> Please don't complain about having to actually play the game and participate in the releases. You still get something from the tier 1, you just won't get full rewards. It's not asking for much to actually go out there and play the maps when they come out and pressing F on a few Mastery points.

I want to play the game doing the things I enjoy doing in the game. If a mastery was locked behind PvP ranked or wvw I doubt you'd have the same response.

I don't like open world and unlocking masteries, but I wanted to play strike missions to discover I can't even get any rewards without the living world masteries.

Why is the reward itself mastery gated? Isn't not getting the pylon buffs not good enough of a reason to get masteries? I have literally no reason to go do strikes despite wanting to. This is the first time a closed raid-like instance rewards are blocked by something like this.

Seems like bad design, would love clarification - all this is doing is making me dislike the content I would otherwise like.

While sarcastic and exaggerated I think this is close to the truth.

They have to make sure they don't break anything else while fixing stuff.

And this combined with the low priority PvP seems to have, is probably the reason things always take months.

My suggestion would be:

First of all rework all current titles with "Legend" to give the title its prestige back - Seeing literally everyone with legend devalues the word.

Old:

Legendary Champion -> Terror of the Mists

Primordial Legend -> Primordial

Exalted Legend -> Exalted

Illustrious Legend -> Illustrious

Indomitable Legend -> Indomitable

Current:

Merciless Legend -> Merciless Challanger

Ruthless Legend -> Ruthless Challanger

Relentless Legend -> Relentless Challanger

Unyielding Legend -> Unyielding Challanger

Leave Immortal Legend/Legendary Demigod as is.

Shackling wave had it coming. It’s still very good, considering you have decent quickness access. Even without quickness, its ability to hit through terrain (and massive damage) should not be underestimated

I would take that over the dyes.

Consider what you are asking - to be plat - to mean you need to be better than all gold players.

(After all, you want to be considered a plat player, and assuming this rating has any accuracy at all, that should be the meaning of it.)

That means that if you are unable to carry games with players of gold skill, you are not better and thus should not be plat!

Core burst was never mediocre, but I wouldn’t mind small sustain buffs for it to compensate since it wasn’t broken.

Also rev isn’t buffed.

You win some, you lose some. And rating gain or loss is based on which players are you facing.

If you lose 3x than what you gain, its frustrating yes, but means your rating vs enemy rating equals a roughly 3:1 w/l ratio, and if you want to increase your rating overall you need to improve that ratio, or play in prime time vs players of equal skill.

If you can’t accept you’re not always going to climb then you don’t have the nerves for rankings.

Pip system was a meme, where legendary meant “I grinded a bit this season and im not a complete newbie”.

If he had a phone he would obviously be playing diablo immortal right now Keepo

EM is a badly designed trait. Doesn't need unnerf, just a redesign.

Something like this would work:

Whatever rank you get playing only core necro, means that your peformance on core necro is roughly the same as the other players on their meta builds, thus you are not throwing.

You would be throwing though, if you get a higher rank with a better build, say scourge, then start playing core, naturally you won’t perform as you’re expected to.

It doesn’t count. Your 11th match (where you already see the rating) will be your 10th placement.

Even in placements you have rating, you just don’t see it because it goes up/down by like 100 each game and would be super depressing to lose.

Pretty much this.

Start when you feel you know how to make an impact on the match outcome.

For example as spellbreaker it’s a good idea to learn to duel pretty well, aswell as surviving(kiting, jumping puzzles) vs multiple players trying to kill you.

2v2 queues should be implemented as an unranked preference asap. Like SH. But if checked limit party size to 2 obviously.

It’s much better than the old one for sure.

But I agree hotm is mostly a depressing place, and I would make it more like Tarir personally.

Or atleast add some nice looking areas kind of like the fractal lobby JP waterfalls etc.

Assuming you’re not gonna get +1’d necro is a solid 1v1. But cant survive out number thus its not used for it.

I’ve seen this before and was answered by Anet. Goes as follows:

when ever you finish a match, the server looks at your rank to determine if you’re high enough to enter top 250. However it seems it does not do the same to test if you’re supposed to drop out of it.

So you were not in top 250, then that guy lost a match. But the server never tried to check if you’re eligible for top 250, because you did not play a match since.

You dont run faster than outside of combat.

Pay close attention and notice the following:

Out of combat speed: 300

In combat speed: 200

Speed cap: 400

Notice that OOC, getting superspeed isn’t faster than swiftness (easy to notice on rev).

Also inside combat, getting superspeed is same as OOC with swiftness.

OOC with swiftness/super speed: 400

IC with swiftness: 266

IC with SS: 400

Regardless though the benefit should be only on swiftness applied to you..

Edit:

Super speed will be better even in OOC if you are chilled/crippled.

I agree.. something needs to happen for offseason.

Something like no-downstate weekend for wvw could work.

Or anything to freshen things up really. Even a temporary balance patch that makes some ridiculous changes, like buffing unused weapons by 200% and then reverted.

It would be better to target the elite spec itself, because nerfing core pushes back not only pure core, but also HOT builds, most of which are out of the meta since PoF launch.

I generally agree, but specifically what you mentioned on skill coefficient: it is already included in that number.

In fact what that number means is (weapon damage)*(power)*(coefficient)/(armor).

The only mystery is what armor weight its setup against.

And then when you addup to that all your +damage% traits and a crit on top of that it is relatively accurate.

P.S add vulnerability too

Yeah you mean before “endgame of competition” (aka esports) was removed a lot of good players naturally played. What a shocker?

Seasons 1-4 sucked dick once you got to legend and faced only tryhard premades. Will be worse when there’s a leaderboard now and titles for it. Just stop.
