Guild Wars 2

You’re complaining about 2 different things. Stealth isn’t evade nor an interrupt.

permanent dishonor meaning just this season? Or For all seasons to come?

All seasons.

This will be a lesson to all future wanna-be cheaters too. i agree fully to this, maybe we can in the future be more strict on proven match throwers too.

Semi-off topic question: can we make it where Dishonor only counts down while online? people that are literally throwing matches and purposefully afking after repeated reports will just log off, go play a different game, and never really feel the punishment nor the drive to try their best. gw1 had an awesome dishonorable system!

example

" This effect cannot be removed by logging out or changing characters; however, the duration will not reset to the beginning if you change district or outpost. "

why was it changed to countdown while logged off?

there are other areas of the game like unranked they should still be able to play.

u cant queue for unranked with dishonor lol

Thank you to those who actually had a brain and voted NO.

NO ONE stacks dragonhunters/warriors/whatever the kitten in any DECENT division because it is SUBPAR and if you have trouble winning against teams with 2-3 dragonhunters then you shouldn’t have even been allowed to vote on the poll. I’m looking at you, bronze quacks.

This change would’ve completely BONED plat+ because people there are actually COMPETENT enough to play multiple classes to balance out the team comp.

Why the hell should I be forced to lose if the matchmaker decides to match me, as a thief, with 2 other thieves? Why shouldn’t I be able to switch?

Why SHOULDN’T I have an advantage over the people who can only play one class? coughbronzequeencough

there are plenty of non kittens that either stalemate or farm maygi when he pushes far. for example pretty much any esl player, naru snaffled hitzer mone jeff mobs edison are the people that i can name off the top of my head or have played with recently. the only person ive seen straight up die 1v1 to maygi was kittening halfdevil lmao

Is it really a wonder that top players would rather sit on their rating then play when every single loss is -20+ and a win is a single digit? This is ridiculous.

Straegen.2938:

I believe tRex has fought in T1 recently during some links. When running 5+ deep they have little trouble mowing over 2-3 times their number. Their necro bombs are to be both feared and respected. There is no powering them down when the guardians and tempests are playing in their set.

I have fought with and against them (more against) and can say without question they are the toughest skirmish crew actively playing by a large margin. The only guild I steer clear of when they are grouped up… course our guild lights a fire under them when we see them off soloing since it is about the only chance we have of dropping them.

Great build synergy but most importantly disciplined. You don’t catch them over extending for a kill. Guilds like QQ are typically easy to draw out and catch one too far from their pack.

Haha I mean QQ can also run nothing but necros and supports and never die. But we like to have fun and not pretend we’re in the NFL. Epidemic spam + minstrels guards and eles do not indicate any level of skill, more like abuse of game mechanics.

You still salty from losing to Mada’s power shatter + thief combo?

Reset night begs to differ

The reason why PvP gets toxic is because some players are not adequately skilled to be playing in their division.

Sure, just don’t allow low-average MMR players to advance to legendary.

It’s amazing how this thread is still relevant.

It’s pretty ridiculous how I queue into ESL players while idiots who queue into other idiots are are still allowed to advance. Especially in sapphire right now.

I don’t get it. GS won all of those fights in first minute and a half of that video.

Archon.6480:

It’s a false question. There is no such thing as a toxic good player. Toxic players are like toxic coworkers. They are all bad. The negative impact of their toxic behavior will most certainly outweigh any benefit they might bring to the table. Especially, in an environment where teamwork is essential.

In the workplace you can sit a toxic coworker in the corner, basement, or glovebox department, to mitigate the damage they do. In guild wars PvP, you know the matchmaker is messing with you when you get teamed with them. Beware toxicity, it is part of mankind’s lower nature, and seems to be highly esteemed nowadays, for some demented reason.

I’ll phrase it like this then.

If you could take a kittenbag that would give your team a 65% chance to win, or a kind soul that would give your team a 50% chance to win, who would you take?

I’d take the kitten every single time.

Who would you rather have on your team?

I see all the “elitists” were right.

you should thank the people that carried you to emerald

SkyShroud.2865:

if it can be counter play, it isnt broken, isnt it?

something with counterplay can still be broken my friend

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

moa is fine, been since always.

moa can be blocked by aegis, can be evaded.

just because it has counterplay doesn’t mean it isn’t broken as kitten. are you going to be able to see a mesmer try to moa your kitten in the middle of a teamfight?

