Guild Wars 2

GankSinatra.2653:

Probably havent played WoW in over 2 years.

But what i remember from playing a resto shaman, WoW is about ten times as twitchy and fast paced. Absorbing a <1.5 second cast poly with a totem while keeping an eye on your teammates and enemies because a missed second will put you too far back in healing, an interrupt that is up every 4 seconds and must be used fully or the game is lost, i havent seen this kind of quick reaction being that necessary 99% of the time here.

Sure the balance was worse, build diversity and even class diversity made this game look like sandbox game, but man i would have to say it was more enjoyable…and more skill based.

If you came up to me a year ago and said what i just did i’d laugh at your face, but…

It’s just that! right that

Basically he said some pve players find it dificult to play elementalist or engineer because they have more skills, so they don’t want to add more skills to ranger. He also says this pve players, don’t properly use attunement swap because they stay in an attunement and spam (like they are in fire attunement to do damage and they only change water to heal).

The important point here is they don’t change things because of the PvE consequences. And this point is totally valid to leave gw2 if you only PvP like lots of players (not enough tho to dedicate resourse to us).

It’s so disgusting… again they balance things on PvP thinking on PvE.

And what happens is they kill the pvp even more.

The profesion I’ve enjoyed most is elementalist and I haven’t played for a month since with this condi meta it’s not fun.

I have no words…

First of all, I HATE you, now I’ll have to watch the wire again

So, like all you said but, there is a thing I really disagree. Arena modes, DM, it’s only that. I mean, a moba is a moba, and lot’s of people like mobas. If you compare to cod planting the bom, they allso have DM and that is what a lot of us are asking.

Playing 5v5 conquest requires a 5 person team, timetables, maybe a sixth person just in case…

If we have DM arenas 2v2 or 3v3 is much easier to play them any time and with ratings and some reward you don’t need any secondary objective, just play, get better, do quick games btw, and claim the rating ladder.

C ya!

Have to say that a 3v3 team deathmatch would get my kitten back to gw2. Allso would bring back a large number of people who buyed the game just to try.

Actually I’m like r150 or something like that. Normally in the games I play, the other people is also like r100 – r200. But I remember a game I played versus 4 or 5 people of r1 – r15 in the opposite team. Very suspicious they were together….

Solo q is very fun, but with this kitten and the leavers thing, it’s horrible!

flo.2048:

Mist leagues rules… I’m not sure that everyone really read it.

By the way, both team diserved to win. 5 Great games.

Rules are clear. Problem is TO changing rules at mid of the tournament. For most of us, feels unfair. I really don’t care much who goes to Pax, since both teams deserve it. But I do care to play an esport game were TO change rules like this. It feels really discouraging.

Congrats for both teams, games were really nice!

Congrats on the 5k viewers on twitch (5k on gw2).

And lastly, congrats to the TO. Just want to say, please, don’t change rules mid tournament. TO has to adress teams play okay with the rules, not change them. We will never know what could have happen, and now it’s to late, but next time just respect the own rules you made.

Cheers all.

Good luck all! Another little big step for gw2 on e-sport!

Keep it up!

Hey maybe your ingame skills are good but stopped watching after first minut.
For next video I think you need:
- better editing.
- better resolution
- you vs 1 or more opponents (3 or 4 of you zerging arround in hot join is not that interesting).
- Game sound is to loud and music to low.

Of course it’s only my opinion but normally people say they like my videos.

Warrior has a trait that movility skills break immobilize. It would be interesting to see a another trait, or this same one, that gives stability for a couple of seconds of using a charge ability.

This could bring a new type of warrior, a really movile one that would be a pain in the kitten

Actually I thought spectator and CA’s weren’t a priority but now I see the important they are for the community.

Last night we got as many views as arenanet streams xD

Don’t know what spanish, french and german communitys would think of this.

I think there are several french and german servers, so they could be at one mist, but we, spanish players, we only have one server.

Best way to land firegrab is with third spell on main hand dagger and immediatly after use fire grab.

Yeah

Btw.. firegrab fun

Btw.. firegrab funhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2z0mN09m_8

This ability resurects you temporaly. I don’t know why it says you receive that damage.

With the elementalist, when I use the mist form it says I receive as many damage as my health pool.

Btw, I did 90k crit once…

Well now I’m forced to the new op elementalist build full of invulnerabilities XD

No.

I would love arena TDM and without profesion stackin, only one of a kind.

I would love a flag game, with a flag on every base.

He’s clearly talking of hot join, or you see teams with 3 thiefs in tournaments?

