Sure is, Crysis uses it.
I lost a ranked game cause of it. Glad, i m not the only one experiencing this.
Since sPvP is a MOBA, let’s do like them to bring more players in.
Guild Wars 2 isn’t a MOBA; it’s an MMORPG.
There you have it, according to Velimere.7685, the reason GW2 is p2w is because its a mmorpg.
Before HoT this was the only mmorpg that had absolutely no p2w in its spvp gamemode, and it was a godsend.
Well, before HoT, the core game wasn’t accessible to free players.
Wrong again. Summer 2015 was the F2P heaven, we had 3 seconds queue pop in RANK queue.
HoT did come in 25 October 2015 and shorter queue time were 1 min or so. Both at the same MMR or so.
And when was HOT announced? Dude, i am starting to believe you don’t get marketing at all.

Some players seem to forget that this is P—V—P.
This attitude that f2p players need to cough up cash just to get a level playing field is astounding. PvP is a competitive format. ALL players should have access to the most recent upgrades whether they’re part of an expansion or not.
Or else….it’s pay-to-win.
That is completely and utterly incorrect.
State your reason.
Anet has to pay the bills!!
Guess what? So do I.
Then, you understand how life works. Nothing of value is free, If you value this game or Hot, then you should have no problem spending another 50 bucks on it.

How about we nerf everyone else instead… It’ll take more time but it’ll be healthier for the game.
whats the difference? most classes already can die in about 10 seconds. would you like to cut that down more?
The difference is less powercreep.
lol at warrior can disengage and re-engage when they want?
and its around 380 hp, please learn to dodge our F1, it;s very telegraphic. Removing adrenal Hp or even lowering it, would literally kill the warrior class.
Well if its not HOT spec line based its hard to do things.
For instance i cant even rez in rampage since they reduced its stability and now even in rampage mode i get feared,knockdown and stunned constantly.
Also we all know S4 of league is about the grind and not about how good the players are.
I respectfully disagree, most good player will reach legendary with less than 200 – 250 games. And since folks have to win 5 vs 5, i don’t see how skills are excluded?
/fifteencharacters
We HAVE both. That’s the problem.
Pips just do not work. It’s not a good system. It’s a race to the top. The only “competitive” aspect of it is who can get there the fastest. Pips just signify how far along the track you are, not how skilled you are.
MMR with leaderboard works. We had it in the past. It wasn’t perfect, but it did give you an idea of how skilled you were.
Careful what you ask for!! It wasnt perfect is the key word here, they swapped it for a reason.
Arguably the best thing anet could do is just get rid of trees.
Players get to choose;
3 x grandmaster traits.
3 x master
3 x adept
6x conjunction traits.They can choose from any trait line tree to make a specific build for their play style.
i like this idea.
It’s applies 3 damaging conditions that are easily, cleansed there are build in breaks in between evades used from DB can be easily interrupted especially with all the Cc in game, easiest way to kill it is Immob or stun which are abundant in this meta.
Fivedawgs I know you main War which is grossly more OP than this thief build so don’t try to claim Condi op on an easily intteruptible build especially with the amount of Cc and Condi applications warriors have on top of sustain.
I main Power Warrior which is not OP, and my power build is not even meta. Most peopel rather run GS/ axe + shield then GS/ Mace + shield which i run, because it;s easily countered by stab. I said it again and again, the condi warrior build needs to be adjusted.
But you guys are acting as if the OP was an imbecile.
Should we balance around complete noobs? Anet already did with HoT and see what happened – most of classes are pretty much on auto-pilot now and pvp became skillless and boring.
Using this logic, we shouldn’t adjust DH at all. Since, Frosty bobbles or other high tier revs have managed to beat Mo/obs?? right? They can kill the build without killing the class, it has been done for Killshot warrior (the piercing was tone down, etc..)
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
I couldn’t care less about what the OP is complaining about, but the condi-evade build needs to be nerfed.
exhibit number 1 = No break in dodges
I think this is what they use. Basically they spam dagger 3 and evades, while maintaining endurance from the heal and signet.
Pretty close. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZAQJAoYn0MBFOh9OBGmC8PhFqiaO77+wvLBCgDw7C+gBA provides more upkeep on initiative, evades and endurance and is likely the build being used.
This needs looked at by Anet. It not being widespread until just now and other classes having potentially overpowered builds does not excuse this.
Exhibit 2: the insane survavility of the build
I hope you uderstand its hard to take a clicker seriously when talking about balancing issues.
