Guild Wars 2

kwiyomi gwiyomi

1/10th the guardian of Davinci
1/29th the ele of Kuro

This is madness. This is an insult to ever player in the game, pvper and pve alike. It is a direct insult to the honor family name of Symba.

Since when is gold nothing?

30 silver for serious effort in a TPvP match is tantamount to nothing. You get more silver selling the loot for afk auto-attacking most world bosses for 2-3 minutes in PvE.

I think 30 silver should be increased a bit but please think from a different perspective.

I play PvP 99% of my game time, to me, being able to earn some gold from spvp is nice.(Assuming gold is going to become the common currency for both pvp and pve, compared to only being able to spend glory on pvp only items, I will end up having choices, and choices is good, and it promotes PvE population trying out PvP and vise versa)

I don’t see TPvP as an effort, because, winning or losing, I’m enjoying the process a lot, on the other hand, I hate doing PvE content, so regardless of the rewards, I stay away from it.

Sometimes it’s not about how MUCH you earn, is about earning Enough while ENJOYING the process. And ANET’s first move is to attract more people who will eventually enjoy PvP as well….

you could craft dyes previously from PvP salvages and in turn make gold lol

I crafted ~50 dyes or so, made about 30G from it (all beit, 2 of them were 10G a peice lol, so I got a bit lucky)

but yea. you could make gold previous through dye crafting…

Right now, pvp is about as dead as I’ve ever seen it lol

Thanks, just what I needed, 2 months of rewardless PvP.

And don’t give me this gold reward nonsend

champ train = 40-45 champ bags an hour. If I want gold i go do that
If I want gold and FUN , than I can also go do high lvl fracs/wvw.

spvp? gold reward is laughable per hour…why on earth would THAT of all things be the reward? we can’t get some tokens or something here? i mean seriously?

I understand you. But my point is:
Do what you enjoy doing the most, if earning gold is what attracts you to the game, no problem, I adore that too. Don’t base everything around reward, the TRUE reward of a game is enjoying fun time with the people you like playing with.

Think about this… back in the old days, why are people playing counter strike 24/7 in the internet cafe? There’s no drop? There’s no state, games ends everything carries over.

The gaming industry later on noticed that a reward system will encourage more players and more gaming hours, but let’s not forget the true essence of gaming.
Is really to do something you love doing and have fun.

Only team with 5 skilled players quit. Gl gw2 lol

Why did you switch from your engi to your warrior. Must be because engi or any other class isn’t viable, because we all know that’s the only reason cheese mode ran 2 warriors. HAHAHA

Anet is the victim, we must protect the victim. If we wait another 1.5 years our population might “grow” as we have been told. We must be patient as the golden days are soon coming. THE GLORIOUS ADVENTURE TO THE MOON IS COMING, resources are coming!!!!!!!!!!! soon.

WOW, the lack of respect for other players here is mind boggling. This thread should be immediately locked.

This thread is calling out a specific group of players, thread termination incoming.

Karl the great frowns upon us, all hope is lost.

The OP’s question has been answered, this thread should now be locked.

With the lack of respectful constructive criticism in this thread, I believe it should be locked/deleted.

This thread is not constructive, prepare for impending deletion.

We aren’t second-class citizens. I know it kind of seems that way right now, but big things are coming that we just can’t talk about. We’re still cranking, trust me!

This is a joke right. The is like one of those posts where you are making an innuendo to make fun of pvp. I see you. 1.5 years.

alchemyst.2165:

Yeah. Anet please… First of all you’re not giving us anythinggggg????? All you’re doing is making a practically useless poison even more useless. The only reason I use it is for the weakness, and even THAT is pretty bad.
Give us good stuff now! Im done with all the frivolous nerfs!

“poison is useless” HAHAHAHA

Adamantium.3682:

There sure is a lot of misinformation in this thread. Decap Engi has far too many weaknesses to be considered OP in my eyes. Compare it to a build that is actually OP with little to no weaknesses (Hambow) really puts it into perspective. A decap Engi is simply an effective bunker with more weaknesses and more CC than the average bunker. Call it a higher risk/reward bunker.

