Guild Wars 2

More like, whoever has the build with more passive invuln/dodges/blocks wins.

Zelulose.8695:

Broken tier (Easy play obvious advantage)

1) Druid
2) Condi/Chronomancer
3) Scrapper
4) Revanent
5) Thief

Why is thief even on this? I’d hardly class thief as an “easy play obvious advantage” in duels, an inexperienced thief would lose to nearly every class in a duel. I would have thought warrior would take that spot.

Seriously how do you kill these things 1v1 on point?

BrotherBelial.3094:

Yes a mesmer can kill you while constantly evading. Yeah you can’t hit them unless you time a stun for the split second they are on the ground. Yes they are so balanced.

Fixed that for you

2 teams ran thief in the pro league finals, both teams got destroyed in round 1. Thief sure is balanced.

sanctuary.1068:

If you look at different areas of the forum some areas dont have complaints at all. How many complaints about unranked threads do you see here? No one complains about unranked because its more balanced. People complain because ranked is unbalanced.

Nobody complains about unranked because nobody cares about unranked during ranked season.

If you were here when everyone was forced to play unranked during off-seasons, you’ll know that people hate unranked even more than ranked.

Patrick.2987:

The team using a necro lost 88% of the games and won 12%. Seems like chill is still over the top

Yeah chill is still over the top, necros shouldn’t be allowed to win 12% of their games.

BrotherBelial.3094:

I have no idea who any of these teams are. Gratz though.

TCG and 55 have both actively played in tournaments for 3 years and you have no idea who either of them are? Right ok.

suffish.4150:

I expect PZ to beat TCG, probably 3-1.

I do predict a double NA final

Lol.

Hmm, this is coming from the guy who thought that Syn was ‘ESL calibre’.

atlrising.5134:

Why do we still have teams like Syn who register weekly for AG when they are good enough to compete in ESL? Worst yet, the staff of AG knows that these teams enter their tournaments but yet does nothing to disallow their entry. Syn for example could easily make it to second round ESL or further.

Selya.5039:

Condi mesmer couldn’t and still cannot win a 1v1 against tempests, druids and necros.

Is this a joke? What kind of crappy mesmers have you been getting that can’t beat druid and tempest in 1v1s?

So why did your guild spend all their time farming unranked during ranked season?

Well score difference will be lower in s1 because the overall scores were lower, what with those 350-200 final scores, etc.

Why do they have to be straight wins? Homophobic?

Evis does 17 damage on an ele when 6 different conditions are met?

Meanwhile, it does 0 damage to a scrapper when the scrapper is using a single skill between hammer 3, hammer 4 and slickshoes.

Change search and rescue so that the pet has to run to the downed body, then teleports back with the downed body so that there’s actually time to react.

This poll is only going to show players who actually visit the forums. In reality, there’s going to be a far, far higher proportion of people in the first 3 divisions.

Loop.8106:

Please, tell me how it is Anets fault people are leaving the game?

Because they destroyed game balance and made all the strongest builds faceroll and full of passives.

Sinmir.6504:

Couldn’t it be changed so that if one person declines or fails to accept it just gets offered to the next person in the queue?

No because that is a recipe for even bigger matchmaking failures. The system has to redo all the matchmaking if anyone declines. I personally think they should keep dishonor on decline, people who don’t drop queue when they have to afk for over 30 seconds are just selfish.

If you have to grab something, it will probably take less than 30 seconds so there’s no issue, if the phone rings, you know within the first 10 seconds of the phone call whether or not you will be on the phone for over 30 seconds.

Yes because metabattle knows all right? Any half-decent rev can destroy an ele in 1v1. Literally any focus (power OR condi OR both) will destroy an ele in a team-fight once you’ve baited out the invuln, it only has 13k health.

What the hell kind of suggestion is this? Yes instead of a 75% skilless grind to diamond lets have a 100% skilless grind to diamond!

What’s your point? Loads of thieves have made it to legendary weeks ago.

UBcktieDL.5318:

Tempest with protectin (-40%), frost aura (-10%), geomancer’s defense (-10%) and scrapper runes (-7%).
What do you think?

1. Tempests don’t use scrapper runes
2. Meta tempests have frost aura about 25% of the time
3. If your team has a necro, then the protection is constantly stripped
4. Ele has 11k base health
5. Ele uses light armor and therefore takes about 10% more damage than a war/rev/guard
6. Ele has no passive invuln proc
7. Bulwark gyro and Rise are stronger than anything that you mentioned

I summarize your post:

Oh no someone wants to nerf my class!!!

I summarise your post:

I don’t like eles so therefore I’m going to moan that they are too survivable even though scrapper can survive for 500x longer and even does more damage.

Naus the Gobbo.5172:

I have been stuck in tier 4 saphire for a week now. It is impossible for me to get to tier 5, every time I am 1 win away from getting there, I get teamed up against the most insane players ever and my team barely gets 100 points.
I have played at least 50 games now and still haven’t won just 3 times in a row.

If I don’t get to tier 5 before the season ends then I will not spend money on this game for the rest of the year. I have not been this frustrated in a ling time.

Let me get this straight, you’re blaming the GAME for not being able to get out of sapphire, despite being a division that has tier locking as well as the fact that none of the good players are still in sapphire so you should have easy matches?

Please give the foefire lord a downed state.

This would only add 3 seconds to a kill if the people attacking are smart, but would make defending the lord far more effective since you can res the lord and interrupt stomps, meanwhile rewarding the attackers for preparing a way to finish the lord.

lilypop.7819:

Well here is my experience.

