Skyhammer in 5th place?

in PvP

Posted by: Xista.7391

Xista.7391

Just because a vocal subset of players hate it and posts on the forums continually doesn’t mean that the general population dislikes it.

The majority of the population that likes this map are those who hot-join or play some sort of knock-back professions. It really is a good feeling to the casual player to go up to someone and instantly kill them.

Anyone who takes PvP somewhat seriously will realize that this does not have a place in a competitive queue. The profession imbalance is 100x that of other maps.

They’re both unbalanced.

The reason why people don’t complain about Capricorn though is because it wasn’t in SoloQ.

I think both maps have a place in hotjoin. At least a drain-water version of Capricorn.

They really need to push out seasons, or other forms of incentives for team queues. Get the already low PvP population to form teams and get better at PvP. Only then will these tournaments be worth watching with at least some form of competition outside of the top 4/8.

Please, no more Seasons

in WvW

Posted by: Xista.7391

Xista.7391

I haven’t played WvW much at all since the alliance between JQ and TC.

Every week we would avoid the other server just to gang up on BG, completely ignoring the other server. This made it extremely boring for me.

The sad thing is… the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is 50 token increments. I’d rather come 3rd in the tournament and have good fights… rather than a 2v1 where we only fight one server and achieve 1st place.

Please, please remove seasons. Make weekly matchups more rewarding. Perhaps weekly achievements (if they can be implemented properly) and the servers get 50, 40, 30 tokens based on how they do?

I want good fights. I want an incentive to win. I don’t want the massive imbalances and burnout that seasons bring.

2v1 is destroying the victim server

in WvW

Posted by: Xista.7391

Xista.7391

Most of these posts are hilarious.

It’s not cheating. It’s not exploiting.

“JQ if you don’t push into TC right now, I’m going to report you for cheating!”

The game is 1v1v1. Three teams allows several teams to gang up on the larger server so no one can rule everything.

That being said. I hate it. I understand why it’s happening, but it’s going to the extreme now. A 2v1 for 9 weeks straight against 1 server is annoying. I only get half the amount of fights. Less people are queueing now too.

Tournaments should be done away with. There should be better rewards for doing well within your tier. 2v1s should happen at the tail end of the week to make a final push for first place. This doesn’t happen though because PPT is meaningless.

And what of all those character slots we purchased for the sole intention of pvp’ing? Multiple characters of the same profession that we need to unlock traits and level?

I can’t really add anything more to what has already been said, but feel free to continue posting feedback in one of the threads regarding character-bound unlocks. We are listening.

Translation vent until you eventually realise it is futile and cough up them gems

I’m considering deleting my level 80 Norn warrior, because I PvP on an Asuran alt. By the time I’m done getting the traits on the Asuran, he’ll be level 80. Not point having two warriors at max level. Plus I need the extra character slot….

“You can play from level 1, you only need chest, legs, and boots as they are the only gear that count toward armor rating.”

What happened to “You can jump in and do PVP right away as soon as you finished the tutorial”?

What was the point in merging PvE and PvP like this?

I don’t follow what you mean. You will only be missing some cosmetic only gear, this should not be a barrier to entry in any way.

You’re slowly taking away items that were once accessible to all in PvP and gating them behind barriers. Cosmetic gear slots, traits, skills, amulets etc…. People want everything to be unlocked upon entering the mists. That’s why they’re upset.

I think it’s a great move, but does have it’s cons. I’ve become obsessive, trying to complete every single daily each day. Often times I wouldn’t have time to enjoy the living world content. Now, I won’t feel bad for missing a few achievement points a day.

The bad: so we’re going to stop progressing when we reach 10k dailies? What about after that…? IMO either put daily cap on achievement points (5 in PvE, 4 in PvP), or have the “experience bar” system like you do in PvE, and soon in PvP, where you’ll get rewards every time you level up. IE 100 AP = X reward at the 10k mark.

Grouch can you give a vague idea of who will be future dragons (60, 70+)??!?
ALSO with the change to jewels, will I still be able to run soldier zerker, or carrior rabid or whatever?

Everyone in the upper mid 50’s and up will become a Dragon!

For most players this will make attaining the rank of dragon a realistic goal and for a very small percentage of players,

A small percentage of players? The majority of the time as a rank 40, I’m pitted against rank 50+ in soloQ’s, often being the lowest rank in the game. This is definitely not a goal for a “small percentage of players”. Dragons will be everywhere.

Upper 60s sounds like a more reasonable number. Achievable by people that play for ~1.5 years (not that bad for the most prestigious item currently in PvP)

The Wardrobe and PvP

Posted by: Xista.7391

Xista.7391

The more that I think about this, the more questions come up.

Will I be in my PvE or PvP gear when I enter the mists? Will the PvP locker remain? If not, will I have to lug around every single PvP weapon that I use in my inventory? Will I have to transmute skins to the free PvP base weapons?

The way that I HOPE this works is your PvP locker is still there. But if you wanted to use a skin that’s only obtainable in PvE, you’ll have to transmute it onto your PvP gear.

I don’t get why there are people mad about this change. If you wanted to change your appearance in game, you’d have to buy transmutation stones and make several pieces of gear into one. With the wardrobe, you can now collect infinite-use skins, and use them on your gear for the same transmutation charges (just a new name). No more “throwing away gear”.

The only bad thing about this change are people who bought multiple skins either in-game, or on the gem-store. While some compensations may be deserving here, I think the wardrobe feature will be widely appreciated by everyone in-game.

I would hope the PvP lockers are turned into Wardrobes as well. If they try to monetize you changing skins in PvP… they’re going to kill off the playerbase even more.

Hmm wonder if it will be possible to transmute light armor looks onto a heavy armor character. Don’t think it mentions any restrictions to the system other than it costing charges.

You can’t.
