Guild Wars 2

trapper runes are fine.

the dh will still die anyway.

did you try to use trebs to kill both the ele and the npcs ?

also, there are very few players who play stronghold at ruby division and higher.

i think the match making system is trying hard to find players of similar MMR to you, hence, the slightly longer queue times, as a result, you noticed that you went through mid sapphire without much resistance.

what profession build traits weapons utility skills amulet runes are you running ?

ah what profession build did your smurt amber run ?

oooo its 8:31pm gmt+8 over here.
ah we are 12 hours apart then !
so it just happened on US server ?

hmmm emerald.
by the way, have you tried playing reaper?

i find it that, being able to quickly down and stomp / cleave down my opponents helps a lot in winning through emerald and sapphire. XD

playing reaper helps me achieve that.

well they both do have pretty bland looking armor though.

ah, i see 8.18am .

what is your time zone, US or EU server ?

ah, what division was this in ?
and the time ? in gmt

my main is a warrior.
but now he’s a mule.

my reaper is my main now.
both pve and pvp.

rise is 36 seconds with trait, and 26 seconds if rise manage to hit 5 targets.

quite easy to hit 5 targets if team fight or versus reapers with shambling horrors or versus mesmers with lots of illusions (clones and phatasm)

for me rise! keeps me alive.

for some reasons the shambling horrors can survive until the timer is up.
that is like 25 seconds ?

6s protection boon can be very easily removed or corrupted, life force is easy for reapers to acquire.

the only way to remove 50% damage reduction from rise is to kill all the shambling horrors or prevent them from attacking.

or deal so much damage until the shambling horrors die due to shock.

Shovel Face.4512:

I’m sorry but maybe you should educate yourself. How is it that you do not know that you can play your main class and switch to an alt class if ur team is winning by 150+ and still get credit towards to Prof. Achievemnt. It’s ridiculous how we are nearly a month into season 2 and ppl still don’t know this. Heck how the heck did you not know this in season1?!?!

i think the bigger problem is that OP ’s main profession is being shred into pieces in normal ranked games.

can’t swap professions for achievements if main profession can win games right ?

Ithilwen.1529:

Make that 5 games. this one was 513/32. I’m getting flamed and told I suck. Having a great time in this competitive and prestigious season.

what division tier are you in at the moment ?

what exact mesmer build are you running ?

i’m just reached 10/30 ruby anyway.

AivenPrimus.9184:

@OP,
2) If I am not mistaken, if you are sure that your team is winning, you can just switch to ’’other’’ class, just before match ends, and it will count toward that class…
(Or maybe they changed it for Ranked)

i think they still have not fix this.

hopefully they wont fix it though.

it is a good workaround for us players.

you can play your strong profession and if the game is in your favor and your team is stomping them good, say leading 400ish to 200ish then consider swapping in the other profession for achievement when the game is almost ending.

Zietlogik.6208:

2 ways:

1: They were partied together
2: The pool for stronghold players was so low it lowered the threshold for MMR placements

Zietlogik nailed it

how to use the mini map ?
how to rotate properly ?

share and discuss !!!

why the pvp great sword hate ?

yes, at blue team, it is possible to slip, deswai you need to be careful.

on blue team its kinda similar as you can jump on the roof tops.

by the way, that path is not indestructible as you claimed.

a single treb shot will destroy everything, sealing off that short cut for the rest of the match.

Luto.1938:

Had this happen last night as well. Couldn’t get the stomp because the downstate person was running away in downstate lol.

ahahah yeah this happened in one of my games as well.

the downed mesmer was running away.

fortunately i put him down for good after lots of necro scepter attacks.

hi hi everyone.
it has been a while.
i am finally in ruby division now.

and the discussion continues !

they should improve the win streak bonus !

well i encountered this in one of my matches as well.

the mesmer was downed, the health bar is darker red, however, the mesmer is seen up and running away, not downed animation.

but up, and running away!

well, i kept blasting with reaper scepter until it died for good.

godsie.2864:

is there any point to this thread

well, just me expressing my happiness in reaching ruby division.

there are way too many negative topics in here.

some positives would be nice yes?

why you kept playing dragon hunter ? : /

brannigan.9831:

Of course your not the only one. Its always the people that cry that post. The happier people are not going to post how much they like it for the most part.

well i did post that i was happy to finally reach ruby division XD

well, in that case, i think the one swap sigil of leeching is not showing up in the combat log as well then.

Shylock.4653:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Belial.9350:

err yes ?
-_- ;;;

hmmm it doesn’t show up in combat log ?

According to the wiki
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Sigil_of_Blood

Bug:
Neither the healing component or the damage are recorded in the combat log. However, the effects are triggered on critical as intended.

ooo ya ya i tested it out on the training npcs.

at 0 healing power, 453 green number shows up.

its working !

okies, i just played another 2 games, 2 more wins, settled the league dominator – elite 6 wins in a day achievement !

all right , that’s a lot of gw2 ranked pvp for me for this day.

i had enough !! !

good night everyone !!

Belial.9350:

err yes ?
-_- ;;;

hmmm it doesn’t show up in combat log ?

Furajir.3815:

I know! =)

Hotjoin is the new try hard meta

aaah all right !

i’m a fellow hotjoin hero anyway !

happy humpday !

whats humpday btw ?

is pvp sigil of blood working ?

-_- ;;;

but … but … its hotjoin !!!

well, each fight can only have 3 outcomes for those who queue solo or with a partial or full team of 5.

1. opponent team higher MMR
2. opponent team lower MMR
3. opponent team same MMR

well, maybe more than 3,

1. opponent team very much higher MMR
(omfg we get rekt hard, no chance of winning)

2. opponent team slightly higher MMR
(close fight, but in the end still lost)

3. opponent team same MMR
(close fight, almost fair fight, both teams almost won or lost)

4. opponent team slightly lower MMR
(close fight, but in the end still won)

5. opponent team very much lower MMR
(omg we are murdering these poor souls wherever they go!)

