Guild Wars 2

Hey there. I started gw2 a year after launch and played it pretty hardcore until HoT came out.
I tried HoT and i hated it (PvP wise) and i quit the game. I tried getting into it a few times since then but now with the new xpac comming out i want to actually play gw2 again.

My problem is, all i do is basically pvp and i dont know any of the pve content of HoT at all.
What is there to do? Are fractals/raids profitable to make some gold? Should i bother trying to level that whole mastery system?
And… How do i have fun in the game other than pvping now days?

Thanks!

Hi. I started playing guild wars 2 about a year or more after launch and it was almost exclusively PvP. I took long breaks of months, or a year, but I always ended up comming back to the game.
I am nowhere near a pro/top player, was just like somewhat around top 50 solo Q in vanilla when we actually had solo Q, and a random plat player on season 5 now (I haven’t played any other seasons, I quit right after HoT came cuz kitten bunker meta) .

Now that I have introduced myself, I will just leave my 2 cents here, as I care and like this game a lot:
I have been gaming for a looong time, most popular MMOs, some mobas, some FPS’s, you name it. Throughout the years I have never, ever met a game with such potential as Guild Wars 2.

The 5v5 conquest mode, the well designed maps, unlike other 5v5 conquest games, where you can kite like a kitteng parkour master and the skill goes beyond just mechanical combat, but actual map understanding.
The combat, even if it’s “tab targetting”, it’s so fluid, so different, unique action tab combat, super fast actions, thinking, oh man… The graphics, the transmogs, this game has SO MUCH TO OFFER to a PvP player.

I could just make a huge list of amazing stuff we have here, but we all know (or remember at least) already.

ARENA NET, Please don’t let this game to be gone completely, I believe that theres still time to salvage and save what we have left, communicate more with your community, DON’T kitten TAKE FOREVER to add new seasons, people that only PvP have no interest in just playing normals, it’s boring…. Talk to your pro players, listen to your base community about balance issues, it would take you “so little” to make this into the greatest PvP MMO again.

I’m just your average “nobody” decent player, but I figured that if I care I should leave my opinion here as well.

Great idea, everyone should vote yes.
One of the reasons myself and many others I’m sure, have quitted the game is the frustration of wanting to play your main class, and having to deal with whatever is the flavor of the month class stacked 2-3 times almost every game because people switch to it to “counter” you,

My main was always teef, but I played it all expect for necro, engi and ele

Hello,
I quit playing the game completely a little bit after the expansion. I played 90% for the PvP, ESL, AG tournaments, etc, we didn’t even have ranked ladders like we have now back then.

But the meta was complete aids, and I lost interest, a bunch of mongoloides running super bunky condi and trying to outsustain each other and slowly kill you with condi.
But I see that it has changed now, back to the good ol’ days of burst wars, where condi is still super strong, so that’s nice.

Though I have noticed that the game died out A LOT, Gw2 used to be like the 2nd most popular MMO right after WoW, but now it’s…. Pretty empty, which is still a ton of people playing 24/7, just less compared to what it used to be.

But my question is : In all honesty, is it worth, is it fun to play the game PvP wise currently? Please no generic answer like > Anet no care for pvp, pvp bad. Would really appreciate something constructive.

Thank you for your time!

Hello,
I have not played the game since a little bit after HoT release, and i’m just getting back into it.
I’ve seen that a lot of things are different, and i’m curious about money making right now.
What would be the most profitable / not braindead suicidewishes ways of making a good income now days?

Dungeons and fotm is worth doing? Silverwastes no lifeing?
Any suggestion, advice or tip are more than welcome.

Thank you.

Hello there,
I have not played the game since a little before they released this whole leagues and pips thing, I used to be mainly a PvP player.
But I have seen that a lot of stuff is different now, and PvP is kinda dying (?), when it used to be really healthy and solid last year when I was still playing.

Is it even worth “tryharding” pvp now days? Mainly solo q or duo q. Is it all cancer condi everywhere? Do we still have leagues going on?
And any general thoughts, advices or tips are more than welcome.

Thank you.

they sell every piece but NOT the coat.

Hey there.
I have been looking everywhere for this information, no success yet.
Anyone knows how to get the Bladed Jerkin? I’m desperate for it! Lol.

Thanks.

Since we are a “Esports wannabe” game, and nobody likes to be in a really long Q, we could follow the example of other esports games, like League of Legends (I am not a league of legends player).
Make a solo/duo queue system, and a group queue system.

Duo queue can’t carry that hard, as you can see the top professional players duo que’ing and losing games left and right all the time, live on twitch.

