Shalla.3967:

Over 150+ chests and only got 1 pair of heavy ones…

kind of a rare definition…

i have to admit this shouldnt be.

i wanted to point out i think its ok that you cant get them anymore, not that it was hard to get them.

@ harrier: trading post doesnt count imo

ease your life…
people and their first-world-problems…

c’mon, this was a joke, you knew that

JonPeters.5630:

Working now? 15 chars

dunno, ask chap or evan – heard they were devs, at least the last time…

its ok. they are rare.
for example you cant get the wintersday nor the halloween items.
those gauntlets were from the molten alliance events.

if everyone could get them, where would be the rarity?
and you cant them in pve either.

at least i can call myself lucky this time

and now do your math again with condtion dmg

Oni Link.4621:

After spending some time

i dont know much about warrior, i just know they need some love and wanted to hop in and give you some props (+1).

the time you invested – impressive, really impressive

/bow

annoying as it can be for a major battle mechanic – tbh its gamebraking

afaik they are about to fix it. well they said they fixed it in the recent patch, but it didnt work.
dunno why nobody of the devs mentioned it on the forums. only read/heard it on the streams

maybe because everybody is crying anyways wether they fix it or not/ tell it or not

1. more solo-player experience
i often find myself running around solo. hotjoin is absolutely no option, absolutely not. its not even good to try out something imo. soloQ atm is frustrating mainly because of well known facts (facing premades, 4v5’s, lack of possibility to interact with teammates – last one can be ignored i think if they split the Q’s)
like different tournaments/automated tournaments as they were in gw1 for example. in some kind of way custom arenas are now for the tourneys, but as a casual player with no competitive team and the intention to just have fun, playing those organised priced tournaments is absolutely not what i am looking for.
i really want to keep the team oriented playstyle, but as a player with no full competitive roster i find it hard to get organised for 3rd party tournaments.
i want to hop in, call out at some friends who are currently online and full the roster with some pugs or queue up as duo or trio.
the first step to a solution may be the splitting of the queues, but it would still lack variety. for the higher tier in the competitive scene this might be right, but just for the fun of playing (i think thats not only for the casuals though) there needs to be more (i really dont want to be the next one player who points at gw1, but its just the perfect example with random arena, team arena, tombs and then the top tier with ladder aka gvg and all this modes gave me almost 7 years of fun)

2. more customisation on the user interface
this annoys me since i started gw2. most of all the minimap. at least give us an option to make it sticky and add another zoom-level
i play on a 27" and if i max the minimap there is still room for another 2 minimaps until i reach the skillbar. repositioning of my effects (boons, cond) would be awesome; like making it bigger and more in the middle. in the end, again, as it was in gw1 would be perfect but might be too much.

3. a REAL ranking system
not one that actually tells your playtime. those glory points…. standing in hotjoin and doing nothing would get me to dragon rank and this fact is just pooh-pooh – no matter how long this would take, it is possible.
really important for that would be separated ranking (soloQ, teamQ, hotjoin, <whatever gets implemented>)
now i start hating myself for that :P – as, for example gw1 tombs. 1st victory 1 fame point increasing on consecutive wins. so by implementing a tournament (and please dont call the actual match-up a tournament…) with 3 rounds you will get more and more whatever-points. and there were different rankings for the different pvp modes – fame, champ points, gladiator points etc.

my 2 cents on more and/or other incentives than rank: i dont think the dev’s need to implement more incentives for pvp players, because the incentive in playing pvp is to face other players – to pvp in fact. if someone needs something besides that (and i read a lot QQ like "we want more this and that or we stop with ur stupid game) it means it’s just not the right game(mode) for you. go pve if you want to grind.

much love
kito

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

How about implementing a new backpack instead?

this would be awsome!!

bt srsly, no response for a long time and no fix for this issue? (or hotfix any other pvp issue)

you must hate pve players a little less than you hate pvp’ers – there is no other explanation on this

i really like this idea a lot!!

so a YES!
because it gives more variety and a “pve-end-game-mode” where i could find myself
and i really like the idea with interacting spectators (cheer/boo; bet)

OT: imho first spvp needs some major-dev-love in case of game modes

MarkPhilips.5169:

Freeze minimap position

I want to lock minimap in a position where i always see 3 nodes, with a good zoom, in that way i can always know where my friends are.

Prof icons on minimap are great but pls, freeze minimap position, i don’t want it moves with my position, i want a fixed position.

