Guild Wars 2

After reading the replies I think the thing to take away from this is that people tend to either love it or hate it.

If you play a class that has op abilities that can take full advantage of the map you probably love it. You probably tell others how great of a map this is and how it requires a degree of learning how to adapt to new adversities. You probably tell others that they just don’t know how to play and chalk it up to them being noobs and you are elite. It has nothing to do with one class outmatching the other classes ability to launch noobs over the edge. NONE at all.

If you play a class with crappy abilities for this map that results in you doing a head first flying squirrel over the edge every five seconds you probably hate Skyhammer. You might log out whenever you are forced to play the map in tpvp thereby ruining it for others. You might stay somewhat neutral on the matter in fear of looking like a “noob” from those that enjoy the perks of their class and this map. Regardless of your stance or lack thereof you still get outmatched by overpowered abilities for this map and end up over the edge like the noob you are.

Save Skyhammer! One of the more exciting maps. and I too love shoving people off the side of the map! This map is about strategy and if your falling off the edge all the time you have a poor strategy on this map. Unlike other maps you can run around aimlessly you have to worry about position.

I guess you failed to read the bit about the imbalance between classes for getting people off the edge. That’s fine and dandy if that is the route Anet wants to go but at the VERY least make it even. Overhauling the map sounds a lot easier of a task vs tweaking every single class for one map.

There seems to be a divide between people who dislike the map for pvp purpose and those that like the exploits of it. Those that like exploiting the map are also missing the fact at how unbalanced this is as some classes have far better abilities than others to exploit the map. If it is true that I just need to “learn” how to play the map then all of the classes need revamping to even the playing field of “throw your opponent over the edge.” Like someone mentioned though is this super smash bros. or GW2 PVP?

I can beat people in PVP all day just to get thrown over the edge one way or another. It really sucks the fun out of a true battle of player vs player and undermines what true PVP is about. Until there is a fix or even word of a fix I intend to vote with my money in not purchasing gems. I don’t like to as I like many aspects of the game but like I said it really sucks the fun out of the game for me. If it is no longer fun why pay and why play?

Dont like the map? Dont play it. Problem solved. Some of us enjoy pushing people off the edges.

That is a great idea except for the fact that I am forced to play it in tpvp. I suppose if I couldn’t 1v1 I would like to push people over the edge as well. I personally like to fight in PVP and not exploit a map.

This map is really leaving a bad taste in my mouth with PVP and GW2 in general. PVP is about the fight not a shoving match on who can get who over the edge. I wreck this warrior in the room and he bolts out. I get on the cannon then next thing I know I’m falling. All I can do is laugh at how utterly ridiculous it is. Until this map is overhauled or scrapped I won’t buy anymore gems to support this game. That’s my opinion take it or leave it.
