I agree on the promotion part.
I really had no idea when the matches were untill they were already in progress or over.
I had to watch them all at past broadcasts on the gw2 twitch wich annoyed me a bit..
My games crashes a lot too since last update, thought it was my own net…
If you like pvp you can get tons of level up scrolls there.
I pvp like every day so getting atleast one level up scroll a day there.
I had characters lv80 who have never been further than their starter zone.
Now i keep getting more level up scrolls while i have no use for them anymore…
Look at all the esports

Pve’ers will just join the skyhammer farm servers to hit eachother and fall down repeatedly to get their special pvp armor. Anet really has to do something about those servers.
I don’t know under what rock you are living but there’s a feature pack coming focussing on pvp. Why don’t you check the website for the news
Magic find does effect pvp chests.
I’ve been reporting the farm servers for exploiting almost every day as well and sometimes even the players in it since the dev reply on the skyhammer farm thread.
That’s some serious manipulation in those servers.
Just like the old Red Resign day in gw1, people decide not to play pvp and just let the other team win, and arenanet was really clear about it not being allowed and they were banning people doing that as well.
Even after so many reports the servers are still there..
But have to do something while waiting in queue so it kind of became a daily routine
When you play Guild Wars 2 already for almost 2 years.
I’m sure you made enough money by now to buy atleast one precursor.
Unless you waste all your money on other stuff :p
EU and NA will get rekt at gamescom.
China best team
LotrO has the worst PvP
agreed.
It was fun for a while untill they changed the whole moors and now it’s either unfair or dead.
HJ rewards should be way lower or even removed from the game.
Hotjoin is the place to try out new builds or whatever, it should not be rewarded this much.
Then maybe those ridiculous custom arena’s where everyone farms ranks will go away too.
(you know: 500rankfarm / red cap / blue kill / no trolling no skyhammer)
I did spend my glory but i had unused finishers i bought from the gemstore in my pvp bank.
They didn’t mention anything about removing those and the response on my ticket was no refunds.
So i don’t think you could get any refund on something they did mention that they were going to remove, as they don’t even give refunds on items bought with gems being removed without a warning.
The benefits would be massively outweighed by the inability to create and be relatively secure in your own group. When there’s so much kicking for stupid, arbitrary reasons in PUG groups, I feel I need the facility for making my own group from which players are strongly disincentivized from kicking me.
But then there’s still the party leaders that leave the party themself.
This week i was at the 4th fractal (Jade Maw) and this guy just goes like..
I go do tequatl with guild now bye.
And whole party got kicked from fractals…..
Is there any exact date already when the tournament is being held?
Do they play on all 4 days? only on saturday? what time?
For the ones who would like to go to gamescom for 1 day it would be a good thing to know when they play the all-stars tournament so we can buy tickets already.
I find this jumping puzzle quite easy.
I only had some trouble getting to the diving goggles.
Maybe i got used jumping on the bamboo because of the Bazaar.
Getting to the top of the tower of the big airship there was awesome.
Why do you use Renewed Focus instead of Tome of Courage?
That achievement is so easy to get using Tome of Courage…
As said before in the closed skyhammer farm thread.
Skyhammer farmers should get reported.
I believe this is the same map they showed us before in that stream with all the new maps/ideas they are working on.
Looks a bit like 2 bases with guild lords and a circle in the middle for the morale boost flag? :p
There’s a few of these servers already on EU with some name like:
GLORY FARM – red team cap only – follow the rules or kick
That server must be fun because its always at 20/20
about 200 in each armor one (except cultural ofc)
and around 30-35 for every weapon
I kind of only cared getting my armor sets complete.
We haven’t even seen the full balance notes yet, only a few of the changes..
You seriously think you will land frostbow 5 on any living being?
You would be surprised how many actually get hit by frostbow 5 in hotjoin.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-wardrobe-system/
There it is.
Brace yourselves, pve heroes with legendarys are coming to pvp.
Why didn’t i notice this during the stream..
Just looked it up and yup, it’s right there at the top
I like to do this as well on my full glass ele in spvp when im bored.
Try this in tournament and thiefs kitten you.
It might have an internal cooldown yea so we don’t know enough yet about this trait if it’s op or not.
Also.. hambows have passive heal.
d/d, s/d ele’s have passive heal
guardian’s block while healing
thief’s withdraw evades while healing
etc.. there’s a lot of healing skills that are very hard to interrupt wich i think is the most important skill that you would like to interrupt.
Can’t wait for the next few ready up’s see what else they got in store for us
Does rank even matter? Just play.
Yea you must be fine with rank 1-10’s in your team
They are just as good as rank 50+’s
Even before this patch there were custom servers already that only play skyhammer.
With names like RED CAP ONLY
assuming red caps only, red only wins and pretty fast too.. this used to give very little rewards untill now.
I still don’t get the system quite yet though,, who would want to go blue if only red wins…
Been reporting those servers for days but some of them are still there.. So i’ll just continue reporting them since Chris Cleary told us to.
Yes they are. they said that before
Renewed Focus and Shelter going into their full cooldown when interrupted exists for quite some time now.. Pretty annoying indeed
Last time the bonus went live pretty soon after the ready up.
So i’m expecting it soon this time as well.
Anything PvP related.
They did say that the feature patch will bring more runes and sigils from pve to pvp.
So noble might get added as well.
+1 I’d like to know this as well.
That’s a lotta dyes.
You should start crafting already.
One key one action is the macro rule of gw2 yea.
I have one macro profile on my Roccat mouse where i changed the function of my scroll wheel both directions to left mouse button.
Stacks of bags or luck are now gone in no time by just scrolling up and down.
And yet it’s still one key one action ^^
I watched the ESL Weekly Cup and thief is now best bunker class.
http://www.twitch.tv/blu42/b/508762726 @1:58:10 for the ones who missed it.
Since the info in that ready up i’ve started to work on my luck.
No idea what they’ll do with magic find in pvp but we’ll just have to wait untill the big patch arrives i guess.
This is exactly the thing i hate most in this map.
Stealth pulling……
No announcement anywhere but it seems we’re getting 20 pve bags every match win now.
People shouldn’t have voted for Kiel.
If Evon would’ve won the ellection things would surely be better right now.
Well gold will become the only currency since they remove glory.
So i guess the best use for most of those mats will be to craft dyes.
As answered in the sticky FAQ.
Q: Will rank points remain the same?
A: Starting on 3/18, we will be awarding increased rank points in all areas of PvP.
pve update every 2 weeks.
pvp update every 4 months.
niiicee
What will happen to the pvp locker? Will current pvp gear become soul bound needing to be deposited in the pve bank or remain account bound? Will pvp exclusive gear remain account bound and deposited in the pvp locker?
I’d like to know this as well.
Is it a good idea to fill up our pvp lockers now?
What happens to duplicate pvp gear?
Just watch the stream this evening.
Or read the summary threads after it.
Im sure they’ll explain a few things.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Dev-livestream-Ready-Up-Feb-14-2pm-Scrims-more
I might not be able to watch it but the rank point weekend sounds great!
And i’d love to hear about what’s going to happen with glory.
Still have 150 of those boosters… but i keep getting them back from daily/monthly and tourny wins. Can they please drop less or get a better use?
