Is it just me?

The reason behind it is because people do not know what builds others are playing.
As in having 5 different classes: Ok
But having 5 zerkers (because you can’t control what the people are running as builds)

In my opinion this can be easily fixed if you can queue up as Roamer, DPS or DPS/DEF Support, next to the class-stacklimit. So that you would always have 5 different classes AND different roles (1 roamer allowed per team, 2 or 3 DPS allowed per team and 1-2 Support allowed per team).

People also are afraid of class-stacklimit because it would make queue times longer.
Anet can also implent a code where class-stacklimit increase from 1 to 2 after a 4-5mins queue.

TL;DR all the stuff people are afraid about can be fixed by Anet in the longrun, but they don’t want to take the risk of voting “yes”.

Season 6 RESULTS POLL

in PvP

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

After doing a small Poll to see what the community here would like to see for Season 6 Ranked, it is quite obvious that the majority does not want another Season just SoloQ anymore.

Majority voted for SoloQ and TeamQ seperately.
Results can be seen here http://www.strawpoll.me/12343163/r
(you can still vote if you want)

I hope ArenaNet will take this into account!
(I think I saw a dev replying few weeks ago they were probably doing another SoloQ Only Ranked for Season 6 again)

Warrior, resistance and boon removal

in PvP

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

Each and every build in the meta has it’s OP’ness but also their weakness.
I agree, as a fellow warrior, it’s a low-risk, high-reward atm.

However, Warrior is kind of in the same boat as DH.
It destroys new to average players but experienced players (yes, even condi necro’s) can deal with Warriors head on.

I am certainly not a pro but when queue’ing I come across Necro’s (maybe alts?) which can just kite me around applying so much chill and cripple after Bers Mode is off, I literally need to disengage or swap with someone else.

I agree Warrior and DH needs tweaking if we are aiming towards a PvP made for everyone (making it noobfriendly and aiming for bigger community).

But Anet knowing, that means both classes (like Rev) will be handicapped too much.
Unless they offer other variants/builds for both to be useful in Conquest.

I do not care that much as Warrior is “only” my second main class.

A good player will defeat an average player, no matter class or build.
Let’s not forget this.

Over 70-80% of the kills I get on Warrior is due stupid mistakes mechanically, lack of insight in fights or bad rotations. (trying to rev downded while I cleave, condi-bombing while Bers Mode is on, using CC’s while stability, using burst while Endure the Pain,.. I can go on)

TL;DR: If I can suggest one thing, it’s making Berserker Stance and Endure the Pain being more visable to players.
Some sort of aura, like Berserker Mode, which is quite visible to see for enemy players. This will stop people (averages) from wasting their CD’s instead of looking at a small icon on top of the screen waiting for EtP and/or BS to pop. This will also grant an easier time for new players to learn what visuals they need to look at

Aura’s:

  • Berserker Mode = RED aura
  • Endure the Pain = BLUE aura
  • Berserker Stance = YELLOW aura (like Vengeance)

Anet should just be carefull not to let it mix colors, otherwise you get a rainbow of clusterfluck of colors when all 3 are popped for some reason.
There are enough ways to make it visible.

PC fully shuts down during load screens

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

The fact it happens with Gw2 only is because GW2 is CPU demanding.
Which brings me to a conclusion that the issue is either your motherboardsocket or the CPU itself.

Try running Prime95 stresstest (for atleast an hour, do nothing while it’s doing the test, go outside or something) and let us know what happens.
If your PC shutsdown within that hour, it means your OC is not stable OR your CPU/socket is baked from before.

I have submit a support ticket yesterday and already 3 different GM’s are on my ticket.

1 requested a game-test with NCSoft software (check and saw there was datapackage loss between my and their network)

Second GM asked me to do a WinMTR test for half an hour to one of the /ip of the game.
It was clear the highest ping was coming from NCSoft.

Third GM is the best one yet.. asked me to test without my hub and connect my PC (top floor) to connect directly to my modem (totally downstairs).
This would be a good troubleshoot if I would have high ping and lag anywhere, which I don’t. It is only in GW2.

