  • Well, its a good thing I never recommended making it EASIER to get glory, and only made a suggestion to make it DIFFERENT. Once again, this idea (using a "participation" measurement rather than purely "points" gained) does not affect botting (for better or worse) and does not affect AFKing (they still get ZIP). So, I have…
  • Yet another reply that didn't read so much as a single word in the OP....
  • It amazes me how many of the responders to this thread did not actually read the OP. Bots/AFKers would still get 0 glory with this suggestion. Because my suggestion, if you ACTUALLY READ the OP, was to reward glory on "participation" instead of "score". Current system: Bot/AFKer will get 0 score, 0 glory. My proposal:…
  • Once again, guys, please stop replying if you don't understand the topic. You are claiming that the system works because a lower gear score player will GET CRUSHED HORRIBLY SEVERAL TIMES and their Elo will lower until they face people with their same gear score. And then, if they start winning in that lower bracket, and…
  • Absolutely false. After 5 matches, it will. Then, after 10 MORE matches, it will start pitting 1+2 vs 3+4 again! Look, if you don't understand Elo, please don't reply to the thread. Elo was made for Chess and other contests where there isn't any secondary factors to winning, its pure skill only. NW PvP has GearScore, a…
  • See note above on how you are also wrong.
  • Incorrect. Teams 1+2's "skill" isn't less just because the game matched them vs Teams 3+4. If their Elo goes down after getting annihilated by Teams 3+4, then they will play against other lower gear teams, and win, and their Elo will go back up, whereupon the game will match them vs the elite teams for more crushing. Its…
  • Glad he got banned.
  • Elo is 100% definitely broken, absolutely verified in-game. Players with 100s of matches (since Elo came out) are ABSOLUTELY being put up against new 60s in blue gear with no elo ranking.
  • It is not gear based at all. Its Elo rank based. And Elo is 100% broken. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?629291-Elo-system-is-malfunctioning
  • Its not based on gear, its based on your win/loss ratio. Elite guilds who are playing lots of games and winning should have a high rating, and never be matched against new lvl 60s.
  • Actually, making them wait forever is good. That will force them to queue solo until Mod 3 when Group Queuing is added. I mean, what that would mean is (to quote Spock), "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Let pre-mades F***G sit there and rot. Not joking.
  • You need to read step 4 again. I'll even retype it: "move DIRECTLY towards the sound spamming an at-will or encounter power that deals damage or CCs." As soon as you get close enough, you get to SEE a stealthed character. Yeah, I know, you never tried, so you didn't know this. SURPRISE! You can see stealthed characters if…
  • Step 1: make sure music and other "distraction sounds" are off. You only want to hear combat sounds Step 2: Actually listen during PvP Step 3: When a rogue attacks from stealth (melee or thrown, doesn't matter) you can actually hear the sound and its DIRECTION. It will work with speakers, but its better with…
  • Have you tried accessing the AH from a low-population zone? /bind f6 GenAddWindow Auction_Root
  • In DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online), a Rogue with the Assassin prestige class can assassinate a target from stealth and stay stealthed. Just FYI, and thats just one other video game I actively play. I'm sure there are more.
  • I think I heard him say that a possibility they are considering is to, in essence, make rogues "more detectable" (i.e. visible from slightly farther away) when they attack from stealth (but no change if they are not attacking). They even indicated that it may only apply to their target, not the whole enemy team. This makes…
  • It amazes me how many people don't know how to directly attack stealthed rogues. They may be invisible, but they aren't silent...
  • Gold Spammers and Bots are two different things, with two different solutions. Gold Spammers: Remove access to Zone, LFG, and Trade unless the account (not character) has more than 1 hour /played time. Bots: There are two methods which should be used simultaneously: 1. Record all player activity. Look for repetition of…
  • As an HR, perma-stealth TRs are easy kills. As in, I end the fight at > 50% health.
  • I didnt say client crash. I said "kicked from PvP". i.e. Queue for PvP Get pop Accept teleport into Domination match appear in arena all of a sudden, you are travelling again You are back in PE You are BANNED from all queues for 30 minutes. This has to be hotfixed today.
  • This response does not address the initial post of this thread. He was kicked from a PvP match due to a game bug, and was banned from all queues for 30 minutes. What are you doing to address this?
  • FYI, that link is not a link to all /commands. Its a link to only Chat commands.
  • I have no problems beating GWFs unless they just heal for a crazy amount.... which is history with the new patch. So, I expect to be owning GWFs much more easily now.
  • There is no such thing as "open world PvP". There is PvP (structured in some way and balanced), and there is "ganking people because you have no skill", sometimes referred to as "open world PvP".
  • Queue times do not need to go up if the matchmaking works like this: Say you have 10 people queued with these scores (using 1000 as max score in my example): 999 998 997 996 995 115 114 113 112 111 You can start this match. The match starts like this: - take top 5: split into top 2, and bottom 3 - take bottom 5: split into…
  • You should delay the leaver penalty. First, release the Elo Ranking system, and let it run for at least a month or two. During this time, fix every crash, disconnect, and other issue which can negatively impact the Leaver penalty. Then, once Elo is established, and the disconnect issues are resolved, you can evaluate a…
  • You know GWFs are overpowered when they complain about not being able to kill someone. As in: "WTF, why didnt I just 1 shot you? Are you hacking? If I can't kill your whole team, you must be cheating somehow." And: "FFS, I hate Rangers, they always get away." (Real comments from a GWF last night in PvP)
  • They could modify the game client to send MAC Address to the server in every packet. Then, when an account gets banned, that MAC Address is also banned. No further connections from that MAC Address would be allowed. Let them buy a new PC every 10 seconds, see how that works out.
  • Im level 1, and there are no such "exp" tasks. How do you level from 1 to 2?
