Guild Wars 2

I seen it on someones stream yesterday and it happened to me today as well, we were facing a full guild team in TPVP, beating them by about 200 points and then all of a sudden, everyone on my team crashes apart from me, they were fighting the enemy team while I was point holding.

No-one on the enemy team crashed and due to stupid bugs like GW2 taking forever to load back into the game the enemy team won because they immediately took all points and took both buffs on the first round, seems a bit suspicious that nobody on the enemy team crashed at all when they were actually fighting my teammates, it’s not as if my teammates were on the different part of the map and some sort of isolated incident caused them to crash, they were right beside the enemy team and yet none of them crashed.

I can’t remember the name of the guild but it was something like “Vi Et Armies”.

The sad fact is they only beat us by about 50 points and this was due to very long loading times for some reason.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Between things like this and then constant lag spikes when trying to do TPVP, it really brings the morale down and nobody wants to continue to play.

Hey guys! Well after seeing a lot of bad stories about ele’s everywhere I look I thought I would make a short video (which ended up becoming a 37 minute video) where I talk about the Elementalist class in general (and give some tips I suppose)

I’m Rank 26 at the moment from doing mostly TPVP with Elementalist so thought I’d try to help out some of the newer players when it comes to PVP with Ele.

I also state some of the issues I would like to see handled if Ele’s are to be changed.

There’s a few things I probably forgot to say due to having to record the microphone audio twice (it didn’t record correctly the first time) one of the things was that we really need a better downed state and always remember to maintain the skill Rock Shield at all times if playing S/D.

Lastly if there’s a few basic things that I forgot to go over I’m sorry but this is just really a video for people who are familiar with the skills, if people want I can create a video that goes over the basics but it seems like most people reading this section have a basic grasp on what each skill does, using common sense on assessing whether or not to use certain skills for offensive or defensive purposes and turning off auto-targeting to prevent RTL mess ups etc.

There were also some frame drops after rendering (probably due to my terrible GFX card but that will be getting upgraded in about 2-3 weeks)

Well I play exclusively PvP (tournaments w/ around about 85%+ win rate) I’m currently rank 26 so can’t speak for PvE but I see people crying everyday about how Elementalists are so UP etc. and this is not really true. The only thing the Elementalist class needs is a bit of fine tuning like damage upped on some of the air skills, cooldowns reduced on certain skills, things like dragon’s tooth not being ground-targetable and a base HP increase then we’ll be golden.

Also classes like mesmer, thief, guardian need to be toned down a bit (not saying huge nerf just a few minor adjustments to a couple of skills).

Sure we have to switch attunements and put out a lot more APM than everyone else bar engineer but that’s what makes playing Elementalist fun for me, If I played a class where I could just spam 2 buttons to win I would get very bored, very fast.

By the way I play D/D, S/D and Staff support all in tournies depending on what I feel like rolling and do equally well on all 3 specs, it just depends on what your team needs and how it fits your play style.

So for all those people crying, take a break from Ele, go play another class for a day or two then if you don’t want to go back to Ele then don’t, there’s plenty of us who will stay and remain patient, ANET has a lot of other issues such as server stability and account security that need paid attention to before listening to your constant nagging because you aren’t able to faceroll like your friends.
