Guild Wars 2

How the kitten are you losing money on one of the best pvp mechanics out there?

Nurture that kitten! You have no idea. The only reason people still play spvp is because the mechanic is good but the implementation is horrible. Easy fix!

Tell your boss. Stand up to them. Look at LOL DOTA etc. They are dancing around spvp in gw2 because they know they have something and how to work it. Meanwhile you invested time and effort to make a kitten game and you are seriously kittenting the bed with what you have created.

It’s becoming a huge circle of giving feedback seeing little to no result, angry comments, then people saying we should calm down and give productive feedback and it starts over again.

I want to be positive, but I don’t think ANET will act on anything big in pvp until it hits rock bottom. So I say we keep giving our angry feedback and throw keep speaking out till we see some action or real effort on their part equal to Tequatl and Super Adventure Box. I think it’s complement to see angry posts because it means that people love the game, and would like to see it head in the right direction.

I was wondering if this would boost pvp. Many don’t have TS and those that do have a huge advantage. I believe adding ingame voice or at least if GW2 promoted some TS/Mumble/Vent plugin that it would help boost pvp players to learn good practices faster.

Many people have asked about my current build so I made this video and posted the build on MetaBattle if anyone is interested in checking it out.

I think a simple update to the friends list would be amazing and probably not to tough to implement. Mostly I SPvP and do some WvW. I’ve come across many great people who I want to tpvp/group with. I however do not remember all their names or account names or main class etc.

Right now it’s just a list of people, many of which I don’t remember why I added them. If I could make named folders for say tpvp and maybe even below that class folders that would be awesome!

Please fix/add this!

Thief:

• Critical Strikes 15 – Opportunist. Increased trigger chance to 50%. Increase cooldown from 1s to 5s.

I feel this is going to be a huge factor. 1s to 5s is a huge gap. I see where you are going with initiative changes but I would say 5s is too long of a wait for that initiative return. Many thieves may not know it but this is where they can regain a ton of initiative if they keep s/b going when not in melee combat.

Please consider changing this to 2-3 seconds!

I like the daily to try out new classes. Its honestly one of the first times I’ve dusted off an ele or tried out another class. Its a good thing for the most part.

I thought a simple add on that could add some depth would be to add this function of allowing teams to stay together and go into teamque after a solo/hotjoin match perhaps. This way if you like a team you can continue on. I think it’s simple and could add depth.
This feature will fill up tpvp a bit more and could help make new teams instead of playing once and never seeing that team again. It might help with making more pvp friends at your level. Or the simple option to add some teammates as a friend.

Guys, guys… all is (maybe not) vain.

You guys should start a thread with software requirements, and workflow (from queueing to getting into a match), that you feel are ideal. cough

This is how it usually is. You want input from us and suggestions and good ideas. But its a one way street. How can we have discussions if there isn’t a lot of back and forth and openness about what going on.

Congratulations on being a worthless imbecile!

My hopes have been dashed. Stuff like this will make the thread a magnet for whining and intensify the giant shouting match, exactly what you claimed to be against. If you really want to improve the community, you’ll step away from the thread (or more likely, it will be closed by mods).

Show me a post that has improved the community and has had a real result in change of anykind for spvp.

How do you plan to make pvp more approachable to a solo player?

Do you have plans to balance out soloq further? ie. Less of a slot machine likelyhood for a win/loss

I spend more time scoping the forums for a glimmer of a brighter future than I do playing pvp anymore……

We’re all guinea pigs.

No Gov No Balance

Can we get some input from an ANET dev on this?

BLU’s doing a kitten good job. No one’s perfect but I believe BLU is getting better at his craft. Give em some constructive criticism or go make a shoutcast to rival his if you want something different.

Thank you. These upcoming changes sound great and really help when it comes to building a stronger pvp community. I would like to add a few more suggestions ankitten ot sure where to submit them.

One huge suggestion would be to make a better friends list. One big thing harming me when forming teams is that I cant keep track of friends character names and account names and on top of that what classes I think they are strongest at. I know there is nicknames but that isn’t enough.

Friends List Suggestions

- Add option to create groups of friends
- Let me know what class each player is using currently in a column (not just hover)
- It would be great to see what class each person has used the most in tpvp
- Ranks ingame on friends list instead of outside on the website

These may not sound important but even applying one of these changes would be huge to helping form a team and remembering who each person is and what their strengths are.
