Second, no one is on a high horse. People are simply expressing their opinion.

Yes, and from what I have gathered people asking for the Floppy Fish to change are calling those wanting it to remain the same some manner of a Sadist.

It’s a ludicrous position to take, we’re talking about fish that doesn’t exist in the real world, of which is advertised as something magically abnormal and somehow at this late in the game they perceive it as ‘shocking’.

How much violence do you think is in this game? When you kill a Charr NPC with a fire-based attack, the death animation has the charr screaming as if it is being burned alive, flailing its arms trying to put out the flames. We also go kill Zombie enemies, with all the grotesque innards and limbs out in full view, some zombies don’t have eyes!

I am not saying they don’t have a right to an opinion, but given all the other things in this game that they haven’t spoken up about, the opinion that somehow a Floppy Fish is shocking and needs to be changed is outright disingenuous. I take into question the sincerity of the OP’s request. I am willing to be the OP is trolling everyone and managed to get some actual people who care about fish made of pixels.

Many people actually care about what happens in GW2. I see posts of people getting upset about certain stories, or angry, or sad. The pixels represent something, like any image. Of course it isn’t representing a real fish, but what I’m saying is that I don’t prefer to have any kind of image of a dying animal frequently or constantly around as a “fun” or “humorous” thing. Obviously this is just my opinion, but I don’t understand people who object to me stating it.

Can I ask you to explain why it’s ok for minipets to be beheaded and suffering but this
magical fish can’t flap around on the ground after you?

The only pet I know of that is “beheaded” is the wurm. If you read the entire thread you would see that I only found out that the wurm pet is a severed wurm head in this very thread. I never zoomed in on one to see the details, but I don’t enjoy that either.

There’s also the Chicken caught in a Tornado with her Eggs/Babies….

Why do you play such a violent game if these bother you so much? You commit Genocide in this game for the sake of a few MATS, randomly murdering things just because they got in your way, slaying mythical creatures left, right and centre.

I’m just trying to see the logic behind all this and why a commodity has stirred so much grief for players when other examples of the reasons given so far already exist in game and didn’t bother them until a fish was introduced into game. Where was the line crossed exactly?

I’m not sure why you are trying to tell me how I play or think when you actually have no idea.

But having a dying fish just hanging around constantly as a “fun” animation is different from encounters while actually playing.

Please read a bit better next time.
It’s fine if you can’t answer the question either, I was just looking for a logical explanation that made sense but there doesn’t appear to be one yet.

Be thankful you placed that high, a lot of people with 7-3 or 6-4 like you but placed bottom bronze or silver, seen threads/scores like yours and left the game.

Thats because their rating last season was garbage. Either way, shouldn’t take too long progressing up to atleast plat 1 (which is where you’re starting to face decent players in the first place).

The elo-hell isn’t real. If you can’t carry your weight of of bronze, that’s where you belong.

Do you actually believe that this season? I’m in Gold and I’ve knocked people from Silver back to bronze just because MM couldn’t match me with other Golds…. Same goes with higher players, those platinum kittens have knocked me back into Silver a few times, Naru/Vallun did it to me last season too…..

Just my opinion…..

First the population issues need to be addressed
-Revert Ascended changes.
-Introduce the new “Year Of Ascension”, even if it’s the same design in different colours.

matchmaking
-Introduce a hard cap on games for rating, say about 250. Or restrict it to same divisions only. No more Silvers vs ESL games.
-Compose teams of similar skill, not 4 bronze + 1 ESL vs 5 Golds. I know this creates “balanced” games but it also debunks any meaning to rating/divisions.

other
-Create a JP for the Lobby with PvP potions as a reward.
-Only reward the winners.
-Actually punish players who receive multiple reports for match manipulation / afk.
-Reintroduce ranked parties.
-Introduce a 3v3 ranked TDM using Courtyard as the map.

Yannir.4132:

Where do you imagine the PvP players came from originally? From PvE they came, that’s where. Nobody starts playing an MMO for the PvP, as MMO’s have comparatively crappy PvP when you compare them with FPS games, sports games or whatever LoL is.

The only reason I ever came to GW2 was for “Guild Wars”… It didn’t exist…. Until GvG!!!! Then just like the rest of WvW after the first 2 years, died off.

So basically WvW was the reason I got into GW2, WvW died and now I live in PvP.

Be thankful you placed that high, a lot of people with 7-3 or 6-4 like you but placed bottom bronze or silver, seen threads/scores like yours and left the game.

