Guild Wars 2

same prices for both 1handed and 2handed weapons is wrong.

i will not stop posting until this issue is fixed.

well, if they are being more generous, they could do it,
like, a pip for every 50 points your team scored

Wolfric.9380:

Don´t give pips on a loss ….

but that is kinda a bit discouraging though.

especially in “fair fights” games i.e. 500 vs 400 ish games or 500 vs 490 ish games etc.

Crinn.7864:

… all the PvE players are in bronze where their skill level is.

Of course the entire concept of a “PvE’er” is kinda stupid, they are no worse than any regular bad pvp’er. Of course most people just call all bad players “PvE’ers” regardless of whether said person actually does PvE.

well it is kinda true to some extent though.
at least for the few people that i know of.

for example, some people, in my friend list, i know they seldom pvp, but participated in the last season anyway, i look at their wins loses rating etc and well the numbers are not very good.

Ithilwen.1529:

I suspect you missed my point.

i thought this is your point?

I’ve learned that getting angry, frustrated or even caring merely serves the pleasure of some who can jeer and chortle from the safety of the internet.

what i was trying to say, if you played some easier to play but somewhat powerful professions, perhaps the chances of you getting angry, etc could be lower ?

why can’t you try playing other professions that you claimed that are easier to play ?

i.e.
warrior
dragon hunter
etc

Bug Fixes:
PvP League Vendor prices have been fixed.

no, the prices have not been fixed yet.

u forgot that pve players tend to have lots of characters.
they will grind each season to gear up all their toons.

relax, it is working as intended.

the pvp players get to murder pve players.
the pvp players get to get murdered in order to get their ascended gear.
this is a win win for everyone.

no one else bothered by this ?

before the patch

ascended glory shards cost
500 for 2-handed weapons
250 for 1-handed weapons

after the patch
400 plus gold and tokens for 2-handed weapons
400 plus gold and tokens for 1-handed weapons

this is incorrect.

pls fix this. thanks.

it should be
after the patch
400 plus gold and tokens for 2-handed weapons
200 plus gold and tokens for 1-handed weapons

your proposed warrior balance changes are not realistic and will not happen ever.

Ithilwen.1529:

PvP reached a tipping point and everyone just kind of left.

it is really all right since there are still lots of pve players and it is very easy to lure pve players into pvp with some pve rewards.

and you really should try playing warrior and dh as well since you claimed those 2 are easier to play.

how is your hand btw ?
still playing gw2 with primarily one hand and a special mouse ?

Magnito.6187:

They want to avoid class stacking.

they didn’t say that.

the big title reads

Profession Locking
PvP
Poll

“Profession Locking”
does not sound like avoid class stacking to me

Question
The Guild Wars 2 PvP team is exploring the idea of locking profession during queue for Arenas. Locking profession would allow player profession to be accounted for to increase matchmaking accuracy, but may increase matchmaking times.

they simply wish to prevent players from changing professions once players have loaded into the map.

actually, at the moment, players can change professions themselves to avoid cases of having 2 thieves in the team or other issues etc.

but if this change goes in, players will not be able to do that.

Yes
Yes, I want professions locked upon queuing for Ranked and Unranked arenas.

Attempting to switch professions after a match has been made will not allow re-entrance.

No
No, I want to be able to switch professions up until the round begins.

Players can adjust team composition during match warmup.

anyway, looking at both yes and no choices, it seems like they already decided to lock the professions anyway.

previously, we can still change profession halfway through the match if we want to. and now they are taking that away from us. forcefully, as usual.

fortunately, no is winning by a bit.
so players still can change profession before the match starts.

ah, good, no is winning now.

unfortunately it seems like yes is winning.

