Once I submit the spreadsheet with my guildies names etc, is there a method to add more later?

I am trying to collect as many people as wish to participate, but this is taking time and I don’t want to hold the process up for those who have already given me their details.

Same, I don’t want to delay the process for those ready. Its hard to manage a big guild, and to get all the required informations in 1 or 2 days, with those working, busy, etc …

Balance in sPvP: is it worth playing?

Actually once you reach top

With the actual system and the broken teams it’s hard.

Problem is, no one wants to defend points, because no one wants to be a bunker. Why ? Funniest to kill people in mid, instead of bunker your point.

Sometimes I roll guardian, but what can I do against a full zerker team ? …

I feel like the current meta is : Full full berzerk condi.

Without the most cheesy build existent there is almost no possibility to win against the ones that use them.

For example tank vs full condi, is hard. Why ? Cuz the tank have no damage, and the zerker will kill you slowly with his bunch of condi that you can’t clean.

hum, yeah that’s a bit condescending, but i’m sick of those players that can’t even cap a point.

I’ve learnt the spvp and soloq by myself, everyone can do it !!! The game is based on capture/points.

What do I need to do, in order to get positions/points?
- Oh, no one is defending close, I should take a look.
- Far seems to be empty, I should take a look, and try to get it.
- My mate is doing a 2v1, I should look at his life, and maybe help him.

Do people think FFA give a victory ? Of course not. If you say so, refer to the above questions.

0 positions => no points => no victory.

But what if a roamer got it, who is not a bunker, and thinks he would be more useful elsewhere?

i’d rather try to defend.

I think one might think the best is to cap the point and then go somewhere else helping your teammates.

Holding a point 5s = 5 pts = 1 kill. And most of the time you can hold longer than 5s.

You need to manage the timer. You can leave your position are 450-50 for eg. But don’t leave at the begining. Most of the time ppl rush close/mid, and then few people go far If you don’t defend while the other team is defending his close, you’ll lose lots of points.

Check your minimap too. If 4 ppl (opposite team) are fighting mid, you can try to go somewhere else.

you could always educate people and tell them in a friendly manner about the changes instead of just playing the whole game while they go about it in the wrong way due to ignorance.

just only allow ENGIs for spvp

Engineers are (imo) the strongest class in the game. Require a little practise to be viable but a lot of training to be good. They have been flying over the radar of ANet because its a class that requires some practise and people are turning to classes that are easier to play in the beginning. (warriors, necros, mesmers, thiefs).
ANet probably sooner or later will put them more in line with other professions.

Of course they’re strong, and yeah I have an engi and it requires more pratice than war or necro.

Also, some people forget a point : Fighting an engi with a large area, or fighting an engi on points, is very different.

Engi are pretty good in defence. Just use your elite and spam bombs on yourself. If someone go in the point … pray for your life.

problem is : engi have a good dps, tank very well, and can bump/control. That’s too much =/

It’s still garbage.

Yeah =/

I did 2 games, just right now :
- 1st one was 4v5 …. easy win, even if my team was bad.
- 2nd was 500-50, not really enjoyable.

I agree, and would have no problem with them making spvp more rewarding. The sad fact is that spvp is way too segregated from the rest of the game.

Yes and no … I don’t mind about the rewards personnaly. I just want to play with good players and having enjoyable games.

<90% it’s just FFA and pure luck.

aren’t teams supposed to be more balanced than before? So why would MMR rating even matter?

SUPPOSED !

This morning I played with a r1 thief in my team …. He was going to take close, saw an enemy and rushed him … Well I was behind and I took the point. But if he was alone, no one cared about it …

@romek I was on 90-100% range before the reset, but after the reset I’ve lost hundreds of ranks, and keep playing with nab teams.

People who won their 1st match after the reset, have a good rank.
People who lost their 1st match after the reset, have a crappy rank.

Oh come on … If you can’t read a minimap, don’t go soloq then …

Yuki.1765

There’s something I can’t understand. Why ppl do soloq if they don’t even know what to do, and how to play ??!!

If you want to FFA, 1v1 or doing “kittens”, don’t go soloq, it’s the wrong place for this !