Elementalist Owner.7802:

Take other competitive games like League, for example, where you must lock in your champion before even seeing your enemies champions. (I’m not very familiar with League so excuse me if that’s not accurate) — and I know, GW2 is not a moba, but in any competitive type of game where counter builds exist, that kind of system is absolutely necessary.

In ranked people take it in turns to pick a class for LoL… Captain chooses 1 champion, usually the toon the jungler wants to play because it’s hardest to counter a champ not in lane. You got some exceptions like if the enemy chooses Nocturne, you can pick Lee simply because Noc needs his blue buff and Lee does not require mana so you can counter Noc by taking his Red buff while he’s busy taking his blue. Each team takes it in turn of choosing a champion, usually what counters the other lane best.

I made it to Gold in Season 2 for Ranked 5v5 teams with one of my teams and Silver for team 3v3 ranked, haven’t really played ranked since then though so it may have changed.

What you’re referring too for not seeing enemy champs is usually Unranked Blind pick.

penelopehannibal.8947:

Thread bug, let’s crush it. Oh wait….

Some might say that’s cruelty to animals….Or even offensive to bugs the we refer to something broken as a “bug”…

I had this opinion last season…. Looking at population issues this season after the changes made to ascended I’m more inclined to say to revert the change and attract more PvE people….

Or better yet, release that new Legendary they promised yearly for Year Of Ascension. Even if it’s different colours, say like Black + Red….

Gaile Gray.6029:

This is an interesting discussion, and it’s clear there are a variety of opinions about the topic. Please feel free to share your thoughts, but we’d appreciate your doing so without the use of pejoratives or insults towards those who hold a different opinion.

TL;dr – Be kind!

What ever you do, please don’t change it….. Threads like this already ruined April Fools day for us.

You guys have created such a great game, please don’t let a few kids ruin it for the rest of us…

(I’m also going to say thanks, this has inspired me to take my family fishing in 3 weeks)

This is fantastic and I’m going to buy one the moment I get home…..

To anyone “disgusted” with this, grow a pair and go fishing. I know it sounds harsh, but you’ve spent too much time on the internet if you find something like this disturbing. Fish is a commodity for Christ sake.

(if you haven’t fished, to give you an idea, you put worms on a hook, right through the guts, loop around a few times and re-puncture that worm for good measure, then you catch a fish and rip the hook out of it’s mouth, smash it’s head on the ground to kill it, skin it, rinse it and cook it, tasty AF)

I feel like a camping trip now

MissCee.1295:

Population is definitely down, from what I can EU has taken the biggest blow.

Is it better than NA though? I was thinkin of making the transfer for next season….

I have 27 characters….

If you’re interested in WvW and PvP then it’s advisable to have more than 3-4 classes as they all contribute different things.

Builds are different for every game mode and WvW/PvP you have roles to play essentially, so for Necro your role would be the DPS and for Ele your role would be the support. (PvP example)

For me it’s the match making…. I’m sick of being knocked out of gold because I can’t beat players like Naru. He’s an ESL player but the system says I have to beat him in order to be Gold worthy.

BUT

I still play everyday. The current matchmaking has got me seeking other games and trying to get back into LoL for the first time since LoL Season 2…. Atleast their system puts me against similar skill levels.

-700 rating decay…. That might be it.
Pretty sure you can use Decay to boost your rating but it’s also a gamble.

I thought they fixed that to not give any bonus rating boost because Evan said it made no sense to do so during a season.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Why-is-my-MMR-change-so-high/6468259

Regardless, I can see why you might think that way but nah I am not doing this to ‘cheat’ the system lmao, I just don’t care to play after I realized the first 10 games it was gonna be another same season of pointlessness.

I had like 500+ games last season, top 250, didn’t abuse decay or anything of the sort and I’m not even a “real PvPer”.

I was just takin a stab in the dark about the other guys comment… If they fixed the decay thing that’s awesome but yea this season is a joke…

I was mad last season for fighting top 20 duo queues as silver, nothing changed this season so now I play Diviner Spirit Druid, Ghost Thief, Lightning Rod Ele and Spirit weapon burn DH…. I still play for fun I guess.

LMFAO. And yall think this type of behavior being fully allowed in a competitive rated environment. Is going to make competitive, players want to come back to PvP in GW2? That is pretty kitten funny. Actually so kitten funny to the point it’s pretty pathetic. So now tell me after yall all have finished gaming the system at the end of the season.

How does that make yall feel to know. That yall had to use other then competitive means to secure yalls leader-board positions? Me personally I’d feel pretty cold and empty inside, having to resort to means outside of sportsmen-like play in order to acquire a ill-gotten title or rank. But that’s just me tho.

