Guild Wars 2

I want to have mid-range ranger! So pistol ranger or shortbow reconstruction so it’s pure dmg/evade weapon. So keep #3 and #5 skills, lower CD on fifth, and make 1,2 and 4 dmg skills (I don’t understand why longbow has stealth skill and shortbow doesn’t).

Ranger should be ranged class. And they have longbow and staff now, so mid-range 600-900 ranger could be cool. Rangers mid-range weapons are condi, but those are little meh… And no one uses them in PvP/WvW. Well maybe couple players…

Besides shortbows and pistols are only used by thief atm, and shortbow is secondary weapon for them too, so rangers should have those weapons viable for them.

They should separate queues, to pure soloQ and then put teams (2-5 players) on other. But to get people on team queue, they should give them something extra, better rewards, more rewards or something to courage players to team up and play even with randoms.

This game is supposed to be social too, not only competitive. Competitive players can go solo, and get their rewards too, but just give better rewards to those who assign a team and play PvP for more than just title. And I don’t mean competitive guild team rewards! I mean rewards for even those PUG teams who uses LFG or have friends from other guilds and want to play PvP with them.

Lol poll doesnt even work on me? It directs me to my account page?

But yeah… This is sad that most players do want to soloQ rather than teamQ…

If they do only one queue for ranked, and it’s only solo/duoQ, then we will lose even more players from PvP. There are players who don’t want to play only salty soloQ, so it would get from bad to worse.

We’ll see what’s gonna happen.

Bad things on map:
-It’s different, points are closer to mid point than in other maps, so there’s no way for mobile classes like thief and mesmer to keep enemy running back and forth.

- When enemy wipes, they can just camp other teams spawning point, because there is only one quick way to close point from base. Other route isn’t doing any favor if you want to avoid spawn camping. It should give a route to all way around to other side of close point.

- Graphics are bad and boring. Wood wood wood… Nothing colour on map and unnecessary walls on some points. Add some tigers to cages and colour to walls other than tiny banners.

- Artifacts are bad when some classes can teleport to them directly, so they don’t need to walk the ramp up. And I think They should be team buffs, like beasts in Forest of Nifhlel. Tone them down and give shield bearers team a def buff, and sword bearers team an offensive buff. And if player who is carrying artifact is killed, then whole team loses the buff. That way it isnt giving one player too much advantage in 1v1 or 2v2 situations.

- PETS AND MINIONS. There are areas (like the platforms on both side of mid point) where pets and minions can’t enter. Pets can get there if ranger jumps to platform and switch pet, or pet teleports there but if ranger is on point, pet can’t rush to the enemy. Add small ramps to the back of platforms so pets can attack enemies standing there.

Good things:
-…. I’m not sure if there’s anything that’s better in this map that doesn’t already exist in other maps. Maybe make mid point larger like in Foefire and add 4 pilars to the sides of mid point, so they can be used as LoS denials.

- I like the feeling of being gladiator on this map, but it’s lost after you remember you can’t just run after enemies or artifacts, because you have to keep contesting those points and rotating on this map is just mid-close-mid-far-mid…. haven’t seen ever that one team could hold close-far long enough, so team who holds mid longer is a winner.

They should just lower the timer which kicks players out if they don’t move, and give longer dishonors for dc or afk players. If 4 members of team report player as idle player, they should automatically give that player a warning and if it happens again, lets say in 72 hours he/she would get dishonor as same amount as deserting players.

No other changes would be needed. Except solution to how to prevent salty players not to exploid reporting player without reason.

Dralor.3701:

People should stop posting the bad design picture. Bad design is Mesmer and revnant… guardians just need some numbers tweaked.

How on earth is mesmer bad design? Except for Moa, what else is bad about mesmer? I don’t follow this “please nerf mesmer” talks.

Mesmer and reve needs more skill to play than DH or druid on higher levels. Revenant, when played correctly is little OP compared to other dps classes. And everyone keeps saying their weakness is condi. That is right. Except you have to first hit to apply those condis. Reve has so much blocks that you have to keep your distance to him all the time and attack when he’s out of his blocks/evades/heals… Necro is a good counter with unblockable marks, but thing is reve is going to burst you down before you lay those marks.

