Guild Wars 2

Why, on earth would you change, balance, nerf, buff anything related to underwater combat? The majority of the PvP community does not even enjoy this feature. We want balances on current issues on a variety of things.
Lower the req. rank points to level up. (It should not take 2 1/2 years to hit 80 (the math has been done)).
Relating to ROC fix the skirmisher bug that doesn’t allow you to get the points from it.
And more.
Why not give more light on the PvP scene?
Like many posts before my own, so many people have quit playing this game that originally enjoyed it due to PvP.
Everyone that plays paid tournaments knows each other because our community in it is so small these days, with only about an hour window in the middle of the night that they “pop”

While I think rank speed is fine. Anet clearly is missing what the sPvP community is saying. This game can’t be an eSport without…. Ranking, spectating and match making. I really was hoping for something great for this patch/event for sPvP. We didn’t get anything but ridiculously underwhelming nerfs/balances.

Exactly, thank you for reminding me, where in the **** is the ladder ranking?
New players come into the PvP life of Gw2 to be crushed by people who have been playing for a while, get discouraged and stop playing PvP all together.

Why do they not realize this?

33% increased velocity to longbow warriors OP mang Frenzy longbow

Exactly. This kills a huge amount of player base for sPvP. What are they waiting for? New Years? Match making/Ladder should of been in place within a month of launch. This is getting ridiculous. Whats the point of PvPing if there is no challenge/satisfaction from becoming good at a profession?

I’m convinced Anet doesn’t take PvP seriously and will continue to only focus on PvE until everyone there gets bored and goes to the next big game changing MMO.

Well they actually said in the state of pvp vid GW2 guru made that they are waiting for new year with ladders and stuff. But they said this patch would have lots of balances :P Anyway, they are taking christmas holiday so we have to wait until january

I guess I can agree with you on that, it is Christmas, so I guess I need to stop being such a Grinch. We could all use a little break, but I mean, why focus on underwater combat when the combined efforts of all the devs who worked on the “UWC” could have possibly had some head-way on ladders.

You must have forgotten how long it took Starcraft to hit rank 15 in GW1…

Sorry, and all who want to hate on me can. I was not a Gw1 player, just a Gw2 fanboy I suppose. But people want to be able to play for a reachable goal, and one they can reach atleast a little bit faster, can’t you agree?
I play this game all the time, and played every day for a month in PvP and currently am only rank 37.
I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but I feel others could agree with me, that atleast possibly a small bit faster ranking / lower the required RP to rank up.

In GW1 we needed more than 2 years to max hero rank, it took me one year in 2010 to reach r9 as it was much harder to get fame compared to how easy is to get glory rank pts in GW2.

so basically all i have to say is more and more i realize these guys at arena have no idea what they are doing. But heres the kicker more than half there staff are all on vacation for the whole month while they leave the game worse off then before.

Like what I posted before, everyone needs a break every once in a while.
But I agree with what you said, I wish that the changes weren’t made PvP wise.
I care not for PvE, if they like it then hey, that’s 1 good thing atleast, but I feel the patch made PvP just more annoying (Sorry to all ele players)with ele buffs.

Most people have actually expressed positive feed back with the balance changes, to the tune of everything slowly getting balanced instead of sweeping up and down changes every patch.

And to have that on the forums of an mmo is pretty incredible imo

As for the needed additional content, they never said it was coming this patch. So while that may not be comforting at least you knew it so you could make an informed opinion on whether to stay or go.

I think anet knows they can get by for a little longer and so they will. Its business.

They have already said they think people will return to the game when its fixed like they have all the time in the world they need but in reality that is a stupid assumption considering there are much more fun games out there that people will get sucked into and never return because of it

Btw how about the athiest holiday everyone? lol floating pizza boxes

Thank you for your post, agree with all you have said, but I still stand with my QQ’ness, and the majority of positive feed back isn’t towards the underwater combat lol.

And yes, they never did promise us additional content, but as a 19 y/o I can still hope for Christmas presents! :P

I guess the underwater changes were just another present filled with clothes that I didn’t want haha.

Not read about the ele’s getting infinite protection have you? And here the community thought that bunker guardians was OP before, commence the era for bunker ele’s (again..). But that is neither here or there.

What I think people are disappointed with/feel let down by is not the few actual changes they did, but rather that 80%+ is Underwater related. It personally feels like: “Hey guys, we will fix the Hell out of this part of the game, never mind that it is a part of the game that barely anyone enjoys and partakes in..Stick around another 2 months for some real changes, kkthxbai!”.

//Let down hardcore PvP:er.

Granted, the gaming community is a rather fluctuating group of people, but there is a very harsh limit to this, one with very fatal consequences.

I already know lots of people who have already put GW2 behind them for good, simply because the very part of the game that the game was advertised upon was so lacking at release that it might as well not have been there. And we recently got to hear that it will not be represented in any kind of way that can be called satisfactory until roughly (at it’s earliest) half a year after release.

Can’t really blame people for not being patient with that time span. I honestly think that the game will survive on it’s PvE player base, and that some new and old (with old I mean players that left GW2 long before present date) players will come back when the PvP core features are implemented. But I doubt that many of the ones that stuck around all this time will be playing at that date. I personally have been having a break for the last month and aren’t even sure I’ll be coming back in February. Too damn many good games out there for it, to be honest.

Exactly, i’m quite let down.
And don’t worry, before I even posted this thread I had saw the perma prot ele’s come back. /fml
