What is the average skill rating? (Im guessing around 1300, but no idea). Is the ranking structured like a bell curve? (getting that impression given plat players always complaining about wait times).

Was in the middle of a PVP match about two hours ago. Suddenly a 1400 ping and disconnect. Now I can't connect at all. Did some speed tests and other random stuff on the internet for last two hours without any problems. Seems to only be GW2. But is it everyone?

Getting the same from Australia.

So alliances isn't going to happen at all?

A blade of grass on an otherwise flat surface = 0 damage. I basically don't use it unless I am in melee range. Fortunately, I feel Hammer 3 does a little too much damage (along with it's utility). Otherwise I would seriously be considering re rolling a differ class.

I wonder if I will be frequently getting stuck in walls in 2020.

Bravery. In a video game. You kids need to go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine.

I am not sure if I am doing it wrong, but it seems like templates are severely bugged right now. They seem like more of a hindrance than a useful tool. Maybe should have waited until they were functioning correctly?

Not interested in Living World. In fact I kind of despise it much of what it brings. Maybe if it was a reveal and release date of WvW Factions.

Buff mechanics that require more than one click IE combo fields and nerf one click abilities.

Interesting. I guess we should open BG.

Yes. They have won 152 times and lost 188 times. They also lost season 2. It's not the same server it was back in the glory days though.

Lances are better for sPVP.

I prefer the idea of moving BG to EU servers. That would be intriguing.

10,000 rank, 500,000 kill and at least 25,000 yaks slapped. Until you have done that, you are just a WvW pleb.

Nothing really. It's a 7 year old game. I don't really expect much other than alliances.

Yeah I have probably had it pretty good with teammates. I mean in League of Legends it was every game. I have noticed there are alot of bots in game. The other thing is speed hackers (there are several necros I get matched with regularly that warp and outrun me even when I have superspeed and they don't even have swiftness).

I have played ~350 games this season. Most of them have been pleasant. I have had maybe 15 games with toxic / abusive teammates. And I have noticed that most of those seem to be duo queue. Anyone else noticed this?

Returning player. Before I left I was touring various servers. Looking to get back into it but the server I am on is dieing and looking for somewhere more active. Most of my old contacts are on Blackgate. This isn't intentionally a meme thread. Bonus question: Does ONS/TW (Axis of Insurrection alliance?) still play or their guild/guild leaders? PS I can't believe this game is seven years old. Feels like just yesterday everyone was bandwaggoning from SOS to JQ to BG. So many awesome people met along the way. So many epic commanders.

We need more PvE in WvW as well. I would love some mini bosses like Wyverns to fight with unique mechanics. Maybe throw in some of the raid bosses like Gorsevaal and Vale Guardian!

It's usually the guy that's raging that is the problem. Not just in this game. Every game I have ever played. It's the big mouth criticizing everyone else that is the weak link 95% of the time.

Plant all of your alternate characters at the wood node in Malchors leap. Equip gathering tools that yield unbound magic. Cycle through your alt characters every hour (they respawn ~once per hour).

~13k hours in game. 1 precursor dropped in WvW (Chaos Gun).

Confirmed. Was able to do map completion on some characters today. Was funny tunring up to each skillpoint and seeing 10+ people there getting theirs done as well :p

I can load into WvW with duplicate utility skills, IE 2 x Quickening Zephyr. I have screenshots. Recently worked on map completion, 3 skill points won't work: Brisbane Wildlands - Skill point at Hidden lakePlains of Ashford - SKill point at Tela RangeFireheart Rise - Skill point at Burnt Hollow.From memory, all three require you to interact and fight the hero. I attempted to bypass this by doing all map completion. I then purchased Notarized scroll of Heroics from WvW. These give the indication that skill points have been unlocked (but it does not indicate which ones, which they usually do) and when returning to Tyria they haven't unlocked any skill points and map completion has not progressed.