This stuff it’s very good for players (team and PUG) and spectator, if people don’t know where others people are, everything is harder.

patch after patch after patch i am waiting for this – was suggested like years before and thousands of times – still.
i’d love to have a interface similar to gw1 in terms of customisability where we were able to adjust the position and size of every single element on screen

Defyx.3956:

…I don’t understand the sigil neither why bleed whereas battle, kill proc one, energy etc.. or even poison are more usefull imo (it’s a good choice for 1vs1 tho)…

try it out with test dummies, the geomancy sigil procs a so called frozen burst which hits for a huge damage (1-2k), bleeding is like a bonus there

kostbabis.8791:

Im always amazed by how stupid people can be..
Did you even bother reading his posts..?
Besides why do you care what he ll do with his own paid custom arena?? :S
Or are you afraid of seeing those pve arenas in your server browser? What he is asking has nothing to do with spvp..isnt it obvious? kitten people..

yes i read it.

Nuka Cola.8520:

no wouldn’t be just cosmetic. Im talking about EVERYTHING ascended gear and mods such as Cavalier included.

thats why its stupid.
but if he meant just unlock the skin, thats another point.

in case you didnt know: matchmaking has nothing to do with the rank

Farry.8259:

…
Why I think that ArenaNet has not implemented a good 1v1 or 2v2 in the game is, because then you can really find out that the combat is unballanced….

of course it is unbalanced in 1v1 situations, because it is intended to be about TEAMS.
it makes absolutely no sense to balance a team-game around 1v1 – nonsense.

if you want balancing around 1v1 – anet would have to make a completely different game for you.

besides to have a duelling function and to want gamebalance around 1v1 situations are 2 completely different things – so i really dont get why people want this kind of balance, because it would be gamebraking

Nuka Cola.8520:

Now that we can rent server with OUR money and set the rules, why not allow us use pve gear if we want to?

still cant believe i read this for real

no. simple – no.

best reply to this is the forum weapon, posted above.

still cant believe it…

Parisalchuk.9230:

…is to split ranks into 2 categories, match making rank and leaderboard rank….

somethink like that. like if you havent played for 2 weeks you disappear from the ladder without loosing rating. as soon as you start to play again you continue with your mmr as you left and reappear on the ladder.

personally i’d like it more if you loose rating by not playing

Firebaall.5127:

shockwave.1764:

Seriously, can we get an actual response on why we have to play the same map everyday for half a week?

Shhhh. you. This week’s flavor of ice cream is orange puke. You like orange puke, right? I mean you will like orange puke if I ram it down your throat for 5 days in a row.

It will get to the point, you’ll ask yourself….“self, why am I not having orange puke rammed down my throat”? “I mean, I kind of liked it the first 4 days.”. “Now that it’s gone, I kind of miss it!”.

“In fact, I’m kind of missing some orange puke eaten, and thrown back up”. “I wish I could eat some more orange puke”. “Hey self…..is it orange puke if I eat it and barf it back up again?”.

“Heck, what makes orange puke “puke” in the first place?". “Do I have to eat it until I spew it up again to qualify it?”

For the love of god and all that is holy….stop messing around with us and give us a map rotation. We are not hamsters in your high school biology lab. Give us a kitten wheel that smells a bit different.

i’m begging you (anet) can we please get a random rotation or at leaster a shorter interval?
not for the love of god and for sure nothing holy.
just for us – your players <3

as its intended to play the game more than just for 1 year, i think its ok that it takes so long reaching higher ranks.
you guys always talk about incentive and on the other hand want everything achieved now.

there are turrets, there are elixirs and there are gadgets -
there is a mortar, there is elixir s and another turret elite – but why there is no gadget elite?

this thread was moved, although i think it would perfectly fit into the pvp discussion forums. anyway, bumping one time to get it seen.

luv u anet!

hey friends!

i was playing in a really nice custom arena today. it was 2v2 deathmatch with a 30 points limit. so first team with 6 kills wins. it was really nice to watch all those players matching up against each other, but on the other hand it was really hard for me to join a game because there is only this popup before match where i have to spam mousebutton on join random and hopefully get lucky.
i think this is a missing feature.
i thought it would be nice to implement a queueing system – no matchmaking or anything else – just for the spectators to queue up for the next match, first click first queue. in this case (2v2) it cant be more than 16 queuers – on a 3v3….yeah….
i guess its not that much and it would help servers like these grow stronk!