Do you understand that victory is based on capture/defence ? I don’t think so. A lot of ppl don’t care about points, and don’t care about defences. But, how can you win without holding position?

And stop with the ranks. When I see r50 ppl who can’t even cap the close (not even defending, just the cap) … That’s just stupid.

Or when I see my team has 0 positions, and running somewhere, looking for butterflies or ponies … I’m not superman, I can’t cap + hold 3 position at the same time -_-

A lot of people try to do hard for their team, try to get a better LB rank, try to improve their game. While others are just FFA-ing outside the points, or ruining the game !

Once again, if you don’t mind about victory or your LB rank, please don’t go soloq. Just go hotjoin, or whatever, but stop ruining the games.

I like pvp, I like soloq, but playing with players who don’t care about the others is just annoying and frustrating.

@Justin : My MMR keeps decreasing. How am I supposed to play with good players if I keep playing with people that don’t care about the game or the victory ? I want to play with ppl that care about the game and the victory !!!

Tips for bunkers

in PvP

Posted by: Yuki.1765

Yuki.1765

hum i’ll give you my point of view, playing 2 bunker classes (necro and guardian)

Let’s assume I go close first, is it a good idea to help out in mid
after that considering my low mobility or stay in case the enemy has
roamers for decapping far?

Nifhel : Close -> Mid are too far away, I’d rather hold the close.
Foefire : Close and mid are very close, you can stay between close and mid, and see what you need to do depending on your allies life.
Temple : Very risky, people can steal your point from behind. I’d rather stay close.
Watchspirit : Close and mid are close, you can defend close, and go mid if no one is coming.
Skyhammer : Stay close

Is it even a good idea to go close first as a bunker in forest considering
the capper normally bursts the npcs or should I straight head for mid?
There’s also the danger of the enemie having burst roamers who can
gank the person guarding close easily. (I have seen enough thieves with insane
burst potential)

A bunker can’t kill the npc very fast, it takes too much time. Call a mate, kill it fast, and back to your point.

If no one is coming … Try to kill it, but be carefull, a decap is only few seconds.

Is it considered useful to leave home in kylo to treb mid during a teamfight or should that always do a light armor who is not as useful in team scenarios?

At the begining ppl will rush to you. If you can beat them very easily, they won’t come back. Wait few mins, and if no one is coming back, try to get the treb or repair the treb.

Is it the bunkers job to secure the buffs on the kodan map?
If yes, which ones? Tranquility seems a little bit of a hassle, again
because of low mobility.

Try to do it, but be carefull.

Most of the time ppl don’t go to Tranquility buff. If you’re ready to do it (arround 8.30 min ), AND alone (very important), you don’t mind about losing your close.

Would you consider it to be more of a team support since it has very good buff/cond removal potenital, ressing due to banner and stomp/ress interrupts on the offset
or would it be better to solo bunk close with SoR instead of BS?

Dunno, i’m playing necro/guard it’s different. My bunker guardian doesn’t have a lot of allie buffs. I only care about my survival => Better to stay close, i’m useless in mid.

My necro is different, I can play bunker or support (debuff, fear). If someone go close I go mid, i’ll be more usefull for my mates. But if no one takes the close, I can do it alone.

Hum nice post Lord, but the reality is pretty different.

1, Know your build and play accordingly

A lot of ppl don’t know their build. Also, playing full berserker in soloQ isn’t the best idea.

2, Try to arrange an opening in map chat

No one do it… Most of the time ppl dun even say hello/hi.

3, Bias the powerful secondary objectives if you are a strong player

Most of the time ppl don’t go to the secondary objectives. For exemple, the top buff at silentstorm, usually ppl forget it….

4, Use the map to make smart decisions

What is a smart decision ?lol Lots of ppl don’t care about map strategy.

5, Call targets and focus targets

Depends, but usually it works.

Let me see my Victory % : 35,90%

I bet you’re one of those people who fight offpoint and think kills wins the game.

Personnally, I play necro and defend the Closest point. I’m usefull for my team !

I also fight ON points. Fighting outside is useless, unless for the temple map, with the mid and top buffs.

Well you know, if I defend my point but no one takes the middle or go to the far …. => you lose !!!!!

If you get a good team comp consisting of 5 non-afking players your chances are dramaticaly higher.

