- matchmaking is still broken, 5 random pugs solo Qing going vs double pro league Duo and still losing -20 , or getting 1600 MMR players in my game when I was1850+ makes no sense, fast Q times make matchmaking a lot worse
Population of the game is not high enough. With such a small sample size this is bound to happen no matter what.
Please dont put this map in the ranked rotation. Right now there’s plenty of people who vote for the map but then, if the selected map isnt capricorn, they simply disconnect or go afk. I dont want THAT to be happening in a rated match in ranked during season.
If you want to implement the map in the ranked rotation, do it after S4 ends, so that everyone will have gotten their achievements and wont ragequit if it doesnt get selected.
the elite specs got so much sustain/damage/cc/condi on them that it feels like a cluster—— of skills and that there is no more strategy involved in actually playing pvp.
So much this. Elite specializations, right now, do too many things at once. Just take a look at reaper death shroud: #3 is stab AND fear, #4 puts high condition pressure AND deals high damage AND is a whirl, #5 deals high damage AND is a stun AND is a chillfield.
This is true for basically all elite specialization, even the ones out of the meta (and they are outside cause they are either too clunky – WH ele, GS necro – or not filling the right role – warrior shield preferred to torch cause of its defensive nature, for instance).
You can peruse the Sticky above (FAQ) for information on ‘Not Getting Our Emails’.
Good luck.
I receive all other kinds of emails from Anet. I even previously received other support emails, including the confirmation email, gem purchase and log-in attempts.
Once the ticket is submitted, you will receive an automatic confirmation email from support@guildwars2.com with your ticket number. This email confirms that your ticket has entered the support queue, and no further action is required until you hear back from an agent.
I didnt receive any automatic confirmation email, and now I mistakenly sent two support tickets (requesting the same thing ) because I originally thought the first one was not been sent because of errors on my part, while I actually just didnt get the confirmation email for neither the 1st and the 2nd ticket.
Yes, I checked spam and yes, it was the correct email address. Is this a bug or have I done smthing wrong?
Wouldnt it be cool if we had a key designed specifically to lose the target we have selected? This would be insanely useful, since the key currently used to do that (Lock autotarget) is not really meant to do that and on top of that it buggs out from time to time, which is kind of frustrating.
We changed stability so that it can only be removed every 0.75 seconds and added an effect that plays when it is removed.
1. How do you feel about this stability change?
2. Is there something else you would like to see done to stability instead?
There are fewer questions on stability than reward tracks but we encourage everyone to discuss with each other their thoughts on stability in this thread.
1. Very nice addition.
2. Yes, I would like the old boon conversion back, to further reduce randomness into stability removal.
I have a dream: a reworked eotm (less edges and pve) which would function as “borderland”, with DBL as 2nd BL and Alpine BL as third BL and, of course, EBG.
I like it but only because EVERYONE has stability in stacks now….
Did you dodge? HAVE SOME STAB
Did you evade an attack? HAVE SOME STAB
You got dazed? HAVE SOME STAB
Someone was a bully and knocked you over? HAVE SOME STAB
Congrats on your Gyro, HAVE SOME STAB.
Despite the clearly sarcastic tone, I guess that this is the truth. Right now every meta build has everything, dodges, invuln, stab, cc, damage reduction modifiers.. too much going on, too much power creep.
While we’ll be using divisions to match you against your immediate opponents, we’ll still use your MMR to place you on teams with similarly skilled players (from your division point range) to help ensure that you’re not forced to play with individuals that are of a much higher or lower skill than you.
I guess I’m God-level then, since I went from amber to sapphire in ~3h winning all matches but one.
TBH I really don’t think MMR has the correct weight into determing opponents, because in the 25 games I’ve played 24 of them felt like hotjoin.
The reduction of queue times was only partially related to quality at best. There were some configurations that were adding extra queue times for zero benefit.
7 out of 10 matches I’ve played the last two days were onesided matches, either victories or defeats.
