Nuff said

Because EEEEESSSSSPPPOOOOOOORRRRRRTSSSSSSS!!!!

Cuz skyhammer is the best map eva!

Nooo …. please no more skyhammer. Why are you guys doing this to us? All the pain and suffering! Dont you think that enough is enough?

I guess that crowd control is not balanced between the classes, but skyhammer really isn’t that bad, it feels like people don’t want to stay away from edges but still complain when they fall off :P

1,000,001 times this question has been asked…utter silence from Anet.

Really, take Skyhammer/Spirit Watch out of solo q.

Due to the mechanics of both those maps, should be listed on there own. So if you want to play skyhammer you can but are not forced too against your will.

it’s pretty simple…our opinions can’t be trusted and are just completely wrong. Just because we have multiple surveys showing how much it’s hated, that doesn’t prove anything. Allie one time passed a guy in the Anet cafeteria that said he liked it, so it must mean that almost everyone likes it…and we’re just wrong…

Skyhammer is a disease and needs to be cut out of the rotation. However, Spirit Watch just needs some tweaking. They need another objective to off set the power of orb runner builds. Temple is one of those maps that I really like, because there are alternate methods of spiking your point gain. They should really look into how that map works and try to assimilate some of those ideas into Spirit Watch.

Skyhammer is completely balanced.

Doesn’t matter. A-Net still thinks the majority like the map. Besides that some of them think they are gods of creativity and brilliance and would never be able to give in that this map is just a complete threat and they made a fault.
Sorry mate, not gonna happen.

I mean, if you are gonna make a crappy version of super-smash bros, at least drop insta-kill hammers that allow me to smash-away for a few seconds.

Bonus points if you can add this music too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcrLkwIfXLU

I would ask that you take a look at the video at 1:00 in. I knock a guy off the map through the wall, without line of sight.

Also, take a look at the myriad of stealth pulls.

CC doesn’t care about positioning. If you’re CC’d, you can’t position yourself. Skyhammer is build so that there are ways to fall off EVERYWHERE. It’s why the map is terrible and playing builds like the one in my OP is possible.

if they remove the glass panels I’d be ok with the map. I can position myself to not get knocked off the map, but it’s those 1,200 range pulls + immobilize and you have 1 second to break the stun, clear the condi, and get off the glass? Most classes don’t have a stun break + condi clear that have a combined cast time of less than 1 second….

Cause anet doesn’t care pvp players will always be bottom tier plebs

Maybe I would get the gist of how you felt more if you would drop more eff-bombs and talk about which appendages it sucked on more. Maybe then I would understand how you truly felt.

@Arenanet

I dare you to use this as a promotional video.

I’m just gonna throw this out there and see what happens.
What if all your CC abilities were disabled on Skyhammer and instead they only dealt damage alone and not the CC?

launches, pulls, pushes and knock-backs are the worst on Skyhammer (including fear).
I don’t think stuns or knockdowns are nearly as frightening because it just leaves you in place rather than sending you flying off the edge. Sure your opponent could lure you over to a glass panel and stun you on top of it, but it’s a little less BS than anything else.

But like every1 else, i agree it shouldn’t be in solo queue at all, because as soon as people see it, they instantly switch to troll mode… :P etc etc.

This map in itself drove me away from soloQ into teamQ.

Just like 95% of the players I meet in teamQ (who are also soloQing).

ANet outdid themselves ignoring player feedback on this issue. Bravo!

Can’t watch from my phone but I hope it’s not a video of me getting punkt on skyham but I bet it is

The commentary…my thoughts exactly..

But you should update the OP to explain the use of foul language, who knows about the forums dictators anymore :p

But you know them….they “don’t have enough data to confirm the community does not want this map in rotation”

I can’t find the exact quote, but they did in fact say something like that

Because no one thought clearly about it while designing the map – I swear they where on drugs and now if they would tell u, they would get fired.

The funny thing is the map was designed without glass panels and some genius (Sharp or Peters) thought that adding the glass panels would make for exciting game play.

This is why you keep quake players far away from designing MMO’s.

cuz anet feel so proud making this map , but in fact is such a fcuccking kittenttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

I absolutely hate this map.

Why is Skyhammer so bad?
Why are Warriors so broken?
Why does decap engie exist?
Why Dhuumfire?
Why is stealth such a broken mechanic?

These are all the result of bad design decisions. There is only one logical conclusion.

1 thread with about 50 posters = they don’t put in perplexity runes.
5000 threads with hundreds upon hundreds of posters = they won’t get rid of skyhammer.

Where is the logic

you want logic? kitten yourself!

This reminds me of Warlocks and Green Fire in WoW… they are intentionally ignoring us because of defiance.

I think the PvP devs don’t want to go to their higher ups and tell them that their Skyhammer was a waste of resources and they need new ones. It could cost their jobs.
Despite it being only a fraction of what they have to churn out for LS, which has a shelf life of 2-4 weeks.

even if you win in this map you still feel horrible throwing people out and killing them

Your options on this map consist of:

1. Playing a profession/build which can abuse this map
2. Play a normal build, which means:
1. You cannot play on A, C, or fight for Hammer
2. Limited to fighting for B
3. Since you cannot fight for hammer, fighting for B will mean you are taking Hammers to the face.
3. Rage Quit
4. Sit in spawn area

All skyhammer threads should go here, then it will be all goooooood…
