We have the fix for this in QA as of this morning.

We will try to get the fix in before next weekly reset

Guild Wars thread so I won’t go too far into it but, this is the same way PVP was before as well.
Currently we’re mid-PVP rework with more features coming though.
We know it’s more fun to compete with and against friends.

Yep!

I often paraphrase or summarise because I don’t have time to go into the specifics if they’ve already been posted by other players or myself in the past. Not great for anyone new to the discussion sometimes, but anyone who is that deep in it knows what I’m referring to, otherwise I will take the time to try to expand on things.

EDIT: I always go into the details when reporting to the team. Thought I’d add this as I realised the above comment could be taken that I paraphrase when reporting too.

Ooh, you team build a bit differently to me, I’m always trying to avoid putting mythic troops near the front, I’ll have to try some of these out to see how they work for me.

I have a great Lord of Slaughter team with him at the front though, found it really fun to play with.

I’ll be back with some teams to post “soon TM” (very busy at work so holding off for a bit)

Hey, I really want to apologise for the wait time on your ticket.

I went to check its status and I see it falls into a lower priority request type and there is a bit of a wait time on these.

It’s Thursday here now, and we still have quite a few higher priority requests we need to resolve before the weekend so we’ll endeavor to get back to you next week.

I’ve also bumped up the request for this to be something players can do in game themselves instead of needing assistance from customer experience.

Thanks for your patience!

I feel this one in my bones. I really want this too. This is the sort of request that is easier to say yes to because it’s a UI/Usability request so hopefully we can have a positive outcome with this one.

We are looking at allowing PVP Goals to be collected individually so that you can pick up a booster when you’re ready to use it.

Hey let’s keep it constructive, this is a thread for people to come for help.
I’ve edited your post.

^ answer here in your post

I think what I’d love to see on the side of the whole to nerf or not to nerf discussion that would be actually really awesome would be a thread in the Guides section where everyone contributes Teams to counter the Stellarix/Wand of Stars meta and other looping Teams.

Obviously this is a whole thing that needs to be addressed in some way (I have my fingers crossed those 2 changes in PVP will sort it out enough), but it would also be really cool to see real practical help from the community in the meantime for people (most people) struggling fighting against this team.

Honestly it would also be sorta wholesome.

The fact is you’re all fantastic team builders especially when you work together and I love to see it.

HOO BOY - I wrote a lot - sorry in advance for the read time on this one - classic Kafka wall of text posting.

You’re using an endgame crafted only Troop and 2 Mythics and a fully levelled Hero Class. This is not what I would consider an easy strategy for most players. Just throwing this perspective in the mix.

It’s good you’re sharing your strategy though for other players with those things, it’s really helpful in these sorts of discussions!!!

I can probably offer up another team as well later when I have time with less mythics on it. Although tbh I feel like sometimes I have more trouble collecting Legendaries ...

Hey, you may have noticed how much we’re engaging in the PVP and Guild Wars feedback lately - this is the direction we’re heading in regarding communication about feedback - as time permits.

I recently found this blog post from a game dev (who doesn’t work for us - so this is a generalisation) that explains some of the difficulties:

I think I found what’s causing the issue and I left notes for the team.
It was an unexpected interaction with another system.

So we currently don’t need any further info.

Thanks everyone

@Sylwani @Risa do you remember the names of the players who should have finished above you?

The issue isn’t that they’re getting the reward/placement in someone else’s ladder at all.
They’re placing correctly in their own ladder.

The issue the ladder isn’t being displayed correctly it seems.

So everything is running exactly as expected on the game server but the people reporting this issue aren’t being shown what the server is saying.

Either way though you need to be able to see what is actually happening correctly.
I just wanted to clarify this isn’t caused by ...

Hi all,

Just a reminder that applications for the 7.5 Beta will be closing in the next 1-2 days, so if you are keen to play some of the PVP changes before they’re released and give us feedback please send your application ASAP.

We’d also like to strongly encourage anyone below level 1,000 who wants to join us in beta to sign up as well.

If you know a lower level player who might be interested please share the link to this thread with them.

Thanks!

I’m sure the OP knew this and thought they had all 3 traits unlocked and just made a simple mistake.

It’s also easy to misremember details like whether or not you’d traited something or taken some other action and what the timing of it was when you’re potentially playing hundreds of battles across different game modes etc.

Mistakes like this aren’t a reflection on anyone’s knowledge, experience, skill level or credibility.

We’re all only human after all

INTERESTING. There is no way you could have placed anywhere but 1st in your bracket with the scores I’m looking at.

I also checked to see if anyone in your league was banned for cheating as that would cause their scores to be wiped but no one was banned.

Do you remember who was listed as 1st or 2nd?
Wondering if this info might help the team.

I’ll also go revive the bug report so we can check if maybe there’s a regression issue with the fix.

I checked the logs and you were rank 15 in your League. The relegation zone is rank 24.
If you are actively trying to drop out of Diamond, could you please get a screenshot at the end of the week of your rank and share it with us if you don’t end up where you expected again?

It will help us determine if the League board isn’t being displayed correctly again.
On the server side your score and rank are correct, so this could indicate a display issue.

44 Battles were played before the Cartographer had any Traits unlocked.

Hey all, can we please keep the Gem and Cosmic Dragon drop rate feedback separate from the PVP thread? If you want both sets of feedback to be more easily seen by the team it’s better to keep them separate so that they can come to the PVP thread for PVP feedback and Dragon drop rate thread for dragon drop rates. The drop rate has nothing to do with PVP so doesn’t belong in this thread- don’t fight me - I know Stellarix is making PVP more difficult but increasing the dragon drop rate/adding duplicate protection is not how we’re going to fix PVP.

Cheers and have a great weekend.

Hi all,

Bramble and I have been furiously typing up a report on all the feedback given here so the team can look it over next week. Nimhain has also been popping in to read what’s being said.

We will keep tracking new feedback and discussions happening here, and the discussion has been really great so far.

Thanks all so much for taking the time to discuss this together at such length and in such detail, it’s really constructive and useful information.

We’re so happy we can involve you in this so early on.

If you celebrate it have a great Easter weekend, and if not, just have a great weekend!