If the match quality was not altered by the reduction of queue times then unranked itself is the problem.
How is the chance of gaining/losing pips calculated?
Are classes weighted somehow? Is legendary x1 the same of legendary x3? Is time played a factor, or is it only points scored? Is a 500-100 lost match that took 15m the same of a 500-100 loss that took 5m?
[…] chill used to be very limited and when it was applied itd only be for 3 or 4 seconds, now they went ahead and slapped chill everywhere and its rlly not fun anymore.
it would be a start if anet would boost 7sec to lets say 10 -> endurance regen is delayed and halfed.
That would not really be a solution. The problem of the new Energy sigil is that it grants a boon, not a flat out amount of energy, and thus it can be corrupted OR granted by someone else (effectively rendering useless the new application of vigor).
I’d be ok if it granted an effect like “Feline Grace”, something like “after the first dodge you make after swapping to the weapon which has this sigil you recover part of the endurance spent (15)”.
PLZ for the low of god add this amulet combination:
+1050 power
+1050 precision
+560 toughness
+560 ferocity
This will be highly desirable for rangers, mesmers, warriors, and necromancers who wish to play a power build. Currently thees classes can pick berzerker (an go full glass) or marauder to get some defence. The stat combination i proposed would be a competitor to the marauder amulet since the above mention classes have medium and high hp pools and getting more hp is somewhat redundant (not on all builds but still), but they all would greatly benefit from some added armor.
The sigil of Energy nerf is extreme, to say the least: Sigil of Energy currently grants 50 endurance which is 50% of the total endurance.
Vigor is a 50% buff to endurance regeneration, which happens to be at 5% per second. This means that having vigor is equal to a 2.5% extra endurance gain, since 5% * 1.5 = 7.5%, and 7.5% – 5% = 2.5%.
The new Sigil of Energy grants 7s of Vigor, which means that the new energy gain is 2.5% * 7 = 17.5%, which is 17.5 endurance.
Current sigil of Energy awards 50 endurance instantly
Post-nerf sigil of Energy awards 17.5 endurance in 7 seconds.
Please, just nerf the endurance amount from 50 to 25 and call it a day. The new Sigil of Energy is extremely underperfoming with respect to the current Sigil of Energy.
What do you think? Hammer revenant nerf was basically nothing. That skill would be OP even on 10s CD if they don’t nerf the damage. I hope they will at least change Cruel Repercussion.
Seriously dude ?
It no longer “double hits”, which is where 90% of the one-shots came from.
The new amulets we’re adding will be free since we’re removing a number of other core amulets.
Are you also considering updating other 3-stats combination amulets?
Or perhaps just remove them all and only have 4 stat combo amulets, which seem much more reliable, healthier and easier to balance?
Just PLEASE don’t just swing the pendulum on the other side too hard. It’s ok not wanting too much defense, but it’s not ok having too much offense either.

Another questions: what if the 4v5 is because one of the team members is actively trolling us and losing on purpose (and also admitted it on team chat)?
I’ve reported this behaviour using “botting” but if such a guy made it to legendary without being banned then it’s clearly not working.
WvW big overhaul later this year will be too late…:(
If they released the overhaul on Jan 26 that would have already been too late. This overhaul being released “later this year” is gonna be money spent for nothing ’cause WvW is already dead.
Please add better rewards to wvw so people are willing to try it out. As it is right now, the rewards are crap in comparison to pve or pvp. There is no reason to wvw if you are a person trying to get rewarded for your time spent in game.
I remember an Anet Dev saying that WvW is actually more rewarding than we think.. I’d like to know what he meant.
Hello everybody. After the September 29 balance patch the Inventions grandmaster trait “Medical Dispersion Field” has been reworked:
Medical Dispersion Field: Reworked this trait. The internal cooldown has been removed. This trait is now only triggered by your own healing, and the percentage has been increased from 12% to 20%.
What does trigger this trait? Every heal you take? Not really. Despite the fact that Vampiric Aura and Leeching Sigil count as “own healing”, basic stuffs like Cleansing Burst and Regeneration do not.