Mesmer needs timing. It has no unblockable skills, couple blocks and 1 invul… That’s it. Shatters cant pass blocks on DH or reve. You kill clones, and mesmer can do 1/4 portion of its damage without them. Oh and mesmers don’t have stability (on meta builds) so they are weak against CCs too.

Anything I missed to say?

Wait… what??? I didnt understand a bit about the video. What was that? A bug? Or is this some kind of troll video? SaR glitch?

sophiewhite.3149:

people said we should have diff ques. op didnt like that idea much, for free players “reducing que time so much” he sure as hell didnt want to be left alone.

No! No different queues! Just leave f2p players out of Ranked. Simple. They should still be able to go unranked, so new players could get a taste about PvP, but they couldn’t participate in ranked or do PvP achievements (wings) trial players shouldn’t be able to do all the things that players who bought game can do.

Then Ranked PvP would be B2P game.

Simple solution, and I doubt many f2p players would stop playing the game. Or does that even matter? They don’t use any money to the game, so Anet doesn’t get any profit from them. Why should business company give them all free if they won’t give anything back?

Drakz.7051:

They should have 2 pvp types. One for HoT owners and one for those without.

And only owners of HoT should be able to participate in the league.

It ruins the game for you and them when they feel like they are forced to pay to even have a fair chance and you as a HoT owner lose a match or even many matches because one or more of your team do not stand a chance in hell.

I have better suggestion. Ban f2p accounts from any kind of PvP and then Anet can balance core specs to meet with HoT specs. Easy as that. That would be win-win situation.

Mutaatti.2789:

Why is this conversation still going on? GW2 isn’t P2W game. If you want to success in PvP then you buy HoT expansion and that’s it. You don’t have to pay anything extra. And if you are good enough, you can succeed even without Heart of Thorns expansion. Only 10 year old kid wouldn’t understand this is BUSINESS. It needs to make money in order to keep players getting new content.

So…. If you are older than 10 year old, you will accept that you can’t get same stuff than people who paid for expanion pack. They paid for it so they can play it. If you are under 10 year old, and wished you could play every aspect of this game, you should speak to your parents if they could buy the expansion for you… The End.

sorry didnt know what to put on topic, but why ANET you dont let us have our PvP settings and weapons saved, so if we play WvW while queueing, we had different template for weapons, and when you enter PvP match, you would start with the same weapons that you used in last match? It works other way around, when getting back to PvE from match…

TheManowar.2014:

Precision increments critical chance, Ferocity instead increments critical damage, so it’s working as intended. Only with the Blood Reaction trait you can convert Precision into Ferocity.

Yeah that’s what I was talking about, forgot to mention that why doesnt signet of fury count in blood reaction? Atleast it doesnt show up in stats.

Hi! Why doesn’t signet of furys precision count to ferocity? is it a bug or doesn’t stats from signets count to trait buffs?

thanks!

You can just click team chat off, and my suggestion would be deleting map chat and whispering to enemies, because there’s a ton of examples where enemy flames, abuses, or tries to manipulate matches.

Im having whispers from enemy to let them win for 20 gold, or some players trash talking how our team sucks, just so they can boost their own ego. So remove that. There will still be team chat, but atleast those raging kids can’t throw it to their enemies.

I usually close chat in soloQ, because there’s no real info about strategy and players just blaming each other is killing the spirit of teammates and causes losses.

In many matches I have stopped to wonder where my teammates are, just to see they all afk in base after match is 350-450… I have lost many matches when we had 450-350 because enemy just kitten d our team on every point and then our team panicked and rushed 1 by 1 to point dying against 3 people in secs….

To OP, I completely agree with your post and being salty is harmful to your gameplay. You don’t see chess players flaming each other. And to everyone thinking yeah, it’s 1v1, in GW it wouldn’t stop people from abusing other players if they lose 1v1.

