Guild Wars 2

Go have some fun in Tpvp. Problem solved.

Any reason why this was made sellable?

Could I suggest a reward CDI? Reward tracks are a good foundation with great possibilities. But we need to talk about it before you implement ladders/seasons.

First finisher I’ll do everything for to buy it. ^^

Exclusive skins (weapons, armor, etc) for pve, pvp and wvw.

All is fair in love and war.

If they limit TDM to 2v2 and 3v3, then I wouldn’t mind it. 5v5 is too zergy and keep that for conquest.

So… you can’t stomp for 10s or what? I haven’t encountered it yet.

It’s both sides that are toxic, the only side that can relieve some of the issues is Anet. And yes, the players themselves too but don’t hope for that.

I am of the mind that the Fractal Skins should stay exclusive to Fractals as the PvP skins are all going to be exclusive to PvP.

To be fair right now the exclusive PvP skins are tradable, and thus they aren’t really exclusive to PvP.

Again, I don’t know if it’s intended. If they plan on making more pvp exclusives they better make it not sellable.

While it might seem fun now, you have to know that the moment they put it in Tpvp it can change the entire experience. Until they put in there, there’s no way of testing it thoroughly.

^ I have to agree that it’s not only coming from the pvp-side. I’ve seen pve-heroes assuming things, which are completely not true, but yet resorting to some next gen flaming.

^ Replace with? I wouldn’t want to pop in a match where they’re going 400-50 and get stomped for 1 more minute.

+ mystic forge. My inventory is clogging up with all the rares and I want to MF those. ^^

I’d rather have new skins then fractal skins. Give the pve, wvw and competitive pvp crowd some exclusive skins and fluff.

Can’t be really judged until they put it in the Tpvp rotation.

Conquest has many nuances, way to complex to explain before a game, let alone mid-game. There needs to be better guidance. And ofcourse, hotjoin learned some bad habits too.

^ About those mists NPC’s, anyone noticed they hit like a truck now? :p

Got it too. Not all the time, but especially prime time its bad.

^ Resource-issue?

I don’t want them to take this too far. As it hurts the PVE exclusivity and thus will hinder pvp exclusivity in the future. Or atleast it would cause a kittenton of QQ if we’d ever get any.

We could use a reward CDI asap.

They can add fractals to the reward tracks, to cover all ‘pve’ bases. But then they should focus on pvp exclusive skins.

The only thing that bothers me is is the discrepancy between influx of gemstore armor compared to ingame armor. It leaves me little hope that we’ll get more than the occasional pvp ‘exclusive’ backpack.

Can we have a CDI about pvp rewards, please?
The implementation is as important as the leagues/seasons.

I hope they won’t do that with every pvp exclusive reward in the future. Don’t make it sellable.

Extreme rubberbanding at times too.

Going forward:

TL;DR: Can we expect exclusive pvp ‘stuff’ that is skill-gated? (legendaries, armor sets, etc.)

We’ll eventually have ladders/seasons. Regardless of implementation, will you consider, as we have this beautiful system of reward tracks now, putting these in the ladders?

For example (just to show the concept): Three leagues (bronze, silver, gold) with a low barrier of entry into bronze.

Why this barrier to bronze? People have reported pve’ers afking Tpvp matches to avoid the hotjoin reward lock and making it a quicker match. People should also have some experience in pvp so you don’t throw them to the wolves.

I would love to see several reward tracks PER league but I realize that won’t happen. Most of the new armors in-game are being put in the gemstore so I have little faith that we’ll get lots of pvp exclusive options.

You could do one or two per league. When you progress to silver you keep the ones from bronze unlocked and you’ll unlock the ones of silver. The same for gold, etc.
Only playing in those leagues will progress the reward track.

I would also suggest to find a better balance between the loss and win-rewards. This again would add more incentive to actually try and win, etc. You can’t overdo it ofcourse, it’s about finding the right spot.

You can tie in titles, finishers and whatnot for the top players of each league, etc.

This way you create a competitive infrastructure that’s rewarding and skill-gated. It creates incentive to win, get better, etc. Everyone playing leagues will also get rewarded for their time.

