Druids are overpowered in wvw

in WvW

Druids are OP in wvw.

Feels like watching ele back in 2012~2013 but with more mobility , healing , kiting

Why is this class can stealth ,

heal more than support ele does ,

superior kiting range from 1200~1500 ,

hits hard even with stacked toughness and vitality ,

they are extremely hard to kill and hard to ignore/run from

Seriously some of class like druids , condi mesmers , condi trap thief makes wvw extremely boring and unhealthy to play

Hi Midori,

All of these classes can be dealt with, providing you play your chosen class well and face the challenge head-on and practice over and over and over again.

You’ll get there ! The best way to meet the challenge is to duel good players until you see the pattern and overcome their strengths and learn to exploit their weaknesses.

Good luck !

Not with all the exploits and hacks going on no amount of “practice” is going to over come that kitten when mes can one hit kill a tanky build…im more surprised if I “dont” see cheats and exploits every day.. and oh op im a druid and while im tanky as hell im not really OP..its more the individuals doing the cheats then the class as a whole unless were talking about cheap perma stealth thieves it feels like they all are on that kick lately every once in a while ill find a legit thief and that’s actually a fun fight..im still holding out hope Anet will start cracking down on some of it..

Actually other then the bag in box in bag in suitcase system…lol the rewards them selves are ok you can get ascended gear in wvw here and there and that’s good the mode itself isn’t about “bag farming” as a general rule tho that said if you couldn’t fill your bags then you were running with the wrong group im always encumbered in wvw.. but ide bet the bulk of wvw players dont log in looking to score mind blowing loot its about having fun in battle and seeing how you go..

Server transfers

Ive transferred once in all the time ive played going on 2 years now and only reason we transferred was cause our server was dead..seriously if you need more then 2 transfers a year you ether make epicly poor choices or your jumping servers deliberately to stack im thinking more the later..I say they should only allow like 2 or 3 transfers a year on all accounts that should be more then enough or they should triple the current cost…enough of this server jumping already its not helping WvW at all…

What the heck happened to WvW?

Hacks, Mega blobs, server linking, the list goes on take your pick..its getting harder and harder to find a decent commander running in wvw at any time.. and forget romeing that’s just not happening when the other server cant beat you 1v1 so they come back with a blob to make sure they can get the job done..lol or the newest exploit OP immortal revs/mes…other then when I can join in on my guilds weekly runs ive been kinda not bothering besides the match ups have become stale as hell..its always the same servers on each other…

Most thieves are nothing but pure cheap stealth anymore even going into it to do the finisher..That said unless they are cheating on a good day when I dont feel like kitten and am on my game I can kill them with my ranger

WvW done

Calista.1975

I hear you OP I actually liked the new system for the 1st few weeks until the matches got stale. To be fair I think alot of the blame for WvWs issues has to also be put on the players shoulders the ones who seam to have nothing else to do but sit in mommy’s basement and figure out how to cheat and exploit and still play the system. You cant even rome anymore with out being picked off by power house boon sharing immortal rev/mes combos just another exploit by people who “have to win” Or when server players can run while fully dead..I think Anet def needs to lock down the transfer system maybe 1 or 2 transfers per year on all accounts might sound extreme but it would get the job done and stop stacking. I dont know hopefully they will start doing something to revive WvW its become predictable and kinda boring at the moment..

Ranger discrimination.. lol

I run ranger in wvw as my main I cant tell you how many times ive crippled and tormented the hell out of the other servers zergs then the heavy’s move in and wipe them while I pick off the stragglers..not to mention when im sniping runners in front of our zerg or on crowed control and knocking back enemies who wanna siege disable us…

Honestly it sounds like it might be your server ive never had that happen to me to date also end of the day you just cant make everyone happy op set yourself up the best you can to be effective and if you are running in a zerg be alert and make sure to do your part..that’s about all you can do..

Sic em – gank em. Works most of the times, unless they run away ants in mah pants style.

I never found Sic-em to be very useful on thieves but I have found my Axes to be a life saver especially the whirling move they usually arnt expecting it when they rolll up on me all stealthy like doing their twinkle toes moves..once ive smacked them around a bit and taken half their life I hit the binding vines and maybe a few traps it usually finishes them off nicely thieves use to be a big issue until I learned how to deal with them..seams most just arnt expecting a ranger to pull out any kind of melee..lol

Suggestion: Subscription Plans

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Calista.1975

Calista.1975

I read in another thread no one offering ideas for making money so this thread is intended to offer an idea where the company and player meet halfway: optional subscription plans. They can be divided into gold, platinum, and diamond. A player with no subscription can use the trading post three times per day.

