I guess the solution is the pip system, if a good player plays only during the weekend, they miss grinding time and therefore are in a lower rank as they should be.
Also because their number is significant, they can’t grind enough pips on the weekend, because rhey face a lot players who also play only during the weekilend.
And because the players who grind their way up during the week, noticed that, they play an other part wvw/pve during the weekend and this causes even a higher quality rise in low ranks.
This Problem could be easily solved with a buff, that gives you twice as much pips if you haveb’t played ranked for 4 days – but that would cause a lot of new Problems and therefore would be a bad solution
I noticed the same with my guild dous/trios – our quality didn’t change, but the enemy quality rised for making fights more intense – while during the week (after work is over) a guild duo/trio meant most of the time free pips
Ross if bad players would cause a quality drop on weekends, won’t that mean the wintlrate on weekends would rise (weaker enemys)?
Besides the first generation of full time gamers grew up and god jobs, that’s why they flood on the weekend as well – and except their lack of time, most of them are well gamers woth good builds
The people aren’t exhauszed from work, only those who are good stay at the weekend (others do something with friends, pve or real life) and since you won during the week those who lost against you get the easyer enemys
Sinmir make a lonfer pebalty for declining (tgat includes -50% luck or similar) and it won’t lead to something like that
A burning glider! But not just a glider on fire, a asura/charr tecnology glider (don’t care with one) that works 4 out of 5 times normal, but that one time one side of the jet engines/glider hover tec malfunctions and is on fire (like a crashing airplane in a B movie)
Or maybe make it even explode (randomly) with a BOOM animation and fire afterwards (doesn’t affect the gliding, just a fancy animation
This also needs strategy, if you steal, don’t be seen, wait for max damage, disable the enemys if possible from hitting
Also if you attack first, keep an eye for enemys, try to kill them before they steal, decide if you use your strongest move against your enemy or the beast.
This sounds like a lot of strategy…. more strategy as just ‘who hit’s it most get’s it’
And let’s think this to the end, this would mean, the enemy runs to you killing the beast, now they try to kill you while the beast attacks you as well, them they wait until the beast heals itself, otherwise you would get the points, now they attack and you run to them trying the same – repeat and repeat… sounds boring
I don’t mind an uncreative map, as long as they don’t outsource it to the jumping puzzle guys, we saw what happend in HoT when they give map design up to them…
I just want a nice sylvari themed map, shouldn’t be as difficult
I wonder if there will be a sylvari themed map?
(Story wise could it be sometging out of the dream, since the dream reflects all – including pvp)
A big map would be nice, with a lot of plants that you can’t see where the enemy runs, maybe even place point A and C on a treestump and a big flower above the groundlevel – and an event that triggers the growth of twilight arbor flowers.
A charr copter!
Sure it won’t be a real glider, because it covers your compleat character, but it would be extremly cool!
I know, because of the size, it should be very rare, therefore put it in the black lion chest with a very low drop rate
The skins are already in the game, therefore it won’t need much recources and could permanently boost buying black lion chest keys
Topher but then you would be forced to be in one map – sure, full of interestimg stuff with a lot of exciting things to do – but you would be still stuck in one map…
Besides, if you only use solo Q during the main times, the Q is not as long…. and the teams that result out of those short Q’s are a fair bunsh of good mixed players! </sarcasm>
First, what annoys plaxers most? It isn’t losing a game – it’s losing pips!
Therefore my Suggestion for the next pip system;
- Ged rid of win streaks and losing streaks!
- not every win/lose should be equal
The difference in points should make a difference,
If the losing team got 0-100 points, lose 3 pips
101-200 lose 2 pips, 201-400 lose 1 pip, 401-499 lose 0 pips, 500 gain a pip, it is a very rare even match!
Also for the winners – if the enemy get 0-200 they get 3 pips, 201 -300 the winners get 2 pips, 301-500 the winners get just 1 pip
This should encurage both teams to give their best until the end of the game – since it still makes a difference how drastical the difference in points is! (And really good teams should move quickly in higher divisions)
Also in case the winning team gets 600+ in foefire this earns 3 extra pips, but only in case the enemy got at least 350 points – that way many will be tempted to wait for the bosskill and thetefore give the enemy a fair chance of winning, even when they risk losing if the enemy still mamages to kill their boss
Go into a duo or trio Q (there are enough big pvp guilds) this should get you out of the mmr hell, if it’s really the fault of your team
Same reason i can’t use my chibi head laboratory, they don’t want cosmetic trinkets working. Also don’t forget many PvP players don’t even see the colors you put on your armor, they just see the armor colors red or blue by default
I always use a combination of staff // sword shield – depending how close i fight, greatsword is way to distance demanding
And as long as raids don’t have a working group search, no thanks, i am not interested in searching hours just to discover that the group disasembles as fast as it assembles until i run out of time and can barely be there at the first try and wasted a compleat day for nothing…
Dragonstand, Silverwaste, fractals, etc
Soon i’ll decided to start my ascendent, therefore i want to ask, is berserker still the best choice for staff // sword/shield mesmer or something else a better choice?
