New players are matched with and against veteran players, most of time you wont do any good in 1v1 not knowing game well.
Tho in decemember new leaguage system is incoming, which will match winning players against winning players and will be divided in multiply tiers. Hopely that will solve veteran&new players problems.
I would recomend to 2v1 people. One of you should run celestial (bunkerish) and other high mobility marauder (dps) build.
Also try using effective conquest builds, you can find them at metabattle.com. After some time you will able make your own builds and learn how to counter enemy, but at start its better to use meta builds.
Game has another game mode called wvwvw, which has more traditional mmo feel to it. For it you need everything you would need in other rpg, gear level and good guild. Its basicly open world battlegrounds full of unbalanced scale fights…
I believe its several times faster to complete personal story lv10 than to do any pvp track. I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t add 1key/1track/1week for those who have core game.
Another useless warrior elite with 240sec cd and no synergy with the traits. Aaaand its super easy to counter, team has to be newbies not to counter it. I believe its 66% or less downstate hp having poison.
They fixed banner radius, but tool tip still isnt. Rename “revives” to “may revive” and lets move on…
Sometimes character name bugs out and doesn’t appear over head, it is shown bellow legs of character and seems character having 2 or 3 times less radius to target?
Its super anoying in spvp, usualy one guy from enemy team has their name bugged. Anyone facing same problem?
I’ve seen some engis atempting to do the same from stealth, good thing my warrior 25% endure pain works like charm. After that they dont last long tho..
They should make ranked games number cap, otherwise it will be grind fest. Cap could be lets say 50games/month. After 50 games mark leaderboards could count only latest ranked games played or not.
Like my previuos mmorpg had similar thing. Whole season took 3 months, at the end latest games were 150 (50+50+50). Just game had different gamescount/period adjustments.
This is great idea, it would save bunch of inventory slots.
Most of time I don’t even notice when track changes and keep doing wrong tack. Can’t even tell when previuos completed, cause usualy I dont look at track progress at end of game.
I’m pretty sure back then ranger was coming to mine after we cleared mine. Plus throw rock effects should be fixed in wiki. Anyway would like to see some environmental weapons in pvp. Place as waterfall could have some healing spring.
You can catch warrior downstate rock! You just need to time your catching skills…. there was some warrior downstate and somehow I got he’s rock as bundle? Or just mine got much rocks..
Mesmer clones are there to keep people from using the mini-map to quickly locate the real mesmer, asking to remove them would be like asking for the thief icon to remain on the map while stealth is active.
Im pretty sure he ment team mesmer clones visible for other teammates.
shadow pursuit: this trap was destroyed with the cooldown on destroy. while the increase in might duration is nice this trap will not see any use even with this change.
I think shadow pursuit most underrated utility in game.
For mobility between points, skill have 10 000 range to port which is crazy. Instant help for close after clean up in mid, ninja decaps for far and all other possibilities you can do with it.
For 1v1/mid fights; you can use it as 10s stun breaker, just need to predict enemy when enemy heavy cc will land. It may be used as extra stealth escape. Also it was used a lot for tracking other thieves or mesmers in 1v1 fights. Plus it works great with improvisation trait.
Well I had +3win-21lose in https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/ too, but didn’t made screenshot. That makes 25games per hour. So my games last 2minutes, lessmore than que window pops.
It rolled your previous 31 desertions into it, but this is a recent change in what we display, so that’s why it had the sudden jump.
Correct: 21 desertions, 10 of those were before the test ladder season started.
Thanks for response. It was done for all players or only me? Tho I don’t really care about my score, just want devs make leaderboards right. Plus most of those desertions were wins, so I’m happy with that.

Strange thing happened today… somehow for 2 hours of soloque play, statistics gave me -20lose, funny thing I lost maybe 1game from 10. Maybe there somekind of bug hidding, just letting devs know.
Yes, my statistics aren’t good, because I get dc often (but instant relogin) plus I do change profession to bunker to win the matches.
Edit: In case someone noticed some ninja loses, it’s because desertions wasn’t counted before. I changed topic title to be more clear.
They just need to cap ranked games, lets say 150 games/month.
And add some token reward for ranked wins, as it was old paid game tournaments.
Vendor could sell something casual for 10 or 50 tokens, and items that would cost 100 200. So, to buy something expensive would take at least 2 month to get, having good win ratio would be benefit to get things faster.
ANet never would add to game something rewarding, cause ranked games titles probably were only fun thing to accomplish. /Still waiting for Legendary Champion Shadow title/for xxxx tournies lol
Its interesting that friend of mine, who basically is new to gw2, tried this turret build, and he beats me and other friends by not knowing what doing. So, if newbie > veteran, its hard to imagine what mastered engi can do in 1v1.
I don’t care if turret engi will be nerfed or not, but I just hope anet wont boost them more lol..
Haha! Author probably was 2 hours ago in same game match as I were. There was one mad ranger did all of above mentioned things..
Every 5 games it repeats, appears one guy who tells crap and goes afk, it doesn’t matter if point difference is only 50 points they still go afk/teach everyone.
Somebody said to dodge ranger lb 3 skill, so did you tried by yourself? By dodging 2times you still get 5 from 10 hits. Plus it has target lock, even going to stealth will still hit all hits to target.
Last games soloque team arena was perfect, maybe there was some ninja update.
And the truth is you don’t get soloquers vs premades (well, unless you going team arena not in prime time/late night, especially when getting same people). If you would ask your teammates if they are in party answer would be they are in 2-3 friends party, and you are only or 2nd soloquer in team.
And even somebody have many loses, it doesn’t mean they are bad. Most of games ended very close 401-500 / 499-500, plus random game disconnects that makes you instant lose.
I have exactly same issue, occurring since April 23. (I’m not sure, but it may happened previuos updates, but after relaunching I was able to continue update the game in past)
I am pretty sure its happening because of my poor wireless internet connection. Connection sometimes drops to minimum, cause of weak signal, but it gets back quick to normal speed.
Download speed is slow comparing to these days internet, but I was able to update past April 23 date.
It seems others having same issue… So I am wondering what changed, or its coincidence and maybe my internet became even worse than before?
Would you keep rank acquisition the same as it is now?
If not, what would you do to improve rank acquisition?
I wouldn’t keep same rank acquisition cause of glory/rank farm arenas keep going. Right now mostly all high rank players farmed their rank, not achieved by winning tPvP or something. ( Current rank system after skyhammer introduced mostly is for finishers, armorskins and who farms the longer. Tho before rank/glory farm arenas started it didn’t felt wrong to have such unreachable goal. )
I rather feel getting somewhere by getting skill based achievements such as champion titles, winning tPvP matches. Rank acquisition should be related to tpvp, maybe even excluded from hot join. It have to be something related to winning, exclusive achievements and tournament pvp.
PS: I forgot mention I play structured PvP only, I don’t have gold or anything valuable either. The idea is that I see many people supports rank-farm arenas, but it seems they play sPvP rarely. I think its common that all WvWvW-PvE players who farmed (Not PvPed for ) their rank in some hot join will want no changes.
i dont know if this is just coincidental but when I forced the process gw2.exe closed from Task manager I got in immediately on the next try…. probalby just luck.