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

kito.1827:

i remember someone (karl, J & J) who has mentioned somewhere (SotG) that in one patch (march 26th) there will be somewhat (boonhate) against something (bunker ele/guard)

im wandering why everybody – even the QQ community – forgot about it.
maybe we can get a dev reply on boonhate? (feels kind of dreaming away…)

Because Boon-hat for me personally has no priority and I think for A-Net too.
Second reason is because there are much bigger issues at the moment, as incentive, balance, custom-arenas, observ-mode, bigger tournaments etc. etc.

The list is endless….

i totally agree with the priority.
but don’t you think, if addressed right, boon hate could counter eles at least a little bit?
and eles are definitely an issue tbh

i remember someone (karl, J & J) who has mentioned somewhere (SotG) that in one patch (march 26th) there will be somewhat (boonhate) against something (bunker ele/guard)

im wandering why everybody – even the QQ community – forgot about it.
maybe we can get a dev reply on boonhate? (feels kind of dreaming away…)

if you play against a team with eles, you allready know you have to outnumber the fight against the ele.

if the opponent runs 1 ele, me and my team allways go /sigh
if there are 2 or more we keep trying to win the match, but allmost from the start we all kind of know that this match is lost.
we even thought of sending anet a statement by leaving every single match with at least 1 ele – and somehow try to get other people in this boat – we never did, but only getting into such thoughts…

maybe anet realizes that there has to be something wrong about eles if we do so.

the current meta says “no ele, no glory” – thats sad because i really liked the philosophy of “no matter which class you roll, its viable”

Dardamaniac.1295:

Again picking an Asura for that extra edge seems more stupid to me that making an RP in your character..If picking a barbie doll give you 50% better perfomance would you choose her?I wont,how can i make an RP with a barbie doll?“One day Sindy went shopping,then she decided that she must go to a frozen battleground to slay some Charrs cause she didnt find a match for her shoes”

LOL
made my day! thx

on topic i totally agree with you. nowadays there are so many self called pro’s, which wouldn’t be the problem, but how they act is a problem in particular.
but there are still nice gamers out there, sadly those acting rude stay in mind.

just keep your attitude, black sheeps will be crossing paths every now and then

or nullification… do i get a double chance on condi remove if i use it on and off hand?

bhagwad.4281:

All the problems with the current rankings is because people are dependent on their teammates to win and yet rankings are individual based not team based – as indeed they should be without a more formal team system in place.

Real skill is displayed only during 1v1…

…stopped there because it’s ridiculous

all the problems with the current rankings are inside the head of the people who think there are problems.

i believe this ladder is for soloQ and as soon as there will be tournaments (the real ones, not the just so called ones) there will be a team-ladder for lets say only registered team-players. Or a separated Q and ladder or something like that.

people complaining about rating-loss in soloQ just don’t have the guts. you know – no guts, no glory…

duelling would be a nice feature to test set-up’s but nothing more. and keeping in mind that we are playing a game for team-play this should never ever ever be ranked. never.
ever.
- kitten imagine how that would be unfair…

PS: as long as there are people, people will QQ

thats it?
wow
feel a little stupid now

thx jax!!

can someone please explain this 15-chars-thing to me?
srsly

thanks in advice

4srsly?

/15char

well, that was not the explanation i expected…

please?
anyone?

i do understand why they never come out with dates. just think of this: nobody told us that leaderboards are implemented a week after patch – they just mentioned it could be about a week (read the update notes – no date at all).
and now here we are, everyone complaining why it isn’t already there and kitten and numbers.

just relax guys

@devs: i didn’t get for what to stabilize you are waiting – a short explanation?

phfresno.1230:

People are complaining the Custom Arenas are gem based? From the beginning they said this would be the case. Don’t understand how people are surprised by this.

like every year people are complaining how surprised they are that suddenly it is winter…

Mrbig.8019:

OP, it seems you really don’t understand how ridicolously broken the ele is currently.

The ele is ruining the whole meta, and no i’m not exaggerating.

first i felt the same about ele’s – then i thought this can’t be, i just have to learn how to counter them.
a few days ago i faced a ele surviving in a fight against up to 4 players – as the 5th oponent joined the fight, the ele was successfully leaving the fight and survived.

oh, i have to mention that this ele was naked (→ wearing no ammo at all, except his underwear)

sure the player must be kind of skilled to do so – but this can not be called balanced at all

Sanis.1096:

if you didnt know ppl who play mesmer are extremely skilled and know more about this game than other profession players

interesting, when did this happen?

