(A) small points good. keep them small pls kthxbai.
(B) no. keep them small as it is now.

Is Revenge of the Capricorn even in the map selection anymore??

i haven’t seen it on map selelection after patch for 5 games now. Probably bugged, hope they fix it soon only 2 weeks for capricorn achievements left

I double checked and Capricorn should appear even though it is no longer pinned in unranked.

please have separate queues for these 2 maps.

dolyak rune is fine as it is.

dh is fine as it is.

death match is good.

conquest is boring.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

There’s a bug that pops up occasionally for reasons no one has been able to replicate (making it hard to permanently fix).

However, it can be fixed by the following:

• Wait; fixes itself eventually.
• Close GW2 and restart it; fixes it often although not always.
• Close GW2 and launch GW1. Start at least one character. (Optional: enter the HoM in EotN, but not sure that matters.) Close GW1. Launch GW2 — I’ve yet to hear of this not fixing it.

Also, please use the in-game /bug reporting tool. That provides more details to ANet about when/where it happened, that might help them figure out the root cause.

thanks!
i’ll try it out later.

also, i received an in game message saying that i wrongly received the gods walking amongst mere mortals title blah blah blah etc.

however, i never had that title.

just 31/50 hom points, so only up to the “closer to the stars” title.

please give me back my hall of monuments achievements and titles.

i have 31/50 hom points

https://hom.guildwars2.com/
character name: deimos tel arin

now inside gw2 i have 0/50

this is unacceptable.

please help.

thanks!

Josh Davis.6015:

We’ve been talking about personal score a bit. I’m personally of the opinion that it isn’t representative of a player’s effort in a given match, and it also can be incredibly misleading and potentially lead to bad gameplay habits (5-capping home).

If you were to redesign personal score, what would you do? Does it track different types of stats? Would you want your personal stats displayed to other players?

lets keep it simple and show Kills / Deaths instead.

SneakyTouchy.6043:

Why would they alternate back and forth after 3 games? That’s a lot of pip loss. That’s 6 games for every 2 pips net gain each side, 90 games total. If they allowed one team to blow from the bottom of ruby all the way to diamond, that’s 15 games. They’d use the safety barrier of diamond to boost the other team. That’s 30 games total, no pip loss. Not only that, since the games are rigged, they’d probably blow through them very quickly and finish at least one division per night.

They should probably cut it from ranked if only exploiters are using it.

hmmm you are right, but how will the diamond team vs the ruby team after wards ?

but how do you get through ruby and diamond with this ?

hmm
say at
0/30 ruby

group A 5 players lose 3 games, 0/30 ruby
group B 5 players win 3 games, 4/30 ruby

group A – win 3 games, 5/30 ruby
group B – lose 3 games, 1/30 ruby

group A – lose 3 games, 2/30 ruby
group B – win 3 games, 6/30 ruby

group A – win 3 games, 7/30 ruby
group B – lose 3 games, 3/30 ruby

well, its gonna take a lot of games i think.

dragon hunter traps are fine as it is.

portal range 5000 is fine.

the size of capricorn is fine as well.

you need to make adjustments.
you can’t have everything.

warrior shield is fine.
it has been buffed before.

i dun want them to buff it cos they may over nerf it later.

the turrets also get destroyed very easily.

maybe if the skill has a 60 seconds recharge time instead …

Rules
Only these amulets are allow: Viper, Zerker, Marauder, Destroyer, Assassin, Seeker and Carrion (Necros Only)

why only limit carrion (1200 condition damage 900 power 900 vitality) to necros ?

you included assassin amulet (1200 precision 900 power 900 ferocity)
but not rampager ? (1200 precision 900 power 900 condition)
as well as sinister (1200 condition damage 900 power 900 precision)

Runes & Sigils:
No healing power runes are allowed
No stacking runes are allowed (e.g. bloodlust)

i think you meant no stacking sigils. just a minor typo error.

i.e.
No stacking Sigils are allowed (e.g. bloodlust)

the disconnect needs to be at least 2 minutes before the match ended in order for the remaining non partied together team mates to not lose a pip.

it is not the system’s fault if you do not bother to click on it for more details.

Archon.6480:

…and threw us into a tank full of piranhas.

See image:

Maybe instead of Nerfing DH, just leave it alone and give us the following amulet:

1050 Power
1050 Precision
600 Toughness
600 Healing

So we can spec defense against direct damage, while leaving ourselves open to condition pressure.

i think you meant

1050 Power
1050 Precision
560 Toughness
560 Healing

think your dh can survive with base health of 11k with only 560 toughness and 560 healing ?

they would not allow both toughness and healing together.
maybe a vitality variant instead ?

