Daily log in laurels, buy t6 mats with laurels, no pve required
Nah man your crazy, they are ONLY doing it to spend quality time with their “friend”. The extra pips and easy matches dont even cross their mind when they do this…….surely.
But they’re “just playing with friends” so its ok
What kind of vow is that? Just……why?
Why not? Staying true to a profession allows you become more proficient with it albeit you probably won’t know enemy class mechanics as well (you can always refer to the wiki).
Staying true to a profession doesnt mean you have to avoid playing all other professions like its the plague, just play your games for the achievement and then go back to only playing guardian, theres no good reason to put that kind of restriction on yourself
What kind of vow is that? Just……why?
Just wait for next season to cross more divisions and get tickets then, the achievements dont reset each season
You do realize its impossible to even make the back piece in a single season? You have at least 4 whole seasons to get tickets from crossing divisions
So you tried to manipulate matchmaking, but did it wrong by only duo queueing and it didnt work out for you……….what was the point you were trying to make exactly?
Heart of the mists is more packed than ever befor, you probably were in a low pop shard because the other instances are full
You do know that all burst skills while in berserk mode already count as lvl 3 adrenaline right?
Adding tier lose to the lower tiers would make the problem worse, all that would do is essentially make ruby division 3 times longer, alk the bad players would get stuck in emerald and then because of the massive amount of people stuck there, you will consistently get bad teams. No one but premades would progress, your solution is essentially to make the same problem happen sooner in the leagues and make it even more RNG
The crossing 10 divisions total should be enough if a timegate, the 15 days achievement is completely pointless and stalls progression for no reason
This happened to me last night, i didnt say anything cuz i figured i may have been seeing things.
This glitch has happened befor in the past, seems to have resurfaced
Can you KEEP PAYING money to continue to get stronger?
No, you cant
Its pay to play not pay to win, if you could keep buying gems continuously to increase your power or obtain some kind of consumable that increases your stats in pvp then it would be pay to win, as it stands, you buy the expansion once, your on even standings with everyone else
Its called an expansion pack
Am i the only one who highly doubts the OP didnt know this already and is just trying to start the same tired old argument of “ohmugerd why i pay twice?” And attempted to disguise it as something else?
Because i am very much getting that impression
They can fit 5 leagues in a year, but when they were referring to the schedule they will be using for leagues they used the word “quarterly” which implies 4
Hence why i said 4-5, because i dont know for sure but its one of those
If you get ruby twice you will have enough tickets for all 4 backpacks with 10 tickets left over so getting emerald in the 3rd season will earn you enough tickets for the other material
So in a year and a half you can have it…
I dont know where your getting that time, there are going to be like 4-5 seasons in a year so its less than a year
If you get ruby twice you will have enough tickets for all 4 backpacks with 10 tickets left over so getting emerald in the 3rd season will earn you enough tickets for the other material

Thats not how it works, the previous achievements dont count towards the next, in total you have to cross 10 divisions
That means minimum requirement in 4 seasons is to reach ruby at least twice and sapphire or better for the other 2
I swear the whole “hate on trehearn” thing is just bandwagoning and a result of the same concept as memes
A lot of People had ZERO opinions on trehearn one way or the other, then sometime around launch someone gave this whole “stealing the spotlight” criticism and tons of people started adopting that opinion and parroting it around on the forums and map chat, this resulted in tons of players being exposed to this opinion and rolling with it themselves even though they probably wouldn’t have even thought about it if they hadnt been told to have that opinion
I see the same thing happen whenever people like woodenpotatoes post some video discussing their opinions on some topic, suddenly the following days i will see people practically quoting them word for word and claiming it is their own “unique” opinion that they just happen to have come to
Sheeple
How is someone even against this fix? This is the single most broken thing in pvp right now, having your dodges wasted by getting knocked around by an invisible wall is not ok, this isnt a learn to play issue its just a straight up unfair advantage caused by a graphical glitch.
Ok wow this thread is full of so much disinfo
The back piece can NOT be made in a single season, the gift if fortune IS in the game, its the same one used for all legendarys.
Some of the achievements in each tier can be done at any time during the league such as the mist essence ones and the crossing divisions ones.
All the other achievements cant be done until you have completed the previous meta achievement
So minimum you will need to play a total of 60 days during league seasons, but the real time sensitive requirement is the crossing divisions achievements, for these you will need to cross a total of 10 divisions, so if anet is going to remove the achievements after a year as they have been indirectly implying, then you need to hit ruby at least twice and saph or higher during 4 seasons to cross enough divisions in time
So you think its a better business decision to charge $100+ to new players whenever an expansion hits instead of the single $50 price tag?
How many people do you really think are going to pick up a new game if its going to cost them over 100 bucks vs the amount of people willing to throw down $50 bucks for new expansion hype if it comes with the rest of the game
“Molten fuel can’t melt L.A. beams”
Nah its
“Airship fuel cant melt deldrimor steel beams”
Umm you do realize that you can only use ONE elite spec at a time, they dont have to account for ANY of these things going forward because all these things are isolated to that single elite spec
Any future elite specs only need to be balanced in the vacuum of their core specs. None of these issues will ever overlap with new specs
I suggested in an earlier thread that elites should not be stackable if more are introduced (such as no stacking berserker with ninja on warrior or monk with daredevil on thief).
