Guild Wars 2

Yea I support this too.
Like in guild wars 1, international server 1,2,3… etc..

Nothing but to post to say I share the same thought.
Anet doesn´t have to give us a recognition for supporting their solo Q, but it would be nice if we got something to aknowledge…

Dhunis.9072:

People wanting rewards are probably playing wrong game mode. Pvp should be played to kill other people and have fun.

In GW1 there was zaishen keys, titles, balthazar factions, capes, guild sigils, weapon skins, etc…
just for playing

And what´s left for the people with 800+ games standing top 50 in solo q? We didn´t exploit the system or decay and played actively every day.
We aren´t getting any kind of reward for being on the top of the tree so much time consistently playing games?

My 800 games in solo q have been for nothing but get my rating reset to 0?

I am ok with matchmaking fix and leaderboard fix, it was SO SO NEEDED.
But… reset legit players rating to 0? C´mon……………

Well you should also be happy cause now you would have a chance to go even higher which is impossible due to the inactive players abusing the decay reset that occupy the top spots..Besides that it doesnt really matter if you synced your way or did it legit.
The guy just said that the system was flawed.So you intentionally or unintentionally abused the system to your advantage by getting into the good team and facing lower rating players..so in the end it doesnt matter.
Im sorry that you feel that your hours of work are gonna go to waste but the truth is that they didnt mean anything in the first place

They DO mean, many matches are against top players and that is always a challenge. IT is just some other times when matchmaking puts wrong people on wrong teams.

It is a lot of effort some people with 500 800 1300 matches standing on top are going to not get rewarded..

Harry, i was in that match with those 2 guilds who were syncing about 1 hour ago ( i was the thief).

you were in their team ( i hope casually) and they also carried you ( with this i don’t want to say you were not doing your part, but that’s about it).

you have to understand that if 2-3 people sync in top 200, the rest of the team will be carried snowballing the other team.

It happened to me too ( on the side of snowballers), and it was unfair.

i don’t want to sound like a kitten but if you ( and me and all the other high ranked players) went that far it’s also thanks to syncers we played with ( unintentionally or not).

current system is flawed and it needs to be fixed.

I understand your feelings but this is the right thing to be done.

:/ Well… they could give something back, the same way they did with qualifying points..

As a very experienced ranger (3.4k matches) I completely disagree with the nerf incoming to dodge endurance.
Arguing that ranger has traits that produce vigor is not a solid statement for this nerf, since chosing those traits will make us lose damage output or defense, and are never good enough as a perma 50% vigor.

Why you nerf us this way? Meanwhile engineers + warriors immunity to conditions (berserker stance, heal sig and many more horribly op core things) while ranger has horrible access to good condi cleanse) + engineer 50% vigor GM trait.

As I said, as a top solo Q leaderboard ranger I completely disaprove this nerf to rangers endurance. Regen and evasion is core for our gameplay, and warriors stacking 20 might with ultra glorious cheese builds are crushing us way easy.

No thanks. That one is unnecessary. Tho the rest of the patch looks very nice to me.

Matchmaking is the worst horrible system i have ever played.
that is my constructive criticism.
Fix putting 4 top 10 players vs 5 top 200 players. That is by no mean balanced match.
Fix putting all the time higher rated players vs lower rated players.
Fix Ultra rating drop when you get paired with low rated players vs low rated players
Fix Leaderboard while some players have 800 games in high rated games, some people has 20 games with noobs and is top 10.
Fix assigning best rated spots in top leaderboard for players that have a high win percentage when they have very low matches played or under 100

This build is completely destroying solo queue.
I play on top 50 and everytime a player runs that build you can´t beat him on a 1v1.
Simple as that.

Nerf this in next patch, this is becoming stupid.

Earth sigil has a maximum of stacks (5 stacks of proc), until it enters in an internal cooldown (not stated) of about 20 seconds until you can start to proc again the bleeds.

Earth sigil does not allow you to put more than 5 stacks of bleed by doing critical hits.
After 5 stacks are reached, there is an internal cooldown.