Yeah what are you talking about, you do realize you are quoting a player who literally had hundreds of games last season and made the top 200 if i remember correctly.

Can you elaborate?

Ruru.1302:

If they know how to play multiple classes, why shouldn’t they have an advantage over you?

Fair enoth however why should OP lose ratings because his team mates who he didn’t get a chance to choose didn’t swap classes.

It’s a 2 way street.

Most of the skill required in this game since HoT spam fest came out is nothing more than knowledge, including what classes and comps are best suited for a match.

Did you know that before HoT we used to dodge certain animations like Fire Grab?
I barely see anyone dodge now, it’s mostly just stand still with blocks, invuln and evades.

saerni.2584:

Too used to my play style for that :p

Also I don’t get as much time to play as I used to. Only benefit of long commutes is time to type on forums.

If you are NA would like to see the build in action though

I am NA but I’m Aussie, I’ll add ya to friends once I get home. I get that too, I haven’t really touched thief in a few years but I used to play a berserker signet D/D build but for the last few years I’ve been using phone wifi hotspot for net and Thief is a class I can’t play with 400+ ping, those CnD’s are almost impossible….

epic.2476:

Wolfric.9380:

Thats a main reason why it´s bad in PvP ^^. You can´t kill fast and can´t cap/decap if defended. You just anoy …

Ok, ty =)

It’s purely to annoy and to make it a 4v2 across the other 2 capture points.

If it’s 1v1 you can kill pretty quickly but you just gotta remember to destealth yourself just before you stomp. Also the Caltrops skill is large enough to cover point so if your enemy sits on point then they’re only going to die.

saerni.2584:

How is your damage and kills? Top stats generally?

You should try it

saerni.2584:

Now for the harder question:

What is it that kills you most often?

So far in total I’ve died 6 times….

Faced a longbow Druid in one match and he was easy, next game I faced him again but he equipped “Sic Em”…. He gave me 3 of my deaths….

Otherwise I’ve died twice to a Necro, lucky freeze bomb let him know where to nuke his marks and transfers and the other death was from a DH knockback on hammer platform :/

steelheart.7386:

They must be dumb because one person could deal with you keeping the point there color indefinitely since your mostly stealthed not sure why three people would worry about you. Also powerful aoe doesnt need to see you to kitten you. Sounds like something that works against bads. Is this really a thing I played about 40 games this weekend I didn’t see it once I am far from a pro was mostly in the 1550 range MMR wise for most of the games. (sometimes a little lower or higher).

The whole point of the build was to just troll far but it’s working better than expected.
At your level I don’t see this working simply because at my level I can run a Diviner Spirit Ranger and still be successful, even a Marauder Lightning Rod D/D Ele with Surging Runes is successful here….1300-1400 range….

saerni.2584:

Any thief should be able to keep far decapped if no one is on it so that is less important imo. If they are trying to 3v1 you then that is good because they have let you manipulate them, well done :-D. The risk you face is one stays and the others just leave to help their team.

When it comes to killing do you always stay completely invisible or do you often come out of stealth to kill them? I think my reservations with the build have more to do with thinking it stays in stealth 100%. I just can’t imagine 100% uptime being helpful. If you are more like 75% uptime then the build starts to look more effective in my mind.

No it’s not 100% stealth although you could if you want (I do against necros to avoid the condi transfer)… I get people low with traps, caltrops, AI and confusion and then start Shadow Shot / Heartseeker spamming once they are low.

So about 90% of the time I’m stealthed.

You should give it a shot

saerni.2584:

How does the build perform role wise?

I’m not sure, I’m the worst thief ever until I played this build. (and im still bad)

Role wise I’m not sure: It’s good for mobility, ganks, trolling, killing and rezzing but outside of that I’m not sure.

I think I’m being useful if I keep far decapped or have 3 on far with me, I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m meant to do as a thief besides the +1 gig.

saerni.2584:

I run P/D, so similar to yours in terms of ranged pressure. Ghost thief can’t really do that and has to end up on point at some moment to drop traps. DH would hard counter the build with its own traps I’d imagine. That or a condi ranger using that spike trap.

Really if anyone has a video of ghost thief winning a match I’d like to see it.

These are some one of my latest ones… Once I have my modem I’ll be able to upload some videos…

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQNAoaVlsMh2mYzTw7Jw+EHIFl+JPhFj3ABwC4fhbY+A-TpA7gAA7PgWGAA is the build. Sage trapper. (only 2 traps tho lol)

2x Immob in the caltrops, let AI dish out some damage while you wait in stealth then shadow shot spam when they’re low. Sometimes if you’re lucky they don’t bother and give a free point instead.