New elite specs would be this season all over again and would be OP compared to the current elites.
Thats already exactly how its going to work, you can only have 1 elite spec slotted at a time (the bottom slot)

The achievements required to get the legendary back piece involves going up 10 divisions total, so basically division skipping will never happen because it would screw you over if your trying to get the legendary
This is how they should have done it. Winning 2 pips is nice but no where near nice enough to make up for the frustration of winning 2 games then losing 1 and having the pips from the last 2 games invalidated because the other team was a “lower division”
The one thing that isnt perfectly clear is whether the wings will be obtainable after the first year, anet keeps implying that they will be removed after a year and replaced with something else, so if thats the case then there is a minimum requirement for how many divisions you must cross each season to total 10 by the end of the year
The thing is though, if a lot of people have like 3/4+ of the achievements done, and then ANet just picks up the football at the last second, there will be hellfire and brimstone raining on their offices. They can’t have an achievement that requires so much grind and not let people complete it.
They did it with every single meta achievement related to living story season 1
All of thise achievements required a lot of grind and were removed once they were over and added to the “historical” section in the achievement panel
So its very possible and quite likely it will be removed
I feel like something funky is going on with the matchmaking, or maybe im just having wierd results. This week i had a 9 win streak, followed by a 5 lose streak, and yesterday i had a 7 win streak followed by a 4 lose streak
They can gateway aesthetics all they want, performance is the only no no
You don’t even need to do well to get the legendary wings. You just need to complete Amber ten times which has no tier or pip loss.
The 4th tier achievement states that you need to advance 4 divisions within a season. That means reaching Diamond. Which, by the way, noone can do reliably without cheating the system.
It’s…worded poorly, I recall you need to simply cross divisions 4 times in a season, which could mean as long as you cross divisions during league seasons you will get credit towards the achievement.
…Still waiting on devs to confirm/deny, they probably won’t and will force us to go into the 2nd season to find out.
The way it works is you need to cross 10 divisions in total, it carries on to other seasons, it says on the announcement that it will take multiple seasons to complete,.

Skyhammer can be “fun” and all and is fine just for some friendly games, but pvp players hate the map because it adds many imbalances that can throw off competitive pvp
the skyhammer itself is one minor example where its forcing you to use dodges on something you normally wouldnt have to, this so much isnt a big deal, but its when its coupled with the other aspect of the map that it becomes a problem, the holes and falling to your death
The classes in the game were never balanced around the idea that knockbacks and pulls could be potential 1 shot killers, but in skyhamer they are, some classes just have WAY more access to knockbacks and pulls than others and some classes have zero unless they run a funky suboptimal build. This makes certain classes exponentially more deadly, and sure you could just save your dodges for the knockbacks but then you might be forced to eat their burst or you may have been forced to dodge a skyhammer blast
When all these things are put together it makes skyhammer a place where certain classes get almost a godlike buff just because of the nature of the map
I think a 3v3 elimination round based mode would work well in gw2, 4-5 people would be to much and 2 too little, but 3 would allow good team strategy, like having 1 person help someone in downstate while the 3rd tries to peel off the other group and stuff like that
They would probably have to limit certain amulete choices tho
These guilds conning the system repeatedly and making a mockery of it all
Unfortunately, it’s much, much worse. Those teams do not make a mockery of the League system, because the system is a mockery completely on its own. It is designed in such a way, that cheating and manipulating the system (while deplorable) is the only reasonable way to progress through it. If it couldn’t be manipulated, and worked perfectly, nobody (besides random outliers) would ever progress past Emerald.
In short, people cheat because the whole system is broken as kitten. Which is completely, 100% Anet’s fault.
Anet made the faulty system, yes. But if you abuse a faulty system in PvE, you get a ban or, in the case of DnT, a slap on the wrist and a boot from testing future raid content. Abuse the system in PvP, however, and you’re only banned if you’re not in the “pros”. Honestly, though, if pros feel the need to exploit a broken system to farm ranks (I don’t buy the queue time BS) then my guess is they’re just covering for their own inability to win because they’ve lost their luster and are instead having to resort to what amounts to cheating to get to where they think they must belong.
Thats usually how it goes, they reached the top, now the only place they can go is down, they are desperate to hold on to their fame snd prestige and are now at the “win by all means necessary” point where they will try to hold on to the top as long as possible and do whatever it takes to stay there
No, the people in diamond should chill the kitten down for a week and play in unranked while they wait for their divisions population to increase, this is a self inflicted problem. We arnt even 1/3 of the way through the season and people have already rushed their way to the last divisions (possibly exploiting) and now complain there is no one to play with.
