Bad lol. You either go full glass and kill someone or die cuz sustain is gone from defense line. Hell even damage is gone from strength line lol. A-net balancing, buff 1 or 2 skills, mechanically nerf the class’s main mechanic into the ground.
At this point, can you guys just reward those in 2nd place and 3rd and bump them up? It only seems fair, it should be fairly easy to mail in the rewards.
I wish people played ele on my team. The few boons I get get corrupted so fast its insane. Most of the time resistance doesn’t even do anything with all the boon corrupt sigils around and oh god the number of guardians around doing 10x the damage I do + AOE while blinding me makes this painful.
The amount of pips definately needs to be changed like outmanned buff etc. But most of the changes to pips doesn’t fundamentally stop afkers to getting max reward doing nothing except tagging a guard every 10 mins. From my previous post it does seem that hitting T6 is a bit tough every 5 mins, would probably make it decay half participation rounded up every tick (5 mins).
I work day to day and rank 1950~, I got this rank playing legit not karma training like a hero in EOTM with boosters. This took me 3 years of serious WvWing daily gaming, yet the best I can get is 5-6 pips per tick while winning and that alone took what? 20+ hours. I do not have that much time to throw into WvW while waiting hours to get into WvW queues during prime time.
Who the hell has that much time to throw every single week. PvP backpiece took less than hour per day to complete yet this. Honestly does A-Net even bother to test this?
Post your solution and explain how this will fix 1-4.
Here are the problems:
1. Preventing AFKing.
2. Upholding prestiege for old vet with high rank.
3. Making casuals benefit playing for short durations 1-2hours on any given day.
4. Lower the ridiculous time needed to play to max out tickets on a weekly basis.
Here’s my solution. Make participation reset every tick (5 mins), but give 1 additional pip per tier in those 5 minutes.
1. If you afk you lose out on those and you will not get the next tick for doing nothing. Scouters can get participation if they’re in a squad and given scout tag.
2. Vet players will get a advantage over new players since they tick higher and vet players in general want action so afkers won’t be there to take queue spots.
3. If you actually PLAY you will immediately gain more pips than WAITING around and benefit being in fights. More bang for your time. Currently you play enough for T3 and do nothing to maintain highest pip per tick doesn’t reward constant play. Only rewards those playing for long durations.
4. Overall get more progression without increasing pip gains on the current setup.
Its just a seasonal thing for A-Net. Don’t take it personally, warrior hasn’t been trash bottom tier in awhile, they had it coming. Don’t worry we’ll get an amazing buff to some odd trait that no one uses and continue to NOT use because of how worthless it is.
Don’t queue during non primetime? Most of my matches are like this but I don’t play the same level as you. Play at night and you’ll barely win matches like this or lose alot.
Top guy still gets the title “God of PvP”, no achievement points but for me I’d rather take that title over a few points. So yes he is still getting something no one else can get. Achievement points so far every single achievement point can be achieved by ANYONE if they played consistantly.
This PvP season is different as as this is a hard lock out to everyone except the 250 players in the game. This goes against the philosophy. The fact it took so many to respond to the few, yes the very few but ludicrously loud individuals constantly complaining is insanity. Know what forget what I said, continue to PvF and troll w/e you’re doing.
Make the a new title where you need to spend 10,000g be “I had 10,000g, I had!” and give 20achievement points. Instant gold sink because this current, “I’m rich, you know” title is too easy to get.
Pretty much on spot. Remove pips add RATINGS so people will accept where they stand and tie in legendary backpieces to just games wins. Number ratings are a hell lot easier to gauge. If you won a match against pros you should gain more rating than versus newbies. Now pips are tie to either a loss or a win which is a terrible system.
Fight a hard match and won? 1 pip. Got a lucky break and fought idiots get 1 pip. I seriously hope someone bought this up during your discussion A-Net.
Alot of the champions are simply not soloable and with how few players running around the maps its incredibly hard do them daily.
-The TD sniper champ takes out 40% of my health per hit from anything which is ok since you can kite but the adds that spawn does a leap attack of 8k per leap. Are you kidding me?
-The vampire champ in VB will easily heal to half health if you don’t instant break his CC bar which is impossible alone and you must dodge every SINGLE attack he does on you or he will outheal you.
Just to name a few. Seriously what happens when the next expansion hits none of the content can be completed at all.
