Guild Wars 2

Another annoying thing:

EU leaderboards dates in MM/DD/YY american format. Seriously….

Grouch please pass this foward to your colleagues

Bump.

GW2 is all about endgame skins, and my endgame skins are incompatible.

This is unacceptable. 300g I poured into this look.

I cant stress how many times my friend lost their chest rewards because they died before the boss was defeated and couldnt make it in time to collect the chest.

I dont understand why a 1 minute timer was implemented, rather than a Ready check UI exactly like we have in Fractals of The Mists after the boss is dead.

Is there really any reason for the timer?

Having beat the content and losing the rewards on a timer-basis is the most frustating thing I have dealt with.

So are you saying you dont want notifications on-quote? Seems a must-have feature for every forum. Whats the point of quoting someone if they arent warned about it?

When someone quotes you, repplies to you, you should get a notification at your inbox so that you can follow the discussion instead of keeping track of every post you make in hope of seeing a response.

Seems rather trivial and a huge quality of life improvement the forum team could take care of

T3 Sylvari Cultural Shoulder Medium Armor + fully upgraded fractal backpiece is the biggest disapointment I have ever had in the Guild Wars series.

The fractal backpiece is buried inside the shoulders leaves, making it impossible to see it glow. This isnt even a hard thing to fix. Just put the backpiece more further away so that it actually sits on the leaves instead of being buried deep inside the armor.

I expect Cultural Armors to be the Armors more polished. And yet a simple, yet monstrous clipping thing persists for 1 year. Please make me and the other Sylvari Engies/Thieves/Rangers happy. Please Anet.

Anyways Daroon. SPvP team is extremely small and as such they have very slow development time. What we think its a simple fix, it’s a hell breaks lose thing to implement for them. Yes we should have the ready check actually being useful, like prevent 4v5 matches from even starting, but its not gonna happen anytime soon with their development cycle.

Bumped.

Ive put this under suggestions and it got buried since that subforum is a joke.

PvP insfractructure is not ready for a big mass influx of players arriving. PvP is not ready for that yet. I talked to some devs and they will work on those features first in order to get it ready for this. Like templates, better tutorials, rewards, improved viewability.

This will all come slowly, obviously, but it will come. They did sold GW1-pvp-only edition for a smaller price and it worked out very good. GW2 pvp should be 5-10bucks, not free. And you should only be able to Queue for Solo Arenas when that account has atleast Rank-10-15.~

It will happen on the long run. Dont expect it now.

Nah. People wrote only because of a giveaway requiring it. Thats pretty sad honestly.

This game is a mess if you are returning for PvP. That’s all the good advice I can give you really.

Stop qqing, the game is fine, the population is growing and it will become an esport in 2 weeks tops.

Most of the difficult is just disguised as trial and error, forcing people to buy the infinite continue coin.

After loving Josh Foreman’s clocktower, I can’t help but tell him that Tribulation mode failed horribly. It caters way too much to that Gem Store item and anyone can complete it with that. Where’s some dodge jump platform sequences? Not just 1 platform! Make us having to do atleast 3 dodge jumps in a row for example, or more situations where you need to bait the rock before going. That is good difficulty, not these trial and errors traps.

Lillypads are laggy/buggy as hell and need to be fixed asap.

I was running tribulation mode with my friend (he doesnt have infinite continue coin), so I had to run him through everything. We got to Toad, managed to kill him but then got killed when Toad died. But since bosses have a stupid 1 minute timer to get to the chest we couldnt make it in time, because of the lillypads acting all messed up.

Having beat the content and unable to get the reward on a timer-basis is the single most frustating thing I have ever experienced in any game.

Why doesn’t SAB has the Ready check like in Fractals? Is there any logic behind not having it?

But hey, they can show the world that they had a 10k tournament.

Especially when 1 year after GW1 launch, they hosted a 100 000 dollar tournament.