Waiting for GM number 4 now lol…

My opinion is that the best is 1-2 soloq league system + 5v5 “EVENTS”

Realistically the majority plays the solodou system the majority of time. Its finally a working ladder. Ofc tweaks and anti exploit fixes are a part of maintanance but overall the system is working.
Maybe rewards, atm the lowest afk loser gets about 50% of the average maximun of top players. Thats gold, yes the titttle is cool but id prefer a more elitist gold per hour distrubution

As for 5v5, that happenes at best 1-2hours per day, so my next wish is a 5v5 ingame tournamt system ( daily, weekly, hourly, 8-hourly….)
A 5man que would be too hard and long to constantly peoduce good matches. Also it shouldnt be stealing and competing with the regular main que -the soloduo elo que.
A daily 2 hour period tournament, that doesnt even need a complex elo system, just simple additive points showing you placed top8,8,16,16,32 meaning youre around top15 out of the 40teams that will sign up.
Rewards need to much more unevenly spread like at least 2x more for each next tier rached

So i want the current soloq to be the main bread and butter, and 5man team more of a limited dessert

Nice idea aswel!

Profession Locking Poll - February 16th 2017

in PvP

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

I think its a very good idea to poll this and not just dump it on people. Thank you for that!
Question is, if we have our classes locked will matchmaking force tournament rules on us, I mean 1 class per team only? I would love to try this. yes qtime will most likely increase, but Id rather wait 2-3 minutes more in q than having 10 minutes of a frustrating match with 5 thieves/guards. unranked could still stay the way it is now.

It’s hard to say what will happen to queue times if we enforce a hard limit on professions. The compromise is to let the profession limit increase over time.

I would 100% agree with this!
Hard limit but increase over time is best solution.

Profession Locking Poll - February 16th 2017

in PvP

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

Do I get it correcty that with the “YES” option, there is no way for me as a player to adapt to team composition? Say, i see we have DPS with no sustain before the match starts, there is no way for me to swap to support, even if this swap would not cause class stacking?

Then I find it a bad idea, it takes away an important aspect of the game and makes Solo/DuoQ even more a lottery because class is not identical with role.

You are correct, but there are trade-offs to both options. This is why we created a poll! If we lock characters on queue, we can do things like use profession-specific MMR, have profession leaderboards, etc.

Aslong you do not prevent class-stacking in matchmaking, the profession leaderboard will be useless.
Alot of matches of mine have 2 thieves in either mine or opponent team or both; which is utterly bad for every non-organized team (SoloQ) unless you’re the best of the best.

Same here, even the forums are lagging, everything not involved with ncsoft is fine.

So…what I understood from all these threads (with no dev response whatsoever) is that we’re, basically locked out of the game, and cannot do anything about it, because it’s the fault of someone that our ISP’s are hiring. ISP most likely won’t give a kitten about us not being able to play a video game, not to mention even if they did, the third party probably doesn’t care either.

Take a look at my screenshot and see where the ping goes up from 20ms to 2000ms
It’s not our ISP’s, they have literally nothing to do in this matter (Belgacom is my ISP).

The node at 89.149.164.42 is owned by Tinet Spa a server hosting company. I don’t think Anet has anything to do with them. But what I think is your biggest problem, is the 74% packet loss through your own ISP’s node. You might want to question that with them. This happens a few nodes before the ping spike and may be related.

Also, to back up my previous statement, this is officialy from PingPLotter itself, it exactly shows what I said:

There is packetloss but the average latency remains low.
As you can see in the following nodes, the latency remains fine untill it reaches the node right infront of NCSoft.

Packetloss is based upon 4 pings, just like a regular “ping 8.8.8.8”
Does it mean there is no stable connection?
No because it is a snapshot of those 4 pings, with an average of 9ms mind you.

Checking at the node right before NCSoft, that’s where the delay happens.. The response to the ping is taking over 2000ms, which has nothing to do to packetloss, because it would be lower then.

This is a different issue NCSoft needs to resolve.

I’ll run PingPlotter again tonight in different map and see what it does.

I don’t get why people would think having 2v2/3v3 would save the game.
Seems I need to repeat myself over and over: game is balanced around 5v5, look at the skills and the traits.

2v2/3v3 would work if it would have it’s own balance-team, which is not going to happen as Anet already has enough work for the 5v5 in Conquest.

I’m totally up for 2v2/3v3 but I’m being realistic, knowing alot of top-notch devs already left Anet, it’s either not coming or it’s coming with lots of balance-issues due skills/traits being balanced for 5 targets/allies.

Not sure what you mean by "skills/traits being balanced for 5 targets/allies.. A skill being able to target up to 5 targets doesn’t make it unusable in a 2v2/3v3.

“Game is balanced around 5v5, look at the traits/skills.”
Almost every profession can be customized for a 2v2/3v3 matchup w/o a node, you just don’t see these different builds because meta is around 5v5 conquest which kind of forces 1-2 builds per profession, kind of sad when you think about the limitation it imposes on us to be competitive. If a deathmatch ranked is introduced, you can be tailoring your build depending on what your teammates are playing to promote synergy while considering the opponents/matchup at the same time.

