Guild Wars 2

i would agree with this reward system when there would be SOME rewards to be in gold league over silver or bronze

something like this ticket system is ok when add

all players become at the end additional rewards to this ticket system for:

gold = 20g or 50k karma or 20k luck or….
silver = 10g or 25k karma or 10k luck or…
bronze= 5g or 10k karma or 5k luck or ….

something like this

rank 2-9 servers ARE better than rank 10 or rank 19 server and deserve better reward than the low servers

hey

again high latency this morning

DevonCarver.5370:

There will be the same three leagues as previously. No world can be lower than 9th place in a league. Everyone gets tickets.

thats a very stupid reward system than

why get a rank 10 or rank 19 server more rewards than rank 2 or rank 5 server?

seriously – why should servers care than to be rank 5 or 6 when can lose and fight easier server than in league 2 and get position 1 rewards for free?

@Orpheal

It really cant though. Why is that most players sit around in open world all the time? Because dungeons and fractals are too hard for them or they dont enjoy instanced group content. It makes no sense to put excessive amounts of lore in an area where the players who like challenging instanced content is dont care about it. And the players that want that lore would barely ever experience it. They would visit fractals once to get their lore fix and then never visit again. You cannot infect every aspect of the game with the wants of casual players. It doesnt work. You shouldnt lock away lore in an area of the game that many players who enjoy lore will not visit.

You can put lore into fractals, I dont mind that. But if it ruins replayability and brings down the challenge then im not going to be happy.

Sorry Spoj but I can’t agree with your elitist intentions. It’s good that casuals will finally get some content.

This are no elitist intentions and he is right. Fractals is about the Chalenge. Thats why you have progress in fractals with lvls or agony res.

Everyone is happy about new content. But not everything released is content just because it is released. Fractal runner will not play a fractal over and over again for the story. In fractals people see the story first and second time and after this they dont care anymore and go back to livingstory zergmode or are Fractalsplayers which care bout competive gameplay like how can do the fractal in best way, how far can go, what class needed, builds, progress in gear/lvl ….. and so on.

Just add some new story fractals will bring nothing more than some people write about in forum for a week and after this noone care anymore.

Golden Rule: GAMEPLAY > Presentation

And before i forget lore + Story is ok in Fractals when presented in the right way like this fractal with this Giant (/bow archievement) but its more than annoying when have to watch some NPC talk same crap over and over again.

How i posted before i would like to see some more Progress

thx

stab to short – its more like a stunbreak than stab

and mantra recast is way tooo long – there are classes which can kill you 100-0 in this time^^

edit: i would use it when there would be a trait like have 50% chance on crit to regain stacks on mantras (10 sec intern cd – max 5 stacks)
or have aegis while recast a mantra

i would love to see more progression

maby on fraktal lvl 50+ drop essences to make utilitie slot on back items and earring so can have more than 1 utilitie slot in gear

• (combine this new essences with … Mist Essences + Pristine Fraktal Relics so they have some use for higher people and force people to go lower fractals)

more infusions for this utiltie slots like:
(cant use any infusion more than 1x in gear)
+15% runspeed
+15% WXP
-10% condi duration
-20% stunduration
+20% might duration
+25% buff food duration
+10% revive allies faster
…….. open for alot more ideas

than i would like to see some special title (or other things) for people going for lvl 60,70, 80, 90, 100 to show off the progress

animals will drop champbags now^^

ok than i trie it this way

Luto.1938:

I play a thief and the problem that I see from most abilities being “OP” stems from the way the class is designed with initiative. The class is designed to spam one ability several times. We (thieves) generally only have one good damage dealing weapon ability and with no cool downs on our weapon skills it leads to spamming.

I can see two ways to fix the spamming problem. The first involving adding more abilities to each weapon set that deal damage. I understand that there are great utility weapon skills to be used, but when we want to deal damage it’s typically one ability being used and spammed because that’s we’ve got to use. The second idea is a little more involved and requires a lot of class restructuring. Get rid of initiative… make the class operate on cool downs like all the other classes. The only problem I see in idea #2 is that in doing so you’d have to also implement idea #1….

there would be a 3th option
make thief skills combo eachother

remove stun from #3 and make #2 followed by #3 stun the target
remove boonremove from #2 and make #3 followed by #2 remove 2 boons

something like this would give thief some depth when enough combos and would remove the spamplay

edit: this skillcombo system would be cool for warrior and ranger too – remove utilitie from normal skills and add it to combos