Please A-Net forget LS3, just bring in bikinis. I want some with frills others with ribbons in 1 or two piece swim suits or even with bikini top with short skirt bottom. I will buy them ALL in every design/color.
Let me put it simply, there are guilds that literally WvW KNOWING 100% that they are LOSING GOLD doing it constantly. People throw thousands of gold at WvW simply for the sake of fighting because its fun. Reduce the PvE rewards to match WvW, PvE will die within a day. Look at how long of these hardcore WvW guilds have been fighting, that will speak for itself.
I agree with OP, if you guys gave up on the meta and launched with proper support for WvW as GW2’s main selling point you’ll kill every other MMO and PC game out there. Until then fix the skill lag, because that still needs to be looked into.
Honestly, forget seige this seige that. Spend more time on new armor pieces EXCLUSIVE of WvW, in fact dedicate 90% of the team to that and suddenly WvW will become immensely popular. Heck put a poll up about this and I can tell you the voting will be +90% will be yes DO IT (cuz there’s always trolls that like to go against the grain).
Both can be highly mobile damage platforms, and you can make a go of roaming using either the new elite or old vanilla specs. Really depends on the style of play you prefer, from what I can see.
I see more competent high damage warrior roamers out there than ranger, but I dueled a skilled vanilla ranger roamer just last night, so it’s possible. Most rangers just go lazy tank druid though.
I’m not sure about blob fighting though. My guess is lb ranger has more to offer there.
Most? Try all druids go full tank and let the broken HoT pets do all the damage. Basically they are your condi mesmers roamers, don’t bother fighting them all they do is let the NPC kill you while outsustaining you by stealthing for days. They’re no different than trolls, ignore em they do nothing try to kill em well die to the NPC not the player itself.
You guys are always piggy backing on us, it needs to be at least reversed at least once. I want to follow an A-Net tag into battle in SM. If I don’t hear might, veil, bomb here from an A-Net on our teamspeak you ain’t going the full 100%.
My random pug team with no bunker ele, other was premade with bunker ele. Ele did nothing as a bunch of us just all blew up their guys instead of having a useless heal bot. My team won by steamrolling them. Maybe if your team knows how to focus you’ll win???
Kinda annoyed they threw this in with very little communication. I’m rank 1777 and sitting on stacks of mist chests and 34.5k badges from WvW, (NOT EOTM) and now I have to grind this? Sorry the reward track is beyond slow. Why are A-Net always rewarding those that jump in when its flavor of the month instead of rewarding those that been playing WvW for fun and getting laughable loot.
A-Net please wake up and award those with high WvW ranks. My rank isn’t even high, others are sitting at 5000+ rank with nothing to show it but a cheap title.
Also you’re only penalizing the current WvWers vets as we get stuck in queues and have to deal with afkers. Seriously before you do anything in WvW, just ask ANY WvWers with 2k+ rank or something. Not mr casual weekend warrior that logs on once in a blue moon.
Pvp is now a pile of crap along with good for nothing Anet.
I know they reading the forum but the do nothing only moderate like hell and laugh at us. Worst bad-tempered, toxic company ever.
You cannot be more wrong. A-Net does not read forums, they watch popular streamers. Only when popular streamers complain that they take notice and will change anything. Gotta get that E-SPORTS awareness.
What is with all these low skill PvE players trying to bring PvE into WvW. Find some friends, get some skill, go out off your siege and fight your attackers.
sounds like you never defended anything.. defenders are becoming rare and usually its a few people defending against a larger force, buying time, till more show up to help if any even come. i’d like to see you jump out of a tower against a group 2 to 3 times your size. you seem to be a pro wvw so i’m guessing you’d be able to defend something and kill a zerg all by yourself with no siege..
also how is defending your stuff considered pve? are npcs or the environment attacking the towers? no its players
Try tier1 NA. You have the entire YB+TC map queue blob defending 1 keep. 1 AC/treb per player. Everytime BG rolled in hills, we counted 12 sup ac just on along the walls. Theres 10 more inner, yes this is so fun with hardened cannons etc. Seige is supposed to give defenders an edge not just faceroll everyone with PvE. WvW = Massive player vs player not seige vs player.
If you do a poll, do one with multiple answers. Not just a single question, you’ll get ur answers alot faster. Also throw in a small area where people can throw a short comment. Because of the number of comments you will receive its best if you limit the comment to like 100 characters or something as it’ll narrow down what people want most.
