
Season rewards the 32 best guilds
Monthly rewards everyone who wanna participate

Oh and ADD GUILDHALLS

Someone talking about GvG in Gw2.

Must lock thread or make it a feedback thread and once the “thx for all your feedbacks” is done, close it asap

Will u marry me?

When they were used on the A/P spike and dual ele spike.
It was in a game mode called GvG

OniDrake.4361:

/Cheer Vizuna piken buying second place @first week risk to reach 4 place now gogo

As long as the SFR forum knights like you dont get #1 in League, everything is alright.

Now get back on your own match up thread, thx

OniDrake.4361:

Jayne.9251:

Piken doesn’t cry “double team” … we welcome the extra lootbags/fights.

We watched SFR claim that in the first match of the league when it wasn’t happening. It made them look a bit silly.

Welcome the third place too in season, and on this week u will taste the revenge for helping vizuna and double team us 24/7 first week

You seem to forget that on the last mu SFR will be 2pts ahead PS. IF VZ and PS decide to really double team you, both SFR and PS will be #2.

SFR logic…

Idk what you all on about. Piken is aweful during weekend nothing new there.

Even Jade Sea & Kodash did it on reset last week. That makes you at least as good as them.

Hey instead of crying, why dont every WvW Gold League servers just ally against Seafarer and dont hit eachother, there would be a chance that another server than SFR wins this league.

xoxoxox

Anyway @ “gvg” players: How the kitten you can call 20 kittentons of hammer stun spam + might stackers + conds removals a gvg? You’re just rushing each other with the SAME builds over and over. Nice build diversity you’re trying out. Did even one of you ever played top gvg in gw1 or even 1 gvg match? I rly wonder.
At best call it “mirror builds matches”, you’re a disgrace to GW1 gvg.

Hi.

So tell me what top guilds did you play in, since you seem to be such an advocate of what is worthy to be called “GvG”.

Anyways what is the point in having a go at players simply based on a choice of format title. It sounds to me like you are annoyed that GvG was discountinued by Arenanet, I know I very much was but there is no point taking it out on players. If you want to complain where it is relevant then you will complain to Anet for scrapping such an amazing game format, but this thread and the intention of players doing GvG in WvW, is completely unrelated to your point.

Hey. Dunno what you’re on about nor why you ask for my guild history. But if that matter to you i made 2 goldcape (2011). Idm if you tell me GvG was dead since 2008/2009 you made your first gold in 2010 if im right.
I respect you as a player and i have just no clue what you’re trying to prove asking for my GvG refs.

Spread more love mate. Endo is waving you though!

Tbh, i support people doing their “gvg’s” cause if somehow a dev reads the feedbacks they will do something about it..

Edit: Inbefore " lol we dont rush eachother" ; i didnt say you have no tactics you’re just running in circle using veil til someone with a good position engage. Your tactics are far above GW1 ones.

TL;DR : Anet needs to add real gvg / what you guys do in WvW isnt GvG
