Guild Wars 2

I’ve not seen anything mentioned about the titles yet.

Will the titles be matched to the real amount of rank points we have (including the win reward chests) or what?

Nothing new on 4v5???

Oh well didn’t want to play anyway.

Yeah, try to play 5 games in a row without any 4v5 games.

Nah you can be in top 100 and get a few 4v5s in a row and get into 81%. been there done that doing it atm. go 4v5.

Will rank point-specific titles be fixed? Will tournament wins now count for Ransacker (etc) titles?

Will the titles be matched with the real amount of rank points gained (including the rank points from win chests)?

Or does my ransacker title still say 210k rank points gained when the real amount (according to the login screen) is closer to 600k?

Will older players get any compensation in terms of rank? Those who played thousands of tournament games to gain rank points less than 10% of the current value.

TL;DR → will tournament players get any compensation for not Skyhammer farming?

Who cares you only get greens and mithril ore anyway.

Everything is balanced in PvP just look there’s like three different builds that people run.

Swamp -> Cliffside -> Dredge -> Mai Trin
5 mins -> 20 mins -> 60 mins -> 10 mins

90% of the time. Just had my 5th consecutive run of these four.

You don’t need a 5th player!

style.6173:

Only forum users wanted rewards between now and April 15th. You do not speak for the mass majority who were ok with no rewards…. or so we hear.

Actually, the majority are in HotM wondering why they’re not gaining any glory.

Just had a 4v5.

4v5 since start. He joins when we’re 300 points behind. Gets no dishonored of course.

The enemy team had r10 warriors. Easy win, had Anet not decided to throw the dice against us.

MyGWAccount.7325:

so i would need to log out 9 times to get 3 stacks?

You get 1 stack for abandoning 1 game.

Each stack lasts for 72 hours.

3 stacks prevents you from joining rated games.

Ruin the games of 3*9 = 27 people within 3 days and you won’t be able to ruin any more games for the remainder of the first stack. Working as intended? Yes. Working? Noooo.

HoH was one of the most astonishing things GW1 accomplished, and a player could accomplish in GW1.

This would certainly fix many problems Anet currently faces with GW2.

i congergarulate you.

many proud, sons.

Mouby.7096:

There’s actually no need to open a bazillion threads about this issue.

Is it because there are too many threads or because Anet do not listen to a “minority”?

4v5 has been around since launch, why would they suddenly start fixing it?=

edit: meant to say 4v5 not pvp hahaha. but that’s true as well lol.

Removed. No compensation.

Because it doesn’t work.

Reached top 80 in SoloQ leaderboards, now having difficulty staying there cuz I keep getting into the same team as r20 elementalist who is afk for 3 mins from start.

How can matchmaking like this exist 1,5 years after release? Unbelievable.

edit: right after that game, 4v5 cuz our necro ragequit cuz of our guardian running a hammer dps build (useless). The guardian was r13.