GEOMANCY SIGIL (3 stack bleed sigil on weapon swap) not working.

Number VI Precision trait tree.

“Your pet moves 30% faster”.

Never worked, I tested it like 11 months ago, it didnt give 30%
Some video in youtube had some tests and says it gives 5% instead.
I thought with the trait tooltip patch this would be fixed.

Why this year isnt possible?
I didnt have the luck from chests last year…

Too bad

Bumpppppppppppppp

any dev can confirm if halloween pvp skins are dropping from chests like past year?

Kwll.1468:

Lol, January I guess im done with this game. Nothing but sky high promises in the future. You fools can continue to get strung along to your hearts content though. They mention two months ago they were working on a lot of this stuff. So we have 5+ month time frames to fix important pvp quality of life issues. You guys are suckers.

Plzzz dont make noise when you shut the door off
I by myself im happy with the game now, and will be 10 times happier with the game when they implant the changes.
They always deliver what they promise, sooner or later. But they do

Really, if you are just gona come up with random cry about something, leave out.
This constant criticizing and flaming to developer´s work is only going to make them work less and care less about pvp population.

Either point up the flaws of some system so they can check them, or come up with solutions, but random flames isn´t gona help the game in any way.

Get real, if you don´t like the game, or you like it but you don´t want to wait/lost hope, just leave and everything is cool in you life bro´s.

This is a pretty juvenile view of the situation. The devs have a job to do and they need to do it to the best of there ability regardless of how players act here. As a matter of fact I believe they would be fired tommorrow if they behaved in that manner and there bosses knew about it.

no, and no because pvp is the less profitable part of the game and has the lowest resources allocated from anet team.
they could easily stick to the profitable areas of the business, while making their e-sports promise the way they better want to.
Any employee flamed by a customer at some point will do its way to just stick to his job, instead having passion or caring about the customer any more, and this is what lot of the guys are achieving here. Even more when it isnt a 5 star area of the business.

Rangers cant shine without spirit build unless 15 october gives some op stuff

I have my antivirus turn off and performance is still the same…
I always get around 30 fps in lions arch.
WvW depending on zerg i get around 20 fps and if zerg is very strong i drop to 10 fps in preset high.

support ticket told me it is my hardware problem, im going to send my supplier the pc…

Explicitly very few companies do amit their fault.
But implicitly, they do, by following the rule “Customer always has the reason”

Oblivion.8307:

It doesn’t matter who I am when you don’t understand what people generally do in hotjoins (farm glory, not give a kitten about winning/losing.). I’m just pointing out the obvious, you (a rank 45) seem to be one of those skyhammer farmers you berate so much if you don’t know why people enter hotjoins. I’m only rank 49 and i’ve got over 3000 tournament games. For you to not understand why the scores are as they are with the current ranks you must have only ever done hotjoin I assume?

Basically, in hot join nobody cares about winning (high rank players specifically). People test/have fun with new/troll builds(eg. rabid amulet guardian). You’re making baseless assumptions on the high ranked individuals on your team because they didn’t give a kitten about what the score was, only their glory farmed. For your sake I’m happy you blacked out the names as to not embarrass yourself even more.

The only one who´s embarrassing himself is you.
In all this time you have learned nothing about players interests in spvp.
I am actually playing hot joins to win the matches and raise my achievement points for my engineer/guardian/warrior/ele. There are lot of interests on why players do spvp, aside from only troll as you mention.

There is people who cares about winning in hot-join, and I´ve seen many top rated guys play to win in hot join, I am one of them, actually.

You have played a lot, yet you have learned nothing about how spvp works for different players. Deal with it.

I´ve been some weeks top 50 on solo q leaderboards, got more than 3k matches as ranger (even more than battosai, who has only 2k) and r61. For me, you are just a random scrub who wants to raise some e-kitten

Celestial amu has its plays in some hybrid builds

I´ve got 2 millions. Not sure wether spend them on chests for materials to craft dyes or wait for the rework.

I asked many developers about it.
It is confidential info. So none knows.

XGhoul.7426:

Some Q.O.L to make me not want to break my face on my keyboard when crafting dyes would be nice too.

