Guild Wars 2

online.1278:

As you know, almost every fantasy mmo has warrior class or somethibg similar to warrior.

Thus my theory is that Warrior class should behave like leader, or commander style that doesn’t only dps but does everything : extra care for teammate & fair dps to enemy and etc.. which are all the role of ShoutBow warrior.

Recently anet killed Warrior shout and now warrior become like brutal barbarian class that is forced to only use rampage + berserker’s power trait. It is no more like team leader but just professional killer.

This is not the RP forum!

Can we already have the new version of leaderboards, please?

I really wanna see progression while playing ranked.

OneKlicKill.4285:

Add working leaderboards
Make rank visable to self and displayable as a title if on top 100
Change pvp rewards to seasonal/event/leaderboard based
Add 2v2 and 3v3 arenas (convert parts of current maps into arena maps)
Change court yard to a 1 life round arena style
Split pvp and pve/wvw balance
Change amulets back to having slots for additional stats (the 30% or w/e was just added)
Actually balance the game on a consistent basis

Thats what we need

Amulets?! o.O :o

But newer players wouldn’t know what to do anymore.

Why did it take so long?
And thank you anyways.

TheAngryDuckling.5481:

Considering Rush is broken and only hits the enemy 50% of the time that would be a horrible idea.

^

Just no

Rush is bugged anyways, it often does weird things.

We are beta testers since the game released, just look at the leaderboards.

degoking.1482:

Yes i have noticed all of this so far. the one thing i would add though is and this only seems to be with warrior or at least the worst with warrior. I’m not sure what to call it but ima say skill lag even in rampage u hit buttons nothing happens its like ure character just kinda gets stuck for a sec also when i go to switch wepon sets i hit my hot key nothing i have to hit it like 5 times fast for my weps to swap.

ill even be doing something simple like running and my character will just stop to where i have to let go of the button and press it again also rotating the camera that it a joy at times just gets all funny doesn’t wanna rotate or it will go to the top view just weird things and just the controls in general seem less responsive the worst i ever seen it in my opion.

skill lag and also packet loss is crazy after patch!

I’m have serious lag issues in PvP since the patch on tuesday.
My ping is fine (20-30 ms).
I’m also experiencing a lot of “rubber banding”.

I live in germany and my provider is telecom.

Since I only play pvp i don’t know if this is only a problem in pvp i thought i post this in the pvp forum since it’s almost unplayable.

Would be really nice, but this won’t come for another 3 years lol.

Nova Stiker.8396:

Mesmers: These guys feel a bit weak

LOL.

Ok it seems like you need to change the traits one time, before they work you can’t just let them unchanged

Minor traits don’t work.

They promised, the implementation of such thing 2 years ago.

Grimreaper.5370:

Step 1.) Remove passive play, that also means remove RNG

I don’t want crits to be removed ….

I’m experiencing the same problems, I also had 3 4v5 in a row.

Looking for a Team again.

Please ………………………………………………

Genoshock.2104:

Looks like WTS winner’s space

1st 2nd 3rd

Maybe, but 4 teams are participating. Do they really leave one team out?
Just because of “Gold, Silver, Bronce”?

Edit: I could imagine that the guild emblems of the 3 first teams on the new team-leaderboards are represented on the banners, maybe?!

MailMail.6534:

I’d rather they work on new TDM, Stronghold and Conquest maps than on a new lobby. Specifically, the first two would be nice!

I don’t think that the same people are doing this stuff. I would guess that other people would create a new HotM than the one that work on a competetive map.

So I saw this in the gw2 livestream today and if I’m not completly kittened that’s new.

What could it be?

Zosek.3658:

You didnt both win. In case of even score, the match is decided based on which team has higher sum of personal scores from players.

Yes this!

Happend once in a tournament.

bumb

Doesn’t matter what class you are playing, matchmaking sucks in 95% of all your games.

If you are playing in EU it is impossible in the morning to find good matches, only players you get are those pve heroes that do their dailies.

Last time I tried to play gw2 in the early morning hours.

Not fun to stomp your opponent like a crappy pve mop and see your own players fail the whole game as well.

John Corpening.9847:

This is a work in progress and the UI for it made it out on accident today. We have corrected that.

John

Sure

But nice change, I like it.
Thanks for responding to the feedback.

