Guild Wars 2

Reasons i roam: Hunting other players, scouting for the tags, backcapping, contesting camps and sentrys against other players, joining my server groups to contest towers/keeps/smc against other groups, chatting with friends or teamchat, dueling, practicing my favorite builds, theorycrafting and testing new builds and when theres no enemies to fight, i just watch a tv show/movie while i cap stuff for MUH PIPZ.

“Why dont you play sPvP instead?” I play A LOT of sPvP since my first day in this game, i almost hit legendary twice before i could even afford hot and, imo, its not close of being the same thing. Having to rely on other people, specially when you get to diamond/plat2+ and people keep dying at mid/far and raging over and over again SUCKS. I rather afk at spawn and watch them rage in chat than “carry” those kind of players.

Roaming feels good tho. Being able to run around with my own build, wich i can adjust at any time and use any stat/rune/sigil, having the freedom of trying to kill 2 or 3 players by myself and feeling good if it works or analyzing why i died feels way better than having to babysit 4 other randoms that copypaste builds from metabattle and don’t even know what traits/skills do.

Also, roaming with a friend > duo queueing. I’ve been duo roaming with a friend that dont have much experience in pvp and watching her improve over the months is great. Discussing builds, talking about “why we died” or “why they died”, trying new stuff and talking while we dont have fights is a lot of fun. We never have that in pvp, because even if we do really good, most of the time our teammates are bad and they pretty much afk to type in chat instead of trying something different.

Do i consider myself a bully for killing “zvz players”? Nope, they’re not supposed to be off-tag with “zvz builds” and i’m pretty sure they would do the same to me if they could. Maybe some people consider me a bully because i’m not the type of player that becomes friendly when the adversary is jumping around me and doing emotes, i usually just kill or ignore them and continue doing my thing.

Oh, even the whispers from roaming are better than sPvP whispers. Most of the time, people in sPvP are trying to convince you that they were right for going to 1×4 at far and dying and you were wrong for rotating and not dying 10 times in the same match. Thats just not funny and if you ever get them in your match again and you can’t do anything about it.

WvW whispers usually come from salty enemies that dont understand how they died, so they just call you names and hope they kill you next time. Being able to laugh at the situation and keep playing without having to worry about “having them on my team” is awesome.

Silv.9207:

If you don’t think that in the actual meta you need skills to win there’s something wrong and you’re a incredible Pro or a N00b.
Timing for burst or for active a defensive skill, Disengage, Positioning, Teamwork, there’s a Lot of things you need to do to kill the enemy.
I find out that to survive and be a good player in this meta you need to be seriously Better if compared to the Celestial meta.

This. Why would i worry about positioning, knowing what/when to dodge and relying on my support’s help when i can just use cele to face-tank stuff and then heal myself to full? Cele or anything X+Vitality+Toughness+Heal power would make stuff too tanky. Mender tempests are strong and sometimes they make the game boring as they are, we dont need to give them more stats.

As a cele guard/ele/necro that rarely dies while roamming in wvw and win 1×2~3×5′s constantly, i rather not have cele in pvp. Making people have to choose what they want to bring to the match is nice, i love being able to choose betwen amulets and runes and still having a good impact in the game. Having to play cele the entire time because its way better than everything else SUCKS.

If cele ever come back, i hope it have way lower total-attribute than other amulets so people would have to choose betwen being decent at something or mediocre at everything. Hope my post make sense, didnt sleep yet. lol

have you met a viper/trailblazer nerco with deathly chill yet?, like i said requires testing, could work maybe not, why not give it a try, L2p will not save u when your out of condi clears.

Im sorry but if you’re dying to a viper necro you need to adapt your build. Use a ranged weapon to kite them, bring condi cleanse, use rune of hoelbrak or melandru, DONT STAND INSIDE OF ENEMY COMBO FIELDS, dont waste your condi cleanse with low stacks/duration condis. Learn to play. lol

I love my stats diversity and i love being able to adjust small details in my builds, i dont want to lose that because some people get frustrated when they die trying to facetank a dire/trailblazer necro.

Also, acquiring X or Y stats is part of the game, stop complaining on the forum and go work for it.

Some days ago i was roaming in wvw, i killed a thief next to a camp and said thief whispered “2v1, you’re so good, f****** f*****”" just because i killed him while my friend watched us from ~2.000 distance. i love when they get all salty and crispy, and make excuses for dying. Its almost like dying in a game = dying irl. lmao

ps: found the screenshot! hah!

Same dude whispered me while i was afk on my frontline guard, but he called me a “condi kitten”. This guy needs to stop playing this game. hahaha

Playing condi rev -> providing resistance for the team during a teamfight against a condi heavy team -> our necro run away from us and die instead of just staying inside the heals/boons area -> “everyone just left, kitten ” -> i tell him he ran away from the point, not vice-versa -> they block me

I love soft skin players hahaha

Gunner Morton.8340:

Outnumbered isn’t even working as intended, yet here you are claiming the change is good.

You can’t even scout which maps blobs play on by checking the outnumbered icon anymore because it doesn’t appear for 5 minutes.

You’re not supposed to know where the blob is just by checking your buff bar anyways. If you want to scout them, look for them, keep an eye on ally senties and use /t and /m chat. lol

I love when people get mad over such small things. Some days ago i was roaming in wvw, i killed a thief next to a camp and said thief whispered “2v1, you’re so good, f****** f*****”" just because i killed him while my friend watched us from ~2.000 distance. i love when they get all salty and crispy, and make excuses for dying. Its almost like dying in a game = dying irl. lmao

Y’all should stop being mad at everything that happens to you, its just a game. If a video game character dancing makes you so mad, why do you even play it? God, how i loved people like this on Archeage, making money while making carebears cry… hmmm!

ps: found the screenshot! hah!

Please, no. LMAO

Played this like a year ago, its fun + have good damage but without well of power+Consume Conditions you will be wrecked. lol

Another conquest… soooooo exciting… -_-

Mapisto.2154:

B. Meta buids ruin the game. When I played with the meta classes, I noticed that a majority of my opponents are running the same builds. No diversity, not creative, not surprising – boring.

Completely agree, thats why i dont even touch pvp anymore. Im tired of playing against meta every single match, its not even fun trying to improve and playing something different and people always playing the same kitten. I rather just play something else while they dont fix this issue. lol

Whats the point on nerfing the cooldowns and then giving a cooldown reduction trait? lol
