OK, but it’s sort of the same with when they introduced the WXP rank chests. The lootz in the chests change. There was a certain value attached to the loot in the previous chests that will no longer be attainable in that same way to the lower ranked player.

You also missed the part where going from 70-72 took effort equal to going from 1-80 post patch.

And how is future effort in a future rewards system relevant to a retiring rewards system? It takes less effort to obtain WXP rank since they increased the WXP gain too.

You will only get a chest per rank to 81. You will not get more than (81 – current rank) chests. Rank/Title achievements are unchanged.

If this is true… A rank 55 going to 80 gets more chests than a 70 going to 80? Are you serious? (25 for kitten player and 10 for a 70 player)

Because the guy at rank 70 already got the chests when he ranked up. Not sure if you are trolling….

“*Prices will be based on rankings at the start of the tournament, March 28.”

Guys, the tournament for NA hasn’t started yet! NA reset is still like 2 hours away.

Did it say in the ready up if the pvp armor and weapons being currently worn are converted too or do those also have to go in the locker?

The 2 week lockout may have started when the price changed too so it might not have been a waste. Was it changed for NA during EU reset perhaps?

I once spiked someone through a spawn tower gate.

It wasn’t a hack or exploit. They were just downed right next to the door and their hitbox reached me and I started the stomp because the game tends to treat any skill activation as an auto-stomp.

I think there’s a video somewhere of the supply yaks attacking an SMC gate. Been there awhile.

FA losing two of their large guilds is gonna hurt their NA.

They weren’t that large. Really.

Early April Fools, NA gold league is 9 servers!

Fort Aspenwood is a stable server. XD

A server near you!

Fort Aspenwood: stomping bandwagons since 2012. Next stomp will be HoD!

Good luck!

FA is not imploding.

An organized community with a wide variety of guilds.

Welcome to our new OCX crew!

No, not really. My PvP group had lag in the last beta.

Try not to be a mansplainer, ok?

Kirito should be more clear. Anet is introducing a new rewards system which involves replacing glory with something else (gold?) in order to bring games modes closer together. Also they are converting PvP skins into the new Wardrobe. As an intermediary step, rewarding glory and chests has been disabled. Read the blog posts for more info.

Constructive post:
Convert all town clothes pieces that are no longer available into mix-n-match instead of endless tonic. Dress-up dolls are big bidness.

LOL, no lag problems in ESO? You didn’t play beta, did you?

Sounds like part of Anet’s plan to troll FA into silver.

#BelieveAspenwood #RoadToGold

#ROADTOGOLD

FA’s strong EU/NA are looking for OCX/SEA guilds that want to make a name for themselves on our push for gold.

Go Fort Aspenwood! We are the underdogs!

#ROADTOGOLD

(When he says “Americans”, just imagine “Aspenwoodians” XD)

Yep, any new skins I get I convert them to PvP and put them in the locker.

I’m hoping that LS, cultural, dungeon, and gem store skins used for PvE also become available in PvP after the change…

I like Acidic Coating too and believe it is under appreciated. I use it in my WvW bunker build.

This and when viewing https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/announcing-the-april-2014-feature-pack/ the name of the month is localized to German…. März

When I go to https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/traits-unleashed-forty-new-traits-and-more/ the name of the month is marzo.

Can’t wait to see today’s blog posts hehe.

All hail the magic conch shell!

True! The SoR implosion was all part of FA’s grand scheme.

Will it make eles viable?

If you’re coming from PvE, time to set those pretty graphic settings lower. Welcome to WvW! There’s a setting for controlling how many models your client will render and of what quality.

LOL “immune, immune, immune” must be hack

The entire game is being turned on its head with the April 15th changes. As a result, I find it very difficult to form an opinion either way regarding this single gm trait and how it may or may not work.

Also, being able to examine the scoreboard from last match helps with that too

Providing better player statistics is one of the things I proposed in the Ladders and Seasons CDI. I believe that providing good feedback data like that helps players improve, gives them a path to follow for ladders.

Ryld,
Let’s keep this constructive. I’m liable to respond to you very facetiously and that would be opposite to my goal here. Plus, did you read fishball’s post?

Ryld,
It’s very counter-intuitive to just stand there and let someone kill your toon while you’re trying to read a scoreboard. Some other games (won’t mention which) allow you to look up the stats or score from the last match after you’ve left it. Even something like that would be nice. It makes for better UI design.

This is for ranked matches: Solo and Team Arena

I’m trying to read the scoreboard. It’s difficult when someone on the other team has the bloodlust and keeps attacking.

Also, it would be nice if people’s info who were in the match stayed on the scoreboard after the match is over rather than disappear quickly when they leave the match.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. People don’t transfer because of the placement in the league. They transfer because they want to play on a server WITH MORE PEOPLE. Case in point: look at the recruitment posts where some OCX person says they want to be on a server with good OCX coverage.

The old pricing structure didn’t reflect that well since population was based on total server population, not WvW population.

That grenade condi build you got from Five Gauge’s site, didn’t you? If you want to learn how to play it, the best thing to do is watch his videos to see how/when he utilizes skills. It’s very difficult to play someone else’s build that they have customized for their personal playstyle without studying their playstyle.

The ratings system doesn’t account for server implosions fast enough!

By the same logic, the tourney prices that will be set based on March 28th rankings will make little sense if a server that is at the bottom of gold league gets top of silver pricing.

Consider azizul’s post too: “more unfair if the server that get huge free transfers based on march 14th rank suddenly decide to tank rank and go lower league if the league are decided based on march 28th rank”.

This is why an answer from Anet would be much appreciated.

Looking for more EU too! Our EU is well organized and fun to play with.

Several guilds have recently moved to FA which means the transition from NA to OCX is now shored up, ensuring any OCX guilds that come to FA will be in a good place next to EPX and GWAM, among others (sorry if I missed you!).

Lauranda.1342:

the xfer sale prices were set last friday…but the mid-season prices will be set based on March 28 rankings, which implies that the leagues have not been set and will be based on the last minute rankings

That is what I think too, yet the pre-season prices in NA are split at rank 12 into two price tiers, not “gold, silver, bronze” price tiers.

Confusing patch notes. :p

Just a quick note, welcome to our new transfers from BP.

What they should do at this point is change up the league divisions.

Yes, please look at this. SoR’s implosion has been distorting the ratings for the past month. Despite very close matches in T2 due to roughly equal coverage, which will make for good competition during the Season, T2 servers run the risk of being wrongly placed in Silver. No one will have fun.
