Guild Wars 2

Just give up. Go play kegbrawl where real esport is at.

Sooo…. this is what you want?

kitten , that photoshop is pure esports.
GW2 actually has the infrastructure to support in-game streams but it will never get implemented cue bureaucratic excuses here, devs.

I’d be satisfied with just pictures and links, something more than the bland text.

And your c/p of in-game chat window isn’t really relevant in character screen. I was going more for the equivalent of a whisper window, so you can still chat with friends (maybe guild chat too?)

my chat window does have whisper window, just too many tabs it got tucked into the arrow expander.

btw, if you want to AFK and render way less cr@p, use MSI afterburner and limit to 1FPS. (ingame option only allow 30 or 60) Then look straight up in the sky or at a wall. Save tons on electricity bill esp if you have a beefy GFX producing heat.

Ok, lets face it: the dream of “esports,” though long dead, will never be achieved with the current client and ANet’s sorry excuse for tournament advertising.

If instead we had a client that inherently promoted events, they would all get much much more exposure and the scene would actually grow.

Edit: to clarify, this is what I think character select should look like.
Nobody gives a crap about the medals and achievements; not even PvE nerds.

And please, why not add chat window in character select? Sometimes we want to idle or AFK but still be reachable by our gw2 buddies without having to render all the engis spamming nades in our face while we’re trying to watch netflix.

Sooo…. this is what you want?

i’d be happy with something like this. Did you edit this pic or can you change things in options?

I’m a intern developer for GW4 team.

Django.5923:

After two years and a huge time investment I will quit this game.

I wanted to say goodbye to all my friends and the people I played with! It was a cool time. (i know they will see it here)

have fun and I hope for you that this pvp gets good someday.

did your investment gain value or did the stock plummet to penny worth?

it can’t be dead if it never was alive to start

u coming back to be first rank90 soon next month?

Yup. Skyhammer = best map

GoogleBrandon.5073:

Am I the only one confused as to why someone would make effort in making these lists?

Honest question really…

Cuz there isn’t anything else to do in-game.

It’s a good idea

wonders how many players in China

They should have a special NPC in the mist that collects 10 silver to enter the spectate room for rated team arena matches =]

practice keg brawl is the best way.

Should make turrets sprout legs and follow the engi around, just like a Minion Master Necro

Ovid.7135:

Simple:

Add an in-game message for when a pvp tournament has begun or is being streamed. Having the banner on the forum page with links is great, but an in-game message would help to promote pvp and draw in the masses of non-pvp players.

That requires hiring another programmer to code it. 75% chance it will bug and we will get the in-game message at the wrong time non-stop.

tell us more about your experience!

2014-09-21
Wins-3
Losses-8
Rate-27%

It means the baseline skill level of pvpers have risen much higher, and you now suck =]

To win you need to carry more in this day ’n age =]

Xista.7391:

To be fair, they did put up guard rails on A and C.

But, it doesn’t change the fact that cheese specs are dominant on this map. The entire map needs a guard rail and the glass plates need to be removed if it were to be truly fixed. But this is not what they invisioned what this map to be, therefor it’s better to remove it from soloQ.

It wouldn’t be skyhammer anymore without glass panels or edges to fall off. Might as well delete it like capricorn. Cheese or not, it is what works, they adapted to the map mechanics. Skyhammer is basically it’s own game mode.

Yea, they reduced the # of panels and added more rails on A/C nodes, but it doesn’t matter. People with bad positioning will still cry no matter what because they just stand there asking to be pull/knocked. Then come back again to stand in the same spot.

However, I luv to troll those type of people =]

Chukree.1756:

Hello community.

