Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played since a couple months after release. I enjoyed the game mostly, except for a couple things.

The main reason I stopped playing was the PvP was frustrating as hell with the downed state thing. Is it still there, or was it nerfed or anything?

How is PvP? Is there lots of people in the world PvP areas? They were quite populated when I played. Was never into the scenarios or whatever they were called. Battleground type games.

Well, the battle of lions arch patch is on and it is HUGE. U should check it out. Also, pvp and wvw is basically the same, tho there is a new wvw map and more pvp maps

If your talking about sPVP the downed state still exists, however there have been many changes since release(i came back about a month ago after being absent for over a year after release)

The main thing were the heavy thief nerfs(no more 10K backstabs on a heavy) necros got smarter and go for tankyness combined with conditions, and most warriors stopped running 100b and started going tanky as well.

Downed state does still exist, though i just find it strong on necro’s, mesmers and thiefs.
Necro’s because they can deal a ton of damage being downed, and thiefs/mesmers because they are hard to kill being downed(as in avoiding finisher moves)

Still it’s managable, there are a few new maps as well.

What exactly about the downed state did you dislike?

Ah, that’s disappointing that it’s still there and that it’s mostly the same. Probably pass on playing again though, as I would prefer to PvP over PvE.

What don’t I like about the downed state? Pretty much everything :p
I usually play ranged classes and I found that “finishing” someone was almost never possible, even through damage. I remember making a lot of suggestions during the beta to get it changed, but everything was ignored.

Thanks for the replies.
