Guild Wars 2

what happens if someone gets a DC and is not comming back, but my team still wins the game?

ye give top leaderboard people cash so they can nolife even harder. ESPORTS

but srly. i guess rerolling to the old leaderboard with the new pvp system would be nice. The main problem with the old leaderboard was the decay system. but if we play with leagues —> monthly reset of leaderboard, it may be fine. or at least 10 times better than the current one

Hey

my old team (pwn) disbanded . thats why im looking for new one.
I play guardian and wish to stick with it (dps or support)

i search a team with nice and good people i want to play esl and wish to have a team that is good enough to compete in it.
Dont be shy just wsp/mail me and we can see if it works out

rank 50, winrate 30% alone. gg leaderboards

thats a perfect example what shouldnt be high ranked. why are there even leaderboards?

Edit: lol he deleted his post

BlueDragon.7054:

If they don’t change it, if im not mistaken, someone could even get to the leader boards with 0% wins… Even if there s no one with 0 wins now, it s just wrong that it s a possibility in my opinion.

If someone never wins a match eventually their odds of winning will be always 0-39%, so as long as they can get more than 300 points they can keep climbing the leaderboards.

A group of decent to good players can troll the lb getting to the top with 0 wins if they want.

To explain it better if a group of 5 good players lose on purpose eventually they mmr will be so low that their odds from winning will be so low also. And they will always play against players that are new to pvp or that aren t in a full team. So they could keep getting +1 or + 2 if they get to 400 and then let the other team win.

I dont think that someone will try it, but even if no one does it, it feels bad to know that it s technically possible that someone get to the top with 0 wins.

oh my god, i need 4 other people to do this with me .D

but srly, this shouldn’t be a thing. I like the idea that a team is rewarded for playing good even if they lose. But i think it shouldn’t give points losing, instead it just shouldn’t give as much minus-points for losing a close game instead of losing 500-0

its 1 min delay
its in the esl rules as far as i know. if a player wants to stream esl matches he has to put 1 min delay on it.

You want to be able to farm newbies? Yet everyone complains about the quality of the matches.

i already have 500-0 every match (since the new que came out), i dont see any difference except for the points i get and that i would get much faster ques again

pls give everybody even chances at the start of the test season and reset the mmr. Right now top players will never be able to achieve more than 1 point per game. Their mmr is so high, that they never get a matchup they should lose —> winning always awards only one point. While the top players already got long ques (bc no one else on their level is queing) they get also punished bc they can only get 1/3 of the points other players can get

Cigar.4807:

So, it has been a week. Any ETA on the llama handout?

the question is what we should do with these llamas. its time for new minis. i already deleted 2 from the Tog/tol and still have 3 codes from gamescom. Maybe give them hats and each time a new color or something like that

i guess leaderboards are not perfect yet, there are some things that may have to be changed so people with very bad mmr are not top. But i think best is to wait for the testseason. Once its over we have enough data to actually see what is wrong and what is good.

thx justin
i guess the 1 point with 2 wins is just a bug, or maybe i dced or something idk

If i win a game, but i dont win it with 500 (instead the time runs out), can i lose points in the new leaderboards?

(in the game we only decap the enemy and didnt fullcap for fun(TeamDeathmatch))

With the new changes to the que/charswitching we need build templates even more. I think this one should come with the 2. december patch. The other stuff we get is great and i love it, maybe some tweaks to the rewards at the end of the season are needed, but of course its only a test season so i guess i will be happy with it

some kind of solution could be to not get dishonor when playing with a full group. people who play with a full group rarely leave during a match. If they do its mostly due to dcs. If they really ragequit they get punished by the players they play with (they wont take them anymore)

Is it allowed to switch chars before the game starts? if not we need build templates with this update. Some comps just dont work and its sometimes needed to switch builds/chars

Also seeing the current amount of DCs i think about a minute of time to reconnect is needed

i would love it, we wouldnt get this lags after every LS update. Also a pvp only client for Lan tournaments like WTS would be nice, but it seems like alot of work.

what happend to sindrener and tom?

