Guild Wars 2

Matchmaking shouldnt be related at all to glory ranks. They are meaningless.

A good new player would have to farm for 8 months to compete

EU servers: too many people

You

Oblivion.8307:

The fact you can potentially use it 3 times uninterrupted means it is strong.

The problem is stability then, not ether renewal.

imo the fastest fix would be to remove vigor from soothing disruption

Was a good read until he said Ether renewal is too strong.

The easiest skill to interrupt in the game, giving you 20 seconds of low hp ele

soon

1) Ele
2) Ele
3) Ele
4) Ele
5) Ele

OH wait. It’s not true.

Zanthrax.6538:

and hopefully anet and the broader community….is that there IS a community for PvP and that there IS a demand so to speak….i dont think you can say " yea and all 10 people that PvP still " …. while many may still only do it for laurels or whatever i do believe this shows that PvP can be quite profitable and has the potential with proper care from anet to flourish….cmon anet i believe in you please focus on pvp and then some!

savov.3712:

Just noticed that there are a lot more pages to browse through. Up to page 40 which is 1000 players:
https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/pvp?page=40
Also if u log in, your name will be marked so its more easy to spot urself while going through the pages.
That was quick and Im happy with my resault. ^^
Sorry if this doesnt deserve its own thread, but its pretty big.
gl hf

Over the course of the next week or two, we’ll continue to expand and show more players, and add new search features once each feature set is stabilized.

Can you guys look into this bug?

“Me and some friends have experienced it.
When you are browsing the EU ladders and you go fastly throught the pages, it will take you to the NA leaderboard without asking. If you dont realize they moved you to NA, you will never find yourself. it’s very annoying also, because you have to go back to page1”

you have to log in 1st

Rating already drops if you afk for weeks. It happened to me. (and no, there was no reset)

Kwll.1468:

We also need a fix for people dropping out of matches not affecting your rating. That should be number 1 priority.

Let’s say it in every topic so everyone fins out!

Leagues?
Tournaments?
Scrims?
Training?
Duels?
Deathmatch?
Love?

please fix it asap

2 pre made would end up voting in a draw. Id rather see each team bans 1 map

silvermember.8941:

So if you actually care about rank, solo queuing is a horrible idea and since I have no friends, am I screwed? Is that what is hot on the street, Arenanet? added: ( I don’t care that much NOW, but I kinda feel paranoid going into a match, since my last 3 queues have been horrible).

This is an mmo, so yeah. If you don’t have friends you are screwed

It seems someone is mad because he is not in the top 100

bhagwad.4281:

So I checked out the leaderboards today and I just saw a list of people I didn’t know. To me, this isn’t as useful compared to a system where I can see what percentile I personally fall into.

So while it’s nice for those who make it to the top 100, I want to know where I personally stand. Am I average, good, or bad?

Number of players shown will be expanded this week coming

ColinJohanson.2394:

Lok.3102:

Top 100 only? Talk about underwhelming. That’s not many players at all. At least show Top 1000. Most your playerbase are not in the Top 100. I didn’t realize you were releasing this feature to be useless to most players. A lot of people want to know where they stand and if they’re progressing, but they may not be in the Top 100.

The list will continue to be expanded over the next week, we’ve got it at the top 100 today to ensure the site handles the traffic load initially, and then we’ll continue to expand listings and search options. Fear not, you’ll be able to search regardless where you are on the ladder and know what % you fall into over-all.

Nice1!

Leaderboards should be class specific :/

Right now it doesn’t promote learning new classes, since you will drop your ranking.

Its a good start, though

+1 they are so hard to find lol

About the gwleage, i dont think it’s possible to host a match without the custom arenas. It will take a while to organize the people inside the hotjoin server.

Yeah utilities are so bad designed…

For example the ele has cantrips that are overpowered and at the same time it has signets, gylphs and conjured weapons that, unless very well used, are kitten. (Signet of restoration is strong, though)

Awesome initiative. Already signed up.

why is everyone trolling? jesus

Sticky, please

Dont let the thiefs do what they want
CC and then spike your target
When someone is downed 1 guy stomps with stability/invulnerability. The others deal damage (preferably aoe)
Be careful with enemy timewarp & necro wells
Only the guardian should stay inside the node

i guess monday-tuesday

please, go back to pve

Shay.7534:

Fractals of the Mists has map randomness since their launch in November and they also have a few random elements inside the map.

No map rotation is also gamebreaking for me. But it’s not even on the top of priorities.

nope. If you want to donate money use the gem store

Leaderboards should come soon (this week maybe). Then we will see way more action, hopefully

You definitely need a bunker guardian if you want to win regularly. So talk with your dps guardian and tell him how important it’s to have a bunker.