Yes indeed this is very important and they need to fix like mystic forge making xxx dyes if you got the materials.

i prefer my shark much more than that cup.

i have disabled any charge in windows programs and my pc is free and new..
I have disabled turbo boost cuz the anet specialists said it could cause some crashes..
I have run some tests with heaven 4.0 benchmark by the anet support specialists and I get pretty normal results for my hardware.

I just dont know whats going on with this game for me

I get 6 fps in WVW with good zergs and preset graphics high…

The funny thing is even if I lower to best performance and everything low, in wvw i will still get about 25-35 fps in big zergs… ok…

Yea and i7-4770k haswell is not one of the best processors? Lold

It doesnt matter the many options i turn down in the game. Lions arch will drop excesively my fps. As will zergs do. 20 fps will get as mucb with lowest performance on zerg. 12-20 with preset on high.
Lions arch 20-30 fps with auto settings
Lowest performance 35-40…. hahahahaja

lol´d
that guy is a top solo q player.
the reason he is rage akitteng is because of matchmaking being su poorly optimized.

no real reason to ban him at all. with this matchmaking, any developer would rage if taken a bit serious

Everything on ultra (but shadows, cuz its bugged), Lions arch; 30 fps.
GPU usage: 75%

..

UPDATE:
I have run MSI afterburn while in pvp at ultra and so far I get 99% GPU usage (see attachment). In pvp often I have 70 fps, but as soon as people start making spells or zergs, it will drop strongly to 20 fps or even less.

I have run MSI afterburn on lions arch at ultra and cpu usage is somewhere between 85-95% often (attachments), and fps is always 20-35 (variations a lot in this range).

Also I want to let you know, that very often times, my antivirus norton has poped me up a message, saying that guild wars 2 is having the CPU very intensive, and that at least 1 core is on at full charge (note that I have the best processor out there, i7-4770k)

Any help with this information? Could it be my i7-4770k the bottleneck? maybe is that I have to touch the BIOS or something to make it use all the cores?

Behellagh.1468:

There isn’t any. The game is what it is and in area around a lot of players the game’s performance suffers. Play with the culling, former WvW, settings. Adjusting other player’s quality settings down will improve frame rate by avoiding custom avatar creation in large crowds and improve rendering by using common placeholder avatars repeatedly.

But do you need 60fps in Lion’s Arch between the TP, the forge, the crafting area and the bank? I can understand wanting decent frame rates in WvW but in the safety of a city? Anything hostile in city happens in an instance or it’s own zone.

You might have better luck with GoF’s suggestion about using the -forwardrenderer command line flag than I did. Someone suggested -nosound flag but that was before the sound engine fix a few weeks back. I told my antivirus to ignore all disk reads and writes from gw2.exe and that bought me a minor improvement in Lion’s Arch with the constant disk reads as players flit in and out of your quality Avatar setting range.

And for giggles post a screenshot of your current game graphic settings. It might reveal something to someone who is running a similar system and they may have an idea or two.

Man don´t tell me that it is normal to get 15 fps in lions arch with the pc i´ve got.
I´m telling that in wvw is even worse when the zergs come, frames can drop really hard there.
The only place where I can play the game at ultra is in pvp and even there if there is much population in the mists i get fps lowered and in the maps if there is a lot of people attacking and so on I can suffer a drop de 15-20 as well.
I have already tried all kind of wvw limit character limit quality model settings and the don´t change much the fps I get. So yea, I want to play the game with decent fps and stable in all areas, not just in pvp.

No one Any idea?

Hi guys, hope everyone is enjoying well the game.

My pc is an i7-4770k processor, with a nvidia GTX 770, with 16 GB RAM 1866Mhz, and I run GW2 on a 128 GB SSD.

My problem is that I get 10-25 fps in lions arch when playing at max.

I can´t even play with shadows on ultra because it´s a buggy setting for me, and will make the screen get tears often.

I have tried everything all around, all kind of configurations, the official tech support config about v-sync, etc, new & old drivers, updated BIOS, played a lot with the nvidia control panel….

