Guild Wars 2

-ATACKING NOTHING BREAKS STEALTH- patched
-double stolen items gm trait does not work on mesmer’s skill out of fight in forest map. Now iam sure that sometimes memser’s stolen item can not be used twice in some situations. It happaned to me twice today. Iam sure it is a bug
-minor traits dont work untill player goes into pve map- patched

Why mist form on mesmer prevents conditions dmg while thief in mist form can die frm them? Is it balance decision from developers?

I dont have Arah dungeon track unlocked in pvp even thou i finished story arah mode dung on the way to the end of gw2 story. Also Citadel of flame reward track is locked for me even thou i can run explorable mode. Hope it will be fixed.

Also it would be amazing if there was more info about what player can get for each reward track in specific, becouse now not many players know that dungeon tracks are most profitable due to great sword from chest and mixing them in mystic forge for precursors.

Why do you bother thinking about s/d?! Developers want all thiefs run d/p in stronghold so other specs are nerfed. kitten sd, Even now i gave up on s/d in roder to play d/p

Thank you for:
“PvP Daily Achievements that required players to win as a specific profession have now been changed to require winning as one of two professions.”
It made me consider to log into game not only for log in reward and decide to do some of them in the future. Thank u,

“Patching gw2 to DX12 would cost tons of money. I dont think it is worth to include this extra cost to heart of tons expansion.”

Master chief office

Most important question is: Will gw2 switch to dx10?
Iam no softwere doctor, but Witcher 3 will take only one patch to add dx10 option. I hope i dont have to mention huge benefits for performance in dx10.

How is this a 100g loss?

Crafting such item costs 100g.

Lost 100gold due to poor visual design of ascended arrmor box. I got choice of berserk armor but i have chosen wrong type of armor from the list. List was very long and not very clear which choice is medium armor. Ive chosen heavy amor which is useless for me.

I hope HoT expansion will develop different ascened armor box window of choice.

Water of Rhand is impossible to get due to mortar being bugged and not clickable. Player can not get into the water to gt item. plz fix asap.

Many can not get theur mawdry back item due to this kitten

aby1 from beta can elaborate on this mega important questin if it is worth to farm similar itmes on live servers?

Will tome of knowledge, writ of exp and similar items grant mastery progress in hot?

Recent gw2 news – https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/a-legendary-journey/- brings cool info about pve maps giving huge t6 mats gain in heart of the thorns.

Current pvp t6 mats gain is very low, will it be increased? Will pvp reward tracks be revamped so it is worth to save progress gain bags or pvp chests?

Karny kutas za brak nagród w dragon ball.

Big minus for no rewards in dragon ball game and very demanding daily system ub kubar.

Thank you for your responses. Espessially reds. Hope 2015 will be fruitfull. Can not wait for expansion.

yea, arenanet is trying to make system, while blizzard is doing it.
1. Blizzard does not allow 4 premades vs 2 soloquers.
2. Current gw2 dezert system puts 1 min ban on ranked, while blizzard give 20 min ban becouse player is forced to play full unranked game.
3. Ladder soon… while blizzard is done with it

Blizzard is developing heroes ofthe storm and has some good ideas about developing fair system. Some ideas can be transferred to gw2 pvp.

-MATCHMAKING
While you can queue for Hero League using a party of any size, the matchmaker will always prefer pitting parties of equal size against one another.

For example: Say that you queued for Hero League with two friends, and matched with two other allies who each queued alone. In this case, the matchmaker will attempt to match you against an enemy team consisting of a party of three, and two solo players.
The matchmaker will also search the Hero League queue in order to place you with and against players of similar skill. Hero League will use a matchmaking rating (MMR) that’s separate from your Quick Match rating. This is also an individual rating, meaning that it is unique to your own performance, and will not change based on different parties or players you buddy up with. Everyone will start their Hero League journey with a blank slate in terms of MMR, which may initially cause Hero League matchmaking to feel a little wild while the matchmaker learns more about each player’s individual skill level. The more Hero League games are played, the more accurate matchmaking will become.

GAME ABANDONMENT
We want ranked play in Heroes of the Storm to be a competitive and fun experience for players at all ranks and skill levels. Players who abandon games before they’re finished not only bring down team morale, but also hurt the competitive experience for all nine of the other players. For these reasons, we plan to implement a few penalties for game abandonment with our next patch.

Any player who leaves an in-progress Hero League or Quick Match game, and does not rejoin before it is finished, will be prevented from playing any ranked games until they complete a new Quick Match game. That player will also still earn or lose ranked points depending on the outcome of the match he or she left prematurely.
Any player who leaves a Hero League game during Draft Mode will lose a substantial amount of ranked points, become unable to play ranked games until completing a Quick Match game, and will also cause any players in his or her party to incur these penalties.

Need more info. Cpu maybe? or ram speed? maybe hard drive?

lags again in PVP RANKED ARENAS in Poland. Unplayable sadly

So many pages, no time to read so here my quick input.

Celestial eles are most popular becouse their natural predator- s/d thief – is very weak option.

Thief buff maybe?

This is happaning only becouse top’s players are solo quers whos lost games cost no ledder points becouse they face teamed players while they win occasionally so they gain and gain small amounts of points.

Today ive been another victim of this bad matchmaking system. After 6th arena game i was vs 2 (maybe more) teams pros from 55hp monks and they destroyed us wihout any effort. Its no fun@!

IT is most likely yo pc problem. When i bought new harddrive everything loaded so much faster. Also new cpu helped a lot. Maybe u have viruses or sth.

uboot.8715:

It doesnt matter you are from Poland since we are all connected to server in Frankfurt, Germany. Just change your internet access provider form some more reliable one because most of polish iap’s are kitten.