I don’t recall SALT winning vs full lineups of oRNG and TCG without Frostball and Trebax. Would be pointless games.

We have beat Orng many times without frostball and trebax, and i have it all on recording, We have strong chanses against them dont worry man.

Stop whining publicly and send Grouch a private message about your issue.

I don’t think causing even more public drama will solve your issue.
Even if I can understand your concern, it’s not something that needs to be discussed in the forums.

But… but drama = esports!

I sent a message saying they where alt accouting but they ignored it, once ORNG struggeled, they started reacting. so whining here might atleast wake people up

Wake up about what?
Do you think more than 10 people do care about wether you are in the WTS or not

Fixed that for you.

Thanks didn’t see my mistake.

Who did they share their accounts with?

ronpierce.2760:

This is the drama you were talking about in that conference? I like it.

popcorns up

Exactly the thing I thought first too.

I would like to know why anet keeps almost everything so secretly and when they announce sth why do they just give us a small teaser and then don’t talk about it for a while until it’s almost about to release.

I would really like to know in which direction the pvp in this game is heading and if I’m just wasting time waiting for some good content to come up.

I mean we know that they are developing stronghold and that they are working on the leaderboards besides the trait revamp but I count that one as an update that comes in general and I don’t think you can count this one as a specific pvp update.

But the leaderboards got messed up twice now and we still don’t know what they are planning to do with it other than that they are trying to fix it.
I think almost 2 years ago they mentioned that they want to introduce leagues for pvp and since then we never heard anything again about it besides Colin mentioning it once.

Also we don’t know if they are working on fixing all the bugs that are in the game since release (mid air immob, obstructed/out of rang bug etc.).

I think it’s common for a game to have bugs, but I don’t think (maybe I am wrong) it’s common that game breaking bugs exist more than 3 years.
Another thing is that if I play league for example and sth is really really broken whatever it is it will get fixed pretty soon (sometimes it takes a bit longer but it will get fixed for sure).

With gw2 I don’t really know that, broken stuff for example balance wise stays in game for a long time.

Don’t get me wrong I really like to play this game otherwise I won’t do it, right?
But I have the feeling that the state of the pvp is a bit stale atm what kinda frustrates me.

Thanks for reading .

Team Leaderboards are coming with HoT already got confirmed by anet.

Edited for politness.

Just wondering what’s going to happen after WTS in Cologne.
Is the whole esports thing gone then or will we have a fourth WTS, or what?

They try to fix the ladder atm, prob won’t happen but they try to.

BLUna.7928:

I normally wouldn’t comment on these forums anymore, but OP is about the 30th person to make this exact thread, and it needs to stop yo. Let me clear this out for you.

Unless ArenaNet are doing something weird, the money being used for WTS and any other tournament is coming out of the MARKETING budget for the game, not the budget used for development.

This is fairly common among developers trying to push their game from a competitive aspect. If ArenaNet were not doing WTS, the only thing that would change would be you having more GW2 banner ads on your favorite adult content website.

Why are you still reading the forums?

Obviously you didn’t try defending your base….

There is 0 need of killing players as a defender, unless they broke your two doors. And at this point it’s just a DPS race.

Using a staff mace/shield guardian I was able to heal even the archer guards long enough for them to 1 shot the 5 doorbreaker rush that starts every game. As a dedicated defender I allowed my team to focus on supply and pushing. I was always available to drop support on a hero cap or even better use the treb to gurantee heros for my team. I think that that aslight boost to guard vitality and toughness will make a huge improvement though.

All I read is PvE, PvE, PvE … oh and more PvE

Draknar.5748:

They should take a page out of Blizzard’s book and make it so you simply cannot speak to the enemy team, like in HoTS.

Total lameness

Duka.5864:

Posts are about complain,how something isn’t right about ST ,and yet none of devs care to join into conversation how or do they plan to change something! TY

It’s always like this :P, transparancy isn’t anets greatest strength.
But we know this for a while now, I don’t think complaining will help at all.
If they think this is a problem they will change it but as we can see this isn’t the case atm.

So we just have to wait and hope they read our feedback (I’m pretty sure that’s the case) and change things to the better.

jebro.6370:

Thats a really nice idea, Its nice seeing constructive feedback

You’re acting like there is no constructive feedback at all. I already saw a lot of good and constructive feedback.
Ofc there are a bunch of reets but that’s common in forums I guess :P.

