GW2 doesn’t work like a MOBA and in certain aspects, like the matchmaking algorithm, it shouldn’t for obvious reasons.
True, GW2 matchmaking sucks a MOBA’s doesnt. As for it being different in other “obvious” area’s? Where may that be then?
We had tournament prizes that were based on donations. We do have community tutorials on build variations. Some tutorials is on Ready Up but people either don’t know or it’s simply not as advertised like Dota2’s startup client is. So it’s kind of what’s already happening, it just isn’t on a grander scale.
How is this even in the slightest comparable to a compendium, ingame tutorial?
ArenaNet isn’t going to spend the resources to advertise these items especially when the community isn’t there just yet. We’ve seen a huge PvP HotM facelift, so it’s very possible that we could see similiar work done after expansion but that’s only if the PvP community takes off.
Heart of the Mist facelift… What?
That’s the spirit just keep waiting untill players magicly appear and then start working on PvP. Not like it takes Anet 10 months to implement a feature and another 10 to have it finally work properly, by which time every1 is already gone again.
And it’s not like there’s people coming back for this lackluster expansion either.
With the interest in PvP dropping by the month, stale tournaments and dropping viewers don’t you think it’s time to switch things up?
Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, why don’t you just copy what other games are doing?
If we take a look at Dota 2:
- Good visible MMR system
- Community involment in price pools. Buy compendium that allows players to get unique skins, predict tournaments, interesting challenges, etc.
- Betting items on tournaments
- Community tutorials on builds
All these things would be perfect in gw2. Why try to be different when it’s all there to be copied?
I’m gna go with fun ppl so

i can queue, queue time was short, less than a minute.
but it seems like certain cancer builds still prevail.
Did you expect people coming out with stronghold specific builds in the 1st hour it was released?
Not to mention most people can’t think for themselves anyway and netdeck streamers.
There won’t be any balance changes nor any content updates untill the expansion, so just stop playing untill then.
Only hope for now is a gem store outfit that ricochets turret shots.
So where is this famous riot?
Leaderboards are meaningless anyways if there are no seperate team and solo queue.
I actually prefer it to be meaningless untill the seperate team leadersboards come in the expansion.
I actually knew what my underwater skills did back then xD
If they move the underwater point on the boat or island I’d like the map more than Skyhammer and Courtyard.
If they keep it as is it could still be fun in hotjoin.
dd ele is the worst thing in the world to watch as a spectator imo. I’d honestly rather have cleric guardians back.
For me it just depends if the meta build is fun.
For example:
I like cele rifle engi, so I play it
dd ele is boring, so i got with d/f or s/f
I don’t usually like Jebro’s casts. But today he and the other guy are doing a good job.
They already did this and reverted it in a week…

Unfortunately his reasons for playing gw2 (boring pve endgame in WoW and stale pvp) are some things that gw2 doesn’t have either. Pvp has basicly been unchanged for a year, even the meta has been the same for almost a year (april 2014). As for pve endgame he already said gw2 had none, but realised that this was gw2’s major flaw and that the devs would be foolish not to fix this in the expansion (which seems very hopeful and I frankly doubt it’s gonna happen).
So all in all I can’t see him staying.
I disagree on the pvp thing. Sure, it’s not perfect, but compared to WoW’s pvp, GW2’s pvp is actually pretty decent.
And obviously HoT is gonna address a lot of issues that GW2 has now, in both pve and pvp.
I didn’t say GW2 pvp was bad. Soda likes WoW pvp, but it has been stale for him. Gw2 pvp atm is the definition of stale.