I don’t play one, but I’m sure just because I have Engineer in my signature this post has already been ignored and about to be flamed. Such is the way of the sPvP forums!

“Higher risk and higher reward” HAHAHAHAHAHA

Mattidore.3482:

Love all this QQ about Warriors now that they’ve become viable in pvp. I’ve played warrior and only warrior since beta, you probably didn’t play warrior when we were just easy roflstomp prey for pretty much every class.

Naw naw, there is a difference between being viable and being broken. The fact that you have played warrior since beta doesn’t change the fact that warrior is broken as kitten right now lol. Also, there is a lot of players who played warrior before the huge buffs and did fine.

Darkness AC19 actually made a good thread, holy kitten. The truth of the matter is that if Anet truly believed that pvp was balanced/good/had any future they would have implemented weekly, or at least monthly, tournaments similar to something like smite for even 500 dollars or something along those lines. Anet isn’t that stupid though, and realize that pvp is like a steaming pile of kitten, hence why they don’t do jack kitten. To my knowledge the only tournament that Anet sponsored was a kitten pax tourney that was organized by MIST LEAGUE. MIST LEAGUE THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!! #freenattyportman

MM Necro is ridiculous.
They call Warrior OP, but we need be fast and be aware all time fo stand alive while MM Necro only stay stop in center of the node and do this:

obs: without count conditions…

“fast and be aware all the time to stand alive” in order to play warrior. Holy kitten, no wonder why Hijo-Man defected back to the dumpster behind the taco stand.

Healing signet “nerf” HAHAHA

Naw brah naww. Even before they were broken warrior was easy to play. The only difference was before if you in general knew what you were doing in pvp you would be fine. Now of course you can just smash your keyboard and be effective.

I can’t wait for the first reply from a dev to be some horrible joke with an innuendo hinting at how kittenty this game is.

What the kitten is Nero supposed to do when he comes back for his visits to see what changes the patch did. At least last time he stayed for 10 minutes to duel Henrique “ese” “hman” “hijo boy” Gonzalez to see how broken warrior is. HOLY kitten WHAT THE kitten IS NERO SUPPOSED TO DO.

1. The Longbow up until the Dec 10 Patch had received no changes since the game was released roughly 1 year and 4 months prior. We are now seeing the long bow being nerfed into the ground? 1st it was conbustive shot now it is pin down. Can you please explain why for over a year and during the time warriors were considered not viable in SPVP the long bow was consider very balanced and now it is not?

2. Hammer see 1.

3. The mace received a significant Buff when compounded with a bugged sigil it was quite overpowered. After the Sigil was nerfed you felt that it was still too strong.

Can you please elaborate the reasoning by making every single skill a warrior can do to be highly telegraphed when you do not apply those same rules to other professions. It is one thing for a skill to be telegraphed if it should land to be devastating. Its another thing for a skill to be highly telegraphed that if it should land be lackluster. ANET you appear to want it both ways with the warrior balancing not only can you not land a skill because its now clunky and slow but if you do land it is weak.

4. Healing signet. Before Healing signet warrior was not viable in SPVP. They lacked sustain. Did you buff it too much or was it buffed very in line with other professions abilities to sustain themselves? From our perspective the case is both. But do you not think it is fair that if healing sig is nerfed that all other professions that are capable of sustain to see their sustainability nerfed as well? You said you want warriors to activate the signet sometimes as your reasoning for nerfing it that is fine, but there are a few other signets we think you should buff too not just warrior ones. That most people do not use because they are not useful. Rather than nerfing healing sig why don’t you just give warriors some sustain that doesn’t rely on healing signet? We know that warriors will not activate it. It better heal for more than it would heal passivly during its cool down. Oh right you are nerfing its passive effect to make it appear that it will heal better but it wont heal better isn’t this correct?

5. Anet you seem to have no problem with other professions having passive play, with no telegraphed skills that do devastating damage all while they have huge amounts of sustain. This whole nerf warrior thing is just a witch hunt, soon as all of the work you guys did to make warriors viable in SPVP many of the professions that were always and already viable in SPVP will be god mode and warrior will be bottom of the list again isnt this correct?

