Guild Wars 2

Serious question since Anet has tried to implement noob friendly stuff in pve, why do bosses exist in pvp?

They truly are noob traps. Seen more thrown games because pre 350 lord rushes in Foefire and people who either die to Svanir or Chieftain or get them stolen constantly.

If there weren’t any obvious map mechanic-related throws like those you’d instead be noticing all the games that are thrown by pants-on-head rotations,

Not to be shady, but what exactly is the point of your post? Are you suggesting that these elements be taken out of pvp?

Bosses are the least concern of making the game more “noob friendly”…

It’s more of the fact that bosses in Niflhel make people rotate bad early in the game. Doesn’t help that you get que’d with people who don’t know that you only need one person to cap home early.

Zero infrastructure. Its been 3 years.

Anet should rethink these mechanics.

They’re fine for experienced players. However, with a small pvp community and no possible way of not being teamed with inexperienced players they become more of a troll mechanic that waste peoples’ time on teams with people who don’t understand why rushing the Lord in Foefire early in the game is really really bad.

You don’t necessarily have to remove them. Perhaps making the Foefire boss invulnerable until 350 points would be ideal to prevent this stuff.

I would rather have to worry about getting better mechanically on the class I am playing than having to worry someone with just throw the game from not understanding why their decision is so bad.

I will have to respectfully disagree with you there. With Anets snail pace at correcting issues, I think this is low priority. Changing the way new players are introduced to pvp is a starting point. Not making a boss invul until 350…. If that’s the case, the boss might as well not even be there.

Or you just attempt to tell those not to do that. If someone makes a mistake point it out to them. 9 times out of 10 they will get salty and block you, but then you know they’re awful anyway.