*10,000

Grimno I’m reporting a bug and you are doing what exactly?
Setting up a circus for us to laugh at you, the clown?

Did you report it ingame?
Did your party leader leave?

My friends didnt leave. They managed to complete the remaining of Zone 2. We were near the frog.

Grimno I’m reporting a bug and you are doing what exactly?

I was playing tribulation with friends, we were at Zone 2, and suddenly I got teleported to the hub and now it doesnt let me join.

I tried to join several time my friends and Guild Wars 2 crashes with errors.

This is highly unfair as we spent so many hours in there and I got booted for a ridiculous bug and now I lost that progress!

Tribulation mode can only be completed with infinite contiune coin.

I think Mes and Ele are probably ok for the most part, as long as we tone down the conditions output from some classes, and bring the S/D Thief in line.

Wow, just wow….

They are actually good when you take down the builds holding them back. But what do you understand about balance anyways?

• We’re working on new game types.

Thats all you need do, deathmatch and the PvP community will grow.

I really think they are underestimating deathmatch.

I really think you guys are overestimating deathmatch. I guess we will cross that bridge when we get there, and you will remember what I said.

Daecollo.9578:

FOR EXAMPLE:

Wouldn’t it be cool if Sigil of Blood was actually a good Sigil?

Superior Sigil of Blood
30% Chance on Critical: Steal Health (This effect cannot trigger more than three times every 1 second.) This adds Opportunity Cost! So if people blob up together I get to heal more! [Maybe])

Additionally gives your weapon a leech effect when it procs!

Cool! Now I know when it procs because it has a cool unique effect! And its fun to use now because it actually does something significant like the other sigils do!

Agreed on the sigil needing a little oomf.

As to the effect: Yes, I agree it would be nice to know when it goes off. But, the other side of this is that it would add another effect into the game, which can clutter the screen. If we had a unique effect for all sigils/runes, it would create a lot more effects….which again, makes things hard to read.

I do like your idea though!

Dont think about effects only that way Jonathan! You can have a boon-like indicator of sigil of blood, you could have the user’s screen border slighty painted in bloodred, like games do when you have very low health!

These effects are not as toxic because others players dont see them!

Or you can just turn the player colour red, indicating proc, like the box of fun dyeing method works!

Do these mean anything? anyone can get rank 50 in a day form Skyhammer fall farming. So rank finishers don’t mean anything. buy2win players get the cool finishers and make my fps drop on my macpro so its basically they get another free kill because the whomp makes me lag out.

I would have accepted your post if you didn’t write this pile of bullshhit.

Also, what the kitten is with this obession about Deathmatch? You dont understand the fact GW2 not having a dedicated healer doesnt help in having other gamemodes right? You know how a 5v5 DM would end right? The team sneaking out last from their shadow refugee gets a free stomp and then 4v5 the rest.

No.

we definitely esports

Lighter.5631:

im pretty sure they lost 50% of the population in these months.

So 0,24%? That didnt even make Anet blink.

Now I understand why they keep saying, if you are not happy about the current state of pvp you can always come back later to check out whats new. They don’t care if 0,48% takes a break, they got our box sales, as long as the other 99,52% get more content in a faster pace. We can’t blame them for that.

We can blame them though that these numbers are what Anet brought to themselves. PvP isnt big because it isnt big on the priority list either. PvP never got big enough for it’s downfall to be noticed by anyone other than the PvPers.

So the “dedicated” PvP playebase is exactly 0,48%. Seeing this number I honestly can’t blame Anet for not giving a kitten about us. Seriously.

Good for them if they feel their time spent farming ranks is worth. Ranks are a joke and require more grind than 30 GW2 together.

Get OstrichEggs in that show, that is mandatory.

Ostrich is a grateful fanboy who thinks devs do so exceptionally well I can’t tell, that’s what I see on forums.

Then you can’t tell squat. Listen to his stream.