Not hard to understand: a skill able to hit up to 5 allies/targets is not meant to be as strong meant for 2 or 3 targets, so that’s already a balance-issue.

Certain builds right now in Conquest cannot be defeated in a 2v2 with Druid, like Necro/Druid in Conquest is one of the strongest setup together.

Let me give you an example based on current 5v5 balance in a 2v2 match:

  • Team A: Thief and Thief
  • Team B: Druid and DH

Who wins with the current balance of Conquest? Do you see the problem?
2v2 and 3v3 will need it’s own balance-team since Anet does not want matchmaking based on classes (for example getting 2 Thieves on a team) so you’ll most likely get a Thief and Thief comp vs OP comp.

They’ll have to make every class + every class work vs every class + every class.

Yes, also having issues, with similar tracert results.

It’s not our ISPs, its something right before our connection hits the NCSoft servers/network.

Meaning ArenaNet might have more leverage to get this fixed than we do, if anyone ever bothers looking here that is.

I believe so too. Out of the testing it’s clear it is very close to their network, right after it leaves NCSoft’s network.

I voted for solo and team (2-5), but in addition I think it should include separate leaderboards and equal rewards. If titles are included then there should be separate titles for solo and team queue as well. Both should have the same map selections as well. They shouldn’t make solo seem like unranked, just have a third option for unranked instead. That’s my opinion.

Yup, what you said about LB is exactly the same as how PvP used to be (pre-2015). Team and Solo Q had each their LB respectively.

Win-trading also happens in SoloQ, as many players already discussed and displayed for currency.

Yes, but that was riskier. Team-queue would take out all of the risk because during off hours you’d have a almost guaranteed chance of getting matched against your wintrading partners. Moreover you would not have the problem of your wintrading partners getting paired with you instead of against. Worse still with 5man wintrades there are no pugs around to witness and whistleblow.

I support being able to queue teams, but team-only queue is just a exploit waiting to happen.

They could avoid that issue by implementing a querry where the teams have to wait 1 game before facing eachother again, at the cost queue-time.
Should not be an issue whilst prime-time, though.

I have to agree with Cynz concerning thieves.
All we got was Acrobatics 2.0, so nothing really changed except for 2 dodges more (traited).

“Dodging around hitting people” that’s what thieves do since start of the game.
That’s basically what all classes do, whereas Thieves excel at.

It’s a good argument concerning thieves and daredevils, here is the main difference for me. When they first revealed daredevil, a super athletic class with a staff/pole dodging around. Yeah it wasn’t too much different from thief as thats kinda what they already did minus the staff, but it did what it advertised. Dodging even more and hitting people.

Chronomancer, manipulator of time, doesn’t really use much time manipulation, this doesn’t mean I think chrono currently sucks or doesn’t play “well”, but I feel like I’m playing vanilla mesmer if that makes sense. If I wasn’t using the shield and CS I’d probably forget lol

If we are looking at that way, black and white, then I have to say Anet delivered what they said in their promotion about Chrono’s.

Slow makes us attack slower while you can attack much faster (quickness).

You can’t expect a time manipulator in terms of going back into time in PvP, that would even hurt their servers lol.

I highly suggest swapping ports…

-clientport 80

Instructs the client to connect to the game servers over port 80 (HTTP) instead of 6112 (commonly used for games).
Some ISPs may prioritize traffic at certain times, and some networks may block port 6112. This may be useful to avoid such scenarios.
Some ISPs, networks, and other forms of MITM attacks may modify traffic on port 80 which will lead to issues with the GW2 client if this option is used.

-clientport 443

Instructs the client to connect to the game servers over port 443 (HTTPS) instead of 6112 (commonly used for games).
Some ISPs may prioritize traffic at certain times, and some networks may block port 6112. This may be useful to avoid such scenarios.
Some ISPs, networks, and other forms of MITM attacks may modify traffic on port 443 which will lead to issues with the GW2 client if this option is used (this is less-likely to occur than with port 80).

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

I only had to open up ports 1 time in my life and that was for CoD’s on PC, which need quite a few ports.

I’ll just sit here and wait untill Anet sorts this out.

This problem started out of the blue 2 weeks ago so it’s not on my end. (based upon tests in other games and general ping test around to Germany, since their EU servers should be there)

Never had more than 50ms last 4 years in GW2 so it’s safe to assume problem lies somewhere at their side.

Chronomancer? Not really.

