Decap engi can (Sometimes) be coutered by m/s – lb condition war but you must be way better than him, hope to have fences on point (Otherwise you should run triple stability being way weaker to other specs) and for sure never ever move from close…i got out 30 secs to help a mate killing banner war (Yeah, banner war at gy…so kittening long stuff) and engi was already at close. Just fill him up with condis when around 1/3 hp as soon as he has healing turret on cd and maybe, just maybe, you can keep the point and kill him if he’s bad enough (Considering even the worst noob on earth could be a problem when playing decap if you’re running a not “decap countering” spec)
Danto went decap engi (Just for the lulz) last night, very first time he tried engi, not even went hj first…he also managed to decap and fully cap far vs average ppl (50+) and (His words) “I was reading about nutritional properties of hard boiled eggs while playing” so….yeah….
wasnt the first four lvl70 players all hotjoin hero? some even skyhammer farm.
Pretty much…keep in mind that most of them (Like clik) just farmed hj all day long (Nades on zergs gg) way before sh farm kittend in…they just went to an even faster way with sh but they used to farm rank points since start..so we could say most of them are both hj heroes AND sh farmers, there was no way to get r70 that soon going tpvp or even hj farm without “sh boost”, no kittening way at all..
Just don’t reward hotjoin..no rank points, no titles, no silvers…nothing. Ppl are playing it just for fun right? They will still have fun…but no cookies for zergers, if you want rewards you must go the hard way
Just go look for django’s guide, as i already told him it’s really well made and should be sticked somewhere cause it explains pretty much everything you have to know to start tpvp.
PvP Legendaries? Hell no! Some battles are chaotic enough as it is, we don’t need more random useless special effects thrown into the mix.
Sorry but legendaries have no place in structured PvP.
It would only lead to more particle kitten around…definately not needed…or at least disable weapon’s visual effects into matches
I’m not just saying to wait for the feature build for no reason. The high rank players are getting way more rewarded than anyone.
I’ll remember this…i swear..just screened and waiting for those titanic rewards for old high rank players…
which will come in another form of useless pve-crap, I guarantee it.
and half a ton of cakes, candies and anabolic steroids for wvsw, can’t wait to pile up those rewards in storage with all the other “deposit and forget” stuff…i’m so excited .__.
I think i could totally wipe third world hunger with just the food in my bank…at least would be useful for something..
-Overall attempts to practice agile development, but consistently missing the mark
-New teams/projects sometimes fail to take lessons from past post mortems or projects and repeat the same mistakes (i.e. repeating similar build process/work flows that were proved to be inefficient in past development)
what’s the hard counter to hambow? to Angels build? just wondering.
against any warrior you’ll have an advantage with a super bursty thief with blinds or terror necro or PU mesmer
I can decap and cap point vs a pu mesmer just sitting in the middle doing nothing except lb f1 when it’s off cd to get rid of condis….pu is just a 1v1 wvsw dueling kitten worth nothing in tpvp, you can counter pu mesmers just ignoring them…
yes you can cap or decap and run away but over time a good PU mesmer will win the 1v1. I was just saying what I found beats (my) condi war 1v1 the best.
I actually don’t care if he would, maybe, win 1v1…this is a team game with specs built around teamfighting (And many ppl usually fail to understand this simple point, aka hj heroes “come 1v1 i’ll killl yaaa noob!!1!11” while losing at -300) and the only objective is conquest, a spec with no point presence basing its damage on ppl fighting back (Killing clones, confusion and so on..) is just worthless on every possible role, if i can get my job of capping far done without wasting cds fighting a retrd is even better..if i want to play 1v1 i can buy a console playing tekken all day long xD Teams with pu mesmers are already gonna fail so np..
Funny thing is that with more than 2 millions rank points i’m going to get way less “rewards” than a kittening r30 pve hero went out from dungeons 1 month ago…and yeah pve related rewards ofc…because if you only pvp since start (And you don’t give a single kitten to pve\zergs vs doors), you’re r67, you have many thousands tournaments with around 10k overall pvp matches on your back and all you got since now is an emote (That many sh farmers got in 3 months anyway)….well, getting a r30+ chest (Because that’s what it is) after 150k with random pve crap inside feels so rewarding, just leave rewards as they are at this point…no reason to waste time to go from worthless rewards to other worthless rewards, just do things the decent way or give up already

Oh nice so i have to make 150k rank points 2 times (And then 450k..) in order to have a chest that a r30 is going to get every 15k….god you’re awesome…since when, if i can ask, r30+ is considered as “high rank”? 50+ maybe..but 30+…are you kidding me?
