Guild Wars 2

I think right now the meta is finally moving out of the pansy-safety era, it’s been a lot of fun playing, winning, losing I’m actually getting a bit addicted and have to force myself to take breaks.

Many good balance changes allow for more build variety… just need to deal with some of the apex predators left for some roles like thief for Roamer, or guardian for mid bunker.. but carefully if ele gets any more indirect/direct buffs I feel like we’ll move back into DubEle meta.

Gold in pvp was a good move I still feel like we are 3rd class citizens behind pve but maybe this will change in the future? Right now average pve players make gold atleast 500% faster at 5G per hour vs 1.2g(AVG)

i agree. the combat system in this game was always fluid – the most fluid in its genre, EVER. the game will only get better with such a solid foundation.

Are you serious about the ele remark? I still don’t play my ele because it’s weaker than everything else. If the Vanilla Ele would exist today, it’s still not as strong as a warrior or necromancer. Diamond Skin is rather kittenty.

Maybe if you’re talking since the launch. I’ve only been doing PvP for a month and this past week has definitely been a move in the WRONG direction.

None of the rest matters when you can’t get a decent match because of people joining queues by accident, leaving in the middle or AFKing because all they care about is completion.

The dev team is deafeningly silent on this, too.

I honestly don’t care about all the bells and whistles. If they don’t do something about the awful state of matchmaking and play balance, and soon, PvP will slide down even further. I mean, I actually like PvP a lot in GW2 and increasingly find myself not wanting to participate.

Yea I agree man, playing my easy mode faceroll classes has become even more enjoyable after the patch, but watch out for those ele’s man, i keep seeing all these op ele’s beating up on helpless condi mesmers and warriors :/

The only problem in pvp right now is the abundance of warriors and engineers ( 90% of them running about the same build) in tournaments that are making absolutely non fun matchs ( that’s my opinion however..).
Matchs without 2 engineers and 2 warriors are generally fun and balanced..

Just so you know..

And yes.. people are beginning to get good at ele but not yet even tapping the skill wall
Imho Ele has one of the highest skill ceilings along with Shatter mes in game, but most people don’t wanna get Good, and claim its unplayable, just like shatter mes has been “unplayable” the past year.

Play team que; Most of those problems go away.. Hotjoin/Soloque is supposed to be casual play..

teamQ is no solution – its even worse than soloQ and suck hard

people now forced to paly it cause more than double the rankpoints for same time but fun? nothing at all

dont know why arenanet do this but pvp start even more to kitten me atm

As Romek said, it’s even worse in the team queue. I end up getting paired with 4 random people, half of whom don’t even know why they’re there, and have a good chance of facing an organized team.

No, game is not moving in right direction. They nerfed elemantalist, the most nerfed class in this game, again. I hope the super genius guys that are responsible with class balance will turn us to dollies. Even dollies have more usage than elemantalists.

Helseth was playing earlier, and was happy. Game must be moving in the right direction.

Just tried to join team queue. I sat there for over 5 minutes, it wouldn’t even pair me with anyone.

Went to solo queue. Other team had a r40 and a r33, we had nobody r20 or higher. They had 3 warriors/guardians. We lost 502-79.

And people wonder why PvP is empty?