A gold membership could be $10 per month with these benefits:

-You’re given a certain amount of gold per day for logging in (not a fixed amount of gold but scales with gem/gold conversion prices to ensure an amount that will always maintain some value even in the face of inflation)

-Ranked PvP privileges

-Daily scratch for winning exclusive skins

-Can use tradeing post 10 times per day.

-Reduced waypoint and vendor cost by 25%

-Access to WvW for 15 times per month. To avoid abuse you’d get kicked from WvW after three hours to ensure each time you log in doesn’t count as just WvW’ing just once.

A platinum membership has all of the above but is $15 per month and even more gold per day.

-May WvW 25 times per month.

The diamond membership would be $25 per month and:

-In addition to the normal scratch will have an exclusive diamond scratch where you have better odds of winning rare stuff and diamond scratch only skins.

-Access to a farming area with unlimited respawns. For example in a Wintersday room could be an unlimited spawning supply of gingerbread men who drop presents. But the catch is such a room is only open for two hours per day.

-Unlimited tradepost postings.

-Reduced waypoint and vendor cost by 50%.

-Unlimited raiding runs.

-May enter WvW anytime they want.

I Did Not Quit WvW

It’s up to developers to encourage this pvp. Too few people spread too thin will only result in everyone failing to find the pvp. EBG has constant pvp because it’s more populated. Why? People are lazy and don’t want to try the new map, sure. But why is it the player’s responsibility to try something new and different when more likely than not it’s going to be empty.

If the devs take out EBG for a week, people will be forced onto the other maps. They will learn the maps. They will find fights on the maps. It will be more fun. Most of the people I hear complaining about the new map say “I don’t like the new map, there are never any maps.” That’s got nothing to do with the map. That’s a lack of people to fight. It’s being dumped on the map because that’s an easy out. In reality, it’s the lack of people on the map that is the issue and if Anet really wants us to get on board with the new map, they need to find a way of forcing us to go there. Otherwise any guild that says “where should we go tonight” will immediately queue for EBG. It’s simply easier.

I assure you that the new map is just not fun. Shutting down EBG would be a horrible mistake that would invoke an extraordinary amount of rage.

How can you know? Have you played the new map when there are more than 10 people on it? Everyone’s hiding in EBG because they don’t want to try an empty map. I’m not saying take EBG away forever. Just try a week without it. People will go to the other maps and play around a little. Maybe they’ll have fun. Maybe they won’t. The point is that we’d actually know rather than have people saying “I hate the new map. It’s no fun. I don’t know what’s happening and there’s nobody to fight.”

They take out EBG and no one will log into WvW other then to grab dailies that would be the finial steak in the heart of WvW..you cant force people to play a map they do not enjoy on any level..before you go at me for “not giving it a chance” I was one of the 1st ones on those dam maps the night it opened and I stayed there for a good two weeks end of the day just dident like that much pve in my pvp….but yeah take away EBG and I think I would just remove gw2 from my pc all together as there would just be no point and I woulden’t think im alone on that..

People are going to play as they want to if they wanna zerg they are going to if they wanna roam (my fav) they are going to sadly seams no one wantes to defend my guild use to do this in the old maps we would camp a tower or keep for hours until it was upgraded they were promising more rewards for doing that with this new expansion we were genuinely excited for that BUT..it never came and on top of it we lost the right to even claim anything we took in WvW because we are a very small guild and cant afford a guild hall at the moment..

That said IMO the mess isent totally the players fault cause Anet needs to give us something decent to work with to start off.. the new maps do fall very short of that how ever there were issues before them as well..so maybe its a 30/70 as to the over all problems in WvW…like I said if Anet had actually just addressed the real festering issues rather then do a flashy glam make over we would all be alot happier at the moment…

The old ones were fine hell reskin them if they really felt the need to update it the real prob was all the exploit spots needed to be fixed the but the maps were fine! it was just that Anet needed to go in and do some repairs and stop some of the cheats other then that the map itself wasn’t bad but as they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions..instead of them just fixing it they gave us a a over sized pve map..

I like the new BL! Post if you do too!

Keep it positive and Anet might reply

Is this what its come down to we have to pretend we are happy in hopes of maybe getting even a response? the new maps are crap I wont sugar coat it sorry Anet dont give a rats rear end tho cause they got what matters to them anymore our cash I loved GW2 spent hours a day in WvW now if I log in 2 times a week its alot HOT is a bomb its just a shame it had to kill WvW as well…

Ill do you one better had a guild mate actually pulled thu a fully reinforced wall tonight and killed they were hitting us all thu the same gate and walls not aoe wide rage hits like they were targeting us and hitting! just more BS cheats…

It isn’t cheaters, it is bugs in games not being fixed fast enough. Pretty much every class can hit los. Revenant is the worst since his hammer 2 just keep on travel inside and up another wall or in to the air. Don’t acuse people of cheating, adress the issue to anet who need to start bugfix in wvw.

