Guild Wars 2

Hello there,
I have not played the game since a little before they released this whole leagues and pips thing, I used to be mainly a PvP player.
But I have seen that a lot of stuff is different now, and PvP is kinda dying (?), when it used to be really healthy and solid last year when I was still playing.

Is it even worth “tryharding” pvp now days? Mainly solo q or duo q. Is it all cancer condi everywhere? Do we still have leagues going on?
And any general thoughts, advices or tips are more than welcome.

Thank you.

No league at the moment. No pre-season either (see my signature)
Yes, condi is still everywhere.
Build diversity is still bad.

My advice? Come back when the balance team is moved to be a part of the PvP team. Right now, they are owned by the PvE team, and thus we can only dream about balance in PvP.

The devs need to recognize that balancing for PvP is 100x more important than balancing for PvE.

Eh, I don’t think so. I didn’t say any bad word about them. I’m expressing my opinion on how they can improve our PvP balancing.

That’s not completely true. PvE now basically comes down to raiding. It’s so boosted that it requires ascended gear to pass with high success rate. Nerfing skills left and right will break that balance. You don’t want the pve plebs coming here and complaining, seriously.

@Ravenmoon.5318, not if mobs were also adjusted to those changes, u cant just change players skills and then leave the rest of the game untouched, adjustments need to be done.

It’s too much work and QA for every little change. I suppose this is why we wait weeks/months for few cooldown/duration updates. I agree with you but my almost 4 year experience makes me skeptical they’d do this now.

@Ravenmoon.5318 even so, game would be fine with just a small tune for mobs, since mobs tend to Lack AI, for less cacls i would not be bad.