1050 Power
1050 Precision
560 Vitality
560 Healing

that amount is fine and balanced.

Darknicrofia.2604:

Map needs to shrink by about 25% first.

Size is fine

probably next season after some fixes (if any)

sophiewhite.3149:

Fluffball.8307:

He’s complaining about the amount of effects that proc without the player doing anything, like the endure pain trait.

I think the reason they exist is because it makes beginners able to compete instead of just insta-exploding.

so wheres the necro endure pain trait? ok what about mesmers? thief’s?

unholy sanctuary.
u need 10% life force at least though

the original topic is gone ?

beast stealing is fine and working as intended.

so hows are s4 emerald matches at the moment ?

for high mmr players, average mmr players and low mmr players.

come share your s4 emerald matches experiences !

so how exactly does s4 match making works ?

like in s1 ?

find 10 players within similar pip range then shuffle them accordingly ?

i.e.

red – blue
9 – 10
7 – 8
6 – 5
4 – 3
2 – 1

total
28 – 27

AllNightPlayer.1286:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

did they ?

Hmm, maybe it was wishful thinking of A-Net finally doing something right.

yes, it was very wishful thinking of you.
they said they discussed it, they never promised anything.

any big changes such as this will probably be implemented in the next year, not this year.

did they ?

Josh Davis

Tomiyou.3790:
Also, Josh, the way the current legendary backpiece is rewarded (people needing to cross divisions) should be changed if you make divisions more representative of skill, as most would get stuck in a division, unable to climb further = no more progressing divisions. Otherwise not all people could get them. I’m fine by that, but I don’t think majority will be-

Yep – this has been part of our discussions, and ties back to:

Make leagues feel more rewarding after you’ve placed in your appropriate division

witcher.3197:

-1 to +5? So you’d take an already carebear system and dumb it down even futher, nice.

Either -5 to +5 or it’s a joke of a suggestion.

did you even read what i wrote ?

- 3 is stupid because some players in your team may have a much higher MMR than they deserve, and they drag down your team and causes your team to lose horribly, how would you feel ? -1 is for any loss is fine.

+ 1 for a win is stupid, especially if you fought against a team with higher MMR players.

there should be more pips won if fought and won against teams with more higher MMR players.

So if I tank my MMR whenever I hit a new tier/division I’ll get free 5 pip wins? Sounds healthy for the game.

if you tank your MMR, you will lower your team ’s overall MMR, resulting in the other team have a lower MMR as well.

if match making is working as intended, both teams would have similar MMR and results would be -1 or +1 most of the time.

necro scepter is fine and balanced.

lets just leave it at that.

Cynz.9437:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

why dismissed ?

Cynz,
why?
how come ?

Because with this system they would get to legend within day or two while soloq players will take ages to get there due to how system works (forced 50/50 w/l ratio).

but if they have high MMR then they would only get +1 pip from wins if the other team have lower MMR right ?

why dismissed ?

Cynz,
why?
how come ?

if your team lose:
-1 pip and try harder next time !

if your team win:
+1 both teams of players have similar MMR
+2 other team have a bit more slightly higher MMR players
+3 other team have even more higher MMR players
+4 other team have much more higher MMR players
+5 other team have really much more higher MMR players

discuss !

otherwise, using s1 match making is just pure kitten.

edit:
perhaps i was not very clear in my first post. the extra pips +2 ~ +5 are only awarded if your team won a fight against a team with more players that are higher MMR than your team.

- 3 and + 3 is just horrible.

both the match making (determines how many low MMRs you get in your team) and match prediction (determines if you get -3 or +3) are just horribly kittened.

at least make it

- 1 and + 5

maybe only for official servers by anet.

if the 10 people can arrange to farm themselves in the official servers then let them be.

well actually “fighting off points” is not match manipulation especially if your team control the point nearby and you simply “fought off point” to quickly kill the opponent before he / she can actually reach your point.

