Guild Wars 2

Logged in just to say i do fully support this idea and it also happened to me in gw1 with gladiator rank.
It would be fair to reward as well the loyal and previous playerbase for their wins rather than the newcomers.

This wouldnt add way much rank anyways, but would be welcome.

They said on stream that crafting mats will be junk

But this basicly means, that the purpose of salvaging kits in PvP is to transform the crap you get from the chests straight into another form of crap xD

this made me laugh

Justin ODell.9517:

Hey, even PvE has vendor trash for inventory pressure. :P

Joking aside, I don’t know what the designers have in mind… but I’ve got a large collection I hope turns into something valuable also.

Edit: I told it to post without my ArenaNet emblem. Guys, this is my personal opinion. :/

rank tokens and crafting materials will be junk or something worth?

come on just use them and play some pvp _:D

wouldnt work for the action based combat of this game

they didnt mention yet if chests will be useful for legendaries.. just for luck esences to salvage

Well, Super, it is more reasonable and fair that players who win more often in Team arena or Solo arena get more rank. Since they are better players, in the long term higher ranked players (those who win more often) will have a higher rank.

I think its ok, just like in gw1
Casuals will still get some rank and glory as they had always

Cyhann.2609:

It’s better without these items anyway.

cmon its not gona break the game anyway.
and they could also add option to turn off graphics for the people who dislikes tem

Just wanted to log in to say awesome work and amazing simple guide for beginners to spvp.

This should be sticky & Introduced inside the game via Mists tutorial Npc
Hope some dev´s read it soon.

Information on When will PVP Legendaries released.
Also how to get them (Legendary shards?).

^ Lol…

“kitten it’s Monday erm… Okay okay.. Write this down, listening?
’ New rewards system! The new rewards system will be… different and… BETTER!
AND… There will be a new game map that’s different! AND, epic!’
Yes…. very good. Send.”

LOL
Indeed if it was like that it would be so funny XD like we got trolled!

Right now that petition is hardly viable since we lack players…
When rewards come out, if pvp population increases, then A-net will be in position to restrict games to 1 class per team without hurting queue times.

The outcome of Solo Q games is determined by multiple factors.
The fact that you lost for more than 200 points could be due to this factors, just to give some of them:

1- Your team has 2 rangers and enemy team 2 warriors hambows (they got hard countered in the matchups therefore owned).

2- Your team may have excess of bunker specs, while enemy team is balanced.

3- Your team may have 2-3-4 players of the same class, therefore too much redundancy and lacking team synergyze in comparison to the other team.

4- etc etc…

Since I´ve got more than 1.2k matches in solo q I can tell you that often, the outcome of a match is not really determined by a real players skill.
Many times the game is won by the team composition.
Also map makes a huge difference as well.

Spirit watch and skyhammer require different factors in order to win.

In the long term each player will hold its real match making rating.
The system we have now is really much more fair than it was before.

What we need: Incentives of rewards for players to join solo/team q (already in progress).
- Solo Q / team Q unlocked at rank 30 so no new players can join it
Other games like league of legends require level 20 in order to join ranked

Ok people. Calm down.
I have like 1200 matches in solo Q.

Leaderboards are really way much better than before.
Games are definitely much more competitive and close than before.

Just give it some more weeks and more incentives to rewards and solo Q will be healthy with more players in it.

if you play out of the meta, doesn´t matter how good or skilled you are.
You will constantly get smashed by strongly synergized builds

There is no need to nerf everything…
If they nerf key areas of what truly makes war op then the problem can be solved.

You will have to call the U.S military forces every time you fight warriors.
On topic- wait for 10th Dec patch notes, then judge wether they addressed this issue or not.

Thank´s a lot.
It is good to know that in future there will be rewards for leaderboard performance

After my message was deleted I wanna change my opinion:

The stream was awesome. Thanks!

LOL

you can get it from gw1 i think (not sure)

Q: Are you going to develop a game mode which involves different maps with different modes just like Heroes Ascent was in Guild Wars 1? That means also having a Hall of Heroes (Pve Lore) that if your team wins there is a worldwide text for every player?
(Rather than worldwide Scarlett invasion text) Thanks!

Warrior is completely broken and unbalanced right now

its troll. read the finishers xD

ever heard of immobilize? ^^

I´m finding very unbalanced match up´s lately with this new system.