Before any major changes goes into world population, the first thing that must happen is that A-Net needs to dangle a carrot so people will actually want to WvW. The rewards are completely skewed now when WvWing. Not only that but if I want to WvW, I sometimes will have to sit in a long queue that may never pop. Once you implement a new legendary something for WvW people will flock to it and player count will grow.
Can we get some kind of ETA on this? All the new stats are gated hard through Magnetite Shards. Takes 12.5 weeks of raids to get a set. The droprate at this point is beyond abysmal compared to everything else for any kind of trinkets as I’ve yet to even get one.
Post a video of your games, otherwise all the players will dismiss you as simply L2P as I am doing now. I’ve seen some real bad players, like real bad, keyboard turning, skill clicker, no dodging zerker staff eles that basically do absolutely nothing. I’m thinking you’re one of those until I see you play.
I enjoy the merge because I rather fight people not doors and empty maps. It really does seem that the majority of the players disappointed are the ones showing up on forums complaining while the greater and much less vocal majority is enjoying it.
There’s alot more roamers around since not everyone likes to run with tag. Now if only TC+YB would man up and not build 7+ Superior ACs with map blob and expect us to fight under them it would be dandy.
Apparently, if you stream you’re the best player ever because you got sheeps that don’t know any better scream and banter for you. Gotta agree with dominik, thousands run the build and shared it but got ignored completely until a streamer does it and suddenly he’s the father of everything inventor of greatness. Whatever.
Best thing to do is to just shrug it off and pretend it’s like Apple claiming they invented everything like rounded corners shape etc etc.
I think people forgot that prices of mat jump all over the place. Some precursors are cheaper to craft still, asking for a perfect system. At the moment, from the prices I’d say they did a good job. Crafting the precursors have some added benefits of extra items (see Colossus) which is why they are higher.
This needs to be a thing, triumph armor is a rather big let down. There needs to be something very good for WvW unobtainable outside of the gamemode itself.
BGer here, if your commanders on ET are leading, feel free to spam in map chat your TS info so us BGers can get in and join you guys. This ain’t a 1 way street, many are willing to hop on your TS to bash the heads of them YB+JQ.
Tired of all the doom and gloom about people complaining about queue times, when its always the minor that speaks ill while the majority of us folks are enjoying it. It’s primetime, after a major patch, reset night. Its going to generate an awful lot of interest therefore the long queues. Great work A-Net.
I hope majority of others who are enjoying it, fresh faces all around and new opponents to fight speak up as well.
Exactly, what is the point of towers if they just serve as points. The map itself uses every bit of it making it much bigger than anything else. Towers in alpine serves as staging attacks and taking it back meant better securing your stuff. Desert BL would be better if the size itself was shrunk in half, literally. The towers are massive and needs to be smaller. People, including roamers like to find fights quickly not run for hours looking for one another. The WP respawns, including all objectives themselves are too far from each other.
Spec to reaper+raid build viper gear for sloth. Ez mode, mobs have no boons to steal and you toss any condi right back at em. Bosses scale with toughness but have no condi resistance.
Take defense traitline because its your sole sustain, then berserker because it takes eons to get 30 strikes to build up adrenaline to even use your burst skills not to mention worthless non-berserk burst skills are terrible, then take discipline because you need fast hands.
Its fine until a rev/ele shows up and protection boons the entire team. Then the random rev skillful passive proc hits and you do effectively 0 damage. Also stability buff hurts warrior more as you won’t be able to break all those stability stacks on people anymore so goodbye setting up hundred blades.
I honestly wonder who the heck is doing balances on warrior.
Nothing solved, warrior still trash tier. They buffed the defensive line and then went ahead and buffed all previously non-meta ability on ALL the other classes.
Last viable build on warrior was to go full and I mean FULL dps, not take defense traitline to even take a crack at people’s protection boon humping. Taking defense traitline hurts your dps so bad for next to no sustain. Sorry boyz warrior still has no sustain, this changes nothing.
“Gain stability while in berserk mode. Gain stability and might when you break out of stun”
3 sec long skill and It could use a little love. Being knocked around while in berserk mode because only 1 stack of stability is lame, berserk mode already got nerfed enough.
Does it not pulse? So like 3sec stability every 3sec?