As for the build, it just requires CC lock timing/kiting when 1v1ing or literally ignoring it on teamfights
If they take the 12 sec CD block they fixed their cc problem instead of the skill 9 taken in the video skill 8 also breaks cc a passive is active on this thief that breaks cc. CC will not kill this thief. It can literally tank a point longer than a guardian in 1 vs 5. I haven’t even touched on the thieves that abuse this with SA to hold a point then swap to d/p and run to the next point.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
since when can you hold point while being in stealth xD ?I know your trolling but I’ll interpret English for you.
1. The thief evades not stealth on point okay? If you understand this….
2. The thief can’t hold the point indefinitely so at low hp escapes the 1 vs 3 or 1 vs 5 Using stealth ? Understand yet?
3. Then the thief decaps another point and contests it as his teams or neutral repeating after a few minutes of 1 vs 3 or 1 vs 5.This is why you read in context my friend.
Exhibit 3: The build is insane with condi
The problem is that they dont need use #2 – #5 skills. Evades and aa do all job. They can kill but cant be hitted or killed.
Wrong. They use skill 3 to evade as well, and maybe occassionally use the AA. They don’t use 2, 4, 5 because those are all power skills with no condition damage.
Works better with conditions, but power specs also spamm evades as a kind of invul.
Anet, it’s time to look at this build. Way Way too cheesy, it;s bad for the aorta.
I’m not a bad player. I would say I’m average; each season so far I’ve generally stopped around end of Sapphire/start of Ruby depending on how much time I want to dedicate. Myself and two others on my team were just beat by a single thief by him dodging repeatedly. He would occasionally use his staff leap skill but, he was literally dodge jumping almost the whole time. We barely hit him and he would just heal anyway. I realize I have every opportunity to play my thief the same way but, it doesn’t make it right. The amount of evade they have now is just irresponsibly unbalanced. Please reduce it.
You are right, dont let any of the noobs above tell you otherwise. ANET HAS TO NERF THAT build. it require no skill and all the thief has to do is evade whislt spamming condi. Thanks for bringing this back..
THE Build require zero skill, like zero. Anet has to nerf that build!!!
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
lol at the warrior changes.
-Mace is a defensive weapon, with F1 as it’s only offense. And you want to nerf what makes it viable???
-Warrior or condi warrior loses a trait to apply confusion.
So, idk what you are getting at.
Regardless of their intentions, it’s still a huge kitten move to go back on their original design philosophy of sPvP being a completely level playing field, where skill is the deciding factor, not higher levels or better gear or access to better abilities.
If they wanted to fix this they could either split queues for core/f2p vs HoT players, or allow elite spec access to core/f2p in sPvP, or just balance the kitten game so that elite specs aren’t the best option 100% of the time for every class. At this point all of those seem very unlikely, though.
Nope, it is for everyone who own the game!!! what arent you getting., EXPANSION ARE PART OF THE GAME.
Yes. ANet want to sell HoT Expansion.
To be true: to sell the Game (if you buy it it’s the entire game, that is both core and expansion).Had I ever told that Elite are here to make F2P play happy and win fights?
I told that ANet want to sell his game, like every company.
I also told that grant elite specs to F2P is a really terrible idea, simply why isn’t what ANet planned (and i can only hope that it’s not what they want to do), specifically why they want to Sell the game(+expansion), not make you play for free.You simply summed all i told, without try to belive why I wrote that.
There’s a BIG Difference between a P2W and a B2P, that’s the only thing I want to make you understand.
But you all still insist to that “B2W”, that don’t even exist!In terms that also you can understand:
Buy the game if tou want to Play this game and be at the same level of everyone.
Or be a F2P why you don’t want to spend some (few) moneys (also once for all, why if ANet continue with they’re timing you’ll don’t see another expansin before the next 2 years) for this beautiful game, that you also are a funboyz of (your words)Any thing that make F2P don’t want to Buy that game is not a good thing for the game.
And what do you think will happen if ANet make F2P able to play at the same level of who bought the game? even in a single game mode.
They will have plently petitions and will lose a large amount of old players.
Give for Free the Best Contents of an Expansion? That’s the better way to lose a large amount of players.If you really like this game, buy it.
If you don’t like enough this game to buy it, don’t ask to obtain for free the best contents of the only thing you pay for.Did i ever said i want free player to have the same access in SPVP (unlock advance classes) as the veteran (who bought vanilla gw2) and hot expansion buyers?
