Paarthurnax.8931

Shortbow 5 leaves you with 4 initiative points.

Silver 3 is like the bottom of it all since Bronze is just people that are with Decay status.

A wild but pretty close guess would be like this:

Silver > Don't know how to play yet

Gold > Can play their class but don't know how to play the gamemode.

Low Plat > They're evolving, know a little bit of rotations and looking at the map

Mid plat > Players that are competitive and actually trying

High plat/legendary are just duo q mid plats that plays the minimum games possible to stay high rank on off hours where there is no competition

Guys, stop being so negative, we have a new balance patch coming next year! Have some patience will ya? It's just around the corner, probably by Easter or something!

Bah, que bacana! Convida ai, meu nick ta ai do lado!

The proposition is mainly meant to give the higher rated players more fun in playing PvP and to attract some old players back. So in line with what other people said: low rating players have 0 reasons to vote in this matter. Low rating in this case starts at Gold2 I'd say.

You're clearly delusional. Anyways, won't waste my time arguing with you, duoQ will benefit only strong duos, so not your case.

No evidence, it's the contrary for certain because most of the people who vote yes to duo queue don't are 1600+, a official pool with high rating players would probably be no for duo Q.

How longer until a fix comes through? It's very annoying for every class that has a teleport, especially thief and mesmer.

rip top 250 to you mr.pewpew

Someone who gets it!

Nerf p/p, then condi and then lets all go vault spammer like our friend on top 5 and get ready emotionally for the next nerf.

D/P is down, rifle too, what's next? make your bets.

You still can DUO though, I like our current system, would be better if they don't let players above 1500 rating to duo, that way, gold players that made into plat will just bounce between gold and plat, don't affecting too much the people who play for the LB.

I don't mind a 5v5 premade gamemode as long as it has it separate leaderboards and queue, because if they mix the LB together, it will not reflect skill, will be a mix of good players and friends.

You shouldn't have used the boost if thats your first time playing gw2, now you will not have a clear sight of what to do next because you don't know alot about the game and hasn't experienced things.

You should try putting your engineer in a halt and level a new character, it could be a new engineer or any other class. And live the world, go wherever you wanna go. When I first started playing I took 1 month to reach 80, I would do map completion, wvw, pvp, anything I felt doing at that time. Level doesn't mean much, you will see, there will be a point where you can level any char to 80 with the 2903821938 scrolls and 291398 tomes you will have.

The loss of SB kills it for me, but it's a very good build for 1v1.

On mid/high plat division we get mostly the same players on the match so we know what each other run and known them by name.

Anyways, people on plat doesnt know how to dodge so I hope those thiefs keep running it and spamming 3-3-3, I like to see people reactions on forums.

And if anyone is wondering, this is the build:

rip thief, mirage and scourge on next balance patch

thank god each balance patch takes 2/3 months

I tried a p/p build with power/condi, a hybrid. It kills fast too but we can't unload our downed targets to death so we gotta get close to execute, but its fun cause you can actually die with it, who doesn't love gambles?!

This build is pretty broken now, especially because people on plat division or bellow doesnt know how to dodge.

[https://youtube.com/watch?v=tdREqwNTQuo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdREqwNTQuo "https://youtube.com/watch?v=tdREqwNTQuo")

Get on the bandwagon before the next balance patch hits and we received the next nerf cause who doesn't hate thieves, right?!

But jokes aside, that sword and dagger nerf was retarded, even pistol autoattack now crits more.

I thank god that they do one balance patch each 2~3 months now cause who knows what nerf they will put on thief next LOL.

Jokes aside, a balance patch each 2~3 months are unacceptable for a pvp gamemode, that means we have to endure mirage/scourge until next balance patch that will probably be in a month or two. So I hope that people spam this retarded thief build until our next nerf my friends.

rip pvp

rip thief

rip mesmer

and rip scourge

coming to you

in a month ;)

Thief is nerfed pvp only too.

I think you will be safe, but if you have the possibility, would be better log in to check, I don't know if decay counts by the last time you played or by the gw2 reset time.

I don't know if everyone will agree but ending the season on new year seems kinda wrong because its a date that alot of people travel and doesn't log in to play.

I am one of them, and probably will get decay. I don't take pvp seriously since the earlier seasons, I just do my placement matches a week before the season ends so I can get the platinum badge cause I think it looks cool.

But I don't think I will be able to this season, my rating is 1600, my worries is that the decay will put me in gold, the only solution I see is play on my notebook that can barely run Gw2, but thats a loss guarantee for me and my teammates.