Essence Snow.3194:

I think that it did more harm. Why? Well they hammered home that they would rather focus on making it better to watch than making it better to play. Thus they are committing to a fancy roof while ignoring an unstable foundation.

If they focused more on making the play more fun then they would gather more players, which inturn would increase interest in the format. Population is the meat and potatoes of of what they want, but all they can see is dessert.

They didnt even make it more easy to watch. In fact it was the other way around. They made it easy to play and confusing to watch. Worst tournament match Ive seen so far from the previous GW2 ones.

Hey, looking for a dedicated dungeon/fractals/guild missions guild in EU.
Me and a couple of friends are interested. We are in Gandara.

Interested aswell but for an EU guild

I think at this point there aren’t any fair weather spvpers left. The people still interested in it have stuck through a year of this kitten, one more problem isn’t going to get them to quit, or at least not for long.

Despite all the problems, it was at least nice to see GW2 in a real tournament setting.

Even those dedicated are leaving. Hell, I officially decided to stop playing with my team (Spoons and Sporks) today as its clear the Devs are out of touch with what the player base wants, and are further hamstrung by clear lack of support in the company to do anything about it anyway.

Jumper left, Acandis quit. Lets see how many people from SYNC stay around. You only have about 4 real NA teams remaining outside of SYNC in RNG, Blacklisted, vVv and AL and trust me, at that level of tPvP matchups it gets real boring real fast playing the same 5 teams all night. Mist League proved to be a failure…

Its not a good time for GW2 PvP at all.

Jumper left, Acandis left, Zoose left, Xeph left, Helseth is leaving after next Mist League. Everyone is abandoning ship

Unfortunately, we act like a woman who has suffered long term spousal abuse, but refuses to end the relationship.

This.
This is every dedicated PvPer in GW2. We invested so much we dont want to let it go.

And Im certain Anet realized by now the issue the AI spam is for cluterring the screen.

The petting zoo build lost pax, therefore there is nothing wrong with it.

What does it matter that they lost?

Firstly, they lost purely on backcaps, they had no communication focused on that.

Secondly, so you think because the team with spirit rangers lost, that the amount of spirits and their effects cluttering the screen is forgivable, because they lost?

It’s NOT enjoyable, and it is confusing to watch spirit rangers.

Just double-tap to evade.

First thing I noticed this game desperately needs to improve viewability is:

Remove NPCs HP bars when you are spectating

Tune down skill effects even more

Have every player play a Human character

And Im certain Anet realized by now the issue the AI spam is for cluterring the screen.

Thoughts?

Is it to hard for them to display PDT/GMT on their major events? Like seriously?

Is Helseth banned from the forums permanently? I would like to see his arguments more often

They need to get money from the gemstore. You want the only pvp thing in there to be purchasable easily by gold-gems?

Well Grouch got hired and all I see him do in the forums is general bug shooting, not even pvp related stuff. Don’t think too highly of Anet’s priorities.

Well, to be fair, downed state IS a second chance of coming back up. Basically fits in perfectly with the casual mentality of GW2, where punishing players by making mistakes is avoided at all costs.
After 1 year, the core issues of GW2 combat are beginning to be crystal clear for the dedicated PvP players, because we are the ones who spend more time analysing and improving our combat.

ESO has crappy combat. Regardless of the lack of effort/resources they put into GW2 PvP, we simply dont have much better options right now.

Time is ticking away though. Anet better hurry before those options begin to pop out.

Gandarel, since they clearly show intention of PvP being completely separated from PvE, Im guessing making gold from PvP’ing is not going to be an option.

Atleast this way it encourages people to keep playing, even if its only 1 game per day for the good rank/glory chunk the first win would provide.

Wildstar has a monthly fee. I’m done with that. There is no way a monthly fee MMO can avoid grind. It needs grind hard to keep those monthly payments. It’s not a good business model for the players’ interests.

guess what? still not fixed

Ok “dude”. Keep ignoring team communication in a Team oriented game and gamemode.