Must just be golds and lower but I’m having a lot of success with Ghost thief…. Getting 17/0 most games and easily keeping 2-3 on a point, even had someone tell me to take my trash build back to WvW and stop ruining PvP lol

(sage trapper)

What are your thoughts on Ghost Thief in PvP?

Personally I think it’s great on far to troll 2-3 people, also makes for a good combat medic.

I switch to make our team have a 3rd thief then play the mobility game on sides and spiking any who leave alone for a point.

Can’t team fight with 2 Thieves on the team so might aswell adapt and change.

Ragnarox.9601:

Nope I would rather see free sigil changes on legendary weapons.

bigmonto.4215:

the fact that Warrior is currently a much better 1v1 class, but Guardian is much better at team fights.

Which is the thread discussion, Warrior beats DH. Team fights a DH is better yes, but that’s not the thread.

Lolwhat? What’s that even supposed to mean? Remarking how a consensus does not mean it’s right does not make me an Oxford* doctorate, just about anyone should be able to understand it. And just because you’re unable to grasp it does not make you a “Mississippi fast food worker”.

Idk why you’d even bring it up, or why you’d use those titles. And it was never an argument in the first place, it was you continuously making up a bunch of off-topic, irrelevant nonsense, in order to overshadow your shortcoming. Huh, I guess that’s why you brought it up.

But you’re the one who started all the consensus earth is flat crap.

Crinn.7864:

Darknicrofia.2604:

the signet of might GS/Mace Shield power war directly counters nearly every meta DH build.

Or the guard just dodge+kites when the signet comes out, and then wins.

And then the War pops Endure Pain, Shield stance and whatever else, stands behinds you and still wrecks you.

Signet of Might is not necessary to beat a DH, it’s only a shortcut to bypass Aegis and secure an easy Headbutt otherwise there’s nothing hard about 1 Whirlwind Attack followed up with a Headbutt.

Crinn.7864:

Ashantara.8731:

I don’t want to be forced to practice each class

I tap keeps all the time…
Here are some reasons why….

1. A zerg chased me as a solo roamer and jumped on me. (ghost thief tap them, kill them as they chase, jump on them back)

2. I want bags and want to follow the zerg tail but can’t be bothered changing map, tap keep for 10 minutes to summon a zerg.

3. Big SM fight going on, I want some bags but don’t want to get caught in the lag, tap keep, hover between spawn and keep picking off the stragglers trying to run back.

4. I’m bored and want to see if I can get more than 15 people continually wasting their time chasing and checking keep, bonus points if they arm siege.

5. I’m with a gank group and we want to see how many we can hold up in their spawn.

6. Sometimes I could be a Quaggan breaking into a keep in search for more Quaggans…. (pic1)

7. I’m trying to bait a Grub inside your base…(pic2)

I want some Goku hair, but for humans/norns/asura/sylvari and not just charr.

Wait, they voted no for profession mmr? kitten PvP community, your destroying yourself.

No, he’s just using an escapegoat…..

Players voted “No” to locking classes at the start of the game and that’s it.

We can still have better matchmaking, we can still have Profession MMR if Anet wants to give it to us.

Hardly paraphrasing. Anet darn near said that profession based mmr is possible, as well as an array of other matchmaking options will be made available if we had profession locked queueing.

Only reason people voted “No” is because they wanted a choice to swap classes. Yet only 1 person swaps to that secondary class once every 3 games.

Absolutely nothing stopping them from giving us profession mmr (whichever class they are on when the game begins) or fixing the matchmaking.

Are you saying Anet should have just implemented professiom based queueimg wothout player consent? If so then I agree 100%. Have class swapping in unrank.

If you’re saying that MM should just start labeling player’s professions with mmr rating regardless, only to have that class swap to a completely different class beginning of the map, will defeat the entire purpose of profession based mmr. Matchmaking would be worse and players would deliberately queue with low mmr professions.

They should do a lot of things without our consent but no that’s not what I’m saying… You also misread what I said about the start of the match. When the game begins, it should be off that class that is being used.

BUT

If they really wanted to deliver profession MMR, the first step would have been to fix the matchmaking and then propose changes to it… People didn’t trust being locked into a 3 thief team vs a 4 dh team and we can clearly see this is still happening in season 6. (bullet dodged I guess)

IF

They had a reliable matchmaking before asking us if we wanted a more technical MM with locked in classes, I’m positive the vote would have been more in favor of yes

BUT KNOWING

Anet is a company that needs to apply its resources in a smart way, it’s better for them to cater their time to paying customers in PvE rather than to a small portion of the PvP population who most likely never spends money.

