Guild Wars 2

Shirlias.8104:

I just hope ranked will be teamq only.
I know it will cut out many ppl, but at least will be only premade vs premade ( for unranked and casual, a different queue should be ok )

Because before we didn’t have successful Ranked SoloQ and TeamQ modes no?

Collero.7963:

Maylo.5892:

Soul.9280:

Please bring back soloq. If not, you’ll drive away those people who don’t have a team,

Already happened. Just saying.

This.

ANet have already lost so many players but they don’t give a kitten…

But they wrote on main page that PvP population increased by 135% or more since last November.

ilmau.9781:

we want WvW players, EOTM is not WvW sorry

In other words you want High Quality WvWers and you’re not interested in players who would like to start WvWing properly.

Looks like there was no problem to begin with.

Can we delete this topic please?

Gideon Ravenor.5603:

I see your problem here kBoom and I can understand your frustration. It’s clear that something should be done so that guilds do not get unintentionally fragmented during transfer.
However, the goal of this population change was to spread players more equally across the servers and I think that it has succeeded (to some degree) in this regard. Even though as you clearly point out there are associated problems.

It failed miserably.

Making people transfer from T?1 to T2/3 max is a fail.

Zero incentives and advertisements for transferring to bottom servers.

And what we need is to make part of T1/2/3 servers to gtfu to bottom servers and try to maintain 50/50 ratio.

Also, lock transfers for each account not once a week but maybe once a quarter or half a year.

Implement transfer controls.

And voila, it’ll be better tenfold.

SFR is 5th in EU ranking.

Good place.

Getting Queue on Prime time.

Working as intended.

trytonianYeti.4389:

I remember when radioactive won a match with the 2 power necro comp. That was the best match ever. helseth said they wouldnt win due to the gimmicky nature of their comp. my was he wrong.

He said many things.
And we know the outcome.

chemiclord.3978:

And here we go…

Players whining about promises not made not being kept already…

You are the reason why ArenaNet stopped communicating the with “fans” the first time. Stop it.

Oooh, how poor of them.
Why people have to criticize while they could sweet talk, no?

/inb4 infraction for being rude/hateful

Tman.6349:

Tao.1234:

There is an overlay mod for Gw2 that makes accurate Aim System like it’s in TERA Online.

one thing I don’t really get from anet is limiting number of targets that can be hit by aoe skills.

Why not allow people to hit as many targets as many jump under your blade?

Because WvW blobs and PvE would be broken with unlimited targets. Not to mention balancing ‘on hit’ or ‘on crit’ procs.

No?
Can start counter on first target hit?

And how would WvW and PvE be broken?

Blobs wouldn’t charge mindlessly and would have to dodge and avoid lot of things. Right now no one cares because everything is set on 5 targets and aoe it mitigated on whole blob when it moves.

And PvE broken? Hardly can pull lot of mobs since all areas are mixed with range + melee – aggro 5 range and you’ll die while tanking melee.

There was a very good Mantra change while back ago, which made Mantra spec viable.

But devs reverted that change couple hours after Mantra Mesmer stomped celeddele in tourney.

Sadly, don’t expect any changes in this aspect or any answers for the next 5 years.

Thank you for your understanding.

Ross Biddle.2367:

I had a match last night, 3 eles and a mes on my team, with me as a Mes main. Before the match begun I had to DC because my kid woke up. After dealing with her logged back in, entered the match late, and we still won 500-100 -_-u

Oh yeah, because there is no way that enemy team is made of bad players.

Enemy team is always filled with good players and they lose only because of some Rune, sigil or cat’s sneeze.

They should rework this rune a kitten

ange 4th stat for 25% chance on struck to grant might, fury and swiftness for 10sec(20sec cd).

It’ll finally be viable and at the right spot to rival Strength and Hoelbrak.

/kewl murican english anet, treating b.i.t as profanity.

My 3 cent regarding this event and Anet’s way of “improvement”.

Either Anet got inside couple of NCSoft Wannbes, or they’re trained to be one of them.

