On paper the Outnumbered buff sounds great but in practice the players on my server just reflip the home camp and port back to base. I asked them to capture our home tower but instead they all went to the other camp and waited 4 min for the invuln buff.
Canach is the best. Trahearne is/was the worst.
Then everyone would tag and it will be a mess.
Aesthetically, it is ugly af now. Gameplay wise, can’t say yet.
It’s really baffling that such popular GW1 modes such as Heroes’ Ascent, GvG, Alliance Battles and Fort Aspenwood were not included at launch or within the 1st year of the game. It’s way too late now. There are barely enough players to sustain one gamemode.
Tooltip bug. I expect they will add the unblockable text soon.
what do you mean one last season? is anet discontinuing the season mechanic after this one?
They already discontinued the season mechanic.
You can’t compare direct damage and conditions when it comes to retaliation. If I play a power build and notice that an enemy’s retaliation is causing me problems I just stop attacking until reta runs out (just as I wouldn’t fire projectiles into a reflection wall or a magnetic aura). If I play a condi build I can’t just magically take back conditions that I already applied.

Speaking of CDI, why did ANet stop doing those? The newest post in there is over 2 years old. I do wish some classes were redesigned however.
I believe the guy who was behind those, Chris Whiteside, is no longer in Anet.
That repeatable last should give ascended shards of glory every time
Awful suggestion. That would make it possible to farm like 10 full sets. PvP is not a farm fest. Go back to Auric Basin.
(how does it even happen, blows my mind, no way those teams have nowehere near similar overall MMR, it doesn’t even attempt to mix the teams).
I guess a leftover from the Season 2 system where it paired people with similar MMR on one team.
- Doorbreakers die after one successful hit. Now you can’t carry your initial supply through both gates; players now have to get supply and they’ll fight over it.
- Damage breaks channel; reduce channel times. It’s too easy to stability channel things and completely ignore players. The trebuchet removing all stability was a band-aid, and a terrible one at that. If damage breaks channels, you’re forced to win the territory first.
- Archer gate damage buffed. Archers continue on their path after casting an attack (no chasing). They’re useless now. Players can kill guards just as fast and archers barely scratch gates, even in large numbers. Archers are too easily distracted and due to “stop until target dies” mechanics, they can be distracted indefinitely.
- Mist Heroes buffed in their primary role – getting into a base and killing a lord. They suck as a comeback mechanic. The time you wasted channeling it and going back to a fight could have been better spent in the fight itself. Increase their move speed and gate damage at a minimum.
Doorbreakers dying on one hit is excessive. It will actually discourage fighting. If 2 of you are escorting doorbreakers and I come, the 2 of you can spike me/heal the breakers before I kill them. With your suggestion, I will autoattack twice and leave.
I strongly disagree with damage breaking channel. It is actually an important strategic decision to know if you have enough stability and HP to make yourself vulnerable for so many seconds with 1 or 2 people pounding on you. Also, winning the area will never happen. People will run around and hit you here and there to cancel the channel. And if you kill them, respawn is close, their teammates will come in and continue the struggle.
Archers are worse than useless, I agree here. They need to be buffed or reworked or replaced, I don’t know.
I agree with the heroes argument as well. Currently, the biggest advantage of channeling a hero is getting 30 points. Chances are he will be killed long before the lord room. I’d buff their speed by 50%.
Anet does not update festivals. I think they don’t have a team responsible for them since the majority are working on the new xpac and the LW episodes.
Nonetheless, your points are valid. As it is, Toypocalypse is extremely dull and dragged out. They should have made it like the Zos Shivros Channel mission from GW1 where each wave was much harder than the one before it.
This weekend I had a span of 4 games in gold t3 where I had pretty much the same team against pretty much the same team. Why isn’t matchmaking mixing it up a bit?
Is there any way to tell which way those things are going to shoot me? It usually sends me the opposite of where I want to go. Do I have to memorize them?
Indeed, they seemed like mobs in a low level map. Have to add that Sloth was a bad surprise too. Four of us killed it in about 30 seconds, so fast that I didn’t see any mechanics at all. The karka boss was much tougher due to the retaliation it has.
So the scepter and sword both get a symbol ie a light field which makes them highly undesirable for high level fractals. Can’t use virtues with the Virtues trait line, can’t use Stand your Ground, can’t use any skill that is a symbol. Should I just give up on using guard in fractals?
It doesn’t say so on the tooltip but when blasted it gives retaliation. I am really sad because this makes it unusable for high level fractals because of the Boon Thieves instability.
So raiders will always be the first to get the breaking news while the rest will have to read the wiki and watch youtube? How fun.
Yeah, a synopsis would be great. Reading a wall of text in my mail would give me the same satisfaction as finding out about the White Mantle from gameplay.
My issue is with end of games. 460-420 losing team has to go for it, other team follows of course so you have a bunch of people spamming dps hoping to get the kill which is pure luck.
My biggest problem with the new maps is the wait for the meta-event after all pre-events are completed. Sometimes when you get a taxi all pre-events are completed so you just have to sit and wait for 40 minutes.
You can gain so much more in other ways.
ORLY? There are even better ways to earn loot while I am at work/sleeping/watching TV? Please, do tell.
This is classic afk farming and it boggles my mind that some people are defending it. Especially with the “it’s not very profitable” argument. What if some of your colleagues at work make 5% more than you just because they keep their computer on at night? I guess that’s OK since 5% is not really that much, right?
Modes from GW1 such as Fort Aspenwood, Alliance Battles, etc
Support told me they are investigating the issue but can’t give pips back.
Was it Stronghold by any chance?