Coordination dude. Without coord, even with good ppl, you may lose.

Once we were 3 necros, we lost it /disagree

SoloQ is a huge lotery (national lotery?!), you can win a very good compo, win with a pretty bad compo, lose with a good compo, lose with bad coord …

Let’s take the watchspirit map : Even if you have a pro compo, if no one get the orb … You win /dance

I have just ended a tournamet where i got in my team a rank 3 and a rank 9 vs a full team of rank 30 at least.
Yeee it’s broken

ended 2 soloQ :
- 1st one, opposite team didn’t get the orb, and didn’t defend their positions => Too easy
- 2nd one, my team was running I dunno where, and keep dying at central point. We Had a r50 war, totally useless, with 0 personnal pts at the end of the game. => Ridiculous

I feel That SoloQ is : I’m ganked or I gank other team … I’m not enjoying SoloQ anymore …

Now add in this equation another player to fight against, 80% of sPvP is not about 1v1s. Then what ?

It becomes very interesting ^^ As long as I’m near the walls, you can’t bump/drag me into the glass. But if anyone goes behind me, and fear/bump me, I’ll die => My fault, few second of inattentions.

That’s why I like this map, you need skills but you also need to work with your environement.

What if he… you know… wait for the mark to wear off? Since you won’t know if he’s there or not because… he’s in stealth.

You can perma mark.

You can’t see him coming because… they’re… in… stealth.

You can jump, and scout. He won’t stealth from A to C. Usually they stealth few meters before the glass.

You can’t time your evade unless you blindly waste them because they’re in……… stealth.

I can waste them if I was fighting with another ppl. Even if in Stealth, when you walk in the glass pad, you can hear a sound, and prepare your skills/evades blablabla.

If I play guardian I perma break the glass and use shield skill n°5 if someone is coming + stab.

If i’m out of stabs or evades … I go somewhere where the thief can’t pull me into the glass (means I lose the point if he’s in the middle ).

I’ve noticed ppl focus to much on their cap area. If you stay in the middle, it’s very easy to pull you back to the glass.

But, if you’re in the cap area corner, or outside the cap area, that’s much more difficult for them.

unless i’ve perma stability.

I think this is a very interesting map, that shouldn’t be removed. Of course, if you don ‘t have any stability …. you’ll cry.

To be honest, the problem is the soloQ balance (communication between players too ?!), and not the skyhammer map. If you have a good team, with a lot of stabs and controls, it’ll be ok.

If you don’t have stabs, you need to stay near the walls, manage your evades etc….

I don’t have any problem with this map cuz it force me to play with the environement. If I am in the wrong place, if I didn’t manage well my evades, if I am knocked back, that’s my fault

This means we’ll be able to do things like limit number of professions/builds, and more.

Oh builds too, interesting. You mean, in the future we won’t be able to get 3 bunkers or 3 wars or 3 mesmers in a team, right?

professions/builds limitation are ok, but do not normalize everything please.

And what about the rerolls? People will still be able to reroll another class or change their build before the game start? Or, do you want to block professions/builds composition after people click “go now” ?

.If player is active within 5 seconds,he gets a yellow card debuff that is visible to everyone but is only an indicator.

5s only? What about bunkers or players holding their positions ?

20s seems to be good for me. Sometimes there’s not a lot to do, if the opposite team is bad.

But your “confirmation box” is a good idea, why not.

1)spvp glory rank grouping- rank 1-20 group,21-40 group,41-80 group. depending on ur rank,u should only be in a match where all 10 ppl are from the same group.

I don’t like this idea, once again you’re focusing on glory ranks, instead of skills.

Today I’ve made 9 SoloQ, with balanced teams (r30-r50), BUT I’ve lost the 9 games … Only one was very interesting (480 vs 500 pts), other were 100 or 150 vs 500. That’s why I don’t like this idea.

And maybe one more thing, ranks should be soulbound. Maybe you’re pretty good with your main, which is r50+. But it doesn’t mean your reroll is good too, prolly not (who knows). MMR should includes your alts skills and performances !

You don’t always have to win a match to be good.

