with TA abt to be removed soon (not that it really matter considering that TA is almost dead mentioned by anet) the only way one could get glad points is by playing RA. The last 3 days playing RA was a torture. Almost half the time i was paired with a dervish using hundred blades and healing ritualist casting retribution on the team. If i leave the team i get dishonored, if i refuse to leave and stop doing damage when i got paired with a sin casting restful breeze and attacking a dervish at the same time i got reported for "leeching".

total amount of glad pts i got for the past 3 days playing 6hrs a day? 5. This is a ridiculous grind and it rewards people a trophy in HOM either through syncing or people with stupid builds playing against others with equally stupid builds.

Agreed straight up lol. Even tho RA fails its still a bullshit grind.

muhahaha · Oct 13, 2009, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Play monk and carry your teammates if they are mediocre.
If they are good, easy 10 wins.
If they are bad, dont heal and fast games.
Win, win and win!

harpharp · Oct 13, 2009, 05:24 AM // 05:24

thats the problem, even if you monk and refuse to heal the team after knowing that your team damage build is silly you will get reported for " leeching" and you end up wasting your time to do RA and have to switch to do something else. If you think thats bad enough

, try having assholes who refused to resign, cast stoneflesh aura, and run around until the timer is over opponents team couldnt kill the runner cos their team ran an equally silly build like a ranger bringing tank skills without any damage.

lol. Earn your trophy. If that's all the glad points u got from ra, you're doing it wrong. And i would like to hear your definition of "stupid" when you're talking about the stupid builds. I'm guessing you're probably replacing the word "effective".

harpharp · Oct 13, 2009, 05:28 AM // 05:28

so since you say my way of getting glad points from ra is wrong, can i know what other solutions u suggest? attempting to sync as well which is against the Eula, or any other tricks to it?

you have a healing ritualist running retribution and a ranger running pure tanking skills, that isn't good enough for you to classify it as stupid?

Shayne Hawke · Oct 13, 2009, 05:38 AM // 05:38

Improve your own skill and find folks you can sync with. The requirements for the title have no reason to change.

Also, I think it is a really good idea to use the proper subforum for making suggestions, since you might find threads like *LINK* that already talk about this.

Saph · Oct 13, 2009, 06:04 AM // 06:04

You want the title, earn it. Its as simple as that.

Bob Slydell · Oct 13, 2009, 06:41 AM // 06:41

Just live with the req, work on it... get it up there and place it.

Martin Alvito · Oct 13, 2009, 06:49 AM // 06:49

Like it's hard to crank out 400 glad points. Honestly.

I facestomp people with unique snowflake builds without really working at it. Takes me about a day to find 15-20 win builds. It can't be that hard if you're willing to suck it up and play the wiki build of the week.

Play better builds and play better.

Ben-A-BoO · Oct 13, 2009, 06:51 AM // 06:51

It's one of those titles that are hard to earn within a single month.
It's one of those titles you should stay away from if you don't 'enjoy' the way to get there (aka RA/TA).
It's one of those titles that are not overly prestigious and no reason to dump it further.

If you can't stand the format do something else.
Good Luck

A) Wrong forum.
B) Spell-checker.

With 2 days in a DOUBLE POINTS WEEK END ?? :/ :/ :/

Can't be bothered to get r5 gladiator, it just takes way too much, plus I just do it casually anyway. But honestly, this weekend I got 10 wins on my monk only once, and even that gave me 6 glad, in freaking 20 minutes xD

here's the secret to winning: stop being bad

really there's nothing wrong with ra just leave the ones that don't end right away with the one person who refuses to leave and "pretend" play if you think you'll get reported on others

how does being good or bad helps if your running a decent build but others running tanking builds? can u win matches all by yourself?? so i am bad because i run a decent generic build but others ran builds made for tanking and i am supposed to be at fault? yes i could "pretend" play which is what i am doing at the moment but still doesn't change the fact i wasted my time playing matches that have no hope of winning.

wow at the posters who tell me how "bad" i am. Guess i shld switch back to playing healing breeze wammos and got glad pts in this way to show that i am "good"

Reflect · Oct 13, 2009, 09:28 AM // 09:28

gladi is pretty easy and unprestigious title...
u need less than a month of dedicated RA-ing to get r3 or even r4...

There's a big difference between having a good build and playing a good build well. If during 18 hours of RA - mostly on a double weekend - you only got 5 points, then I am forced to conclude you are terrible. Read around and actually improve your skill with various builds and you should accumulate g3 in pretty short order.

you have not even seen me play, how do you conclude i am terrible? the build i am running is typical generic, its simple pressing 4/5 button to spike. It takes no skill and is almost impossible to "fail" playing that build, just like playing escape dagger rangers when it was active. Can one actually "fail" playing escape dagger rangers? I dont click my skills too for the record. However, most of the time, i get either pair with no monks or players running builds that does absolutely nothing other then staying alive. That means i am bad? oh for the record, i did make some friends in HA and got r2 from r0 playing some hrs in the last HA double fame weekend and even got to HOH with screenshots to proof, does that make me good?

Ha is a joke atm, and 75pts during x2 is 75/2pts gained in some hours? doesn't seem really good to me. And getting to hoh isn't that amazing serioulsy ... And if you think it is, that really show your skills atm.

Just practice more, you will be better in no time with some dedication. Welcome to pvp.
