Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

So I just wanted to share my thoughts on why pvp is not as good as it could be, and I also think many people deserve that pvp gets better instead of getting people in their team that only want achievements or dailies, they don’t deserve being matched with/versus people that have no clue about anything and are just spamming rankeds because again they need an achievement or need to do dailies…

First of all, and I think this should be needless to say, you can’t just let people into PvP and not actually teach them the basics. For example, imagine you’re a total new player and you don’t understand anything about gw2 PvP, so you’re able to get into pvp and play hotjoin or unrankeds yet you don’t know anything about it, you don’t know what rotating means, you don’t know whats close/mid/far (althought I think everyone gets this one after playing a bit) and of course you don’t know your class’s role and what build you should run. I’m not saying there should be a huge tutorial about everything, but like I think at least you have the obligations of teaching them the basics, just saying Anet just saying… Teach them one of the most if not the most important thing in conquest, ROTATIONS! Believe me I think it won’t be hard at least for most people to get rotations, you just need to teach them or at least if you don’t want to do that just redirect them somewhere where they could learn rotations/builds/etc.. but do it. (And no one likes that player that is always running far and dying)

Next (and yeah this one had to come once again), dailies, please Anet I think I can say this for most people it’s enough of pvp class dailies! Or at least make them do it in unranked or hotjoin. Some people just go for pvp because of dailies and they go ranked, and they suck, and they ruin the game for the rest! (Not trying to be rude it’s the truth and Anet you know this) What frustrates me the most with this is that people are so ignorant when doing their dailies, you ask them to change their class politely and they won’t so you get, for example, 3 engis on your team and you just lose and since they are only there for the dailies (not saying everyone) but most of them don’t have a clue of how to play pvp and they just act ignorant all game like they couldn’t even write. But yeah a big example of ignorance is…A…yeah you guessed it.

The other one is matchmaking this is obvious, go watch Helseth stream for example, they just obliterate everyone on matchmaking, now watch an inhouse, that’s a good game and it’s an actual challenge for them, it’s not like “killing more dead people”. But yeah this point is also kinda not really good to talk about because you can get to legendary with just grinding and why do people do it? Achievements…YAY Achievement Wars 2.

These in my opinion are some of the problems with gw2 pvp. Please tell me what do you think about them and if you have anymore suggestions just post them!

(Oh and please don’t ruin the meta Anet, the meta atm is awesome the only changes you need to make I think is to ele (more dmg less sustain) and guardians)(Oh and PLEASE ADD TEMPLATES, some people have probably already died waiting, I know you get money from gem store for character slots, but please you will earn more money if you have a much much better game that gw2 could be with just the combat alone!)(Legacy is just a bad map btw!)(If you want your game to actually succeed, and this has been said I think since the launch of the game, you need to actually show that you care about your community and game, not only gem store and the wowowowowow pro league wow such wow, actually talking with the community and listening to it may just save your game, just saying people will eventually move on like many already did, many will continue to do, show some love for your game and you will have an excellent game)(And please start actually rewarding people for the divison they finished in or even place in the leaderboard) #StartListeningAnetWe’reOverItAndYou’reSickOfHearingThis!

Peace

Tutorials could be helpful, not a huge issue in my opinion. Just the description of conquest should be enough. Rotations and profession roles are not set in stone so its best people learn from others or look up guides. Not a priority at all.

I think this is a low tier problem so I cant comment on it much. If anet moves dailies to unranked then how do I get my dailies? It’s a player side problem, not on anet.

I used to think matchmaking was Oknow Im just not sure. I did get to leggy fairly easy, some might say its because of MMR heaven. No mstter what Anet does, the system cant take into account situational awareness and mechanical skill of players. So whatever they do to the algorithm, people will ALWAYS complain. Helseth obliterated anyone even before the leagues so thats not a valid example. It does not make sense though as you said, that legendary can be achievable by grinding and we cannot see individual MMR of players.

The meta isnt so bad. There is an overabundance of boons and condis but the powercreep is here to stay. I got used to it, adapted to new forgiving builds cause other games arent good enough. But we are the minority Natasha, most people absolutely hate the meta and left the game.