Point is that for casual players that hot join, they get kitten by other profesions and the backstab combo is like one shot. So, for new players must be discouraging.

I think meta is bad in this sence, no one shold be inmortal and no one could kill one shoting.

Cheers.

Fire grab and churning earth have more base damage than backstab. Meaning that they can one hit harder. They have a lot of modifier to increse damage. And they have arcane utilitys to do more damage if it’s not enough.

Porblem here is that thief and ele have really low hp and armour. Thief has stealth and movility to land his damage, elementalist only movility.

Here you have two examples of max damage elementalist and thief can archieve, in same conditions:

Obviously this is with unviable pvp build and in would be impossible to gather all these boons and conditions at the same time, but you can see who has bigger damage.

Btw, problem with elementalist is the unkilleable build it has at the moment. And the problem is that when they nerf it, they will kill hibrid builds.

Elementalist have a very bigg skill cap, the problem of that build is that it’s so kitten that a new player can use it and not die. Then they think they are good…

I’m using a diferent build with the same mechanic and I can die, but it’s much more fun and I have way more damage (no that bunkerish tho..).

And just to finish with my big post, normally I try to write 2 lines, top tier players played againt condition engis? trap rangers? beastmaster rangers? they are more op than ele, at least from my ele PoV. Beastmaster is unkillable and has tons of damage movility and healing (like ele but much more damage XDDD) and trap rangers and condi engis can kill anything 1v1.

Cheers.

Eles do have higher burst than other profesions if spected so (base damage on spells). Actually they can kill quicker than a backstab thief glass cannon.

Point is eles are actually to op. With experience and they big skill cap you can do tones of damage, bunker and all the things op said. Me, as a ele since beta I think they need some type of nerf, no that bigg because they can easily turn thm to squishy.

What we want is some type of buff with the nerf, so we have other viable builds.

Arena net should seriously consider into put you in their staff team

I’m sorry but I really think that the orb should give the same skills to any player. It would be more balanced. If it’s to complicate to manage 5 new abilities, go play hello kitty online.

Answer would exactly be: “soon, when it’s finished”.

Not best thief, but video has great editing and very nice moves!

BTW, it’s not me, he’s the thief on my team

Guardian bunker should go specialized into shouts and bloquing.

Each stack of might is 35 power and condition damage; 25 stacks of might is 875 power and 875 condition damage.

If you have 1500 – 1600 condition damage with your gear and get extra 875 from 25 stacks of might, and you get 250 from weapon sigil, that is a total of 2625 condition damage.

Now, you use the formula:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Burning

Burning is a condition that inflicts damage over time and stacks in duration. Damage is determined by the following formula:

(0.25 * Condition Damage) + (4 * Level) + 8 damage per second

656 + 328 = 976 damage on tick.

If you look at the tooltip it says that it pays for one day.

Good Luck Arena net. Instead of working to make pvp better you do things like this…

I normally beat them with my ele if I have elemental (elite), but I have serious problems againts condi rangers.

Just wanted to say this was awesome! We’ve seen this and we think it’s pretty cool to see some of your opinions on the current state of the game. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Thanks for taking the time to show us you read it.

Hope it was helpful in some way.

Ya! It really was helpful. The survey mirrored a lot of things we’ve seen on the forums – but had it all in one spot.

It was also nice to see we have a good “read” on the playerbase – some of the things you guys rated as big issues are things we also consider to be our top priorities!

Are you going to do anything about this?
This been said for months and months and as a developer all you came up with was a another node capping map. WoW had 3-4 major PvP updates you guys did not do a jack especially for a new game. Little slap here and there and we still people howling with furry about certain brocken mechanics / professions.

You guys are absolutely clueless based on what I have seen in a video about state of the game. You are trying to buff already too powerful class (mesmer) based on what? So mesmer will have an easier time killing Minion Master Necro – spec that nobody uses at high level.

PvP in this game is dieing if not dead and unless you take some initiative in your hands or listen to feedback you will lose little bits of community that is left.

For the love of god do something about this game. If spells / skills are too cheesy you need to rework it. Make that all professions will take skill to play instead of a huge disparity.

You did not need a survey to hear the community. This post will probably fall on deaf ears like hundred did whatever. Keep butchering PvP in this game. This is by far one of the worst PvP experiences I had in years from the company that claimed that they are thinking of supporting ESports and the ones who will try to balance this game around “SKILL” yet you did all you possibly could to destroy PvP community and make people rage with a skill and strength disparity on professions.

