Guild Wars 2

My advice is don’t stockpile chests.. you’ll end up with a crazy situation like Supermang or marvin who had 3500 chests to open last week….. you might think you’re getting a good deal with your extra 20-30% magic find, but really you’re gonna get carpal tunnel.

quick rename it to poll

:/ I dunno, If you think your argument holds water put in a ticket.

I frankly don’t see it, there was multiple references to the glory going away, the merchant being temporary till the new system is in, and that the new system was coming on april 15th.

More then that, there were multiple warnings to open chests get every skin possible and also use up any crafting mats because they would “disappear on log on” in multiple dev posts.

Just put in a ticket :/ how much glory did you lose? Depending on how many people were actually effected by this problem, maybe they’ll give you a small refund of some kind like 3gold per 5k glory ( which was how much they gave us on christmas)

I have a friend who lost 600k glory, but he was like ’hey, my fault"

I agree, We should hide AP, end AP discrimination ( Can’t habeeb this is actually a thing)

hahahaha that’s hilarious… Who can pve harder, oh man.. why does this even exist

Skye.4983:

Because COMMON SENSE, you don’t simply erase a currency thats been in the game since the very beginning without a grace period. And when you do, you make certain it’s been clearly communicated. None of those posts say “GLORY WILL BE ERASED.” Going away is not the same as losing it completely.

Why are you are arguing anyway? Pull your nose out of Anet’s rear end and go play the game you so clearly enjoy. I want to see a dev response to this.

There’s really no need for a dev response there has been countless blog posts threads videos which you don’t actually care to look for so neither will I.

5 month Grace period has been in effect SINCE DECEMBER. Everybody knew it.

“Going away=!Removed” Semantics, really?

All common sense points to glory Going away forever unless you haven’t played for over 8 months or just started playing 5 days ago, in which case you wouldn’t have glory.

If I was a dev I wouldn’t post in this thread you clearly can’t be reasoned with.

There’s a cap because hotjoin can be easily exploited for rewards by bots.

ronpierce.2760:

There is a flaw with letting “pros” balance the game, We saw that a bit with Grouch .

pfff When did Grouch get good ?

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/player-vs-player-rewards-roadmap/

Once this new system is in place, glory will be retired as a currency, and gold will be the standard currency across the game.

Glory Gain has been disabled for a while now. There’s hint number two.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/pvp-reward-tracks-and-gear-unification/

Here’s hint number 3, everything else relating to glory/pvp crafting is being removed. why would you think that your glory would stay?

Did you have any reason to think that it was staying?

What?.. apples to oranges,
Does anyone actually care about APs? There’s no Scoreboard involving APs is there?

Argument is invalid.

I played only as 5v5 :/ wasn’t fun for me at all

I would never play any deathmatch mode in GW2. It just can’t work.

It already does work and it is fun.

It’s pretty awful :/ imho..

PVP BANK?

mystic forge would be nice. #Givebackwhatwastaken

Rank =! Skill it was pointless before, its pointless now, Thanks Skyhammer farmers and previous rank exploits.

Only bads and newbs yell at people anyway. Block and move on. remove block in a month or two.(Otherwise during a dry-spell you have all of the 30 people playing spvp blocked, which isn’t fun.)

It’ would be cool to see an elo rating… maybe..

…….I was afraid that this would happen…..
Now I’ll have to start saving things so I can get frikken guild magic find bonuses and an “infusion”

Sub fee? nah man, that ain’t gonna do.

I’m sitting on 150 charges and I don’t really wanna do anything with em cause I only play 3 of my 9 characters :/ and I keep getting more #Anetstopgivingawaysomanytransmutesyou’reruiningthegame.

It’s a good thing! Noob is back on the menu!

People are still adjusting to the new changes.. does that mean #esportsnow? no probably not, Esports soon? Probably not.
It’s gonna take a while before things start happening..

But the infrastructure is almost all there for new players to get into PVP
if it becomes popular then maybe Esports.

People come back during patches, I Think I had like 100 people light up green on my friends list who haven’t been on for centuries.

