Guild Wars 2

Would you say there’s a flavour-of-the-month class? If so, what do you think it is? My candidate illustrated below.

Obviously hotjoin. Not like that in tpvp. I’ve found that the longer you play in one arena in hotjoin the more it tends to become all thieves and mesmers because everyone else leaves, and then the thieves and mesmers all leave and then the cycle begins anew.

The warriors are all in tpvp pwning. :P

I am pretty sure what you posted is a screenshot of a hotjoin match. You will rarely, if ever, find this issue in TPvP, which I think is a testament to how different these game types are.

Hotjoin is jumping from point to point, bursting down enemies and tagging as many enemies as possible on your way to dragon rank. TPvP is nothing like that. This goes back to a reoccurring theme that I’ve been preaching on the forums for a while: the need for a scoring adjustment in hotjoin.

If hotjoin is meant to be a stepping stone for people to get acclimated to conquest and then have them join me, and others, in solo q or team queue, no wonder solo q is a mess. When you get in matches with players that fight on roads, stand with you on points when it’s uncontested and at the end of the match you see they are rank 30…you have to wonder, “how effective is this game in teaching new players to play the game correctly?”

By my own estimation, I say it fails miserably.

Everybody says they should put more valor into winning, but with the ability to stack a team that just gives too much incentive.

Silly anecdotal evidence that fallaciously claims that correlation implies causation is silly.

Warrior. Is that a hotjoin?

Definately warrior.

Pretty much everyone plays warrior, necro, or guardian. The rest of the professions are played to a much lesser extent.

Nah, still see Engis/Rangers/Thieves too.

When I see something like that it’s usually warriors. Thieves probably second most likely though. For awhile it was necros although people have backed off of them for some reason probably to play warriors.

One game doesn’t indicate FOTM. The current flavor is warriors.