lol are there pu mesmers still trying to bunker something? Well…trying to do anything in tpvp since they can’t kill, they can’t contest points and they can’t even support… xD
I met one days ago defending far (And yeah i was with war)..i just \sit in the middle of the point while he kept stealthing around (F1 when too many condis and just \sit again) capped the point and just left with dat mesmer sticking to my kitten ..followed me to midfight and got horribly ganked..gg
zerg vs zerg dueling heroes at their best
Rangers are just worthless vs decappers, way better to put them in teamfight leaving a war at close if engi’s coming
rank doesn’t equate to skill. rank can tell you their time investment, but they could have lost most of their games. if you feel like you always lose, i’d look at changing other things like your build, amulets, or even profession.
It might be true between let’s say a 40-50+ and a 60+ who farmed sh for 3 months straight from r30 (And there are many)…but from a r10 and a r40 the difference is huge anyway, never saw a r20 team wining against a 50+ unless those r20s are 2nd accounts..so yes rank has way less meaning than gw1 for sure, but noone would ever get a r15 instead of a r50..
Let’s be clear anet. Evasion is immunity. There is no counter to it. Maybe try and not put 1.5s immunity on a thief skill which is spammable? In fact you put such an OP thing on every weapon set and they are all criminally under costed. Pistol whip should cost 10 initiative and the shortbow evade should be doubled at least too. And withdraw shouldn’t have an evade.
And AR, diamond skin, berzerker stance are joke too.
Agree on what you just said but going this way would just bring back permaspam condition necros everywhere, op warriors got in to hardcounter op necros…nerfing them (And they deserve a nerf for sure) would make necros crazy again. Nerfing those you mentioned at the end should lead to a nerf to the reason why condition immunity is over the top atm…and that reason are condition necros..but we all know we’re talking about anet and this is a pretty complicated roadmap…
About s\d evasion i agree, but i also think that real problem is not flanking\lacernous strike but infiltrator’s strike\return making a well timed cc (That should be s\d counter since it’s based on mobility and dodges) totally worthless, a spammable shadowstep, even with cast time, still seems bit too much..oh and btw, thief’s sbow 3 and ranger’s melee evade spam while cc’ed is totally bs (Just to point it out since i was talking bout spammable evades)…if you get immobilized you should be kittening immobile, not immobile but able to dance on the spot evading everything..
Moderators are mostly consistent and fair. If I was running a game I wouldn’t want my official forums to be host to toxic posts either. Very bad for business. Then again, I wouldn’t have made a game like this…
Then again, who will trust you with 50+ million to build a game?
I’d have made the best stripper simulator on the market with that budget.
Go get 50 millions and sign me up for beta already man u__u
seems i’m the only one still playing 0 0 10 30 30 with double shout and consecration u.u
i have to agree that skills needed to play bunker guardian (Or anything else btw) are not even comparable with skills needed to go monk in gw1 gvg\ha, you needed years to get to a good level with monk while here an average guardian can already be effective after one week, with ah even less cause all you have to learn is how to move and support teamfights..staying alive is not a problem with that
Actually top ladder players are also the only ones going with stable teams always playing together, ladder doesn’t reward single players (Despite being a single player ladder) rewards stable premades chosing their matches wisely, if u look at top ppl matches you’ll see they could stay out of tpvp for more than 2 days and then going for just a few runs when they can get max profit from matchmaking just too keep their position…ladder always rewarded ppl for not playing and with 1 match every 2 days you can keep up with decay while getting low chances of losing if you know when to go in..old story since symbolic best afk eu..
Only Champion Paragon, because I love playing guardian. Usually bunker, but if we have already bunker in the team I switch to DPS guardian. Actually I have 3 guardians, 1 for every build I use in PvP. Do you think I should seek for help?
Putting runes,sigils and amulets in your inventory and just switch traits is too complicated i guess..
yep after 6 seconds you’re already giving your team an advantage plus decap engi has no real counters, someone can just keep up longer than some others but everyone is eventually going to be decapped if the engi is just decent (Even more on points with no fences or at clocktower, worst of all along with mine) Decap mechanic isn’t broken on its own…decap engi is broken cause has no real counters and 90% of the times the only thing you can do is running a decapper in your team too (To keep the situation balanced) or backupping close killing him 2v1 (And it still takes time since decappers are usually bunkers) while being outnumbered on other points. He doesn’t need to kill, he doesn’t need to survive after decap..once you lost your point he already won, just respawn rinse and repeat..you can recap it after killing him and he’ll be back in seconds again..