One problem I have is that we gave a lot of constructive feedback after the last beta and almost nothing got adressed (e.g. Archer beeing useless).

Runewolf.8456:

-make the supply center a capture point that you mus hold to get pick up supply from (you can still get it from dead players though).

I really, really like that idea, never thought about it. +1

1. Archers are useless/ too much pve.
-make guards damagable by archers only
-not also are Archers usefull now, but also you don’t have to “no brain pve” the guards anymore

2. No need to kill other players.
-make death timers longer, so when we kill enemy players it rewards us more and we can outnumber the enemy team for a while on the map

4) Players should be able to do small amounts of DMG to the door, maybe comparable to what Archers do.

No!

Why?
A.: How interesting would it be to hit a gate for X sec/min?

I’m talking about maybe 10% of the DPS you do to the gates on forefire: As an incentive for defending players to also attack the players and not only the DB’s and to leave the option for some crazy all-in rushes. No1 would actually just stand there and DMG the doors because it would take way too long.
But I’m not set on this one, as long as archers/DB’s spawn in certain intervals.

Those “crazy” all in rushes already are a problem.

ZeftheWicked.3076:

It’s loooong. Too long. I had two matches literally ending near last minute or two. And quite probably with at least me getting so bored that i stopped acting strategically and just went into a duel thinking “i don’t care who wins or looses, as long as it’s over!”

So you think that a 15 minute game is long?

How long would you like it to be 2-3 minutes?

Darmikau.9413:

at timeout, the lords come forward to fight each other. Lords could have buffs applied to them based on score so that the leading team goes into sudden death with an advantage, but the lagging team could still win if skilled enough.

I’m against this, because that would be too much clusterkitten if there is a 10 man fight in the middle of the map + NPC’s.

Genoshock.2104:

More balance patches (Although I actually think the game is pretty bala atm)

Balance patches are not only good to balance stuff, but also to change the meta if the meta gets stale even if it’s balanced (like currently) it gets really boring.

Genoshock.2104:

Pay SodaPoppin to play the game once a week at least (PvP)

This would maybe be the smartest thing they could do to advertise their game.
Doesn’t have to be sodapoppin just get some big live streamers, it would push gw2 pretty hard imo.

Could be possible that they changed it so that you can only join a pvp match from hotm because they want to make pvp for free.

Maybe?!

Alekt.5803:

Bringing back old leaderboard is in my wishlist. I find it awful how starting late in that season doomed me to a low position. It took me twenty games before fighting against the first pages of the leaderboard.
How is it possible then to climb if you’re facing against the theoretical “best players” the system can give you? Did they expect me to climb? With 90 ish points, I was 500 points away from rank 1, and I would see those players continuously fighting as “equals”. Why do I not deserve the same ranking as them if I play with them and win?

I hate the point earning Leaderboard system.

It’s not that the point earing system is the problem. The problem is that such system doesn’t work if there are no leagues. It just simply takes too long to farm those points.

Also you get not enough points for winning against players that are better than you (with their MMR) and you just don’t lose enough points if you lose against players that are way below your own MMR.

The leaderboards can’t flactuate enough like that.

If we look how league of legends is handling things, you can see that you can earn up to 36 points for a win if your rating is way below your opponent, but you can also lose a bunch (like 26 or sth like that).

Also you have leagues so you don’t have to farm your way up that much.

First of, they tryed to improve the leaderboards, which kinda didn’t go that well, but they tryed to.
Also we are still in the test seasons, so we will see what the final leaderboard will look like (leagues, anybody?).

With Heart of Thorns they will also give us real Team leaderboards, which will be very exciting IF the leaderboards are working properly by then.

I think they are specualting on stronghold being the new esports gamemode and they will don’t further support conquest if the community supports the new gamemode.

I think anet is well aware of the fact, that pvp only really works if there is also a competetive scene in the game.

People are more willing to put in a lot of hours in pvp if there is competition in form of “esports”.

Yeah, so I think they will try to further improve pvp. The problem that the pvp team has is, that they don’t get too many resources compared to pve.

If pvp grows, anet will provide more resources for pvp, if it doesn’t it will kinda stay this way i guess.

Everything was better than usual, besides the camera.

The camera was the worst I’ve ever seen, it was horrible.