Maybe you missed the part were I said my guild mate got pulled thu a wall? ill stop accusing when people stop the dam hacks…its pretty clear to tell a cheat from a genuine issue…besides once you know its a bug exploiting it over and over like was happening last night becomes a cheat!

maybe you missed the part of what this thread was about. make sense, stop with the qq.

i started a thread about this 19 days ago today, and still nothing.

Pretty sure I hit on the point and a few nerves dun care to bad so sad when some have to resort to cheats and exploits to win it hurts everyone…

Making excuses for Anets really not going to get the ball rolling people..lol of course I realize the fourom mods are not the “be all end all” of getting stuff done heck I feel for them it must be frustrating as hell being a 9-5 Anet worker and having to read all the complaints and kittening but! that dosent excuse the fact that at some point the Anet higher ups are being made aware that a good amount of the players are not happy yet they just sit there in silence HOT is a slap in the older players faces wvw is a disaster its a sad and frustrating situation all around..

Honestly, as long as feed back is given in a helpful and constructive manner and devoid of passive/aggressive sniping and quitting threats (lol) I’m sure it will be looked at. What the Wvw community has always failed to realize is that the bigger the temper tantrum the more you are ignored. Child Psych101.

You keep thinking that…lol the reason people are so frustrated in the 1st place is because they have been trying to talk to Anet “constructively” for years it seams and it always falls on deaf ears..

Yes. They have already addressed some issues (they nerfed gathering synth nodes in wvw, added veterans, fixed ruins daily, reduced laser damage).

Thing is none of this matters until they address the core issues and /or respond to the players directly Anet is losing players left and right and seams they really dont give a dam they only respond to the “positive threads” way to stick your heads in the sand Anet…

I dont think it would really matter and like some one else said all it would take was one misfire to set things off not to mention with all the cheating going on EB at the moment its more cutthroat then ever.

I doubt at this point we can all sing coumbiya for 2 hours…lol its ok tho Anets got it figured out I actually saw a add for GW2 on Youtube of all places the other day I guess they are planning on losing all their old players anyways…

It killed roaming basically we have two choices now as a small guild go into EB and get blobbed or go into our bl and ether wait for ever to see anyone or get ganked by a havoc group of totally OPed HOT players why> well cause Anet apparently hates small guilds these days or anyone who hasn’t shelled out more cash just to play the basic game they already bought bought years ago…RIP wvw…

Yes they have if they gave a lic about WVW they would stop trying to turn it into PVE…the old maps were fine heck they could have simply tweaked them a little and actually started to take care of the known exploits and cheats. I think its fairly universal that the new maps suck..yet I bet we are stuck with them well the ones who stay I find my time in gw2 has dwindled these days as I pretty much only played wvw. We were waiting for HOT to launch to buy it but even my partner says hes not getting it until they start listening to the players and stop screwing everyone over. If they dont we just will stop playing all together this great expansion was nothing more then a money grab. I mean really hiding stuff that was perviousely available to every one behind HOT so we have to buy it just to have that stuff back just isent cewl Anet or maybe I should say blizzard..Worst thing is they know they screwed as all for greed question is will they fix it before or after everyone leaves..

2 years and now I'm sad.

WvW is dead least feels like it you cant rome anymore even in a small group me and two other guild members were trying to play earlier but between the mega blobs of EB..or the bought and payed for OP builds running in packs in the Bls its almost pointless..unless you have HOT Anet just dosent care matter of fact seams they are going out of their way to screw the older players who dont have it and the smaller guilds guilds who actually want to have a guild hall or god forbid claim anything we fought to win in wvw..we all love GW but its getting old real quick I want to play wvw not PVE anet…all you had to do was fix some exploits and take care of some cheats and the old wvw would have been fine but instead you brought out this shiny new one trick pony that not many of the older players even like..but I guess it just dosent matter long as you get new players in…thank you for ruing the game for greed Anet…

Did someone just accuse SoS of massive overkill blobs? lol…you know we throw parties if we manage to get more then like 25 on tag because it like NEVER happens. Our ’massive overkill blobs" are typically 20-25 most days. Unless you mean the servers we are fighting with their blobs…then yeah they have some ridiculous bobs.

Unless you mean our OCX…..but we’ve never denied our OCX is our strongest time zone.

O.0.. so 40 to 60 running all together to kill maybe 4 people is not a over kill blob? that’s about normal these days for them heck even herd some say they are sick of it themselves and are leaving cause they cant get any decent fights in…again if that’s what floats some boats I guess its great..Safety in numbers I guess LOL…