For kyhlo:

Guardian —> bunker clocktower
Mesmer --> Deffends close point + portal
Ele semibunker—> Decaps far point and tries to hold it neutralaized as much as possible

The other 2 (engineer and random guy) should move (separately) between close point, middle point and enemy trebuchet. You will need one strong DPS to help the mesmer if he is fighting an ele.

If you want to bunker id recommend you to reroll to guardian so you could play: mesmer, guardian, ele, ele/thief, random. A very strong composition.

2v2 and 3v3 would be so fun and would bring so many players from “the other mmorpg”

Cmon anet, make it happen already!

PvP is already Cross server. Maybe you are talking about cross region (EU/NA) but i can’t see it happening.

A cross server heart of the mists would be amazing, th0.

ahuba.6430:

have fun in 20 minute healer/dps vs healer/dps games.

This.

Also, have fun farming your gear. I’m sure the grind will be worth it.

Visible ladders are too mainstream

Epidemic was a fair fix

Imagine for one second that Anet put some money into PvP and gathered some devs to make a deathmatch/arena mode. The mode is similar to wow’s: you have 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 brackets in a small circular map where you have to fight to death. The only elements in the map are a few pillars to hide. Downed state is ON.

Also imagine that bunkers are balanced, and a 2x bunker team is not invincible.

• What classes/specs would you play in your 2v2 team ?

Id play staff ele + thief.
As a staff ele I would play a supportive build. My role would be to CC, knockback, heal and cleanse.
I would also run this trait to buff fury with the frost field + blast combo.
If we were low HP we would pop the big water fields and blast them for extra healing.

What about you? Which classes would you play?
This thread is for pure entertainment, so don’t start the balance wars!

Elo based skins should be in the game

Was the bug invisible as well?

This ^

1st they said leaderboards were coming on february.

• delayed without any official information.

Then they said leaderboards would come on march

• Were delayed too.

My random thoughts:

They deceived us so many times that now, for me, it’s impossible to trust Anet anymore. Trust is something you have to earn, and when you lose it, you can only recover it working very hard. Instead, they announce invisible leaderboards that probably don’t exist at all. If they worked internally we would have seen a picture. Maybe we could have bought the game with invisible money too.

I have deffended this pvp since release and I have done my best to promote it. Not as an esport (this word makes me laugh every time I see it in the same sentence as GW2) but as an enjoyable pvp experience.

However, when you look at pve, all features are visible and every patch implements something relevant. I don’t know what happened but the management of GW2 pvp is poor.

This game could have become the biggest PvP experience in the last years, but whoever puts the money chose to make another safe money pve game. It’s too bad, because the manifesto gave the impression Anet was a brave company.

I’m not angry nor raging, I’m just sad about this situation. At this point, when my friends ask me why am I still playing this game I don’t know what to answer.

“-My frames drop considerably when I ride the lightning.(although it doesn’t always crash when i use this skill).”

Invisible nerf!!

on topic: I hope the anet devs can help you and fix it asap

Force them into water with your regular skills. Most fotm eles will use it even if you dont force it, just because it’s not in CD so let’s use it.
When water is in CD pop your dps combo and/or conditions

NERF leaderboards invisibility
it’s too strong, i have tried everything yet i cant see them

pedrst.3127:

Rerroll.9083:

PvA

Players vs arena net

KvW

Karl vs warriors

Actually this made me giggle a little bit. Wasn’t there a time, i think something around 6 months ago where everybody thought the devs played warriors?

They play minion necros now

Also, blizzard’s son plays ele. Lol

PvA

Players vs arena net

KvW

Karl vs warriors

xehn.3420:

Anyone else having lag on that map?

It’s not only foefire. When the population is too high, every pvp map is laggy for some people (apparently not for everyone).

Anet should look into this if they ever want the game to grow

Evan Lesh.3295:

Dirame.8521:

I was thinking about Custom Arenas recently and an idea popped in my head; could we be allowed to set the boundaries of a map? For instance, could we be allowed to say only the middle of Legacy of the Foefire is a combat zone and everyone gets spawned around that area?

I believe having the ability to set boundaries around an area allows for less “running away to heal up” scenarios in the inevitable deathmatch arenas we’re going to get from customs.

I think we’d make new maps before we would do something like that honestly.

Hey Evan, some random thoughts:

• maybe it would be possible to implement the same system personal story has. The one that doesn’t let you leave a certain zone to make a deathmatch fun mode based on some nodes that are already ingame.

• To randomize maps maybe you could use the same pattern Fractals of the mists follows?

• leaderbords?

pvp ftw!
