boring….same threads over and over again – you should stop complaining and accept the current state of pvp. It will NOT change, and it WILL stay like it is now. (kitten)
Take a look at the last 200 threads in the forums, and you can answer the question by yourself.
Anyway – answer is ‘no’. There are other thousands of factors, which prevents GW2 beeing even near esports. GW2 beeing to complicated (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?) is surely not a factor.
I’ve been playing thief since the release of GW2, and I still do. As I mostly play solo last time, I’m now looking for a team, with which I can compete in the current PvP scene.
I’m able to play all thief builds on a high level, and still, I’m willing to learn more in every aspect and I can deal with criticism as well.
I don’t care about LB or ranks, but I’m looking for team, which is highly experienced in PvP and brings along the needed communication and skills.
I speak: English & German
For more details please contact me ingame or via PM in the forums.
After almost 4 months, you guys start complaining about the OPness of thieves? Pistolwhip has to be reworked, sure (though, NOBODY has been complaining about it for a very long time) – and now, let’s nerf several utilities.
But make it riskier by nerfing steal, infil signet, infil strike, withdraw and lyssa runes.
Add an overlapping cast time on steal so that it has an animation but you can still do all the current combos. Steal needs a tell, as it’s a very important skill that you should be able to see coming consistenlty. Put a cast time to infil signet but keep it as stun breaker coz it’s ridiculously overpowered : positionning yourself as any glasscanon doesn’t matter coz the thief will instantly port to you from 10 miles away to train you down. Make infil strike work with line of sight requirement to land the immob and damage, like steal. Make every single thief skill used at least twice in a row cost 1 more initiative everytime. Do it.
As you have deleted the last ‘rewards’ in PvP, I kindly ask you to give a proper feedback to the community how you gonna proceed with the entire reward system and when your clients can expect it? Maybe I missed something, but there is no official statement about it. There is actually no reason for playing the game (PvP) at the current state. Can’t you see this issue Arena Net?
I still have faith in them. This is the same team that is currently running gw1.
The guys from gw1, who actually knew what to do, are not working in GW2’ team. How can ppl still believe in this guys? Their knowledge of pvp is awful – they confirmed this fact since the release of GW2. It’s really sad to know, that the dev’s destroyed the competitive and really good pvp system of GW1 completely.
If you enjoy people displaying their ignorance and inarticulacy in a way that infringes and angers others, fine, just remember that some people are here to play GuildWars2, not be the victim of criminal activity.
If you’re just here to play GW2, turn off chat and knock yourself out.
If you want to interact with others at the same time, learn how to deal with the internet.
Don’t pvp, if you can’t handle that little bit of watered-down trash talk.
If you wanna hold hands and sing happy hippo songs, there’s always Hello Kitty Online to indulge all your needs and wonts.
It’s not about interacting with others – map chat is mostly used for flaming and talking kitten, while considering yourself as a pro – and that’s like 80% of the community. These ppl are worse then any PvE players joining tournaments.
This forums become more and more a kindergarten and a place for ridiculous statements. And srsly, who cares about leaderboards – do ppl really still try to identify their ‘skill’ or knowledge with rankings?
The next balance patch will be released in about…let me guess…2 months? And people are already discussing for kitten? You should know Anet by now – any assumptions and discussion of patch contents are wasted time. The PvP part of GW2 is not designated for competitive players and will never be. So don’t expect any competitive oriented patch contents. And it’s not even the fault of Anet, ‘cause they just don’t have the knowledge to create such a competitive game which you are all (STILL) expecting.
Sorry for beeing offtopic – but this just makes me shake my head…
TPvP has never been alive…and will never be. Speaking for competitiveness – it’s still a enjoyable (PvP) game for casuals with some good game mechanics though, but not more than this.
first, I like the idea of Sensotix. But I’m sorry to say this, it’s just worthless, since Anet DO NOT listen to the community. I appreciate really, that you guys still care about PvP. But did you miss the last 8 months? Any really big improvements? Just take this this patch as an example…It’s just far to late to make this game viable.
Anyway, if you think Anet can do better, with such suggestions/videos, go on – but don’t be frustrated afterwards.
Every effort to making this game better is a waste of time imo.
I don’t want to be offended to you, PVP team, but what about completely giving up PvP in GW2 and disbanding the pvp departement? You could help out the PvE guys. They might need some help probably….I mean it doesn’t make any sense to invest more time in “developing” PVP. It is like it is right now and considering the last patches it will just getting worse – and people will rage again @you..and again. Good players have left anyway, and for those who stick to hotjoin and doing daylies … the current state of PvP is good enough…
Good Pvp patch? In which world are you living? 3 Months and all they do is making it even worse. You don’t know your game at all – I mean, what do you think about GW2’ PVP anet? You really think its good? Just take a look at perma immo? You are not thinking, are you Anet?
Suggestion to ppl who are still trying to help Anet to improve things in PVP: Stop it, it’s a waste of time and they give a kitten about the comm’ opinion.
I understand people who are angry about skyhammer farming. But on the other side – why do you care so much about it? I mean we all spend a lot of time for this game. But now it’s really time to consider that GW2 is lost for competitive players. What did PvP players got until now? Like nothing? So why still complaining? See it as a “fun game” and go farm skyhammer yourself, and prove Anet how much they have failed until now.