That’s what reapers get. I don’t see the problem. Necros get the best ranged weapons and their melee option gives em this for free. How about a class with zero sustain and awful ranged kit get something similiar?
The current system is great. Downed the commander, spam attacks on people trying to res and throw em into combat, they now can’t res anymore. Working as intended. Wipe the enemy get your dead back up.
Comparing S1 to S2, S2 is much much longer. Not only that, with more time you let players smack their heads into a the wall till it came down and hit legendary.
Its like raids without an enrage timer, raids would be so easy if everyone with defensive stats and facetanked everything. But no they put in timers so you need to have high dps and lower survivability.
What do you mean? Wasnt it the general consensus that everyone needs to reach legendary just to make everyone happy?
If they dont reach legendary they are stuck in MMR hell. MMR hell isnt good and it will make them quit. So better get all out of MMR hell and in to legendary!
Clearly, and if they lose its 100% always because my teammates not doing anything and running around like headless chickens. The OP is always the top tier player and deserves legendary but stuck in Ruby/Diamond because A-Net secretly hand picks his teammates to make sure he loses and do on a 24/7 basis and throw only pro-league pre-made team players as his opponents.
Yes last season challenging was queueing up with an amber to crater your MMR to get bad enemies and to gain bonus pips on wins. Then its to go full tank and bored each other to death on a point. Pushing each other off points because everyone was tank this tank that and never died. Yes challenging indeed.
Seriously all those “pro” player that deserves legendary pls show a few videos of your gameplay before you mouth off and blame on A-Net. If anything this season hitting legendary is way to easy.
I call this the Reaver build. WvW only unfortunately. I have run every Warrior build imaginable since inception. This build is the stupidest, most op, and dirtiest build I’ve ever played. I feel dirty. Plain dirty. The damage is unmatched. People have invited me to group asking me what the hell I was running, even had one guy accuse me of hacking.
Does 1140 damage on interrupt.
Steals 1023 health on interrupt.
NO BLOODY COOLDOWN (YOU WUT MATE)
Before anyone whines about lack of mobility, you need to learn to swap in GS/sword for kiting, if you can’t you have no business here in the first place. But you can stay in the fight and take down multiples quickly, you have plenty of sustain if you time your interrupts, and not mash buttons.
-231% crit damage
-2600 power before might stacks
-45% crit chance
-33% chance for might on critical with 20% boon duration + strength runes for insane might stacking
-2600 armor (More with RR)
-Almost 20k hp (plenty with this build)
-Intelligence sigil on Hammer for swap OP smash combos.
-Healing and extra tough with RR. You have 2, you can drop bulls charge and pick up Outrage, but I like the extra interrupt.
EVERY TIME you interrupt a foe, you do stupid damage AND heal. You have a lot of interrupts with this build. If you wanna get real dumb with it, you can drop strength runes, and pick up Runes of the Defender for even more insane sustain.
If you wanted to make it more cancerous, I suppose you could go for distracting strikes, but that’s not my cup of tea.
Working on recording some fights right now, but I’ve won every single 1v1 and 1v2 I’ve had. Stay tuned.
Problem is that CC chaining is no good, so you’re going to get kited to hell and back. Its ok on current ele meta, and can kill thieves but I don’t think anything else. Revs have too much stability/blocks/evades, guardian blocks, necro stability in reaper, druid ult stabo spam(really the pet is what kills you not the druid itself). I honestly think you’ll be better off just having sigil of air/leech/fire. If you’re ever going glass for anything the idea is always either to attack when the enemy isn’t able to attack back through CC chaining em or quick bursts. This build is bad zerk has no sustain.
That vid with the thief works because he 100→0 ppl in seconds. Notice how he is nearly full glass and only wins when he manages an interrupt. Shame he never fought any decent revs that actually run stability on dodge+bulwark.
I miss it too for this meta we have. So many attacks blocked left and right. But it should updated to any attacks blocked/reflected/destroyed(this is for rifle shots) grant 5 might stacks for 10s and 3 strikes of adrenaline. You know to keep up with this meta.
^. I don’t think anyone will disagree with Ventari needing a buff but not Jalis. Jalis is fine damage reduction just taking a sneeze and crazy spammable CC.
. The few boons I get get corrupted so fast its insane. Most of the time resistance doesn’t even do anything with all the boon corrupt sigils around and oh god the number of guardians around doing 10x the damage I do + AOE while blinding me makes this painful.