getting wasted. jesus christ i’, drunk,

~~~~~~~~~ SOON ~~~~~~~~~~

I’m pretty sure it will be “soon”.

Tournament win chests do not count towards Rank titles: Ransacker, etc.

This has been around since the game was released.

Not sure if it is a bug or a feature, Anet have always neglected tournament players in terms of rewards.

Golden! Golden gif!

Ugruk.4069:

So there is literally no point in playing the game until the new patch hits?

rank points.

Rank points lost their meaning during Skyhammer exploiting.

Any better ideas?

Acrisor.8097:

I just completed daily PvP (the next day after patch). I received 1 Arcane Sliver.

My newbie question: Why did I just received something totally and absolutely unusable any more, that should have been removed from rewards?

I’m getting arcane orbs. Sweet arcane orbs. Really, Anet? Daily achievement REWARDS.

SOOOOOOOOOON

Does rank even matter? Just play.

Yea you must be fine with rank 1-10’s in your team
They are just as good as rank 50+’s

Matchmaking isn’t based on rank points.

Rank → Time played.

Well, at least before Skyhammer exploiting. Now it’s the opposite.

Now I actually prefer the rank 1-10s instead of the r50s cuz I know they’ve not been Skyhammer farming.

It’s alright! People will soon realize that playing the game is a reward of its own.

I mean, the game is lots of fun, and atleast 50% of the time it’s the enemy team that fails to get the 5th player!

Hello loyal gamer,

You will soon be able to increase your luck and soon you will be able to profit from it in PvP.

R45 and 50% Ransacker.

SOON.

Soon!!!! If you’re not excited you’re doing it wrong!!!

The amount of 4v5 games you’re playing before SOON is an achievement on its own!

AlbertoUlkesh.4517:

. Perhaps we will all get a rank increase according to the new rules.

ArenaNet have already stated this is not going to happen…even though they did do this in GW1.

Allie Murdock.8152:

(btw I have brought this up with the team recently – will post about it next week)

I’m glad to hear this but I’m pretty sure they already are aware of the problem.

Everytime I play 4v5 I come here and WHINE.

1776 games of PvP played.

248 TeamQ wins = 605900 rank points.
270 TeamQ losses = 47250 rank points.
484 SoloQ wins = 338800 rank points.
407 SoloQ losses = 60750 rank points.
259 HotJoin wins = 51800 rank points.
108 HotJoin losses = 13500 rank points.

Alltogether 1,117,200 rank points ~ r54 wow I’m rank 54 Jesus christ. Oh nvm I’m rank 44 (541k rank points) cuz I played PvP when the game was released and needed a lot of players and support. And according to my Ransacker title I’ve only gained 202,000 rank points cuz bonus win chests don’t apply there.

TL:DR Instead of playing PvP I could’ve done Skyhammer farming for 5 hours instead.

4v5 is not a fault it is a feature. That’s why it has not been fixed. No idea why Anet implemented it but they must have their reasons.

Allie Murdock.8152:

You should be using your glory now. Use your crafting materials as well.

Haven’t Anet got anything to say considering the Great Glory Booster hoax?

ie. the Gems for Nothing fraud?

Skyhammer is sort of a mode of its own.

Spooko.5436:

What really boggles me, is considering how easy it is to get a character to max level in PvE, why is the highest rank so ridiculous? Since the rewards are simply cosmetic, I really don’t get it.

Gaining a level increases your stats in PvE. PvP rank is purely cosmetic as well. It used to correlate the amount of time spent in PvP but skyhammer farming removed that.

Removing an item that was purchasable using gems (ie. real money).

Amazing market strategy Anet!

Now I’m too scared to buy anything from the gem store. They might be removed and not compensated in future as well.

People need to stop whining about 4v5 games. The fact that Anet still lets tournament matches start without 5 players in either team only proves that Anet doesn’t care about the current stage of PvP.

If you’re complaining because you expect quality PvP, don’t bother. The fact that PvP has been in beta stage since release only shows that Anet still considers it a lost cause.

The closest you can get to high-end PvP in this game without joining one of the (non-existant) E-sports teams is playing tournament games. Either TeamQ or SoloQ.

However, both of those queues are plagued by simple flaws like games starting with only 4 players in one team, and disturbing lack of proper matchmaking.

Anet have said they’re working on fixing those problems. They’ve been saying that since launch. Stop QQing everyone, 4v5 is here to stay.

Who cares about skill balances.

The PvP in this game is not defined by the skills players use or classes they play, it is defined by disconnects and games that start even though the teams don’t have 5 players.

Why won’t you just add them to your friendlist?

Well first of all, it would be extremely hard to record 1v1 and 1v2 against spesific classes, since the map has 10 players, it’s hard to define what is a “pure” 1v1 or 1v2.

Zeloheim.1374:

but I still dont know why the devs havent implemented a simple player count before a match starts.

Because they do not care about the game. It’s that simple really. Why are we still even asking these questions? 4v5 is here to stay.

Our “eSports” definitely feels fancy, since our “daily” is filled with 4v5 games and awful matchmaking. You can’t build eSports around something that doesn’t work.

Guild wars 2 combat is more fluid, you have to make them sit through your 100B.

If you’re playing against a GS warrior (low level tournaments/hotjoin) and don’t save one stunbreak/stability for 100B you should not be playing this game.

I think the point you missed is that taking a GS in WvW isn’t even about 100b. GS is a fantastic weapon for mobility. Used correctly it makes you nearly impossible to catch. Used incorrectly the player just becomes rally bait. That applies to pretty much everything though.

I think the point you missed is that this topic is meant for discussing a build that includes taking a GS to WvW. Sure it is great for mobility, but creating a build for WvW for the sole purpose of running away is not threadworthy.

Have you ever done WvW? Because to be honest your replies read like someone that hasn’t set foot in WvW. I don’t think you understand what I’m talking about. I don’t really have time to explain it, but I’m almost certain google will work. I’m not trying to be mean,but it would waste both of our time if I sat here explaining exactly why you are wrong.

Could you please elaborate? Are you implying there a warriors in WvW that actually run a greatsword build? I don’t know which server you are on, but I am seriously worried.

this is more intense than flame and frost. keep it going.
