Guild Wars 2

Thank the lord

this is a good thing

TIL: A few days now means 2 weeks.

Arena Net #1, Ignore any ETA requests on this blog. I’m expecting this blog to be 25 pages long or something.

Or else what?

If you didn’t care you wouldn’t have mentioned it. I didn’t even know WoW had a new expansion coming out. I have no interest in the game anymore. I have done everything I wanted to do in the game and then some.

I care that people will leave the game because of lack of competition/elo/mmr etc. I Won’t play WoW but people will.

There is going to be a huge blog post in the coming days explaining future plans for spvp. Emoqt, Arenanet is known for giving out extremely great pvp content and we are not forgotten. They only want to ensure that everything is perfect when it’s all implemented. It’s the beginning of the game, and hardly a month into release, right now I suggest practicing with your team and your class/es.

My team went 4 days without losing, not because we are exceptional but the competition is lacking. It took 4 days to find a team that even made the game challenging, We are NOT learning from this in anyway shape or form.

Whats your setup?

Guardian, Guardian, Thief, Mesmer, Mesmer ?

Exactly what I thought as I read his post

Its funny how you were wrong though.

“Guardian, Thief, Mesmer, Warrior, Necromancer
Its funny, don’t people moan about necros being underpowered?

Says the scrub playing mesmer. I watched you videos. You are a terrible clueless player just mashing buttons. I guess that works fine playing mesmer – maybe try playing necro and see how you do. Would love to see that."

Why would we run 2 necros? Same reason we don’t run 2 mesmers. Why can’t you people just accept that we aren’t playing what you are insinuating “this guy hasnt lost in 4 days must be playing double mesmer hurrdurr” ubadbro.

@Deeepblue: I bet my head that you’re right…the OP is surely running – 2x guardians-2xmesmer-warrior/thief; against whom the majority of players are clueless against atm.

So OP try to run with non-gimmick team set-up and try to win 4 days in a row with the majority of the community able to counter ( skill based still) effectively, waiting for your videos.

But generally I find it amusing that somebody running double guardian+spirit hammer-trebuchet teleport mesmer -smoke field thief, come here and complain about the grade of difficulty in sPvP….try to run using less exploits?!

When they’ll remove those things I wonder where your team will be….

We don’t use these things, with the exception of the mesmer portal treb. We didn’t lose in 4 days running a normal setup. pls try hardur.

I’m not saying we are good by any means, I’m trying to say that there is no ELO/Ranking system therefore playing random teams gets boring. I’m trying to say we only did this because no good teams qued into us not because we are amazing.

We run mesmer/thief/warrior/guardian/necro, We don’t want to run double mesmer double guardian crap just because its broken therefore we don’t bother.

learn to write and use properly words maybe. “this” in gw2 forum far fomr the first sentence means gw2, not WoW. sorry

+1

“PANDALAND IS COMING OUT!

On a serious note I have no interest for this game"

So that means I have no interest in GW2, ok. I love your basic ability to read and understand a bit of text.

PANDALAND IS COMING OUT!

On a serious note I have no interest for this game, but other people will do because of the boredom of sPvP and lack of arena-net input.

Coming from WoW I know you need to start early to stay ahead in pvp due to the gear treadmill, your blog that takes ten day to write needs to come soon. I’m afraid we will lose a large pvp player base.

T&C: We said esports so np we don’t need to worry about spvp now.

It takes 5 days to make a blog appparently

My main concerns right now is teams will get bored because of lack of competition. Up and coming teams will get bored because there is no ELO to match there own skill so they will either stomp or get stomped – no decent games. No custom tournaments to have in community tournaments (guilds etc) and our team cant scrim any other teams.

Not impressed.

1. ETA on private tournaments
2. ETA on ELO/ranking system
3. confirmation on the ELO/ranking system being solo or team based?
4. Duels? y/n?

People will get bored of PVP and the potential for an esports will fail, a response would be nice, thanks

I really agree, this needs to be done. I’m currently in a organized team and we face nearly no challenge at all. Even if you could only do one thing at a time, start with private tournaments and then move on to ELO/Rating system as a TEAM not a SOLO rating that would ruin the game.
