Guild Wars 2

Why is it so hard for devs to balance this build, you kittened up this game just admit it. Both “test seasons” to improve the state of pvp have been littered with turret aids the improvements to the LB never came its still a farm fest of no skilled turret kids. Literally just soloqeueud into 4 games this morning 12 of the 40 players were turret engis. On the day of the GD stronghold beta one of your lowlife dev’s queued with a turret engi. THE FIRST DAY OF BETA AND UR QUEUEING WITH TURRETS. more than 6 months of asking for nerf to turrets and this is how you treat the pvp communiy. God knows why you even said u were trying to revive pvp with reward for lb and WTS esports scenerino. I’d honestly rather watch you take a kitten on my puppy then see this useless nerf put into the game. THUMPER TAKES MORE DMG WHOOP DEE SCOOBY DOO

Hi all,

As a follow-up to my post from last Friday, I wanted to give you a run-down of the changes we’re looking to make to the engineer’s turrets:

• Engineer turrets will be able to be critically hit. (Edit for clarity: this change means the turrets can take critical hits against them, but they still cannot deal critical hits themselves.)
• Engineer turrets will be able to be affected by conditions.

We’d love to hear your feedback on these changes. Feel free to respond below with your comments.

SWEET BABY JESUS 3/4 OF THE GD TURRETS ARE ALREADY EASY TO KILL YOU’VE DONT NOTHING TO NERF THIS BUILD

you just did creature @ start

Please no moverino, looking for forum is ded
Hello everyone, my name is Thee Faux.
I am undoubtedly the best turret engi in the game. In 1v1 there’s very few that consistently beat me, and if they are about to I instacrate. I basicly know everything there is to turret engi, like did you know you can overcharge your thumper turret to knock someone back? I always die on point #worth. Turrets ALWAYS pull my weight when I’m playing seriously. I’ve been playing this game for less than a year but that doesn’t matter cause turrets.. I watch every tourney, I look at all the strats and comps and splits. I know almost every mechanic there is to know in this game. To be frank, I’m a god.
Previously I’ve been on two teams. Both those teams failed. Basically I have a personality issue, it’s hard being royalty surrounded by peasants. So if you want to win, pick me up and endure my horrible personality and upbringing #turrets.
Here I am looking again for a team. Basically, I want a good team. I just want a team where I’m not significantly better than everyone else. I don’t want to have all the pressure on me to make plays because I’m the best player. I don’t want to “carry”, basically. I want no weak links, good teamwork, and good mechanical skill. I also want to play with people that I like and enjoy playing with. I know that in game I seem like an arrogant jerk sometimes, but honestly it’s just the anonymity of the internet getting to me. In real life I’m much worse. I dont ever rage in teamspeak, I never call anyone bad, etc. I’ll just ignore you for a week and expect you to still love me.
So yeah
If anyone is interested, you can PM me at GodHasResigned.5720 or my character name “thee faux”
And if anyone questions my title as best turret engi in the world just remember I beat jazzy and that other turret engi he runs with two games in a row where I self proclaimed myself “the champ”. I also once complained about how annoying turrets were when I was on a warrior, and a teammate yelled “IS THE LORD OF TURRETS REALLY TALKING RIGHT NOW?” Thus crowning me lord of the turrets.

Guardian
Slightly over-powered for low MMRs
Balanced for intermediate MMRs
No longer viable for higher MMRs

delete before kitten and eu find out about this

sweet god why complain they already said they would remove/lessen the emphasis on games played which means the current lb will be fixed. the problem is no difference from team queue and solo . Example i went from 76% win rate to 68% over 200 games when i was #1 with 600 games and ending @ 800. Off season with no team queues im at 58% which is fine since soloqueu win rate should be .500. its also off season who cares they aren’t getting rewards. MMR and MM system are fine there should be no complaints Anet has really stepped up for the pvp community. the old team lb was perfect this lb with a heavier emphasis on MMR will be fine, but if they give it to us now we wont have anything to complain about until HoT is released so they tease us #logic.

plus 1 add solo/duo and then do teams it will fix the “lb prblem” also

Have no fear peasants even if they nerf turrets into the ground it will always be viable. I play 0/0/0/0/0/0 cause i enjoy the handicap, not just the mental one.

heres some feedback at the VERY least 10% of his wins from beating me, my % was above 74% for all but the last week of the season . And if i average going 20 – 6 depending on what teams are running then hop off my kitten cause thats not a grind.