I just want the veteran to have access of advance class in SPVP ONLY. (not PVE and WVW)
Right now anet putting veteran player, the same situation as the free players.
free players never spend any money on gw2!
veteran players bought the vanilla gw2!!
i dont give a craps about free player dont have access of advance class in spvp.
what im here to say is, veteran play should have access to advance class in SPVP
and dont tell me to play other moba game, im already doing that, and im here just to save gw2 from being a dead game. more veteran are playing other game right now, see how long spvp que..
No-one is going to ctaer to you, buy the game or begone.
And i am also here to tell you, noone cares baout your veteran status, at this point you are leech, You are leeching off of everyone else. So, you have two choices:
- Buy the expansion and stop leeching off of everyone else
- uninstall your game (That’ll make you sleep at night)
Until then, ..

I like the treb and often use it, maybe only for a few shots in mid at start. But if it´s destroyed, i don´t run to repair it. This is a wate of time and propably even more points to the oponent. If someone runs for treb repair it´s usually a loss ….
So remove the repair kit, it´s a beginnes trap. Increase turn speed. Ammo options would be very nice. A large water field and a poison field on 20s cd on 4+5 maybe.
And don´t screw treb. Secondary objectives that can turn a match enrich PvP.
WHY??? Aren’t beginners supposed to learn from their mistakes? Why are you trying to dumb down this game? Water field, Posion field?? So more Power Creep?? kitten, these are the same people who are complaining about hot power creep!!
Haste stomp?
Anything that modifies attack speed also modifies all channels (including stomps).
Can’t decide if Lucred is saying facts wrong to trigger people, or he actually believes it
Considering I witness it firsthand every day (both on the giving and receiving end), I believe it. I’m not trying to be confrontational, but it seems like this is how it actually works.
Unless there’s another explanation for sub-1-second stomps from characters with no specialty stomp mechanic (like guardians and warriors) when and only when they’re on the same team and in close proximity to a chronomancer. I’m willing to learn here.
edit
According to the wiki, any and all Quickness shortens the channel on all actions.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quickness
expect rezzing!! rezzing is fine.. DONT RUIN THE GAME ANET!!!
Just separate Free trial players from Expansion players. Solution done.
Who said it was a problem? If you don’t like Anet model. Go ahead an open a restaurant, and advertised it as a free to eat. Trust me , you’ll get the clientele !!! Just dont forget to file for Chapter 11..
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to jump in here and give a quick summary list of some of the feedback in this thread.
- Have treb take damage from condi’s and crits
- Rotation speed increase NO
- Remove Treb completely NO
- Faster fire rate NO Why do you want to increase the power creep??
- Different treb amno that supports allies on points NO
- Teleport skill drop the siege bundle
Remember that this thread is a discussion between myself and you the community. I can’t promise any of the suggestions will be implemented or when. However, I am reading the thread and taking the feedback very seriously and passing it along to the PvP Team.
Now some additional questions:
- If you could add one ammo type to the treb (poison shot, healy shot, etc.) what would it be?
- How long (in seconds) do you think it should take the treb to turn from Home to Far?
- How long (in seconds) do you think a damage dealer (either physical or condi) should take to kill a treb?
Thank you all for participating in the discussion and keeping is constructive.
I ll a dress the rest later, but why do you want to kill whatever shred of skill this game has. What’s your goal here?? And please no power creep, and stop trying to dumb down the game.
Since when is ressing a massive problem? there is tons of cleave in this game. Heck sometimes getting somebody up is an task in itself taking kittentons of cleave damage. They are things such as CC from party members to interupt resses. Heck against certain team comps u shouldn’t try to ress. And if u manage to succesfully ress. U might as well put yourself in a disadvantage and were prolly better of kiting, juking or disenaging anyways. Rather then add to the snowball affect of a full team wipe.
All that needs to be done is implement the 1 v 1 rally policiy and you’re good to go and reduce the range of when u can be ressed. And this is more on principle really. Rather then ressing bieng an unbalanced mechanic which it isn’t. And this isn’t even needed in my opinion. But rather if ressing needs fixing. then implement this.
1 v 2’s should be incredibly hard to win by default. It’s you on your own with limited stats vs another player and an partner that tries to kill you. they may or may not be co-ordinating thier attacks which means if they are. Your odds are supposed to even lower. the 1 v 2 is not an solid argument when this game is mainly a teamgame. And where ressing will ussually involve 1 multiple players. Combine this with the matchmaking that needs to be fixed as well. And gaps might as well widen even more.
