I approve of this message. After all, if you constantly get salty whispers I think you are doing something right….

The only whispers we send are replies if they whisper first, our ele doesnt even know how to send them whispers first , go figure.

Dear OP

+1

Pretty cool ideas , only applicable if other professions (warrior, necro mainly ) would get toned down as well (as heavily as you’re suggesting for Thief).
I think that even though d/d would be boring , i’d love to see some good p/p – s/p builds in a competitive scenario.

Are those nerfs to SR,BP and to the Trickery line really necessary though?

This is bloodbird.9386, thank you for listening. I have read so many posts on forums, but I could not respond because I was banned for over criticizing A-Net PVP developers, but when you come from Guild Wars 1 Background you don’t expect anything less than GW1 content. To be honest, I was really disappointed because the game has no Purpose or a goal in PVP!!! Even for the best FTP games like League of Legends it gets boring after sometime if you are not in a guild or a ladder, the reason why people love it because after some time you want to know who is Number#1 who is the best! Which guild is the best guild in LoL or in the sever (North America, Europe West, Europe East etc), Mosco5 for example, and of course the rewards of 5Million$ for the winner.

I have seen a review for Elder Scrolls Online, its bit boring game play, however they have the Concept of Mega Server. This is pretty much the only reason am going to buy this game, if anyone plays the game, I can play with him. I just love this idea, they breaking away from the boring segregation of servers.

Now lets assume I have joined Anet team as the new head of PVP (Of course so that you can see my vision, I know you understand better than I do) and am told that we don’t have enough resources to build new maps and we need some changes very quick by the board of directors, i would first do the following:

1- Guild Vs Guild

8 vs 8 OR (for the time being 5 vs 5 to prevent Q-Over load, 5 members of the same guild should be enough to represent the guild, and 3 pugs or tryouts no problem, once there are enough members in Guild vs Guild Q, the stand down in guild is disabled untill the Q is disbanded.

The GvG is 1 vs 1, depends on the wins not losses, the losses should not be counted on the ladder only the wins should count, whoever wins more, is number #1 for the month and then again ladder reset, i dont know reset every 3 month or 1 month or a week. but the Q for example should detect highest wins guilds and match it vs something close or of similar wins, i prefer the ladder is in game in a GvG ranking tab, you see which guild is of more wins in NA and how many wins they have. the ladder keeps changing or updated every hour, and you can observe the GvG live or recorded.

2- GvG rewards

For every member who praticipated in GvG and who got a win should get a GvG token ,regardless of which guild he represented, the guild gets the ranking and the player gets those tokens, its something like Laurels, now if he wins lets say 100 GvG tokens he can buy an epic sword/Shield/Mace/Gear piece with it. it should be only be execlusive for the players who participated in GvG.

Also that makes sure that all the players whenver they repping a guild, they make sure they do their best to get those tokens.

All the items can be purchased with the tokens only, not with glory, also GvG titles would be nice as well.

3- Guild Alliance and Country Flags

You may assume that everyone who plays Guild Wars 2 are from North America, but many players are not from America, i have seen players from China, Korea, Japan, ME, Brazil thats on NA, of course you have Europe etc. Now the first thing i want to implement is that if you join a guild or represent a guild it has a “Flag Option” only the guild leader can chose it which can be displayed like Anet Symbol under the name, which shows where this guild is from in at least in “Guild Vs Guild” battle only! Guild “XS” US vs “XS2” Korea. This may sound trivial, but many people would love this (Am only assuming).

4- Mega Server for GvG battles.

This could be implemented down the line, instead of only best NA guilds and Europe Guilds you can have Europe Server guilds vs American Server guilds and they are updated in the same ladder.

5- Fast GvG implementation for conquest.

For the time being we can implement this on the conquest grounds, random map 5 vs 5, game is finished update ladder, players get tokens , gg.

6- Display of Guild Name, Guild rank and guild country before the game starts, the guild leader can chose to surrender before the game starts. but no one wins anything.

7- Guild officers can arrange GvG battles too, no two guilds can be matched, but the more of guild members who participate in GvG, the moer wins the guild gets.

Beside GvG:

1- Glory can buy you epic weapon set, some weapons can only be purchased with glory and weapons to be purchased with gems, but some of them exclusively with glory

2- The ammy points system instead of chosing the ammy, let the players adjust it how they want.

Bump because devs have to read this.

Because COMEBACKS

Same for me , been lagging all the summer, then it seemed fixed but started again after 15/10 patch. I pvp only.

Ranger, Engi and Mesmer

a t s e.9614:

Well , I guess i’ll go back to D\P perma stealth troll build then .

Heh, NO.

Shadow Arts V – Infusion of Shadow – This trait functionality has been changed to “Gain initiative when you enter stealth.” 2 init.

so sad

[Feedback/Suggestion]

Since you are going to nerf 10/30/30/0/0 to death and s/d too, I think it would be nice to bring 3s revealed back to pvp so that some thieves that loved playing condi could do it again.

Nix.3152:

heal signet!! zerker stance!! no nefrs?? ………….. but ye nerf engi’s vigor – gg ((

Even though it’s somethingthat bothers me a lot, i think it was necessary. No one should be able to gain a boon like vigor w/o a cooldown.

The first decent patch in months.

Keep up the good work!

PvP Glory and Rank rewards have been revised. Personal score no longer grants rank. Instead, there are now flat bonuses for playing and winning games. Games lasting less than 7 minutes will have proportionally downscaled rewards.

Won the game, which lasted more than 7 minutes. I’d expect at least to gain my full score lmao

To any dev who is online and willing to explain this to me: Am i missing something here? Because this makes no sense O….O

The meta hasn ’t changed . Warriors got buffed. Eles waited 4 months for nothing BUT HEY , new conjured weapons!