Your character frantically flapping their arms like wings.
I’d buy that!
Ling down and flapping or even standing (like when you slow down with the glider) and flapping? I don’t care, i’d buy it anyway!
…would perfectly match to my chibi-head laboratory and my favourite head skin, the karaka-baby-mask! <3
I am just ashamed this idea never occured to me…
An insect wing glider would be great! (And shouldn’t be to difficult to create) just take a random diptera species and copy the wing structures of that insect, now make a backpiece that looks like non flying position and a glider that moves like a flying insect of that species!
(You could even make many different insect gliders - buy the first in the gemstore, unlocks nearly identical looking ones from other insects, you have to achieve by ridiciulus achiefments - and if you got all gliders - you unlock an insect wing glider that doesn’t look like the others (butterfly, dragonfly, moth, ladybug or similar insect glider)
Or give each race an other insect glider pattern (in tgat case, a must have for asura would be drosophila melanogaster wing pattern, also the best researched wing pattern there is)
.......
.
.
And an other idea, give Zommoros/the mystic forge a unique glider (uhm maybe somthing made out of his wine and phioles of blood, a liquid glider made out of red wine/blood ( something like this - just in red (start 1:50) https://youtu.be/uNEOPshLfUM ) but it doesn’t really matter, it just needs to be unique) and the droprate should be lower as the old precusers, but with clothes instead of weapons!

Oh yes, everytime someone out of my guild wants to do something in the new maps, it’s already done until i manage finding a way there…
Because of that fun i have, finding my way in this Labyrinth, i gave up and stoped playing in the new areas (except dragon stand – there i stoped because of tge DC that happen just before the final fight and you just wasted to much time for nothing)
No i don’t mean that centaur, that teached them that everything has a right to grow – i mean the multiple charr/humans that teach them by action, not words, that not everything has a right to grow
I may wonder, do we know if the itzel & nuhloch where attacked by mordremoth before the pact attacked?
Because if he attacked only afterwards, it’s just an protection against those aggressiv ‘flesch things’
And we shouldn’t forget, mordremoth knows what the sylvari know – therefore he knows what the charr & humans did to their forrest (not sure about the norn) – they destroyed them!
And even if cutting each single tree in the jungle won’t kill mordremoth, it surely would hurt him and cause damage, a lot of damage!
And he also knows that the charr and humans corruptet his own grandchildren, the sylvari! Everything has a right to grow? Yeah? I better don’t start counting when a sylvari kills plants in the story! Even when we exclude all plants controled by mordremoth!
May i suggest a little Change with an big impact for dragon stand?
Sometimes it happens that we get an DC – in all other maps it is no big deal, because we are in anti-DC Groups and can easily rejoin, however in dragon stand it is really really difficult to rejpin and unlike other maps, you are in that map from the beginning until the end…
Therefore how about a 5min reconection protection? If i get an DC i got 5 min where my place in the map isn’t given to anybody else and i can rejoin?
If i wanted to quit the map (who quits Dragon Stand voluntary?) 5 min aren’t as long except on the final fight (again, who would quit there voluntary?) But enough time for most users to reconect and rejoin the map they where helping from the beginning
Because when i get an DC there and permanently try to reconect, it is a bad feeling that i van only reconect if someone else is even unluckyer than me and got an DC after me…
I use the bank and auctionator in the PvP lobby regulary, it is not rarely that i just log in there, go back to the normal map and after that the next 30 minutes different gold sellers contact me, only when i visited the map – and blocking them is no use – it’s always a different one contacting me, never had the same wisper me twice…
I wonder if there will come an other use for the shards of glory? (new skins for weapon/armor crafting, etc) or if i can trow them away? Even exchange against karma would be nice (an NPC that we can donate a fixed amount per day or so)
Lately i started seeing 2 or 3 men groups fight against compleatly solo players, i meant this season groups would only fight against groups? Have i missed a note?
Maybe they will come, just not all at the same time? Let’s hope…
Hehe, we need a How It Should Have Ended gw2 edition.
How it should have ended; “should we cut off each single tree and burn eatch plant?”
“No, the roots are to deep, it will just regrow”
- asura “great endless wood supply! I start buulding lumberjack golems with integrated portal, sell all the wood and make millions! Until the price drops, then i start sending the wood to jormak, buring in and endless fire until he melts, two dragons destroyed, who’s in?”
Maybe sell a “mode designer transmutation” that allows me to transmutate the headpiece of my outfits, that way we can getthe headpiece we want and A-Net gets a new top seller, win-win
I definitely don’t want anet to change the asuras body type, but it would be really nice to use more of the female versions of outfits.
( On a less related note, it would be awesome if you could switch between the different gendered outfits regardless of sex! )
Do you really want to see and fight with fat male norns fighting in “sexy” dresses?