U shouldn’t Incentivze players to become even more selfish as ressing become a liability. And kill feeling of working together even more. If implemented wrongly u’d create more animosity as people would become even angrier for having thier teammate downed as they have less options to carry.
This!! The OP post is L2P issue. Anet should focus on fixing bugs instead of rinning rezzing.
No @ROC and @Nick, if you want pve mastery, xp, or whatever you have to play pve.
This is something we’ve been monitoring for a while. We’re looking at a couple of different options here, but we do need to be careful making changes to something that is so integral to PvP gameplay (and as a note, we’d be making changes to PvP only).
Below are some suggestions I’ve seen on this forum over the past few months. We wouldn’t do all of them of course, but I figured I’d throw them out and see how you folks feel about them.
- Implement 1-to-1 rally policy, similar to WvW. This means that only 1 player would rally per enemy killed, rather than up to 5. Would likely be the downed ally closest to the enemy player.
- Cap the range at which someone can rally.
- Bring back PvE-downstate policy
- Shorten revive/downed “invuln” buff.
- Reduce healing per tick when rezzing.
- Further reduce downstate HP
- Adjust outlier revive skills (Function Gyro)
Please don’t DESTROY PVP… REZZ IS FINE, 5here is no need to change it. Focus on FIXING BUGS.
What you need to do, I to look at scrapper rez ability or whatever. But don’t touch rezzing.
It’s fine as it is…
is not that who buy the game win and who don’t lose. Is that if you don’t buy the game you Deserve to lose against who Bought it!
What kind of double-think pretzel logic is that? You’ve basically just said that this IS buy-to-win!
How about Buy to Play?
I thought witches could be classified as necromancer? ? And they all use staffs or canes, but I have yet to see on with a GS.
It’s quite interesting that everyone want to have a function GS in spvp and yet warrior don’t have a staff, focus , shortbow and the list goes on and on. How many necros irl uses GS?? Would Dracula chose a GS over his crow or whatever skill he is wont to? Uhm..
Bull charge, stomp, kick , rampage and maybe throw bola.
Glad to see this. Great job. Feels good knowing that warriors are well taken care of after I pass the torch in the community.
Keep the community alive and stay pushing the frontier.
I am chilling in ruby hell at the moment as I waited too long to push up. But if I get bored of other RF stuff, I may try and get at least diamond.
Yeah, I know you d get there, but you have to do it ASAP though. Since your teammates have a huge impact on the outcome this time around. I believe wilson is struggling in amber, although he doesn’t play that much.
Btw, I think you were right about signet of might that battouza dude keep on owning people with it. So, I am currently trying to get a hang of it.
Mad is a good warrior and a frequenter of the 1 vs 1 arena’s. No matter how good one person is at their class there is always a hard counter and Mad would be the first to tell you that. Seen him lose first hand to Mesmers, Guards and other warriors but it’s not from a lack of skill obviously but rather that’s just the nature of pvp. Any class with a high up time in reflection is going to give that build problems.
Good work on reaching legendary though and I bet it was a lot of fun doing it with Rifle/LB. The beauty of pvping with a weapon set like that is the average pvper has no idea how to counter it because it’s not “meta”.
i see, MAd is the one who climbed with Rifle/ Lb, idk why he ius using LB/ Mace shield these days. Anways, i got to legendary with power warrior Mace. Shiled GS.
I have reach the last tier of legendary and i am having a hard time against Revs!!
It’s a bug. Since there is no title 5his season. They will update it at the end; I guess.
Since we already have WvW, I’d rather the Devs spend time and resources on something else.
Good luck.
WvW is dead.
Remove WvW servers and add open PvP Tyria. That would be fun. It could be like WvW. As the OP stated, guilds could claim outposts/cities and attempt to defend them. By holding an outpost someone in Arah let’s say, your guild could gain MF bonuses or something in the area that surrounds it, ect.. ect.. I would spend hours and hours in to this game mode. It would easily replace WvW.
Probably something that would never happen but it would be fun.
Reminds me of old Ultima Online days.How is WvW dead, and how can you make such a statement when you don’t even post there? It’s like me, an hrxcore spvp player, saying pve is dead..
Literally, “a player beginning play on his first day”, could load in to his tier 1 WvW server and notice that very few people were in the map to the point that it was boring and difficult to find action happening.
