It helps if you actually read the pop up message explaining what has changed, oh and also they sent you an in-game mail.
It’s not ArenaNets fault you mindlessly clicked OK and got lost with th eupdate.
New players get confused if there are 3 different builds in the game. A far better fix would be templates.
Stillness is a lot more powerful than tranquility, because at least with tranquility if the entire enemy team zergs it all you have to do is decap side points.
Certain drops are region specific and certain loot boxes contain a higher ratio of getting a specific tier 6 materials like scales or totems.
Elementalists are the flavor of the year now.
Doing something like this would be like coding an entire new game, I do not think people grasp how long or difficult it is to code such things.
I have yet to see any afk people in solo queue solely just for rewards, you are being a bit overdramatic of the situation. And even if people did AFK (which they do not) their ranking would reduce to the point where anyone who is in that bracket is really bad at PvP.
Fair enough, I suppose I embellished that particular point. (Even though it’s not exactly the topic of this thread).
I have however seen several soloQ matches ruined due to afkers.
But another thing comes to mind which makes it hard to even read any opinion you may have. Why is it that you feel players who may not be so good in pvp don’t count and it doesn’t matter if they are having a bad experience due to afk’ers or whatnot?
95% of the playerbase who participate in tournaments would not be affected if people just afk’ed every single match and forced a loss. That is how the rating system works, you will keep losing and you will face against other who also keep losing.
A person who AFK because they are losing is much different than a person who just afk’s because of rewards. The whole reason for capping rewards in hotjoins in the first place was to prevent bots who AFK for rewards.
If you notice someone consistently afking in solo queue, you can report them for botting (as no sane player would just play the game to sit in the base every match) and they will be banned.
One thing you can do to win against the enemy team is to decap far base, but don’t necessarily capture it entirely as it takes too long. It only takes 3 seconds to decapture a base and neutralize it. If you sit on the point to cap it, you can chose to defend it but it ends up being a waste of time because they will simply respawn and zerg home point and no one will defend with you.
If you run portal you can drop it at the center point and run far, decap it and teleport back.

I was in an epic match and it came really close and we were fighting at stillness, and instead of using a magnet pull I walked into the hole and they got stillness and we lost.
Yes, as long as you did sufficient damage which is around 5% of their health I believe. But you should also know that your score does not affect you reward at the end of the match, The only thing required to get credit is 5 points. You shouldn’t be concerned with your score as focusing on it doesn’t necessarily benefit the team; like standing on a base that already has someone standing on it would not benefit your team in any way.
Fractals and PvP award shards as well
Well, you could buy orrian jewel boxes.
They have around a 15% drop chance off shards and also drop Karma at a rate of around 50% used, making the drop chance 30% per 4500 Karma…14.000 Karma for one + the other Items which can be some gold.But actually, due to Megaserver the community is bigger and those events should be done more often I would guess. Maybe look for some people and clear the event when it get’s up?
Biggest problem with megaserver and temple runs is there is not set schedule anymore, so unless you spend an entire day in the zone your odds of being in a temple run is slim.
Better solution is just to remove the scoreboard entirely as people consistently think it matters on these forums even though everyone is rewarded the same.
Who are you trying to impress? Hotjoin people? Seriously, no one cares those hotjoin people are not going to remember your name so why get upset that you’re low on the scoreboard?
I thought that scoreboard rating was also the bonus of points rewarded to you for ranking/sPvP reward track. Or am I missing something.
I agree that the scoreboard could use some work, I would prefer to see who did the most damage/healing/death/kill count.
Nope, everyone is rewarded the same. The only difference is the small rank point bonus at the end of the match, that does not increase the progression of the reward track in any way.
Making it show kills would only promote elitism and make the scoreboard worse because people will just focus on the scoreboard and end up insulting their teammates for being ‘useless’ for having a worse score.

Steal (2k) + Cloak and Dagger (2-3k) + Backstab (7-9K)
Borderline overpowered right now, the only reason you guys are doing low damage is because of warriors. A better adjustment would be is to nerf warriors.
Looking at the the activity of the bank, looks like the guild he deposited to might actually be dead where the leader actually quit the game, in which case you could try a support ticket but I doubt anything will happen, at least it is worth a shot.
617 days old an still playing…
Best way to avoid newbies is to get to top 1000.
The reason I am having fun is because of the matchmaking system. This is amazing compared to random arenas in guild wars classic, where there was no ranking and the team without a healer always lost except in rare cases.
I am trying to run home point defender as a ranger, since I am working on champion hunter and I can only run home point. I have been trying spirit ranger but I l run into the situation where I last a long time but usually I am unable to kill anyone.
Before I would run minionmancer at home point and pretty much never had to ask for help and never die. But now that I got the champion phantom, I would like to start working on champion hunter.
This topic is exactly why PvP rank recognition was removed, It;s because of people like you that blames the loss on low ranks, regardless of their skill level.
I got blamed for being bad and low rank on my alt account in Europe…

Clearly didn’t play GW1…
I actually did, unfortunately the development during that time was superior as opposed to now. It could be the fact the Guild Wars was instanced rather than persistent so it might have been easier to code such things.