I want to disable getting boxes as a new option in PvP
Either that or:

You’re able to stack your boxes
You ONLY get material boxes (the only useful ones that you can just 1 click and deposit + materials stack)
Your boxes will NOT drop Ascended materials that you have to delete
Your boxes will NOT drop green items that you have salvage 5 times to get nothing

- This is serious. My inventory is constantly FILLED TO THE EDGE with items that are worthless, and I spend my time deleting it, clicking it, checking it, sighing, crying and giving up. Your boxes are useless, and YES m8z, I got a few ascended things from it, but I don’t want it, that means I need to waste my time opening the boxes and that’s not worth it.

Hopefully you’ll add a button so you can DISABLE boxes (for people that honestly don’t care about useless green items and salvaging) /rewards. Maybe only hand out the last reward at 40 rounds, the only useful one.

Thx for your attention.

Possible solutions:

• Stop playing PVP
• Play only in custom server with progression disabled.
• Make separate character just for PVP
• Buy new account just for PVP
• Just don’t click the reward chest, let it queue up and disappear
• Give me your user/password. I will open chest for you and sell for gold

Bro, college or university? college is easy i always had played stupid many games lot but always got more than B~A+ so just play game casually bro lol

And this is why you should focus on your education, a better endorsement has never been made.

I mean i dont some1 leaving this stupid gameeee come back bro plzzz

I just started middle/juniorhigh school, and its tough! Way harder than pre/grade school. Only have time to occasionally troll people in skyhammer .

And the feature will be purchasable for 200 gems.

anet should have put a bigscreen TV inside the mist and broadcast the event, maybe then I would have seen or knew about it going on. =]

What do you think this is, ALO or something? ;3

Well, I am kirito u know, but GGO would fit better.

Ryan.9387:

The exact numbers anet uses are unknown.

and they will never show us the #’s since it will reveal how bad the actual formula is.

Probably ezier to remove everything and just have hotjoins.

Serbianwolf.1652:

Can you please remove this boring and annoying map? There is nothing about skill here, only cannon.

That map with boat at middle was much more pleasant than this one.

P.S. Its not about balance, where there is none.

Not that hard to move out of the cannon lazer’s radius. If you are fighting for the cap that long to be hit by it then you are playing it wrong.

nicknamenick.2437:

Fix it pls.

I run into pvp so many times wondering why i do so bad, finding out my gear is broken (from wvw or whatever) and ofc no repair againt in pvp.

Weird. I’m poor and don’t even wear any gear, but yet still kick butt in PvP

Plz add skyhammer back to teamQ.

The old school skyhammer haters have all left this world. This new breed and generation of gw2 pvpers luv skyhammer!

too much work for Anet do to. Thats like another few lines of If-else-then statements.

Teutos.8620:

If you only got 40 points as a thief, you are definitely doing something wrong…

What if you got 40pts, but everyone else had 0pts? How about you had 4 other thieves and each only got 40 too lol. But but but.. what if you are a bunker thieF!

might as well remove any reward progression for doing hotjoin.

Skyhammer is fine.

People just don’t realize that it is a different game mode which goes beyond conquest.

It’s actually conquest on a higher level. You need to count more dodges, anticipate enemy skills/cd, positioning, and map awareness. Normally you can miss a few of these and still be alive in typical conquest, but in skyhammer you are punish severely or handsomely rewarded.

The handful that do realize simply refuse to switch to a build/play-style suited for the map. Which leaves the select few that do adapt to wreck havoc on them.

The map is too easy though, I just run around, do a stealth combo and pull enemies for free, undodgeable kills. Requires almost no skill and takes the fun away.
If you do play it normally, chances are other people will just stealh pull/fear combo you for free no-skill-required kills.

Easy just isn’t fun and most kills feel like cheating.

Other than that, the map has many bugs (see my previous comment); which has also nothing to do with ‘learning’ to play.

Too easy because vast majority of people don’t know how to play the map yet, and just QQ.