As it is obvious that Anet is under NCSoft, doesn’t change the fact that even just few years ago you didn’t do kitten stuff that NCSoft does.

Lately you do, and lot of your decisions and work simply shows that you’re becoming more and more like NCSoft – and that’s very bad.

I suggest stopping becoming NCSoft wannabe and follow the path like you used to do many years ago.

Otherwise, even F2P won’t help Gw2.

JEFFARR.8163:

A team of 3 turrets makes it to finals and it’s nerfedd the next day but now a team of 5 d/d show up and WINS the esl tourney and nothing happens I guess the community has to balance the game because the debs fail to.
A shame really lots of high tier pvp potential but terribad management

Being unable to kill turreter as ele or war back in that time showed the quality of ESL.

Serious Thought.5394:

I usually don’t care about it since I run max damage (meaning I kill faster than a stomp) but the Ele downed bug bugs me. Goes from 20-80% hp - but then my Eviscerate does 10k and we are all good again.

Rofl, you’re going for the kill instead of keeping him in downed state and turning game into 4v5 as long as possible? xD

Archaon.9524:

Oh yeah let’s put phantaram fresh air vs a random scrub d/d…

I can kill many cele d/d eles too with gs/hammer war in unranked so cele d/d is definately underpowered

That totally makes sense…

Cele d/d is underpowered.
No rocket science here.

Anet has to fix it so d/d will perform better.

If they’re bads and you have problem with them, then that shows how bad you actually are.

Stop complaining and l2p.

CeleDDEle is underpowered.
It needs to be buffed and receive more baseline aspects.

It has to be buffed to be balanced.

Aeolus.3615:

The changes might not be that different from what we have now.

Expect 4-6 months after HoT, meanwhile in that time, WVW tourney season, pvp tourney, then they will shift meta(as in most efficient class) to another class.
Ah, and they will nerf guardian shield, since not all guardians using meditations gs build.

lets just wait who will be the lucky ones.

>:}

Ele buff is a must.
It’s embarrassing how underpowered Elementalist class is.

No, we don’t need more game modes.

Also, enable Skyhammer and Spirit Watch in Ranked.

Danikat.8537:

The biggest problem is there would have to be at least 3 servers, for WvW and even then they’d be fighting each other all the time.

Are there enough active AU/NZ players to populate 3, or 6 servers?

I guess it would be better for them to have a SEA infrastructure.

Problem lies how many people play from SEA, and if releasing Gw2 there, would actually make it popular enough to open 6-9 servers for wvw.

Calm down m8, you’re spilling salt around.

Condi mesmers aren’t that strong in PvP arena – they shine in wvw.
Eles are underpowered and need to be buffed, that’s a solid fact.

Matchmaking is working just fine and leagues won’t be a problem.

Regarding that screenshot – it’s also part of diversity.
No eles, 5 eles, doesn’t matter what’s the number, it still part of team diversity.

And balance every 6 months is quite a frequent time window for balancing classes.

Usually it’s once a year.

Keep your good job Anet!

Current system works perfectly fine for almost a year and majority likes it very much.

No point changing a very good system.

#esport

250 wins – that should be a requirement for Ranked arena unlock.

Anet isn’t blizzard to set couple of servers in every region of the world.

If F2P player will like the game, he’ll buy HoT.

That’s how far this philosophy goes.

Sekai.2987:

Tao.1234:

Metrics show clearly that majority enjoy merged soloq and teamq, because they’re playing it daily.

So, why would we change a system that majority likes?
Especially when a peasant asks for it? :v

what metrics are you talking about ? source pls?

and of course we play daily because we like pvp, but that doesnt mean we dont hate it that we have matches vs premades as soloqer

i see on daily basis that either my team or my enemy team writes things like “gg premade, afk premade waste of time” and i honestly doubt that any soloqer enjoy it when they lose another match with 500-200~ because they face a 3-5 premade party

ps: and in worst case , some players dont even start a match because they see they are playing vs full premade , its not so often like the rage quits mid-match but i seen it serval times

You can ask Justin for metrics~

Imo, since Anet hasn’t changed it for almost a year(few months left) then that means it’s a great success no?

