Guild Wars 2

^ climbing a 20 person ladder sounds fun

yeah dude, i’m gonna check in on the game on the 26th. hopefully it will be enough to bring back previous players too

Yeah, I’m pretty much done with this game too. I logged on the other day and saw like 20 people sitting in the mists ( so much for 3 million copies sold)

happy birthday!

This game is now officially titled Ele Wars 2. Another pug countered our 3 ele group with 5 eles today!! It was so fun getting tossed around like a pingpong ball

GW2 still has some potential.. they just have to execute it properly, it’s not the end yet.

As for Tera lol nobody has the time to grind 20 hours a day just to stay relevant in Pvp.

am i downloading gw3?

how big is this kittening patch? WASTE OF MY BANDWITH

I’ve had 2 warrior friends tell me they’re rerolling to dps gurd today

Why do you think they will nerf Firegrab? the radius is pathetic enough

Long live the EU META!!!

aaron.7850:

These are some good points, I love fighting people but I dislike spvp in GW2 because I feel detached from my character, I worked hard and fair to get my exotics and skins but all that goes away when I join the mists….

Which is why I prefer WvWvW.. but it still limits my options, I wish there were indeed battlegrounds where you play your ACTUAL character.

Or do you mean you get your kitten owned when you pvp against people with equal gear footing?

Remove Hotjoin
Replace with Custom Arenas

Matchmaking queue (solo/premade) for Free* tournaments
Normal games, NOT RANKED

Matchmaking queue (solo/premade) for Paid* tournaments
RANKED GAMES, to get dat 2800 elo

remove the requirement of 40 players to begin tournament, instead, do 1 team vs. 1 team for best out of 3 maps. SO SIMPLE ANET, fix your game or its gg

All I’m hearing is QQ from hotjoin pubstars

then people will cry about bunkers in hot join and how boring it is taking an hour to kill each other lol

Dsquaredcri.9421:

1 team vs 1 team could maybe be used as GVG also tournaments could…
Wait them implement a decent rating system, maybe later they can focused more on guilds ranking? Step by step guys.. i know 6 months are gone, but what else could we do? nothing

BTW if u guys wants solo q, go play FPS. You all totally wrong to play a mmorpg in solo q. Simply and painless

can’t tell you’re trolling or just simply and painless

Come on Anet get your priorities right, the game needs match making solo/premade q. Don’t make me sing My Heart Will Go On. Don’t make me do it.

My Heart Will Go On

Match-making bruh, we need solo q, duo q, 5 q

Yeah, I enjoy fighting thieves too because they usually have weed on them, so not only do I get to kick their kitten I also get a free bag of weed. win-win situat

Nah I’m just joking you’re a awesome top laner

No Phuc Yu

You ain’t wingsofdeathx

^ a solution to that is to have a mute button for each specific person, so if that person is raging mute him and continue with your pug

yes, add this so i can spam my indian music with HLTV

The problem is they they are thinking:

E-Sports Success -> Popular Game

They need to realize it goes the other way around

Popular Game -> E-Sports Success.

Yup but they don’t need to make it f2p to make it popular. Many games don’t.
They just need to generate more interest. Hell if there were custom arena’s people would probably of run their own tournaments by now. Not like Fighting game fans wait till Tekken is F2p, they’ll start interest themselves.

Son, to generate interest, there must be something that ATTRACTS interest loOoOol. Will a potential buyer look at Gw2 and say “HORRY SHET dis game has da custom arenas I must buy” It’s too late for that shet now, there are too many good games coming out in 2013, this bad boy must go f2p, at least the SPvp portion of it.

Gw2 should be the first MMOBARPG

Massively Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Role-Playing Game

Leggo

+1

Made the same suggestion in a post sometime weeks ago but it got buried with the rest of the shiz on this forum.

On a side note, Asian Pryde Mufffugas [APM] b’cause our APM is over 400 son

side note #2, EU hair meta is pretty strong

Valkyriez.6578:

I think he means a solo que for free/paid with a rating system, that would t face premades at all, just other solo qeu’ers.

I support, in addition to solo que for 2v2, 3v3 etc. let teams que against teams, and pugs against pugs.

No need for a 1v1 que with a rating. A duel option would be good tho. Not for balancing reasons, I just think 1v1 solo que’s are against team play, even if that team is as small as 2v2 teams.

I agree 1v1 qs are kitten what is this Starcraft?

I’m happy for you engi’s, I really am. This was like a miracle waiting to happen, finally somebody with a brain has crafted a functioning build for dps engis

In all honesty, what’s your Elo bro?

EU meta better watch out son

Tell me what you guys think of this build

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEEQJAoYhEmkbwxygjDAkHm4CLCFPYRRBOzA;ToAg0Cnoey8k4J7TunkPNGZ+B

Its more for hotjoin…still in water….but at least its a little different

Heres a early birthday present for you, the super secret ele build that I thought would never see the light of day.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhImKbkRzwjFAEFpgSoABTGd8hogFVBA;ToAg0Cno4ywlgLLXOukcNsYCB

no stun breaker?

Nahbro, no need

One month behind the meta, like the EU meta is supposed to be the real deal.