Evan Lesh.3295:

What’s the top of your crash report look like? It starts with something like:
—> Crash <—
Assertion: index < m_count
File: p:\code\gw2\game\content\CnUtil.h(99)

I cannot find this file location. Where can I find the crash files to submit?
What is happening to me is in matches, the game will just freeze up. I can walk around, but all the skills go in que instead of activating and all players just keep walking in their original directions. Almost feels like someone is pulling out the ethernet cable.

Close gw2, reopen and rejoin the match. But of course all players will rally and it takes like 30 seconds.

Lucky you… I’m having crashes on map loading screen in PvP (after the patch, didnt happen in previous seasons).

Have to restart my laptop everytime and it takes more than 2 mins to get back to the game. If I try to just shut the game and open again immediately it starts to repair file archives…. But it doesn’t try to repair them if I restart pc. Error report says it can’t find some files…

Today played 10+ games without any problem, then poof! Stuck on Foefire loading screen and quick restart! Got back to game in 2 min 20 sec and we won that game. Because I don’t let buggy game to get me depressed! Atleast got 1.5 hour break from the game.

Hi! So today I played about 5 games in a row, didn’t have any dishonor or deserted any matches.

I was queueing to a match, watching TV at same time. I missed the match pop up, and got a dishonor of 1 hour 35 minutes for that?!

Please Anet, if you could tell to all of us, why did this happen? I got dishonor yesterday for game crashing on map loading screen again, but does that affect to todays dishonor calculation?

I think for missing that ready up button there shouldn’t be ever more than 30 mins dishonor. desertion of game is a different thing. Im glad you punish hard for those (even that I haven’t done it on purpose ever) so that those rage quitters etc. are punished for their behaviour.

Well, you don’t lose a pip in match like that if someone doesn’t come to match at all.

I have had a bug where my game crashes on PvP map loading screen. It triggered 3 times a day couple days ago, and I needed to restart my computer to get back to the game, so I wonder if other people have had this too? Mine started in season 4, after the patch. Never had this issue before.

Oh, btw. Just yesterday won a match 500-450 4v5. One player didnt ever get to match.

Hi! After new patch I have had problem where my game crashes when PvP match is starting. I get to map loading screen and yellow ring bottom right corner keeps moving, but nothing happens. After I have to force shut down game, error report pops up. But it cant be sent because after timer goes 0, it says there has been error when trying to send report….

So here’s the report! Have tried to repair game client, didnt work. Havent changed anything in my computer from season 3, but now I have had this crash atleast 10 times!!

Please can you tell me what’s wrong with game?

Please add this map to ranked in season 4! This map is big, but still very strategic. Like in Foefire, bell can change the course of the game, if only one team tries to cap bell and other team just focus on 2 points.

Only thing is, there’s more obstacles in red teams side note and not as many obstacles (LoS) at blue teams side note. That should be fixed so they can be treated equally.

Hi! This post is about problem people have had for years, everyone found out different solutions and I have tried them all and still problem didn’t get fixed.

So… Yesterday I was playing GW for about 3 hours, shutted game down and left my computer running. 1 hour later I came back and tried to launch the game. I entered password, hitted play and… My screen turned to black and could only see mouse pointer which moved normally. First it was normal GW arrow pointer but then it switched to hand pointer?

Okay, trying to exit game, nothing happens, Alt Ctrl Del and get out. Got message saying Nvidia Kernel model xxx.xxx has stopped working and recovered.

Many others have had this problem when they updated their graphic drivers. Well I haven’t updated them at all. GW has been running with my computer for 6 months without any problems. Also my computer is only 6 months old. I use laptop ASUS X550JX which is low budget gaming laptop. (800 euros)

I have Geforce GTX950M GPU and Intel i-5 CPU, and used mostly minimum settings in game. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers but nothing seems to work. Is it possible my GPU is damaged and needs to be replaced?

I have integrated GPU too, Intel HD4600 and even it can run game with minimum settings without any problems.

Thanks for anyone who could help me out with this,
or then I have to send it to warranty service.

I think that if you come back and your team wins, you shouldnt lose or win pip. Because they could have win match even without you. So if you dc more than 2 mins and come back and win, you should not lose pip or winstreak. But you would not get pip if dc lasts longer than 2 mins.