But you need to win if you don’t want to see your MMR decreased ! SoloQ isn’t the best place for 1v1 or 2v1, except if you figth on points (usually ppl don’t).

Imo if the game is unbalanced, the game should restart with fresh people.

The “ready” button? What a joke, no one use it. But, ready for what ? Most of the time people don’t even say “Hello” or give any strategies …

Giving up before you even try is absolutely poor sportsmanship. Give your teammates a chance instead of thinking about yourself.

Yeah but no. When the opposite team has bunch of warriors/guardians, and yours none … What can you do ? People will play 2-3 mins, they’ll see the opposite team has too munch bunkers, and they’ll give up !

4v5 frequency

We’ll be doing a few things to reduce the amount of players who AFK in matches.

  • We’re going to reduce the amount of dishonored stacks a player needs before they’re prevented from queuing for tournaments. The amount we have set right now is too high, and it isn’t weeding out enough people. At the same time, we want to make sure we’re not harshly punishing players that are not intentionally AFK’ing out of matches.
  • We’re going to reduce the amount of time someone can be AFK in a match before they’re kicked for inactivity. This won’t prevent 4v5 games itself, but it will give the player dishonored stacks more consistently, hopefully preventing them from ruining future games.
  • We’d also like to add a category for reporting players in PvP. For the time being, like Justin has mentioned previously, report the players for botting.

Personally, I think 4v5 matches aren’t caused as much by people wanting to grief, but rather because people get frustrated in a loss and try to find better things to do with their time. Hopefully with our upcoming reward changes we can increase our player base, thereby evening out the distribution of players across the ratings spectrum, thus reducing the amount of lopsided ‘rage-inducing’ landslide losses.

/Goesbacktodoingweekendstuff

Well, some good idea but, what about the balance?

Imo we need 2 systems :
- auto balance, in order to get the same amount of ppl for each team.
- a new game is created, preventing rage and the MMR decrease.

Tbh, i’d rather restart a game with 5v5 than play a painful 4v5. 4v5 is just stupid and a waste of time. Also a waste of MMR …

Are you working on those aspects?

@Amaterasu

I understand those demotivated players. but afking isn’t the best solution. What is the best? afking or running arround, waiting for the end …

So pessimistic

This game is about teamplay, how is someone supposed to coordinate well without being on ts?

Well, 1st people should start communicate … Most of the time chan map is dead!

and what about a public Tn TS ? I think it would be great.

Maybe new game modes / reward will make the game more fun.

Oh god, you’ve checked their LB ranks … (waste of time?)

there’s lots of volatility with the LB. If you lose 2 or 3 games, your rank will be decreased by 100+ ranks. And, that’s a big problem.

Since MMR is broken (imo it is), like @garetth says :

Pray that you don’t just get unlucky and get a few teams with a few people who aren’t taking TPvP seriously or are having off-days… leading you to a downward spiral and back into the worst elo hell I’ve ever seen.

Imo, lots of players are undervalued, and prolly some overvalued. It doesn’t they are bad.

Don’t forget the 5v4 5v3 games. Maybe those players lost lots of ranks cuz of that (who knows?)

I’ve never played with those players, but before saying : ahhhhh lvl 3 omg, MMR suck !!
→ That lv3 or lv5 were bad or not ?
→ Did they contribute to the game(s) (w/e the result) ?

If i’m right, you won with that lv5 ranger. It is also the same with your lv3 ranger. Also seems that they killed or cap-ed some positions.

Once again i’ve never met those players, but when I read you, I smell some hate against people bellow your rank. Maybe I’m wrong, but can you tell me if they were useless in the game or not ?

Makes casualQ (can que with any amount of players, based on rank alone) and rankedQ (must be over rank 20~, split into team or solo, MMR exc).

What if an extremely experienced player makes an alt account? They’d be rank 1 but they’d still probably be better than most of you.

No need to add more … here’s the answer, and i’m agree with @Write.

Today I played with some r40 teams (I’m 39), and they were noobs … Everyone had the same rank, but their skills and performances were horribly bad. I did my job, I defended close, because no one wanted to (sadness), and the other were … running arround?!

Btw, if you want to be a casual, go Hotjoin.

Well suddenly I have a new idea, what about 2 or 3 tests, in order to measure your skills and performances.

