You should be able to intuitively feel how well you are doing in a given game or with a certain prof.

Sure number can help you min max, but this style of SPvP is more about placement and skill and correct ability usage than maxing that extra 200 DPS out.

so your saying i should have to count my damage? yeah ill just go back to WoW or ToR. Dont make such black and white responses. Damage meters would be a very strong addition to min maxing builds, and telling which classes are OP/UP

No I didnt say that, do you know what intuition even means? Not sure why you would mention WoW as an example considering WoW is the perfect example of why min maxing and damage meters can take the fun out a game for some people.

Damage meters are nice for PvE, yes I agree but in this style of PvP it’s nigh useless considering one Rangers LB Barrage will completley skew results compared to a SB single target Ranger. Total damage is a useless stat and always has been.

PvP dps is also incredibly variable and unsustained it is only marginally useful to the point there are a lot more important things that ANet can implement before damage meters for SPvP.

I’m sorry if this is still to black and white for you.

Or remove the PvE and fix some pointless underwater skills and everyone’s happy!

I wont be happy, I quite enjoy the ruins. There are other people as well. Just be happy it’s not in TPvP.

alcopaul.2156:

i say buff the sharks so no one will capture the ruins. so its 2 base capture only.

Ill still go there, sit in the ruins with my harpoon and tro-lololol the match away.

buttski.6135:

should’ve taken a screen with 8 engis in the match. your exapmle is far from being respresentative. lol at playing 2 hours pvp.

i smell a hidden thief whine.

The lack of any proof shows that his whole post is probably untrue and that you are right about the hidden thief whine.

Btw, maybe people are not playing Engineer and Elementalist because they are just not popular class concepts. Engineers are not underpowered and Elementalist are probably a bit underpower but both can be played well and can really cause devastation.

Go join another thread about it or maybe just go capture another point, you have two others to choose from and let someone else deal with the ruins.

Orrrrrr you could realise that winning hotjoin isn’t a big bonus to end glory so it doesn’t really matter if you don’t capture Ruins because you can stay out of the water the whole game and still earn decent glory.

Can’t believe this thread got derailed so hard so fast.

Yes, as shukran said, everything should be locked down as soon as you enter. They had this same problem in the beginning of gw1 and only fixed it when people began abusing it. Which is probably going to happen all over again.

So if I enter with MH Axe and OH Warhorn on accident, im stuck with that for the match? I’m probably strawmanning a bit here.

Complete shut down of a build in all it’s aspects at the start of a tourney match will not improve the match. Certain builds will rise that everyone will play because no one wants to risk the chance of losing due to trying something else out. All a complete lock or block or whatever at entry will cause the PvP to go stale.

Of course this is a much better complaint thread compared to HS OP or HB OP.

Shukran.4851:

weapons, armors, signets, utility, traits. all should be blocked when u start tourney.
if you want to make an e-sport.

Yeah and all LoL ranked games you shouldn’t be able to use Runes and Masteries if they want to make that an e-sport.

Jesus.

I see no issue with weapon swapping. <3 my warhorn buff. Weapon swapping gives a nice range and diversity to combat. Taking it away would be incredibly detrimental to the fun factor.

You can do free tourny together. Go to the tourny master, click Free Tournament → Create Roster → Invite Party → Submit, it will then queue you up.

You don’t need a full team of 5 to queue for TPvP.

You shouldn’t be to phased though, playing against friends who you have direct communication with is one of the better ways to learn class counters and improve your overall skill. It is also all of fun being able to actually call your opponent a scrub knowing they are listening.

ConterK.3972:

test it on tourneys??? they’r free anyways u know? lol

Pretty accurate response right here.

1000 kills is a consequence of what I do in the map, I never search for kills.

The major problem I thing is the items, I never receive a rare item from the WvW.

Buy a magic find booster.

How big is a medium sized guild that you guys are thinking about?

Just for an example of how you can make a difference, you can take supply camps, NPC camps, take out dolyaks, with 2-3 people. With some luck you can even take a tower down with 7-10. Sure you cant go and siege that keep or castle with less than 40, because you just shouldnt be able to. WvW would have none of its fun siege and assault gameplay if you could just take a keep down with you and a friend.

Im a ranger and I almost never have outstanding issues with thieves. Do I need a nerf?

I love minion necro, target the necro. Hit ctrl+t, ever lose target hit t, then ignore the minions and kill him. Similar concept with Mesmers just dont stand near the illusions. If you focus it all becomes really easy. You should try playing with 23 avg FPS, hahaha.

What I have noticed a lot of rangers doing, is when a thief uses Dagger Storm the ranger will keep attacking them, sometimes with QZ popped. This will kill you as Dagger Storm not only does decent damage it will reflect all projectiles. You need to learn how to spot this skill.

My personal way of dealing with thieves and I feel that this suits my playstyle quite well but would not a popular or easy way to do so. Judge the stealth, entangle when roots pop up, burning trap, stand in trap but out of melee range, pop QZ then go nato with all SB skills. If they get out of roots, quickly stun them with Para Venom from a spider pet.

This is my goto strategy and has a better success rate than failure rate.

I am starting to feel that a lot of people just don’t realise that not everyone can come first.

Mesmers are not really all that hard, you just need to persist and never shy from them. Just keep forcing yourself to play against them, create one as an alt, learn the ins and outs of them and you will find that you will destroy them without much of an issue.

Getting them downed isn’t hard but getting them defeated is where the real skill comes to play,kittenMesmers!

I have never had this zergfest issue. If you play smart and get good you don’t need to stick with the group. It is actually possible to win 2v1’s and easily win 1v1’s. Just because you are repetively dying is not the games fault because I can assure you that there are people on the same server as you who are doing well.

Get good, start carrying, have some patience and you will start to realise that it is actually a lot of fun.

Love this map, Warhorn at the start, rush to ruins, camp with a harpoon gun. Easy points. Don’t PvP underwate with a melee weapon, you will lose.
