Guild Wars 2

Rezz.8019:

<-R13 HA in GW1, champ range gvg, never used voice chat. I definitely don’t need it in this cookie cutter game. I am strongly against it, simply because it will be harder for me to control teams no one should be allowed to talk in my teams.

And yes that’s my own selfish point of view.

You never used voice chat? o.0 In gw1?

You got carried? :p

I can’t believe you needed to type down everything. Don’t say you just all felt what to do, ’cus that aint true. :p

I mean in GW2 it works, you just write down the strat in the beginning. Everyone focusses on their job and voila.

But in GW1? Without voice chat? o.0

Make it so:

Swapping weapons makes you lose minions/clones, buffs even.

Greyed out skills until timer begins to run.

Utilities stay locked entire game.

Teamplay is important, but an increase in individual skill wouldn’t be wrong.

And add temple of the storm to tpvp! I Like that one.

Hey,

I’m playing on Desolation as a necro. I’m only r14, without any QP’s. So if you think that makes my opinion worthless, don’t read on.

I was thinking about weapon swapping again and how it got removed from tpvp. While at first I was pro the change, I’m actually not sure if it was really that good for the game.

Why I supported the change?

It was never a part of the gameplay. They said before they were gonna change it and you had to do it in your inventory. So it was clearly not ‘meant to be’. And it sounded fair. You play with the build you have for the entire match. Sounds normal.

Why I changed my mind now?

The individual skill ceiling isn’t that high atm. Maybe it’s because I’m a necro but I can say, even though I’m only r14 through free’s, I know my build/playstyle.

The only way to improve and win more atm is get a steady team who all mastered their class and get on teamspeak. Ofcourse it sounds easier than it is, but it is the basic.

Solo queu’ing sucks in this state. Why?

Team comp/strat is way way more important than individual skill.
If I solo free’s and I get with people who don’t talk and just do their own thing, it’s in 80% of the cases a loss.

Should individual skill>team skill?

No, ofcourse not. That’s impossible. But it’s a too big difference between the two atm. They should be a bit closer to each other.

How to change?

Bring back weapon swapping. But make it part of the game. Pve and pvp-wise. Make a little UI thingy above the skills or something like that. Make it easy to swap weapons out of combat. Only out of combat ofcourse, otherwise this becomes WoW with too many skills/choices and it gets too overwhelming.

Why didn’t people use it that much?
It was too obnoxious. Playing with your inventory open and clicking those weapons suck (Experienced this in GW1 gvg). And most people didn’t bother with it ‘cus of that. It only happened by ’pro’ teams.

Make it part of the actual game. So people actually see its possible/viable. People in pve wouldn’t care about, instead they might even like it too. It doesn’t bother them. What it does for the pvp, is increase the individual skill ceiling a bit more.

I hope it was little bit clear. English isn’t my main language.

Your toughts?

Want to win free tourns regardless of teamcomp? 1. Teamspeak and people who listen. 2. Individual skill

Thats my take on it.

We can keep whining about features…They’ve said time and time before they’re coming. They can’t release those in one week. It should have been in-game before release but this clearly wasn’t the case, so we’ll just have to wait.

Lets hope we get a blogpost this week.

Anyway, don’t get your hopes up for january. Colin said in another thread Jan will be rather small. So it’ll be febr/march.

^ WTB rank 30! Would make things a lot easier!

r14 necro on desolation (EU) looking for expanding his tpvp-friendlist!

Able to communicate! (—> English even).

No QP’s as of yet. People like to stare at my rank.

Free’s are doing good though atm (alteast in EU). So they either have to change one of those two formats (rewardwise, MMR, only one format, etc…)

I’m rank 13 and I’ve been doing tpvp since r11 without a solid team. First I solo queud but I still kept trying to get into teams. And eventually some teams pick you up. These days it doesn’t take me longer than 15min.

As the community is rather small and you’re a low rank you have to perform better or in most cases it’s a kick soon after. :p So if you’re sure about your individual ‘skill’ you should try and get into groups. (No need to be pro ofc, which is impossible by just doing spvp, understanding your role/class is allready good enough)

Communicating is also a must. It shows that you’re listening and you’re willing to learn.

Eventually you get to know people to do tournies with, etc.
One problem: Once you’ve done it with a decent team, you’ll never wanna do spvp/solo queu :p.

I assume this is NA?

Because the dev couldn’t make it? Dunno, there’ll be a reason for it..

We can whine all we want. We have to wait for the next patch to hit. We know some features are coming. Now only hope the implementation is good. :p

I don’t think this will be possible. ‘Cus it’s based on different server locations. Or it might be possible, I don’t know anything ’bout that stuff. :p

OneArmedBandit.7936:

+1

Was playing paid pugs for the past 1.5 hours and got teamed up against Super Squad lads three times in a row, which obviously left us with gaping buttholes and shattered dreams. QQ

Offtopic: Hurr Durrr. You elitist. Making mom-jokes in HoM. :p Remember me? (the r11 desperately looking for groups :p).

Anyway, on-topic!

Great idea, I’d like to do paids sometime. And the gems as a reward are very attractive.

It’s a bug. They’re working on improving the whole preview system.

^They’ve said they moved MMR/rating and such up on their to-do list. So it should launch before custom arenas. And balance is something we see every month.

They said they’re working on improving the ‘stattrackers’. When they’ll launch that feature we’ll have much more info on how we’re doing and what we should work on.

I’d say wait until january 3. New year/christmas holidays will be done by then and in-game wintersday will be done. They’ll probably give an update around that date.

Np if it’s sooner though. :p

Matchmaking/rating and custom arena’s are on their way.

Bugs will be fixed, new bugs will appear. That’s how it always goes.

Every month there’s a bit of balancing and bug fixes.

Downed-state/rezzing is a valid part of the tactical game. Which imo leads to fun/tense situations.

I think after new year we’ll be getting some updates on the upcoming patches.

2 months max I think.

Spectator isnt as much needed as rating/custom arenas,etc.

They are working on auto-loot but have said before that it’s technically very hard.

Let ’em fix culling first, would be nice allready.

They have said time and time before january/february will contain pvp-updates (thats WvW and spvp). We just have to wait and see what they come up with.

Hopefully we’ll have ratins/MMR and custom arenas and another 2 batches of balance by the time it’s february.

Didn’t recieve one too. Did the whole event though, DC’d at endphase when rezzing at a waypoint and getting stuck. (Using mac version, on EU desolation)

Still got no answer on this. Any idea?

Hello,

I’ve purchased GW2 during the free trial weekend after being referred. I didn’t do the ingame upgrade but bought a physcial copy. I didn’t recieve the booster nor did I get the HoM token.

I’ve allready sent a support ticket but didn’t recieve an answer yet.

Thanks for helping!

Same happened to me on desolation.

Ye, I crashed too. Cant get back in either.