I enjoy using meta and non-meta builds. I always try to take build that is most efficient to my team. In diamond most players use meta builds so I need to adapt and counter those builds.

2 warriors at enemy team? No matter are they power or condi, they use defence traitline and resistance stance. So my team needs corrupt or boon strip. Done.

2 DHs at enemy team? Well lets take some reflection and stability so those traps and arrows are just useless.

Ele+druid? Let’s just take DPS and heavy CC build and burst them so they flee or down fast.

Also using non-meta builds give sometimes advantage to your team because enemy always first thinks it’s metabattle build so they target you first or last in teamfights and that can be advantage.

Yeah I had same kind of match couple days ago. In my team was me+1 diamond+1 lege+diamon,sapphire,emerald as trio premade. Enemy had 2 leges and 3 diamonds all soloQ.

Matchmaking starts with 15 pip range and if it cant find players in that range it can go (infinite?) way up or down from that range. So if all those leges got MMR similar to diamond players it’s not strange.

Oh and we won that match against those lege+diamonds 500-300 so divisions doesnt mean a thing. You should be happy your MMR is high enough to meet lege players that low on diamond. Or their MMR was trash… Who knows.

Congratz on legend! Have seen many players get to lege with less than 100 games and that bothers me. Isn’t too easy to get there if you get it in less than 22 hours? (5min queue time+15 min/match). If matchmaking was made properly you should have met teams equal to your skill level meaning you should have ~60-70% winrate. Ofcourse if you play at times when there’s only players with lower skill level online that could make sense. Even pro players (if not in full premade team) should have more than 5 losed matches.

Just my opinion really. I’m not even near lege and have 300 played games but most (~80%) of games could have been won so they were close matches.

Did you soloQ and what time of the day you played mostly?

Then it is bugged and you should report it. But players get standard armors (except helmet in some cases) so there. No problem. All characters from lvl 2-80 have same stats in PvP.

As long as they wear their armor…

paShadoWn.5723:

I am absolutely sure you cannot don helmet and shoulders on lvl2 char and that causes a considerable drop in armor.

So at least these lvl requirements should be removed and the point of slogging thru the introduction was not even mentioned.

So congratulations people, you are kinda ignorant.

Only armors that counts to PvP stats are boots, chest and legs. Those are given to every character at beginning. You don’t need other armors at all.

And you have accesss to all skills except elite specs if you don’t have expansion Heart of Thorns.

You’re welcome.

I don’t understand what is everyone complaining? This is team based PvP. So you should get a team. And then get on TS or something if you think that is going to solve the problem. DuoQ against 5 soloQs? So? You can win those. Only thing is 4 member premade against full soloQ players. Those should get same rule than full premade that enemy had to have atleast duoQ against them. Because most 4 member teams have TS and have played together before.

TrioQ against duoQ and other players being soloQ is fair.

This is GUILD WARS. Change game if you like to play 1v1.

And divisions means nothing when you compare skills. Ofc the thing that new players get average MMR is unfair. They should get average MMR of Amber division players and it would go up fast if they are good.

But fact that T6 Ruby gets diamond players in enemy team means that you have to win those players to prove that you are as good or better than those already in diamond. No point letting you to diamond if you lose to those players all the time.

In chess tournaments ELO is used. While our MMR isn’t calculated the same way it has something similar. In chess if your ELO is 1500 and you play against player who has 2000+ ELO and you win your ELO rating gets a big boost because you are defendant in that match. If you lose, your ELO drops less than higher ELO players if he loses.

But as you advance in a ladder and get winstreak going you are going to face bigger and bigger MMR players. It doesnt mean those matches are guaranteed losses, it just means if enemy plays classes that they are familiar with and have equal teamcomp, they have bigger chance to win. Most of those 3rd or 4th games in winstreaks are these kind of matches (atleast for me) no matter do I soloQ or duoQ. I see from enemy movement, splits, skill uses and map coordination that they are equal/better skilled players. But the win isn’t guaranteed to those players. Because humans make mistakes. And those mistakes can costs them whole match if enemy recognizes them and uses them to their own advantage.