normal cups are random (the one with gem prices)
the Go4Gw2 cup is seeded (the one with money prices)

i hardly call that a balance patch. One skill per class? Seems like they put a lot of effort in this to keep us thinking they do regular balance. And it wont even affect any of the problems (mightstacking, dd ele, celestial, Shatter Mes) the current (EU) Meta has

The balance is okish right now, but just doing a “balance” patch to make people believe they balance often is poor

just gonna leave “skyhammer” here
my reason to avoid soloq

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAW5dlsApfntCxWI8DRBDRkjNYnFOedRSAA-TJBHwALLDA4JA0b/hBXEAA

the link gives you the most used support-guard build out there (some little things may be changed, depending on the guard using it)

I wanted to give you a bit critque for your support build, but sadly except for the weapon and amulett choice most of your choices make no sense to me.
Shelter>Healing breeze bc it wont get interrupted
Signet of mercy active takes too long, the allie will get stomped
the other two can be used but i think a guard should run atleast one stability
also using two consecration and then not going for the trait..
Tome of courage: you can go for it if you really want, but then take the stability trait for it
sigil choices make no sense for support
traits are kinda random

pls dont see this as an offense. Its good to make your own thoughts about builds,. But a good thing is to go first with meta builds to kinda learn the class and then when you got some knowledge think of changes to improve it for yourself

He asked anet to buff it

MarkPhilips.5169:

I hope they can add seasons and league or it’s a total fail.

What they announced in 2 days is more than most of the pvp community excpected from them. So we should be thankful about that and the we should say that the patch is a fail at all

To the league thing:
It would be cool to see it but i think a leaderboard rework will do fine too (just a permanent decay). I think there are not enough teams for a league system. Just look how easy it is to get into top100 teamq leaderboard. Also its kinda hard to do a league system for teams bc that would nail teams down and delete pugging

And to the people complaining about having no “middle” ground skill based reward:
I am pretty sure you can get parts of the set at the ToG. I think they will hand out a full set to the winner, maybe 3 parts to the second and so on

+1 for a keybind for selfinterrupt

(btw on engi most of the kitskills can be interrupted by switch weapon(which drops the kit). But ofc that wont work for conjured weapon skills because you would lose the weapon and it also wont work for downstate abilitys)

People need to learn to play more as a team. necro shouldnt be a 1v1 class its a class to be in a teamfight just like mesmer. necro has great condiburst und utility (corrupt,plaque). If People try harder to protect their own necro im sure it will be viable.
Its just as good as mesmer. Giving Necros more mobility or disengage isnt a good idea in my opinion. Every class should lack in some points to make teamplay essential. I think buffing necro would end up in having op necros again, but maybe it would help to fix some things with supporting necros. So i would suggest to improve the UI, so people can see if the necro is in DS or in his normal healthbar or maybe let heal and regeneration work even if the necro is in deathshroud

Amaterasu.6280:

“A bunker guradian shuts down a necro”

/thread l2p

telling on of the best necros in Eu its a l2p-issue

I agree, that i would be great to give us rated 2v2+ leaderboards for that. i did some 2v2 with friends to train for esl and it was a lot of fun, we nearly played 2v2 the whole day. But as much joy it will bring for most of the people i see why anet didnt implement it yet, bc there are some serious issues/question.
First and most important one is: How can they prevent people from trolling? Esl cup works so fine bc its forbidden to run douple bunker and cheesy traits like PU. for a rated 2v2 without enemys with a bit of honor, you will get a lot of douple bunker stalematches and people with alot of stealth running and kiting all the match.
Second thing is Balance ofc. The game is Balance around 5v5 conquest(!). its not balanced for 2v2. There will most likly be some kind of cheesy op 2v2 combinations. Also hardcounters are a big problem
Third issue is, that doing a 2v2 q would most likly split the (little) pvp community even more, but maybe it will also bring more people into pvp, still its a risk for anet