1 pip away from Green – Emerald – lose 18 games in a row. In those 18 games with only one exception all the players were trying to win.

The really interesting thing was the PATTERN of the losses.

Starting off the game were iffy, maybe with better play maybe with more communication maybe with better this or that the team I was playing in would have won. In short there was decent gameplay. Some where between the 6th and 12th loss there was effectively no point in playing – you got kitten d. In fact the quality of the opposite team got steady better and better till I almost thought ‘stuff pvp’ and Akitten myself!!!

Clearly what is happening is that the game play time of soloist is much shorter than those of ‘usually winning teams’ the result being that the organised teams end up farming the soloist teams.

The current system is just kitten soloist-joiners out of the pvp game – unless the soloist is prepared to tolerate very long losing steaks.

Skill, knowledge and effort has nothing whatsoever to do with it. If you’re in a ‘fixed’ team wait/play long enough and you will get to farm soloist teams because in time there will be far more soloist fodder than fixed teams available to play against with each subsequent game.

Anyone ever heard of a 6 / 12/ 18/ 24 etc game losing steak for fixed teams?

With the number of bad premades around that are worse than full soloq teams, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are.

Most DH are bad players who got carried by their traps in div 1-4 because spamming them destroys bad players. Then they get to diamond and lose games and come to forums to complain about MMR hell.

But I lack the mental capacity to count 5 coloured icons

Novability.4718:

its not a balanced game. which is why its not worth playing the game. I 1 shot necros today with berserkers Rifle.. but would get 2 hit by an engi.. figure that out.

Easy solution:

Don’t use gunflame when they are reflecting.

Darknicrofia.2604:

Belial.9350:

Jaetara.4075:

And this is because as an ele you might play godly but still you are not good enough to kill a medium meta necro, engi, revenant, guardian etc. and everyone knows that.

So you’re admitting that scepter ele has no chance to beat the other 1v1 classes, so why do you bother playing it and putting your team at a disadvantage every time? Scrapper does everything better than a scepter ele.

and a focus ele does everything better than a mace guardian, what exactly is that suppose to prove?

And nobody runs mace guardian because d/f ele does its role better, you just reinforced my point.

What’s the point to ban a weapon that nobody uses? You should ban the OP weapon sets like STAFF.

Staff mesmer
Staff revenant
Staff necro
Staff druid
Even Staff thief can be pretty kittened

Feralnex.4071:

All classess should be playable than why not?

Yeah brb going to play turret engi so I can cry about how unfair the system is because I keep losing.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Belial.9350:

err yes ?
-_- ;;;

hmmm it doesn’t show up in combat log ?

It’s always been like that. It’s easy enough to test anyway, just take falling damage and attack a golem.

err yes ?
-_- ;;;

Shoutbow/MM is a thing?

You were a try hard in hotjoin? That’s like a whole new level of tryhard.

Jekkt.6045:

sell elite specs like mobas sell heroes (but make sure they are perfectly balanced.. or it will result in p2w..

They should be perfectly balanced anyway…

Curunen.8729:

Remove portal and moa – watch all mesmers disappear instantly.

Nah you can’t remove portal, it actually takes a brain to use that properly. Remove the double block and double moa.

Supreme.3164:

Mine is an assumption as much as yours this I know already but…
If they did truly reached legendary with a non-HoT account then it’s impossible that they did so without ever facing HoT meta builds and with that in mind I don’t see or can justify their actions in that game.
To lose it’s totally possible, to lose that much at that level? 0-120 score within 1-2m? ….Strongly doubt it

Yeah anyone who is losing the opener by 0-120 is clearly just trying to throw games

sephiroth.4217:

I don’t see anything wrong with staff 5 on Rev, it counters my Necro but it’s useless against my Mes….

Yeah hmm I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that you have over 9000 evades/blocks? Sadly not everyone has this.

BnS is like the most overhyped game of the past year.

SuperduperMLGbsns.9345:

Here is the major point what’s wrong with it:
The wings are not wide spreaden when you are not in combat.

So just press 1 once per 20 seconds when you’re not in combat, what’s the problem

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

i dont like defending revs, coz i think its really powerful skill but u can tell when a rev switch weapons, its also one of the first skill the use upon switching.

Only bad revs will be this predictable.

Amineo.8951:

SkyShroud.2865:

no big deal
i had a team of sapphire beat a team of ruby

there are tons of bad ruby players

as the season progress, there will be many bad diamond players as well
the fact that u dont drop down division is already keeping bad players up there

By the time I think your bad players become average or good if they learn fast.

Well from my experience 99.9% of the PvP population don’t learn fast…

ArthurDent.9538:

Only thing I would kind of like to see with moa is let me jump in it. It is annoying getting stuck in a tiny little area that you can’t get out of because of tiny little ridges that you would normally not pay attention to as you jump over them. That is basically a guaranteed death sentence and I highly doubt mesmers ever plan it out, they just get lucky.

I also noticed the jump problem… I once tried to kill someone low in clocktower as a moa but they jumped up the window and I couldn’t follow…

Rodzynald.5897:

on a weak computer that has low frame per second and with unstable latency.

Yeah try hitting the top tier of any established game with this.

cptaylor.2670:

Nobody groups up in map chat despite spamming for 30 minutes.

Nobody ever did this anyway, why would I want to queue with some random person in map chat when I get the same thing by soloqing?

cptaylor.2670:

Nobody in any of my 5 guilds want to group up.

Is it because this season is complete and utter crap that nobody is interested in it?

Dunno, why don’t you ask the 5 guilds you are in lol.