Just compared your ‘real’ LB stats with the website you say is inaccurate.
Everything is exactly the same, and of course it shows you as having played 0 to 1 games played starting a few days ago.
You did not play 200+ games.
If you want proof that the website updates for players not currently in the top 1,000 I’ll gladly link you several players of whom it keeps track while their not in the top 1,000.
I figure you would say this, if anyone wants proof go ahead and add me to friends ^.^
Always open your boxes on a level 80. Not only does the loot scale off your personal level, but your odds of getting extremely rare item (i.e precursors) are decreased on lower level loot so you’re only hurting yourself.
Except if you were playing these 200 games you claim to it would actually show those games on the website every single day you play EVEN if you’re not in top 1,000.
9,000 isn’t a rank, it’s a place-holder for anyone who has been top 1,000.
So if I understand you correctly you’re saying that that website won’t show your games played if you’re not currently in top 1,000? If that’s your claim ill show you plenty of people not currently in top 1,000 that are still displaying games played won and lost which has been updated every single day despite not currently being top 1k.
My point being it shows you as not playing any. Though there is a glitch where it won’t show your games played if you only played 1 that day. Since you’ve played 200+
Then we should be seeing about ~20 games played per day based on when you made that post.When you add me to your friends list at work, and notice that my Leadboard stats are different simply because I am not in top 1000 what will you say then?
You know you can post your pvp pie chart with games played to completely settle your “uncounted games” argument and it will speak for itself.
Except they would claim its photoshopped, plus I am at work.
Also I have games played before leaderboards even came out, so the numbers would not be accurate. It would state I’ve played 3k+ tournament games.

Im heterosexual, and my MMO characters are almost always females.
Females usually have the sexiest looking armor and tbh,
if i am going to spend long hours looking at a character’s behind,
it might as well be a female’s behind.I’ve heard this argument with some frequency, and part of me dies every time.
It shouldn’t. It’s perfectly natural. Males are genetically programmed to be attracted to healthy female characteristics (unhealthy females tended to die during childbirth in past ages, so genes to ignore how a female looks got selected out). Just like females are genetically programmed to be attracted to males who are capable of protecting (strength) and providing for (wealth) a family. Nothing sexist about it. Those are just the traits which yielded a greater chance of survival of the offspring.
OTOH, if they treat you as if you’re nothing more than your physical or financial characteristics, that’s sexist.
Stating its genetically “programmed” really shows that you actually do not grasp sexual attraction at all. There are far more factors in attraction, genetics only plays a small part in it. (I.E Homosexuality, where as one would not be attracted to the same gender)
In regards to this argument though I always laughed when people claimed the reason why they played females, but the fact the matter is most of those games had capes or robes, which covered the back end region anyway.
Yes but other factors are induced by genetics. Sexual attraction is induced by sexual hormones. Recent research shows that individuals who just had normal dose of sexuals hormones during their embryonic development, are naturally heterosexual. Homosexual individuals undergoing abnormal hormone doses.
Either mutations are natural, such as blue eyes are from a genetic anomaly.
That research has yet to be proven, I assume you are referring to the androgen research where the more children a female has the odds of it being a homosexual increases by 33% due to hormone deficiency.
But its not consistent with research because females remain the same sexuaility regardless of the hormones found during development.
Sexual attraction at this moment is a mere mystery, no concrete answer. It’s affected psychologically and physiologically.

Just looked at his stats and games from the past two weeks. Lollll just no…. Just no…
Yeah im not believing that 100g nonsense either.
Not only that. Since february he has only played 1 team Q game and 0 solo Q’s.
Maybe he got an item worth 100g… LOL