Now check out this video from 2-3 years ago:
-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA6lukCWKyE
I get into fight like those every Friday. I undrtsbad that the mode is a shell of its old self buy the devs are busting their kitten off to improve it and thus far they have don’t a pretty good job. As a matter of fact, WvW is 100% better now than during S1 or 2.
I know he climbed with rifle and lb and use signet of might. That’s all I can tell, and to my knowledge he has yet to lose a 1 vs 1. When I was climbing, dude would go far ( high doamond) and folks would stay away from him ( revs, scrapper, DH). You don’t simply 1 vs 1 against mad martini regardless of your class or skill, because dude wins 95% of his 1 vs 1. Needless to say, I ve never killed him in 1 vs 1. Our fights usually ends with him having 10 or 5% Hp left.
Dude, if you don’t want to support the gane you might as well just L.E.A.V.E. . Or better yet you could go B.A..C.K. to W.o.W. and tell them how veterans players shouldn’t be paying monthly fees.
Want HOT? Buy it like everyone!!
drop que and re-que. Sometimes I have to do that, can’t tell you why it happens though.
ok
1 hours queues shouldn’t be a thing during peak hours. Like, i have been sitting here for an hour and 40 min and still nothing.
i Like the Naruto-ism of your post.
Gear only matter in wvw
I am saying 1 vs 1. I don’t think any scrapper killed me 1 vs 1.What you are describing to me is like a team fight since I don’t recall it. Trust me, me losing to a scrapper 1 vs 1 is mechanically impossible atm.
True, if a pro scrapper vs a low mmr player ( rev) vs me can’t kill me and failed to do so countless time. I don’t see how I can lose to an engi in 1 vs 1. Btw me not losing to a scrapper doesn’t mean I killed him or didn’t lose the point ( in 2 vs 1).
Anywyas, if it was a 1 vs 1 * although I don’t recall it) grats my friend
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
Lol, at engis beating DH and at league meaning nothing. Scrapper are so lame atm that I have yet to lose against one since league started.
And what jourdeline said.
Sorry Bro, you got killed by me on your GS Power warrior homebrew build a couple of time the last month.
Not my fault, Retal can be OP when you don’t look for it.
I don’t recall dying to any scrapper since the league started … or to put it in plain words. I have not lost to a scrapper from ruby to legendary. Since I don’t recall anything that happened in saphire tbh. Then again, I have a total of 7 games in saphire.
OK you said last month, was it in unranked or ranked? Because of pretty good record of hammering pro scrapper. I doubt it was in ranked… but yeah, if I did then something was seriously amiss.
(edited by Fivedawgs.4267)
honestly a little ridiculous that i can queue for ~5 hours in a day and only get one match to pop
It’s very unlikely to happen LMAO. Try to play at peak hours
what are peak hours if not the 4 hour window both before and after daily reset?
At least the average queue is under 3 minutes.
Last season I was getting 10+ minutes and gave up. This season I’ve given up because I keep getting teams that don’t know what home is.
I believe he is talking about legendary ×1 or ×2
Funny because mine are around 10 max, I usually get 17 or 20 min queues in the morning.. but it average out around 10 min or even less during prime time. Are you both auspices?
I wish I could get queues to pop in the morning lol, between 6 AM and 1 PM EST queue pops are so rare that I don’t even bother anymore
That’s sucks, I guess it pays to live in the Texas.
What that gamemode need is a balance between healer and dps. Stop playing during S2, when druids and ele kept bombers alive whilst being tanky negating any of my dmg. But the gamemode itself has potential, although I rarely play it ( last time I touched it when during S2).
I think adding burning oil on the inner and outer gate would help as well.
Something really needs to be done about queue times. In legendary x2 it is almost impossible for me to get a game at all even at prime time. With queue times averaging about 40 minutes, most of my ‘play time’ consists of me standing around in a queue doing nothing. There is nothing I want to do in pve right now either because I have got almost every achievement and done every bit of content multiple times. Right now I can’t get more than 4 games per day even when queue times are better than average for me even though I play at least 4 hours every day and I like to play 15-20 per day in lower divisions.
Something about matchmaking needs to be changed in legendary division- maybe just match anyone in legendary against anyone else in legendary without even considering pips or MMR because right now even the lowest quality matches ever are better than no matches at all.
How about a Big Fat No!!

I disagree, you couldn’t be further fro truth, Let’s look at warrior for instance, the Defense line is more OP than zerker or discipline. Same with Guardian, their core lines are better than DH, hence why most of them are running core guardian.
