Guild Wars 2

No armor, no accessories. Just underwear and weapons. I’ve always thought stats are all incorporated in the amulets hence there is no need to actually wear any armor. Someone told me that you actually need to wear armor so now I’m confused. Can a dev answer please?

choovanski.5462:

you need chest, legs and boots for pvp. they are the only items that effect your armour value. I have had many people disagree with me on this, but before you do test it ingame yourself.

Wow. I never knew. Thought all stats were put into amulets hence there is no need to actually wear any armor. Not that I pvp naked though. But I always thought it wouldnt matter.

Tomerant.2701:

I found myself fighting besides lv 20, lv3, lv80 while other team was full 80.

What level are you talking about? You mean PvE level(the number you see in party UI)?
Because PvE level doesn’t matter at all.

Tomerant.2701:

I couldn’t use any of my utility skills that I use in leveling.

You can access ALL utility skills while in the Heart of the Mists. Just click the arrow up in the utility slot and replace it with whatever you like.

Tomerant.2701:

Yes, I’m aware that you get scaled up to 80. But what’s the point if you still wear crap weapons and deal lot less dmg than some 80.

You can PvP NAKED (Just make sure you equip weapons). All your PvE armor and weapons don’t matter at all. Click the “PvP Build” icon in the upper center of the screen while in the Heart of the Mists, and build your toon however you like.

yep. I was in the middle of a pvp match and I got dced. can’t log back in.

Current leaderboard gives baddies bragging rights when they have absolutely no right to do so. I was with a very bad turret engi once, who just camped home the whole match and complained “wtf is wrong with my team?! Can’t even cap a single point?” I was like “says the home-camping turret engi” He replied “shut up, I’m currently top 25 on leaderboards”. And I was like “You made us 4v5 the whole match you little kitten! Top 25 my kitten” Yeah that was frustrating.

We have these types of players in top 25 now when in fact they shouldn’t even be in top 1000!

I would be a Norn. Because Height is Might! And because I love snow, and hate hot weather.

And I would be an Elementalist. Controlling the elements has always been a fascination of mine.

And I would be a Master Chef because I love to eat.

I for one, don’t like the existing leaderboard, where you just spam games and to hell with the win%, just farm like a bot. However, I also don’t want the previous one wherein you get 3 lucky streaks 100% win rate, make it to top1 on leaderboard, not play for months, play 1 game and you’re back to being top 1.

We want a leaderboard where number of games AND win rate matters. So how about, we multiply the Points earned by the win%? This way, players still need to be active AND have decent win%.

I attached a pic of what the top50 would look like. Decent number of games and decent win rate. This way, players who constantly play with a decent win% would still rise on top.

Chukree.1756:

Because they q instant with their kitten noob mmr

Hmmm this makes sense. I wish I knew my mmr though haha

Covis.6037:

u need to play 14hours.

Hahaha that I couldn’t do. 7hours of gaming a day is already a “no-lifer” to me! Haha

Seriously, I’ve played pvp whole day(7 hours) today and only managed to play 22 matches AND im so kittening tired and got a massive headache. So just wondering how people manage. Haha

And I thought theyre going to change leaderboards to be less grindy. But it’s still as grindy as before.

In Plains of Ashford just near AC entrance somehwere along the following lines:
Gyron Slagskimmer: Besides, what is life without a little mayhem?
Explorer Erin: Well, for one, it’s safe.
Made me smile every time.

And in CoE after choosing p3:
Agent Spire: ooh front door. I like your style.
Made me laugh the first time I heard it. Anet so sneaky. Haha

Dzrkin Blenket.3014:

Hi guys,
it goes like this…most of my pvp games i am in top player list or first in my team.And i lose most of my games…to give you an example games played 80 / 30 wins.
My question is wether that is normal?or i should start searching for a group that i can play pvp with,since i am always going for solo queue?
I find it dificult to control myself not to break my keyboard every time and i am not even a rage person…still it started to kitten me of when i am constantly doing my best but still i lose games and i need more time to get my bonuses and pvp experience…i am pow. ranger with rubicon set and i own the motherkitteners…so what could be my problem?is it me…or the kitten teammates?

Winning 30 games out of 80 is not normal. Normal is around 50%. As people have said, personal score doesn’t matter. You should focus more on how to make your team win. Forget the scoreboard entirely. Best way to win is knowing your class and knowing how to rotate around the map. Know where and where NOT to go. Always +1 your team in your favor, you see a 2v2 at home, make it a 3v2 in favor of your team. You see a 1v3 at far? Chances are your teammate is gonna die anyway so don’t bother going far, and feeding yourself to them, go somewhere else useful. Since you are a ranger, you should learn to position yourself in teamfights, preferrably on high ground and pewpew away. You are rather squishy as a power ranger and can’t be relied upon to stand on points where it is AoE hell, leave it to the bunkers,(if your team has one). If none, then gg, just kill all the enemies then cap point if your team managed to wipe them. Win almost all your 1v1 . Know who and who NOT to fight. Never 1v1 a bunker if the point is theirs, you might be able to kill him but it would take too much time, time that was ticking in their favor and not yours. Avoid road fights unless you are harassing an enemy heading to a point you own.

That’s pretty much about it. Hope you do better in your future matches! Good luck!

I have a paranoia that precursor did drop for me from random trash mob but I didn’t loot it.

I’m here to cure your paranoia. It’s impossible to miss. A very large chest (size of a world boss chest) will appear if a precursor dropped from any random mob. Just like small chests appear when you get a rare and medium-sized chest for exotics.

• When I was new to gw2 (like a few minutes old), I had a hard time differentiating the NPCs from the players coz both names are green, and they walk, run, etc., and a chat bubble appears when they talk! So when an NPC talks and waves at me I actually wanted to wave back(but that time ddnt know how to) and think to myself “wow players in this game are really friendly!” Worst part was when an NPC said “Hi! how are you?”, and I actually replied “I’m good, thank you! And you?”. I waited for a reply for a few seconds. It was when he said “Hi! how are you?” again that I realized how dumb I was. Hahaha

• My first toon was a female norn ele at medium height. I ddnt realize, how tall I was until I went to Queensdale and think to myself “Look at all these tiny humans! This is so awesome!” And all the tiny humans are all so amazed at me and kept following me everywhere and be like “are you a norn? :o” with their tiny heads looking up at me. And I’d be like “hell yeah, I am!”

• I love Sylvari, and any one who hates them deserves a special place in hell.

• I think Human is the most boring race. But most armors look best on them so I obligingly made one. :/

• I am an elitist. I want to do anything at maximum efficiency(specially dungeons) and I want everyone in my team to keep up with me, and silently hold a grudge to those who can’t. :/

• I’m a grammar kitten, wrong grammar bothers me to no end. :/

• When someone sucks really hard in a dungeon(like really hard, not just making couple of mistakes), I immediately assume the player is a girl irl. :/ Don’t get me wrong, most of my girl friends are awesome. Being good in a video game doesn’t have anything to do with gender, but based on my experience(playing MMOs for 10 years now), girls can be as good or even better than boys but, I’ve never known boys who suck as hard as some of the girls I know.

• When a toon looks great I assume the player is a girl irl. If the toon looks ugly, I immediately assume the owner is a male irl. I think all female human thieves with the underboob-showing armor are all males irl, and all toons wearing kittenty armors for that matter.

• When I am in a PvP Match and I see someone sporting a Fashion Collector title wearing 1 or more legendaries in my team, I immediately assume they are bad, which is accurate 90% of the time.

• When I see 3 thieves on enemy team, I feel ever so happy. But when I see 3 thieves on my team, I die a little inside.

• I love showing off my dragon finisher in AC to scare/impress noobs. You’d be amazed how many of them actually tried PvP to get cool finishers.

• I hate WvW players who step into PvP thinking they would still be as awesome as they were in WvW, coz most of the time, they’re bad.

• I try not to do PvP with friends when I’m having PMS coz I might snap at them if we lose. They’ll hate me forever for losing my temper but for me, it’s just a normal monthly thing where every little thing makes my blood boil. Same thing with dungeon speedruns.

• I have crafted 5 legendaries and 2 full sets(heavy and light) of ascended armor and never had more than 150g on my inventory. It’s like when I feel I have loads of gold(150g is a lot to me), I have the need to spend it. I spend gold gambling in MF because I don’t have better use of my gold.

• I’m quite lucky in precursor drops both in open world and MF so I’m quite sad that precursors will be craftable in the HoT expansion. I know, I know. Please don’t hate me.

• I genuinely feel happy for any one who gets lucky drops(precs, exotics, charged cores/lodestones, etc), be it from dungeons or MF coz I know the feeling.

• Whenever someone shouts in map chat that they just need a little more mats or gold to finish something(be it legendary or ascended stuff or just some cool-looking weapon), I always give them whatever I can, regardless if they’re lying or not. Shame on them if they’re lying though. Lol.

Interesting thread with interesting people replying! I don’t usually post but I’m kinda bored so here goes:

• I’m 24, Female
• I have a degree in Computer Science and worked as a Software Engineer in Japan for 3 years. Went back home for almost 2 years and will be going back to Japan again as a Network Engineer.
• My japanese is pretty good, I could basically watch anime without subtitles on.
• I’m a home buddy who would rather binge-watch anime, movies, etc and play mmos.
• I love eating so I really love watching cooking shows! But I rarely cook cause I’m really lazy but when I do, it’s so yummy(or I might just be biased on that) Lol!
• People’s first impression of me is shy/timid but I’m really very talkative! Haha
• I love reading books and travelling. I’ve already read hundreds of books in my 24 years of existence.
• I’m extremely laidback BUT extremely driven(Phlegmatic-Choleric ftw!). It really drives me crazy. It is really hard for me to get started on a project due to my inherent laidback attitude but once I start something, I won’t rest till I finish it. I never do anything halfway, it’s all or nothing!
• Due to my all-or-nothing attitude, I either PvP exclusively or PvE exclusively. No mix. Lol. I played PvP exclusively for many months. I got 5 champions but ele and warrior are my favorites. I really love PvPing in almost any MMOs I have played. I love winning 1v1 and team fights (no more than 5v5). And losing makes me reflect on the mistakes I’ve made and improve on it in the future. I go exclusive PvE to grind for legendaries(currently I have 5) and pretty armor, coz above all else, I love looking pretty. Lately, I’ve been doing PvE exclusively coz I’m saving up gold for the upcoming new legendaries! And PvP does get boring with only 1 game mode. So Im pretty excited for the upcoming new pvp mode as well!
• WvW doesnt interest me coz I’m too lazy to gear up for it. I play lots of classes and I wouldn’t be bothered to gear them all up just for zerg vs zerg, zerg vs door, loads of running around, and occasional 1v1, when I can just go to HotM, hop on any class I feel playing atm, and kick butts to my heart’s content.
• I love jumping puzzles. I’ve finished ALL the JPs in gw2. Looking forward to new JPs in the next expansion!
• Finally, my favorite colors are blue, yellow and pink. My toons are always dyed in these colors.

How did you get it?
Crafted 5 (Twilight, Kudzu, Bifrost, Sunrise, Incinerator)

How long did it take you to gather the materials and what methods did you use?
I crafted my legendaries in the following order:

1. Precursor
The reason I do this first is that it is the hardest to obtain and once you have it, the rest is super easy. It takes me 3-5 weeks of trying in the Mystic Forge to get a prec. I always craft rare 80 weapons, much cheaper than buying them off TP. My rule when gambling is to never spend more than 150g per try. As the saying goes, “better luck next time”. I never do it in 1 sitting. I don’t gamble everyday either. Prolly 2 times a week. I just take it easy, no pressure. I have the “No-prec?-no problem-it-will-eventually-drop” optimistic, “never-lose-hope” mentality. Haha The following are the results of my labor:
The Legend: MF drop after 4th try. Spent 7g. TP cost was 1,200g
Dawn: MF drop. 3 weeks of trying. Spent 200g. TP cost was 1,100g
Spark: MF drop. 5 weeks of trying. Spent 400g. TP cost was 1,300g
Dusk and Leaf of Kudzu were lucky drops from dungeons.

2. Gift of Mastery:
Among all the gifts, this is the easiest to complete so I immediately craft it once I’ve secured a prec. I’ve been playing since release so I already gathered all the mats without really trying by the time I decided to make a legendary. I can instantly craft this if I have Gift Of Exploration. World completion takes me 1 week(2hours a day) to finish. But it still depends on your server’s performance in wvw, in worst case you might have to wait for a month to complete wvw maps.

3. Gift of <Legendary Weapon>: 1 week of farming dungeons(4-5 hours a day) except Gift of Sunrise took 2 weeks coz charged lodestones are so expensive.

4. Gift of Fortune:
I do this last coz you can always get t5/t6 mats and rares for ectos everytime you farm dungeons. Usually takes me 1 week to finish this coz I always have lots laurels(around 100-200) saved up beforehand just for this gift.

Did you enjoy it?
Not really. Lol. Map completion and grinding dungeons for gold were mind numbing. But I do get a shiny for my effort, which is nice.

Tom Gore.4035:

Can we just call them Celementalists? Cele Ele doesn’t sound very good.

Celementalists and Celengineers. LOL

Knowing what to prioritize, ressing or stomping. It depends on different situations.

SobeSoul.6910:

A lot of the players who whine about cele will die in any meta lol

And if you are using churning earth against your opponents you are pretty much saying “you are bad”.

lol ikr the fact that I remembered using churning earth against them must mean something. I rarely (if never) use it. Only way I can use it is in a 3v3(and above) when I’m not the one being focused.

don’t blame your death to the d/d cele ele if you never dodge at all. :/

Just ranting coz of all the hate I get playing d/d cele ele when in fact the reason they lost is not because I’m OP but because they don’t play smart(doesnt dodge my main attacks(churning earth, fire grab)/doesnt kite etc.).

I just hope that when they do nerf this build, they dont nerf it to the ground that it becomes unviable. So far I prefer this cele ele/engi meta over all the brainless meta we’ve had before.(i.e. spirit ranger, lichform111necro, hambow etc) But then again I main ele, so I might be biased. D;

I see haha. So no matter how much you lost at 0 ladderpoints, it wont matter at all.

For example you have 0 wins 5 losses, and lost 1 ladderpoint for each loss. Shouldn’t your ladder point be at -5? So what if you won 5 times later and gain 1 ladderpoint for each win. Shouldn’t your ladderpoint be at 0?(coz you were -5 before) or would it ignore your first 5 losses and give you 5 ladderpoints?

For example we reverse the situation, you won 5 times straight first. You now have 5 ladder points. Then lost 5 times. So you’re back to 0 points now.

My point is both scenarios have 5 wins 5 losses but 1st scenario gives you 5 points coz you lost 5 times first and won later on. While the 2nd scenario leaves you at 0 points coz you won first and lost later.

Enlighten me pls.

art.1402:

Here we go. My first threat about ANY VIDEOGAME i have played my whole life. I am just gonna say i have played 10 games since the new "balance patch " has come and the results were … well you guessed it 10 loses. Now i dont care about winning 10 times in a row or losing 10 times in a row, the point is this game is NOT BALANCED. Seven or eight of those loses were against PREMADE TEAMS while i soloQ with other people. Please tell me ARENANET do you think this is good game design ? I also forgot to mention i play since release and i am 80 rank in PVP with alot of games played , like 2k or so if that matters. This screenshot is just example of the results , the highest we got was like 120-30 points in one of the games. Discuss and share your opinions cuz i want to hear them. Have a nice day.

Glad I’m not the only one. Decided to try ranked matches today for the first time and I ended up feeling frustrated as well. 1 win 5losses. D; I wouldn’t say I’m uber skilled but i wouldn’t say I’m uber terrible either. Prepatch when I was playing pvp exclusively, I go between rank 200-1000 for solo arena and 300-1000 for team arena, across 2k(1.5k games team arena, 500 games solo arena) games. Most of the time I queue solo though. I was starting to think I’ve gotten really terrible!

I really love gw2 pvp, but at this rate, I don’t see any point in playing pvp when it gets me more stressed than my job D; I’m a programmer btw (not that it matters) and you know how stressful that is. Haha

So you can now also see enemy icons on minimap.

But, but…

The icons overlap! for example I see 3 enemy icons on mid point, I cannot see my own teammates’ icons because the enemy icons overlap them. I cannot evaluate properly
who and how many among my team mates are on mid/far/home point. Why not make the icons transparent? So that you can see all of them in one point? I mean, previous minimap was much more readable to me. Just knowing where my team mates are, watching for downed enemy/team mates icons, watching my team mates’ health bars were enough to know where I’m needed the most. Right now, most of the time, I just see enemy icons on points.

TLDR: Please make minimap icons(both enemy and ally class icons) transparent so that they dont overlap.

5v5 please.

New skins(armor and weapon) that can ONLY be obtained through PvP but can be used in PvE. Skins must have this wow factor(eg. glowing effect) in them that would make PvP players stand out.

Amazing thread! This is exactly my whole experience in Solo queue!(Except I was from 35% to 400s) I thought I was the only one who’s experiencing this. I noticed below rank 1000, matches are full of frustrating 4v5s, easy wins and easy losses. At top 1000, matches are getting better, less leavers, less 4v5s. At around rank 500, even harder matches coz of the “5 best vs. 5 worst” matchmaking. Sometimes I’d be one of the “best” team, sometimes Id be in the “worst” team. When I’m in the “best” team, chances of winning are higher of course. And when I’m in the “worst” team, chances of losing are higher but there are also a few times that we won against the “best” team, but it is always hard-won(with sweat and blood lol)

I hope ANet fix matchmaking ASAP. I dont get it why they did it this way. Why have the best fight against the worst? Just doesnt make sense.

Thanks for posting this btw. Totally an eye-opener.

I would have spammed “STOOOOOOOOOOOMP” on team chat. LOL.
I’ve had teammates worse than that. T-T

Shouldnt you scale decay by the the current pvp population.
I estimate the current pvp population(for solo arena) right now is around 8.3k.
Why not make decay 1%(just an example) of pvp population everyday.
So For example if player X has not played pvp within 24 hours,
he’d go down leaderboard 83 places. Another 83 places if he
doesnt play again within 24 hours. This way the ones who would
be on top would be the deserving active pvp players.

Look at the leaderboard(solo arena) right now. Look at the top 3, all are afks
preserving their ranks. Whereas other players are more deserving
for that top 3 spot. If they want to preserve their spot they should at least play
1 game everyday. Current pvp leaderboards encourages players
to stop playing instead of playing more. :/ Why would you encourage
your players to stop playing???

gaaaah welcome to the club. When I first started solo queue I lost more than won and started at 30% ranking despite how much I am trying to help my team… Then got lucky along the way reached top 800. then lost again and again, went back down to 40%, but I still kept on playing it stabilized to 77%. And lately I’ve been losing 4v5 5 times in a row!!! Ridiculous. I’m down to 50% now. I’m really hating solo queue so much.

Lux.7169:

---

edit: my theory is that your suggestion will greatly amplify the worsening of pvp. Players will go out of their way to constantly do as many “skirmishes” off node to farm their rank up on that LB.

yeah. I’ve also thought about that actually, but Winning for the team should still be the utmost priority, that is what the current leaderboards is all about(albeit its flaws). The best “roles, etc.” are just extras just like best “scorer/assists/steals” in sports. Or that’s just me. :p

dejay.2598:

the only problems with leaderboard are :

1) slow decay, and if you play 1 game the decay is removed win or lose
2) matchmaking not randomly splitting players for solo que, IE : top ranked team vs low ranked team in a long que
3) low population, nothing you can do about that. Maybe focus on giving us things to actually do when we log on

yeah, I agree with all those problems too.

Sadly, the current PvP Leaderboards doesnt reflect your actual skill in pvp.
Ok so you are in the top 1000 for let’s say Team Queue. Then what? It just means
that you play with 100% premades most of the time. Or if you don’t play with premades like me, who gamble on queueing solo, duo or triple on team queue(because let’s face it, your pvp mates are not always on when you’re on), it only means that you are the top 1000 luckiest players to:

1. be on a team that carried their own weight to victory.
2. be on a team that you (somehow) managed to carry to victory.
3. be on a team that carried you to victory. (you lucky kitten)
4. be matched against less experienced teams.(deer/rabbit)

And the above points are the same for Solo Queue Leaderboards.
A good player can carry one baddie I suppose, but he cannot carry
the whole team. In the end it’s all about who you team up with.

So my point is gw2 pvp is not all about the win per se, it’s all about the different roles(bunker, dpser, conditioner,roamer,etc) each team member has to pull off to win. So what I’m suggesting is a different set of leaderboards for each role. Like, best defender, best skirmisher, best assaulter or best something, etc.

I currently don’t have a concrete set of roles in mind yet, but you get the idea.
Because the current leaderboard is 75% luck 25%skill.
What do you guyz think? Or do you have any more suggestions on making the leaderboard more about skill than luck? Let us hear them.

P.S. I’m not suggesting removal of current leaderboard. Just additional ones.

It would defeat the purpose of the class if players could just immediately tell the real mesmer with just a [Tab].

Archaon.6245:

Nezia.8154:

P.S. This suggestion is for Solo Arena btw because players on Team Arena are usually on voip and the spectator mode might be exploited.

Everything good…but keep in mind that top 100 soloq are almost always in sinc and on ts too like everyone, except maybe anet, knows…

yeah, these are on grounds that syncing is NOT possible on solo queue.

RaynStargaze.6510:

so i just have everyone disconnect until its a 1v1 between 2 classes where my team counters the opponents – or just have someone with very high mobility go for caps and kills all the time or…

Try doing that on solo queue. You can’t just tell people to disconnect. Specially in solo queue. No one listens in solo queue. duh.

NevirSayDie.6235:

It might not go over well to kick a good player to spectator mode to make up for a DC. Some team compositions work much better with 4v4 or 3v3—for example, if your team is very defensive and already has two points, it’s almost impossible for the opposing team to overcome your bunkers with only three players against three bunkers.

This is a good point actually. But 3(even 2) players could still take down a bunker. Once they take the point, the bunker would have a hard time taking it back again, because bunkers dont do much damage. Still depends on team strategy. But still a fairer fight than 4v5.

NevirSayDie.6235:

Besides, it seems strange to kick a player out just because someone on the other team ragequit.

It’s also not fair for a team to lose because of a kittening rage quitter.

NevirSayDie.6235:

Also, being idle for 30 seconds may just mean you’re defending midpoint and no one has come to attack you.

yeah, about 30 seconds idle time, it doesnt have to be necessarily 30 secs. Some people might find it too short. 30 secs is just an example. Of course the system would have to warn the suspected afk player. Something like “You have been detected idle for 30 seconds(or whatever time period). If we don’t detect any movement within 5 seconds(or whatever time period again), a prompt will be given to your team mates that you are AFK.” AFK players in the middle of the game is kittening annoying. Why do a tournament if you’re gonna Akitten the middle of it?

NevirSayDie.6235:

Not sure about forgiving DCs. If your connection quality is poor, I think that should be reflected in your matchmaking—i.e. you could be a great player but if you’re lagging out/dc’ing constantly you won’t be able to compete at as high of a level as you could otherwise.

DCing players, although it’s not their fault, are also hurting their team mates. Why must your team mates suffer for your poor connection?

Ok so I have been in a losing/winning streak because of 4v5/5v4. This is getting ridiculous!! Where’s the fun?! Aside from the unfair matchmaking system(all tigers on one side, wolves,deers,rabbits on the other) we also have this problem to face!! 4v5.

I’ve been losing a lot(and in streaks too) because of 4v5 it’s so depressing! /wrist /cry /rage. I rather not look at my rankings in leaderboards now. (/cry again)

As much as I hate the PvP system, I love PvP so instead of rage quitting from gw2 completely (I’ve threatened to do this countless times) I’d just give some suggestions to save PvP from this hellhole and PvPers from hair-pulling frustrations.

1.Add a “Ready” button before starting a match. Don’t start the match until everyone
has pressed “Ready”. This assures fair 5v5(with no afkers) at the start of the game.
This has been suggested by many I think. This shouldn’t be very hard to implement.

2.In case of leavers/dc in the middle of the game, if the system detects the match
is uneven (4v5), the match will pause and will have the still-5-membered team to
evict a team member so that the match will be an even 4v4. The evicted member
can choose to go on spectator mode or leave the match but either way, the
win/loss of his team will be carried over to his pvp stats.

-If the DCed member relogs while match is still going on, he’s gonna be put on
spectator mode. Win/loss of his team will be carried over to his pvp stats.

-If the DCed member did not relog 5 minutes after the match ended, it will be
automatic loss. Same goes for leavers(those who clicked “Leave Match” AND IS
NOT on spectator mode).

Explanation on the 5-minute allowance after end of match:
For example you got DCed at 400-200 in favor of your team and when you relogged(2 minutes later) game is already over, your team won. It would be unfair to count it as a loss on your part, so for this case, the system must give a 5-minute allowance after end of match to give chance for DCed players to relog. If you cannot relog 5 minutes after the match ended, it will be automatic loss.

-Chatting is disabled on spectator mode.

-Leaving spectator mode will still affect your stats depending on the win/loss of
your team.

3.In case of AFKers in the middle of a match. The game will detect if a player has been idle for 30 seconds then will ask the team:

“kittenbag has been idle for 30 seconds. Do you still want to continue with him?”
A: Yes, we will continue with him.
B: No, kick him out of the team.

Players who are kicked as AFK will receive automatic loss.

So these are my suggestions. Questions/comments/suggestions are welcome. (?^_^?)
Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!(Please be kind to me.)

P.S. This suggestion is for Solo Arena btw because players on Team Arena are usually on voip and the spectator mode might be exploited.

I totally agree about internal cooldowns! As an ele, seing when my traited “condition removal on dodge” is ready would be great. I hate wasting my dodges!