Supreme.3164:

Inb4 haters jump at your throat, know this ….your claim is indeed legit.
Ofc haters will run to this thread with all kind of hate speech and L2P comments but ..it can’t be helped.

And yes I came across this double Moa chrono condi/shatter , seen even some shield bunker version, dunno what amulet is used with the shield version but they deal low dmg and are just extremely hard to kill, normally their role is to decap a point and hold as many people as possible.

I’m not here to justify nerfs or buffs…just stating that your experience is very much real at diamond division so this is not something you only see in hotjoin( as ofc few players will say this to discredit your thread)

I should mention i’ve been hovering in diamond t4-t6 for about a week now.

It’s ridiculous what this class can do. Harder to kill than a kittening necro, port is insane utility, double moa shuts down anything, does not lose any 1v1s. Not to mention a baller teamfighter too because of ridic moa.

rekt lmaooooo

always found it funny that someone was bragging to be the “best” at pve i mean man it’s pve LOL

I could tell the same about ppl bragging to be the “best” at GW2 spvp. I mean, is it pvp ? Farewell, dear Sir Ranked #18 on solo boards before 12/16 reset.

/love

You’ve just compared 2 completely different game modes.

But that’s fine, ignorance is bliss.

Blade Of Gandara.6738:

Really ? Then name them if theres alot of them atleast name them. Who? And what guild and server ? Cause i think you are just jelly

You say it like dragon rank is rare. There are at least 2 diamond ranks on JQ that are also rocking the Legendary Champion title. I’ve never bothered to block them and find out their names.

I’m also pretty sure that HK Diamond Legend running around is also a dragon.

How is a thief killing you when you have 3.3k armor? (Unless he’s condition, lol)

People shouldn’t complain unless they play the game at a high enough level. You can dodge backstabs from stealth, you know. All you need to more practice. You can interrupt their leap and make them waste 9 initiative. Or you can play literally any class with enough access to protection/weakness with a modicum of condition damage.

Reanne.5462:

Ok now that it has been made quite clear that their is a large disparity between #7 and #8, and #7 needs someone to match up against. Wheres that WVW Forum supervisor guy at so we know that he has logged this and maybe can get anet to try to find a solution to the issue. (that sounds ruder than I want it to…)

There is little Anet can do about the current situation of T2, the fact is the top 7 servers in NA have WvW populations far beyond what any server below them can take on, probably even with double teams. You cannot forcibly destack any server, the players must make those decisions themselves.

Let’s put the strongest server in t2 vs 2 servers that can’t even queue 2 maps on reset.

still waiting for that llama on my other acc

No challenger of the arena titles, legend of the arena, etc etc awarded to top 100 on each board this time?

Fort Aspenwood has gone to kitten so i’m looking for a new home (not posting on main)

The server (EU/NA doesnt matter, i’ve played on both) i’m looking for would preferably have:
- Good pugmanders
- Good GvG guilds
- Active community ts3
- Does not need to have good offhour coverage, however primetime coverage would be desirable

A little bit about me:
- Peaked in top 15 solo sPvP ladder, top 100 eu solo, top 1000 eu team
- GvG experience in 3 guilds (all either inactive now or left due to timezone constraints)
- I can also play a mean necro, and decent guard, war, ele
- I play mostly SEA, late EU and early NA
- Rank 628 in wvw

Servers I will not be considering: FSP, Maguuma, IOJ, EU t8/t9 NA t3/t8, TC,

Bad OP is bad.
(<—- not a SA user).

so how would you stop someone from resetting fights and regen in stealth

Do you honestly think a thief will regen to near full from shadows rejuvenation alone? Most of the time it’s goal seems to be to mitigate the conditions ticking away at me. Contrary to popular belief, shadows rejuvenation ISNT that strong in terms of healing power. As said in an earlier thread, a full shadow refuge with shadow rejuvenation should bring a non healing gear thief (99.9999999998% of them) to around half health, and that’s with 15 seconds! Fif-teen, unhindered, un condition harassed seconds! Any condition, even if it’s not poison will keep that regen from working to it’s fullest. As for stopping a thief from stealthing, I’ll let you know how to so that when you tell me how to stop a Mesmer from cloning, or how to stop a ranger from using pets, or a guardian from passively healing ( sorry to those who wanted me to mention their profession but were let down)

fight reset also nowhere i say that thief regen to full

Okay, tell me the steps needed for a thief to reset a fight, I’ll be impressed if stealth isn’t one of them, then tell me the steps needed to shadow rejuvenation to be activated, once again, if stealth isn’t one of those steps I’ll be impressed. And you’re right, you didn’t, so pardon my asking, why is it a big deal then? There are TONS of passive healing on other classes, guardians can’t get rid of it practically, so why single out thief?

