WvW was a mass PvP game mod, now you have a dead game mod with 12 servers so… Even roaming is affected by dead servers, there was a time that i could play all the day if i want mass pvp or roaming, not anymore, now it’s just on reset and weekend prime time. Anet should work in servers limits and reduce servers (change all names) OR make something new like limiting WvW time and more exclusive rewards (not 24h anymore) OR some new idea.

We need to have “will” to play WvW too and this is something hard to recover, i love my server for years but it’s just gone, while you guys keep your mind of “leave alone my dead server!” there are other games on the market working their way to bring true mass and dynamic PvP, and i can guess what will happen in the future. To say even more, without WvW alive GW2 is just one more MMO in the market.

Not true actually. ANet knows this which is why they are focusing more on their PvE side of the game. GW2 is the only mainstream MMO I know of that has a personal story system. GW2 is the only mainstream MMO that I know of that really haven no gear grind. GW2 is the only truly casual MMO on the market that has the least amount of competitive options.

Isn’t ANet working on the next power creep expansion atm anyways. That’s how they get paid to do what they do. PvPers nor WvWers help ANet keep the game a float most don’t ever care about cosmetics and stuff like that. However the PvEers and the RPers will throw hundreds if not thousands of USD at ANet just to look the way they want.

GW2 is a very very ah…. special MMO in it’s own way, because of it’s PvE content. Here I recommend you all looking at this GW2 fan reviewer’s video.

Yes, i get your point, my last statement was kinda harsh “To say even more, without WvW alive GW2 is just one more MMO in the market.” But it’s just my opinion ATM.

“Not true actually. ANet knows this which is why they are focusing more on their PvE side of the game.”

I know, that’s why i’m having so much fun in the last years in this amazing dungeons that they’re are making, 10/10 really.

I play this game from day 1 or near it prob, of course i loved the PvE, it was special and amazing, but just to be clear, i loved the “core” not what it’s now, all maps was really good filled with story and secret places. I’m not going soo much into details because this is WvW forum, if i would complain how i think about the actual PvE state here it would take too much time in the wrong place, but i get you.

The matter is, for “me” and who loved WvW in the past, the only way to keep playing GW2 would be a better WvW, maybe like someone said “more polls to more changes”. But i’m not dellusional, i know Anet is putting all the efforts in the next xpac to recover their profit, and a better WvW could just be utopic right now, sadly.

My statement was not a lie as it was just IMO like all the posts here are. Opinions.
I know that PvE is more special to Anet and i think that anyone here can see it actually.

Now let’s think with reason for a moment, if you had done some research you would see that even being such “original” in some parts, still GW2 profits dropped really hard in the last months compared to most NCSoft games for N reasons, still not bad but… i’m not going to say names or graphics here because this would be unpolite from my part in GW2 forum, you can google it. While WvW is not Anet “golden eggs”, lose more ppls that actually spent money in the game is not really a good thing to do. There’s the part too that a lot of veteran players are bored without big changes and that was supposed to happen. I’ll still stick around and keep some hope for the future of this game if something else not catch my attention in the process, we never know what anet can bring us.

WvW was a mass PvP game mod, now you have a dead game mod with 12 servers so… Even roaming is affected by dead servers, there was a time that i could play all the day if i want mass pvp or roaming, not anymore, now it’s just on reset and weekend prime time.

Sadly there are some PvP players that played a lot last seasons and /quit this season too, i’m both pvp/pve and i think this system is a step in a right direction but right now it just have a terrible matchmaking with a non-sense reward (matchmaking seems worse than last seasons), playing you’ll always lose more points than winning and this make you go back even with 50% win ratio, keeping a positive rate of wins mostly is simple not enough to go up.

Win 70% or more of your games with a random matchmaking and still living out of NA or EU (more latency) to go up is just too much, win streaks don’t help too, it’s possible but not even near fun, so if you compare this sPvP with any competitive game Anet still have a lot of work to do, sadly Anet will never have popularity or money to bring servers to more locations like some big company’s in this competitive area, so even i who like PvP agree that the only thing that worths for most ppls are the shards. Just like me who got them and /quit. At least this season is not so bad as the last one.

Balance is getting better, still terrible, but a bit better.