RegalRed.3720:

I USED … not played against … USED Guardian in pvp with a trap medi Longbow build and I felt like a GOD (sadly).. there was probably no reason for anyone to even come near me since once the traps hit them they either melted, or if they could get away, I would simply shoot them once for the kill and reset my traps for the next person. Something that happen in about 7 out of 10 matches is that the other team would simply give up on the point and not even bother since the build (which I have seen others using) is insanely cheese. Even if my health was dropped down to half or a bit lower .. I would somehow heal to 100% in the blink of an eye, meaning that my opponent who put in the effort and got me down low, while getting low himself will not recover his HP as quickly as I will and will most likely lose the fight. Not to mention one match where I tried a Burn Dragonhunter Build, same thing happened.. no one botered going to the point after a while and with only 7 stacks of burn, if my opponent was unable to cleanse, it would only take 4 to 5 ticks to down them. There is no way this is Balanced in the slightest.

I’m making this Topic because I like a challenge and I like a fight, not having the upper hand simply because my class is, without a doubt, stronger and simply makes no sense to fight.

sure, you had great fun in hotjoin right ?

try playing dh in season 4 till legendary and then come back and tell us how you did.

or you could also wait for the dragon hunter to place new traps.
if the dragon hunter places new traps, the old traps will be gone.

they are called traps and not marks.

you can see marks.
you cannot see traps.

well you can see the dragon hunter placing the traps though.

nope. this is working as intended.

they said 5 vs 11111 will not happen

5 vs 221
5 vs 23
5 vs 2111

is fine and working as intended.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

i think many people that complain dh are too powerful are mainly hotjoin players.

i just did my pvp daily in hotjoin just now, the opponents died very quickly to my dragon hunter.

i was using paladin’s amulet and not even marauder amulet. 0 ferocity so critical only hits for the base 150% damage.

OMG, confirmation right here, DH so OP he can 100-0 players with paladin’s. No ferocity necessary!!!!

Nerf DH ASAP plees, Anet.

nuuuuu dh are fine and balanced no need nerf XD
it is those hotjoin players fault not the dh XD

weird dream i had.

i was playing pvp on the forest of beasts map.

but near the mid point, down the keep there, the tombstones or closed off crypts there, got some renovation.

you can pick up some kind of artifact at the surface, then take the artifact and enter the crypt, go deep down inside, drop the artifact, to disable the opponent’s home capture point.

disable as it, they cannot capture it at all, the point is neutralized permanently, well, for some time i guess.

i think i woke up before i got to know what happened.

gw1 ’s diseases condition passes itself to everyone
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Disease

“Condition. While suffering from this ailment, you lose Health over time. Disease is contagious between creatures of the same kind.”

“Concise description: You have -4 Health degeneration. Disease is contagious between creatures of the same kind”

contagious between creatures of the same kind means everyone will get it. since guild wars 1 only have humans as playable characters.

the bell as an important landslide mechanic is fine.
keep it that way.

also, mid does not have direct access to the bell, keep it this way.
mid is basically a shared home in this map since going to mid is faster than going to home.

people need to learn to ignore mid and play and hold sides and rush bell in this map.

Templar’s Amulet:
1050 Power
1050 Healing Power
560 toughness
560 Concentration
yeah i think they (anet) would deem this tanky because it has both toughness and healing power.

cleric 1200 healing 900 toughness
crusaders 1050 toughness 560 healing
both were removed because both have both healing and toughness
seems like having both healing and toughness is a big no no for them (anet)

having both healing and some (560) vitality seems fine though
menders 1050 healing 560 vitality
sages 560 healing 560 vitality

Monk’s Amulet:
1050 Power
1050 Concentration
560 toughness
560 precision
^ seems fine to me.

Priest’s Amulet
1050 power
1050 concentration
560 vitality
560 precision
^ a vitality variant, nice!

Saint’s Amulet
1050 Precision
1050 Concentration
560 Vitality
560 Ferocity
^ not sure what this amulet is trying to achieve. ferocity without power seems useless.

Prophet’s Amulet
1050 Precision
1050 Concentration
560 toughness
560 Ferocity
^ a toughness variant but why ?

Dwayna’s Amulet
1050 Power
1050 Concentration
560 Vitality
560 Healing Power
^ seems okay

R O C.6574:

I like it except the approach from spawn to mid is easier on blue team imo…

well, mid is not really important in that map.
it is better to hold both sides instead.

If I play against you I’ll be sure to keep mid since it’s not important to you lol

sure, hold mid while our team holds both sides.
you do realize both sides have a direct and faster path to the bell while mid does not ?

Khainz.6215:

Sometimes I really want Steam to take care of gw2, probably the would make it way better than ncsoft.

ah, you mean valve software right ?
hmmm well dota 2, cs go did have incredible success as pvp games.