WHICH IS WHY

I can understand the poll being delivered in a poor way to favor a No (less work).

(It’s one of the many forms of manipulation you come across in business management, this one in particular is called Media Manipulation: is a series of related techniques in which partisans create an image or argument that favours their particular interests)

Thus concludes, don’t use the players as a scapegoat. If Anet wanted those things for us, we would have them. They are really good programmers/encoders but they are also a business that needs to make an income, doing this profession mmr generates 0 income as opposed to a new LS map.

(If you can make a small portion of people happy for free or make a large portion of people happy and make a million bucks for the same time spent, what would you choose?)

Some names you just can’t have…. Like this one. I wanted to PvP and go on a rampage so it would say “(refer to pic) is on a Rampage”….

(Anet was quick on this one the cheeky quaggans, tried to make it a day after elections)

Might Signet > Headbutt > Berserk > Arc Slice.
Might Signet > Headbutt > 100B > Berserk (for taunt and quickness > Arc slice.

If a car runs out of petrol, you put petrol in it, you don’t add a spoiler and say “fixed”. If matchmaking is broken, you fix it, you don’t add a poll to put on a bunch of spoilers so to speak and act surprised when people rather the core issue fixed first…..

And like they said, if we say yes then they can work on better match making… Bribery. Blaming players for Anets choice… Scapegoat.

Natto.5819:

Also, why are tier 2 Gold players on same team as top 20 players?

Because rating is accurate and matchmaking works perfect.

Matchmaking puts 2 ESL players with 3 silvers to fight 5 Gold…. We then tell those 5 Gold players they are where they belong because they couldn’t fight off ESL players, that rating is accurate and matchmaking is working fine because the match was even-ish…..

Most people only know the matchmaking is broken because they take the time to check the players/leaderboards, if a tool came out to show EVERYONE how broken the match making is, it would be really bad for us players and the company.

Unbind Legendaries?

They are account bound aren’t they?

My request would be Boxing Gloves….

Generation 1 legendaries only become account bound upon equipping them. You can buy/sell them on the TP.

So you don’t want them to be sellable or you want G2 Legendaries to be sellable?

(I’m all for G2 legendaries to be on TP, I used a credit card to buy my 5+ Legendaries, Nightfury, Foefire collection, Mists weapon collection, volcanus, infinite light, Mjolnir and so on and would buy some of those too)

I have to agree with others on this one….

At first I had a really cheap laptop when I bought this game but couldn’t play WvW properly so I updated my PC and played WvW for years until the server merger… Now my Wireless Hotspot connection through my Phone is not enough to account for the players since the server merger and I can’t WvW until the modem I ordered 3 weeks ago is delivered, have been in PvP for the last how ever long…. Point is, upgrade your stuff and play the modes you can play until you do upgrade.

Thankfully my boons were still supporting Mid but otherwise I wasn’t sure what to do in this situation…. (16 minute dishonor + bleed timers if I relogged)

Side note: Skyhammer has bugs everywhere…. Teleporter to platform gets you stuck in walls, The 2 tower things next to mid point a guardian can pull you inside walls, after hammer activation there’s no white swords on conquest icons up top to indicate the point is contested and so on….

Can we please trial Celestial Amulet for 2 weeks in Unranked?

Has been a lot of changes since its removal…

Oh wow… This happened to me last season (and i feared it happening this season too), as Silver I fought the top 20 players but the only response you’ll find on these forums is usually “you are where you belong, rating is accurate”….

Still can’t believe in the first week, an accurate rating has already been debunked, thought they would have fixed it by now otherwise rating = nothing.

Need that hard cap on matches, it was suggested heaps last season….

Loop.8106:

I went 6-4 in my placements where 2 of the 4 losses were 4v5 games. I ended up at 1654 rating. Just a couple games later I’m sitting at 1758. Placements only count kitten much. Just keep playing and you’ll get to where you’re supposed to be.

I went 6-4 with 1 game as a rager/afk/leaver and was put Gold 1….

Reading your post and placement and comparing to my results, I’m not going to bother with this season…. This season is just luck again.

Your placements depends slightly on where you are last season. Loop was plat+ and you were silver-gold so obviously you placed around where you’re supposed to be with a 6-4 score. Also yes there’s some luck involved in placements but placements are like… worthless in the overall scheme of things since you could place really high but be bad and just keep losing or place really low and climb really easily since you’re good (eg. helseth).

Nah I’m definitely a Gold player, not good but not bad either….. I did all my placements on a D/D Lightning Rod Ele build and held my own really well, some games I went 18/0 but my rating on who I versed was pure luck.