But what gets you to losing streak after losing win streak is your mentality. You just won 5 games and now lost 2? Take a break, breathe, calm down and try again. My guildmate got into diamond with this strategy in 2 days after he was stuck in T3 Ruby for 5 days. You have still a month to play this season so no need to hurry.

Ithilwen.1529:

If guard/dh is so bad off, why am I seeing teams consistently stack with 2-4 DH and win? In my opinion Pro League is pretty much irrelevant to day-to-day PvP.

If you lose to a team that stacks 2- 4 Guardian or Dh then you should seriously evaluate your own skill and contemplate if Guild Wars 2 is meant for you.

…So you were lege/pro player when you started this game? You knew every class and how they act and how to counter them?

I know most bad/new players don’t read these forums but still you assume that if team of 4 necros and a thief for example loses to a team with 2 DHs and ele/mesmer/reve, they should stop playing this game? Why? So they can’t ever learn to be better players?

And even if they evaluate their skills and admit they shouldn’t be in diamond or lege, if they already are in that division they can’t do about that thing anything else than keep playing or stop playing.

We need more players in PvP, so everyone should try to keep community positive and motivate new players to keep trying harder so they can learn to be better and keep community running.

Caosaur.3871:

I think the highest win streak I got so far this season was 3 or 4 wins. Last season I had 2 30+ win streaks then got stopped at diamond.
At this point I assume I’m going to lose if I get one or two wins in a row lol.

I watched twitch streams today and there was Paul from PZ and lord Helseth from TCG both in ruby still so it’s not really surprising people that didn’t make it to legendary past 2 seasons to advance to diamond or legendary yet this season. So are you on a level with those players? You think you can carry your team against them if you play against them?

How do you calculate personal score? Decaps, caps, kills or some other measurements? I think there’s really no point to change system right now. If you change it so personal score depends you will see more double cappings and 2 or more people trying to kill beasts in Nifhleh or doing something else than actually capping points and trying to win.

How to know if you have a halfway decent team?

Nobody says “Hi everyone!” at the start.

Nobody types “GLHF” into the mapchat before the match starts.

Nobody says “Just focus on 2 points, don’t push far!”

Nobody is jumping around the spawn area.

Nobody is running DH.

If anyone does any of the above during the start of the match, I have a 90% chance of losing.

true so true

If anyone does any of the above during the start of the match, I have a 90% chance of winning.

polite people wins more matches than ignorant ones.

This game should be fun, luck has nothing to do with winning, but still everyone should be enjoying this game or then go to play something else they enjoy.

If you have new player who haven’t played much PvP on your team, you should teach him when and why not pushing far etc.

Even lord Helseth jumps around spawn and many other Pro league players too.

Have seen so many legendary players playing DH in lower divisions and winning so nothing to say here… (these tips aren’t made for Pro league players, they already know their tips.. )

So carry on and have fun playing!

baroi.3264:

Your warrior did a bad rotation making your team fail in a outnumbered battle.
But you failed again too when you left your fight to go to a lost battle in mid, you should finish home battle and get 15s advantage in the eng (because eng was 20% health), while your team mates regroup in spawn.

What he said.

I’m ruby myself and wondering why I see so many people raging (ok, I have raged too couple times to teammates, sorry for that) instead of saying them directions OR (have seen too many french players…) just do the rotation yourself and carry your team as good as you can.

I know OP is frustrated because warrior didn’t care when he said he will be fine, but how could that warrior have knew you were good? I mean what if scrapper totally blasted you and then you start rageing “Why didn’t no one come to help me?” that’s the problem at start of the season, and even later in diamond/lege. If you play as a full pug team, how can you trust your teammates that they can handle 1v1?

They don’t get to legendary by doing only 1v1, even that they should know when they can handle it, and more importantly when teammate can handle it. But still this is about teamplay.

