Can’t use FGS underwater boooooo.
They should just add OE’s (and all the r70-71s, all 6 of u :P) thingy rank points retroactively and give him the chests per level limited once per day like the old WvW chest bonus thing was added the second time around (first wvw levels had no chests then they added it in).
So for every level after 80 that OE gets he will get 2 chests until he burns out his ‘current rank points’ then he goes back to 1.
No economy collapse yes?
People still play solo queue?
28.1k sold
82.1k bought
I’m not really a tp trader though haha
This is great news!
Grouch #1
I got killed in OS and I brought more people and killed them back… part of the gameeee don’t hate.
If you’re inclined the get the achievement wait a few weeks until the initial rush dies down and it should be relatively safe to do the JP.
Really happy with this change. No longer do I have to suffer through 5 solo q wins every day just to keep up with other AP farmers…
Grouch and powerr are both pretty good players and I’ve played vs them before when they were with the likes of Ostricheggz. Definitely top 1000 NA material (not that the bar is very high).
I think I also met powerr in solo q before where he wasn’t too happy with the bunkery bunker bunker compo our solo q team had when he was on his mesmer (yes they play something that isn’t hambow or decap engy).
Having said that though, it would sure help if there were more devs that were dedicated to just playing the game and relaying feedback constantly.
I think the problem with decap engineer in general is the insane survivability by combining several key traits. By changing some of the traits around to make them less bunkery they would be killable much easier since most decap engineers sacrifice a lot of defensive stuff like Toolkit to decap.
In addition to AR, the protection on crit and reduction to damage when stunned and so on all stack and creates a situation where an engineer can have 25% hp yet be tankier than a warrior. Perhaps moving some traits to Grandmaster level would alleviate some of this? Or maybe increasing the ICD of the protection on crit trait?
I disagree with making points bigger simply because a bunker banner warrior would be the new ‘decap engy’ if every point was like the center of foefire.
I don’t see a problem with giving out a legendary to the best 5 pvpers.
Realistically a legendary is only 2-3000g and considering how long PvPers have played with almost no monetary reward I think it’s not that bad to give FIVE (not everyone!) players a nice reward.
I would also be happy to watch top pvp players smash the living daylights out of those ‘wvw roamers’ and ‘gee v gee’ types if they even attempt to try and play pvp
For the record I PvE, WvW and PvP.
New players should have ‘even footing’ in PvP. Unlocking traits and stuff is not equal and leads to imbalance which makes it even worse to be on a team with new players than it already is.
Unlocking PvP exclusive rewards/skins should be what horizontal progression is not unlocking traits.
I did not think it was possible for ANet to screw up any further than they already have but they’ve done it again.
I got 6 rares and 48 Heavy Moldy bags for spending 15 minutes in Orr doing one particular event chain. You just need to know what to do to make money in PvE.
You want an example of not very rewarding? Look at PvP.
It doesn’t count.
I did Sanctum Sprint to death during the Bazaar when it came out to get all the AP so having to spend any extra time in there goes against my idea of fun.
I only do it for the daily and that’s that.
Same with Crab Toss. They STILL haven’t fixed the fact that Mango pies work in there among other bugs like dual crabs spawning.
Southsun Survival, still haven’t fixed the spawn bug where you can move before you get immobilized and sometimes you get immobilized after the game starts so gg you.
So between the bugs and the oh my god I’m so bored of these activities that’s why I don’t like them.
On my main character I got around 10k gold in soulbounded assets (legendaries etc).
I don’t keep spreadsheets like some of the people so no idea how much liquid assets I got.
Elina Juru decap-sensei <3
Not to mention if you die and respawn you get stuck in a load screen and can’t view the scoreboard.l
Just because you had no use for it didn’t mean the rest of us didn’t…
I was pretty happy with the leveling tomes, cheap 18 slot bags and dyes I could make.
just doing dailies and logging off so hotjoin and pve/wvw
It’ll be fixed Soon™.
Solo and team queue are pretty dead from what I see. Couldn’t find anyone willing to play team due to lack of rewards so I didn’t even bother doing the tourney dailies.