Wolfric.9380:

I support 2:2 and 3:3 game modes. The key is easy access so the button in the mists to Q for it (if you have a fitting team so grouped 2 or 3). The thing of this might be the size of the playerbase and a resulting split but not shure. I would try it. A two point arena with maybe 300 not 500 Points for the win where its fought out.

well, the 3 vs 3 modes could still use existing 3 point conquest maps.

then everyone can finally enjoy their 1 vs 1 on each points.

they already suffer some dishonor time for missing the queue pop button.

NaXorb.9732:

Currently stealth prevents contributing to point capture and holding in PVP, but I’ve been thinking that should not be the case. Unlike other abilities that prevent point contribution, stealth doesn’t make the user invulnerable, just invisible to other players, and the user can still be hit with any and all attacks and abilities.

I realize the main point against it would be that defenders would not be able to tell if there is a person stealthily attacking their point, or attackers that there is a person defending and wondering why it’s not ticking down, but that issue can easily be resolved. An idea I came up with was an indicator on the point when there is a conflict of 2 opposing sides on it, for example, the outer ring of the point could turn white and start blinking.

I would love to see a stealth change come into the PVP, especially because some classes heavily rely on it as their main form of defense, like core Thief and Mesmer.
I’d like to hear others’ opinion on this.

if u want stealth to be able to contest points,

then make them blur like in sc2, so we can see them if we try hard enough.

unlike now they are 100% transparent.

aye

ppl might actually stop complaining about team mates then.

hmmm seems like i havent played 5k games yet.

seems fair.

maybe 500 score = 500/500 × 10 pips ?

lost with 500 vs 350 = 350/500 × 10 = 7 pips ?

killed lord, won 600 vs 400 = 600/500 × 10 = 12 pips ?
200 score difference, another 200/500 × 10 = 4 pips ?
top stat? 1 pip ? total 17 pips ?

adrenal health is fine.

actually if the friend list updates fast enough we can check the friends leaderboard for the rating.

but for soem reason it seems very slow.

can only check after the match

skylink.4972:

Please dont call it skill rating its so inaccurate. It could be called skill rating if it represented YOUR SKILL but it doesnt. 20% of the so called skill rating is you while 80% of it is random 4 players you get.

But if you think that skill rating truly shows your and only your skill level, then explain, how can some players with skill rating belonging to 0,5% top players drop to skill rating of 5% in over 10 games with total games played being 150+ .

actually, only 10% is you while 40% is your team and finally 50% is the opposing team.

the actual player 10% may not be very good, just average, but due to 40% good team mates and 50% average players, the average player 10% can simply be carried by the 40% good team mates versus 50% average players.

Wolfric.9380:

Deimos Tel Arin i like your suggestion :-).

ahaha thanks!

btw i changed revenant’s one into implode cos the pulling effect seems more suited for implosions instead of explosions.

i think imma start a new topic for this.
been a while since i started a new topic in here.

say Wolfric, you play on EU servers is it ? imma on US servers.
i added you to friends list but i can’t see your ratings win loses etc.

perhaps make the 5th sudoko i mean seppuku skill unique for each profession ?

warrior – rip their guts out with their bare hands, spilling guts blood everywhere, slippery blood knocking down people nearby

guardian – explodes self into blue energy, pulsing light field and healing nearby allies

ranger – explodes self into healing spring, pulsing water field, healing nearby allies

thief – chokes self to death with black powder, causing a blackpowder blind field nearby for a short duration

elementalist – explodes self into freezing mist, pulsing ice field, chilling people nearby

engineer – blows self up, launching people nearby

necromancer – explodes self into poison cloud, pulsing poison field, poisoning nearby foes

mesmer – explodes self into purple energy, pulsing chaos field, applying random conditions

revenant – explodes implodes self into mist energy, pulling nearby foes

well we could have them elite specs have even more special finishers but let’s just dream with the basic 8 or 9 professions first eh ?

no.

traps duration is fine.

besides, new traps will replace old traps.

Show all individual’s stats and MMR + gain/loss at the end of the match.
—This will allow people to give fact based feedback, and see for themselves if the match making is working as intended.
^^^
no.
this will allow people to give hate based feedback to lower rating players.

