Guild Wars 2

Good thing they insta-fixed a bug which gave us 800-1000 bonus damage on phantasms, but they can’t fix iWarden and some of the bugs that make the Mesmer pretty useless if not for its’ utility.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Time to join the Thief bandwagon.

A trap called “Deploy Sentry” it creates an illusionary sentry defender, flag and a circle to the ground that is as strong as the original however being an illusion it gives no credit whatsoever. That is what I want, I could effectively split a rampaging army and destroy those that actually attack when the other is standing there, confused about not having wxp credit.

Applied trap? meh, sounds about as useful as the stealth trap

now, if we had a 30-60s “boons cannot be applied to this group, debuff” trap…

After patch lyssa runes converts up to 5 conditions into 9 sec of regen
While tooltip says: convert up to 5 conditions into boons

You’re complaining against playing against teams? In team queue?

Just so you know, there are zergs in WvW and mobs in PVE, too. It’s a jungle out there.

So occasionally there are two people down very close to each other, one an ally and one an enemy. Sometimes it’s better to ress your ally, sometimes it’s better to finish the downed enemy. Due to them being the same button, the game requires you to click on the one you want to stomp/ress, which can waste valuable seconds in a teamfight.

So I’m asking for an optional keybind, along the lines of the walk key (not bound by default so as not to complicate things for new players) for ressing/stomping.

I feel like this would be a nice quality of life change, especially for bunkers.

Really it is.

And why? Simple. One game mode. Every poll ever done suggested more game modes as the key.

Anet have given up adding maps too. In fact we haven’t had a new “team arena” map in 18 months. So for 18 months there is no “freshness” into pvp.

New game mode seems like it is never coming because “league of legends only has one game mode!”. This sort of analogy is just so flawed.

Solo arena is a total joke. Firstly it has skyhammer. Secondly everybody has totally given up try harding and it now just a total kitten around by both teams.

Team arena is equally dull. What is there, about 4 “teams” who play a viable comp? Everyone else is just playing very casually. So that clearly shows the joke that is team arena. When compostion and “rotations” (also known as running to empty point with bunkers and dying slowly to win 500-100) are more important than actual fighting then you know you created epic fail pvp.

There is nothing to do with 2/3 friends. Do arena-net really not understand social scenarios? It is way way harder to sustain a 5 man group than it is to sustain a 2/3 man group. People have their own commitments. In a 5 man groups these clash often so playing as a “team” simply doesn’t work. People have personalities. In a 5 man group these clash so playing as a “team” simply doesn’t work. People want to play something fun. When (to win) you need 3 (minimum) bunkers (for the “pro” rotations) then you need to find 3 people who are so desperate to win that they want to run some sort of do-nothing build which thrives by just auto attacking for 100 (no offense to bunkers – someone has to do it).

So playing as a 5 man team is just not really practical. And playing conquest OVER AND OVER AND OVER again (and you dont even add new maps lolz) is BORING. This isn’t league of legends. Really…

And they refuse to address any of these issues. 15 points for a kill would help to make pvp less of a total bunker-fest of lameness. You have all seen epically skilled players on engi/warrior/ele in different peroids of gw2 and how they all just do so much for their team by rushing far and bunkering it till more bunkers can arrive. How about 15 points if they die. Actually make the risk reward of the game more sensible.

Or you can just leave things as they are. Eu is meant to be the “active” part (NA not active) and you have about 8 teams (including casual teams). So that is 40 people. Well played. 4 million to 40 players. That is horrendous. Truly horrendous.

Nobody will read this from anet and nothing will ever improve. Is there even anyone left? They all leave because they know this game is going nowhere from a pvp perspective.

I agree the server should get tickets according to their final rank:
gold 1) 2’000’000
gold 2) 1’950’000
…
gold 6) 1’800’000
silver 1) 1’750’000
…
silver 9) 1’350’000
bronze 1) 1’300’000
…
bronze 9) 900’000
Then distribute the tickets a server earned equally among all people that finished the league2 achievement on that server, e.g. if 10’000 people on blackgate finished the achievement and they ended 1. That’s 200 tickets per person.
If EB ended 24. and they had 1000 people finishing their achievement they get 900 each.