1. → #2 ……,#3……,#4……,#5…..
2. →#1…..,#3…..,#4…..,#5……
3. →#1….,#2……,#4……,#5……
4. →#1……,#2…..,#3……..,#5…..
5. →#1…..,#2……,#3……,#4……

……… are utiltie bonis like blind, stun , extraheal or whatever
this woud bring the low risk high reward classes in line with eles and (old) engi

problem with this is the thief has to much initiative

the qustion with this skill is: regeneration is to fast or pw is to cheap

i would make pw cost more initiative – this skill has to be something you use careful and not just spam when rdy

edit: in my opinion sword #2 need higher initiative cost too – it need more risk reward
2 and 3 (with pistol offhand) has to much utilitie on it – on other classes this would be eliteskills^^

There is a real world stock market out there for you to play.

I rather just play it as an adventure game.

But if you want to maximize the gold available in an MMO, at least respect the TP.

That’s the thing I hate, TP is the most rewarding aspect of this game.

That’s why people call diablo 3 (auction house tychoon), and people makes name such as wall street online 2 for GW2.

Like I said before, thousands of mmorpg out there, why is it only a problem in diablo 3 and gw2. It’s not like you can’t flip in other mmorpg but people dont’ compalin about flipping there.

cause GW2 has a whiny playerbase – you can see this in all forums here – just check dungeon, balance , wvw, pvp , livingstory …..
all is bad than ey?

You dont find this MANY whiny threads in other games. Gw2 attract this kind of people with this casual strategie. Fokus on “how the character looks” and not on competive gameplay or how good a player is, attracts this kind of peoples. I would call it Facebook Generation^^

i dont like SAB and i hope they dont bringt this back and waste 2 weeks for this

first SAB i had some fun the first and second time i did it but after this its just annoying and boring
i dont like to play with a nintento 8 bit console when can have it better – cmon we have 2014 and it was enough for a joke

i find wvw boring – you have to run around for ages to find a FAIR fight (30-60mins)

before implement something like this the gamemodes should be fixed
(wrote it in other tread)

make a
unrankedQ for all this 1-5 man team (so players can play with friends)
soloQ for solo only
teamQ for 5 man teams only (leaderboard show TEAM ranking and not palyer ranking)

this have to be done before bring a ladder – since release gw2 pvp lose players because it is unfair and it will not change when have to play the same modes just because it has a ladder now

Cynz.9437:

current state of soloq ->

so wow, much fun, i wouldn’t give better rewards for this

honestly though, i think the fact that teamq gives better rewards is justified, you still need to put a team and coordinate… what needs to happen is that you shouldn’t be able to do teamq w/o having full team + allow players to duo queue in soloq like you can do it in league

just no – solo only in soloQ or it is same bullkitten like teamQ

arenanet need to make a unrankedQ for all this 1-5 man teams who wanna play with friends (something liek this is never balanced so 2+3 man teams vs 5man team is ok when unranked)

and soloQ only solo + teamQ only 5 man teams

when 5man team find no match they get asked when wanna paly unranked game while waiting

simple

and the higher reward in teamQ is not justified – cause its same as soloQ and you DONT need to coordinate a team cause you can do teamQ SOLO

AND when you do the work and make a team you have it easier and get alot free wins cause you farm randoms in teamQ – this alone is enough reward (stupid reward but its arenanet)

Archaon.6245:

lordkrall.7241:

glaphen.5230:

So why does solo queue get half the rewards again? Why do you keep giving double the rewards to the people who team join and farm solo joiners?

You are aware that Team-queue and Solo-queue does not fight each other, right?
When you go for Solo-queue, you fight other from the solo-queue.

As for why they get the double reward that is most likely due to the fact that it is more organized and thus most likely more challenging.

Mainly because soloq takes less time than arranging a decent team for teamq, you can just keep joining forever..no need to setup or to find ppl, and yeah because it’s easier..obviously…(Skyhammer, engis, wars, cheesewatch…that sort of stuff we all know..)

than simple question: why i can join than solo in teamQ and get same reward for a win?

No, the higher rewards are not for making a team is harder. The higher rewards are cause teamQ sux and is not fun to play and teamQ would die when not pay the randoms to be canonfodder for the premades.

When remember they made soloQ cause it is not fair to play as a solo player vs Premade – this was the biggest problem at this time in forum and everyone was happy when they finaly said the make a soloQ.

