Guild Wars 2

Because it makes terrible players who were useless with dagger/pistol look good with it since it takes even less skill than hambow warrior as you can do so many mistakes and still come out alive with 1000000000000000000000000 million evades / shadow steps / dodges.

face a pistol whip thief on any class that is not engi, no matter how bad the thief is all you have to do is smash few buttons and you have perma evades / blind . the main problem is any1 with 1 brain cell can play it. I see many terrible players just spam pistol whip and killing. I though hammer warrior was bad since it was op and easy to play. Pistol whip is OP AND EASIER* to play than hambow.

This game has no bugs at all and ele is viable.

caed best mes WorlD

totally agree with Zym, he is the boss.

it won’t, it will just match u against random rank 10s pvers after 7 mins if no match is found

i dont even know why you ppl are talking about me, I am not even in cheese mode so what does me playing engi or war got to do with this lol?

Only team with 5 skilled players quit. Gl gw2 lol

The main problem is the heal, pistol whip is not as powerful with out the stupid short cooldown heal that on top of healing give u a dodge back which will fk any class

pistol whip is so stupid, even more stupid than the s/d at its best. This stupid build made so many terrible players who were nothing before look good.

So today in ESL in 2 different matches we had different players having lags. I also talked to other players and they also said in “SOME” matches they have 1-3 seconds skill delay and affects happening after few seconds. I am sure it’s happening to many others. It is not a specific map that it happens on. It just happens randomly in different maps. not all the time but just randomly spikes. This is not just me, i confirmed with 7 players who also experienced this issue which started yesterday.

Please fix it ASAP!

guy above me is a kitten. eitherway i guess i will just delete keep my chests who cares if they get removed, i would rather get my chests removed than open 3k chests for a stupid reward called Luck which i don’t give a … about.

There are many players like me, have every single armor skin / materials / dyes and still have 2k-3k unopened chests. So the question that most of us need an answer for.
What will happen to the chests after the update. Will they get removed? or just new rewards inside them? EEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW!

because they are useless.

Doesn’t matter how high ranked you are, if you are bad you still get matched with low ranked/ bad players, there are many rank 10-20s who are 2x better than rank 60s.
Skyhammer farm ftw?

A GIVEUP/RESIGN option just like gw1 !
If you are 4v5 you can just resign!
and if you care about lossing ranks/rating in leaderboard than you are definitely kittened because leaderboard means nothing atm.

GO register your guild now! Need more teams!

The advertising of such tournaments is so bad

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/events/ESL-BloodyTech-GvG-Tournament-17th-18th-Jan

Need more teams to register, very nice prices.

where did all the wvw guilds go? show yo balls and register!

Elementalist……………………..

dw you just need 1 tournament win to be in the top 1% in gw2 since 99% of gw2 players didn’t even try pvp.

the [VoTF] team from last 2 months was definetly the best guild in game. 5-1 vs VI and 5-0 vs GD is not something easy to achieve. However VoTF stopped playing gw2 and moved to another game now so i would prob say VI is the best eu team atm. As members of VoTF me and posi will carry the VoTF legacy in spvp though!
Best spvp comebackever?

I normally bang my head against the wall when I have bad players in my solo q team instead of flaming them :P

Also if your an engineer and ur getting facerolled by s/d thiefs than u should play another class because any good engi can faceroll a good s/d thief. the trick is to never get basi and thats easy, just use a dodge than if he didnt fall for it use n5 shield that way the thief will miss 99% of basi on u. after that you just kitten him with bombs, you can land ur grenade when they use their n3 skill as it is so easy to see the animation even vs asura

class: Engi
Worst enemy: Condi nec/ war

ClasS: hambow war
Worst enemy: Axe/sword / longbow warriors
Everything else is easy kill

No warriors? kitten i guess i can’t join

Yah please nerf ele, it can 1 shot the best mesmer in game enuf said!

you should stop whining and just play 5 warriors with berserker stance and sigil of stamina and lyssa rune and you’re good to go.

You should watch streams of team queue of top players, I can assure you that you will learn from them, there are many top players who stream. Also watching shoutcasts of matches between top teams in tournaments like ESL, you can see the viable builds/ rotations but yah you should def check this link
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/New-to-PvP-Start-here

Yes this bug is very annoying, it happens to me all the time, it also happens to my team mates.

GW2 Esport…………

LOL Caed stop carrying!
I find this problem less in the high brackets of Solo queue, I played 200 games, had only 2 match with 4v5 in these last 200 games i played on yolo queue.

Post videos of the best TPVP matches you’ve seen.
Matches that are close and put you on the edge of your seat!
I will start with few!

well it’s definitely not easy, engineer is 1 of the hardest class to master but you get used to it in time

for camera, I only have 1 command and it’s lookback command, rest i use my mouse to rotate.

New video is up- This 1 is about plays that may not be seen on stream when matches are shoutcasted but they are very important.

hello kitty online is esport. Let’s all play that amazin[ING] game

yeah, people should tell you what you’ve done wrong instead of telling you that you suck, I will post my second guide tommorrow or tuesday

I can try to make another video which only includes team fights / which targets to focus 1v1s and stuff like that

Thanks, I will make sure i mention the other classes for the next video. Will try to cover all points by the end of the 3rd video that i am working on

Well I bought 2 custom arena so yah i kittened up big time

for the next video, I will add rotations/tactics from actual high level games that i played vs [CM] and [shad] on foefire and will point out where the rotation went wrong/right to make it more fun to watch if that will help.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!

