Guild Wars 2

Wow! it’s horrible. I think the only way to fix it, is just wipe the slate clean and start again with regards to class skills.
From my experience the game consist of just AOE spam an area and stand in it. Ta-da mission accomplished!. You don’t even need to target and enemy.

I know they’ll be people that played PvP from beta and will most likely be really skilled and knowledgeable and tell me that I’m wrong. This maybe the case in your elite circle but you are minority. People that are casual like me, are a far more substantial majority.

Maybe Anet are targeting the ‘Elite’ minority but that doesn’t sound like good business sense to me. :x

To reply on you aoe statement, currently there really is quite a bit of aoe flying about, however this is much easier to avoid when not confined to a capture point. So some smart positioning helps.

Unfortunately the state of hotjoin for new pvp players is disastrous in my opinion…You’ll be constantly fighting against more experienced players and facing unbalanced scenarios (esp. in 8v8s). And of course playing ranked matches is a nono. However if this doesn’t deter you that much, you’ll quickly learn the ropes. #normalqueuepls

Good then you still haven’t wasted too much time, WALK AWAY!

Think of it as similar to king of the hill in a first-person shooter. If you just go and stand in the middle of the capture point, you’re gonna have a hard time. You’ll need to win fights to control the area; then control of the points will come naturally.

Hey guys I just started playing football, it’s horrible, they really need to rewrite all the rules to make the game better

I know that ppl that have been playing this a long time will most likely be really skilled and knowledgeable and tell me that I’m wrong. This maybe the case in your elite circle but you are minority..

I barely did play sPvP in the first year and half due the lack of rewards and small connection with other parts of the game (PvE, WvW) but after the Dec 10 patch I started to play everyday to get the dailies and I found that was having found even in the defeats, reaching lvl 20 in three weeks (playing only ranked matches).

The two main diferences between my recen experiences and the ones from the past were that # 1 now, with the silver rewards and leveling scrolls I feel that I’m helping my own account and my characters, and # 2 I changed my -deficient- old build (a guardian bunker) for a dps one so my role is a lot more active and fun.

IMO the two main problems that still reamins in PvP are the lack of several game modes and the lack of instant access to (in a f2p way) potential players. GW2 PvP has potential but will not be able to compete against games as LoL or Dota 2 without a f2p client -even if confined to PvP only and 1 character slot only- and without a new gameplay mode. I think that the combat is great and there’s room to build a kind of MOBA game mode around the current design of classes and skills and traits.