Instead of waiting it out they are going and making the problem worse in the long run just to get instant gratification by throwing off the balance of the division matchmaking by queing with lower ranked people which makes it harder for people to actually legitimately climb the divisions to eventually populate diamond league
Or you know they could do the right thing and just practice in unranked while they wait for ruby and diamond division population to go up a bit,
Its 1 week out of 6 and they’re all sprinting to the finish line, and because there is no one else to play yet at those ranks they are abusing the system, they are exploiting to fix a problem they caused themselves, which in turn makes it harder for other players to progress the divisions because of these imbalances in division matchmaking
Lol, always with that kind of mentality with “pro” players, “i can cheat as long as no one catches me or if i can use wording semantics to obviously abuse the system its fair”
The win at all costs mentality, its not about a fair match to them and proving themselves better, its about winning no matter what methods it requires
No moral integrity, just a lust for “prestige”

Thats not how it works, its 10 divisions total you have to cross, and it requires multiple seasons to complete all 4 metas
If they are removing the achievements after a year then its not technically true that everyone will get it eventually
In order to complete the crossing division achievements you need to reach ruby division at least twice out of 4 seasons to cross a total of 10 divisions
It says that no mater what getting the back piece will require multiple seasons, the division crossing achievements are each seperatevand cant be completed till the previous one is done, so in total you need to cross 10 divisions
So basically it means even if you make it to ruby every season it will still take just barely 4 seasons to complete because after the 3rd season you will still need to cross 1 more division, but if you can get diamond at least once it will take 3 seasons, and 2 seasons if you make legendary twice
You literally left the best part out. No major balance until Feb 1st. Enjoy.
The joke amulet they put in “Vial of Salt” is for the majority of the PvP and WvWers to put around their necks to remind you that A-Net simply does not care unless its PvE.
yepp, I’ve already invested like 20 gold into the mats for the vial of salt cuz I thaught I would need it for the Backpiece… Well, imagine how well the name fit when I found out it was for a stupid amulet I’m never gonna use.
Of course it was my fault, but it just fit my feeling that I currently have so well; like ANet was literally making fun of me and slapping me in the face for playing their game I actually enjoy for the most part, although it feels like ANet doesn’t give a flying fart about PvP. :P
YAAAAAY! ^^
You actually do need the vial of salt for the backpiece, not the amulet itself but the achievements gained from making it, the win using diff classes achieves dont progress the meta they just progress one specific achievement that does, so to complete all 4 metas you have to make those essences
You keep saying that the pvp wings arnt pvp wings because they arnt “inherently” PvP, yet you said that the dungeon armors are inherently dungeon armor because it aesthetically fits the theme of the dungeon. The pvp wings do fit the theme of pvp.
This is your own ignorance of the lore, the ascension very much fits the theme of pvp tieing back to the original guild wars, the golden style looks exactly like the look used in the gods/forgotten architecture used in the hall of heroes which was a pvp arena place in gw1.
So if thats an argument you want to cling too, its bunk
They should just standardize the pips, wins should give 1 pip loses lose 1 pip, and close games should be 0 pip gain/loss,
This whole multiple pip lose/wins completely kitten up the system, winning 2 games only to lose both pips from a single loss is rediculous, it should at least not happen till ruby or diamond
Matchmaking uses both division and mmr. If you play better than average your win rate will be over 50% and you will climb divisions. If you are stuck in a division, your skill level probably is not enough to get to the next.
Until anet decides to make you lose 2 pips for a lose so even maintaining over 50% win ratio gives you no progress. Win 2 lose 1, now you need to win 3 in a row to get ahead because 2 pip lose
If you aren’t a pvp player then the pvp legendary is not for you, but if you absolutely MUST have this skin, then you have to pvp, so stop complaining and fulfill the requirements
You seem to have this completely misguided belief that legendarys are something every player is entitled to have regardless of their playstyle or effort put into the game, they arnt, they a LONG term goals for people DEDICATED to playing the game to earn them.
Inb4 “i shouldnt have to work for anything in a game cuz i should be able to relax” or " the methods to acquire it should be “reasonable” by my personal definition of reasonable"
So rediculous, ascended and legendary are the same tier and they always will be, anet has stated so. Having a impractical convenience on legendarys doesnt make it a better higher tier.
And this rediculous pessimistic “fortune telling” of saying anet “might” go back on there word on stuff is not an argument at all, its a completely unsubstantiated hypothetical situation that almost surely will never happen. Its pretty clear with extremely biased statements like that, that it doesnt matter what anet does, you people will always find a way to berate them even for something they havnt even done yet
ROFL once again ohoni demanding legendarys without wanting to do ANYTHING required for it,
Dude just quit the game, seriously, there isnt a single luxory item you HAVNT complained about. mmos are obviously not the type game for you
Have you played other games or are you just miming what others say?
In other games getting top tier gear usually takes just as long to get as ascended, and even if its slightly less work, pretty much all the other games will force you to do it all over again every few months or so.
Everyone is just as capable of learning about economics and how to flip things on the trading post, there isnt some special group of players that anet has deemed as the only ones allowed to do it. Its your own choice not to persue that knowledge and use it to your advantage.
The reason people in this game are richer than you is because they worked at it. Even if you got your way and redistributed the wealth, in a few months everything would go right back to the way it was because those rich players will continue with the playstyle that made them rich in the first place, and everyone else will go back to their normal playstyle and make about the same as they did befor
