Guild Wars 2

You know, at first I was going to come here and complain about the engineers who can 2v1 with their eyes closed, or make their build so that they can just kite all day, decap without breaking a sweat, and never be killed. Or that they get turrets which never die over time, have as much HP as a player, which never miss, and which can perform multiple tasks. It’s cute how rangers get 1 mobile pet which is totally useless…and engineers get 4 of them which turn out to be the most OP skills in the entire game! Balance at it’s best!

But then I remembered hammer stun/condi warriors, and was going to complain about them instead. Lets forget their high HP pools, their free 350hp a second, and their mass amount of stun breakers, invulns, cleanses, stability, etc. On top of all that, they do the most damage in the game, condition wise, and power wise. Oh and btw, they get a great condi ranged weapon too..cause why not.

Yeah…I was going to come here and complain about those things…but then I remembered. That no matter how poorly I play, no matter what class I play, hell, even if I go cap a point and go AFK the whole match…..I can still get a full 500 points just by spectating, waiting for auto balance, then spamming the winning team! Which undoubtedly is full of warriors and engis.

So thanks anet. I was mad, but winning is so easy now! I can just spectate an engi or warrior all match and see some massive ownage, then swap to the winning team in the end for my points! I’m loving spectator wars 2, keep up the good and balanced work anet!

Even though I am not sure, why I even bothered opening this thread, and then even ended up reading the whole QQ, but I did so. Therefore I might aswell feed the ignorant troll a little.

First I was like going through all of your misconceptions in order to dissect your post and tear apart one thought after the other, but then the realization dawned that all you write is weird. Like all of it. Every single thing you say. Really.

Therefore I will just point out your main problems – so that you may solve them:
1.) There is way to just spectate, which means that you are playing Hotjoin. Everybody playing hotjoin either is bad or tries something out. Get out of your misery and get real.
2.) According to your grounded opinion engineers “can 2v1 with their eyes closed” – how about rolling to engi in order to find out then?
3.) Another way to get rid of that is rolling to the still friggin’ op warrior doing more dmg and healing over 300 HP for “free” a sec, which is great since “freeness” means that you still have your heal to use, when things get sticky.
4.) Since when is PvP all about farming? Well, except for farming souls, of course. Get real and start hitting people in the face, instead of looking for the best farm in hotjoin…

did I really just do what I did?
Yep.
Being bored is a bad thing.
Period.

theres a lot of BS in the game, cant argue with that.

Just if youre actualy bothering to spectate and then switch to wining team for rewards, i reccomend you stick to tourneys.
Both soloQ and teamQ (and solo in teamQ) givw way more rewards + ppl actualy play to win so its more fun.

I know they call it hotjoin because they want people to be able to join it at any time, but I wish you were “locked in” so to speak (kind of like GW1 RA; you would get Dishonor for leaving too many times).

What I see all the time is that we are winning really hard in hotjoin, and they just ragequit the game entirely and someone gets autobalanced. You still get the points I’m pretty sure but it’s still irritating.

I fully agree with you. People should be able to spectate a match from the start, or from joining, without penalty. However once you join the action, if you then leave the match or spectate you should suffer a penalty like in GW1. It would do away with a majority of the problems that are in hot joins.

Yeah I noticed people tended to wait for 4v5 opportunities to get free points which is why I don’t like hotjoin as much. That and people ragequit instead of playing it through so I’ll be dominating in a 5v5 and then if my team beats them too hard or has a 100pt lead, I end up getting autobalanced onto the losing team, which sucks lol.

Real problem here started when they added more servers because a handful of people complained about it. The ones that complained where the ones that wanted to farm hotjoins instead of playing them for fun. Or these are the people you see in the high servers playing 1v1 or 2v2.

Anet needs to delete servers that where added to balance it back out. Hotjoin was at its best right after the patch came out because they where full and people where waiting to join and play and every match was 5v5 and ver competitive. I would rather sit out a match to get 5 balanced matches and have fun playing.

Please fix it Anet! All will be vain if you don’t!
