Nothing to play for

every descent PvP player knows it isnt about reward but about improving the challenge, not to mention there hasnt been any new game mode from the moment it released, even a fun mode like capture the flag would be more then welcome but there is NOTHING, no lets just keep going with conquest….GW2 has so much potential but nothing is done with it, its really a god kitten shame…..

Are Those All The Balance Changes?

in PvP

Posted by: Darkdanjal.3401

Darkdanjal.3401

tbh another reply from the devs to take some more time,…I uninstalled the game, Im waiting for a new game mode, balance fixes….

TDM has been announced but still…I want ARENAS, with a full leaderboard, rankings, 2v2 and 3vs3 nothing more,…watch bloodline champions, and take a good look how they did arena, IM sure it can be implemented, adding maps with nothing isnt going to cut it….

balancing stuff just takes to long, and that is what a lot of players dont like I think, if you make a patch every 3-4 months then you are just to slow….

Living word and PVE in general has more attention which I understand but the Pvp players dont have anything to look forward too, as seen in the trailers, PvP Always comes second>>> to bad

How long are we supposed to wait?

Hey sensotix I havent been playing GW2 for 1-2 months now in the hope that something would happen, the only thing I did was exploring the new WvW map but I soon realized its just a fancy map with nothing really new, a few days ago I finally uninstalled the game and I couldnt agree more with what you said.

Its to bad but its just the way it is, I remember introducing some new game modes last year, we are March for god sake and it doesnt look like anytime soon there will be change, there is just no incentive to play.

I remember talking to you sensotix a couple of months ago and from the look of your topic you finally reached that state of “almost” giving up on the game.

Nothing new and no punishment when cheating

skyhammer removal or skyhammer change should be top priority. Sadly, it is not.

keeping it in hotjoin I dont have a problem with but why they keep it in solo queue while its not in team queue is beyond me :P

Ive been playing GW2 since beta, not only Pve but after 6 months I started playing PvP. While conquest is fun still in team queue, so many things are a joke, GW2 is casual at it best. let me explain this.

First of all:

there is nothing, I mean nothing to play for except for a finisher that a lot of people abused with skyhammer——> no penalty for it….respons from Anet ok lets give all the people who played and abused skyhammer gold with winterdays gift…yay….

secondly balance:

while you are actually making good changes at this moment after more then a year…you still dont listen to good players…you just implement stuff and tbh not testing out your own changes to the fullest extend…response from Anet lets wait another month or even 2 to see how balancing is going…gg…

third: new game modes:

I havent seen any MMO so far who has a descent PvP game going so far to NOT implement another game mode in more then a year and a half: again incentive to play.
like come on, Arenanet, no nothing…yeah lets show people what we are working on…response from Anet: we are working on new game modes and next year we will have another one…

to close up this is what I want and Im sure a lot of players would like this:
1) have rewards and ladders and let people show off there gear and rank on each season
2) for the love of god make a new game mode fast: like in Arena, I enjoyed the 2v2 tournies way more then any conquest
3) balance while you took a good step in the previous balance update you just all went silent again and doing nothing about it, not to mention the gate cheat on legacy, how long is this going to take again another 4 months…not to mention instant damage that cannot be avoided, not to mention CLEAR casts of certain spells…..
4) solo queue: how long is this going to take to not have 4 vs 5 to have the most rediculous team setups and to have skyhammer in there which is the worst map ever for solo queue
5) actually have penalties for leavers in ysolo queue ……………………………………………….

there are so many things that need a fix and other MMOs are lurking behind the corner…its to bad but I feel like the better you get in PvP the more you see that its completely broken…..

2 questions:

1) any use of salvaging all our items that we still get from the chests, are arcane powders, slivers, orbs still usefull in the upcoming patches
2) so these ladders are months away, not really worried about that but im wondering would you implement ladders also for like a new game type like arenas and will they be seperated from the current conquest mode?

Thanks in advance

Listening to nobody actually (title change)

Darkdanjal.3401

Its not about just listening to everyone both casuals and hardcore its bout listening to the right players when it comes to balance and more casual suggestions.