Sylanna.1947:

I’m sure if they were ending Karma there would’ve been a parade and an in-game “end of karma” event to ensure everyone was well aware.

Actually they did end karma consumables working with %modifiers and there really was no messages on the forums the socshmeat(Reddit/Facebook/Twitch) and they did refunds,

But in THIS situation There were MANY MANY posts on the forums, Reddit, facebook, Twitch, and word of mouth if you didn’t log on for a long long time and didnt interact with people offline then it’s not anyone’s fault.

You should check it out see for yourself, definitely worth that, I got back 3 days ago I’m pretty happy and will continue to play.

They posted links to the podcasts :/
There’s countless dev posts if you go back far enough, You have to go back pretty far.

You’re the type of people they put “Warning, may cause holes in clothing” stickers on firearms for.

People have been complaining for years now that sPVP receives no content because it’s sibling PVE makes the most money, now that sPVP makes some money from PvE noobs (Yes, hardcore pvpers don’t actually care about dress up) You folks are complaining?

A lot of players are trying spvp now: Big plus,
Gem store buys means more money for development: Big plus
Lots of new Features (and upcoming templates? I hope?): Big Plus
Allowing Pvp Players to make gold/get access to rewards easier: Big plus.

As far as I Can see you guys don’t give two kitts about SPVP and wanna just play pretend dressup online, here let me help you with that apply skins> Put items in the bank > Transfer items to alt. Job done.

Beorn Saxon.4762:

they NEVER mentioned you’d lose all of your stored glory and the glory merch would be removed.

They did. I answered such a question many times in this sub-forum and I got an official response from a dev through a PM.

You should have simply asked.

That sounds like a great system. Every player come to the forums and individually ask and hope that a dev sends you a PM. Wonderful idea![/quote]

Literally no; they’ve been doing twitch podcasts which have said that glory is going away for MONTHS now, as far away as before I took a break from the game.

This thread should have more replies :/

Thanks gw2devs and Lesh-Prince in particular, this patch is good, and it feels good.

Pvp community has become even more salty then the dead sea.

Beorn Saxon.4762:

Rezz.8019:

They have been telling us to spend glory for like 2 months already. Don’t blame Anet for this one.

I dare you to find that post. There have been posts, but never did they clarify we’d lose saved glory and the merchant.

….Twitch casts, dulfy reveals, the devs have been pretty emphatic about Glory going Away completely. “Spend your glory now, it’s going away”

I just got back from a 6 month break, and even I knew glory was going the way of the dodo.

Wait.. so we should buy all the amulets/runes/sigils on each character now? :/ or will those become like obsolete amulets..

40% population increase my cat, maybe I was 5 days early but we played the same team 6 times out of 7 matches yesterday (primetime).

Because Spiritwatch is a stupid map that’s completely broken mechanic wise.

Necro/thief Run signets. raise speed to normal runspeed.
Ranger/Warrior can Run the orb way too efficiently.
Guardian can sanctuary/block pickup the orb 99% of the time.

Spirit watch is literally worse then skyhammer in my eyes..

I think some of the datamined information seems to suggest a “dungeon token”
system for pvp…

Perhaps somehow linked with magic find?.. therfore salvaving items or opening chests can yield crystals?

Cool vidya enjoyed it.
#Esports2016

Leaderboard for achievements the most hilarious thing I’ve ever encountered in any game.

’oh man this guy must be really good at doing dailys, and also minidungeons"

There’s like two ways to look at this, one is
A)There is no objective way to measure skill, therefore Leaderboards Mean nothing.
I.e “getting top w/e isn’t really representative of any personal skill level.”

Which is probably true for the most part

B) There is only one objective yet flawed method of measuring skill in GW2 and that is the Team Que Leaderboards, if you’ve made it to the top 1-200 you can play gw2 pvp well but there is still no way to truly tell who is the best. If however you are unranked in all leaderboards and are just a hotjoin hero, you can safely say you’re untested and most probably awful.