Technically longbow had two buffs before, one was decreasing the attack speed on fan of fire, the other was putting bleeds on pin down. The fan of fire buff was actually huge because it became much easier to land. The pin down buff was huge because it not only made possible condi builds much stronger, it also made it more difficult to cleanse because it was two condis. As far as combustive shot and pin down being nerfed they should have been a long time ago, to say that a 3.5 second immob with no animation was balanced is kittening hilarious. Also, to say that warrior was not viable in pvp before anet made them broken is HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The fact that people are crying about warriors being nerfed is great though. Alas, hopefully warrior will be nerfed to the ground like d/d triple cantrip eles were back in the day.

So you are hoping classes get completely destroyed like d/d ele because you are just bad at the game?

Blackjack.5621:

someone is mad lol, we play double warrior because my main class isn´t viable btw

First of all, the effectiveness of the “you’re so mad/angry” cliche is debatable so we can just skip over that. The only thing I don’t understand is how “we play double warrior because my main class isn’t viable btw” is used to justify anything. There are only two sensible line of thinkings you can have if you and your team honestly thought that.

Instance one: You, and your team, believe that every other class is unviable, basically saying that necros, engis, mesmers are not viable. I can comprehend why you would say eles are not viable, but the other three classes, or at least two of them, I don’t see how you could say that necros and engis arn’t viable.. Then of course you’re also saying that doubling up on any other class your team is running, other than warrior, is also kitten. Which you can debate, maybe even beneficial, to your arguments sake, but to say that you “only play double warrior cuz ele sucks” and that you can’t run an engi or necro doesn’t make as much sense.

Instance two: Warrior is a kitten easy class to play, and at the same time the most effective, thus making running two full of hilarity. Which would basically mean your team decided to run two because it broken.

With these two possible line of thinkings taken into consideration, if you honestly think that necros and engis suck then your argument makes sense. On the other hand if you pretty much just decided to run two warriors because its broken, then I don’t see how that would give you any special insight to make a statement of stating that “warriors rely on lyssa runes.”

Warriors depend on lyssa? YES SIR, because clearly cleansing ire, zerkers stance, and healing sig are not enough to deal with conditions. The only reason warriors use lyssa is cuz when they get outplayed it like oh kitten, ill just pop lyssa so I can become hulk mode for five kittening seconds. HAHAHA, this concept of warriors depending on lyssa is almost as stupid as 90% of Arena Nets “improvements” to pvp.

To those that do not understand the great sataarcoeny reference within this post, in the words of the great Hiba, “Talk kitten get kittented”

You will still be able to flop your kitten around and be viable. Healing signet, zerkers stance (which you can easily run instead of frenzy in lb/gs), cleansing ire (which should really be reverted back into the original two traits due to the other bullkitten we got), and lyssa runes (which although may not be “broken” on other classes, is stupid as kitten with sig of rage, while mixed with all the other elements of warrior). Nothing will change, fumbling your kitten around and playing warrior will still be the same. This is of course, until Arena Net decides to finally nerf (aka nerfing things that shouldn’t be nerfed until finally nerfing healing sig or some combo that would balance the class) which will make the class a flaming pile of kitten, similarly to what happened to triple cantrip eles. Until the cycle of intentionally making classes broken for several months, and then turning them into a pos comes back around.

This post is dedicated to Sataarcoeny, who’s body is still MIA since walking 20 miles to Disney land.

In the words of the defender of the nest, “c’est la vie”

And in the words of the Team U S A captain, the flying Canadian, Hiba “Talk kitten, get kittented”

I don’t think any players honestly give a kitten that someone wanted to farm a pvp rank, if anything they’d probably feel bad for the people that wasted so much time doing jumping off a map. I mean lets be honest, pvp is a flaming dog pile of kitten. The interesting thing will be to see if the players that used this method are punished via bans, as players who have abused exploits in pve to lvl up in a significantly faster way have been banned. The question is, will Anet take the same route here? Or will they let it slide because Arenanet also doesn’t give a flying kitten about pvp.