You cant balance a game when you want to do both a favour for casuals and hardcore players and if you want to add balance for PVE, PVP and WVW at the same times its just not possible to do that. Its hard enough as it is and I respect that.

But I feel like the devs arent listening to the top players as each balance change is just completely off the point, some examples: s/d thief instead of nerfing the endless evade they just take a boon off and give the IMMO stacking like what…???? This is just one of the examples and before I get a flame rage from the casual players I want to clerify myself once again.

Casual players should have an input, it wouldnt be ok that Anet devs arent listening to everyone but for balance they should listen to the top players (in my opinion)…this is off course for the devs to decide to know which direction they want to go…they want to make it more casual or more hardcore, either take one of those and not both because again its not possible to do both.

you have to consider the fact that even if you think you are getting worse, you are getting better, the higher you get the more you need to use your skills at exacly the right moment…give or take some balance issues….

The fact alone you are making this topic proves that at some time you will outplay a lot of classes later on… you are just taking the first steps to instead of spamming skills to use them at the right time…I can only say keep practising….

Always the same buggy PvP gameplay

in PvP

Posted by: Darkdanjal.3401

Darkdanjal.3401

Example of all the bugs in solo queue:

1) Weapon switch at start of the game: even when you die you still cant switch
2) Terrible and I do mean terrible team composition
3) 4vs5 and 3vs5: I think I had about 30 of those in 140 solo queues
4) Lag is there for a lot of people, not only on patch day, terrible in a fast paced game like GW2

….

I think Anet after one year you should really start to look at improving these points, tbh you owe the dedicated players a bit more effort then this

In all honesty, I think every player needs to think on there feet, team compositions can be so different these days that its hard to tell, but to give you poor examples:

Never stay on one point when you are doing solo queue like in hotjoin and its a sure cap:
Never stay to long in a teamfight when as a roamer can quicly cap another
Always stay on point when fighting.
Watch your minimap during the entire game and watch where every one of your team is

his last vid was the best so far, I strongly advice any player on every skill level to see his friend necromancer playing while sensotix has edited and putted some scenes in slow motion, this is the best feedback you can get on any class while you are playing, it exacly explains in the POV of the character what he is doing.

As a reminder it takes sensotix 3-4 hours + to make this vid and this is not only feedback for the players but also for the devs .

TO EVERYONE POSTING ABOUT TOP PLAYERS REFUSING TO SPEAK WITH THE DEVS.

http://sv.twitch.tv/guildwars2pvptv/b/472714296

1:43:05

Keep in mind, Helseth is perma banned on the fo rums (he explains why at 01:52:15).

So, how exactly is he supposed to contact the developers? If the developers arent trying to reach him and he is banned on the forums, what other methods does he have than his own stream?

Helseth is not the only player who says things like this, if you go through his broadcasts on his channel you’ll find other players such as Xeph and Denshee saying the same things about these topics.

You’d think that the players wouldnt be this disgruntled if the developers tried to actively communicate with them and listened to what they said.

All in all, it seems like a very cheap move from Allie. She claims that she tries to talk to the top players yet they simply refuse to respond, shifting the blame on the players (as we can see here from the comments) when the players in topic are players that either left the game or are banned on the forums.

IM giving a HUGE plus on this comment because I can confirm what Simonmester is saying. I was on that stream also from Helseth and Xeph and denshee were there. As a reminder Xeph has left the game for months yet he still talked a bit about balance.

Ashzene, part of TP team is Always open for a talk, I have whispered him a couple of times and when he has time he Always answeres a question or anything for that matter, all these players have talked to the devs before: helseth, denshee, ashzene, those are the names that are coming to my mind and Im sorry Im forgetting someone….

@Hooma: you keep on saying that every person out here is either arrogant to the devs or an rude person yet you have absolutely no clue have much effort these guys did before. They have talked to the devs, they have given time to the devs and yet they are claiming that all these players dont want to talk anymore, so they put effort in other resources like streams or youtube channels, yet you are claiming dont want to talk….
you should wake up for a change…you said it yourself you never even watched a post from helseth for example, and yeah he might be ranting a lot but instead of following the devs you should begin by following some of these players there stream, Helseth might be ranting but he does a great job in explaining what he does while he is playing solo queue

Also to close up sensotix interviewed top players, one of them was ashzene, even ashzene is saying in that vid that helseth did a great job in his rants what was wrong atm in the meta.

