Guild Wars 2

I’ve been off since Jan 28th for obvious reasons (no new features, people quitting, etc).
I thought the game population had improved a lot because of new tournaments, matchmaking, etc… and all I see is:
-90% of my friend list offline (only the Curse guys are on)
-Good teams disbanded and those players quit (Fearless Team, Devils Inside…)
-Other good players quit (Lekira, Kirei, Tokyo, Tedsie, etc…)
-Best teams are not playing that much (Onibawan, CN…)
-People stopped streaming

Can someone explain me what has happened? O_O

So… to sum up, sPvP is dead and it’ll be impossible to recover even with good patches just because it has lost 95% of its original population. It was obvious this was gonna happen… lots of people had already left before the new patches.

They released incomplete PvP, and have yet to fix it. We’re only just now getting basic MMR. Even ignoring the complete lack of necessary features, the class balance is just disgusting. Even WoW at its worst is more balanced and has a better meta than this. Oh, and there’s basically no such thing as coordination beyond “SPIKE THE WARRIOR” in group fights.

Whoever is in charge of PvP development needs to take off the training wheels already.

This will be a good precedent for how not to handle PvP in any future MMOs.

And this week some people just came back, it was even worse a few days ago.

its 1 map per week.

there is no competitive ppl

the class imbalance is so bad now because they nerfed everything to kitten leaveing a few over powered classes.

all those 3 leave nothing but boredum to be had.

-Anet should learn from Riotgames in PvP.
-Anet killed PvP in Guild Wars 1, they are going to do same thing in Guild Wars 2.

Seems like Anet company only care about PvE, seems like PvE gives more money than good PvP, ask riot about that.

woho, posi gave me diz link and so true,
first it was temple of silent storm paid, and now it is forest (i think)
but before all of this happend i lost interest in this game… there is just no fun in doing the same, and having 3 maps, and qps that give nothing….
btw add me on LoL im called kireiqt xD

Dat Careih!!!
Dude, you quitted the game at the same time as me. You should go online and take a look about how many people are playing the game, lol… it’s freaking ridiculous…

As you can see “Top” players prefer going league of legends(Riot) than stay in “diZZ” PvP (Anet).
Drama baby , drama.

PvE OBVIOUSLY brings in a lot more money. One of the devs said “his numbers” showed the community growing – probably the PvE community.

its easy, just wait untill they add some real (real)Incentive to keep playing and u’ll see more ppl around

Anet would rather sell gold to the PvE crowd then compete with Leage of Legends.

Please let there be support for ladder leagues in the near future. I myself have no desire to play in a frustrating and unorganized random player pug. I just want to come online and play fun league games where train my skill make sense.

Which brings me to another thought. How are we suppose to practice as team for the meta-game? I can remember spending hours with teammates walking maps doing tactics, fighting with pleople etc. How many hours? A lot of hours. For what? To be a nice competitive team on the future tourneis (like ESL o something like that) where we can make money or any sponsor to go LANs o something like that, like LOL, SC2, CounterStrikes do. Seriouly I think this game has really a nice structure to be really a nice pvp game and be envidied for others.

But, How can we organice tournaments if there are not a private servers ?
So…

Spectator mode? Missing
Private servers? Missing.
New maps? Sure… but for what?
Ladder? :S
DATEs? Missing
etc.. etc..

WE ONLY NEED THIS!!!

Anet should resolved this questions earlier than create new maps… new system gems and… I don’t know… anything else?…

Give dates, give expectations to your pvp comunnity, give SOMETHING!!!!!!! BUT PLEASE NOOO NEW MAPS, NO kittenING NEW QPs SYSTEM, NO kittenING OP BUILD. ONLY A SPECTATOR MODE. ONLY A PRIVATE SERVERS. ONLY LADDER. ONLY BALANCED GAME.

Please, think about this.

PD: Sorry about my words or effusive speaking but… i’m so frustate with this game and really really hope this last patch makes any sense. ..