Therefore when i use HT with MDF THIS is what happens: 1) I heal my ally for 560 HP which are the 20% of “Healing Turret” (2800 heal) 2) I heal myself and my ally for 2925 HP —-> this is what should be triggering MDF but it does not 3) I heal myself for 130 using Regeneration —-> this should heal my ally as well but it does not 4) I heal my ally for 296 HP, which are 20% of waterfield blast (1482) 5) I heal both myself and my ally for 1482 + regen etc.
It’s such a terrible idea. And an obviously bad one. Yet, they did it anyway.
why? Every successful matchmaking pushes you to 50% winrate. Not being like that means having unbalanced matches.
You should complain about the quality of the matches. Having a 50% winrate by playing always with equally skilled players is one thing, having 50% winrate cause you play 1 match against hotjoin heroes and 1 match against ESL premade is another.
I don’t even want to get to legendary, I want to be demoted to sapphire.
Since I joined Ruby division I’ve witnessed the worst plays SPVP has ever offered to me.
I get matched with people triple-stomping instead of cleaving, condi necros running GS (thank god he wasn’t on my team), people winning all teamfights and yet losing the game ‘cause they can’t even grasp the very basics of the concept of “rotations”.
I want quality SPVP matches, that’s the only reason I want to get into diamond but now it’s just.. meh.
EDIT: I never thought Leagues were about skill. Anyone who thought that forgot the whole leaderboard fiasco that was a grind fest. Leagues is about grinding all the way up to where you can lose tiers. Skill only comes into play at Diamond and legendary.
You can lose tiers in Ruby. So I guess all those “Can’t make to diamond as soloqueuer” topics makes sense to you now?
D/F is much better than staff if you soloqueue. Staff is much better than D/F if you teamqueue OR if you have decent teammates, simply because it opens up many more opportunities, team-wise speaking (just think of waterfields).
Is the trait Fire’s embrace bugged? It currently says that it grants a Fire Aura when attuning to Fire, although it procs erratically, like if it had an ICD. Sometimes I attune to fire and yet I dont gain the fire aura (ofc while being in combat).
I like all the changes. There HAVE to be more changes to the borderlands though, namely:
The PvE content affecting fights needs to go away (crippling cubes, knockbacks)
The Oasis event needs to be fixed: it currently makes the whole map lags. Servers actually cooperate with each others to get the event done as quickly as possible, no matter which server does it first.
Barricades are still more harmful for roamers than for zergs: the amount of time taken by a zerg to breach the barricade is 10s, while a roamer takes 2-3m.
Balance wise:
Revenants are literally gods walking amongst mere mortals: they can currently fit every single role, from being a member in a melee train, to FP to ele party.
Coalescense of Ruin needs to be nerfed: the modifier is simply to high, and the 5 targets limit change is a fix, not a balance change. The absurdely low CD, huge range, huge DPS and horribly hight modifier thanks to the trait (+50% damage) are some of the things that need to be looked at.
Rite of the Great Dwarf combined with protection and the dwarf stance makes the damage reduction modifier so high that wells crit for 100 damage, and yes, I did not forget one zero, it’s 100 (one hundred).
Guilds now have a limit to how many revenants can be used in a GvG. If this is not an indicator of how broken it is, I don’t know what would be.
“How to butcher other builds in other gamemodes because I don’t like something in SPVP” – volume II, by Nova Striker.
You are totally not aware that there are builds in other parts of the game which use the same traits setup of builds used in SPVP, are you? Well, congratulation on killing WvW tempest, PvE tempest and WvW Scrapper all at once.
Pretty much title. I soloqueue, I get matched against a 4 men premade, we lose at the timer 406 to 434 (yeah, awesome match.. hail the meta) and I lose 1 pip. How is this even possible??
) because I originally thought the first one was not been sent because of errors on my part, while I actually just didnt get the confirmation email for neither the 1st and the 2nd ticket.