These players know what they are saying yet you are the one ranting that those players dont want to listen and dont want to talk, they did….and on more then one of an occasion. they wouldnt take the effort to talk about GW2 if they didnt care but even those players have their limits you know…

Darkdanjal.3401

I was checking out this trait line and I noticed the traitline is saying it Recharge Reduced on greatsword skills. I went over all of them but it should be 20 procent.

I was wondering why it only applies on mind stab and illusionary wave, not on berserker and Mirror blade, any reason for this or is it just wrong in the recharge icon in the spell description?

Or does is only apply on direct damage and not on phantasms, if so the description should be changed

Edit tested it it does reduce it but not in the spell description

Well Anet, in the middle of our first match in team queue we got lag and 2-3 people DC from both our team and enemy team, after that we tried another one, again same team with DC on both teams….

Can you explained what happened there, most have happened 15 minutes ago now, awesome, not only we need to adjust to your awesome balance knowledge, no we need to adjust to who is the fastest reconnecting to the game, gg, briljant in a competitive area….

Leavers and sPvP

Posted by: Darkdanjal.3401

Darkdanjal.3401

I think there should be a punishment but I had players today who Disconnected and reappear and apoligized, I have no problem with that, it happens, I had one today after 100+ solo queues for the first time that I disconnected, I had such rage over it, those are the players that needs punishment also. That guy was being a kittenbag in my opinion

I understand you want to win but come on, raging.

Anyway not sure but this is also a point thats needs a lot of attention. one point for leavers and another for disconnect, as I heard devs were already working on it but its been also months that they came up with a solution. REset button, requeue the 4 players and add another in queue with the 4 that are left, anything would be very much appreciated

they invite them to chat.. i see no need to publish that. if top players really care about the game why they dont take the invite?

because like sensotix is saying, he gave feedback, he does so much effort but it doesnt matter

top players are tired of it and that is understandable its been a year you know ….

Im not insulting you, Im sick of this going back and forward on the forums, helseth wouldnt rant on the forums if you talked to him, I cannot believe you talked to sensotix, ashzene top guardian isnt even playing PvP…why is that???? there most be a reason right? you are saying they arent giving you feedback…they dont because each and every time you make a patch you think the meta needs to adjust, im not a top player but even I see whats happening, talk to them before and after a patch instead of taking so much time…

another thing you are saying some thing cant be implemented because of the pillars of your game, then say what is possible and what is not…

u are insulting.. esp with reading what others said. allie said they invite the top player to ventrilo chats every week and some top player talk to devs. the most not.

maybe thinked about that helseth is a rude person? if u cant be friendly the message doesnt care.

i think if the top players would more chat with the devs and stop publishing attention seeking rants it would help the game.. but if allie says they dont respond and take the invite.. what should the devs do more?

I admit helseth is ranting a lot but he is right about a lot of things, if he is saying something I dont take it for granted in an instant, I test it out myself and you know what he is right every single time…..

this topic that sensostix is making is right on the spot but so many people are arguing for no reason at all, sensotix is a really good mesmer, not only that he knows every single class way better then anyone I believe, what he is doing on his channel is exacly what the devs should be doing, instead of sensotix interviewing top players, it should be the devs interviewing them and on a regular basis

And IF that is happening they should post it on the forum…that would be a constructive feedback for a change

I’m sorry if it has already been asked but has there been any discussion/any plan to create a public test server that is solely used to look at PvP balance changes?

A PTR is something that the PvP and WvW teams (especially) would definitely greatly benefit from. It is something that we have had many discussions about. The reality is that creating a PTR (code-wise) is an incredibly difficult task for our game. That’s not to say we have dismissed the idea, though.