And it showed how many people care for teamQ – teams had to wait ages to can play and in NA after MMR reset they could not even fill the top 1000

How i said, the only reason why teamQ get double rewards is cause they would have no players – and this is the wrong way

they should make teamQ fair and fun than maby players wanna play it

for this, to see the “imbalance” becomes “difficulty”, they would have to change leaderbaords , ranks, win/loses etc from accountwide to “per Profesion”

than for normal player who care about progress (and this are the most MMORPG players) the imbalance would not be the biggest problem cause everyone have the same on his way to be the top overlord elementalist, Mesmer …. whatever

only the e-sport ppl would care ….. but who cares^^

teamQ total broken and anet know there would be no players – thats the only reason why make double reward

to make it fair they should give -10% rewards per player in your group cause they have it much easier to farm randoms with premade

or make teamQ 5 man grps only

as it is now its stupid and feels like a waste of time to play this game – i wanna play soloQ but always when i go in and win a game and get 500 rankpoints i know i would have double this when join teamQ -for the same thing

no point to play this game anymore

there are so many rank 50+ noobs now farmed in teamQ while solo players left behind

83. Even pve players love the pvp mode – yesterday i had a lvl 1 warrior in my team running to animals in Forest of Niflhel writing in map chat “Champ here!!!”

when i read this thread than i have to ask _ what is not broken?^^

high: soloQ
low: necro + warrior buff

soon they will anounce PAX and no balance patch till PAX^^

i would so delete this game^^

and @Arenanet

plz stop this stupid trend to give double rewards in teamQ

teamQ sux hard and is no fun and to force your players to play this is bullkitten

Amplifier.1704:

Romek.4201:

its bonus – so relax^^

Not a bonus for me. You get 40 of them per match, it fills up your inventory and fills it up even more if you open them. I seriously cba to open them, I’m just gonna destroy all of them when my inventory is getting too full.

ye but you can sell the clothes for good gold in tradepost

even this quaggan potions cost some money (the permas)

its bonus – so relax^^

why? chest you still get + the bags

just got 40 for team tournament win

52. they gave us Skyhammer

this would be big buff to all bunkers and would make them op

allow only berserker amulett in pvp than im fine with big nodes^^

things i wish for my mesmer

• delete mainhand sword on thief^^^^
• make mantras more viable like 1 stack per crit or shatter (max 5) with internal 5-10 sec CD, give aegis while casting a mantra
• protection for chaos armor (again)

edit: oh and before i forget^^ change colour on mantra for condi remove – i Can´t see the number on it

What type of structure would you find interesting for leagues and ladders?

• Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platin

How long should a season last?

• 1 Quartal/ 3 months

What would motivate you to play in one?

• progress
• rewards

What types of rewards would you like to see?

• Special Skins
• Tomes of Knowledge
• things people need when go in pve/wvw world like Karma, Badge of Honor, Obsidian Shards

How would a player earn these rewards?

• Give each tier his own Tokens like Bronze Token, Silver Token, Gold Token etc.
• make a limit for how much tokens can b earned per day
• Allow each Tier to change Tokens for the next higher Tokens like 5:1 – IMPORTANT Point for the next Question

How would you encourage players of all skill levels to participate?

• when people on low skill lvl still can work on higher rewards but with much more time than they will participate – when not than they will ignore pvp cause they know they dont have a chance to get this rewards
• make a weekly Meta Archievement with a number of games played/won and reward should be some tokens + other stuff like gold, karma, or whatever people want

Flintgold.5761:

There are several solutions that I can think of.

-Add in a faster afk timer that will log the afk people out or boot them to the zone they zoned in from. (Needs to be 5 min or so for the people that are just doing a fast bathroom or other break)

-Add in a personal counter so that you have to participate in so many events or rescues to get citizen rewards. Example: 1 event or 1 rescue for the first bag, 2 total events &/or 2 rescues for the 2nd bag & so on.

Those two would be the easiest to implement and fair to both style of players whether you are farming bags or helping with the rescue while those that come in and go afk the entire event will get nothing.

Though my favorite is the devs watching the afkers & getting rid of them…a lot more satisfying for those that are putting in the effort to complete the event. On that note, I am sure the devs would not just be tossing bans for people that afk for 5 minutes but for much longer. Would boot them from the event the first time & if found afking again, then ban.

wanna say a staff guardian spamming 1 in an event do more than someone being afk?

relax^^

they dont use 3rd party programs
just ctrl + leftclick on heal and you autoheal all day^^

anyway – this event is boring and after i did it 2 or 3x i started watching “Lost” again and im in Season 3 now throwing grenades brain afk on second screen on mobs near old mystic forge

i get more rewards doing this than the people who go for this citizens^^

its GW2 guys

Chesed.2890:

What bothers me the most is that if you have a guardian or warrior playing decap bunkers, no one bats an eye. But if an engi does it the whole world just flips out.

