Guild Wars 2

I need both as well. It’s really annoying now.

If they change the achievement, no one will ever play it. This was a terrible move from anet, to add an achievement to “force” people to play.

For me it was a lot more fun last year. I liked having those big fat norns and charrs. It was a challenge and fun. Also there were a lot more people in the instance and the map chat would be interesting, people would rage after failing etc.
Now it just feels like single player, and I have no interest in spending any time there except to do the daily activity.

I like mag because it’s friendly and everyone is cute

Meanwhile on FA…

Same problem here. EU player on NA server.

Same thing here. Friend list is completely broken and I can’t see anyone except EU people.
I’m EU player on NA server.

Skyhammer is fun. I like it.

I’m on FA and I don’t mind leagues at all. Why is it so important to have easy wins? If your server has way smaller numbers just consider it to be a hard mode and a challenge. You probably won’t win but at least you can have some fun, just change your perspective.

Same problem, I’m euro player on NA server.

They should just have 2 equally sized leagues. That way everyone would have matches they could win, as well as the matches where they’d lose with no chance. Not perfect but at least it would be diverse enough.

ColdDarkness.9371:

imagine yourself being the only one doing the clocktower at any given time. yes, not very interesting anymore, is it?
the other players you do it with serve the purpose of putting psychological pressure on you whenever someone behind you gets swallowed by the swirling nether, its basically the ONLY reason why the tower is alot more interesting than other jumping puzzles.

I agree with this.

In America, when you win the most important thing, it’s the Commisioner’s Trophy. Here in the states, we have unique and fun names for stuff instead of boring “gold”.

Your country is just one of the many, many countries whose people play this game. I don’t know why you feel so special. Gold/silver/bronze is a standard in the world and it’s clear for everyone what exactly it is and what value it has. Names should stay the way they are.

If the point system was better and more competitive rather than being predetermined by a matchup, people would start using different strategies and would probably try to accomplish 2v1 anyway in order to get a chance of winning the matchup. But point system sucks.

Antiplay (healing spam, tanky builds, bunkering) should not be rewarded anyway. You already have the reward, and that is that your build will be stronger than the opponent’s build and you will win the fight (considering the numbers are somewhat even). The system should stay the way it is now in order to promote more interesting play that requires a lot more skill.

Have to test every day. For science!

Happened to me 2 days ago. No big deal. Fight is only 15-20 min long anyway.

I’m not sure about the daily. But they farm those activity achievs. Also fast and quick rewards.

Yes there are plenty of opponents when they don’t cheat. Since people are getting their dailies. And that’s why certain people wait for that specific time only and grind their achievs and the rewards from the chest without any opposition but just those few people.

There are few people who abuse the fact that at the time of the daily reset if you’re already in an activity (let’s say Crab Toss) and you don’t leave, you’ll stay there for any amount of time even though the activity changed to something else like Sanctum Sprint.

Many people have been farming achievements and rewards like these for many weeks. I hope this is getting fixed soon. Even though it’s too late. Cheaters gonna cheat.

Considering it gives a mini that’s worth quite a bit, and that guesting is easy I think the difficulty is just fine.

The only way that servers with lower population will kill teq is by guesting. Either they’ll guest or someone else will guest to their server. And there is nothing wrong in that. If someone is there for 5 hours guesting on let’s say Blackgate, and you just logged on and then whine why you can’t get in because of the guests is just hypocritical and wrong. Stop whining about guesting and come early, like everyone else.
Guesting is one of the best things that happened to GW. Game is not so separated anymore as it used to be.

I never hit teq, I just defended the turrets and I got the credit.

Agreed, merging party shouldn’t be automatic. We should have an option to accept or decline.

Sea of Sorrows killed him, here is the screenshot for proof.

Awesome post.

White smoke effect has to be more visible. I got howler and it does feel kinda boring.

Templates would be a must. Right now I’m only using my ele for spirit watch as it has the runner build. Since there are no templates, I can’t (don’t want) quick swap the build and play ele when another map comes up in solobadmatchmaking arena.

Number of viewers doesn’t really mean anything. PvP in GW2 is fun to play but extremely boring to watch. And, I don’t think fixing that is a priority at all. There are many more things that should be done first. For example: fix matchmaking, fix rating, show rating, have daily tournaments that everyone can access rather than just invitational ones, etc.
Anet is obviously not doing the best job but it’s still acceptable considering how few people they have working on the PvP section of the game.

I hope that at least top 100 on the achiev point leaderboard will have this beta access.