I have to agree with Cynz concerning thieves.
All we got was Acrobatics 2.0, so nothing really changed except for 2 dodges more (traited).

“Dodging around hitting people” that’s what thieves do since start of the game.

Hi all,

Just wanted to point out that connection to my client seems to be unstable last couple of weeks.

Info:

  • normal ping: 25 – 35ms
  • ping last 2 weeks: 35 – 4900ms (mostly about 35ms but very long times it is between 500 – 4900ms)
  • Location: Europe, Belgium
  • Timezone: GMT+1
  • Playtime: 20:00 – 23:00 GMT+1

Ping screenshot in attachment.
I also noticed the startup client had some delay this evening.

I can also confirm my connection/ping in other games are fine, aswel as pinging to 8.8.8.8 (22ms) on a steady basis (ping 8.8.8.8 -t)

Anything I should know about?
Anything that could be done? Can’t really play this way, obviously.

And yes, already restarted my router.

Kind regards

Decay is too much

in PvP

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

I can only play once every few days and here I am, -650 decay and in Bronze (never been there lel)

I only played 2 matches and what annoys me most is that I lost both of them and lost +100 rating for it.

Like wtf, can’t carry teams going 5v1 mid all the time.

Second game I got farmed by enemy thief much better than me, probably being in bronze due decay aswel but..
MM doesnt make any sense when playing with decay… U got put with ppl who are stuck in bronze (new or less exp players) and ppl who come from Gold/Pat and Legendary (good, veteran players) being in Bronze due decay.

The MMR is way too volatile when playing with decay.

THAT IS A NO-GO.

1 decay is too low
2 they(anet) said decay afect your rating in scoreboard, not your mmr , you are in bronze for classification things but in your real mmr for mm
3 in gold plat if you play ofpeak hours can easily be farmed by ESL level players due to lack of population(read the threats about q manipulation)
4 if you decayed you have a bonus of +100 score in a win, that is you thing your mmr is volatile
5 firts matches after clasificatory ones are big reward or big loss
6 whith only 2 matches you think you deserve x position more than one with hundreds?

About point 6.. I think you got it wrong, already got like 100 games or so this season. Im talking about 2 games WHILST decay -650. (from Gold T3 to Bronze T2-T3)

Voice Function for SPVP

I’m new to pvp and so far I’ve read more harsh comments than tips on how to improve. Not sure how it would be to hear such harsh comments, or cursing…

Most of the ones calling you trash in comments dont have the guts to tell you that through mic. It has been like that in most games Ive played (Battlefields and CoD’s)

The good thing about it is that you can just mute if there is one troll/flamer.

Bring back Team Queue and REAL Solo Queue

SoloQ leaderboard
TeamQ leaderboard

No class stack
This also solve the issue you default lose the game with 2 random thieves etc.

That’s what I have been hoping for last couple of years but ppl complain queue time might be too long. While 1-2mins longer is not really an issue for me.

Oh I didn’t realise AG was still going in NA. Cos I’m in Australia the time diff has made it very hard for me to play. Then I heard it had ALL stopped. Must try to figure out way to get in and play.

Well, the last tournament AG did for GW2 was 30th of November so Im not sure whats up with it now.

I did not keep in touch with Storm so you gotta ask him when he’s online on his stream. (https://www.twitch.tv/gamewithstorm)

He’s in charge of AG NA

I wasn’t around back in the good ol’ days. Was so disappointed when I found out there used to be regular in-game tournaments. Obviously Anet are not familiar with the saying “if ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Think they must be working on a new adage “if its broken, let’s keep using it.”

Yes, we had a few “organisations” (including mine with 2 others called Academy Gaming in EU) that organized 5v5 every week. It got streamed and was supported by Anet by weekly gem-prizes. (2k gems for each player in winning team, 1200 and 800 respectiverly)

But for some reason, it kinda lost attraction, probably due off-season period being very calm and lots of people playing other games.
Also Academy Gaming (now only for NA) has aimed more towards Overwatch, it seems.

If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would but I really lack the time and energy to organize everything from the ground up again.

It took a month or 2 to have fully operating tournemant, with helpfull people as admins helping to PM everyone and get 4 arenas together, with each a watching eye from an admin.

Warrior is op

Posted by: Terrorsquad.2349

Terrorsquad.2349

Warrior somehow has gone untouched for a long time. Dunno how when they have some clearly op skills and other skills that are clearly underpowered.

Untouched for a long time? It got nerfed/changes/buffs every patch lol.
Mostly useless buffs on skills/traits warriors don’t use, but that can be said for every class