Now i will talk about when to kill svanir or chieftn, if you watch spvp streams of top players you would see, that most teams don’t actually go for these 2 mobs.
it is risky to kill these as it will mean you are outnumbered on the otherside. The best way to deal with this is to time it right, the best timing is just after you full wipe your enemy
at close / middle. as they are respawning you will have time to kill 1 of these mobs, but you have to ensure that you have a player keeping an eye on your close and another player keeping an
eye on middle.

Now, point defenders, for the love of god do not afk on your close point. by point defenders i mean classes that are good in 1v1 situations, if you have a player who is running
such build, best way is to let that player cap close, after capping close you must push far instantly, there will be 3 scenarios in this, the enemy capper would push your close,
if that does happen DO NOT FOLLOW HIM. Make sure you swap points iwth him rather than you defending your point, this is mainly because you can get decapped at your close and
than enemy team has 2 nodes. if the enemy capper goes to middle you can decap far, if your team is taking alot of pressure than you must leave it decapped and go help your team instantly,
otherwise full cap the point and make your way to middle that way you have 2 nodes and middle neutral. ofcourse there is always a risk in this as oyur team will be outnummbed for 15-20 scnds
or so but if you have a bunker setup than it shouldn’t be a problem.

Thiefs are great for decapping enemy nodes, if you do play thief always communicate with your team to count numbers, you can always push and decap undefended nodes,
but you have to make sure it is undefended otherwise you will get stuick with a 1v1.

Now to guardians, having a guardian who knows how to rotate with his team is very important, guardians must always be in team fights as they are great for support,
if the team fight is moving away form your guardian who is defending a point, that guardian must leave that point and rotate with a different player, guardians are also
great at keeping a point decapped for sometimes in a 1v2 situations.

Now pushing far at the start, this opener is only affective if you have 1-2 classes that can dissengage from far if they are out numbered, mainly warrior and thief. if you push far
and you are outnumbered on this map than you are making a bad move, and you have to dissengage to middle, if its a 2v2 than ofcourse you can stay at far and keep it decapped.

Even if you have 5 good players who are skilled individually,
they will still loss if they can’t rotate and communicate properly. So i will start with opening, most new and even experienced players will always be arguing about what to send to close and what to send to mid and far. It is very simple, it all depends on your team setup. i will talk about some of the openers. So lets
start with forest, again it all depends on your team setup. most good setups will have a roamer mainly a thief, a guardian and 3 other classes.
if you do run such setup, the best way is to have
1 player capping close, 1 guardian middle, however the best way for a guardian to go to middle is from beach, incase a team is pushing a guardian will not be bursted down easily, and so this way the guardian can see if the enemy team is pushing your close. that guardian must also autoattack with staff, if he gets in combat while autoattacking it will mean the enemy is pushing in stealth.
That way the guardian can tell the rest of the team how many players are pushing, but you need to remember that this doesn’t always work as enemy players can stealth
to your close point this can be done by blasting smoking fields and other stealth skills. as most guardians run staff, the best way to detect enemy players pushing is to drop a symbol and
and autoattack with staff
which
will get you in combat and if you do get in combat you would know that the enemy is pushing in stealth.That way you can communicate with your team and tell them that enemy team is pushing in stealth

So to continue with the opener, 1 close 1 middle, now the 3 other players in your team, if you have a team fight focused setup, best way for the 3 players is to push to middle from the back
if you have a bursty setup you can also kill svanir/ chieften on your way but that can be risky. having 3 players push from the back would mean the enemy team would need to adjust
if they have 1 player at the back he is basicly toast. you would also have advantage as your range such as necro is casting freely on high ground.
if the enemy team pushes your close
with 1 player
you should react to it by sending 1 extra player to kill it that way you can snowball middle, if they send 2 you should send 2 back, just make sure you outnumber your enemy at
close at the start while your guardian is tanking middle. sometimes teams will push with more than
1 player and it might actually be that both of these 2 players that pushes your close are bunker, if that
does happen, best way to react to it is to keep your most tanky player at close while having 4 players kill the
2 players in middle that way you can secure middle, after securing middle you can collaps on these 2 bunkers
and eventually kill them both which will leave you with 2 nodes.

I’ve actually wrote everything on a notepad before making the video to make sure i cover all the points i was thinking off, here are the notes, sorry about the grammer and spelling, it was just a rough notes, i edited my post with these notes

Also about the engineer bunker, I am not sure if i explained it good enough in the video.
But like said in the video if 1 pushes your close you kill it with 2 players , if 2 pushes your close you kill it with 3 players, unless they push with 2 bunkers, that way you can push 4 to middle, leave 1 to bunker close point and win the middle really fast with 4 damagers as the enemy will only have 2 players in middle and these 2 will not be bunkers. from that point you can easily snowball close after winning middle, hope that clears it.

Will make sure to include these points as well as many other points in the foefire guide, thanks for the feedback! meta still evolving so i will wait till monday to make the foefire guide so It can be more helpful.

Thanks everyone, I will make a guide for foefire and khylo once I finish my exam this week. I will try to point out as many scenarios/ splits as I can and how to counter them.

Glad to know it’s helping

haha good to know

Hey, I saw some posts for people who need help with team rotation few weeks ago so I decided to make team rotation guide on forest of niflhel.

I might make one for foefire / khylo depending on the feedback.

I am the tactic caller and leader of Car Crash so this is not a random guide

feel free to share any feedback on the video

I Posted written guide below as reply, had trouble adding it to the original post. It was a rough copy from notepad but its still readable
