Thanks for tip Guys!
So, im doing my PvP Grind.
So far ive found just one map labeled “farm”, and it is aways empty. Ive found a guild farm map, bu got kicked soon ive entered it :P
Then im doing normal PvP matches trying to get my armor. Ive gained the “Gladiator” title, coming to “Mercenary” and maybe im going to “Champion Slayer” title before get the armor, with are very cool things.
But playing the PvP has been Painfull!
Im sorry to say that. Im loving GW2, its the only game that im playing, please dont be ofended, but the PvP…
I wil talk my opinion about it, it has gained a bit of maturation.
As ive stated before ive played a lot of PvP on other games, like SWTOR and many FPS. I like PvP, but i think ive got what im not liking here.
The matches are about 5×5 in arenas, and capturing and holding points are the most important for the win. I think a big problem here starts at team size and logs/logouts.
A team of 5 (or even less on custom arenas) its too small for uncoordinate gameplay (most of the battles are with “pugs” or equivalent), so its ease to get overwhelmed by 2, 3 or even 4 members of the other team that jus wipe you out. When you have big teams, like 8×8 or 10×10 its easer to compensate this or that weak player, and keep the fight on, but on small teams a weak player makes ppl angry (oh, and ive seen a lot of toxic chat, but this is part of PvP and Hard Dungeons gameplay…) and some even rage quit.
Another big problem are the team lougouts and leaves. Since many players sign in for Rated Arenas, soon the arena its on they leave the Custom one that he is participating and this keeps the team balance a big mess.
And there is one of the biggest problems that im seeing. Please old players correct me if im wrong, but are the “ÜBER BUILDS”.
PvP balance its a hard thing, i know. And as a PvE gamer i get very irritaded by many balance changes for PvP that ends up messing our PvE builds. But im seeing a lot of cookie cutter builds on PvP. Like Rangers really really powerfuls, and some players staking over 19 stacs of might (warriors, mostly, and guardians a little too). I know many players criticize it, and most of the complaints are “Learn to Play” issues, with i inclued myself here, since in 2 days of PvP i have no pretention of ask for changes or say that im losing here or there because of the game bad design. But still sometimes i really think how this or that player its too strong, and most of the time i see myself running FROM enemy players, instead of running TO fight them. And this is sad.
I think the problem with these power builds its a colateral effect of the diversity of the game. One of the points that i love on this game its the diversity. You can see enginners using flamethrowers or shields and pistols, or Warriors using Glass cannons rifles or Big regeneration builds with swords. On other games, like swtor, there are much much fewer options to play, and this is a big draw back when you search for cool and fun builds, but gets easer for DEVs team balance the game.
well, i didint give up. im pretty sure that ill get my torso armor soon. I just hope that i dont get tired and Burned Out before that.