The hotjoin rooms however were bustling with people trying to grind ranks (i think?). Not really sure but the 500 rank points / win feels a lot for the relatively little effort required.
I am going to guess that once the hotjoin guys get past rank 20-30 they will get bored and realize it is a ‘chore’ to grind any further and go back to PvE (that or they realize the loot sucks and leave).
I spoke with a few friends who said that they weren’t really impressed getting oranges and t2 mats from a rank chest and that they won’t be going back (they were new to PvP).
Overall it looks pretty grim and fail but I’m sure it’ll be alright Soon™.
Soon™
Soon™
Well it fixed itself after I went into a game and got a few rank points… so meh
At least it used to feel somewhat rewarding when I could buy tomes and 18 slot bags and make dyes.
If it wasn’t for the daily AP i would never step foot in a single tourney match.
did they started deleting stuff from pvp? for example…reward from winning pvp tournaments?!?!?!
2nd tournamnet victory today and no reward when i come back to the mists ….no chest (not that care that much) and NO pvp xp points
anyone more having this problem?! did they have “ninja” patched anything in pvp during i was sleep or what?!
That is most likely a bug where you transferred NA <→ EU servers and you don’t get the rewards.
Sunrise counts as 1. Twilight counts as 1. Eternity counts as 1.
Thus you can get 3/5 just with eternity if you soulbind them before forging to eternity.
But those rich iron ore node regroups are the best.
People need to swap when they see 3 thieves on the team but there’s too many selfish Caed wannabes that don’t swap off their thief because they want to ‘farm’ their Champion Shadow.
Itd be nice if the skins were sellable like the mini. I got the Teq hoard after doing teq only 10 times or less yet others have done 50+ and not gotten a single unique drop :S
I was gonna post a long-winded rant but … no.
I’m just gonna say this, if you want to keep what’s left of the dwindling veteran PvP playerbase there needs to be something good happening soon because over a year of inaction or perceived negative actions has really killed most player’s patience.
No glory boosters Curie?
I’ve played 5-8 hours pvp a day since they announced glory removal and I went down from 500+ booster to now ~100 hours of glory booster left. There was just no way to burn them all for me and I imagine it’s worse for the guys that PvP’d from Day 1…
Nothing beats decap engy when it comes to solo q team carrying. Unfortunately it is also such as stupid build that if you play it you will get blocked by almost every pvp player out there lol.
Ive kept my last 2 AP chests unopened for this reason.
Such a stalker Curie <3
I can’t wait to grind 1 month per rank and get ONE tome of knowledge.
Run banner of disc and elite banner on warriors.
Also could try do what TTS does and use mortars, seed turrets, embers and ogre pet whistle to boost the dps.
- 5 signet warriors
- Signet of Resolve guardians
- 3 signet rangers
- 4 signet mesmers
Probably not what you guys were thinking of but these make me think “Are you kidding me????” every day lol.
lol @ the arrogance of
“While scouting AR in preparation for our return we found the current teamspeak inadequate and we have set up a raid call for the server. We expect that guilds will comply with this new VoIP or they will receive little cooperation from us. "
Glad I’m not on AR
Soon™
3 hours later would be NA prime time. It’s always somebody’s prime time somewhere.
What do you guys envision as the future of GW2 PvP going forward now that esports is no longer a viable option?
How do you guys plan to revitalize the NA competitive PvP scene now that there are almost no teams playing?
When will you guys address and fix the bugs associated with the maps in PvP such as terrain bugs, skyhammer bugs and so on.
Can you make the spirit watch orb carrier turn into a black quaggan with no skills on his bar?
And finally, will the power creep in PvP be addressed.
They made a beautiful new PPT screen that now works 100% of the time …. oh wait
2 and 3 are really things that should already be in game.
1 is really good too but I assume they want us to work (our mice) for it… kinda like thirst slayer requiring many mouse clicks and essence of luck and children’s drawings and alliance bags … etc
Are they going to fix getting stuck in terrain on Foefire and Temple when using blink in this patch?
If it’s so boring don’t do it then as nobody forces you to nor is it required to have multiple level 80s.
Since when do bunker guardians run AH wat
anyone more having this problem?! did they have “ninja” patched anything in pvp during i was sleep or what?!
