PowerBottom.5796:

Kinda sad: ANet really had some momentum going with the announcement of Stronghold-Mode, specializations and the Stronghold-Beta – but once again they let it slip through their fingers by not acting quick enough and actually releasing the content.

exactly this, like always

-__-

I dont knwo why but I have the feeling they changed it so the group UI can fit for bigger parties, since it’s not so long anymore.

i think this is one of the buggiest patches they ever released and that says something, there were some buggy patches before.

Belenwyn.8674:

In Chat people stated that the PvP community in China is really very small.

So the pvp is in the exact same condition as in NA or EU.

Not updating again, or is that because the season ended?

Well just to let Anet know.
I would love to have an ingame leaderboard that instantly updates and shows how many points I gained right after the match :>.

But who doesn’t? :P

(Languages: Eng/Ger)

My main and only class that I play (atm) is Warrior.

I’m looking for a team that wants to take part in various tournaments.
I want my teammates to be mainly pvp players that have the will to get to high tier.
I’m not looking for a team that plays this game casually but for players I can be successfull with.

I have 1.4k games on my Warrior.

That said I’m looking forward to see you in game.

Ris

I really would like to know this, so i will push this thread.

You all forget that all this is in an early development stage.
So nothing is set in stone.
But i feel like this is not the last time I will be saying this in the next couple of days.

Also please don’t forget that nothing is off the table.

Elitist.8701:

I’m pretty sure there’s only going to be one. Gotta wait until a year after the expansion they might release another one lol.

You seem to be optimistic.

Amstel Steel.2058:

Judicially emancipating yourself would clear all parties from legal responsibilities. If an 18 year old got lost and died it would be nowhere near the amount of bad PR had an emancipated 16 or 17 year old getting lost and dying.

Dude you are positive.

So Celestial Comp (which is that what CM played), is a DPS comp?
Never knew that.

The possibility to watch a tpvp game would be a huge step back in terms of competetivness.
But i would love to spectate high tier soloq matches.

top players sit in mists trying to figure out best way to color their gear while PVP is played only by newbies who still havent figured out that leaderboard doesnt give you anything at all

WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE :<

Yeah, I read this as well and was like WOW ITS SO TRUE.

Don’t forget that sometimes one of these TOP players will sometimes enter SoloQ only to violently vomit after one match and log off.

Which top-player did you speak with that you know it’s accurate?

Leeto.1570:

Its 2 years already and not a single competetitive thing has happened ingame.
Its like 3rd season on WvW 2nd season of PVE and not a single season of PVP. WHAT THE TIGER!
Reset leaderboard put it on 8 week timer, stamp golden/silver/bronze dolyaks on one of your generic back items continue with all that zoo you got up to dragon BOOM 16 months of competition provided, a reason to at least join some que! This system would be so simple and bad that noone would even guess that it wasnt anets idea.

Of course there is those massive PVP tournaments that get almost as many views as some ginger chopping wood in runescape but its just an illusion cause none of top teams ever play teamque seriously and noone tries to get good at teamque, people dont form teams to play the game they form teams to play ESL weekly etc. And thats sad very very sad.

Feels like PVP is community are some apes for anet that just sit in cage running circles till they are needed for entertainment and are put in some half baked tournament.
Every single game out there makes tournaments for top teams to compete we need month of tournaments to even figure out who are top teams from the people we have left cause ingame top players sit in mists trying to figure out best way to color their gear while PVP is played only by newbies who still havent figured out that leaderboard doesnt give you anything at all.

They are working on it.
We will get it soon™.
It will release when it’s ready

- The side nodes don’t have any vision of the map. You cannot deffend a side node and control the map at all. You are forced to a) leave the node b) camp it and afk there.
You can’t see if someone’s coming to you either.

Wrong, you have good vision from the sidenotes all over the map. Just position yourself at the right places ^^.
But I agree with your other points.

I know you can get to some spots where you have vision but the problem is that you don’t see anything while capping So you cannot prepare for a 1v1, and you cannot prepare for a instakill pull.

Again wrong ^^, you can rotate your camera so you can see when ppl are coming to a or c

Grouch already confirmed in a twitch chat that they really like this idea and that they are working on something in this direction ^^.

“Hey there!

We loved reading your opinions and ideas. We will let you know that we have discussed this and are working on it. It is certainly something that is on the horizon and should be implemented soon™!"

I believe in Grouch a lot of things improved since he is the competetive events manager ^^

OlrunTheBlade.1486:

For NA: I’m a bit behind in updating it because of recent exams, but I’ll fix that within a day or two.

