Guild Wars 2

I can’t help but feel like one of the reason the PvP community isn’t growing as fast as it could be, is because of the complete lack of proper instructions on how PvP differs from PvE.

SO MANY TIMES I have seen players running the default build (usually zerker…wtf are you devs thinking throwing new players on zerker builds in the first place!) and just not getting into PvP because the quick time to kill and lack of tutorial are offputting to them as they are trying to learn the game.

There needs to be a proper tutorial for one (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Time-to-address-the-Tutorial/first#post6480262)

and first and foremost you need to give new players instant and easily accessibly ways to change their build. There is NO default keybind for PvP build window, the default builds are unacceptable and most players don’t actually realize their build in PvP is different that other game modes, noone pays attention to the “hint” popups" and it leads to players just jumping into matches and getting annihilated and then quitting.

The issue is people trying to force zerker, aoe builds and ‘rotations’ down the gullets of players left right and center in PVE so they don’t feel free to experiment and learn properly.

edit.

If they are brand new to pvp they shouldn’t be playing with you in the first place. Which wouldn’t of happened if the devs didn’t cater to the new and casual player hate that lead to the mass exodus of 2016 and bringing about the age of the smurfs.
