streaming policy?

So, nothing official on streaming specifically from policy, but…

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-arenanet-streaming-schedule-for-the-week-of-april-3/
https://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2

They specifically call out popular community streamers and invite people to watch them through their official channel – I’ve never heard of any negativity or takedown notices just for streaming actual unmodified gameplay. Do keep their TOU & ROC in mind though:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-content-terms-of-use/
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-rules-of-conduct/

Specifically, things like brand/naming, not appearing official/sanctioned, not profiting from their assets (e.g. selling stuff), etc. If you’re a beta tester – don’t stream that… If you discover a glitch or something that can be exploited, don’t go streaming it or making videos – but otherwise, go to town.

Disclaimer: I’m not ArenaNet, a lawyer, and definitely not ANets lawyer.

Thanks so much for helping out, I’ve always been trying to find actual answers on whether people are allowed to stream or make videos on the game other than ANet themselves, and I have always loved this game for every inch of the content it provides.

The only problem i’ve ever had with it is finding guild members, couldn’t find any prior to the expansion (and I advertised and promoted my guild on the forums, but still nothing) and now that the expansion is out, it will probably be even harder due to the fact that i don’t own it

So I’ve looked around everywhere for sure fired, definitive answer on the policy on streaming and youtube videos of playing the game, I know streaming MMOs usually doesn’t go over well, but i still want to do so. I’m just sort of starting into streaming and wanted to find out. I can’t find any contact info for asking this so I figured i’d check the forums and ask.

Confused on what's available.

I haven’t seen or found a straight answer so i’m asking it myself.

What all is available to those that haven’t bought the Heart of Thorns expansion?
I really want to know these specifically but all is appreciate.

Is the new profession available?
Are the new specializations available?
Is the new PvP available?

Unholy sanctuary removed?

I’ve been seeing this necromancer trait on the wiki but on character builders that are up to date and the wiki doesn’t say it has been removed. I’m asking if it has or not. The latest builder I found last updated on Nov 5th.

How do you feel about these changes?

The new trait system.
I don’t care for it much. It’s just making us work harder for something we’re already working hard for.

The new system of unlocking things by level.
This is both good and bad.
Good that we don’t have to just constantly retrain different weapon skills if we switch to a weapon we haven’t used with the class, but yet bad that we have to level to certain levels before we can even use that slot. I mean the weapon slots.

Also why do we have to unlock our downed skills by certain level now? These changes are just really weird to me and i just want to know why they’ve been implemented.

it’s to late to alter the trait system, best they can do is remove the whole unlock crap and keep the traits in the profession from point 1.
better yet, i would love to be able to use master traits earlier, needing to grind to lvl 60 is not needed and has no benefit to the game.

are you saying it’s to late for them to revert this new trait system back to the old trait system the game came out with? Because you’re wrong. There’s no such thing as to late when dealing with programming. If you coded it to change, you can code it back to the original.

What is this grandfather clause anyways with the traits. I have a level 30 necromancer that had like 5-7 points in adept trait prior to the change and he still got changed to the new system.

I think it would be nice of them to explain to us their reasoning for this change in traits. It would be nice for them to do that so we know what their issue with the old system was.

I can understand why they did this change in traits. I mean i think they did so certain weren’t more powerful than others in PvP OR they wanted us to work more for those traits. But in my true opinion, They need to roll this change back to the old traits because this new system in traits reduces a lot of the open customization that this game was always meant to have.

I’m only seeing people with generic textures and a black silhouette of the person. Why is this?

With saying something to team stomps last like 3 seconds. Typing “hey getting stomped” or “hey need help at where ever” isn’t going to help for two reasons.
1) where your team is
2) a lot of players say to split up and you only need one person on a point

so you see there is an issue. Not a L2P issue but an issue of teamwork. Thieves can basically sustain themselves with out much help. If they have to they can get away easily without any problems they have a lot of escape to them compared to most classes. So in turn there is an issue with thieves in PvP they are a heavy turning point in any PvP match

Excuse me but i’m complaining because of even a player new to PvP in this game can see the cheap shot of stealth finish. I didn’t run into the other thief finish yet. and it’s a big issue if i get stealth stomped, my teammates don’t realize it and do nothing, and then just not even rez me and run off to either go to a new point or go find the thief and it doesn’t help when there is 3 thieves on one team and no guardians on my team to help

Matchmaking

@ Shadowraid- are you playing tournament Pvp or hot join?

Hot join is what it is. However PvP the matchmaking is not very good either in my opinion. I get group with a ton of low ranked team members. Last night I was on a team where I was 38 and everyone else was under rank 10. sucks for me cause I have to usually explain that it doesn’t take 3 people to cap a point or that hold points is key to winning. Last night the match I was in I scored 230 points. Capped 11 points and killed 10 or so foes. All the other members of my team where under 100 points. I also ended up in 2 matches where the whole team where thief’s. Honestly I don’t see the balance in match making at all. Below are two examples of what I would fix.

1. Even out the classes in each match. ( all the thief’s shouldn’t be on the same team if the other team has everything other then Thief.

2. make a cap so tournament play can’t be played till glory level 10 or 15. I hate being grouped with a bunch of sub level 10’.

good luck and keep up the grind! Its got to get better some day!

I understand and i don’t see balance either but the capping thing. I’m the kind of person that says have 2-3 people on a point not to cap it but for protection. It’s all teamwork and if you’re someone like a light armor and the only on the point and 4 people from the other team coming at you you’d be wishing you had other teammates there to help.

i know how the thief stealth works it’s just doing damage or actions does not reveal them so if your entire team is on them and they stealthed and you have a person down that thief can finish them off without even being seen

Why is it that nothing causes their stealth to release. Seriously i’ve been stealth finished 10 times now. This is ridiculous

I love the PvP but the one thing that gets me is why do they have it where it matches people at similar glory gain. I mean i’ve been doing PvP jsut now and ’ve been up against people higher rank than me because of this system. Why not set it to rank not glory gain. It makes match ups unfair to beginning PvP players like myself