It´s like there is 1 good player with 4 randoms vs 4 good players and 1 random.

starting to think this is not good as i was expecting

I want the super explosive finisher -.-

infantrydiv.1620:

It’s definitely nice to see red posts in the sPvP forum (which, curiously enough started happening right after the spam attack after Xeph quit haha).

Justin does a good job of responding like a human, rather than an excuse making autobot

This statement is false.
Developers used to write on the spvp forum since the very beginning of the game.
An enterprise like NCsoft or arenanet cares nothing about an already forgotten player that was flaming and critizicing them with no intention to stay in this game.

go far all the day and rush enemy lord asap

I tried it and it´s a completely troll and crap build for pvp ^^

only skilled players like Eurantien can pull it off, maybe?

You’re just used to easy to run cheese builds perhaps.

If you play that crap once someone focuses minor fire on you. You are dead. Its a paper ranger.
Take it as you want. That build is sub-optimal to spirit rangers and sub-optimal to any other serious build from other classes.

I couldnt care less about me being running spirits. Right now it is the most efficient build a ranger can run.
To let you know, I have 3.500+ matches with ranger and my degree of knowledge of the class, is at least respectable.
On another note:
When 12 months ago on november battosai used to be famous for running the power beastmaster, at that time i ran the condi bm. After time condi bm proved to be more optimal and synergized than power bm

looking for info from dev in regards to this ^^

The new system is better. Closer and harder games.

Nice. I really want the legendaries in pvp so real pvpers at least can show some special weapons that not everyone has

I want legendaries in pvp

I tried it and it´s a completely troll and crap build for pvp ^^

Take power ranger nowadays as serious as you may want.
Mesmer and thieves own better burst and engage/disengage mechanics.
Power ranger is not yet ready for serious play. It still needs some buffs

Only warriors counter the ranger.
Anything else is skillwise bearable

Mesmer is not a har match up to ranger exactly.

Good luck beating a top tier hambow with zerker ranger.
I really want to see that to have some good laughs
Youll have to pop stability elite and even in that case if they play defensive they will crush you when rao is over with 2-3 skills

Yea balance is in a wearable state.
Of course it is not perfect and there are many things that need to be addressed.
But releasing the reward system soon is important for motivation to pve and pvp players

Warriors have been always in a good state before the ultra cheese buff they got.

And i have to say some of the people to blame for anet ultra buffing warrior is that defektive for his multiple posts crying about warrior forcing anet to buff him in his own interests.

Now what we got is an ultra cheese strong mode versatile class warrior.
When ranger is getting nerfs and is bound to build always offtank for being serious.

Helseth is actually bad.
I beat him multiple times in solo q direct duel.

Also saying that this guy beated helseth with a zerker ranger proves nothing.

And yes, thinks like that can happen with a troll build.
The difference is a troll build cant beat many situations while a serious build (spirit meta) can.

The guy who said he plays zerker ranger is trolling.
I am 13 europe in solo q and zerker ranger is troll build just for fun.

Because if you are serious a zerker ranger is sub-optimal to any zerker thief mesmer, which are designed in core better for that burst role.

Ranger in its core is not designed for burst. Its design to be efficient-optimal is to be an offtank bunker.
Last thing to say is i have 3.500 matches with ranger and played since release

Wanted to hop in here and say that a rating reset will not touch lifetime stats like games played or won. You will keep the total number of games played for each rating type.

like in wvw people get´s dolyak finisher , veteran of the mists title and some chest of rewards…
Us the solo q´ers won´t get anything for being on top of the tree?

Do you want a cookie?

If it is an ArenaNet Cookie, then, yes.

Please, just remake Hall Of Heroes from Guild Wars 1
It should be easy to copy and remake the maps with this beautiful game graphic´s.
Carrying hero to the hall of heroes is just an epic thing to do, and also the end game chest reward could have a 0.00001% of giving a legendary

Yes 800 is not the usual number.
More accurately 200-300 games players who didnt rely on decay and achieved a legit rating by winning top rated matches with their ~60 percentage.
I dont know but if they gave on qualifying point system who had no matchmaking no rating and no win percentage they could give something for our better system…

There are many players with 200-300 + games and i mean the ones who made it into top ratings and didnt exploit should get something as recognition.

You tell to calm down when qualifying points was a much more unfair system and that people still got a title to show.

I don´t see where is the problem for rewarding players yet

That is what many of us are asking frequently, but there is no official response about it, so maybe they aren´t sure about giving anything