Still there’s a lot of anecdotal evidence people like to provide like
“No one even plays gw2 you’re good among Kitteners”
“All the Good teams quit already”
“EU has the only good teams” (replace with NA when OP is an amerikitten)
“I was really good at one point and no longer play, and you’re bad even though I haven’t played against you in a year”

OP is unranked on all leaderboards even achievements btw.. so.. I don’t even… know what he does in gw2

PS. It seems almost no one actually read the OP and just the title, and jumped into a discussion about pvp rank which used to be skin unlocks iduno what it is now.

*P.P.S. Soloque is super casual and random. and can never be used for any sort of objective calculations.

I welcome this change.. maybe make friends and make pug teams so we can fight other people? Fighting 20 rounds with one team is really stressful.

I thought I could get atleast a stack of these glory things down by having it up at all times.. but then I decided to open some chests. GG anet; I’m never going to get through these….

Go and play an eviscerate build :/ you’ gon have fun.

Vids or it never happend.

Ive left mid fights half done to decap farpoint; gotten downed on farpoint and instarallied from kills at mid…

Feelsgoodman

Right now .. market data suggests you actually make money making dyes :/
OR atleast break even .. most of the time ..

200 glory per consumable = 22 silver~ = roughly 55 gold…
250 dyes is 25 Yellows which is atleast 25 gold + Minor rares 40~ 5 gold and around 2 gold worth of crappy commons so you only lose 23 gold per attempt but if you hit any of the really good rares like abyss celestial black white or good minor rares I think you’ll break even most times and make money.
So far my sampling is limited though :/ and mostly here say like yea man I got 6 abyss out of that stack bro..

But if it’s any reconciliation unopened dyes are over 22 silver per… so.. it’s a tough call whether or not they are actually deserving of that price tag..

haha newbies don’t know about legacy tournament wins/losses, anyone who played before the leaderboard has counts that utterly dwarf the leaderboard.

What you could do.. is .. craft a million items.. and then salvage them for magic find.. and then do it again… o_O

I usually sit around 100-200 rating in team que… so .. no.. the matchmaking would not work the “same way” as soloque.. I would pull my team’s rating to close to the middle of the ladder and I’d be facing a constructed team with 5 randoms.

Same way when we pick up someone’s friend to carry in TQ we get wvwvw teams for the first 5 matches straight then back to getting stomped by super strong teams.

Team arena provides more rank points if you win, good luck winning until you’ve completely tanked your rating…..

Edit; Maybe it works different on EU? I see you don’t have a team que rating and only que solo.

Skyhammer is casual
Soloque is casual
Team arena is semi-constructed/hardcore

See the difference?

#SkyhammerStays2014

Solo que is completely random and anyone has a 50% chance to win…
for dem rank points and tourny chest..

#Allisvain

Hopefully next stream will be better, I was looking forward to this too..

Templates > Are they coming? if so , 2014?

Mesmer > Is the direction you’ve been taking going to continue? i.e more buffs for phantasm builds?

Necro; any chance of changes for Scepter/Signet of Spite i.e 2buttonwinmachine?
Minionmancer; Anything planned for this 1v1 wonder ? which is now meta?

Yea give us a useful elite like the Spirit of nature please.

Did no one actually notice it was 5 TOTAL wins? :/ gg stop saying 8 already

I main mesmer.. the only problem I have with the class is it rewards mediocrity.

Right now phantasm mesmer is so strong completely awful players can run it to great success, Same thing with minionmancer.

Why’s this bad for the class in general? Mesmer is now viewed as a super low skill class if the whole playstyle revolves on ai spam and blinking off point to ether heal up. Even if you run a high skill required variant like full glkittenter people still look down on you as AI spam master.

Why don’t I run it? Self respect, oh and my team can’t run a phantasm mesmer.

Minionmancer Bm/Spirit Ranger and phantasm mesmer are back in a Big way :/
Anet likes these specs and for some reason keeps buffing them to the point that they over power specs that takes any amount of skill to play.

“But what if there’s a minionmancer on point, then you’re really screwed aren’t you?” Jon Sharp State of the game interview
“Minionmancer isn’t meta and never will be” -Xeph

Who had the last laugh?

What? .. Mesmer is like.. the best class on hammer..
On par with Engi imho.

Listen to Olrun; one of the best warrior bunks evarr