Elder Scrolls Online lets you put male characters in dresses. And sure when they first did it there were huge male orcs in wedding dresses running around everywhere. But then most people got over it and now you don’t see them that often. Certainly no more than you see strange combinations in GW2.
I doubt this game could allow complete freedom, you couldn’t put something like the male Scallywag top (which is just a couple of straps) on a female character and retain the 12+ rating, but it would be nice if they allowed us more flexibility.
For one thing I really wanted to use the female heavy carapace shoulders (with the butterfly) on my asuran guardian, but instead she’s stuck with the male version which is just a couple of spikes.
Actually everything could be switched and keep the 12+ rating – what most people forget, all races wear underwear – in case you expose boobs, just blend in the underwear (maybe make you choose the underwear color)
I wonder about the development of sylvari technology? We all know asura and charr technology, but because sylvari are an as young species, there wasn’t much – but now is the time the first results should slowly show up.
We know that sylvari have no problem keeping up on an asura level of understanding complex technology. Therefore what happend with tjose second born that didn’t follow asura, charr or durmant studies but tried to learn from nature/plants?
They show a natural capacity of manipulating and altering plant life, an excellent start for science and the missing science category (asura, energy, radiation, technology; charr, everything that blows up; humans/norns???) If the understand how they do that they should be able to manipulate life itself – discovering the possibilitys of genetic! Combined with magic, this could become a great source of storys and new adventures!
And what matches better for sylvari as the science of life itself, genetics?
Or aren’t any sylvari known to do asura-independent research?
Not sure if OP is trolling or serious but… why breasts? That is so… SO creepy. Lore hints/implies Asura ears are where the attractiveness is at, in a way.
Ripped from the official GW1 wiki:
Oggy claims that Asura consider their ears to be of importance to show their worth; one of the reasons Florggi dislikes Oggy is because of his “teeny-tiny ears”.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Asura
Oggy is having trouble impressing girls, and can be found interacting with Jezza and Florggi. He will happily take a Red Iris Flower and Taro Leaves from you. The leaves, as he claims, are for him to wear to make his small ears look bigger.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Oggy
So according to this – Asura ear size in general are the ‘attraction’, not breasts. Not only would breasts on such short/small child-like characters look so wrong but it’s utterly disturbing and distasteful.
Not every female race in fantasy games has to have overly big sized knockers, sheesh.
This little Asura is not impressed by ears but by the size of the mecha-dragon you tried to build before the arcane council raided your lab.
I am impressed by the lack of security measures you failed to do if they where able to raid you…
I definitely don’t want anet to change the asuras body type, but it would be really nice to use more of the female versions of outfits.
( On a less related note, it would be awesome if you could switch between the different gendered outfits regardless of sex! )
Do you really want to see and fight with fat male norns fighting in “sexy” dresses?
I think they have the right to dress as they like. I’m sure I would use some masculine armor pieces to make some female characters even MORE sexy.
Good point, there are enough male chest free skins i would love to see on females, for that i won’t mind facing a male norn in a dress
I suggest you start the elite, press f5 just a millisecond before it is compleatly casted and now you can do 1-2 other things – that way i learned to double whatever i want no matter how much illusions are active…

Do you really want to see and fight with fat male norns fighting in “sexy” dresses?
Why where they playing (nearly) nude?
I agree, all mammalsin the game should get breasts! I wonder if my hillbill… eh i mean ranger has to search an tame female pets or if he just can decide the gender?
As a sylvari – no vegetarians allowed at the meatoberfest!!!!!!!!!!!
Also asymetrical faces would be nice – new styling kit for that, something that gives you the exact same sliders we already have but they work just on the half face! (That’s what me always stoped me from taking a human/norn main – their faces look like plastic dolls because they are way to symetrical!
A different color for mesmer butterflys! Blue/black/green i don’t care as long as i could get rid of those pink versions!!
I am relatively new to this game but i enjoy the festivals like halloween, wintersolance and chinese new year – but i noticed that all those festivals are held in human citys? Therefore does anyone know when the charr meat festival is?
And can i buy clothes tgat are made out of meat and a chicken wing glider?
(Also i am wondering about summersolance, will it be in a human location as well or celebrathing spirits with norns or the sun/nature in geberall with silvary?)
I just wanted to know, is it possible to fix the broken Caladbolg if you trow 4 of them into the mystical dumpster? Or has anyone tried it?
I wondered, since it seems to be common that sylvari fall in love with their own gender in the storyline – do they have a real gender? I mean they won’t need one since they won’t reproduce like a 2 gender species, since they are all brothers&sisters, born out of a tree?
(By the way, any information about the asura experiments on sylvari, where they able to breed a sylvari in a petry dish? I mean that#s an easy task with nearly all of our world plants)
How can i sell accound bound PvP Rabbit Reward Chest? I saw 3 in the market, therefore it must be possible, but how?
Is there a way that the game won’t force me all the time into stronghold? I won’t have a problem if it would be voted like all the other PvP’s but i have no choice, and i like my PvP PvE free…