You could see that something was going wrong when you logged into your character screen, and there? Mastery Rank, SPvP Rank and WvW Rank for you see them everyday! Now just ask for yourself, anytime in the past anet would do this? No, just after HoT, a prelude for the storm and their “new” vision. I know, boredom makes ppls crazy and it’s affecting me already.

Sure, the main reason why HOT was so dissapointing besides all the other problems is how Anet has just destroyed DG’s and then insert this crap system to fractals, with not even ONE new fractal, now more changes and no new fractal, i’m really starting to think what they’re doing with our money…

But i still have hope. (in the bottom of my heart lol)

Is it really that hard for ArenaNet to make a Megaserver channel list so that players can switch / leave empty maps and gather people without taxis? This has been asked many times before but remained unknown. Maybe someone should ask on reddit to get an answer..

cough Guild Wars 1 districts cough

You have won the internet, this is exactly what is needed!

+2

But really, Taxi Wars 2 in meta events who are timed are NOT fun, at least in SW you can go anytime, do it and leave, now you’re locked in a map for long events and still need to wait the “right” time to take a taxi, most ppls from our guild are moving out from the new maps too and dying of boredom. Anet will just buff rewards and try not the see that the problem is much bigger. But don’t worry, the game will not die as now it’s F2P and always have ppls who love grind to death! cheers

Playing better games is really a option OP, i’m actually having fun on them. Sadly GW2 is going downhill after the xpac, now they want to force everything in your throat and what remains is only the bad taste.

What other new games are you enjoying?

I bought a lot last black friday so i’m playing one by one (Zestiria ATM), i love J-RPG’s and visual novels =p some new titles too but not MMORPG. If we stay just in the genre GW2 still is one of the few options sigh, that’s why sometimes when i’m really tired i’ll take a break out of the genre and prob back to GW2.

I just hope that anet stop with the crapness and let the players do what they want to do, i just want to have fun and not farm sPvP like crazy cuz i have a division on my head or be locked 2+ hours on a map to do a meta event. sad face

Ok. Not about the damage, but the CC bar now is gone after 15 seconds even if you keep the breakbar, no CC… Before it was like 60 seconds, i can’t see the change in the notes, anyone can confirm? Bug or ninja change.

9/10.

The new maps are amazing and for sure will be even better after some updates, the new system actually is something for players bored like me to do. This rate “9” is for most ppls from our guild, they’re really enjoying the new content too. Idk about the fun after some weeks but i can say that i’m happy for what i paid.

I just don’t understand all the whining, why guild wars 2 players always want everything so easy and just press 1 is a mystery for me.

“All people want are balanced matchups. "

Just look what happened now in T2~T3. Thank you Anet for the balanced matchups!

In any decent PvP game that call itself of “e-sport” you can play Solo OR Team and have balance, like if you play for 4 months you’ll not fight who plays for 1 year. This is not a decent one for now, maybe after all the updates, just move to PvE or WvW if you really like the game and let this crap away.

Everytime now is a pug v team, at this moment not only me but more 2 friends are keeping distance from there, maybe a break from the game is a good idea too, it’s not like PvP in GW2 is good and the system still don’t help. That’s why the MOBA market always see us as a joke, hurts but it’s the true.

It was not bad at the start, lot of good matches, but now the ppls are staying far from pvp and like 75% of my matches are against high rank teams, playing with a friend atm but it’s not like two persons can win against five coordenated when your team is from most low MMR rank. It’s not a exclusive problem, as i can see most of the solo or duo players are facing more defeats now.

It’s becoming stressful to play sPvP again, if it was at least 2 1 1 1 v 3 2 of same MMR rank it would not be a problem, don’t care to lose some matches but to have my butt kicked against 5 high ranked MMR players most of the times, hm no.

Lots of fun last night, for the first time i feel the sPvP more enjoyable. The difference in the last updates is by far really notable, i know the balance system still is not 100% but it’s already far better than before. Keep the good work guys!

It’s possible to win teams sometimes, but really…
Random group, rank 10~30 against organized teams, all rank 80 is awful. Just think about the hard time of the new incoming players or any solo player, nobody will want to play this anymore this way, just the teams…

This! Maybe new weapons too like Two-Handed Axe and Spear. : 3

Berserker.
o__o

Heavy armor class, dual wielding Hammers, swords, greatswords, and maces.
Profession mechanic could be 5 seconds of increased attack speed and power, but with 15 – 20 seconds of 25 stacks incurable vulnerability.