- 1 defence test : Let’s say you need to defend a point against 1 2 or 3 npc ( with different classes ). With this system can evaluate your “defence” skills.

- 1 Offensive test : the contrary, you need to get a points with 1 2 or 3 defenders. System evaluate your “offencise” skills.

- 1 Tactic test : harder, but why not. I don’t have example for this one.

- 1 PvP test: The system measure your ability to fight. A purely 1v1 or 2v1 for example.

At the end of these test, a “Pre-MMR” will be determined. With this system, rank doesn’t matter, only skills and perf measured.

Futhermore, it will performed for EACH class. And of course, depending on your class, the test will be a bit different. For example, if you’re a bunker guardian, some parameters will need to be done.

to find there MMR before step in real Tournaments

Everyone should have a test or something to define their real MMR. It’s the best solution to avoid ranks problem and focus on real players performances.

only good filter would be not allow players lower than rank 10 to que for tournaments

once again, rank doesn’t mean anything. If you farmed your glory, being r50 doesn’t mean you’re good.

I like your “leagues” idea, but this shouldn’t based on rank, but on players skills.

@michael the problem is, new ppl just don’t say anything. There is 0 communication.

old people don’t say anything too. To be honest I don’t say anything cuz I don’t want to be trolled, flammed or w/e, I answer if someone asked me something.

But i’m gettin furious when i type it, trying to win and ppl just ignore it, and we get kicked 2xx-500….

But sometimes you lose for different reasons, for eg. the balance !

This morning I did 4 games, and won 1 (sadness), why ?
- 1st game : No guardian, no war and the opposite team had bunker guardian + wars.
- 2nd game : No guardian, 1 war, the opposite team had 2 bunker guardian.
- 3rd game : 1 war only, the opposite team had 1 stun war, 1 spirit ranger.
- 4rd game (won) : SpiritWatch, opposite team was dumb and didn’t get the orb.

Today is it pretty hard to win without a guardian or wars. Let’s take the 2nd game. What can we do against 2 bunker guardians? 1 middle, 1 close. They can hold 2 points VERY VERY VERY easily.

Or another eg., how can you defend something against stun war + spirit ranger ? … bump bump stun stun fear bump immo, dead! Without stability you can’t even deal 1 damage …

So, sometimes your mates are good, but when the balance suck you can’t do anything, Anet needs to fix this!

@deda I dont want to change class,and i consider my self hybrid freak in a sense that i like to play all classes ,i have about 500 games with each class ,but i dont want to change cause i set my self other goals and dont like to be dictated how and with wht to play.

Sometimes people can’t reroll. I could reroll guardian or war, but I’m bad with them.

This discussion is a pretty good example of why I’ve been suggesting we factor in play style and profile information into matchmaking as well.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could say how serious you were about competition and be matched accordingly? I want to make that happen.

Can we have any examples?

Right now pvp level is just how much time you’ve farmed sPvP, rather than an actual skill indication.

Of course it is!

The question is, what is a good player ?
- A killer ? Kills lots of people and get lots of points.
- A bunker ? Defends your positions for your team, but he won’t get a lot of points.
- A support ? Helps his allies, heal and debuff them.
- A PGM ? Perfect builds, fully optimized.

Or, a mix ?

Now, how can you measure those parameters?
- kills, captures, top stats, it’s very easy to get them.
- But how can you measure if THIS guy is pro with his class ? How can you determine if the used skills were the most appropriate in the situation? I think it’s very hard to measure this!

That’s why glory points doesn’t mean anything, they’re based on kills and captures only.

That’s why, maybe this “rank 5 guy” is better than you, who knows ?!

Now about the ladderboard well …. Supposing rank doesn’t mean anything, being in a r50 team doesn’t mean you’ll win !!!

Furthermore, the biggest problem in SoloQ is the communication. Even if your team is supposed to be pro, if no ones communicate, you’ll loose. In the contrary, a noob team with a good communication may win.

And then, don’t forget the “off-peak” hours. Most of the times it is pretty hard to get player that match your level in off-peak.