Why would you change something that’s a great success?

It’s unreasonable.

Metrics show clearly that majority enjoy merged soloq and teamq, because they’re playing it daily.

I’m actually very happy with this.

Looking forward to next step such as banning certain builds or even classes.

Because reasons.

Enjoyable~ xD

So, even ESL prO #eSport is limiting diversity?

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Man, this is getting funnier and funnier.

Lordrosicky.5813:

Not really. Games are based on having fun. There are many lame things which can be learnt to play against but it might not be fair and it might not be FUN to counterplay certain things = everything in the game.

This idea that anyone who says something is lame/op has l2p issues is hilarious to me. I had everyone tell me that on these forums for 2 years even when I was the highest rated solo player in the entire game, with the best MMR. People still told me l2p.

#terriblelogic=deadgame

You know what kind of experience I got from gaming in mmos?

Stuff like Leaderboards, MMR, Tournaments are overrated – and heavily on top of that.

But I do agree that L2p pharse doesn’t suit everything.

If by counterpart which you call lame – tell me then, what would you prefer?
Current Combat system in Gw2, or combat system based on trinity stuff like evasion/accuracy/resistance stats?

For me, the latter is the worst case.

Lordrosicky.5813:

F2P won’t benefit pvp. It will just be more people to quit when they realise how lame most of the mechanics are. Probably will just lead to even more bad word of mouth.

Lame are excuses for refusing to l2p.

And at some point it’s a good thing, because that means the Whining Alliance won’t be as strong as it looks to be.

Looks like ~50% winning ratio is going to drop quite fast and significantly.

Uh. Not sure how you got to that conclusion?

Because the vast majority of players in Guild Wars 2 are honestly not that good?

Not quite relevant to your win rate…

F2P have an access to ranked upon reaching Rank 20.

You expect them to be even slightly good with only one class?

Stupid rule.

/15chars

Give Legendary back pack for completing Yakslapper achievement.

You can roll in Exotic gear.

Ascended isn’t mandatory, doesn’t create a noticeable gap between itself and exotic.

You can buy trinkets on broker – finally Jewelry will be useful.

Necromonger.4970:

I was just wondering… do you sometimes make non-sarcastic posts ?

Yes, but then they’re getting infracted and I’m getting suspended from forums.

I liked how dood yday was happy that Gw2 has the most friendly community in all MMOs this year.

Well, f2p gonna change that~ :v

I suggest to contact Inquest and give them a pass to take all f2p players and bots to experiment on them.

New subjects are always welcome.

Dunno what you’re on about OP.

Eles are underpowered.

Behellagh.1468:

Tao.1234:

How about putting Laurels in Gem Shop?
And nerfing it’s income from login rewards?

Why nerf them? F2P can’t get them other than achievement chests as they are locked out of login rewards.

I know that f2p players can’t get them from login rewards.

How about putting Laurels in Gem Shop?
And nerfing it’s income from login rewards?

5 CeleDDeles is teh goal!
5 Eles!

After that, end of the world.

P.S. – Make Burning Ashes baseline.
#esport

Gw2 on Console – confirmed.

/sad2

ROFL……………..
/sad

Working as intended.

If it didn’t work better than separate SoloQ and TeamQ then Anet would revert this change for sure.

Since they didn’t, it means that majority approve of it, love it and enjoy it.

Disagree with removal of Celestial Amulet.

There is not that much difference with other amulets.

I disagree with OP.

CptCuddles.8912:

It took over a year for them to fix turret engis by simply making them susceptible to condition and crit damage. I’ve spent two years hoping there’s pretty much nothing left.

Fix?

Fixing means toning it down and keeping it viable.

Turrets aren’t viable in pvp even a bit.

But it’s time to buff celeele, so #hype.