Edit: Also, don’t forget that if this was an issue with using a method to significantly lvl up faster in PvE a solution/fix would be found much more quickly. While in this situation, people wanting a fix will more than likely have to wait for a duration of at least the next “game changing” pvp patch.

Now for my take on the current state of warrior:
As probably none of you know, I have played warrior since the betas , I am not a big name player nor am I good player, but I, as anyone else can see, that right now warrior is an absolute disgrace to any pvp balance. Now, I understand that many warriors probably feel justified in their buff, as demonstrated by the countless warrior QQ threads for months, and now that the warrior has not only been buffed to “viability in their minds” but mind blowing ridiculousness, those original warrior QQ thread posters have disappeared. I believe that those players that have now disappeared from the forums are an absolute disgrace, as now that they have their little broken face roll joke of balance they no longer provide their “insightful constructive comments” that was ever prevalent in their crusade for “warrior viability”. Instead, those players that once ran rampant with QQ on the forums disappear and now allow a broken warrior to rampant in pvp.

Personally, I believed that warrior was completely fine before Arena net started breaking the class a month or two ago. Warrior was countered heavily by conditions, which was completely fine, there were alternatives to this for a warrior to take. A warrior could use several methods to deal with conditions, such as melandru runes or signet of stamina, yes these would decrease the damage output in trade for more anti condition survivability. This was completely balanced though, as you trade damage for more survivability, a very simple concept to understand. Then cleansing ire was implemented, allowing warriors to clear condis via burst skills, once again you would sacrifice damage for survivability. Up to this point warriors were completely fine, they had very viable ways to sacrifice damage for more survivability, aka balance.

Now what we have in the current state of warriors is an absolute joke. With the buff to healing signet, granting warriors a passive base heal of 400 per second, it gave warriors huge sustain especially in 1v1s. Add that on with the fact that 90% warriors are probably running that with triple stance, is this not so similar to the old school triple cantrip eles. In three stances you get 2 stun breaks, 8 base seconds of stab, 4 seconds of immunity to physical damage, and 8 seconds of immunity to condition damage. It is very easy to argue that triple stance and healing signet is even more broken than triple cantrip eles. But not only do warriors have access to all this, they are also allowed to run cleansing ire, hammer cd reduction, a passive stab proc, melandru runes/lyssa runes, and burst mastery, essentially making warriors so tanky that they can run a zerker ammy and still be tanky. But wait, lets not forget about the fact that warriors can run soldiers amulet, making them even more tanky, and still does insane amounts of damage due to the 10 point trait of unsuspecting foe. So essentially, what you have is a warrior that can do 10+ k damage in one hammer combo while their enemy is stunned the entire time, or a warrior that had a 4 second stun skull crack with no animation on an 8 second cool down. Now I highly doubt anyone is actually enjoying playing against this, I mean like come on the guy is just whiffing all his stuns but has so much sustain that he is going to kill you eventually. And as far as playing a 3x stance, healing signet warrior, I don’t know how you could actually enjoy just running around demolishing people while not even outplaying them.

As a result of all this what you have is Schwahrheit’s favorite phrase, “Pathetic Trash.”

I would now like to conclude with some quotes:

“Superior … superior … superior” – Hiba

“c’est la vie” – Ostrich

“I’m an idiot” – pandaaz (stobes)

“some day i’ll be king” – Symbaaaaa

“brb walking 20 miles at disney” Sataa

Below I will list some components of the game that I have some comments on:

Leaderboards – These were kitten, decay is non existent, and in fact the logarithms intended for player decay have actually caused many players that didn’t/haven’t touched pvp in months to climb in their “leaderboard rank”. It is in my personal opinion that if you have not yet not given a kitten about the leaderboards than you probably should start not giving a kitten.