I just stopped giving feedback, every single time i point out something i get my posts infracted….now seriously, since i’m probably a troll and i can’t understand, can someone please explain me where the actual reason for this infraction (The last one) is?
And screening this again because who knows…maybe they’re gonna remove this too..
From shatter mesmer main in tpvp for more than one year……
Go warrior..if you want to go tpvp aside from portal you’re gonna be way more effective rolling your face on kb with warrior than playing shatter mesmer in piano mode..
Shadow, illusionist, paragorn, hunter and legionnaire…hunter and legionnaire with braindead specs so i give them no meaning at all…was going for phantom but got tired of spamming kitten on points 24\7 while feeling so..clunky…dunno, i don’t like it at all. Waiting to go for genius cause i would have to play decapper atm..and no, as bunker guard or close point defender i hate them too much to join their side :P
7. AR
8. Healing signet
9. Cleansing Ire
10. Zerk Stance
11. 7.5k backstab with thief, 8k eviscerate with soldier warrior
12. Spirit of Nature
13. Knockbacks and cc spam 24\7 (Aka hambow and decap engi)
13. Matchmaking
14. Being top 200 or higher while going pug in tque (Soo many good teams..yeah..)
15. Casual friendly spam to win specs in general (Pretty much every meta spec)
Since you keep up 1v1 and point is yours due to the thief stealthing you’re winning already, can’t see the problem here…
Thieves have no point presence and will never keep up 1v2 vs someone with half brain, if you keep your point and your team isn’t outnumbered you can 1v1 all match…he’s just wasting HIS time..
Or maybe you’re just talking about zergs vs doors…in that case this is the wrong forum, noone gives a kitten bout zvsd here
1) Is it too much complicated creating a system that balance the various professions in the teams of a battle? ( 3 thiefs, 4 mesmers, 4 warrrios…)
2) Why we have a ladder based on the single player when every match is played in team?
3) What is the sense of a soloQ ladder?
4) Why we have not a GvG system? Guild Wars of what?
5) Why we have to pray you for an update in pvp?(nerf or buff skill)
Don’t worry, after 4.5k+ tpvp matches i still can’t understand, and i’m done with trying to already..
Ok since they closed the positive thread i think it’s obvious we must go for the toxic way…oh well, at least we tried, but apparently even being so positive we were not “in line”
Know what? I don’t give a kitten bout being rude or not, if someone traits his customers like battery hens he totally deserves it…ppl already tried the “kind” way, it doesn’t work…does the rude way work? Dunno but for it’s way better to let off some tension..at least..sounds good enough to me..
The rude way doesn’t work. Ever tried being rude to someone whether they deserved it or not? I have. It doesn’t work. Glad I could assist.
Oh well in real life usually works pretty good actually xD
I made the mistake to open up 20-30 of those freaking bags (Already have something like two stacks just wanted to give them a try >.<) all i got is my inventory full of crap worth nothing, pve gear (Like 3 silvers maybe..wow i’ll get more just going stomping random nabs in hj) unknown stuff probably needed to craft something you’ll get only going pve (ofc) and some zergs vs doors boosters…
I play pvp only..now tell me, am i supposed to be happy bout those bags? Srsly

thanks to this thread i went to the youtubes and listen to the song toxic of britney
If we are unable to control what we type on the forums how will we ever be able to handle getting control options for our pets on our Rangers? Maybe because of how we act here, the devs think that we are only able to handle being able to play Longbow Warriors and Heartseeker/Pistol Whip Thieves.
If we want more skillful play in game, maybe we should skillfully choose our words more wisely here?
and now what i think of this thread is something like “the answer is inside your heart” or some crap like that
who gives a kitten about the community if its toxic or not, what so us being trolly/bitter posters made anet not do anything for months now?.
if telling other people that the devs in this game are useless and they have clue what they doing yes i guess im part of the problem.
Yay stop telling the truth man…it only gives you troubles and deleted posts, be positive…smile, everything is fine….
104. I really enjoy setting up a team for tpvp cause every class\spec is viable and you’re not forced to go “meta”. I love working around all those different roles a class could have in tournament always improving tpvp variety, with no “must have” specs, no real hard counters always fighting to the last if you meet an equally skilled player, no matter the build he’s running..
And man…those rewards for being top ladder, make you proud of being there pushing new players to get better and better since they can’t get those just killing random mobs. Thanks god they kept pvp as endgame like it was in gw1 not turning it into a chinese f2p looking pve grinding crap with just a pointless pvp section.
Every single old gw1 player loves you because of this anet, because you didn’t ruin the best pvp mmorpg we’ve ever played..