Agree with all your points, i’m playing from first day till now, but…

“Getting nerfed every patch.”

Same for me and my friends, i not even updated the game till now. One reason, Anet prefer to destroy instead of create new things, no creativity, the devs who do this works are awful in it, the only thing in all the game that always make me go away is “BALANCE” paths, let me say on thing, there’s NO BALANCE in this BAD game, can you hear me devs?! Just destruction of every class till you have no fun anymore. Create new skills and new builds and not KITTEN skills and maybe your game will not be so bad anymore. I’m back to my old game for now.

Good bye and good luck to who stay here.

You can use it in any character, really worth.
Just bought it yesterday, so Anet, let’s make a pact! You guys create more cute clothes and i can buy more gems. =p
Let’s go, follow asia games model for skins, you guys can do it. Say NO to terribad skins lol

Not even 1 person in HoD BL for 20min, cool.

Oh god! Fix it in FA, full que and empty maps. Hell bugged.

The game lose the soul together with this massive zergs updates, you know what was a good update? Bazaar of Four Winds, the best one, why? Music, the creativity, the awesome area.

After read the notes i’ll not update for now. Play other things and wait more months, maybe things will be better after this boring LS, maybe not.

Rifle engi is my main too ( sd ), aw good times of roam around.
The damage is high and so fun, not a cool thing against a good tank. But still is fun when u see kitten faces like “wut happened, i died”.

The problem is, when Anet think in Balance they think about sPvP, not WvW. Balance exist in Roaming, not really in the Meta of WvW. Don’t even need to talk about the pve where is the biggest problem…

The first one, switch Speedykit for Hair Trigger and thats is what i’m using atm =p. Cleaning Formula 409 is the best thing ever for a HGH build in Rabid, i think u may want some cond duration too in runes instead of full might, in zerg u have guard empower and combos too, sigils are the same i use. But remember —> Rabid is better, but u can change anyway if u just want massive zergs…

This build is strong and hard to play, stack is around 20 might+, no conds, stability, hide, tough, vit, invuln. I prefer p/p for more burn as u just have incendiary powder in this build. In theory i ever hated to play without kits, but after some time, using well dodges and elixir at the “x” moment you’ll see how is amazing how much u can endure and how fast you can kill.

Great counter to conditionmancer too~

Die will happen sometimes in zergs, die in this build and be mad saying this is weak is a player problem, not build, just to remember.

They love FA. TC is not really doing it all the time, but SoS is happy in 3º i think.

I like rangers, the problem normally is the player, like " i’m don’t want to stack and i’ll stay back here with my tank bear rolf "

QQ more and enjoy

Bandwagon is bandwagon lol.
Anyway it’s fun how i can do so many bags now here in FA <3

“It’s time to nerf Engineers.”

Joke?!
The most nerfed class of the game and u say HGH is OP? You know how much p/p in engi was already nerfed? 100nades down..
I’m really in bad mood with the last updates, if they nerf it i’ll prob change game.

Respect is ever good, but for now…
This is war and i want TC blood after reset =)

Static Discharge rifle build still is the better direct dps build for engi as glass cannon, viable in wvw and open pve. I like TK, Rifle T and Goggles, this way u can use well the toolbelt skills and TK gonna be rly versatile for many situations, atm i love more p/s cond bomb build but sd rifle build is amazing also.

Really nice build for nades, however high cd, prob was better in the past but i don’t like nades in the present for direct damage. Direct damage? I rly think a 0/30/0/10/30, using static discharge for burst damage and vigor/adrenal is better in WvW.

Kit refinement – removed. What?!

Well, the engi is not the best DPS of the game, but is really good in “stay alive”, with a cond pistol build i can easily kill any class, even in x2 against 80 geared. The nerfs was really sad but is not the end of the world, if you know how to use the engi you’ll see how peoples die fast and u not. I think the biggest problem of the engii is between the chair and the monitor. Just saying.

Being “carried” in dungeons, really?
Idk why peoples cry so much about engi in dungeons, it’s not the best class but is really good, you can do a great DPS and still heal a lot, sometimes the group can simply tank spank bosses with just a engii heals, i save a lot of peoples in my group, even warriors going to the ground so fast. You can be a OP support in dungeons in heals and tank and do a good dps at same time, and for pvp with a good build, if you don’t kill easy, you doing it wrong.