Also if this game buffs turrets and makes them mobile like in the trailer. THERE IS NO GOD #commingfromaturretengi

As the best turret engi in the world I would like to formally request a mystic forge put in the pvp lobby. I have just used the mystic forge for the first time the other day and its amazazing why tease us with all these npcs and give us 15 mins queue times at my mmr and not give me a mystic forge. The Christmas tree thingie that people glitch under literally looks like a mystic forge. Im sure there is an actual reason why Anet has not supplied me with a mystic forge, but Im me and I want it now<

Ever stop to think that maybe it was because they had you on their team?

I would like to formally apologize to the entire Guild Wars 2 community for playing so much turret engi. I hope you all can find it in your heart to forgive me. I have an addiction……. to getting carried. Ever since I was a baby I remembered getting carried by my parents. Please keep me in your prayers as I fight this addiction.

Laserbolt.6731:

Look. If you want win/loss to mean anything, then only allow play in your specific bracket.

And no…GW2 does not HAVE brackets. They will put any noob against a veteran team if that’s all that is in the queue at the moment.

If you are going to essentially mix Gold bracket players with Bronze players, forget high win/loss as meaning anything other than you had easy games against weak opponents.

I mean, seriously, think this through a little more before saying a high win/loss ration in the current situation proves you have skill.

Maybe you should read before responding. The ratio emphasis is to get rid of the grinding people are doing, which iv said twice now. 270 286 48.56% That win loss 500+ games is nothing but a person who grinds hours and tries to score as high as possible.

I mean, seriously, read the algorithm. Maybe read the second post.

Dixo.3876:

The fact that you even bring up win ratio shows a lack of understanding of the nature of the system. Everyone should end up at around 50% win rate in a system with an infinite population of solo/team queue players across the skill spectrum.

There are two explanations for people with 100+ games played with 70%+ win rates. A) You started with a low MMR and you really are in the top 0.5% of players You’re spending a majority of your time queuing with other people.

-There is no GM on the top 50 on any ladder on sc2 below .500.
-There is no tier system of gw2 that will stop the top 3 on lb partying together from getting a team with super low mmr to the point that the match lasts 2 minutes long <— this happened twice in a row
-The current MM system cannot accurately judge skill with its heavy emphasis on points scored during a match.
-Let me put it this way there are players trying to grind the LB who disregard whether they win or lose trying to farm points during a match.
-The fact that I get so bored during some matches because I’m actually taking time to remember to let the other team score 100 before we win, is a thought that should never enter my head.

Hello I am Thee Faux, I am currently rank 2 on the LB. I would like to express my ideas on how to improve the current pvp system for next season, along with my opinions on the current test season. Before I start, I am by no means the 2nd best player on NA, I am not an Elitest or a top level pvper. I farmed this ladder with a turret engi and last season to 66 with a condi ranger.
The most common complaint about the LB right now, is that people think it is a “grind”, that its just the people who play the most. There are a couple of cases where this is true. Looking at the top 25, there are 4 players with win rates of below .50%, rank 5. 48.25%, rank 10. 47.55%, rank 12. 45.83%, rank 16. 46.26%, rank 18. 49.08%. Not only is this a huge misrepresentation of what a top player is, its a slap in the face to rank 17 Mykasa Ackrman wins-211 losses-47 win%- 81.78%. My defense for the grindyish system other than those cases is casual players should be rewarded for playing alot of games, just not the the extent they currently are.
Things that need to change
-Greater emphasis on win loss ratio
-Less emphasis on points scored durring a match
Problems with ranked queue. Casual Soloqueurs hate fighting premades, somone..somewhere is complaining about it at this very moment. Throwing a randomly made up percentage out there I would guestamate 95% of regular pvpers hate that there is no divide between solo and team queue anymore. My personal opinion on the matter is..its tolerable. In the perfect world where the pvp community gets what they want Areanet would steal Leauge of Legends ranked system. Where theres the old team queue of -=5=-!!! and soloqueue would become Normal Ranked where parties could not exceed more than 2 members. Please dont dismiss everything I just said because I mentioned LoL, I don’t even play.
Since I mentioned I played turret engi I will comment on AI and the state of the current Meta. Why do I play turrets? Because I want the Glorious Hero’s shoulders and arm piece. Do I think they are over powered? Meh. There is very little skill to the build. Some of you might look at that last sentence and say “very little” is an oversatement. LISTEN HERE BLU42. Turret AI doesnt carry me in matches, I CARRY THE TURRETS. Jk nerf turrets pls. Also SLIGHTLY nerf Cele. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Things-must-happen-to-balance-PvP
I completely agree with everything Ana Banana has to say.