That’s just it, stealth is broken. How can a game be marketed as skill based, allowing you to dodge based on animations, but still have stealth be a big part of the game? You can’t see their animations, so you have to get lucky with dodges. Also, no other class except for warrior has the reset potential of a thief. Obviously there are passive heals on other classes, but none of them do it while stealthed to the degree that thieves do. Maybe it’s not a lot in numbers, but you also gain a lot of damage mitigation from blinds. Conditions do not stick on thieves if they run shadow arts either.

So what’s the problem now is it still fight resetting is it regen? Blinds? So you aren’t complaining about shadow arts you’re complaining about stealth period?
And your right, other classes don’t passively heal while stealthed, which mean they heal all of the time , once again, guardian- I may be wrong but I think it heals more too. And as for conditions not sticking, shadows embrace cures one condition an then another after three seconds, standard stealth lasts for four. If you’re a condition build you’d be applying more conditions than they can shed, power build and you’d be doing more damage then shad rejuvenation can heal(a if it were a stand alone heal anyway). As for resetting, it depends in the game mode, sPvP then it’s a win, you scared them away to take a point, wvw you bought yourself time to run or recuperate, I mean, if you made them run once, in theory, you could do it again

The thing I’m complaining about now is a mix of all 3: shadow arts which leads into stealth and has blinds. Conditions don’t stick because you have other condi cleanses too: sword #2 and shadowstep. The damage mitigation is too high for the amount of damage this build offers. True, the same can be said for some condition builds, but condi builds have more counters than constant blinds, stealth and regen.

so how would you stop someone from resetting fights and regen in stealth

or at least make it take more skill to play, too easy to regen and reset in WvW. fine in spvp

I don’t have any stories of my own, but I found this reddit thread pretty funny. Worth a read, share any weird pvp rage/stupidity convos you’ve had, would really light up my day (bored at work)

I’ve never seen a mithril ranked, ever. LOL

a certain server just isnt skilled enough to win a 2v1 i would say

Banzie.5248:

Currently only rank 16.

no pls no doubt anyone wants u on their team

Hence the rest of my post, if there’s no option of joining a team, when can I expect more challenging matches? 20?30?40? Etc. or what ranks to teams generally set a minimum @?

Minimum rank to join an actual team now would probably be 70’s at least. And as for more challenging matches in solo queue, yea lol stomps happen everywhere, gets a little bit better once you’re in top 500 i guess

Any class can reset combat vs a terror necro so easily, they just wear me down until i have 0 lf to start the fight with

Really? kittening really? 1 skill that can shut down an entire spec?

Has the time passed? Or will they be doing another reset?

RN I’m on BP. I want to transfer because my playing times don’t fit alot of my server’s guilds raid times. I play early NA EST, Late OCX and early SEA

1.) How is the lag over there? As an NA player I mean.
2.) Which servers need off hour coverage?
3.) Are there any NA guilds there I can join?

Is this like your personal journal or something?

Wow, the average skill level of WvW players is far below that of the average sPvP

Keira Ferland.5619:

You would lose, obviously.

QFT.

So now that the season is almost over, I nominate Brother Alaric for MVP. I mean, that guy single handedly caused IOJ’s second mass exodus.

Hi, I’ve also been solo roaming today. I’ve noticed that many Ebay are much much better than the CD i’ve played vs. Nice fights to all, esp ebay. Keep it up, but CD must play better because they are no challenge

I was just roaming a couple hours ago. I think I remember fighting a pretty good player from [mew]… Did you fight a Sylvari Elementalist possibly?

hm, i dont rmb ur guild tag, i also play on lowest, so i cant tell what the enemy is lol