I have tried so many things, and I will always get very low fps on pve,
I just cant play at max settings but even at lowest settings my fps wont change more than 20. In WvW when a zerg is right near me, my fps drops to 10 at some points.
In pvp is the only place I can play with all max (except shadows) and I get 60-70 fps, but I get lot f variations from 40 to 130 fps. Also in pvp if there are lot of players using their skills like in a zerg, my fps will drop hard to 15-20.

Maybe I don´t look like when im writing, but I´m really mad about this, because I had to save money for 8 months with my part-time job just to buy a pc (1 month old pc) who could run guild wars 2 on ultra settings and enjoy a lot this game.

Sadly I can´t. I´m contacting with tickets anet support, but they take very long to answer me, and the only time the answer they have told me to go catalyst center (which is actually for ati cards) so I wonder if they even care about my issue.

What can I do??? Anyone here has enough knowledge to find where the problem is?
Look, this evening I run 3dMARK 2013 on my pc, and I get without any OC 7122.

Any help is really apreciated.

Is it a bug?
Intended to nerf Skyhammer rank farm?

Discuss.

JonathanSharp.7094:

We have different game types brewing at different levels of completion.

Some of them break away entirely from capture points and put the scoring emphasis on objectives/kills.

Some, as you guys know, are just different ways of looking at death match.

We don’t want to just release a ton of new game modes, so the reason we don’t talk about all of them is we’re basically testing a lot of them, and then we’ll see which ones work the best together.

As we’ve said before, we also want to be sure we don’t put out too many, and split up the players too much, while putting out enough so that you guys have variety.

That´s very good Jon.

Please anything about the new reward system?
Just general lines…
will rank system be changed?

JonathanSharp.7094:

We are working on new game modes. As we get closer to being ready to talk about them more, we’ll give you guys more details!

Jon please, tell us in general lines how is the new reward system going to be like.
Thanks a lot.

Evan Lesh.3295:

This forum loves analogies :P

PvP is not currently designed to have extensible content. There are maps, which we do make. There are runes and sigils, but there are already an overabundance of them. Finally there are skins, which are added usually with every other update, but how you obtain those skins stem from PvE.

There are no features we can just ‘throw people at’ to give you guys more content. We need more infrastructure and more extensible systems, but those are the hardest to design and take the most time to implement. An example would be a completely reworked reward system. Those are the things we’re working on. It’s taking a lot of time and hard work to get there, but the payoff will be worth it.

Please Evan, give us some spotlight on how will the new reward system look like.
Will that change modify the current rank system ?

I just used all my slivers.
Now only stacking glory since thats what they said will be useful

dragonkain.3984:

First of all, do you understand that it’s the ONLY WAY TO GET DRAGON RANK WITHOUT SPENDING HALF OF YOUR LIFE IN THIS GAME???????

+1, very mindfull. dragon rank is just no life.

Tamyr.3271:

i wouldnt mind of you take steps and at least ban the owner of these maps for map exploiting. just my two cents

Well you are the owner of one of them and you have been farming as an admin for long.
What you talking about?

fugazi.5139:

Evan Lesh.3295:

We are aware of this and are taking steps to mitigate this type of play.

In Gw1 these kinds of farming/syncing were banable. Is this something these people might be facing as well? It is just one of the other reason I have stopped PvP.

for your information, syncing in gw1 was never banned, and it took arenanet many years until they fixed random arena sync.

Edo Tensei.8254:

arenanet should remove the farmed glory from those peoples who did farm glory at skyhammer map.

There is like thousands of players who have used skyhammer farm

Aye.8392:

Evan Lesh.3295:

We are aware of this and are taking steps to mitigate this type of play.

This is certainly an exploit of the system. Hopefully A-Net is looking at permanent bans for the players involved as well as changing the system to encourage a more fun type of play.

It always amazes me when people who are breaking the rules blame it on the system instead of taking responsibility for their own poor choice. “You made me!” Is such a grade-school response.

then they would have to ban super and some of the winners of the PÂX
as well to ban the highest percentage of top players