Soloque – This feature was added with good intent, but has some flaws/misdirection with it. First of all, I would advise people not too take solo que seriously, and that it is more or less there for you to mess around with some fun builds. As alluded to earlier, there is no reason to even take the leaderboards seriously, both in team arena and solo que, eliminating a purpose to take solo que seriously. Furthermore, it is also in my belief that players should not be getting angry over solo que, while losing isn’t fun, you shouldn’t be getting mad at your 4 random teammates, at least in the current solo que environment in place. That being said, I believe that Anet should openly state what their intentions are for solo que, whether it is supposed to be the “playground” to mess around in which is currently is, or if their intent was to make solo que a feature that would allow players to acclimate themselves with competitive pvp, which would lead them to form teams, which would equate to a better competitive scene. If their intent was indeed to acclimate players to competitive pvp they would need to remove skyhammer and spirit watch from the map rotation. That being said, I have no clue what arena net’s intent is for the direction of soloque.

Current meta – The current meta is absolute kitten, that all is to be said.

TP/TC Leaving – Tis dark days for the guild wars 2 community, Tp/Tc was really the only noteworthy team that I can think of that has been around since the beta weekend events. They were important figureheads for the community and will be missed. They were screwed over because Anet was apparently unable to get some legal issues fixed or some BS like that. Alas, thank you TP for what you did over the course of one year in gw2.

Moderation over the forums – I agree with the people that have stated that Arena net is quick to act to sensor or delete particular forum material, but is slow to act in actual relevant topics. I can recall a time in which a thread which I believe ostrich posted, which concerned a huge issue due a patch, that had prevented players from queing up for tourneys. It took at least 4 days for arena net to even respond to this thread with 50+ posts from players that were negatively affected due to a problem caused by arena net. In the mean time you have devs/mods posting quirky comments essentially making fun of their own kittenty meta in their own kittenty pvp.

I think we need to add some more quotes in honor of some of our champions of the mist:

“I’m just keeping if professional” – Blinx (In response to rumors of him being cut happy)

“I’ll brb, gonna walk 20 miles to disney with my kids in 20 minutes” – Sataarcoeny (Every 20 minutes)

“This is why we can’t have nice things” – Doyourbestbear (In response to the NA PvP community)

“You are all pathetic trash” – Schwahrheit (AKA the Juan Ton, 4 time quitter of pvp, one of the original longbow warriors)

“Suck My diiiiii duuuuu” – Hman (In response to racist comments made by Lucifers Gift)

“I’m an idiot” – Schnigle 2013

First of all, lets just establish the glaring fact that warriors have never been as bad as people have cried about in the past 10 months. For those that do not know, warrior has always had access to the best body cleave in the game. If by some way the opposing team is able to res a downed player, while you or any other warrior is hundred blading it, it because you either reacted too slowly to the dead body, or the rest of your four teammates are literally standing there doing nothing as 2-3 opposing players res their teammate. Then there are the people that complain about warriors not being able to win a 1v1 for their life, when if fact, considering most people run a greatsword build, if you land a good whirlwind in a 1v1 you should have a good chance of winning that 1v1. Then of course there are the players that still complain about conditions ripping apart warriors. Which at this point, makes absolutely no sense considering that cleansing ire was implemented last patch, essentially allowing warriors to cleanse at least 2 condis every 10 seconds, and sometimes 3. Then of course there are rune alternatives, such as melandru runes that significantly aid warriors against condis, and of course there is signet of stamina, which due to signet mastery now being one of the best choices in the adept tree for the discipline tree, is a full condi cleanse on a 36 cd. That is a decent to a good collection of condition cleanse, considering that warriors are still able to do a good deal of damage even with this cleanse. Yet, of course, people still cry about how they can’t do the same damage if they decide to go the condi clear route, which I personally do not know if it’s because people don’t understand there will also be some sort of counter to every class in every game, in this case conditions countering warriors. Or there is also the possibility that people want warriors to be an unstoppable force that does the same damage, while being immune to conditions entirely. Which leads to the point, where the warrior community it just a microcosm of the entire guild wars 2 na pvp community, as most players would rather be given something on a silver platter, than deal with what they are given. To conclude, I understand the how, of the reasoning behind people crying, which is because this generation expects to just be given things, but the thing that I don’t understand is the why, considering the fact that there is 5 teams on north america, and 1-2 of those teams don’t even care enough to play other than when there’s a tournament of some “significance,” and there is really no reason to try and fix the game when there isn’t even a community to sustain a competitive environment.