For that of course it would be better if all server would play in one large swiss-league. Then you could even distribute tickeckts to servers based on the points the earned in the 9 rounds (between 45 and 9), e.g. 50’000 tickets per point earned.

Now that there are reward tracks and dungeon reward tracks, why there isn’t a level-able fractal reward track in which you can obtain ascended armor/jewelry as final reward or, perhaps, a chance of getting a fractal skin?

Consider you buy 4 lottery tickets and another person buys 2 each month and the other person gets way more money back than you and even hits the jackpot once. Would you call that person tagged for luck?

And I get that. The MMR matching isn’t great. I’ve ended up in some frustrating matches before with people that will all flock to home, and then all leave after it is capped. But we have to work with the system we have, and provide feedback to Anet. Not take it out on these players who really don’t know any better.

If we want that to change let’s look at the root cause of the issue : Matchmaking is flawed. We know that we get matches where the people are of vastly different skill levels. We get matches where one side is all condi pu mesmers. It’s frustrating no doubt. But we have to provide feedback and offer solutions that are well thought out and not anger based.

The problem is that there is no great way for a player to learn how to do PvP at this point before jumping into the high end matches. Hotjoin teaches them the mechanics of maps, but also reinforces bad habbits like zerging. Taking away the phoney point system I think would help to lighten the zerg teaching. We are constantly told this is a team format, so why do we have individual scores? You either win or lose. And the points are awarded for doing things that oftentimes don’t actually help your team.

Those are the types of things we need to do though if we want things to get better. Not hate on newer players.

Only a WvW player asks for the waypoint timer.

Only a WvW player has suffered multiple falling deaths because they are running around with their map open.

I should image a mystic forge sollution for this. Gift of battle+original piece+vision chrystal+ xy ecto = original piece in ascended version.

Wtf…your first post gets closed almost instantly, so you think it’s a bright idea to repost the exact same thing again?

Since the patch lots of people went to PvP. They’re mostly new comers.

The problem is not pairing, low skill levels, queues or whatever. It’s how “elite” players react.

There’s not been a single game without some troll with toxic attitude. I had to turn off chat because I got so frustrated with all the comments.

New players will learn how sPvP work if you help them! Not if you insult them.

Read what the dev said here : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Appropriate-Pairing Same as I did.

“That said, there has been a huge influx of new players, and this is likely what you are noticing. They are likely going to need some time to learn the ropes and figure out how to play. May I suggest taking a patient, mentoring approach?”

And people who are trying PvP and don’t like it will leave in a few weeks. Other players will understand the game better.

We play this game for fun. If you don’t enjoy it at least don’t pester us with it. You can always go play any other game, and there’s plenty of them.

Azukas.1426:

whats broke with it?

Only one joker per thread!

Rejoice folks. No dungeon runs. No daily rewards. No world boss chest. No jumping puzzle reward. No crafting timegated materials.

Really, I think they’ll offer No compensation as well. I expect they’ll just fix and say it’s too bad for all our time wasted. I don’t post on forums much, but this time this is too much. You gated all the rewards from contents behind time wall and now that wall is bugged and not lowered properly.

I would expect some form of band aid solution in the meantime but I don’t think they would give us any…so yeah, I wouldn’t hope for anything much after tomorrow’s reset.

Fine, if dev team does not have time for this fix, I wouldn’t have time for this game either.

i would rather have more players in pvp having fun even when they are noobs than you toxic guys posting in this tread here

when you think you should get better teammates than you should play better to get higher MMR – when you can´t than this people are exact like you

have a nice day

Nope, they are all fine. Diminishing returns is the worst mechanic ever to hit an MMO. No one should be forced to have their skills work less then full strength simply another player just hit you with a similar skill.