Also, this idea that “a build that is too effective with a low learning curve is broken” is bogus too. I guess if a brand new car is too easy to drive, we should add some extra wheels and buttons to make it harder to drive. This is a great way to improve accessibility.

because warrior and guardian don´t have anything like this

and build is not broken cause build is toooo effective

it is broken cause you can play it while watching tv
just run to far node and dodge around like idiot and spam all buttons for atleast 15 seconds

when die do it again

this build made me stop pvp now or i would get banned for raging^^

check spidy
http://www.gw2spidy.com/

you can search for your items and it say what you can craft with profit

this are no listings – its Items SOLD

im on 255.474

He´s using LFG tool selling Arah runs for the Pact.

i dont like this “limited” Living Story curencys too

they should make a NPC where can change 1:1 living story curencys for others from living storys before

or make 1 universal currency (like living story coin or linvig story token ….) and use it in all this

edit:
and with this they could make a living story npc working like blacklion ticket npc and sell older recipes from past storys more expensive than they was before – so had people a chance to buy older recipes or items when they missed the living story (but have to work more than for it like 5x the price it was at release)

should be a archievement like the endless salvage thing with 1500 rescues and every step give 1 point

style.6173:

@OP:

I agree. Put it all in skyhammer and then eliminate it from solo queue.

ye skyhammer should be moved to the “FUN” map section too^^

ahuba.6430:

totally, just what pvp needs, temporary kitten maps

noone said “temporary”
maps (or better the theme skins) can stay than forever

temporary would only be the livingstory rewards when this living story is active

edit:
it would work like the activities Sanctum sprint, Keg Brawl or the Survival Thing
it can still be played long time after the living story iwthout the rewards

azuzephyr.7280:

It’s a cute idea, but there are glaring issues in pvp that need addressing before we can start to look at throwaway maps to match living story events.

This would serve no purpose and take away valuable resources from the stuff that actually needs to be looked at.

ok what this would bring arenanet?

• PVE people maby goes PVP
• PVP people maby buy gems same as PVE People for this living story things when can be part in this living story
• a simple method to bring living story rewards in spvp
• more maps for custom arenas – maby players find something cool with this

what this bring for PVP people?

• something to do
• when living story team works on pvp pvp gets attention, this means maby more players, this means maby more interessting for arenanet, this means maby someday not everything is only on the horizont

thats why i said FUN maps – nothing to have in any tournament
just hotjoin

and i dont think it would be hard to make 4-5 simple prototype maps and than just make something like SKINS with the theme per living story

i talk bout simple maps like warsong in wow
or just a deathmatch arena (why not themed like this liadri thing?^^)

i tested a bit this living story we have atm cause lionsarch goes boom and i rly like the design

and i was thinking why arenanet dont make some spvp FUN maps per living story just with the design per story?

so Why we dont get a simple map with burning lionsarch and red sky with a 15 min timer and most points win at the end? – points just from kills or whatever

bring this in hotjoin browser or call it livingstory themed maps or something like this

and rewards you can even give at the end things like the PVE ppl get in pve while doing this living story

or would you be cool you can make this lionsarch siege so enemys look like scarlet mobs and not like normal players^^

you guyz could do soooo much with this ^^

edit:
just checked the living storys we had in last year and would you have done only every second or 3th living story a themed map (not competive jsut to have fun) we would have now alot^^

looks more like a bot thing for me
all Ores drop in price

and someone wrote before bout higher price in cooking mats – cause some people stock up on this materials without thinking or knowledge bout cooking at all^^

cook 500 will be the cheapest to level – there are much more lvl 400 recipes to discover again and most are very cheap or just need karma

Until now the big material sinks have not been leveling but crafting the timegated ascended mats.

ye – and this will not be the lvl 400 mats like in all other proffesions too its t2-5

yes i like the vertical progression and im happy anet go atleast with babysteps this way

im an oldschool gamer and MY games years ago had no lvl cap or things like this and im really annoyed by this facebook generation which want everything for free in games so gamecompanys dont make good games anymore and castrated the gengre MMORPG over the last years
