Guild Wars 2

guild wars 2 or swg

league of legends?

I don;t know, I cant really say GW2 currently has a REAL pvp….its more a…come test a build thing…

WvW is kinda fun for a while….but gets extremely repetative after a while.

Aside from the gearing issues if you were to play Rift with everyone having the same gear, it is better imo. More class depth, more build options, more map/game type options and just overall more fun.

If they just replaced their gear ranks with cosmetic/title ranks i’d still play. They did actually test the idea of gear normalization but at that point the people still playing it did so because they liked that type of progression so it didn’t fly.

GW1 definitely had the best PvP of all MMO games.
Comparing it to non-mmo games just makes no sense.

GW2 pvp has potential down the road, but as it is now, its a waste of time.

Hotjoin is a joke of a mode, and you will just get murdered by the thief collective, or on occasion it will be 50% mesmers shattering you into death.

Paid tournaments have barely anyone playing and you will get stomped unless your team is VERY good.

Free tournaments are bearable, but dont expect too much out of it.

Wv3 is different and not really PVP or PVE, something of a mix.

Balance wise, the game is a total sham. Some classes have a massive and very obvious advantage over ALL OTHER CLASSES. And some classes are just weak and you will never get a chance to go very far with them.

The forums are the best though, expect to be told to simply dodge everything and have 62 stun breakers on your actionbar.

My advice, just give up, because Anet gave up once they realised how utterly wrong they got it all.

Gw2 has the pontential to be better but atm its getting very stale and boring. I just hit r40 as an engineer and im losing just about all motivation to play. They really need add different game modes, if they did it would be alot more enjoyable to grind the ranks . I don’t understand why they didnt have at least CTF. Everyone loves capture the flag lol

Guild Wars 1. It’s sad that sequel have so weak cpvp.

It is pretty shocking to say the least. I came here for the PvP. Now all the things I used to PvP on are gone cause the PvP just does not meet the fun criteria of most gamers. Even Rift PvP is way more fun and balanced. And they really don’t have a clue over there. They just throw patch adjustments at the game until the forums stop flaming for a couple hours a night. They consider that progress.

Guild Wars 1. The best PvP.

Call of duty : BLACK OPS 2

Savage 2 gets my vote. Too bad the game died and was exceptionally rage inducing.

Sure GW2 has pvp potential, but the same argument can be made for just about every game on the market. The thing is, the game has already released, those folks who were interested in it, have already bought it, and by the time Anet (big IF) makes improvements most folks will have already moved on and GW2 will only be a memory.

Darkfall 2 might be fun to check out until GW gets its kitten together. Its FPS style and full loot with destroyable cities, so it isn’t the same cup of tea as instanced PvP but PvP with repercussions is fun.

Also I disagree with any suggestions for playing Rift for PvP. Besides the gear grind its a game where the Devs do not care at all about PvP or balance for PvP and has large fluctuations in what is strong pretty much every patch. While the balance progress hasn’t been amazing with GW2 at least they are working towards PvP balance.

GW1 has the best PvP and combat system in any MMO Period. GW2 sPvP is a total let down.

I’m sorry but GW2 PvP > GW1 PvP. Combo fields and finishers completely out-classes anything GW1 did in terms of gameplay. It isn’t even close. GW2 will be a huge PvP success after all the features are in.

GW2 has a loooong way to go…they should have left PVP out and patched it in once they had more game modes etc etc…

Im curious to see how Elder Scrolls Online turns out….2013 is right around the corner and rumors (yes, rumors) are it will be in beta next few months.

They are probably waiting to spend more time and study GW2’s mistakes and make sure they dont do them in ESO….since ESO seems a lot like GW2 in terms of the way its done.

For me, MOBAS suck. I’m done with them. Other than Sc2 (HotS) and a few FPS games, GW2 is best.

Tribes – Renegade mod.
Ski-boosted mid air disc juggles ftw.
Hands down

Combo fields and dodging were definitely good improvements but the depth and diversity of skills and builds in this game make it overall worse than GW1. Skills are way too generic and there is virtually no choice as skills/traits are so poorly balanced.

The addition of downed state and removal of the ‘energy’ resource mechanic were mindboggingly bad decisions. As the saying goes, if you dumb your game down so any idi0t can play it, only idi0ts will be left playing it.

I find Rift to have the best PVP of current MMOs. The diversity and synergy within/between classes in that game is great. Give me the responsiveness of Trion over the arrogance of Anet anyday.

Look like you play GW1 pvp only on YouTube. GW2 lost many interesting and fresh (an compare with another mmo) mechanics that have GW1 (like rupts and hexes for example). It’s only my opinion, but I think GW2 pvp is very poor than GW1.