MakeitNeil.4561:

I am tired of getting HIT IN STEALTH!

me too, but i’m on the other side

but sure, pets shouldn’t be able to target nonvisibles – as far as players can’t

VOTE: for 1 sec CD over the whole skillbar when coming out of stealth and no attack possibility for both sides while in stealth!

running into aoe and getting hits is fine though

i would love to hear a statement to the promises in this thread
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/s-tPvP-Support-Is-it-coming/first#post53495

or discuss it at least

Batim.9075:

Sometimes i also see that there are many high level pvp:ers in the same team, (not premaid as of what i can see) vs many low level pvp:ers.
Why is that?

that is because because the indicator for MMR is independent from your actual rank. rank is just some type of showing how much time u invested, not how good you are.
further there are separate indicators for 2team-tpvp and for 8team-tpvp.
as for now, you cant see your MMR indicator (rating) or your ranking.

so am i really the only one who wants a single point of information?

milo.6942:

op is talking about premades playing with people who solo queue. a pug group of rank 40+ vs a premade team r40+ are not at all on the same level. the difference in communication is enormous. that is why there should be a solo queue.

why is everyone ignoring the fact that rank means nothing in mmr? tell me, why?

a team with R10+ might have the same rating as a R40+

as you are answering the same all the time, i cant see constructivness in this thread…

to me all MOBAs are so far away from games like GW2, i would never consider it to replace a MMORPG

Gallifreyan.1467:

sPvP question will rank 10s that solo Q still get matched against teams of rank 40s over and over ??

cause thats getting old fast.

so, did you realize that rank means nothing in matchmaking as your rating based for it to calculate matchmaking is a different and independent value?

Harrywinky.8632:

1. 90% Games solo´s are matched against PREMADE teams.

well, i play myself and have to say this is far from being realistic. i get about 20-30% and its getting less.

Harrywinky.8632:

2. There is a huge gap between ranks in those games.

yes it is, but as long as mmr is independent of rank, and as long as rank is just a number for time invested in zergfest, i dont care about rankgap and you should neither.

Harrywinky.8632:

3. There are lots of matches starting 4vs5.

this really is an issue and as far as i know devs are working on it.

Harrywinky.8632:

Why punish so much solo players Anet? Do you realize how soon is this pvp going to die?

the Q leavers should get punished, instead the ones left forced to play 4vs5 are punished. imo that is not ok.
but pvp is going to die? well, as long as i can remember, pvp is going to die. this startet some 7 or so years ago in gw1. People are way too much complaining all the time.

so long…

very nice!

besides the specific build explanation would be nice to here what “pros” have to tell about class over all

hello fellows!

i’ll keep this short.
since i find myself again searching the forums for new dev posts on any news what is upcoming or what they have done, i am really wondering why i have to do this?

so here my suggestion:
would it be possible to get some sort of news or blog post where u post all the news?
i mean we all need a single point where we can get all the info instead of wasting time searching forums if there hopefully is any hidden info.
for example: i would have never known that devs are working on banners https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Solo-Que/first#post1541808 or that they seperated the ratings for 2 team and 8 team queues https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Solo-Que/first#post1541238 or a bug on engi trait that gets fixed immediatly https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Packaged-Stimulants-bug/first#post1552760 if i do not watch and search the forums.
and no, the dev tracker doesn’t solve the problem

do you devs have some sort of benefit not informing the community which i just dont understand?

i dont take the official-writing-and-translating-for-all-the-community-blahblah-process as an excuse, because since u are posting things in an official forum, i dont think it can get more official than this…

appreciate every statement on this. (prefer dev statement)

sincerely yours
engi-lover!

PS: yeah, i know… my english… sorry for that

Thanks.

I had a few minutes free, not a week :P

That’s a nice list though!

what? please dont tell me that was the first time you realised there is a bug list?
thats poor…
i wanted to hear you are working on all of these, but sadly it seems that you arent even aware of it.
cant believe it

today i start praying to tyler – perhaps it helps

felivear.1536:

To be clear, hotjoin is a farce and should not be considered as part of this game.

at least not spvp. u can learn how to act in a zerg. so perhaps it should be renamed as a wvw training arena?

felivear.1536:

It’s not representative of the PvP in GW2 at all.

They should call it Glory Ball or something, cause it isn’t conquest.

*not for spvp in gw2 at all
ha! glory ball… made my day