Still i would love to see a 2v2 rated q. I hope anet can find some solutions, mainly for the first issue. the other 2 arent that bad. Also i would like to have a 2v2 leaderboards not with playernames, but with teamnames

i agree, that engi is a easy target in a teamfight, but if you like it and i suits your playstyle (andyou re good with it) you can still play it at high level. it may not be the best choice but its not unviable. Engi got good buffs from the sigils but still lacks the same counter. if you buff it so it got less counter, it will be OP for sure

nice guy who plays a really good necro Pug with him and test him in your team ! (but dont let him play war)

i think the solution with temq-leaderboards is a good idea. Make a statement (as soon as possible), so everybody knows whats up, and then they have enough time to get a good enough rank in the (teamq) leaderboards

edit: you may make a thread where people who want to help you can join you. Its not that hard to get into top 300, so if you could handle 64 team, no one could complain (even pve/wvw players would have a chance). It would mean that top 320 or even worse could participate ( not everyone in top 300 will join this event)

65-70 would be perfect

(a rank 49)

Most people who are happy about the changes (which i think is the majority) dont say anything in the forums. Only people who see some flaws (there a some minor flaws in my opinion but nothing dramatic so far) post on the forums. Or people who have expensive weapons and dyes. but this will settle bc it should be one of the better patches.

So i think the answer is both mob mentality and that happy people dont complain in the forums

@Belzebu
i know no player can get me an answer i hope that maybe a dev can clear things up for me.

@morsus
I wont be too shocked either, but i think its leaves a bit of a bitter taste on this update.
But to be fair, before that update we couldnt do anything with the stones so the give us 3 to 1 convertion for free. Still i would be sad bc i deleted a whole stack of those

I really like the new wandrobe and the new dye system, but i am a little bit concerned about the way we get trasmutation stones and crystals in future.
So my question is:

Will we still get some with dailys and map completion, or will they become gem shop only?

Pvp roadmap to Pve

they just give feed us with promises till we quit or go to pve

we may get a little balance patch next year, if we are lucky war wont be op in 2016 then.

srly if they need 3 month to just remove glory (not even giving something intead), how should they be able to give us something like ladders, rewards koth/tdm ?
I think they will just keep us at the game with little promises till we all moved to pve or quit the game

did you read what i wrote? if they would have changed the cd of the healing turret, there would be a new number. i didnt see a new cd for the healing turret

anyway, instead of discussing, lets just wait till a dev confirms

i think the change only affects utility turrets.. The healing turret would be stated under “healing skills”
also they gave every turret a new cd, except the healing turret. so i guess they dont change the healing turret at all (which is good in my opinion bc theres no reason for it)

correct me if im wrong, but i didnt see something about the healing turret in this notes

Hey
i just wanted to tell that the dodgeroll seems to be bugged. Normally when you dodge you got a short invu frame where stuns and direct dmg wouldnt hit you. A few
weeks ago i often got stuned when i thought i dodged in time. Well because i cant be sure, that a actually dodged in time i just thought i wasnt fast enough or got lags.
To be sure i tested it with a friend with hambow, and he hit me sometimes while i was dodging. I got rupted in the dodgeanimation and slammed to the ground. But because i also dodged some i again thought it could be a bug or a lag.

But 2 days ago i got it again. And this time it was obvious, that it was a bug and not a lag. A thief used his elite venom and stuned me while i dodged. I got set in stone with my asura while the asura was doing the backflip animation. and the stun was long enough for me to clearly see, that i was “standing” still midair with the body in a horizontal position.

I hope you can get something out of this wall of text and fix this problem soon, because for me (as an engi) its a huge gamebreaker if i cant rely on my dodges (with all this wars around)

Also if some people who read this and also have this problem it would be nice if they can confirm it. so they know it actually is a thing

Edit: sadly i wasnt fast enough to make a screenshot

edit2: i also saw some things like getting stuned with stability or getting feared (not with corrupt)

Liewec neraly told everything. the only thing missing: dodge. The real mesmer dodges. Thats probably the easiest way to tell who the real mes is.

thats what i want! a unranked que instead of hotjoin. So you can try out different classes and builds in an environment like a real game, without getting zerged. If i try it in hotjoin i can never tell if i get better with it. if i try it in soloq i get destroyed because of the rating and i also lose this rating

its not only clicking. i have to spend all my glory on salvaging them. But to be fair: it would be mean to get another reward for it. That wouldnt be fair to people who opend their chests