Theres no reason not to have solo (or solo/duo) queue system, we all want it, it would solve so many problem.
Premade vs pugs is just not fun, who the kitten enjoys losing a 500×50 game against a premade?
Who the kitten enjoys beating 500×50 a game against pugs? Nobody.

Cynz.9437:

um it is not new….. you should have seen what frost bow + time warp can do vs entire team <_<

I did a quick video of us kittening around with icebow stealth, time warp would not be viable, how would we stealth? Plus the CD on it is pretty massive. Maybe with thief+ele+mesmer yeah, not with 2 people.

And I PvP all the time, can’t remember anyone doing some icebow fun recently, that’s why I said “brought back from the dead”

After weeks of research and development we, The Decent Couple[Okay], achieved the mastery of the new PvP tactics.

With the strategic use of the Elementalist and Thief professions (phantaram and magic toker would be proud), we brought back from the dead an ancient method of stealth bursting!
Prepare to see that in the next ESL!

LOL :P trying to get some laughs in the middle of all the chaotic rage threads about everything.
Enjoy.

maybe the problem is you, have you thought about it?

Please fix the nades exploit, it’s ridiculous… They can one shot anything in 0.5 seconds, look at this combat log.

d/p thief is almost unplayable now with this bug, and i assume every other stealth based build is kittened up, please fix this.

I sent an in game mail for the 3 names on your list yesterday, but no answer…

LOL funny guy probably mains an celestial build and defending it.
Celestial Eles/Engis are obviously broken and need a nerf immidiately.

The whole game knows that, the whole game is talking about that, we need this problem to get fixed.

I’ve been losing at least 10 games a day because i get placed against full premades, and when i premade it’s soooo boring to smash pugs 500-0.
You really have to change it, Anet.

You gotta give solo arena back, i’m so sick of getting into stupid kittenin full premades while solo que’ing, that was a kittened decision to merge the queues, what the fuuck were you thinking about????

“ohhh guys, lets merge the solo que’ers with full premades, should be balanced, sounds like a great idea to improve the pvp!!!!11111!!!!!”
?

Is it possible to get an answer from Anet about it?
A class/build balance is really necessary to these celestial runners.

Just look into your own tournaments right now, the teams that TRY to play something different than stacking celestial Ele’s / Engi’s just lose 500 – 20. Is that really how you want to force your players to play ? Celestial bunky supporty sustain or bust ?

Not as huge as eles

Yep, it’s confirmed, my matches quality drop A LOT, i really mean, A LOT, since the changes, it was way better before.
Please switch it back.

Ok, i do agree with everything posted here, but this is not a “plz nerf celestial” thread.
Celestial is fine the way it is, it’s just the way it’s working on elementalists that makes the whole combination extremely broken.

Yea it’s really strong on warriors and engis too, but you won’t see an warrior or engi making such huge impact on a match, as an “Celementalist”.
I think the fact they have access to simply everything, is just too much.
Their main damage abilities are incredibly easy to dodge, yea, but they got a decent ammount of cc to make it work, and it’s not like you’ll have endurance bar full always every 8 secs.

I don’t think theres anyone enjoying the queues being merged.
It’s really stupid when you solo queue and get placed with 4 pugs to fight against a full premade and get smashed.
Or when you queue with a full premade, and smash 5 solo queue pugs.

I never mentioned the word “nerf” here.

Some changes to the abusive sustain, thats the point.

I think Elementalists are kinda “broken” and it is necessary to make some chances on the class.

The current meta builds can perform basically all the roles in a single build, power damage, condi damage, bunk, support, heals, they just got everything, it’s just too much.

It’s unfair to the other classes, that have to focus on one specific role, when the elementalists can just do it all on a single build, making it extremely overpowered.
It’s silly that a dagger/dagger elementalist can simply be tankier than a bunker guardian/warrior, but still be outputing a big ammount of damage, and giving heals/condi clear to the group.

Please take a look into the class, Anet.

I’m stuck for 15 hours, its the 4th time it happens this week.
I’m about to quit playing Guild Wars 2, again.

My account is stuck there for about 5 hours, I can’t acess any of my characters.

None of my characters can get past the character select screen, they are just stuck on the loading screen forever.

I’m having that issue.
it’s so terrible and annoying, i’m for hours stuck there and can’t connect any of my characters.

Again, the game is unplayable because it’s stuck at loading screen, all my characters, I simply cannot log in.
Is it possible to fix it? I will end up leaving the game again if they don’t fix it soon..

I’m getting stuck all the time in the loading screen when switching between maps after matches in solo arenas.
Is it only me? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Same problem here, i cannot login my thief.
If I try to create a new character it’s working normaly, but when i try to play my thief i’m just stuck in the loading screen.
Please fix it ASAP.