Here is the idea. Bring back Guild Wars 1. Make it look a lot better than what it is now and remove PvP from Guild Wars 2.

Beautiful game went down the pooper.

Yes, they will do something “soon”.

Anet will look at this survey… soon.

Say what you want, question here would be, is ele skillcap low? No. Ele skillcap is high.

If you play bunker builds, skillcap is diferent because if you fail you can heal up again.

I must say it, I’m proud of the people posting here, I mean, it’s a constructive post with lot’s of info on diferent and rewarding builds (ofc they need more skillcap).

Another problem of the elementalist, is that we haven’t got much utilitys to go with, If I said half of them are good I would be lying.

I’m playing with a build I really have fun now. It’s similar to the bunker one but more dps orientated.

I play with valkyrie and 20 in air, 20 water and 30 arcane. I can still heal myself a lot and I’m a very good 1v1 build.

I play it in teamfights, I normally don’t invade. In fights I can dps a lot and don’t have to get much out of the fight, still doing really decent damage.

With next patch I’ll provably use same build but with scepter, maybe even more dps orientated.
It’s really hard to stand 1v2 good players.

In SOTG you said that when the game would be finished you would do marketing to make players come back. Just to make you think a little bit about it, lot’s of player’s just won’t come back even they have the game because the have lost the confidence on you.

We, the community of PvP players, feel extremly abandoned. You are centered in other parts of the game and just work to slowly with PvP. This game had (and has) the potential to be a game that would mark milions of players and you are just wasting this oportunity.

Now finish with this situation, start investing resources and time on us or it will be a path of no return for all of us.

Mexez.5437:

oh really? ah man, i played like mad in normalquene and so low rewards except when u lvl up that i thought id never get nice gears, im rank 11 and i have only gotten like 2 rotten dyes:P

crafted some armors but all look the same heh.

You can craft it with the mats you get from salvaging the weapons and armours you win in tournaments (2 team and 8 team).

Mexez.5437:

OMG the gear so niceeeee. i stopped playing some months ago but after seeing that gear oh man!

im feeling that first beta vibes again:) thanks nice vid.

Actually that gear is very easy to obtain, you can get it at level 1 of pvp. You just have to win tournament matches :P

Yay thanks for all the positive feedback! It’s really appreciated!

If you liked the video maybe you should subscribe. My guild (NSMB) is still active and we will upload more stuff.

Last video was a big big crit:

Hope you enjoy!

Footatge from hot join and tournaments.

If they put ladders and MM works well the only problem this game will have it will be the community, that it will be too little.

Of course, new game modes would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

@devs:

Next month ratings?

Thx Trippen, I think you said the words xD

Effects to do this are:

10% extra damage water trait VI.
10% extra damage from runes of scholar.
5% extra damage from sigil.
5% extra damage from target burning.
5% extra damage from target burning.
20% extra damage for target under 33% health.
20% extra damage for target stuned.
3% extra damage for activating an arcane utility (I forgot to activate the other one, and well done i could used three of them for the 100k).
10% damage for attuned to fire.
250 extra power from sigil.
840 extra power from 24 stacks of might.
30 points on fire and 30 points on air for extra power and crit damage.
berseker amulet for max damage.
Banner of discipline for 10% extra damage.
Banner of streangh for 90 extra power.
Trait II of warrior, in tactics, for 70 extra power.

Also, the target has 25 stacks of vulnerability, for 25% extra damage
without traits and armour so no damage reducers
Frenzy, 50% extra damage.

I’m shure I can do a 100k churning earth but I though it was more visual with fire grab.

We needed 10 persons to do this, and it was only for fun and entertaining. This is imposible in sPvP to get all this effects together. But hey, the crit is nice

Hi! What is your biggest crit? This one is mine!

Hope you get hard

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmmbxR5wjDAEFmgiQxDWUegzM2A;ToAA0CmoqxUjoGbNuak1MgYKC

Build if someone is interested :P

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do:

My last video, just a paid match.

For non spanish speakers, you’ll provably don’t understand, it’s spanish talking. You can still enjoy gameplay

By the way, I’m preparing Laz PvP VI.

This is two months ago, now my build is better. Have to say that I can’t win 1vs4, even if they are bad, but I did do some 1v3 (vs newies) on spvp.

Soon I’ll do new one.

Cheers.

Qualification points don’t show who is more skilled, shows who played more. Of course who is more skilled will have lot’s of qualification.

Point is that we need a ranking, a ladder.

The way it is now it’s only an estratagem to sell tourney tickets…

I would like so much deathmatch arenas

A guide I did about my condition build:
