Guild Wars 2

Heya guys, I am quite happy about the rank changes, I’m very happy of how much value the rank system is loosing, I think it was a terrible way for someone to judge the skill of another player.

I will be happy to be a dragon rank and to be done with this flawed system, even if its selfish of me to think so.

However, players that have worked their butts off to be in the current rank 65+ will get LESS rewarded than I will, this is TERRIBLE these are the most dedicated and well known players of the game and they are just being left in the mud!

They should at LEAST be compensated of the amount of chests equal to every 20k rank points they earned aswell as a title for every 500k RP checkpoint after the 1.1mil requirement of being rank 80. At the very least this should happen! If these people quit, alot will follow!

I’m very happy ranks are losing these values.

I’m quite happy, it won’t take me 6hours for like 15% progression, I’m going to get my life back. Reward the player skill and not the lack of life!

I would prefer Unranked team arena, so I could play with all my friends that are mostly casual instead of having to always play alone or to keep having a terrible Team Q rating.

Warrior rage, music to my ears!

I agree with the OP the ranked solo Q is mostly the reason I dont play much latelly, I don’t feel like being tested in a game after coming home from college. Its also the reason none of my friends even played soloq. Ratings should be removed and duoq should be possible for soloq matches.

Will we be able to level our characters in PvP with the new rewards, like we could with the glory rewards?

Ugruk.4069:

It’s your own kitten faul! You should have seen it comming 1,5 years ago! Shouldnt even touch spvp to be honest….

Calm down buddy, we know how you feel! Even with how terribly developed its been up till now, its still better than ALL the MMOs PvP I’ve played so far, so I’m giving my 2 cents on how I feel right now. In hopes of contributing for a better PvP future.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

this is working as intended, the so called “older and loyal” players are often harder to please, and always seems to keep on threatening to stop playing and leave etc.

new players are motivated by various carrots, and tend to spend more often in the gem store, it is only naturally profitable to take care of the needs of the so called new players.

I understand what you mean buddy :P , but some of us just want our amount of games played to match our ranks, but every time they increase the rank points earned without compensating us, some think we played alot less games and have alot less experience then what we actually do, its like working your butt off for something but then any player can get it much easyer.

Anet compensate us in the past with gladiator points, why can’t they do so now?

‘’Players who already had acquired Gladiator points before the update on September 27, 2007, had their total number of points multiplied by 6 to compensate for the difficulty and raised tiers.
Players who already had acquired Gladiator points before the update on June 2, 2011, had their total number of points multiplied by 8 to compensate for the difficulty and raised tiers.’’

Bart Weird.9671:

So basically hotjoin heros win this and we get no refund at all?

Haha, yes they will buddy, thats how Anet rolls!

Serdoc.7261:

Probably until early May (6th or 13th, not sure which will be patch day).

Would be fun, but I’m not used to being THIS spoiled rotten by Anet.
Only 2 month seems too good to be true honestly :/

Whit.2385:

There is nothing to discuss

Suggestions would be nice, or else the thread will drop in further pages, and it won’t be taken too seriously.

Whit.2385:

You should soon more to what they soon, as they have sooned it many soons before. That soon, it will soon be soon as they have sooned soon. Soon?

silvermember.8941:

It is called progress. just like how price cut screw over loyal gamers that bought the product early, sometimes to improve you most discard the old. If your skins or ranks were being taken from you maybe you might have a point. But at this stage there is very few people PvPing that worrying about screwing them over is less important than having more players.

Also being loyal means what exactly? There is absolutely zero reason to be proud about being loyal to a company. A lot of “loyal” players have been asking for better rewards and improvements, the way I see it they took one side of the loyal fan’s opinion over another.

I understand favouring new players because of the low amount of players though, but rank points weren’t really suppose to do anything instead of showing the player’s experience or dedication to the game. If rank points gained are increased, the system’s accuracy will drop, ranks tend to mean a bit more than people think, but not anymore now.

We knew what we played for, we knew we’d get low rank-points for playing tpvp instead of farming hotjoins. But that doesn’t stop the rank’s original intention to represent experience/dedication, which is now being completely destroyed by its own creator (Anet). The gold is simply a thing of equality, PvErs get to WvW, because they have all necessary resources, and they get to PvP w/e they want. We don’t get to WvW w/e we want, so some gold would’ve been sweet.

Please don’t judge my usage of the word ’’loyal’’ I simply used it as synonym for playing since launch.

xantosnightwish.5438:

New rewards are coming “soon”. They are “being discussed”. They’ll be released “when theyre ready” in a “feature patch” at “some point”.
OH and watch Ready Up this Friday!

With this ‘’coming soon’’ statement, sad to say buddy, but I think we screwed for like 4 to 5 months.

Heya people! I was wondering if anyone in the forums knew how long were we going to be stuck with the patched reward system we just got?

Right now, we get more ranks points, thus that means our ranks are even more worthless as it is easier to get them. And… just a small amount of money, just enough to pay for the paper we wipe our butts with… because we poor pvpers are still poor as a rat.

Not only that, I was 12 levels from reaching level 80 on this character, but now I can’t buy tomes anymore :/.

I have to rank up 12 times to get to level 80, which is a total of 1 270 000 rank points, this would’ve been enough to buy 847 tomes of knowledge. :/

Very happy it is not added, and hope it never will be, reduce rank required, don’t increase rank gained.

lordkrall.7241:

So they should basically never ever change anything whatsoever after the release of the game?

Older players still have all those things from the “good old day” and unless they stop playing they will always be ahead of new players.

Are you serious bro? What the hell do we have from the ‘’good old days’’ you speak of? We were never given anything! Some lucky players used to have a team when paid tourneys existed and those TOP 50, lucky players got a title. I don’t think we were only 50 to do PvP at the start of the game.

I won’t play this game as often as I used to play it, I don’t feel like giving alot more of my life to this game. I played around 4.1k games (not all TPvP tho), and I’m still only rank 51 when I should be close to 60.

I have a life, a girlfriend and I have to study. I don’t feel like playing as much, please just don’t be a greedy prick. If you deserve to be rank 60 from 4k+ games, I do to.

I agree with all of these, please Anet, make this happen, remove these diarrhea stains from your game.

Hey guys, I’ve been a player since launch, mostly for the PvP as I believe the PvE to be way more boring than it should be. The PvP state has always had lots of issues, It had things right and other things terribly wrong.

But despite everything wrong, its a game that has incredible potential because of it’s gameplay. Me and lots of friends patiently waited for the patches while handling the frustration of the issues. Hoping that one day I’t would eventually become the great PvP game we all wanted.

We are still waiting and are still insane enough to keep waiting like beaten dogs who are still loyal.

-Gold in PvP :
‘’Oh you’ve been playing PvP for thousands of hours, let us not give you anything of the new rewards while new players who play thousands of hours will be rich kittens…Enjoy’’

-Increase of Rank points gained in TPvP :
‘’Oh, you’ve played thousands of TPvP matches, let us not grant you your well deserved rank points, and let new players get 2x your rank with the same amount of matches, while the hotjoin heros and skyham farmers still get to keep their higher-than-yours rank’’.

-Increase of Rank points gained accross the board :
‘’Let us increase the rank points earned instead of reducing rank points required, just so our loyal veterans never get compensation for suffering through our game all this time’’.

TL;DR : New players are being favoured when older and loyal players gets left in the dust, us older players never get compensation. Please, discuss,

Heya guys, does anyone know if we get to keep the possibility of earning experience in PvP after the upcoming glory removal patch? Without glory it doesn’t seem possible to get tomes of knowledge, will exp be rewarded at the end of the matches instead?

Seeing Karl only r30-ish was actually very scary, I know, if Allie is doing her job correctly, the balance team is incredibly dense and doesn’t seem to want to change much. But yeah, the community should help get allie up to at least 20-30-ish.

Will it still be possible to level up in PvP after glory is removed? Will you gain exp after a match is over?

Why do players want to make every class easy in this game, you all want to play tanks while being able to do good damage, what happened to the old Risk/Reward philosophy.

Elementalist is practically the only class left who still requires a huge amount of skill to be effective, they take SKILL, burst combos take a LONG while to master. Yet you people want to have that removed for simply more sustain? You want to see the last skill required class get obliterated by Anet’s balance and become brain-dead like most others?

Screw sustain! Give them Mobility, more ways to get out of enemy fire, timing required immunities… give them escapes which requires skill, not more PASSIVE sustain…

florence.1674:

It’s a relationship between 2 people. Should it matter whatever the sexes of the 2 are? Claiming to not be homophobic when making a homophobic point does not absolve the OP from being homophobic.

Race used to matter to people when it comes to relationships. Do you think it’s acceptable to question the race of 2 people in a relationship today?

I think this is completely hilarious, you sound like the old president, with his line ‘’Either you are with us or against us’’. The OP simply expressed his dislikes about the UNEQUALITY of the situation, he points out that the two stated couples are in the spotlight while traditional couples are under the radar.

But what is even more hilarious is the amount of hypocrites (I’m not claiming that you are, but I know there are plenty.) that will gladly support these homosexual couples for the sole reason that they are both female only. However if a male only couple would be introduced… these hypocrites would FLIP THEIR kitten in rage at Anet.

^Yes, very much sir Even, I couldn’t care less about a PvP map, as long as theres new modes, me… and my guild, would be happy.

9/10 Nice Job!
8/10 Wat…
2/10 Wasting your precious seconds of your only Life through in-game grind is part of a dev’s job!

Makes an average of : 6.3/10!

Not sure, but most likely.

Me and my friend might fund a King of the Hill custom arena if people are interested to use it.

King of the Hill is a dueling game mode that takes place in the center of Forest of Niflhel between the 2 spawn points.

The rules are :
-players not leaving the designated area for dueling
-the duel is to death and not t’ill downed.
-the loser goes into spectator mode while someone else gives a try against the winner
-the winner gets to fight someone else until finally defeated

The advantages of this, is you’l often duel good players since only the winners get to stay for an extra duel, while dueling servers are full of players with different skill variation. So you can get better at the game by playing this.

It also gives something fun to do while queueing for Solo Q.

Please comment if you wish to see this happen, if the number of interested players is too low, we might not do it.

Could not +1 this enough, but it should be an interval of 2 weeks instead of 1.

Settler’s amulet, banner regen, HS condi warrior. That disgusting monster can rez downed, buff+ heal them with banner.

The build can bunker, support, and do a decent amount of damage and doesn’t take much skill to play but it matches everything you’re asking.

Nah man, just…. no…., I don’t want Spirit ranger to stay viable, a build that makes spamming #1 actually good does not deserve a spot in PvP.

I WOULD though wan’t to see rangers get other viable builds, which would require the use of most abilities and utilities, seeing beast master come back into the viable scene would be great.

Having other builds than spirit would allow new players who start with ranger to better learn PvP, while making sure that veteran rangers get to feel good about what they play.

Would be sweet man.

I’ve seen in the EU servers, there are custom arenas of forest of Niflhel in which players duel at the center near the spawn points. NA doesn’t seem to have any of these.

The rules consist:
-players not leaving the designated area for dueling
-the duel is to death and not t’ill downed.
-the loser goes into spectator mode while someone else gives a try against the winner
-the winner gets to fight someone else until finally defeated

Before you give the argument… ‘’There are dueling servers out there so we don’t need it.’’ Lemme tell you that most of the people in dueling servers just stand there barely ever wanting to duel. Dueling servers also tend to have huge variation of player skill.

In king of the hill, your opponent is oftenly strong since, only the strong gets to duel again. The spectator mode also allows players who are watching the duel, learn about all the classes.

Why do players want them to keep this system of reduced CD is opponent is hit?

It doesn’t work agaisnt any decent player, any decent playing seeing a giant ball of lightning aiming right at them THEY WILL DODGE, and guess what…? 40sec CD

Yep, re-rolling thief aswell, I hate that people are actually doubting your still when playing a warrior even if you play none of the meta builds in hopes of redeeming yourself. But ehh :P

Now they’ll feel how cheap S/D actually is.

Yes 40 seconds is crazy and cruel, on one of the eles only mobility.

The way I see it, you claim to play in ways that people consider terrible for morality, using cheap tricks and all. If you play like this EXPECT people to crap all over you.

YOU are aware that you a ruining people’s fun for your own, so EXPECT them to hate you. Its YOU’RE DECISION to play like this, take the CONSEQUENCES like a boss. Or else don’t even PLAY if you can’t handle just that.

People like me who never Push/Pull on skyhammer and never glitch the gates or treb for an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE will hate you for this, its very annoying, like being slapped in the kittening face. If you can’t even take the crap people throw at you than don’t freaking complain about it, You are pathethic.

Guys, If this goes through, it’ll get worse, way worse, just like this idea came from using skillpoints to unlock new healing skills.

Imagine how bad this could become, imagine gear tiers in SPVP unlock-able only with glory or skillpoints. These Ideas are ruining the fundamental things that guild wars 2 is known for, and that is equal-footing, and working ONLY for cosmetics.

We need to stop these stupid ideas from getting into the game, we need more people to make some noise and hope this goes away, just like they kept the rank system!

Absolutely, this is one of the main reasons I play Guild Wars 2, I would drop at the second this change comes in.

I think ranks are easy enough to get grouch, nerfing them kinda reduces the fun of finally getting this insanely cool finisher, that was once hard to get, and now everyone has it.

Awesome, can’t wait

I would be interested if the elementalist’s D/D build would become useful as a fighter/roamer player, similar to warrior but not as braindead.

^ This guy.

I respect those who have the balls to play ele in solo Q, and will not blame them for a lost, its a game, they have the right to play how they want.

If the performance of the class is low, blame the balance team and NOT the players.

5/10, I would probably give her a 7 if we could see more of her face, but I dislike when the face looks like it has too much make-up.

Changes that I would make :

-Glass floor would no longer breaks when being stood on.
-Destroyed glass floor by skyhammer stays destroyed for twice as long.
-Skyhammer shots could now be dodgable.

This map gives advantage to some classes that shouldn’t have it, it forces dis-balance into a worse state than it is.

The limit would be nice, but If we can get LOTS of new players to join, they’l be matched up against each-other which would be more fun for them.

As for the team Queue, I think an Option for duo queue should be added to solo Q and then they could make team Q five man only.

This would be my personal suggestion, and this issue is much better than the skyhammer farming one so I’m not too rushed on the fix.