Your stories become increasingly more difficult to believe… For example you posted this a day ago:
I have played over 200 games since patch and have not experienced this bug?
So if I am understanding you, in less than 2 weeks you’ve played over 200 games but lost so many that you couldn’t break the top 1,000 which is ridiculously easy to do. That being said, even if you played 200 matches but lost so many that you couldn’t hit top 1,000 how did you make 100g and 20% of mats?
Losing that many matches, even in tQ, you’d get no where close to the amount you’re claiming.So please, show me the error of my logic train. I’d like to be magically rich like you.
Oh and I just tested out your theory of it not updating if you’re not top 1,000 by checking people on my friends list in your situation and there’s are updating just fine and for current rank it just lists them as 9,000. So… there’s that too. Let me guess, it’s just broken for you, right?
I am not sure why its not including my rank from long ago, but in the situation here I was floating around the top 95% for quite some time. I would win some and lose some. I don’t see myself breaking top 1000 in team arena because I am playing with friends, people who have never PvP’d before.
Also take in consideration there are far more players in the ladder now, so unless you were already in top 1000 to begin with it is increasingly difficult to easily get top 1000; especially when your teammates are scaled off your own rating. You essentially have to carry your teammates until you start to get educated players.
I have made over 100g, if you refuse to believe that someone could get more valuable items then there is no purpose of even replying back to you.
I also did not state that I got all of my materials from PvP, I was roughly 20% complete with the materials because I had materials saved up prior to the patch; I just didn’t care about a legendary until now.
Your attitude in regards to how “easy” it is to break top 1000 is self-centered as reaching top 1000 requires you to be in the top 4% of the game; I could make the same claim against you saying how easy a physics degree is to get because it appears easy to me but that is clearly not the case. In any case though, statistics are fairly accurate. Roughly 94% of the players who do PvP do not reach top 1000, and if getting a physics degree was easy… then it would not result 6 figure jobs as often.
So you do admit to lying about playing 200 games post patch, right?
Since, you know, you haven’t played a single tourney game since February.
I have played roughly 200 games since patch. I just haven’t broken top 1000 for it to register my rank. Those websites run spiders that pull data from the leaderboard, it can’t tell who played tournaments if they are not in the top 1000.
That’s funny because it works for my friends who are not currently top 1,000.
How about when I get home I add you to my friends list and compare your total games played to what is listed on that website and then I’ll definitely see your 200+ games when I can see your record from the LB friends list function.
I’ll even post a screenshot of your record and apologize for doubting you.
It lists as 9000 if they are unranked, as you can see from my stats on that website. If that website was accurate… there can’t be more than one person exactly rank 9000….
Here’s the difference right now
Current Wins: 619
Current Losses: 548
Previous Wins: 572 Difference +/- = 47
Previous Loses: 502 Difference +/- = 46
Total Games = 93 [From Team Arena]
Unfortunately, I cannot post my Solo Queue stats. I have actually broke top 1000 in solo queue last night and because of that my stats updated on the website, so there is no way to prove that I played that much.

Or, they will just AFK the match and it ends up being a 3v5 and seal the fate of those who are still in the match.
Terrible idea.
Hi guys, I want something about agony damage. How it exactly count on the game, cos I had search on web, still can’t find the answer. And does agony damage count in wvw or it just useful for the boss?
Very confuse about these.
Thanks for help
I am confused here… you said you looked online… but I searched google for several ways to type out “what is agony damage” and the first result literally explained to me what it does…

I honestly think the system is fine, tournaments should reward more to increase participation.
I have only seen this issue during world events where there are thousands of players which cause this multiple map gap.
Other than that, I have seen my guild members doing events outside of major ones with no issues.
If the prompt comes up to join a tournament, you are required to play the match until it finishes. You can cancel it prior to that, so there is no issue here at all.
A better solution would be to make sure that you actually want to do tournaments before clicking queue.
It’s only happens after joining the Mists…But gold sellers must have to buy the game xD so +profit for Anet and easy ban for them and then rebuy the game
If you are being whispered by an account with a non gibberish name, it means the account was “hacked”. So the players that they are banning are actually legitimate customers who lack common security measures. They actually end up losing money, because they have to unban their account and pay someone to restore those items.
If you are reading this topic, do not be the guy who uses the same password for e-mail and their video game you are just asking for trouble. All it takes it to steal a GW2 account, use the exact same password for e-mail and approve the request to log in.
There are way too many uneducated users in regards to computing security that the gold sellers have thousands of accounts at their disposal.
I seem to only get spam until after I visit the heart of the mists. It appears most of the bots hang out there, and being that it is mega server’d and the popularity of PvP now… it makes it easy to spam people.
Because people would blame their loss on the lower ranks and it was causing a negative environment, so they removed the ranks at end of match.

Still don’t see the point of the heart of the mists when vigil keep allows you to deposit things in the bank and browse the black lion trader. There is no restriction to queuing for PvP in PvE maps.
I got gold spammed from heart of mists and I’m not even registered on the leaderboards for top 1000, so they more than likely just whisper people in proximity.
So now that there is incentive and rewards for PvP now, I have noticed my entire guild which cared less about PvP in General has now decided to run team arenas and it seems everyone is having a great time, especially since they removed most of the champion trains and getting loot is actually viable in PvP. I have made roughly 100 gold since the patch and about 20% complete with the materials needed for a legendary.
If only this came out sooner…
GW1 dishonourable wasn’t half this bad because a) GW1 had better servers and a more stable client b) the timer was a lot shorter
Actually it bad because the timer was so short. You could leave games in Random Arenas quite a bit and not get punished for it. If you think leavers are bad here, you clearly did not play random arena in Guild Wars 1
I vote to keep this armor restricted.
I have played over 200 games since patch and have not experienced this bug?
They have several times. If you wish to play with your friends, get a better computer or do hotjoins.
If instead you wish to have fun with your friends, play another game.
Like GW1.
Guild Wars 1 had dishonored as well, and it functioned exactly the same if you left a match.
