Guild Wars 2

Ive pvp’d with my ranger, it was alright just all those pets were annoying as hell.
Same with my mesmer.
Same with my thief.

For over a year targetting was a nightmare. Thank god they finally fixed that.

Now i play a warrior who only meelee’s and its apparent how terrible it is playing a class right in the middle of it all. At least thats what i do with my hammer wielding warrior. I jump in and start hitting stuff.

All those pets that block my view, the abundance of graphics, buildings and trees that block my view.

I cant see anything thats going on often enough when surrounded by 2 players and pets and clones all over the place. Pet/clone hitbox is large enough to block my view but then on top of that there’s the graphical splendor of spells etc which totally disorients because i cant even see my target circle anymore or the where the caster is. This is zoomed out to pretty much max. Red circles at their feet yeah but with pets and graphics and buildings/trees blocking my view i can just as well give up.

Now with my warrior its apparent how terrible spvp design is. Its not the maps. Its the classes that deliberately make small chars, asura comes to mind, and surround themselves with pets. On top of that you have the graphics and god forbid you play a norn because then on top of it all you have your surroundings constantly blocking your view.

How on earth they hope spvp to be an E-sport is beyond me really.
This game is encouraging you to not meelee. Its just silly.

I shouldnt have to be forced to play ranged since otherwise i cant see kitten whats all going on around me coz i feel completely disorientated by pets, graphics and surroundings and have to much trouble to find my target since graphics block my view of identifying the circle at their feet.

leave 8v8 poison rooms. join the 5s

if you find same situation in 5s, leave the point and cap another, you are most likely outnumbered. 1-2 mesmers is the max you should be fighting at a point imo

its the same for me, when i don’t know what im hitting any more, even my pc can’t handle the fps stability anymore making it harder for me to focus. all i see is cleave damage by a ham warrior who doesn¨’t know anything either and killed me by accident. so it’s best to leave such point.

Ofcourse you are right but my point is if you prefer to do so you should not be feeling this disoriented and having to retreat because you cant tell anymore whats going on.

Its the same for playing a norn. People could say then dont play a norn. Well thing is you should be able too without feeling handicapped.

Its just bad design in my eyes. Its pretty to look at sure but its totallly not functional in instanced pvp.

Its just bad design

I have no problem at all seeing exactly what’s going on. I don’t think any changes should be made regarding that.

All is vain?