it’s not my style but that doesn’t mean it should be removed…
Learn and adapt. Turret engis have their weaknesses like anything else. If they leave turrets at other points they are gimping themselves quite a bit in whatever pt they are actually fighting at.
They should be removed. Just not for the reason stated. AI builds lead to bad and lazy players. Anet really shouldn’t be encouraging that by leaving those builds in game with them being so viable.
Not really they just do in this game, Meepo and Brood for example are probably some of the more difficult heroes.
All AI (pets, minions, turrets, etc) need to be micro managed, with illusions perhaps being an exception. They don’t want to do this for the casual players, but even for those it should feel like an achievement if they master it. And even if they don’t it’s not like you need to master anything to succeed in pve, which a part from top fractals (AI isn’t used here anyways) is easy.
anet should have put a bigscreen TV inside the mist and broadcast the event, maybe then I would have seen or knew about it going on. =]
What do you think this is, ALO or something? ;3
It’s huge succes for dota to watch tournaments in the client and get the whole community involved.
For gw2 it probably doesn’t matter as no1 would want to watch this bad pvp anyways.
And who cares about the 50K tournaments. If your reason for playing this game is to make money, then you probably should’ve considered a different game…
who said China was given access to Twitch?
They have their own streaming sites yes. Unfortunately gw2 is either not very popular in China (only Anet knows) or they don’t find it appealing to watch/stream(which we also see on twitch).
For example:
http://www.douyutv.com/directory
http://www.yy.com/index/t/gs/102011
They prolly have their own government controlled version or something…. Also, its not like 1.4 billion people are all aware or even obsessed enough about GW to bother to get a VPN to circumvent the government filters to watch twitch streams.
Is that what they teach you in murica schools /facepalm.
Really do people make a living of playing gw2? Impressive
How did it feel to lose 500-0?
Because you’ve only been playing pvp casually. Many bought this game for the esports they promised before release.
Do you see esports somewhere? I certainly don’t.
What’s he going to do at Gamescom? Hopefully not shoutcast it.
You guys do realise gw2 is nonexistent on yy and douyutv right.
China “esports” get a grip. This game will never be 1
I gotta be honest. I have no idea who Phantaram is.
Some guy who came back for all star fame and who will leave again afterwards .
Easy win for EU 500-0 every game
As a european:
Playing on NA gives me 150-200ms ping → unplayable
Playing on EU gives me 20-50ms ping → barely playable
It’s time to make spvp f2p and launch a massive promotion campaign around doing so. That’s the only way to save this and it might even give more sales for those that like it and want to try pve/wvw
Hello
I haven’t played gw2 in 6 months and I was wondering if there is a way now to remove a skin from an item, so I can either sell it or convert it to pvp. As I have many skins such as Jade weapons, Ghastly Shield etc on a character I no longer play.
Thanks
Pvp in this game isn’t difficult at all not even for MMO’s. Take Aion for example most classes pretty much require you to have <50ms ping. Not to mention a necesary mechanic like weaving takes longer to master than all of gw2’s classes combined.
Ping and weaving? That’s not inherently difficult PvP, that’s poorly implemented PvP then, which makes it difficult to play.
I’m thoroughly impressed that you have mastered all the classes in GW2, though.Heck, chess is easy to play. How many of chess masters are there though?
Disagree. The last thing you want in an action combat MMO is to turn on auto attack and have that account for what? 30% of total dmg simply being there passively? I’d very much welcome weaving in gw2.
As for ping it’s also required in gw2 an example is 2 p/d thief duels. However it’s much more limited, because in general there isn’t much skils that require you to counter under 250ms. Not to mention the way too big margin of error on most classes/builds.

That’s jut one MMO example on the top of my head, I’m sure there’s many more that are harder than a limited skill and spamfest such as gw2.
Esports that has zero professional players sure…
Why add more options when they already struggle to balance with limited options
Remove ranks and tie rewards to actually accomplishing something instead of just playing a lot.
Shame to see this happening to Deso. One of the if not the best pve server, unofficial Spvp server and top 2 (now 3) international server for WvW.
You’d think Deso would be the perfect destination for any player that enjoys multiple types of content.
Still fairly certain Desolation will get trough this.
I bet a lot of viewers just muted and did something else while waiting for the giveaways.
Atleast that’s what I did with these finals and that gvg thing that was being streamed.
Is it too hard? Respect the awesome work

Posted by: Benjamin.7893
No, it’s not too hard. Sadly Super Adventure box is pretty much the only challenging content in the game.
You can’t have your 20vs20 ‘gvg’ as a gamemode like conquest, because it would be impossible to split balance then.
Either have you ‘gvg’ in pve/wvw or make a proper gw1 gvg, which is smaller scale and can share balance with conquest.
Where’s Mogwow?
Have you idk considered clicking on the link?
Remove hotjoin add unranked queue
I think I’m going to save all bags I get from pve/wvw in the hope that it will contain new items next week.
Burn on crit and guardian burn share is just stupid. For such a high hitting condi how are you suposed to avoid it if it’s a passive with no animations… Too bad that doesn’t just go for burn.
Ask them whether or not they think that necro is ‘slightly’ op.
The day Magnetron leaves Desolation is the day Deso becomes #1 again.

Mesmer in XIII on ER server – you are a cheat and using that hack that allows people to jump further and higher than you are able to. Last night I faced a thief with from ER (not the same guild) that was using the same hack.
If you can’t play the game without hacks then don’t play at all… just demonstrates how noob you really are when I kill you.
Dodge jumping…?
Now you’re just being foolish. WvW guilds have people join and leave on a weekly basis, because synergy isn’t that important of a factor. While in tpvp a sub no matter how good he is the team will struggle, because he doesn’t know the rotations or doesn’t have good synergy with the team.
20vs20 people hammering at each other in a blob of particle effects. The only way people could even have a clue wat is happening is from spectating a players pov and even then most of the micro goes lost, so I don’t see the reason why it should have spectator or even leaderboards as it’s totally not competitive.
Sorry but you are wrong if you think there is no strategy or player skill. The strength of a GvG are not the individual player alone but how they play together. Group coordination, strategy and player placements are more important than trying to duel 1 specific players.
If you would take the time to watch video you would realize that it is more complex than you think.
Where did I say that it doesn’t require strategy or skill? I’ve played in a handfull ‘gvgs’ (if you can even call it that) myself btw. All I said is that it is not spectator friendly or competitive so no reason for spectator mode or leaderboards.
I’m all for adding little fun gamemodes to the game to spice things up. However forcing them to be competitive when they’re not will just divide an already small community.
That’s because from rank 10-19 you get deer(?) tokens which make those krait weapons and armor sets. If you want new armor you’d have to get rank 20 which will reward you dolyak tokens or do tournaments for tournament tokens.