Thanks for the feedback!

why cant you just take time to duel against the top players and see what is wrong, take time to listen to them on a custom arena, duel them and see what is wrong, they will probably teach you more then you understand of your own game, they are the ones that are playing your game 24/7 and trying out every single build or team combo, you devs dont do that because you dont have the time

The patch has been out for 2 days. There were so many changes that we really need to let things settle and let people find their way. Big balance changes like this shake things up a lot, and nobody can know how the community will adapt to the change until they adapt to the change, which usually takes longer than a couple days.

Maybe this is a bad place to post a suggestion, as I am not an experienced tournament player. ^^

I think it would be rather awesome if the top teams could test balance changes. A custom arena maybe, where those teams could play matches against one another, before the changes went live.

That way, feedback from experienced players could be handed directly to the developers. Balance would be tested by experienced players, and the rest of us would still have the option to voice our opinions afterwards to cower anything not discovered through testing.

I am sure I am not the first to think of this

i agree 100% !

If you reference my first post, you will see that I have a bit in there:

“All of this doesn’t matter though, if the 4%-10% spends little to no time giving us feedback for one reason or another (inactive, don’t care, think we don’t listen even if that’s wrong, etc.).”

Most of the 10% has direct access to the developers already. Some take advantage of it, most do not. We can’t control whether or not they give us feedback, but we definitely give them ample opportunity to do so.

you are listening but to the wrong players and its no surprise little to no top players arent you giving you feedback, you are just mindlessly making changes without even making an effort to talking to long term players before and after a patch.

And btw you can control if they are giving feedback by making an effort, by inviting them to Skype talks about balancing, you devs are making more and more excuses on how making time to make changes and Im sick of it tbh, talk to you players, COMMUNICATE, you arent doing that, YOU ARE THE DEVS we are not, you are the makers but for some reason you still think you are the masters of you own game in PVP, you arent playing countless of solo games or team games you are just observing, you need to TALK to your players and not just on the forums

why i get no love? i was fighting for all the players and was the one who got bashed. i didnt see any +1

:)

I give you a +1 hooma because I agree with everything you have said fwiw. This thread is not constructive or useful at all – it’s just “devs should listen to the people that meet my definition of the top 10% and nobody else” which is, as you have clearly articulated, a bad argument. Glad to see posts from Allie that show they listen and evaluate all suggestions. Even though there are clearly a lot of bad ones, they can get still get people thinking out of the box which is never a bad thing.

you are wrong, devs are listening but not in the right way they dont make a separation between casual en long term players aka balance and casual suggestions, just look at the state of PvP as it is….

They are not doing any effort to talk to top players on a regular basis to talk about balance, and they are not making enough effort to communicate with casual players about other topics.

Just look at sensotix his youtube page on how much effort he puts into this game, its by far more then anything the devs ever did, same with helseth who did his rants, the info there is WAY more constructive then anything from the devs…

Ohh, you’re another one of those lucky forum posters who get to go to ANet design/devleopment meetings since you clearly know exactly what they think, do, and discuss. There are a lot of you guys on the forums… how do I get in on that??

Im not saying how they think, Im talking about listening to both long term players and casual players in a SEPERATE way and to COMMUNICATE more on a regular basis with both groups

This is in my opinion the whole point of sensotix his topic

Well its not that I want casual players to not be part of it but I mean in understanding the game and making suggestions to balance, long term players have just a better input then casual players.

I mean there can be a talk about balance and afterwords a talk about suggestions on rewards, other modes, there just needs to be a separation on balance and more casual suggestions, that would help a lot.

Its like sensotix interviewing top players like ashzene or any other top player, it should be the same for devs talking to them = COMMUNICATION
And for casual players devs should make a livestream, there is a topic out now what do you guys want most, and everyone is saying there top 3 things, I think that topic is ok but it would be good afterwards to make a livestream about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can’t spot any issues that where solved, addressed or even looked at for this patch. “Big balance” turned out to be a big mess, I’m tired of waiting so long so simple fixes for example, I’ve waited over a year for some Ranger’s pets F2 Skill to be fixed. Waited over a year for Rangers to be given back their skill and range, the class is almost an empty shell.
Also it isn’t just Rangers, plenty of the classes need a REAL balance.