Bump again

-its a shame. Legendary Auras should stay when switching to a kit.
-The Footprints are a joke compared to others. A Quip or a Predator got like 3 footprints you cant even see in most places while others got 10-15 shiny footprints.
-and pls change the way a predator is holded. right now its like a machinegun a a shotgun. but it has the looks like an Sniperrifle. So pls give it the animation of the Warrior F1 skill on autoattack
- and a last point: why did they, instead of giving us new animation removed some?. Today i saw that my granades on toolbelt are no fireballs anymore

1. Warrior -its time to get them balanced

2. Engineer- they still have several bugs (traits and things like bigolbomb-radius). they may need some tiny buffs to some builds and some nerf to other (Decap). Also the legendary aura shouldnt get removed when you swap to an kit

3.Thievs -Perma evade(i have no problem with fighting thieves, but the time they can get by chaining dodge is insane)

i would like 3v3 but maybe not deathmatch (because it would end up in a stealth heaven for condimes and backstabthiefs) instead a King of the hill with one (!) huge cappoint(a little bit more than graveyard)

Archaon.6245:

I still had to time blocks and dodges

one main problem beside not killing the engi is, that these knockbacks are instant. so what you did is “timing” your random dodges, great job. the enemy engi just was bad and probably hit in your stab. against a decap engi its mostly luck and some quick reflexes with stunbreak (which you may have. i dont want to saw you re not good. i just want to tell it wasnt because of you that you dont get decapped).
I think the problem with the knockbacks cant be solved because you would take away something important of the engi (knockbacks are also defense for some builds). So if they would change Ar to something like: remove all condis when entering 25% hp it may solve the problem. Condi classes like other engis or necros would kill the decappermore often. They will probably still get decapped but they would kill him. Or maybe they should change the automatic medical response (inventions 15). this may be one of the main resons why necros right now cant kill an decapper. normally you just have to apply your condis at 40% hp and look how he dies. AR wont help him. Thats what you do with bombnade engis with ar. This 15 points trait however saves the life of the engi then.

Edit:
I dont think the bomb buff is the reason why so many people are running decapper. many dont even use bombs. Engi gets nerf nearly every patch. So its not the nerf which brought them up. Ive seen decapper a year ago. It just wasnt that popular. Mainly because Burst setups can handle it better. A mes and a Thief kill an engi in seconds after his toolkitblock. Same with necro and thief. so they can rotate (maybe with portal) and then beat them on mid. Also you couldnt run a decapper because against burst setups your mid wont hold 3vs4 long enough.
So in my opionion there are 3 things bringing up decap engis. first because there is a more tanky meta, second because it just got popular (it was there the whole time) and last but not least because there are many engis who cant play something else right know. Backpoint engis got a hard time (it still kind of viable but it got harder) and burstengis are not viable. I cant tell you a single 1 v 1 which is a freekill for an engi. You may got a better change against thief, but they wont die if they are not stupid because they can leave. and they can still kill you with luck. Necros, Wars and Scepter/focus ele are hardcounter. A Ranger is even, same on mes, a offguard got a chance although you will probably kill him and an engi is even again.

i would like the idea to ban bunker guard. this would change the setup completly. right now it may only be a turnament with less played existing builds.

i understand that its hard to play without bunker guard, but i would like to see how people would handle this issue. maybe with a bunker ele, regenbanner war or midbunker engi.

so you are rank 1 soloq, tell me more about the game …

srly what is this post?
i dont think you said anything thats wasnt said a hundred times. so what is this thread about?

to be constructive:
i can only tell you about the engi-pov and i dont think they need to change ar or incedary powder. engi is balaced well. hes not op and not really up. so why change it. you can outplay ar and engis have a lot of options so there is enough skill needed on higher niveau. why change something that isnt broken?

lyssa in my opinion should be like: convert all condtition into boons not remove all and give all boons

thief for sure has a little bit to many evades. if you watch a thief 1 o 1 they sometimes just evade without anything happening. and the chain 4 evades. thats too much. but it isnt easy to nerf it bc you destroy them with a nerf really quick