I truly hope they messed up that 10 seconds line and it is still 3 .

bumpin like there’s no tomorrow

JTan.1687:

This what happen when you farm your rank

+1 made me laugh irl

Evan Lesh.3295:

The patch notes are missing, but glory and rank points are awarded at the end of the match now. This means no more rejoining to reset your glory cap. This still is not all the changes we’ll make. More to come later.

Do you mean that you actually have to reach the score limit to get glory?

Or just a “generic” end of the game? (Like /gameend)

So you can kill people w/o effort nor skills

Ign : Mintissi/Hyperiel

My net has been doing very bad lately so im searching for a guild to hotjoin(mostly for the lulz) and go for some tournaments when i’m not lagging like a goat q.q

Im a rank 51 and i have a good knowledge of every profession, i play mostly thief,mesmer and engi.

/ty for your time

XselectX.9026:

Tbh this guys sounds like a hotjoin hero based off the claim that he made about having the second most tournis played NA thats is not possible to calculate. the ladder does not tell you how many tournis played/won befor the ladder came out and i was rank 40 by the time ladder even came out. Another suggestion to marvin 300+ per champ means nothing at all but that uve wanted to get the title for every class in the game aka hotjoin hero and 300 games is kitten and means nothing. try 1-2 classes its good to know all classes but not good play all so much see as you needed that time to correctly learn your main. once you have 1500+ tournis then u have effectively learned that class.

Troll in the dungeon

+1 about everything, OP.

Great Thread.

After 100% you get to the top1000.

Why would you ever get that mad for a game.

Inb4 ban

Lol who cares?

Bad players will always be bad, and good players will always be good.

Rank means nothing.

The big patch is coming in 2 weeks.

Happy anyway for the small spirits nerf. Hopefully more will come

Does the leaderboard give you any bonus/item ? Why does people care so much about it lol… Just enjoy tpvp/spvp

Because anet hates pvpers :C

Is it just me or ?

It looks like its the worst lag i’eve ever experienced in spvp.

sad

How do you unlock them

Just a simple question if anybody knows the answer, When will we be able to buy the new skins? Will they be avaiable through the gem store?

Thanks in advance

parisnicholson.3684:

I’ve been running regen Mesmer for a few months now and can shed some light on the subject for you

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgUQNAW8dl4z6pnUzhGbNJhJF9G5neA9l7kittenfA3A-jgyAIOBZqBANAmKBlFTWecQs1tioxqmTseWQVZjFEAyA-e

Basically youve got 100% regeneration uptime usually around 20-30s but sometimes as high as 55s.
Believe it or not his is your main source of survivability, and regeneration will also proc Protection every 10s for added durability. The way healing power scales with regeneration and lower vitality means every tick of regen is healing you for a surprisingly decent amount. Meanwhile youll be summoning phantasms for more regen as well as damage output through retaliation and bleeds. Use LoS with your phantasmal warden to reflect projectiles and to keep regeneration up. With iDefender, iWarden and iWarlock all up at once you become extremely difficult to take down.

Mantra of Recovery is key with this build. When you channel it initially, you heal yourself and up to 5 allies around you for ~3,000 (Restorative Mantras), grant yourself and 5 allies 10s regen (Dwayna Runes). After that youve got 2 more instant-cast self-heals for ~3,100, more AoE regen and 2 instant condition removals (Mender’s Purity). This is all on a quick 10s CD so you’ll be healing everyone often. The initial AoE heal is great when youre solo as you can heal your phantasms to maximize their effectiveness. It synergizes very well with iDefender who with Signet of Illusions adds a large chunk to your health-pool without negatively scaling regeneration.

Mimic is the trolliest skill mesmers have (except portals) and yet I’ve found its rather unpopular. How it works is you channel it for 4 seconds, and within this time if you are hit with a projectile, you will absorb it to spew out later (super entertaining when you absorb something useful or flashy). If you are able to catch a projectile, the skill becomes a block for the rest of the channeling time which is great for safely running through zergs because during your 4s block youll be healing with regen and can simultaneously pop your 2 instant-cast heals (assuming theyve been channeled). 25s cooldown on this paired with your focus skills gives you an almost perfect defense against ranged attackers. Melee attackers get punished with retaliation/bleeds and unless youre greatly outnumbered, you wont fall below 50% health very often.

Pros:

-100% regen uptime
-AoE heals/regen
-High survivability
-Condition removal on low CD
-Ranged and melee defense
-Team support

Cons:

-Lackluster mobility (focus 4 is all you’ve got)
-Not ideal for running with a Zerg
-Lower damage output

Give it a shot in sPvP and see how you like it!

Ps I just word-vomited all of this out so if I didn’t explain something clearly just ask!

How do you apply conditions? i don’t see the point in using apothecary.
Do you rely on Staff’s auto and F2 Shatter only?

confused

Just Curious, Does anybody know a viable scepter/torch-staff confusion build for hotjoins or tournaments?

Thanks in advance.

900Hours thief here.

I did solo to 55 in pve, then joined wvw to 70 and made the last levels With cooking.
I’ve Tried every class , but the most entertaining and fun is idd the thief. Every other class will be destroyed of you play your thief properly.

OP, you should definitely make a thief.

PS: Take my words as a wvw/pvp point of view. i never pve, i hate it.And btw, gz for the mesmer as well, another great profession.

It is a nonstealth build. I think its very effective in the chaos of a spvp fight but very poor in wvw( especially against multiple targets)

Thats just my opinion , you may find someone that uses it succesfully, but it’ll never be as good as a stealth build (in wvw).

DanH.5879:

i think that guy should be banned forever because of him we are so bad now in pve
so many www trolls ruined us

Yea lets ban all the skilled players so pve can be safe