My last hope for PvP in this game is lost – so let’s go for skyhammer, and exploit this broken PvP system.
Now – after months, can you please give your community a feedback, how you will fix this totally broken PvP System?
Tournaments are crowded with Skyhammer farmers (rank 50+ playing terrible), 4v5 Situations, Warriors thinking they are good, just because they are playing a redicilous simple and OP build.
My advice, Anet: Disable PvP from GW2, and bring it back after it’s fixed. In the meanwhile, hire some new devs.

Apart from this littlefeather guy is right or wrong. Never use GW2’ ranking as an argument for skill. People should stop talking about LB before it’s not fixed.
we (MEN) Gomen Nasai actually took a match off WM once. probably the pinnacle of my time in gw1. Totally only happened because they didnt take us serious enough, and we used their own cheesey tactic against them. Still, a win against that team was a win, and an epic one for us!
Never heard of (MEN). What cheesey tactic are you talking about? There was WM (War Machine, a professional korean guild, who dominated with EvIL a long time the leaderboards) → no cheesey builds at all) and there was another WM (Washing Machines, playing cheesey build, like Nec Spike). You probably mean the second one mentioned?
And if these GW1 Guilds (PnH, iQ, WM, EvIL etc.) would join GW2, they would actually steamroll others teams for sure. All respect to TP, Team Curse etc. But they are not playing on the same level and with the same intensity.
Please stop these “e-sport” things, and tournaments like this. It’s wasted money and not competitive at all. It just makes me laugh when I see GW 2 tournaments with a real prize pool. Are you really just ignoring the broken PvP? I really don’t get, why tournaments like this one, even takes place…
@Dhunis
You seem to be not that experienced. Solo Q maps are randomized, so it’s not possible to “choose maps”- This for your “don’t join the match” statement.
People like you are posting as well for balance changes / improvements, without having any clue of PvP. And since the Dev’s are listening to such people, this will make this game worse, even it’s already broken like hell.
Dont like the map? Dont play it. Problem solved. Some of us enjoy pushing people off the edges.
You shouldn’t play GW if you enjoy pushing people off the edges tbh. And it’s the minority who actually enjoys it, and this, because they are mostly not able to reach anything in “normal” PvP.
Please, don’t ask for anything. It’s just a waste of time. They can’t even fix the amazing lags and the broken Solo Q, Leaderboards, different skills….I stop here.
What I want to say is just, don’t ask for new stuff, before the current one is fixed, since it’s still broken like kitten.
It’s because of the devs – for sure. Even they have little ressources, they just use them completely wrong. They wasted a lot of time for creating skyhammer, just to give an example. Dev’s are not even playing their game, so how should they know what’s wrong in PvP? (they could know, by listening to the community, but…they just don’t) So please, don’t expect any big changes for the next patch.
GW2 will never be a PvP game (even though they said so), not to mention e-sport. Anet just made a very big mistake by implementing a new system for GW2, instead of taking over the existing one from GW1 – and they know this for sure.
What does LB actually show? Some numbers, a name and that’s it. It can’t be associated with skill at all. Is it really people care about “ranking”, ’cause their name appears on the official GW2 site? Or do I miss the point?
Anet should just remove the feature and bring it back after it’s fixed.
Nice to see, that Anet is trying to expand PvP. But….
It’s too early for such a tournament imho. The PvP part needs still so much improvements. Why hurrying now with organizing big tournaments, instead of fixing the many PvP issues? The PvP scene is still far away from being solid. Isn’t this step too big for Anet?
I don’t know why ppl are still complaining. Anyone who still plays PvP knows about it’s state. And obviously it’s bad and will probably stay like this. Either you get fit with a bad PvP game and try to enjoy the few good things or just quit like many others.
As I know, there were tons of threads like this one, when a “big patch” was announced…followed by disappointing flame threads on Anet after releasing it.
On June 26th, the first page of forums will be flowed over with “fail patch” threads…probably…though, I hope this patch will change things to good…
There are so many threads about this issue and a lot of others, and I’m sure Anet knows about it. I doubt that they will fix these issues soon – regarding what they did the last months. Unfortunately we (…you, ‘cause I already quit PvP) have to deal with it. There won’t be any big changes in PvP in the next months imo. The community shouldn’t expect a better PvP-System for now. Any hope will disappoint you probably.
Actually, there is not really a point for playing PvP. (competitive) In about 6-8 months, you may can say that PvP in GW2 is OK…there are some nice community based tournaments tho, but that’s all. I doubt that PvP will really improve this year so much, to make it viable for competitive players.
Ingame name: Destinys Thief
Main Class: Thief
Region: EU
Practice Times: I can play about 4 times a week from ~19:00 – open end
Experience: I played many tournaments with thief, and know how to play it. I’m a teamplayer and can follow strategies. (currently r43)
Other (Anything else that you would like to add):
I’d like to play on a decent level and looking for a team which analyses the played rounds in detail and get extended tactics and teamplay. I don’t play with raging people – if you are loosing, you should calm down, and then discuss why you lost and get better every single game, instead of whining and blame your team mates.