Stealth pulls is very avoidable, but you need to watch for the signs. Hmm, you see or hear glass panel breaking better have stun breaker/porting ability ready. If you don’t have the CD, then re-position. Timely anticipatory dodge will negate the pulls if you are out of CDs. Fighting for a node for over 30seconds? Get ready to be pulled or skyhammered since you are likely doing it wrong. People masquerade and dismiss the skyhammer falls as cheap or no skill, but it actually their lack of skill to avoid it.

Once in a blue moon, you’ll play a game where everyone knows how to play. Those games are pretty fun.

bring back skyhammer to teamq too.

China has skyhammer in tQ.

They also don’t have a solo Q.

Moving to china!

bring back skyhammer to teamq too.

Rune of Golemancer will be added in the next feature patch, but will cost 100g per character, not account bound.

Rumor has it… they will announce it at PAX next summer.

Skyhammer is the best map!!! Can’t wait for it to return to teamq.

leungctm.1362:

bored of pvp. all my friends have quit. Anet i know your are “working on it” said that since a year ago.

I am just going to sit out, please make a big announcement when you make a huge change to the game.

Thanks very much,

really enjoyed the game for a year.

Riz no longer my friend! More more bubble pop 4 u

down state mechanic is fine, just L2P.

Skyhammer is the best!~ Plz, bring it back to teamq like when it first released.

“Top 100”

http://www.gw2score.com/PvP/player/Chilli2976

stop it you! ehehe, you make me famous

He never said what category he was top 100 in, could be top in most deaths or something.

Anyways, I wish I was cool & in top 100 so I can play against “noobs”

jakakettu.9083:

Today I wanted to re-read the rules of conduct of GW2 just for some fun. (yes… I have odd sense of fun) And then I noticed something quite interesting…..

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-rules-of-conduct/

The part 22.
“While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching.”

How many times have you seen this happen in pvp lately? There’s atleast one person in PvP or in tournament who refuses to play.

Atleast I will start reporting everyone who does not actively play in PvP (mainly solo and team queue) to support. I want them to do something about the fact that somebody refuses to play in these “competive” environment.

Another quote from the beginning:
“Please be aware that failure to comply with these rules of conduct may result in the termination of your Guild Wars 2 game account according to the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement.”

I also wanted to hear from the Anet itself – can we get that report button for AFK players in sPvP already so we can follow your rules of conduct better?

What do you think?

the link contains the word “legal”.

Probably won’t be enforced unless a lawyer starts a lawsuit because a player went AFK and cause emotional harm to their wealthy clients =]

put a bank in the mist, and remove the portal =]

Who wants a skyhammer guide/tutorial on how to play, win and/or troll?

Considering making one if the demand exist.

http://strawpoll.me/2272529

Guide will likely cover
-Engi build
-Positioning
-Skill rotation
-Countering other profession
-Cannon tactics

kirito.4138:

Maybe you are trying to play medi guard like your bunker war? Playstyle is entirely different, but being bunky is ezier to carry a team.

It is, but it is also much more frustating when you have a build centered all around your team and they just don’t contribute. Usual this is what happens if I lose when bunkering. I usually enjoy bunkering for a while but then I get bored after a while.

If your team’s teamfight is horrible, you’re just gonna melt like butter playing medi dps guard. Better off just roaming and pick off players 1v1 to cause their rotation to go out of sync.

ArrDee.2573:

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

If you want to get better, watch other better people play! That’s what Vee Wee did and now Vee Wee is #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80! Make your fingers smart not stupid! Then learn about positioning! When should you be at mid! When should you be at home! When should you be at far! Then maybe mPascoal can be #1 Guardian NA!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Actually, get drunk and button mash and u can play better.

Its being planned for 2098-2099 release. Hang in tight, they’ll deliver!

Fixed that for you

You broke it. Suppose to look like its almost there, but yet will never.

Hey you look like a girl with a lightsaber now. Wtf happened man.

Trans is the new fashion meta of the future!

Change reward/progression to be received only if a complete hotjoin match is played. If a player switch to spec or changes server they forgo any reward or progression.