Its more like some classes cant just compete with others on a competitive play, as in your case a friend of mine is playing ranger and all he does most of the time is just autoattacking my shatter mesmer, its not that I cant defeat him but the amount of effort that I have to put in is just to much, same with s/d thiefs and now venom share thiefs, they are beatable but in team play Im just completely outplayed by some of them, you can say then to me why dont you play support, well some classes are just better suited for it, why dont you play bunker, again some classes way better then that…..

anyway you can talk about balance forever, I already said what I think should be done about it on other responses

Game on and have fun :P

Yeah I agree with the above responses, it seems like the devs arent aware of the fact that for example Sensotix, helseth have been playing the game its PvP since the start of beta, that makes them have more understanding of the game then any of the devs.

The devs dont have the time to play the game that much, the fact is that players are coming up with all sorts of different builds and strategies, not the devs and by doing so there knowledge of what counters what is far greater.

Im actually thinking that instead of after a patch, that before or during the livestream TOP players (whats left of them) should already be allowed to have some input so the devs can adjust to it, not saying that after a patch there shouldn be a talk about balance changes.

The point is there needs to be far more communication then just forums.

hasty confused, sorry in all respect some of them even predicted what would happen before the patch released, and guess what they were spot on, stop defending the devs please….

and it doesnt mean because I like certain players Im narcistic you know, there is a reason I like there streams and channels, over the last months I learned more about the game then I learned months ago.

Have you ever seen devs playing 100 of soloqueus or teamqueues, they dont have a clue or feel what competitive gaming is, they are mindless watching tournies, PAX or whatever and they are thinking hey this is balanced while top teams, players are even playing different classes because theres is broken in the current meta, WAKE up….

Im following 3 mesmers atm, sensotix, subcutie and helseth and tbh the devs arent listening at all, those 3 all know each class to an extend that goes beyond the devs understanding of the game.

Still the devs are mindlessly making excuses that balancing takes time, like what 3 months for a patch…

Personally I like helseth his playstyle and his skill the most. On his stream when he is solo queing he is actually saying what he counters, why he is casting that skill, this is what I miss from the other 2 mesmers, in all honestly havent seen sensotix streaming dow but subcuty is silent most of the time…

Anyway to the OP would love to see you stream, I love your builds and interviews on your channel, keep it up.

to close up, devs should make monthly talks about balancing PvP with top players,…the problem I have is that PvP updates are so slow and that they keep on saying that the current meta needs to be tested out first….top players are almost instantly saying after the patch HELLO DEVS wake up, dont you think we tested it already, I would suggest after a week a new patch releases talk to the top players and make preparations already for another patch.

in my opinion balancing is about balancing for good teams good players and if you are new so be it, adjust and learn to play better then. I rather have a balanced game for skilled players then build that require spamming a couple of buttons

REWARD SYSTEM: there are still no rewards in team queue or solo queue accept for a leaderboard: make unique skins for the top 10 teams. or solo players.

ACHIEVEMENTS: to my dissapointment every 2 weeks a new living story in PVE with different achievements, in PVP there are none except long term achievements that are made by just farming glory. You can go the same way as living story, make certain goals in 2 weeks that only PvP players can get and the top 5 players, top teams who are first get an achievement for it or even some gold, unique skin….you can even make them unique for solo, teamqueue or hotjoin.

TITLES: glory farm titles mean nothing anymore as skyhammer has been abused to an extend where anyone can be bear, shark or even higher. TITLES for top teams or solo players would be awesome,.

INCENTIVE TO PLAY: some points above are already a reason to play and to work to a certain GOAL, to get better, but new game modes like ARENA or others you come up with would give players a reason to play more.

TO close this: to the devs, this patch is decent but I do not consider this as a major patch but if you can bring these patches out in a smaller amount of time then 3-4 months so more like in a month timeframe I would defnitely like it a lot more.

solo queue is just the worst system ever

Sorry but the only reason hotjoin can be fun is by roaming with a couple of friends and destroy everyone on your path aka zerg fest, we have that already in WvW, it gets very boring and Im not going to farm glory because there are NO REWARDS anyway for it. Again the word no incentive to play…

For now I only use hotjoin if I want to learn a new class all there spells and abilities or do some combos but in a custom arena its way more fun when doing 1v1 2v2 with friends.