High division? You know that everyone is within 15 pips of each other right? They were only a little higher than you but you had 2 duo-queues vs full solo queuers which should even it out if not give you a sizable advantage.
I know, I know. I shouldn’t believe my experience, but I should definitely believe yours.
I am sorry but your “experience” is not enough to draw any major conclusions. Some PvP room was empty so what – PvP is empty? That’s like saying my local store is out of milk so there is shortage of milk in the world. What is your average queue time in leagues?
Check youtube and dulfy for the heropoint guides. Start with the ones that can be solo’ed – there are a few in that you just need to fly/glide to. Then find some that are close to a waypoint and advertise in mapchat or in the LFG tool that you are doing them and sooner or later you will get 2-3 people which is enough in most cases. Also you can check the LFG tool or the map chat for other people who are advertising. Took me 2 hours but I had the majority of the HoT zones and waypoints discovered beforehand.
Edit: Also do NOT do the WvW way, it is much slower.
The Canach boss fight from one of the releases, I think it was season 1.
If you mean when a teammate disconnects They do NOT count as defeat even though it says so on the pvp page. Winning streaks are preserved in such cases.
they should give the lords an overhaul (and svanir/chieftain too),
make going for lord be a team effort again.
Speaking of svanir/chieftain I am really surprised there isn’t more outcry for Forest. I mean a lot of the close matches are decided by pure luck. 460-420 you have 4-5 people spamming dps hoping the game will award them the kill. And no I am not talking about a strategic cc and steal early in the game. I am talking when the losing team realizes they have to kill npc and go for it, the other team is forced to go for it too so imo it’s just luck.
but they are purposely stacking the higher mmr/skills players on 1 team
instead of evening them outnow that, in itself is not fair
Why would it be fair for a high MMR player to be “evened out” with lesser teammates? That was actually the system in season 1 and it was wildly criticized.
I won a game in stronghold, but didn’t get any pips. Pvp reward track is buggy too.
Happened to me twice in Stronghold about a week ago. I have since unchecked Stronghold.
If a legendary could be achieved by 30 minutes a day than most everyone would have it and it wouldn’t really feel legendary.
Now people are getting PvP legendary backpack

PvE players jealous of PvP? Are you serious? There have been no new conquest maps in eternity all the while there was a period when there was new PvE content every two weeks.
Agreed. I usually check the wiki, sometimes there are clarifications.
Just tell them to switch class.
If they don’t, then just afk for the rest of the match.
While tanking your MMR in the process? Good luck with that. Soon you will be paired with people asking when is Teq spawning.
Master Togo. One of the best GW1 NPCs.
What was fixed was 5-man premade versus 5 solo queuers. Your screenshot doesn’t tell the whole picture. Perhaps you had a duo in your team, or perhaps the other team was a trio or 4-man – you don’t need 5 players from a guild to have the guild name up.
Maybe if you spent less time playing LoL and more time studying / reading then you would have a vocabulary larger than that of a lemon.
So it’s not ok for premades to have long queue times but it’s ok for soloers to have their time wasted by being in 5v2-1-1-1 almost unwinnable matches?
Unwinnable? I guess you didn’t read the part where solo-queuers had 50% win rate over full premades in season 1. My only complaint is removing the extra pips awarded for beating a 3, 4 or 5-man teams. There were so many newb guilds just queuing for lulz, getting extra pippage for beating them was pretty cool.
Yeah I don’t see it. I can get a fractal group within seconds, find a HoT meta event in minutes and when the PvP leagues were up my average queue time was less than 2 minutes. I don’t play WvW so I don’t know what’s going on there. Sure lots of people quit, that doesn’t mean the population is lacking. And honestly I have no idea how these achievement hunters made it even this far. Doing every little obscure achievement would drive me nuts within a month.
You are doing it wrong. You need DPS, not survivability. Spike the foes before they reach you. If they get close, pop stability and facetank them. I did the story with all my characters besides a thief and just killed the mobs really fast. My favorite was my zerk ranger – press 2 on longbow and enemy is dead in 1 second.
If you like them, nothing is stopping you from still running them
Only if you have a dungeon guild/group. But if you rely on LFG it may take 30 min to get a HotW p1 group.
It would be fine to replace dungeons with fractals however there were 25 dungeon paths and there are practically 5 fractals (swamp, molten duo and the 2-3 rotating dailies). Dungeons have 8 weapon and 8 armor sets. Fractals have only 2 weapon sets and a backpiece.
Running swamp 5 times a day gets insanely boring. I’d much rather do a different dungeon path, sadly dungeon LFG is a ghost town.
More important:
How long until we finally get the blue, green, red, purple, yellow, orange, light abyss, dark abyss, white abyss wings for 700gems each? (I forgot around 250 colors, please add these wings too!)Anet please take our money, we have way to much!
I am still waiting for my golden lion mask, imperial gold mask, glint gold mask, shiro gold mask, goldy gold mask and a simple gold mask. They stopped at red, green and blue, I am sad.
Condi druid is better. It doesn’t have the dps of an engi, but it does have spotter, frost spirit, glyph of empowerment, and grave of the land.
So it brings a heck of a lot more with it than an engi does.
The Op was asking about dps and I answered with regards to dps. I didn’t say at any point that engineer was better at buffing than a druid.
Ignoring the fact that my comment was not directed at you, you can’t separate the druid from the buffs. Nobody is taking a PS warrior for their smoking DPS, and nobody is taking a druid for that either. Engineer on the other hand offers nothing but DPS.
Nobody is taking an engi for their leet buffs either.
The box within a box within a box rewards are annoying me as well. Plus the additional clicks to delete the bloodstone dust and porous bones/spikes that are included in EVERYTHING it gets irritating fast.