Actually no. Even if there are only 10 people in the queue it should still work properly. But it doesn’t. The way it works now is that it will put 5 people with similar rating against other 5 people with similar rating. So it will pretty much be like it always is “pros” vs “noobs”. So all they have to do is mix those 10 players up and have some “pros” and “noobs” in each team.

Matchmaking fix has to be a priority. But I doubt it will happen this year.

What is wrong with simply pressing 1 and killing SB or maw or whatever? Not everything should be complicated.

Traps are fun. I like it. Assassins are a bit annoying to fight, but other than that I have no complaints. Keep up the good work.

Matchmaking should be fixed first.

Old bug that used to happen some times in the past but then I thought it was fixed. And then day before this latest update it started happening again. Friends in party dark screen, not visible on the map. Commander tag bugged and won’t show on the map.
I’m european on NA server. That’s obviously a problem.

Will it be fixed soon? Thanks!

Was underwater sneaky weapon for me. It’s fixed now.

Not bad for the first tournament. Obviously many flaws there but now you learned for the next time.

I believe that PvP improved A LOT since the beginning. But seriously, fix matchmaking already. I’m sure that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Instead of waiting for 5 players of the similar rating and putting them in the same roster, and then waiting for another 5 with similar rating (but possibly different than the other team) and putting them in the second roster. Just make it so you wait for 10 players and then you form 2 balanced rosters. I have faith in you Anet, you can do this!

Don’t add new game modes. But do add daily tournaments similar to GW1 ones at some point (it’s not urgent). Also, instead of spending 4 hours on wednesday, spend 1 hour every second day or something on responding on the posts here.

Keep up the good work, but seriously, fix matchmaking!

I keep getting the hint message saying that one of my weapons doesn’t have stats selected, which absolutely isn’t true. Make it stop!!!

The issue has been resolved by getting the latest nvidia beta drivers.

So earlier today I played GW2 like any other day. Everything was perfect, FPS decent, same as always even during invasion events. However I took a few hours break and came back an hour ago, logged on and suddenly it became unplayable. FPS is even lower than the game says (it says 10 but it feels lower). It feels like the graphics card is dying or not loading properly while GW2 is running. Even as I’m typing this (with GW2 minimized) everything on my PC is laggy.

I tried simple things like restarting pc, checking CPU, cleaning dust etc. I tried deleting “local.dat” file as well. And then I tried closing GW2 and starting 2 games at once (Dota 2 and Portal 2) and each of them worked perfectly with no lag whatsoever at all (and yes they were even up at the same time, 1 would be minimized though).
So that brings me to conclusion that GW2 started messing with my graphics card somehow, like it just disables some of its functions or something. And it all happened just all of the sudden, with no warning at all.

Sooo… anyone got any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Yes remove that, and remove the confirmation when salvaging PvP items as well. Thanks!
OR just let us use enter to confirm.

just farm

Kinda disappointed that this is what is considered “new content” instead of more dungeons, events, boss, etc.

Adventure box is the new content. This is just something extra.

So Josh is this kind of Limbo style? Where you just have to keep dying in order to get to the finish. If it is then I like it already!

It’s the best rune in game.

Many promotional tricks are used in that post which I do not appreciate at all. However, it doesn’t change the fact that the game is good.

Does anyone still care about a leaderboard that’s not even in game but on an external website? In guild wars 1 you could at least see everyone’s rank before the match start, and then on observe mode after. It meant something.
But they should fix matchmaking first anyway. Once you get to top 100 it’s very unlikely you’ll drop, because you’ll always get the highest ranked people who queued in your team and you’ll fight the “newbies”.

Devs said they will work on it. But will it ever be fixed?

kito.1827:

funny…

i never heard people complaining about getting pheonix rank in gw1, although it took the first player 6 years or so

brings me to the conclusion that gw2 is full of whiny little i-want-so-gimme kiddies

First player had phoenix in less than a year. Dragon took 5 years. But that was the last rank so it’s normal.

Very creative, I like it.

Btw, you have to be a lot more glorious to get her to talk to you.

Crashing as well several times a day. Started happening 2 days ago.

Vargamonth.2047:

C’mon, how hard can it be to sort all the queued contendants by rating and do something like this?

1 -> 2
4 <- 3
5 -> 6
8 <- 7
9 -> 10

Actually it would be better if it was something like: 1, 2, 6, 9, 10 vs 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
Would be a lot more balanced due to many reasons that I can type if you’ll really insist on it, but yeah.

Seriously Anet though, go fix your matchmaking system and reset the leaderboard!