I liked the carebear part though, that kitten was hilarious

I think most of OPs points are clear and needed to be implemented into the game, idk what’s up with this guy lol

Asomal.6453:

Hey I’m famous! xD
I was bored in PVP, so I decided to test a new build. This one on the video is an incomplete version (didn’t have condition damage and healing) I’ve finished today. Current build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYEQNAsYVlUmyOXeS6E+5EB3Dma0m6p4rotTBWtKA;ToAg2Cro8xAjAG7MOfkzMCYuA

I’ve made it for sPVP and I got say it’s pretty decent to troll and have fun (interrupt + bleeding)
Btw, use C&D to go invi, but don’t break stealth. Just wait until C&D is over, and use it again and again (you can time it 0.5 seconds before it ends, so you don’t get revealed debuff).
But that’s it. I don’t really run it most of the time. I use this instead:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYEQNAqYVlUmaPHfS6E+5EB3Dm60m6p4rjtTBX1KA;ToAg2Croay0koJbTumkNNCYuA

I think being able to avoid the reveal debuff is already a broken mechanic, that was hilarious doe

Aquin.3192:

Hey! I recognize the name in that screenshot…

The only way I’m doing that dmg to you is if you let me go into stealth. That’s right I need to be close to you and hit you to go into stealth to kill you. If I miss that attack I’m in trouble.

Keep an eye out for the stealth hit inbound and dont let it happen and I’m out of luck.

Look at this Ackwin guy, just look at him. Why do I see you everwhere?? Or should I say… see you only every 3 seconds, OOOOOOO I’m good

Man I forgot Engineers even existed in this game, r3spexxx for playing it though

Ahh Vindictus, good times, my Lann was so kittening bad kitten ^^

A glass cannon hammer/axe;shield asuran warrior is your worst nightmare, provided that they are skilled at their profession, they will break your back and spit on you, IMO way scarier than any 100b warrior or BS thief.

Forgot to add that this is an awesome idea, but the major problem now is how can Anet attract more players into Structured PVP? Will a potential buyer look at GW2 and think “Oh em gee, it has a ranking system, I must buy” — Probably not.

To get anywhere near E-sports the game must have a big kitten population, some (not all) competitive players do not see the incentive to commit to a game when what it seems is to be a dying MMO. I THINK the only solution now is to go F2P, as horrible as that sounds (BRs inc), I don’t see any other way for the population to grow atm. Pardon my lack of hope for this game but don’t get me wrong I love gw2 and would love to see it become successful.

I’m surprised you didn’t troll them back, If I were you, I would’ve shadow refuged in spawn and gibbed the people dueling over and over again.

Anet needs to do something ASAP. The game in its current state is pathetic, no matter how good the pvp combat is. Structured PVP is not going anywhere when there’s an active population of less than couple hundred players.

@Anet, go F2P please, swallow your pride and do it, cause you know this kitten is fading

I don’t know about you guys, but that kitten looked bad kitten with the james bond music

95% of the people on this thread have no reading comprehension.

THIS IS A BUG

There is a bug with shatters that will cause big broken damage if you go in a certain order. People in the know are being hush-hush because they don’t want this widely known. Somebody posted what is going on a few times in this thread however.

Devs know about this and it will be fixed.

Is this a recent bug? Because mesmer still did pretty big damage even before the patch too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpE2k3ZN1vU

At least you can react to this, but its still pretty high on a 1700 toughness target.

He had all the time in the world to elixer S lol.. His fault for getting hit by the illusionary leap, immobilizing him.

correct me if i’m wrong, but it looks like he’s not using elixir S in his build, though it would have saved him.

he did pop a stun break (elixir R) but the mesmer perma stunned/dazed his kitten for the entire duration, he couldn’t even toss elixir R if he was trying to. now THAT kitten is op cause you would need 24 stun breaks to get out of his situation lmao.

edit: nvm, you can’t get out of the situation with stun breaks cause he was dazed and immobilized, so he basically had to sit there n eat his burst

if you really live in constant fear of being nerf, you should get your priorities right first.

How the hell are people whining about macros on mesmer?

Is it hard to Press Cry of Frustration -> Decoy -> Sword 2 -> MI -> Mind Wrack??

I get 200 apm in moba games. Guess I use macros!!!!!

Kewl apm bro, wanna post it again?

Jony.9041:

I am with danto on this one, this change will only benefit low rate pvp players that lack the skill to adapt to situations by changing weapons/utilities , games will simply become slow and boring, and most likely decided in the first battle , no comeback possibility, whoever got the counter build wins.
and who the hell would want to watch “esport” that is slow,boring, and decided in the first 2minutes?

Right.. it takes a god to recognize a kitten ton of AOE condi and double click to swap utilities, right.. I must be a god at pressing “4” for swiftness buff too

BlueprintLFE.2358:

Kylex.5962:

I agree and support this thread.
I can understand the points of taking utility switch away, but cmon anet…? weapon/amulet swap also?
your slowly making your game require no brain at all to play. nothing much to say on the matter as you guys do whatever you feel is best anyway (personally i see/saw nobody complaining about this but you ninja nerf it anyway)

Utilities NEED to be able to be swapped, that’s why they are called Utilities!! Skills used to adapt to a situation…

If you play a TPVP team that you haven’t played before and you find out they are all running conditions so what now you are just screwed no way to defend yourself? This would be ok if we had more than 3 utilities slots… So we could plan accordingly

Every person should have at least 1 stun break or condition cleanse equipped. If not, you are just further promoting a bunker/burst meta? How do you not understand this concept.

Lmao I don’t understand why some of you are so angry about this change, just because you can’t switch your utility and wpn to fit in a certain situation does not mean this will destroy any competitive game-play.

This just means that you are stuck with what you chose to use in the first place and use what you were dealt with.. Personally I think being able to switch utilities multiple times throughout a game is kitten and bad design, imo this further encourages teams to develop diverse builds with a purpose.