I realize that this thread will have no impact on the amount of warrior QQ threads, but alas, tis the life of guild wars 2. I would also like to acknowledge the admirable acts of The Captain Groucharoo, for his efforts in trying to save the undeserving NA Community, but I urge thee to abandon the sinking ship and save yourself. I would also like to extend a “good luck” to our comrades across in the atlantic in the sons of stalin, the foul european fiends such as Denshee, and the future pharaoh of egypt, Prince Vanish. And I would like to end with a quote by the great Admiral Hiba:

“Talk kitten, get talked kittented”

Before I begin with my reply explaining why this is an absolute disgrace on the part of Anet, even though it is blatantly evident, let me first give you the story of ostricheggs. Ostricheggs is one of the most dedicated spvp players in the game, a genuinely good samaritan, that probably promotes and inspires more people to continue playing this game more than any of the “game breaking” pvp patch mishaps that Anet could ever hope to produce. In this thread, Ostrich is simply asking for any sort okittennowledgement, on behalf of you, Anet, to demonstrate to not only ostrich and the unknown number of players who have been suffering from this bug, but also to your entire pvp player base that you are aware of this bug. Even the famed and dreaded word of “soon” would be satisfactory in this particular situation in either this thread, or the thread in the bug report section pertaining to the same topic, which have both been posted for at least a duration of 5 days. But for whatever reason, you, Anet, have deliberately denied this simple gesture to Ostricheggs and the rest of the fine gentlemen affected by this absolute abomination. Now you might be wondering why I chose to include the word “deliberately”, which can simply be answered with the fact that threads that in any way, shape, or form criticise Anet are promptly and immediantly removed from the forums. Now in this situation you have a fine gentlemen, along with an unknown number of players, that are simply asking you, Anet, for a response, and have included no form of “badmouthing” anet in their request. What really boggles the mind here is that you, Anet, have many times in the past shown that you, Anet, are completely capable of swiftly taking actions, such as quickly taking down any “badmouthing” of your company, and then proceding to “banhammer” those individuals. To be honest I have no plausible explanation for you deciding to not acknowledge this problem. Is it possible that you, Anet, refuse to live up to your mishaps, all Anet employes took a nice long break for the easter holiday, Bluxgore is too busy playing Smite with former gw2 players, or perhaps Ostrich, and the rest of these fine gentlemen, are simply not high enough on the “Anet Hugging Totem Pole”, where if you schmooze your way far enough up you can land such benefits such as jobs, instantly shortening tournament “ready up stages” on request while on stream, or even make a show called state of the game where the past 8 installments are copy jobs. Now if you may Anet, please give this gentlemen what they have an entitlement to, and acknowledge that you are fully aware of this bug.

You should post this in the game bugs section where it will be noticed a lot faster

It has been in the bugs section for two days and they haven’t even acknowledged it in any way, shape, or form.

On behalf of myself, and my warrior comrade davinci, we offer our congratuations for the recent haste nerf, specifially for the warrior profession. Throughout our journey together, we have experienced an abundance of blatant brokeness of the frenzy utility on the warrior. It was clear that the frenzy utility needed a nerf, as it was completely broken and unfair how one could deal so much damage while taking 50% more damage. We are also not only glad, but proud, of each of you for ensuring that you took not only the proper, but professional precautions before introducing this into your wonderful gamebreaking patch. Among these precautions include your generous buff to pin down, and of course, the great buff of banners. Furthermore, we are also filled with immense joy over the fact that you resisted temptations to buff such utilities such as bolas or kick. And so, in the words of caed and vexeus, thank you friends, and I will leave you with the well known saying of the keeper of the eggs, defender of the nest, and conductor of the silver chest express:

c’est la vie

c’est la vie (The translation of the phrase into the language of the people of Hiba)