Mister Fluffkin.7358:

Same for germany, to all of my group…

Additionally skill effects are not shown sometimes. Mesmers timewarp, or engies freez nades i.e. They hit and work, but you cant see the effect/explosion in game. We asked in TS everytime the timewarp wasnt visible to someone and all others confirmed. If it was unvisible to one, it was unvinsible to all.
I don´t know if its due to the crazy lags last weeks or not, but it began at the same time.

This is a bug that can be fixed by changing your graphic settings. In ma case I lowered enviroment from high to medium and worked for me (before engi’s magnet etc. was invisible – tested with my fellow engi friend (not stealthed). Maybe something is bugging with your PC setup.

If 50% of players complain about lags i dont think it is “provider” problem. Maybe anet servers are not prepared for holidays traffic so lags occur

Lags again 30.12.2014 19.50 CET in Poland. high traffic. Probably weak servers.

c’mon, am I the only one with lags from Poland?

lags again. not my net. other games ok

Terrible lags there are in EU in arenas. Not in practice mode, but arenas. Unplayable for me.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

More free money for TCG and Abjured. Why is the moeny only for 1st and second? And 400 for 1st and 100 for second? There should be 300 /150 / 50 or something like that.

Today we witnessed terrible disater which was mass ds from players. Not taking closer look into details, whose foult it was, i must say there is rather simple solution and even upgrade for the game oportunity.

Reserve players. Idea is to each team have at least one reserve player so when one active player disconnets, reserve player can come right into action. Bigger reserve than one player is possible. Admin or team manager could activate reserve player.

Reserve system could be an oportunity to exchange player when active player is killed. This would be similar to hockey or football. Extra excitement comming from element of surpise would be quite big.

Sizer farms every thief on EU, the only reason Levin killed sizer its because he was sitting in stealth forever and waiting to get that spike off.

And those 2 thieves never dueled, it was just the D/P trying to gank sizer while he is in a team fight. Sizer would 100-0 Levin in a actual 1v1.

What i meant was not actual duel between Sizer and Red Levon but clash of two of them in seperate teams. Red Levon performance was more meaningfull becouse he was able to insta down players while Sizer did steady but only moderete dmg which resulted in not so many downs compered to Levon’s.

Azure.8670:

can someone link the tournament video?

http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/profile/past_broadcasts

Today TCG vs MiM fought in European World Tournament Series for eu champion title.

Final score was decided by the result of the duel of thieves: Sizer (s/d) vs Red Levon (d/p). It was very clear that d/p destroyed s/d in open maps (Legacy of the Foefire), while s/d was dominant on walled map (khylo). Overall i would give rather big advantage to d/p becouse of the bigger burst and better dmg avoidence due to long stealth.

freez alike lag kicked to char select window

I use elite venom on s/d pvp thief.

Tao.5096:

this thread is 10/10 Legit.

NO troll bro. I win almost every game. 80% winrate 15% 4/5 loss 5% standart loses.

Hello fellow nephalems!
Here is my experience from last week of playing after long break. I played thief for 5 years, but after getting my as kicked in first 3 days (35% winratio) i decided to switch to necro. I know at least 7 days are needed to come back in shape, but i decided there is no point increasing a little bit my winratio in this way. Why increase winratio to 60% if i can increase to 80% much easier way?

Reason i switched is simple. I got nuked several times by necro with 10k hits. After little bit of reaserch i found out power necro is statisctical anomaly. Mathematicly speaking necro dmg is out of charts. In game we can see it by one shotting other players with 10k nukes in lich form or shroud. Iam no expert but i win tons of games. More games i play more i like this class.

thief is dog poop right now. Patch made me switch from 5 year exp thief into necro. I skyrocket from 50% winratio into 80%. Necro EASY WIN! Imagine what i ll be able to achive when i learn a lot.

1. EVENT star on the map in pvp game is on uppaer layer so player icon is not visible on the map if player stands on central point. Who needs event star on the map in pvp game?!
2. Ricochet thief trait takes as many venom stacks as there are bounces, which makes devs efforts to make it viable -0
3. “Pain response” is 3X more effective than gm trait “assassins reward” mathematicly speaking
4. Still no match history

-[idea] PvP match history
- way to distinguish players- at least visible pvp (exp) rank or mmr- ranking
another must have in pvp

Very good ideas:
1. hot join as solo que with hidden mmr
2. Impoved spectator- free camera instead of fixed points of view.

I see major flaw in current design of rewards in pvp. When one track is finished, points which were not needed to finish track are lost forver. They are not transfered to the next track.

example in picture. I should have got 1000 points for solo win, but i got only 800 to finish track. I can imagine situaltion when player lost tons of rewards becouse of that, even 10% of all rewards.

Underwolrd is red since the begining of 2013. Always last. Always weakest server. When will we get free transfer?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/balance/pvp-Bird-rune-op-engieneers-op/first#post4181414

For sword dagger thief strength runes are better, but bird rune is very strong for warriors and engies is what i can say.

When can i expect free wolrd transfer from dead server?

My choice of server at the begining proved to be very bad. When will i be able to transfer for free?

whirlwind from smoke has beed fixed by patches long ago

Crazy lag in pve and pvp. What is goin on? PvP is unplayable for me. Pve maybe, but lag is unbareable

EU

linkk full build plz for turrent engie and bird engie

Player was able to stay stealthed al the time with dager/pistol and trait line, but it was nerfed. Currently thief can stay permanently stealthed using utility skills.

Sometimes u can stay stealthed almost all the time if u time your “cloack and dagger” skill when u bacome visible. MIght be usefull in WvW.