So, YES the system need to be improved. How? I Don’t know, it’s very complicated. Shame on those sky hammer r50 farmers…. Now being in a r50 team is ridiculous…

arenanet should hide it – to hard for people

Why not, at least people won’t focus on those stupid numbers, that doesn’t reflect your real level

lv 50 knowing that lv 1 most likely doesn’t know anything

Just a question: You’re a very good GvGer in WvW. You want to start sPvP and soloQ. Of course that guy needs to learn the map strats. BUT, do you think this guy could be worse than a nooby skyhammer r50 ? Honnestly

Ranks 1-20 need to not be allowed to Queue up for ranked play.

Well you know, ranks doesn’t mean anything right now. A lot of ppl has farmed their glory. Sometimes r10 people are better than r50.

@Tranasa

I was in one of your games. And there’s something that affraid me, about the necro “conception”. There’re a lot of builds that are neither tank or condi. And personnaly, I’m hybrid or Off-tank. I’m not designed to tank a point, or to dps a lot. My gameplay is based on supporting my allies. I can defend or I can dps, but i’m not a full tank or full dps. THAT WHY I didn’t say I was a “tank”.

In my opinion hybrid builds are very usefull, you can do everything.

But it is the same with the other class, for eg people think 90% guardians are bunkers, sometimes it is not.

I am totally agree, there’s a HUGE lack of communication in soloQ. People don’t know other the other play etc… Atm i’m not enjoying soloQ either.

people rage less

NO, people rage more (imo).

Glory from hot joins

Yuki.1765

How about increasing those to 100+ each? Maybe then ppl would start rezzing in hotjoin.

+10 each would be great.

Now, people don’t mind about loosing or winning, this is just ridiculous. Personally, I want to win, cuz I want to lvl up. It’s already hard to reach r40+, now it’s just impossible. Except, if you leech …

I’ve been used to get 250+ pts each game, sometimes 300+, even if my team mates were useless. Now, if there’s no cooperation, even if you get 300+ pts during the match (your personnal score), you’ll get 150, if your team suck.

Imo, this system is pretty good in Team Arena or even Solo Arena, but it is useless in Hot Join.

I mean, in hot join people don’t care about caps, defence, rez and everything … Let them play how they want, even if it’s a bit no brain…

@dinzdzinier

Since the last update, Glory points + Rank points are based on your victory. It is also based on MATCH duration.

Victory: 220 pts if i’m right
Lost: 130 pts
+ bonus points, 5 pts for each “top statistic”
+ glory booster

And finally, shorter is the match, less points you get.

So yeah, if you enter in a game 30 seconds before the end, and your team is winning, you’ll get 220+ pts.

assuming you got at least some points (like 2 captures or something).

Yeah

Our secret ? We do have lots of insomniacs, sponsored by Nespresso (lol)

For example, I stop playing around 3am.

To be honest, you don’t need to get huge amounts of people during the night. You just need to be organized. Most of the time BL maps aren’t full the night, even EB.

On another note how you manage your queues?

We just pray to get in lol. But yeah, a lot of people working, can’t play during the prime-time.

Sometimes raids guilds can’t get in, but we manage to play with the pick-up and all

I have the same issue, I was playing on EB.

I happened 3 times :
- 1st : I was talking to a npc.
- 2nd : I was walking somewhere, near Danelon passage.
- 3rd : I was tping to Valley.

So, there’re 3 different situations … Some ppl crashed/freezed during a fight too.

And this happen since the last patch, I’ve never crashed or frozen in WvW.

Please fix this as soon as possible, and give us an ETA.

Ascended backpiece more stats (healing power)

in Suggestions

Posted by: Yuki.1765

Yuki.1765

Hi everyone,

Considering there’re more people on this board (english one), I’ll post my suggestion here.

This is a suggestion about the Fractal’s (ascended) backpieces, and the missing stats (again and again … ).

I’m playing a support / healing class (and I like this gameplay), BUT there’s NO cleric or any healing power stats, ascended backpieces for me.

So, considering the last update about the rings, earings and amulets , can Anet put new stats for the ascended backpieces too ?

Such as : power/healing power/toughness (cleric) or any ascended backpieces with healing power in.

I feel like, playing support or healing is not appreciated in this game. Why is the cleric or healing power stats always missing in the ascended stuff =/

Best regard