PowerBottom.5796:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

nah.

they will not bring back things they removed.

You certainly put a lot of effort into your well formulated comment, but just because things haven’t happened so far, doesn’t mean it’s impossible for them to happen.

but given their track record, so far, nothing they removed have ever came back. : (

anyway, regarding the pvp tournaments we had 3+ years ago since launch, i tried it out a bit, it is good fun!

but the queue do take a while, as the system needs to find 8 teams first or 40 players.

round 1 – 8 teams, 4 matches, 4 winners
round 2 – 4 teams, 2 matches, 2 winners
round 3 – 2 teams, 1 match, 1 winner

forest
foefire
kyhlo

or was it
forest
kyhlo
foefire

ah i forgot.

good times!

Ayrilana.1396:

Yeah. Parts 1 and 2 progress together.

hmmm but i just completed part 3 and just unlocked the part 4 achievements.

Crimson Shi.5047:

/15charrslol

aaah, quite fitting as ruby is red color, and errr well the red color kinda rhymes with hell theme right ehheheeh.

eeeh, question !!!

i played 4 ranked games today, had 4 ranked games wins, and i just unlocked the part 4 achievements after these 4 wins.

in the part 4 achievements, there is this “league dominator – elite” which require us to win 6 games in a day.

can i still get it if i attempt to win 2 more games today? since i already had 4 wins today, but those 4 wins were before i reach ruby and unlocked the part 4 achievements though.

nah.

they will not bring back things they removed.

aaah i see !

thanks Chaith, BeepBoopBop, Saiyan !!!

yeah, in my last loss on the foefire map, our team kinda spread out, and yeah the other team practically camped our home the whole game, scores were kinda even from start till 100ish 200ish 300ish though but they went for our lord and its over.

i guess this means home is kinda very important in foefire map ?

hmmm since i already have 4 wins together, i might as well try and get 2 more wins later tonight in order to clear the league dominator – elite (win 6 games in a day) achievement as well.

yay i’m finally reached ruby divison !!!
i’m so happy so i wanna post it here !!

played 4 games (usually i just play 1 or 2 or 3 games per morning during the 1 – 1.5 hour when my 14+ months daugher takes her morning nap) this morning since around 11am (gmt+8:00 so its 12.23pm here now, wednesday 23 march 2016) , won 5 games in a row.

then i noticed, the part 4 year of the ascension achievements,
the league elite,
the one that require us to cross 4 divisions
it wrote
1/2 (total tiers 4)

so i guess i only need to reach ruby in season 3 to clear this cross divisions achievement then ?

initially i thought we need to
s1 ruby
s2 ruby
s3 ruby / sapphire
s4 emerald / sapphire

to clear that achievement, since a total of 10 division crosses are required i.e. 1+2+3+4

must be a nice bug, hope they dun fix it!

Rezi.7082:

Sorry I haven’t played in a while. The place you go to do pvp arenas. Heart of the mists or something?

yup !

the pvp lobby aka heart of the mists!

what stats ?

in sPvP, everyone has base
1000 power
1000 precision
1000 toughness
1000 vitality
0 healing power
0 condition damage
0 ferocity
150% base critical damage
4% base critical chance to hit with base precision score of 1000
0 expertise
0 concentration

the total stats change depending on what sPvP and runes we equip .

how do you get your solo q team mates to …

rush the foefire lord together ?

many times, i experienced a loss because no one wanted to rush the lord at 350 points, the other team rushed our lord and we lost the match.

is there any trick to rounding people up to rush the lord ?

CntrlAltDefeat.1465:

Hopefully this gives anet some idea of how many players are losing pips, despite having a team member disconnect during a match.

I’ve had it happen to me personally 3 times now.

I believe the idea was that if you have a player disconnect, and your team loses the game would be counted as a no contest and you wouldn’t lose a pip.

when did the player d/c ?
right at the start or middle or end game ?

i think pip loss only prevented if the d/c player fail to reconnect within 2 minutes and before the match ended at 500 or greater or 15 minutes time end.

nope.

a lot of “pre mades” are just a casual group of people who just partied together.

not necessarily on voice communication.

in game team chat text communication probably though.

Lexander.4579:

plz no more legendary pve bullkitten obtainable from pvp, it only draws more trash people into pvp who go afk, rage or simply grief other players

that’s easy to fix.
just form a team of “real” players and go farm these “trash” people.

making a full premade to stomp the game full of soloq players? thats low, disgusting and shameless

nope. working as intended.

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

If they were to do armor (say an armor that matched the back piece maybe?) that would be nifty. (And I do think pvp having a uniquely skinned legendary set is a good idea)

Unfortunately they’d either need to stretch out the time it takes to achieve (2 pieces this year, 2 pieces next, or some such) or they’d need to make the requirements more stringent. Given some of the requirements for the back piece…. I could see a lot of people up in arms either route they went.

in pve legendary armor will be created as a whole set not piece by piece. meaning if they do that in pvp it will be the same.

aaah that’s nice to know!
thanks for sharing that!

Emtiarbi.3281:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Emtiarbi.3281:

I don’t think its a good idea, those legendary armors should be obtainable on PvE imo.

why not ?

I consider that should be more on PvE and WvW than PvP. What i would like to see its more reward tracks with skins unique to PvP, we already have the Glorious Armor, i want more armor/weapons PvP exclusive pls!

glorious armor is of exotic level only! i want precursor ascended level armor sets that can be upgraded into legendary ! XD

and they could be pvp exclusive too!
