Guild Wars 2

Terrible. I thought everyone should be equal in sPvP

The feature patch will be such a joke.

Really? You think? With 20 million or so fans of their games? Why wouldn’t they subscribe?

ESO in its current state is broken. I causes crashes for peoples drivers/tries to explode your CPU, It doesn’t have an economy, its pay to win (not that bad but still), Sub people are sick of those, and is basically a re-skinned WoW. Guess how many elder scroll fans want that? not many. Most people log on and go many this makes me want to play skyrim/oblivion/morrowind and then they go do that. In addition I love star wars with a passion but HATED SWTOR so your fan subbing logic is invalid.

Also this is GW2 you can take a break for 10 days that’s what makes it GW2

could you put even more lies in one post? ESO neither is a WoW clone nor breaks your drivers or hardware lol. And what you mean with no economy?

I am usually not a person who likes/defeneds the economy of this game, but the OP made me laugh,

posted about this yesterday already

I can confirm this bug, saw it 2 or 3 times during the weekend.

restarting the game fixes this I think

Watch out what you are posting here, Anet might believe it.

You can have it soon™, it doesnt fit a Norn anyway.

Well there are achievements for tournaments, so hotjoin is not an option.
I refuse to ever set a foot again into hotjoin ;D

winning hotjoin gives as much as loosing team arena now

I found it worse than an epiloge of a terrible book.

its internally fixed for 3 months already, but Anet is saving this bugfix for their epic soon™ feature patch

I dont like the gem store finisher. They have no value to me if you can just pull out your credit card for them.

Its too late now. Many people deleted their remaining boosters now.

Rank matters, it gives nice finishers and access to new titles.

Rank points gained from win chests at the end of Solo and Team Arenas have been moved.
The rank points will now be completely rewarded at the end of the match.

This has the downside that if you win quick or have a disconnect in the middle you get less rewards now because the rewards are now based on the time you spend in the match. If you dc one minute before the end but come back quickly your 1500 rank turn into 100 or so.
Someone on our team is suffering from random dcs all the time so he gets much less rewards than before.
To top it of if you end with 0 points because of the dc he gets absolutly nothing instead of the equipment chest, glory and rankpoints you used to get before.
This is in need of an urgent fix.

I know people with stable connection probably wont care, but as long as my team wants to carry this guy with unstable connection he shouldnt be punished for it in addition by the game.

TESO is not as kittenome people on these forums makes it out to be. I know plenty of people (10+) who played the beta and like it and preorded it already.
Sure it has flaws, but I have yet to see a flawless one.

Maybe… Soon™.

Feature build is make or break for me.

You’ve milked it. Move on.

An MMO is usually something you want to play for years. Its not like a single player game you finish after a few hours and uninstall.
If I wanted to play something where I have to move on all the time I could play Call of Duty or stuff like that.

chemiclord.3978:

The sheer amount of entitlement in this thread… holy hell. Bored after ONLY 1500 hours. You POOR THING!

And Malediktus, 1500 hours is a ton of time, MMO or not. I understand you’re disappointed you didn’t get your GW1 with graphical upgrades, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

I got 5500 hours /age even, but I guess 1000-2000 of it are afk time.
But the only thing that keeps me playing is the lack of alternative games and the daily achievement grind lol.

1500hours isnt particulary much for an MMO, if it would be a single player game it would be a lot, but for an MMO its not that good.
There used to be a time where you wouldnt get bored so fast of MMOs, but nowadays MMOs are too casual to offer longtime enjoyment for people who play more than 5 hours a week.

I would buy a real life Eternity

Account wide WXP was “almost ready” for the January patch, so I have no clue why it cant be ready 3 months later? Maybe they should get their priorities straight.

Its something an intern should be able to program in a few hours.

the rewards are better than nothing, but of course far from balanced compared to effort and pve

Maybe it would help if you would increase the development budget dedicated to sPvP from sub 1% to 10%.

I want to have my chests for r55. Go anet and give me what I earned.

so pvp mats got removed too or what? didnt play any pvp since patch

You can farm 10g per hour in PVE, if lucky I get 4x Team arena wins in an hour = 1.2g lol

also the PVE farming is a brainafk activity while you have to give your best in pvp to even make these 1.2g

another time anet screws the veterans. I want my chests for upto r55

removed removed removed

Korossive.7085:

Skins will never be P2W. Obviously you’re misusing the term.

Don’t.

Pay to win is different for every game and person. If the goal of the game is too look pretty (like GW2, since vertical progression is basically non existant), then skins are indeed pay to win. The argument that pay to win is buying statistical advantages only, is old and busted.

Was winning a tPvP match and close to the end we got redirected to the lobby. Suddenly the match restarts but score is 0:0 again and the teams uncomplete. Turned into a loss. Thanks.

would make the casuals cry

Its not only happening on temple.

RNG is no excuse to put it in the gem shop. That would be pay to win.

I dont? I got over 1000 tPvP wins (r55) and in WvW I am over rank 700 on my highest char.

Why you need so many infinite lights?

wvw is pvp, just on a different scale

Sounds like something that should have been fixed in beta already.

It’s 2014, come on we should be able to speak to them in game, just like every other game out there. Nobody wants to type while in combat.

VOIP is intrusive. It’s not always possible to be on VOIP because of what’s going with your surroundings. Not everybody wants to be in a call, especially with potentially annoying or abusive strangers.

Teamspeak exists for a reason, if you need those features, everyone has it. Implementing voice chat into the game seems to be redundant. I remember voice chat being implemented into another MMO that I played, and it was low quality as well as hardly ever used.

So, that’s why I am all for empowering team-wide voice emotes.

This is how I feel about VOIP in-game as well.

Good luck using TeamSpeak in SoloQ

True, it might be postponed to 24.10.2017 because of unforseen problems.

ingame VOIP is required for this

Maybe its some routing problem, the lag only started increasing a few days ago and is limited to GW2, thought the lag spikes are so minor most people probably wouldnt even notice I guess.

Well I am experiencing 150-350ms ping if the windows resource monitor isnt lieing. Definatly more than I would expect for EU servers.

The TESO EU megaserver is currently in US (they openly talked about it), I will try to fetch ping to that.

EDIT: seems to vary from 140-180ms

ColinJohanson.2394:

We have revealed previously that someday, there will be Guild Halls in the game yes.

I am happy to predict the release date: 22th August 2017, one month before Guild Wars 3 will be announced.

you can send screenshots to the customer support or exploits@arena.net

Ettanin.8271:

1. take a globe
2. take a needle
3. spin around the globe fast
4. attach the needle to the globe
5. where the needle landed is the server’s location

that’s how accurate GeoIP is actually.

I am living in Germany. The pings wouldnt be that high (150-350ms) if the servers would be in EU/Frankfort. As you can see on screenshot 2.
Now if I check the ping to a teamspeak server I rented, its 12ms.
Considering the ping the servers must be terrible if the servers would be indeed in EU.

Recently I tried to do some research on why I often feel experienced lag while the ping to TeamSpeak and other stuff stays in the low double digit area.
It seems like I found out that the EU Servers are located in the US, because all the traffic seems to be going to the US, although I am on an EU Server (Riverside).

Anything I am missing? I remember before launch Anet mentioned EU Servers would be in Frankfurt on the Main (Germany) or something.
