Guild Wars 2

PandaBear.7510:

Yea, these kinds of discussions always go round and round. When you post a vid of you just 100 – 0 people you’re pretty much always going to receive one of two kinds of reactions: 1)People that are just watching to be entertained will like it because, for the most part, watching people get ‘rekt’ is fun. And that is the whole point of posting a video in the first place; not to show that you’re the best player ever, but just to entertain. 2) People will not like it because they are looking for skilled play and feel that only a bad player would get killed like that.

Now, admittedly, there is some truth to #2. I’ve watched all of your vids and it’s definitely obvious in some of the fights that the players just aren’t that good. However, I can also say that in some of the fights I really don’t know if there is much they could have done.

Thanks Panda, appreciate that. I agree. I never even said all the opponents are good or bad, just that I made it for fun and asked for a definition of “good”.

Your points are all valid, this thread “derailed” (though entertaining) the moment some folks got their kitten in a twist over it. =] Nothing out of the ordinary.

Ty For the response, I meant the warrior build you would play as a start in hopes of sparking my interest in the warrior because I have a level 80 warrior geared up and I cant play him. I find him lacking and uninteresting with his utilities but I do love their weapon choices and burst capability. Don’t get me wrong, I played guard since launch and I love it but after a while I wanted more. So, I made a warrior and I feel like I shelved him too early to make a engineer which since has become my new main (SD or Cele). I never go to the warrior forums cause i’m usually met with a “OH you want some build idea’s? Metabattle.com or GTFO!” Anyways, Now i’m off to gw2skills.net to try to theory craft a decent warrior build.

The audience of the gw2 forums, isn’t just pros, though. And the nature of Anet giving two hoots about dueling in any game mode being balanced, or wvw being balanced makes it an odd place to have an elitist e-sports mentality.

This is akin to someone doing their first COF run under 9 minutes, posting a video, and just getting negative feedback without much constructive criticism. /shrug. I also didn’t think highly of many of the opponents (especially that engineer, lol), but I recommended spots that’d be more prone to better fights.

And yes, I get you are all also free to voice your opinions too in disapproval, but some were better criticism than others. I know some of you actually make videos too. Those comments I can take more seriously.

Reminds me of this thread where someone made rank 10,000, and of course that doesn’t mean kitten because EOTM = lol. But of course, you could detect the insecurity in those responses by the overly verbose insuations made in it.

Well said, sir.

I will be happy to link you in private when I settle on something for my Warrior version of Jinpaa.