For EU: It’s up-to-date until this weekend. The ESL weeklies are not submitted through our form, so we don’t know the rosters of the competing teams and can’t update it to reflect those events. For that reason, the only event we had to go on were the ToL2 Finals. It will be updated soon to reflect the ToG Q1 and Q2.

Thanks

What happend about it? (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y29VFutvrDxq8X1YbUS9pvDxp-XhFZTUMsauyp0U2aE/edit)

“How often are the ratings updated?

Ratings are updated weekly on Monday, but we may update it during the week as well. If you have a tournament that you would like to have up to date seeds for, please email us and we will do this for you."

I think it wasn’t updated once, am I right?

Evan Lesh.3295:

This is a cool idea. I will pitch it to the team. What other things would you see going on this track? They all have a theme leading up to the end goal.

Well, it would be nice to have a reward track that does not have skins/gear as a reward. I’m fairly happy how my mains look, and have no need for exotic gear.

The reward track could be a general PvP track. 18/20 slot bags, +X transmutation charges as final reward, arena time tokens, a black lion ticket scraps/keys (why can’t PvP players farm it like PvE can?), reward box where you can choose your own booster.

Just typing random thoughts ….. theme could be Black Lion reward track.

^this

Evan Lesh.3295:

Maybe a bag in the middle of the tree that carries a new gamemode :P.

They should fix the whole game. Obstructed bug is getting ridiculous. Every 5th Impale on my warrior randomly doesn’t hit cause of obstructed bug. Same kitten with lb 5 and 4 and axe 3 and every single projectile in the game.

Cynz.9437:

i love how long they ignore this issue considering it makes the class unplayable

i am sure if engi or warrior F1 wasn’t working they would fix it within a day

warrior has a lot of bugs too also gamebreaking bugs.

There was a qualifier today right? Somebody knows the results and maybe someone saw it and can tell me something about it meta wise etc :P.

The only thing it needs to motivate teams and players to get better and improve theirselfs are leagues and season.
Players and teams will be highly motivated and the competetive scene in this game will grow.

This bug is happening even more now, it really happens often to me very disturbing.

Yeah i had more hope for spvp so far, we will see what happens the next 2 weeks but standard model are at least something ^^.

Conditions are non skill based guaranteed dmg. Way to strong in this game.
Conditions should be a pasive dmg boost and no build out there should be able to just do dmg by conditions. It just take no skill to get of your conditons on someone.
Everytime I look at the death recap, burning or sometimes torment did by far the most dmg to me.

These type of posts are quite funny. It’s quite obvious you’ve never played a condi class in a tourney….

I’m not talking about team queue or semi competetive play, I’m specifically talking about uncoordinated soloq.
No condi clear at all.

Kitt.2567:

Let’s compare it to league of legends or other moba games, you can buy item with golds you earned by killing enemy players. This game, yes it can stack perma attribute until we got downed. however the problem is that this game only allow only one kind of those things to be stacked even though i put two different attribute-stacking sigils into two different wepaons each. that;s why I should put same sigil into both 2 weapons becuz idk at which weapon an enemy would die. (yes it is one slot waste)

Since this game doesn’t provide shop to buy items that boosts perma attributes like League of Legends, it is very hard to survive until one round ends than other games. To compensate that this game should allows at least 2 kinds of attribute-stacking sigil by killing i guess.

you know? in league of legends, lets say you are teamed up with 4 other noobs but you are very very skilled, but you can still win becuz it is possible for you to make continuous KILLSTREAKs in other moba games but this game it is almost impossible cuz we all have same stat from the beginning to end, which means you will anyway, motly lose if you meet 4 noobs in your team even thought you are world rank top guy.

And people knows this hardship of survivimg, so that;s why currently not many people uses this attribute-stacking sigils for this reason.

GG

lol

Kitt.2567:

can you plz upgrade warhorn as well?
can you grant us some stability for 2~3sec and small amount of adrenaline whenever i use warhorn skill, or longer weakness duration plz. we are very bad at dmging right now nor do good supporting like guardian bunker.

There are much more greatsword/longbow warrior than warhorn warrior in its population of spvp actually. if you try to upgrade the weapons that isn’t popular at all for warrior in spvp, warhorn and mace are to be upgraded first but not greatsword.