It will also cause a kittenton of QQ from pve’ers, wvw’ers and hotjoinheroes. But w/e, show us some love please. Give pve’ers and wvw’ers some exclusive’s too then, I’d say.

My biggest fear is the focus on gemstore and thus hindering armor/legendary/exotic creation thats achievable ingame + the ‘casual’ mentality that everyone should be able to get the same stuff, etc.

What do you guys and Anet think?

They should have used glory a la balthazar faction (gw1). Gold is a too common currency and used for too many different things. It also happens to be a currency we haven’t had the chance to amass as pvp’ers.

So ye, I got 10g left. :p Could have been taken care of better, but w/e we’ll survive.

The things I’ve seen in-game, on this forum post-patch…. M i n d b l o w i n g

Faith in humanity has decreased a tad.

I think it’s more of an issue that every single new armor set is in the gemstore, imo. This leaves me little hope that we’ll get pvp exclusive armor sets and legendaries.

^ Maybe the early excitement everyone had in combination with the influx of newbies. :p

You can buy em at the weaponsmith in HOTM.

Almost like WvW? :/

^ go to WvW then.

The krait rune? Some nice extra pressure.

To QQ obviously.

You learn the wrong things in hotjoin, especially in 8v8. It hurts a little now after all that time but you’ll get used to it.

3) you can clearly see that they’re planning it. It’s just phase 1. I bet you we’ll have it by august when the new feature pack comes around.

I hope Anet can filter out the pve-goes pvp feedback. The limit on hotjoin is good, it might be some incentive to try out arena’s for once.

We can expect those in the next feature pack probably. So I’d guess in August.

Play tpvp. It’ll solve your problems. Might even become more fun than hotjoin.

I know a lot of people are upset with some of the changes, but try and understand the reasons from the developer point of view and allow for some things to be readjusted as necessary.

some of the changes that people aren’t liking will possibly be further tweaked with hotfixes, just give it time.

The best you all can do is provide calm and detailed feedback like some have already been doing. It is possible that they had overlooked some things and all of you will do a better job at finding the issues than a small team would be able to.

Feedback:

Anet nerfed my characters into the dirt today by taking away almost all Traits my characters had earned. I am not a good enough Player to reach level 80. That’s right, I am not good enough at this game… but I love parts of GW2 enough that I had kept the game installed so I could return one day.
Well today I log in and my highest character, lvl 51 ELE has four traits out of the over 15 he used to have. FOUR. I was having a hard enough time as it is.

Anet doesn’t want People like me playing their MMO. Anet must want the Players that can breeze through leveling content to 80, which I admit I have had a hard time doing. Without those traits, and the benefits I each of my characters got from them, the game is now beyond my abilities.

These changes were great for the gazillion lvl 80s, but not good for Players that have a hard time with this game. Anet decided whom their preferred customers are and I am not on the list.

I am not rage quitting, I just realize I don’t belong here and there is no sense in holding out hope I might play GW2 again.

Feedback Given. Resigned from Guild. All Characters deleted. Game Uninstalled.

Unless i’m missing something. But you can do the same with those 4 traits as you could with those 15 traits… It even helps you as there’s less chance making dumb mistakes.

Good and overall logic choices.

+ mystic forge.

But /signed

Edit: Oh and pvp exclusives asap with those ladders and seasons tied in. I look like a scrub compared to the pve-heroes.

Hambow isn’t that great anymore. Ele is back. My necro is still viable.

Be a man, go queue up. It’s fun.

Go to Tpvp (= arena’s, = soloq/teamq).

Reward progression is capped by 2 tiers in Hotjoin.

Read my second sentence.

Nope… The blue… It’s just weird.

They move to teamqueue.

Well balthazar faction is a currency, gold is a currency. It’s pretty much the same.

But I agree, gold is used for so many things they should have given us a separate currency for those unlocks.

I had 200 glory boosters.

And thousands of pvp materials, tokens, etc.

There’s been worse issues. Deal with it.

edit: It’s not like you bought those keys in the hope of getting boosters…