As OP let me clarify what I mean, I think this system is just SO off, why isnt there a system that cancels a solo queue at the start of the map that sais ok you are 4 vs 5 when the countdown finishes.

Why isnt there a system that allowes a reset and lets another player join when you are 4vs5 in case another player cancels, DCs or whatever the cause…????

I said it when I started this topic, IMPLENTING STUFF is one thing, MAKING IT TO WORK is another. Its been months since solo queue was added and not a single thing was done, as in PVE ok here you go new content, oh my god a bug there, lets fix it.

Im sure of it now Anet devs are just understaffed when it comes to PvP, which is a pity….and all that bullkitten about we have to take a look and test it first is just rediculous. ITS JUST A WAY OF THEM TO MAKE TIME and DO NOTHING.

They are listening to TOP TEAMS but are not doing a THING about it. By now they havent got a single top team left because they are all bored of it and are tired about the fact that there is no incentive to play.

Even with rewards and the combat that is really fun GW2 is a just a casual PvP game and thats just pitty as it had so much potential….

Ive done a good few of solo queus, I cant even imagen how many times I was with 4 players, I got a DC from a teammate in that match,…how can this even be fair?

And please dont tell me this is because I am matched with lower level players, if there is a a 4 vs 5 then make something that cancels the whole match please.

leaderboards are a joke this way, you can be a high level player, Im not saying I am, and can be all the way down to leaderboards, what is this?

PvP diserves a little more attention, implemting stuff is something, making it to work is another thing. Deeply dissapointed in this.

Tired of so Little Variety and Builds.

^But TC won….?

Is it just me or are people just guessing when it comes to which team won. TC = TEAM CURSE = before named as team paradigm. They were not representing EU due to reasons Im not going to explain aldow they won the qualifiers against CC.

The tourney PAX was won by CAR CRASH = CC (representing EU) and they won against Sync (representing NA). The score was 3-0.

let me say this, Helseth is indeed in most of the things he said SPOT on. I played all classes en I played Mesmer, Ele, Thief a good amount of time, I havent played the other classes as much but I can feel how I go up against the other classes.

I said in another topic, I keep playing PvP because the combar is fun but at the same time it can be frustrating to die in a split second because of stun locks, evades all the time and a massive blob of AOE where you dont even know what happened.

How are we as players suppose to respond to a 1-2 seconds dead, even with mind boggling skills more then half of your hp can be down in seconds

I would suggest: reduce the damage overall in GW2, sure a thief can still spike, sure a warrior can still be deadly in burst, mesmer can still shatter for high damage and so on but reducing all of those in general for all classes while maintaining there actual function would be a good start

Some well accomplished achievements I have to say, proves you put really some hard effort in the game however you deeply dissapoint me and many other PvPers in this whole year.

I heard so much about GW1 PvP well GW2 doesnt live up at my expectations at all, the only reason why I keep playing PvP is because the combat is fun. Maybe this year you should actually focus on the PvPers more.

Every update you come up with some new PVE content which actually lines out almost the entire update page and some new skins with an UNinteresting story, I try to actively participate in PVE but after an hour I return to PvP because PvE doesnt pull you into the story so far and its just plain out boring.
Then comes een small patch for PvP, its clearly you are understaffed for PvP or you should admit that you want this to be a PvE game.

It is might boggling how you even say some classes are good as they are, LIKE WOOOT, and please dont tell me you need constructive feedback as there are more then enough top players who know what they are saying. See forums

Its good that you are talking to the PvPplayer base, its something else to listen.

Sorry to say this Anet developpers but this is just kittened,

Who in there right minds decided to leave the point tekst on the minimap like clocktower, mansion or whatever…either you make it A B C like skyhammer or this is the worst change ever.

I know about changes you implement but come on. If a teammate in my team said come to mansion my eye immediatly went to the minimap and the tekst marker on the map.

Not only didnt you change any class balance in this patch you even made it worse, what are you all doing there and what are you thinking??? you think we will adapt…honestly get some true devellopers and do something right for a change, listen to the top PvP players

Kind regards