Show individual’s MMR on your team before match.
—So you know who you may need to help out if there is a big gap in ratings.
^^^
no.
higher rated players may decide for themselves that the match is already over before it even started.

Give everyone and their pets a generic name for the match so you don’t know who you are playing with or against. (e.g. Red1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
—Prevent match manipulation and queue dodging
^^^
no. just no.
this removes individualism and uniqueness of players.

Disable map chat, whispers, and say in matches.
—Prevent match manipulation
^^^
no.

Disable the ability to see if people on your friends/block list are in a match.
—Prevent queue dodging
^^^
no.

Crinn.7864:

Coliseum achievements are not temporary. Arenanet made them permanent awhile back.

thanks!

so when the gladiator map shows up in unranked and people voted for it and it was chosen, the achievements could still be progressed, eventually ?

u can manually queue dodge.
dun queue if u see them in pvp lobby

jonemirant.1653:

Cynz.9437:

ranked and unranked have MMR, so in a sense it is rated
where HJ doesn’t

wait a minute!!!! does that mean i can lose a bunch of match in unrank and that will lower my MMR?

you may lower your unranked MMR if the match prediction determines that your team should win.

unranked and ranked have separate MMR

Ben Phongluangtham.1065:

Ben Phongluangtham.1065:

Hey folks!

Just a quick note. Sometime today, we’ll be unpinning Eternal Coliseum from Unranked map selection.

Another note: This doesn’t mean the map is pulled from rotation. It now just won’t always be one of the maps available to be voted on.

are the achievements still do-able ?

you can already use a manual black list.
add them to your block list.
give them nick names so you know who they are.

dun queue when they are in the pvp lobby (heart of the mist)

kinda hard when the list gets too big though.

is it that bad up there ?

i’m at tier 2 / 3 silver and most matches are silent.

though sometimes some team mates may rage talk when we are losing though

if the other team damage tags you enough, they get 5 team points when you log off to character screen.

Sazdek.6830:

Trash talk before the game starts as much as possible to draw the global aggro. When they realize you’re not at mid at least 1-2 will split off to find you.

but how to trash talk without being reported for it ?

the team that damage tagged the downed player gets 5 points when that downed player logs off.

Sinmir.6504:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

if it is intentional then those cannot be classified as ascended gear since ascended gear can be mystic forgeable in order to change their stats.

It has the same stats as ascended gear and can take infusions. It can be classed as ascended gear and is ascended gear. A bit more than a year ago Ascended gear couldn’t have the stats changed. It was still ascended.
Calling it not ascended because it can’t have it’s stats changed at the Mystic Forge is like saying Temple Armour is not exotic because it can’t be salvaged like forged or looted exotic pieces.

yup. exactly.
i dun treat those as exotics.

but temple gear are mystic forgeable though.

flush 4 temple gear down the mystic pool then u get a salvageable one.

if it is intentional then those cannot be classified as ascended gear since ascended gear can be mystic forgeable in order to change their stats.

top stats are fine.

you need to have a fresh flow of pve players to feed to the pvp players otherwise pvp is already long dead.

yes, please fix them to be mystic forge-able so we can change the stats!

u can start the game with 5% life force.

just use your shout heal immediately when the 10s count down.

does this mean conditions are not removed when someone is downed ?

poll closed after 8 days ?

that’s not enough feedback received.

what was the poll about.

here is my season 4 statistic :
- skipped amber and started in emerald, ended in emerald
- matches played : 2
- matches won : 0
- loss streak : 2
- win streak : 0

already done the meta achievements so i did not bother.

was playing dungeon fighter online and deus ex mankind divided instead.

just wasted 15 minutes of my life that i am never getting back.

i’m referring to the pinned gladiator and pirate map.

why was it randomized ?

previously gladiator was on the left, pirate was on the right.

now it randomizes both of them

this is kitten and ridiculous.

why the kitten u randomize the location

why
