Guild Wars 2

So first I want to say that i have had a kitten time playing living world as well as leveling all my toons to 80 and getting them all geared up with exotics and some ascended. Then few months ago I decided to finally get into pvp.

At first I did not have any idea what Hot Join was and then i realized later after I reached “Slayer” title that it’s not like Spvp or Tpvp where there’s more experienced PvP’ers in S/T-PvP than Hot Joins where as Hot Joins we’re more for practice and players who just started getting into PvP, or players that don’t pvp much and prefer to try it a few times every month or 2 months.

Then i started realizing that I wanted to do more than just be a practice dummy and get away from all the people always leaving the team in hot join whenever you had a losing team and people would switch to the winning team, I got tired of that.

I needed to advance to Spvp and i did. Now the first thing I noticed is that you can’t switch to the other team when the other team is winning and you can’t leave the match just cause your team is losing and if you leave or get disconnected for 5 minutes, you get “Dishonorable” buff which you won’t be able to enter Spvp for 10 hours! And that is great!

The only thing i hate is that anyone can join and even the novice players can which causes us to sometimes lose cause they don’t know what they’re doing…they’re novice pvp’ers…

SUGGESTION: Raise the restriction and only allow level 80 characters who have reached level 20 rank in pvp and then at level 20 in pvp rank, the access to S/T-PvP would be unlocked. I don’t want to be mean but it seems like S/T-PvP is similar to Hot Join which I left for a reason. it would be nice to at least make the PvP veteran players enjoy the more advance side of the PvP system instead of being stuck in a team with Novice players where we don’t have enough time to teach them while some of them don’t cooperate in learning how to PvP….we want to enjoy haveing a challenge where it’s so close to your team and the other team being in the 400 mark because you know that the other team is just as good as your team!

Please take the time to consider this, ANET.

And if not then at least nerf Mesmers or Thiefs a little bit more. Actually more like Thiefs that you could nerf.. I have a Thief I use in pvp and wow, I can do tons of damage where it take 4-5 stabs and the opponent is down.

the lvl 80 restriction is bad, rank 20 restriction is good

mesmer and thiefs r totally balanced, hell mesmer is even in a bad spot atm, they r food for my ele

thieves… ppl just cant counter them, dont waste ur cd when they r evading, try to time ur skill so u manage ur skills exactly at end of their dodge animation

small hint: try out mesmer and thief (not in spvp pls, in hotjoin) and learn their skills, know how to counter them

ofc now ppl gonna say ’u cant counter stealth ’ well, the game is about contest, if a thief permastealths he cant cap points. about s/d thief, time ur burst

wich proffession r u playing anyway?

Well at this point now I just mastered playing my mesmer, guardian, ele, and mainly my ranger. I’m now doing pvp with my Engi at the moemtn which is op but requires a lot of getting used to lol. I guess you’re right on the Thief andMesmers cause I play one of them too but as far as adding the restriction….I would enjoy that to be an addition

The rank restriction would imply that r20’s will be frowned upon in S/T PvP, since they will be considered newbies..
There is not much to learn in HotJoin, so they’d be glory farming to get to r20 and then head in S/T PvP, thinking they are “good” at that point..

still better than someone whos totally new to game, thinking spvp is hotjoin

lvl 80 restriction is terribad idea r20 maybe to high but I think 10 would be good.

Wouldn’t change much. I still see Legendary Champions sit home all game being 100% useless.

I think the rated match ups are fine, I never see new players in my solo queue anymore.

If you want to not see new players, you need to get a better ranking in the leaderboards where new players are not at.

The last thing mesmers need is a nerf OP. They’re already the most nerfed class in the game across the board..
