Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Tried searching for March updates, sPVP, eSports, etc. but all that returns in the search is ‘please wait while the search completes’, then, ‘no results’. I tried the dev tracker but frankly, I am not interested in filtering through ‘tickets closed…’.

Is it still,

-same Ele driven Meta?
-lack of incentive spvp?
-1 build per class?

or did we get a few more public awareness sessions (SOTG)?

Thanks in advance. Trying to find a reason to login.

Kind of the same as September last year except with a mythical matchmaking rating which works about as often as a unicorn sighting.

Guess I won’t be logging back in anytime soon.

Best to wait until after mid year IMO. Possibly last quarter. Get your fix somewhere else and come back and hopefully the systems will be relatively fleshed out.

Well, there aren’t paids anymore. As a matter of fact there aren’t even tickets anymore, you can go turn those in at a conversion ratio of 1-5, chests – tickets. Hope you didn’t blow all your gems like I did!

Also, tourneys actually pop all day, except 8 man tourneys. They never pop. Like, ever. I’ve sat in queue for hours before. The matchmaking system DOES help, but it seems pretty easy to gain/lose MMR. Nobody knows how it works, all everyone knows is that there is one in place and that it will still queue rank 1s against 50s. If you have very high MMR expect 5m+ queue times unless there’s another high 5 man on.

As far as meta goes there is none. That’s because there are no teams. There are no teams because most good players quit I am not kidding, I think there might be ONE 5 man team that I see regularly.

There are more builds, but only for engi. I have like a dozen+ different builds I could run in TPvP. As far as other classes go, well you have frenzy GS warriors, staff necros (condi or power), bunker/deeps guards, water eles (barely nerfed BTW), bursty thieves (with pistol offhand), shatter mesmers and trap rangers.

Ele driven meta? Well, all the exceptional ele players quit. Eles don’t really scare me anymore. I used to clinch my anus when I saw vexeus without my stunbreak up.

Only bit of good news is that the game is still fun, but it’s not heading anywhere. The devs don’t know what they’re doing or where they’re taking the game. All we know is that it’s going to remain stagnant for at least a few months before anything good comes (if at all!)

Everything is exactly the same. You didn’t miss anything at all.

still same things from beta, nothing new except for a pair of new maps and a dead single round tourney system
