dota 2 is dota1 full HD why? because dota1 players wanted it to be that way.
gw1 players came to gw2 because of the previous game. sadly gw2 is not gw1 full HD and a lot of players are disappointed about it. and a lot of gw1 playerbase would like to play again gw1 GvG.
it is only a anet fault. nothing more, nothing less.
There are few to any hardcore PvP’ers in GW2 atm…
There are only kittening 3~ hardcore premades…
A game near 3 months after release, made to be an e-sport.. yet in all of NA there are only roughly 3 kittening hardcore premades…
The game has allot more wrong with it than just not being an updated version of GW1. They tried to make a whole new system, reinvent the wheel if you will, and just got completely backlogged in kitten to handle… released way too early if you ask me… the whole PvP setup/system still needs allot of working out.
I know a few people who played GW1 PvP religiously… yet can’t say the same about this game… those people actually rarely even touch GW2… at best for the PvE…
GW1 had a proper ladder/matchmaking system from the box. Where is this now?
Who are we kidding Anet? PvP in GW2 is second rated compared to PvE. PvPers go should and will go back to PvP Games which GW2 is not.
I think conquest is a laugh in our face. It’s not a good mode for MMO PvP in my opinion.
From What I have seen, most group fights end up in spamming AOE damage and Heals and hope you have bigger numbers than your opponent.
Nope, maybe on low level – but in paid tournaments, you actually play more on all 3 points and therefore you do have split all the time and small fights 1v1 and 2v2. if there is a fight bigger then 2v2 or 3v3 then it usually mean that one team is more superior and is able to lock you at respawn or on one point.
Bottom line, give us our core elements They only have 1 month left, or they will break their second promise. And I doubt a lot of players can take that.
what was the second promise? i probably missed that one? well.. i guess the first is “when is ready” ??
The “second promise” would be that they’ve said they will be having the e-sports elements of the game out by the end of the year.
Dota 2 still lacks a ladder interface. All ladders are good for is to stroke one’s ego. MM systems however, are different.
The problem that I am noticing is that people keep comparing GW2 to DOTA2/LoL and Smite. This comparison is rubbish. Those 3 moba games don’t have a PVE component so the companies for those games are 100% focused on delivering the best PvP they can.
In GW2 PvE is more important for Anet in my opinion. ( Look at the magnitude of the patches)
This is a known bug and it is needless to spam this screenshot all over the forums.
Thief burst provides higher damage than a warrior’s burst.
In shorter time, I also find that warrior’s burst is very easy to dodge while thief is much trickier. The off set to this is that warriors have higher HP and Armor and usually carry a shield in off hand.
With that said thief short bow is another powerful weapon in my opinion. No class can spam 3-5k aoe constantly. ( I think)
I don’t have a problem with 8v8. And I will agree with “don’t like it, don’t do it” part. I do sometimes find it amusing after I am doing with tournies.
0.5 sec is too short? Have you ever played an HA pd mez in gw1? A good pd mez can see a 0.5 sec cast skill, cast pd (That is istant)…and interrupt that skill…all before the 0.5 cast time passed
In this video, the interrupter is standing and waiting for skills he knows will be cast. In fact, NOTHING is happening except a demonstration of interrupts. The skills are 0.5 seconds, and even though he is waiting for it he just barely makes it happen with an instant cast skill.
So, to relate that to this situation:
Instead of knowing this is about to happen and interrupting the skill within 5 seconds, we have to spontaneously react with a stunbreak AND a dodge or other invulnerability skill or something.
The result of the failure in your video example is that the skill gets cast.
The result of the failure in this situation is death of your character.
Seriously, you don’t see that as a problem? I’m not saying people can’t react quickly… I can hit the brakes in my car within that time frame without a problem. I’m also not saying that people should have 2 or more seconds to react to this, because that would effectively neuter thieves.
I think what we are saying is that this is an awfully short time frame to determine the life or death of a character, when the rest of the game is built around longer fights.
We aren’t talking about a single interrupt while you are COOPERATING with the spell-caster and WATCHING his health bar for a casting animation. Instead we are talking about something that happens from stealth, from distance, and is followed by more stealth and potentially more of the same burst – OR a complete and effective escape which nullifies any inherit risk.
Besides, ANet has said they are actively looking into this at the moment and plan to nerf the burst in favor for some other kind of buff. They can see the issue here, why can’t you?
That video is a bad example.
The monk is having arcane corundum cast on him, which if memory serves me right slows down spells.
In my opinion the portals need a drastic change in tPvP. It is too powerful to ‘exploit’. I see portals as a way to trivialize strategy by being able to bounce between points. I know it is a strategy within itself to use portal to travel, but it is too much. I would go as suggest to remove portal from pvp until an idea of how it can be changed is out.
Or simply make portal in pvp to have much less distance.
This game already has no time invested crap in pvp…are yall really going to complain if a team that plays 10x more than you has 10 more points. Will the whinning ever stop /wrist
Of we will whine about something like this. It is logical that the better teams (aka Teams with best win to loss ratio) should be in the tournaments.
GW1 had a good ranking system. People spamming tournaments, even if they are bad is a not a good way to have leagues.
Down system is fine, you just need to get used to it. I lol so hard when people say that the downed state of the thief is good. Thief and Mesmer downed state are nothing special if you have a clue about what they do and what “aoe” means.
Warrior, Necromancer and Guardian have really strong down state, but even they have their down sides. Learn to adapt to them and it won’t be a big deal.
All classes can be finished as soon as they are downed. Except for Thief and Mesmer.
Have condition removal, and don’t use it right away.
Let the thief caltrops
Let him Deathblossom 2-3times
Move out of Caltrops while using your condi removal.
This way the thief will have low initiative and won’t be able to do another quick 20 bleed stack. DO NOT try to hit a Deathblossiming thief, he/she will evade all attacks at the time.
You can also counter dodge the thief, but I would suggest keep the dodges for after your use your condition removal.
Mesmers have too many tricks up their sleeve compared to most classes too.
Because Mesmers are intentionally made to be an anti-player profession, just like in Gw1. Mesmers are inherently a PvP profession and therefore perform much lower in PvE. So if you think Mesmer are OP, its because it has always been a PvP class. In PvP Mesmers are working as intended.
EDIT: As for Thiefs I cannot say because I have not encountered them much in PvP. As far as I can tell, they have high ammounts of spike damage and devastating chains. Block/Evade skills dont help much because they’ll only negate one attack within a long chain of high damage attacks.
I’ve discussed this with my mates plenty of times. The problem I find with mesmers is that they are designed for messing with people. So from a class design perspective they are stronger. Again this is just my opinion.
Yes, Mesmers are an anti-player profession by design. You are correct. Thats why they suffer in casual PvE. Are they impossible to kill? No, just harder to kill 1v1. I believe you can counter them with timing and skill.
Indeed, maybe I might sounds like a kitten but I don’t give a rat’s kitten about pve. I bought GW2 for pvp.
My problem with mesmer being that if 2 equally skilled gamers fight each other 1 v 1 I would like for both of them to have a chance to win (mind this is impossible since no game can be 100% balanced) but as I see GW2 at the moment is that mesmers give out a lot in both 1 v 1 and they also work well with a group.

Can I get a list of videos of people beating mesmers in 1 v 1s. I am interested in seeing these so I can learn because I often find myself running away/losing versus a mesmer.
Without proof of combat I will just assume 99% of the people on forums are just simple forum warriors.
They only have 1 month left, or they will break their second promise. And I doubt a lot of players can take that.