Anyway i saw anet just released new greatsword skin today maybe anet want people buy it by making that weapon type of new skin stronger GG

They can’t buff warhorn bacause it is already rlly, rlly strong in wvw and they don’t split the balancing. If they buff it, it would be very op in wvw.

Carbonize.1530:

I agree that people that want GvG should have it available to them. Maybe custom arena servers can serve a purpose for this if tweaked.

I disagree with it being viable as an e-sport. It is a casual play style and although people that put thought into will do better than people who don’t (obviously), it doesn’t change the fact that more people just dilutes the importance of each player( You can be hardcore about a casual thing).

Arguing about viewers is not apples to apples. GvG has viewers because everyone in their tier sees these large guilds running around and knows which to fight and which to avoid. You get your “guild” exposure to a much larger, but casual player base. It’s only natural for the casuals to hear there is a clash of two guilds they respect happening on twitch (or whatever) and come on over for a peak. However I can’t see that viewership growing much more than what it is. There isn’t a big upside because even compared to tpvp it is much harder to watch the blobiness of it all (I’ve watch a few). There are no individual plays or highlights, it’s as it is with most Group vs Group death matches. The first to land the first couple kills just keeps the snowball rolling.

Tpvp allows for individual plays, team comps, and synergistic opportunities. I know conquest isn’t for everyone and it isn’t without it’s flaws, however you need to consider more than just a “team fight at mid,” which makes it more nuanced and competitive. People always say that you just spam condi aoe on point with a couple bunkers and you win, but that’s not the case. The best team out there plays a movement based comp with 2 zerker classes for spike damage, they just out rotate the clunkier comps and do it well.

TLDR:
I agree both game modes should exist but believe A-net has chosen the more competitive of the two to back as an e-sport.

^ I agree with everthing he said. I’m not saying GvG deserves no attention, but it’s not an esport and it will never be an esport.
Even if tpvp in GW2 will never be a real esport it has better chances than GvG.

You really believe people want to see the current GvG where 20 ppl just running into each other and everwhere something explodes and you cant see sh*t?
GvG matches have like 300 viewers which tpvp tourney has less than that. Even the tpvp tourneys that aren’t that popular have more than the double of that.

I believe the Agg vs TA match had 2.5k viewers with all 3 servers queueing obsidian sanctum…so you were right in a sense because 300 ppl were in attendance

So right now dF vs TUP is going on and they have like 50 viewers.
Stop speaking to me kitten.

So now you are comparing a simple GvG to a massively advertised tournament? Wow, great logic dude. A better comparison to make would be that GvG compared to any Tpvp match going on at the same time, and have streamers from both. No advertising, and see how many people watch. I’m willing to bet the GvG would have roughly the same if not more viewers. Just because you don’t like GvG doesn’t mean it isn’t popular. You’re just making yourself look foolish now, so save yourself the trouble and stop.

Spvp streams hit 300 viewers quiete often even if they are just soloq’ing.

And a member in my guild gets around 150-200 average when we do our daily raids. GvG isn’t unpopular and can often times get more attention than Tpvp. Also keep in mind that tpvp has anet’s full support, so it’s only expected for it to receive more viewers. However when an unsupported game mode competes with a supported one, it should tell you something.

If you are talking about Chem he does not get 300 viewers not even 150 he has an average of maybe 110-120.

Guys it’s a fun tourney nothing rlly competetive like WTS, no “real” prizes. I think your reactions are a little bit to much.
It’s not ok that they probably changed the brackets into TM’s favour but it isn’t a tourney where it rlly matters I think.
WTS would be another thing but not ToL2.
So chill guys and have fun.
If Cheese Mode is just half as good as they think they are, they win it anyways.

Because of this tampering with the brackets Team Mist and 55hp might end up boycotting this tournament.

Why should Team Mist boycotting the tourney or do you mean CM?

deathmatch 10v10
everyone gets 2 lifes.

res ability like warbanner only effect 1 person. not 5.

kill each other until the team left standing wins.

10 celestial wars with banner gg

deathmatch with downed state will never work, let alone is not even close to what gvg is supposed to be… (GvG is not dat noskill zerg vs zerg pve heroes used to do in wvsw, that’s just an insult to pvp and even more to gw1’s gvg)

^

I would like to be able to keybind pinging on the map.
I am used to have my dodge roll on Shift and the ping is also on Shift and you cant change the keybind of pinging. Everytime I would like to ping something in pvp i do a dodge roll what gives me a hughe disadvantage.

Not that they didn’t promote their tournaments what’s already rlly bad, they also gave us the wrong time on their All stars website.
