Guild Wars 2

WTG with the thief buff – as if they weren’t strong enough already! You have totally ruined PVP now – it’s just gonna be a bunch of necros and thieves running around going forward.

I have no idea what you people are even thinking sometimes! :/

A lot of people seem to forget the amount of power creep that was added to Thief with the specialization patch. But then again, everything to made over the top and nothing was really nerfed :\

Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8/8.

Like i said in a different thread. This forum is the go to place for people to post angry posts whenever they get rekt in pvp.

It’s kind of like a call center for any kind of company. People only call you when they have a problem and they want to complain about it. They don’t call you to thank you for the great product/service they are receiving. So official forums for MMOs are kind of like call centers. Can’t say i envy whomever is in charge of looking for feedback from this cesspool.

They ruined it again? Think this is the 4th time I read a post like this about update.

Funny, there’s a post on this page also about how necro is clearly the reason that PvP is terrible and will never be an esport and is the bane of the game and the harbinger of the doom of the game and… where was I going with this? Oh right, clearly the game is on the verge of its demise and we should all quite now.

I didn’t say we should “quit” the game. I don’t make posts like this lightly and I have 7 level 80 characters, with fully spec’d elites, including a necro. I have played many matches before posting – I didn’t just get “rekt” in one match. This is a problem and the thing that makes me “angry” is that, every time they go to try to fix something, they seem to make it worse. :/ I wish they would at least get a test server and try some of these “fixes” out before they inflict them on us. It’s apparent they do not have one or, if they do, they need to use it more.

So, you’re telling me that pvp was in a much better state with the bunker meta? lol ya ok.

In the last 3 years anet went from power creep to bunky to power creep to bunky & so on. No real balance. Just from one extreme to another. kitten Yoyo effect. After 3 years & starting on the 4rth, i’m sorry, but unless you havent noticed, Twtich streamers & Players have bin looking elsewhere for there mmo gratification. Maybe time for you sheeps as well.

Think the best way is the implent back HamBow Meta and start over from there.
Actually no, keep it HamBow meta.

Still the best.

This same thread is created after every balance patch lol. You can’t please everybody.

Well, as far as balance went, yes. It was boring, it was unbalanced, but still was balanced better than after the “fix”.
That’s what happens when instead of actually balancing things devs prefer nuclear options and “shaking things up”.

Dude, really? you must not have bin keeping up with the news. The last bunker meta was stupid & boring at best. Peeps was crying for mesmer bunker nerf since the pro league season started. & now you come up with this kind of comment…shame on you!
Point of the matter is that Neither Last meta, nor power creep metas works. It’s the same unbalance results every time. & the same salty Crying every time. so plzzz. no stupid ignorant comments like that. It makes me mad!

Did you even see the last meta? All it was was bunker mesmers and revenants, sometimes a tempest, occasionally a druid, and seldom a reaper or a dragon hunter. You never saw thieves or warriors, now you do. It’s much better now imo, not perfect, but better. It’s also a lot more fun now, rather than the slow drawn out battles that test patience more than ability.

Yes, I saw it, I played it, with many different classes. But when a thief I never even see can one-shot me from behind, THAT is way unbalanced. Oh, and btw, how does dying to someone that I never even see, from nearly full health, test any ability at all?

If you’re so concerned about getting one shot by a thf, don’t go glass then. I swear, people thinking they can go zerker amulet or marauder and not get their kitten kicked in by another zerker is hilarious.

esports guys! We are not done yet!

Yeah, ppl are done. I dont think will have 1500 viewers no more.

pvp has been ruined since 8v8 went away

Na dude, ArenaNet ruined PvP. It’s very clear they have no idea how to do combat design. Granted, they shown signs of them having no clue before, but the power creep is blatantly obvious.

Guild Wars 2 combat is doomed.

Personally has a player, I have no pull or desire to login into gw2 at the moment. I think it is fair to say the last balance patch had a lot riding on it and I feel many players feel it didn’t deliver the impact that was needed. I have found if I want to win, then I will play Professions X-Y-Z..if i want to play with no guarantee of anything. then I’ll play anything else. Skill has not been a factor in deciding who wins and who doesn’t for quite a long time now.

I think it’s time for …………..

The L2P MANTRA

Everybody L2P
L2P L – 2 – P
Everybody L2P

When has it ever been? You need 5 competent players. Not 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

Apart from 1v1’s on a node, you can’t carry like a moba or fps game. As far as skill factor, the game has basically stayed the same.

Classes I feel are unusable and unstackable are thief, mesmer and war. If you’re one of these three I can see why you don’t feel like loging in. If you’re the other classes, you should feel fine.

Kill Or Die Tryin.6704:

MITIGATION VS MELEE

*+1K HP everyone (necros are no ones, so not them +500. OR why not give shroud sum serious debuffs like less HP and/or less mitigation.)

*Increase all plate armor to a sensible mitigation level. So when a thief crits, he cries, and then goes for the targets he is supposed to one shot. (cloth “noo not my necro!!!”)

*Make guards what their suppose to be, medium dps heavy defence tanks (bunker)

*Superbly make medium armor medium armor. (or leave it where it is)

Cloth… What armor? I mean, ok give the ele a shield, but not one that can withstand 10K damage? Seriously? Fine I get it cloth is *cough no armor and needs shields… but invincible impenetrable shields? no ty.

MAGICAL DAMAGE MITIGATION

• Guard is well (you guys named it Guardian, not Paragon, the heavenly dealer of WTF? damage. TY.) bad. My thought of a dragon hunter would be like 4K HP seriously dismal damage but team player buffer bunker. So 10% less magical damage or some crap.

• Warrior. I main, I hear people QQ but my warrior does fine in even trash groups if I can find another. I just can’t kill a rev to save my characters life, unless its a noobish rev. that for me is sad, but eh what can ya do. I can almost solo necros, and again noobs no chance. So close, but not sure what I’m missing o.0

Yeah that’s all. Game fixed forced to fight together, bunker can hold a cap solo but why? can’t kill crap. omg team coordination.
Read between the lines and your good. all the fixes are in there done yay woot 2m views on twitch.

Oops almost forgot. Revamp that stupid stronghold as well. Maybe auto send NPC door bashers and archers, lets pit them against each other and make this something worth getting into. Yes fight over the super buff NPC, but let that fight be over the gate’s destruction and not some spawn point you run over and commune with. So if you lose your gate, you get power spike NPC’s every 3 minutes lotto the NPC between the unlocked characters of the team. 2 minutes for mid gate, and 1 minute for final gate. then you win.

What are you talking about?

+1, like wtf is he on.

Let’s stop raging and start acting instead.

I’m not setting foot into PvP again until I stop seeing cancerous teams.

I’m fed up playing against “meta” builds that you can’t even do jack sheet against. And no, it’s not a l2p issue, I’ve been PvPing here since launch and I have about 1000 hours spent in PvP. Various champion titles and I like to think of myself as a more than decent PvPer.

There just nothing you can do to some enemies anymore. And it’s pitiful.