Pvp is dead irmão….

I hope everyone that still plays gets what they deserve this month. A decent PvP patch with custom games and a ladder. I’m happy to start all over from the beginning again when that glorious day arrives. Don’t ruin it ArenaNet, please

We just need some actual benefits for playing. Unlike some people, I don’t feel that grinding 5+ hours a day in mindless spvp is worth what it brings to the table. Not to mention the pvp system in general is just a complete kittenfest of grind and repetition.

How is it anything close to a grind? You create a character, do the 5 minutes tutorial, and go to the Mists. Bam, you can walk into hotjoin and compete equally with everyone else.

It takes a stupidly high amount of hours to rank up once you get r40+….

Because arbitrary and meaningless ranking constitutes a grind guys. That’s like saying Starcraft 2 is a grindfest because you have to spend hours getting decals.

what happened was 1hko combos continued to persist for 6 months when even gaming houses like big blue got rid of them within 1 month whenever they showed up in the meta.

This resulted in a meta dominated by two types:
bursters and bunkers

ANet then did the worst thing you can possibly do in a situation where people were quitting in frustration after not seeing what killed them for the umpteenth time:

They nerfed the few builds that could survive the burst and announced a war against any future builds which might arise to do this.

It’s no wonder nobody engages in PVP outside a WVW zerg.

Sorry mate, as most of you know, theres nothing for us in GW2 at this moment anymore. Was a fun run and i hope i’ll meet you guys in another game or even GW2 when is fixed. Really loved to play agaisnt most of you, being top or not, i enjoyed evry match. But we lost so many good warriors that there is nothing i can do to revive this cemetery anymore.
We still have a few active players, trying to reform atleast 1 team, i’ll pop in from time to time to help them, but other then that i raither play a 12 years old game then this bullkitten.

Anet ignoring community and doing pve stuff

Just put Gvg and ha with the same maps into gw2 , give everyone 10x life and gg..
95% of my pvp friends from gw1 are already quitted and soon the game it total dead ..Gw2 Pvp RIP 2013

I don’t think this game can be saved. Some of teh bugs are soooooo strange that i think the problem is that it’S badly coded and tehrefore a complete rewrite would be nescessary. I think we all know that isn’t going to happen and so everything will always have to work on a corrupted basis, which i don’t think will work out.

oversimplified and limited profession design and mechanics.

so true…..
What they need to keep players in the game at least for pvp are some new features like real tournaments. But i said that from the beginning and i can only quote Anets dev:“Think about SC 1 how mutch time it needed to be competetive” And everytime i rewatch the stream Guru Talk i dont know if i need to cry or laugh.
Its not 1991 its kittening 2013 games that want to have a competetive scene come out with the features and they dont need years to develop it and say they will add it “soon”. To be honest i am rly kitten right now idc if they add more pve features than pvp but they add NOTHING for pvp. 1 map for 1 week i mean WTF is wrong with u guys it was already annyoing to play 3 maps for ever and now only 1 ?! and then we play for NOTHING. QP → useless Glory → useless Chests → useless. But hey GG Anet i lost my faith that this game ever gets competetive. Playing for nothing and train hard for nothing is feels soooooo gooood!
But w/e just my point of view. Hate me or flame me for it idc unless u proove me wrong

Did anyone else notice how the OP answered his own thread and marked it as the best response?

lol u used to sound so positve now look at you

no competitive play becouse ppl just dont like the pvp in this game

class imbalance? a few months ago u were like l2p blabla

u r funny

Why is everyone who quits playing LoL now? Atleast play a good MOBA game like HoN or even Dota 2…

Well…

The game got a little better with mm and 1v1, but one map a week is a bit dull. Pops a bit low for mm too, so you can get some disparity in teams. I’m looking forward to CtF and, hopefully, more maps per week or full randomization.

Still missing key features but we’ve been getting better. Big balance patch would be nice too.

Sorry for my slightly positive opinion, I know its unusual here.
