Is there a YouTube channel like Husky Starcraft for Guild Wars 2?

I want to get more competitive and better at PvP and would like to watch a person do commentary over PvP and WvW and occasional PvE, but my interest on PvP

Thank you in advance ^,^

I’m sorry Iron, but not really. The game really isn’t competitive anymore.

Not really anything like that, but there is a guild dedicated to it (listed somewhere in the sPvP forums). Most streamers will answer questions related to PvP to try and grow the scene a little bit more. Asking anything in the mists is troll bait and I would most likely avoid it

There are a few build guides done by into the mists and e-sports gaming, but I do not know how up to date those will be. I think the best idea though is to get a mentor that plays the same class as you that can show you the little tricks they have learned over time.

I pity the poor soul who tries to cast this game.

“Ummm he’s standing on a point…they’re all asura so I can’t really see what they’re doing….uh, lots of bunkers, um, nobody is dying, uhm……pretty sure only two of these guys are afk but hard to tell….too many particle effects….”

check out stuff from Blu. He shout cast tournys that happen around the gw2 pvp scene. There are still some people left that play this game. Don’t get discouraged. There is a Twitch channel for Blu and one for just gw2pvp, which is used sometimes.

No one can cast the game WELL. They might be entertaining to watch or hear, but if they aren’t providing enough information so that someone who has never played the game before can know what’s happening, they aren’t doing their job. Unfortunately, the game is very unforgiving to shoutcasters because of the “slow non-risk, high-reward” meta and an overload of particle effects and very hard to see animations. An example of a game that is shoutcaster-friendly is League of Legends. This game is easier for shoutcasters to cast because EVERY skill is easily identifiable and if you were to play a replay (which happens often in tournaments), you can tell a play-by-play of what happened and why it turned the fight in ones’ favor. GW2 just isn’t made to be “esports” because no one can cast it or even watch it and understand what’s happening.

yet were still stuck with terrible gameplay and mechanics like downed state on the hopes it will become a spectator esport. …

No, a puddle has more depth to it than this game.

You can say everything there is to say about the PvP in this game within a single podcast. No way anyone could dedicate a channel to it.

Sensotix has at least a few interesting class guides that might help youL https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Sensotix-Solo-Team-Q-Tactical-Guides-HD/first#post3079334

I disagree largely with this. It’s true that we don’t have any good casters, but the experienced eye can easily tell what’s going on. It just so happens that all the casters in the game started casting because they couldn’t play the game at a high level so they turned to casting for success instead (sorry, but it’s true and you know it).

It is also true that particles are out of control and AI is dumb, but the lack of casters isn’t because the game is hard to understand—because it isn’t—it’s because there’s no interest in casting because the developers ignored PvP for so long that many people quickly figured out that the game wasn’t gonna go anywhere anytime soon.

If/when the competitive scene rises (l0l) I guarantee we’ll see actual casters that understand the game mechanics show up.

The issue is, if someone has never seen nor played GW2, do you think they would understand what is happening as the game progresses? I can say that I’ve played this game at the highest level (maybe not successfully, but been a part of it nonetheless) and I still have a hard time following what is happening in team fights because there is such a plethora of effects. Although there are shoutcasters that do a good job entertaining us, they simply cannot cast properly because of how the game is. If you recall from previous tournaments, I believe it was Grouch and Blu (don’t quote me on this) that had literally nothing to say during a team fight because they couldn’t tell what was going on and proceeded to joke about how the game was such a petting zoo. Unless they change something major, I don’t see this game going anywhere :/

I’ll be honest, the game was much easier to follow (and had much more potential as a competitive game) before all this AI bohlsheet came into play. I don’t think the game will go anywhere until AI is removed entirely from SPvP. If I wanted to fight AIs I’d go PvE.

Edit: By AIs I mean any character whose entire behavior is not directly controlled by the summoning player. This includes:

  • Ranger pets
  • Necro minions
  • Necro jagged horrors
  • Mesmer phantasams (particularly in phantasmal fire&forget builds)
  • Guardian spirit weapons
  • Ele minor & major elementals
  • Rock dog
