Let’s assume anyone absent from a match for ‘x’ minutes is considered a disconnect and given dishonor regardless of whether they return. What happens to the 9 other people? Are they forced to play out the rest of the match? Should their ratings be adjust still? What about rewards?
Unfortunately, you have to make their ratings still adjust, or having someone eat the dishonor to force a 4v5 when a match is going badly would become meta.
That being said, if a match starts and remains 4v5, then you could make it so scores aren’t counted.
So then people who invested time into the match get absolutely nothing? I think the way it is now is fine.
There’s a post in there by Behellagh that has links to multiple threads about this topic. The China TP is separated from ours. (And a good thing too, since the inflation on there is apparently crazy. Twilight on the China TP apparently costs 5000g. Ours costs just 3000g.)
That was beta, not official game. once it launches… There’s still no official word?
http://www.goldwars2.com Find flippable items, Put buy offer, Flip for profit. People get their item sold quickly at a half-way decent price, and I put the item as buy cheaper than everyone else currently listing thereby causing new buyers who want it quick to have access to it at a reduced convenient price. win win.
Right now the item to flip is Superior Rune of the Ranger; buy offer 1g 5s 59c, sells for 1g 47s 69c, taking into account the 15% reduction you make 20s~ on each transaction.
(though if you want the most bang for your buck, check out recipe: strawberry ghost or rugged string.)
Like I said: Rotating the boxes solves this issue, you would earn 3 armor pieces per weapon instead of the opposite, which is far more logical as you need less weapons than armorpieces.
So… I’ve been stuck since patch day. Do I get a free precursor for this? Lol
Nothing resets and it made me realize on how much time gated content there is in this game for rewards, which is nearly everything.
yeah this is ridiculous, I can’t believe it’s not top priority to fix… it’s taken so long and they fixed things I’ve never even seen people complain about; and then there’s this.
I think it is top priority. But keep in mind, that it is easter and the devs are at home with their familys and for most people the problem started at friday, only a few (including me) reported this bug already on thursday/wednesday. I guess, when easter is over, it will get fixed asap.
It started the DAY OF the patch, when the dailies reset FOR the patch, they were already X/5 completed. and dailies weren’t reset.

For the Love of God, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE, DUNGEON PATHS AREN’T RESETTING, FRACTALS AREN’T RESETTING, DAILIES AREN’T RESETTING, SPVP COIN COUNTS AREN’T RESETTING, WORLD BOSSES NOT RESETTING, SPVP reward track in custom/hotjoin games ARE NOT RESETTING, Nothing on daily timer is resetting and it’s really aggrivating..
NOT EVEN GUILD MISSIONS ARE RESETTTTTIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
Don’t like any of these. If the game already started, I still want reward track/pvp rank progress @ the end of the match, I don’t mind if it’s 4v5, just makes game quicker.
You would still get that for matches where abandonment doesn’t occur at the beginning. Additionally, arenas are a ranked game mode and leaderboards/MMR are important. Rewards are secondary incentives. 4v5 matches are detrimental to leaderboards and MMR.
So you’re saying that people with dishonored buff would be able to join ranked games and not gain any rewards?
They would just afk through the game to get rid of dishonored.
That’s why I said removing stacks would require it to be a game of the length that earns full rewards (current cutoff is seven minutes), so they can’t intentionally make games short to remove stacks.
Additionally, Anet needs a system for dealing with AFK players anyway, preferably one that ties into Dishonorable so that AFK players not only couldn’t remove Dishonorable via AFKing, but also receive additional punishment for attempting to do so.
idk about you, but rewards are my primary incentive for pvp. and now that they’re at a decent level I choose to do spvp over pve content.

MF works great. If Vol comes around he can show you the numbers.
Remember MF does NOT affect chests. You can not use MF in dungeons because you literally only kill like 4 things in dungeons. MF only affects PvP loot boxes and open world drops. If you farm an event with 100+ mobs with 0% MF and then again with 500% MF you will notice the difference.
on the wiki it says sPvP loot boxes are NOT affected by Magic Find, where did you see that they were?

Silly little bug, but if you’re in boar form and you use special attack(2) on someone not in combat stance; you’ll hit them, it’ll say immune twice and they’ll switch into combat. It’s not really reliable and you might need to find a large group of people to try it on before it works on someone, but if it works on someone, then you can keep doing it to that person.
Since it’s all a set schedule now, can you display this schedule in game? perhaps add a new section to dailies in achievements to show the world bosses and what one is up at that time and the times they appear and have them check off as you beat them? :P
Maybe i’m being a bit too optimistic, but I think having this information available in game as well as a checklist that you did them would be really beneficial… as it is gw2stuff is now practically broken, and people who really want the info (which is just about everyone on the world boss zerg) has the schedule open in another window looking back and forth… this would save us all time and be very convenient as well as eliminating the need for third party sites for this reason (of which there are a TON, and I’m surprised this has never been implemented in some way…)
Please for the love of god, put a rank limit on ranked solo queue. No ranked queues before rank 30.
Remove hotjoin, or make the rewards even smaller.
Add a casual unranked queue which you can play in solo or with a party but uses a hidden MMR.
doesn’t ranked play already use a hidden MMR? and you’re matched with ppl near your mmr anyways, if you’re getting a ton of baddies, it’s because your mmr is supposividely low.
stuck at 46% on arah, can not progress on any path now, since the %age is so variable I do not think there is a cap of any kind and this is a bug… ugh.
After a full pvp match and gaining 460 rank points, the reward track did not progress like normal; is there a cap on reward track points per day maybe?
It’s almost noon here…
sucks to be in Europe right now :/
These topics happen every patch day. I don’t understand it. You guys know Anet is based in the western US, this should be nothing new.
According to the said ANet, one of them posted the exact time when the patch should go live, and that time passed ~20 minutes ago.
No anet employee posted when it should go live; if they did, provide a quote.
HOWEVER, The window for getting the 5 transmutation charges gets smaller every minute, and in 4 hours, you risk having timezones without any ability to get them whatsoever because they’ll be asleep/at work/etc.
what? no matter what time the patch goes live today, the window to get your stones will be minimum 24 hours.
no; the time to get the charges was stated to end on april 16.
and you don’t think that it’s exploiting to transmute the stats onto something else in order to salvage it to get a rune that would otherwise be unobtainable?

I wish I bought the game as a box copy, rather than digital sometimes. I’d love to look at it and just be like, “ahh, guild wars 2”
if it wasn’t for digital distribution method, my whole house would look like my room did in my last house; I for one am glad nearly all games nowaday allow for digital distribution, I had absolutely no space with over 1000 console games, haha.
It is not. as I stated before, you use 3 laurels to get 3 obsidian shards, 1 obsidian shard = 1/4 a clover, the minimum a clover should be is 4 laurels.