Yeah Jade wings hit through door or obstacles, no hack there and reposition doesnt work in most of the maps at this moment. Have reported it to Anet every time it bugs but still no fix. It happens on Spirit Watch in your own base outside of gates, near enemy teams base at Skyhammer (the wall in front of gate) and in Nifhlel on right spot outside enemy base.

It’s not a hack (atleast on me) but a bug that came when they changed repositioning rules at the start of the match in last patch.

You should really tell more about you and are you on EU or NA? And what kind of team you are looking for (tournament play or just hitting lege) and best way to get to competitive teams is sending message to someone already at that kind of team and getting them convinced you are worthy to be on their guild/team.

Ara.4569:

Mutaatti.2789:

It’s just more teamfight class than before patch.

You mean: clinging to others like a parasite to survive ?

Just like before. I’m not going to details but reaper is really strong 2v2 or in teamfights, if your build is right.

There are counters to reaper (like before patch) and they are not pointkeepers nor decappers (mobility sucks) but I think I will see pretty good reapers on season 3.

I’m just going to say see you at season 3.
(Reaper lives strong in this one)

Okay seriously, reaper will not be “meta”, if you mean pro teams and their team comp, but it isn’t as bad as players are talking about. It’s just more teamfight class than before patch.

Best video ever! :’D I laughed hysterically especially to those comments: “You have something shady going on…”

Nice one!

Please devs, delete this post… it’s so stupid my head hurts…. and to Dojo, this game isn’t just about PvP and ranked so please go play something else. Like someone suggested tournaments or then leave. So what? There are players like me who play PvE and WvW off season and it doesnt bother me.

I loved the idea to get these to ranked rotation aswell, because it was getting pretty boring playing those same maps over and over again… But I think if you are not gonna make new maps in future, try to focus on one map that isnt in ranked and make it perfect for competitive play, and then introduce other “new” map (new design) in next patch to next season. Then we would have something fresh in PvP next season too.

Oh, and would you please nerf mesmer? ^^

Yeah Im wondering same thing, what does mean standardized? And theres no Vampiric Presence (necro) on list, but I think that is also “standardized”.

Anet please care to explain?

I have a question about that rotation.

So you soloQ, lets say you are DH or a reaper, not so mobile character, and enemy has thief that likes to decaps my home point. There’s 4v4 going in mid, our team being losing, thief going to decap. Should I go to home point chase thief away or go mid help others? And explanation why so please.

I was in sapphire T5 stuck for 2 weeks, played every day, didnt get anywhere and lost more than won. Im new to GW2, about 5 months played now and still learning a lot from better players in PvP, WvW and PvE. Still I made to Diamond this season (last season Ruby and stopped there).

But I got out of “MMR hell”. How? With other friendly players. I found a group of 4 players who actually was in the same spot as me. They werent pros, neither new to PvP, still learning but we gave advices to each other, learned and played 100% all the time thinking how to defeat opponents far better than us. And we all got to Diamond in 4 days.

Sometimes we queued as 4 player team, got one random to our side, still got them convinced we arent bad players and we would listen him/her about roles and strategies.

My advice to all those MMR hell players is to make a list everytime you see players who are at same level than you and try to make a friend out of them and duoQ or even get 4 friends or full premade team and learn together how to get out of hell. 1-5 games isnt going to make pro team that would win 99% of games.

I would like to hear from actual pro league player how much do they practice as a team before every single match in pro league.

In the first pic you didnt face premade, and in the second you did because you were in the same team with duo premade. So it’s just bad luck. Because premade team (2-5 players are matched against other premade team. You were just unlucky to be in 2 player premade team.

At PvP match you can see total kills you have made in that match, but why cant you see your own deaths?

Wouldnt it be great to add stat where you can see how many times you have died? If you kill 20 times and get killed 22, you dont have to wonder why you lost game by 10 points. Of course someone at your team might have died 40 times at match, but everyone could learn from their kill/defeat ratio.

And even if you die like 20 times it doesnt matter if you win the match. Or maybe do third gamemode to sPvP where only kills matter? Deathmatch?

I think I read some posts proposing deathmatch aswell. Or is just too much for all these kids and trolls at PvP?
