In game VOIP/VoiceChat a good idea?

in PvP

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

Most argue that voip is either another channel for horrible ppl to shout theirs offensive words on others or those who want to use it already do so.

Have you ppl ever used voice chat in other games even? Both those points just make me laugh.

Horrible ppl point:
Yes they exist but mute gets rid of them rather quick. Also as default you could have voip off. So issue with rude ppl is VERY easily avoided.

Ppl who want to use it already use it point:

No. If that would be the case this topic would not exist. Also in solo q I can hardly use TS or so.

In game voice chat helped me a lot in CS (and few other games) while both ranked or just public server play to improve the fun while pvping as communication is a critical aspect of a good pvp. Pings as in LoL wouldnt work here since this is not top down view kind of game. Also in game voip allows you quickly help new players and give advice, helps you communicate easier and quicker so skilled solo q team could have way bigger chance against premade with team speak. Makes you find friends easier and make teams so team pvp could improve as well. Noone says kitten in chat in this game, i’m almost always the only one to report inc.

Having in game voip can heavily improve PvP experience and lack of teams in this game. How ppl can try to say that voip is a bad idea is beyond me. Do you even PvP ppl or you have it just as a daily farm so you dont want to deal with anyone and just get your reward? Because any real pvp player knows that it can only help.

Anet reaction to this would be awesome so we would know if they work on it or not. I think they do not but maybe that knowledge might help so the community would fix this somehow, as it did with tournaments.

In LoL they even show players the statistics – possitive talking ppl who work with others have most chances of winning. In any pvp game you meet many negative ppl etc. but those matches with optimists who can win a lost match are imo the best ones. Like one of mine where SUPER RARE thing happened. In all solo q team we went and killed the lord to secure the win 500:470 or so. They expected us to give up as the game seemed over for us. Well, it wasnt. Shame therr is no voice chat so I could help the team spirit some more.

If You Was PvP Game Director ?

Make PvP mode easy to buy or F2P. Maybe 5 dollars or something so there is more people who get into PvP. But first you’d need some tutorials to explain PvP by pros where they explain every movement in few battles and tactics people use and show how exciting PvP can be because to someone who doesn’t know this game it is just pure chaos.

Also first thing on PvP director’s plate should be balancing as often as possible and doing everything he/she can to make it possible for players to create multiple builds for a single class. That also means introducing new weapons or even radical redesign of any skills that are not used.

One thing I agree with Ohoni is that dailies should be separated. But that goes also with class specific daily. Both things bring PvE players or classes people can’t play at all into PvP where it doesn’t belong just to get a stupid crate . But as rewards go, really?

Allow turrets/objects to take burn damage?

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

why are you so heavy against engi turrets? they are only slightly (~10%) op
next time you see a turret engi just send your nec in to take care of him.

there are many other construction sites that needs to be fixed. e.g. perma fear nec, power rangers with homing missiles and invincible finishers from ele, engi, (mes)

Sure perma fear necro is annoying but how many of those have you seen good ones and how many easy turret engi wins have you seen compared to the necro.

And to PvE vs PvP. They could make any skill different for pve and for pvp.

Lich ulti is the only thing that power necro has. Sure, the combo you can do does awesome dmg and can kill almost anyone, but the lack of mobility makes necro so easy to focus its not even funny. Even lich can be focused down pretty quick, and should be. Unless you have a mesmer with Moa ulti. I have more troubles against terromancers. But with all honesty, it is cause I’m bad

The fact that Anet hasn’t been able to nerf this build is just mindblowing. For example why turrets have so big regen? Why when traited you can get boons for free? They could try small nerfs on this long time ago. I sometimes pvp with a group where we have one turret engineer and we win most games. And I think everyone knows how fun it is to run in a turret engi on Skyhammer at the top, right? Yesterday we lost only like two games because one was really good premade and other team had two turret engies and we only had one.

Hearing from a dev that “they are looking into it” is kinda like saying “hey we haven’t been watching any of the PvP for a long time”. It just makes me sad that I got into GW 2 PvP again while seeing how devs “care” about it.

In game VOIP/VoiceChat a good idea?

in PvP

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

I don’t want to listen to 12 year olds screaming

For people like you I have simple answer (even tho Anet will most likely never implement any VOIP, but I like PvP so I keep hoping). It can be easily avoided – just make it so people have to turn it on in options and default setting is off. You won’t hear anyone if you do not want to. Plus.. mute is in every voice chat.

But what people do not get is that it makes PvP more interesting. First you get to know people a bit more, from good and bad side and also both teams can communicate, so more cooperation etc. I wonder how many people who don’t want VOIP are really PvPers and how many are occasional pvpers.

Class "racism" within community

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

Saying it is shameful you say that being a human is shameful. At least in my opinion most of those “shameful” behaviours happen because people act in affect, therefore kinda without thinking. Sure, there are rude etc. people but a lot of people also is frustrated with nothing being done about certain crazy strong builds.

One thing to say about those “builds” I’ve never seen in any other game someone kill certain class and go something like “I hate you” or “Die you kitten”. And I have seen it here more than once. It is not about the community, but about really crazy strong builds and nothing being done for a long time about them. Most people do not snap just for the hell of it but because they are frustrated.

Omnio.3652

So fun that ppl think its a horrible idea tho communication is the key to building a community around PvP. And since almost noone is using the chat while playing… well… VOIP is the last hope. I can’t even count how many people I had or have as friends in games just cause we talked and played together many more games later cause of similar approach to the game which we would never find out we do share without communication.

Also for those who are not so sure, yes, communication is the key in PvP and even pugs can do it. Its never about pug or premade its about people in the team.

Class "racism" within community

in Engineer

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

Class discrimination exists for a reason, tho it is more build discrimination. If you play some OP build well you deserve to be told Honestly this game has some serious issues with balance. Every game has and it will always be like this, but some builds here are far too long left alone.

And it is really hard to blame people for hating on those builds if they keep being farmed by easy build over and over. I know from my own experience that it is really annoying and I hate on those classes too.

The fact is people in PvP want to PvP not just watch others to wipe the floor with them. I’ve played many MMOs and PvP in all of them and I dont think I’ve seen such cheesy builds yet.

I did quit once after fractals and now I’m back for like two weeks. As more of a PvPer it seems very much the same as at the launch. Ok its worse. Different objective maps, some really weird that noone wants to play, havnt noticed any changes to those maps, lack of real balancing, stronghold – another bad pvp map because players vs npc aint much pvp. But at least they are trying. And the best part – one new class. Lol. We dont know how many skills will specs bring but even gw 1 had two classes in an expansion.

I might stay around to lrn more about the expansion, I like conquest maps but not carring is still bad. I found a game that might get released next year where actually devs listen a lot and try things based on the community ideas. That “dev care” alone will get me to play that game over this. Even tho I want to love GW 2 as I like guild wars 1. But Anet seems to go more for money than players. Even tho listening well to players gets you money as well.

The other game I did recommend cause of devs, about GW 2 I usualy say “if you grind over and over – fractals, and you want devs that do not care, it is a game for you” I told them ofc more about GW 2 but even with the discount it is not as interesting as the other game in alpha. I wont name the game btw cause I would like to see gw2 do well. But that is pve only probably because pvp crowd seems to be as important for anet as garbage.

Communication in PUG groups

in PvP

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

First pings should make a sound. Haven’t check options if I can turn it somehow on but doesn’t make sound for me. I don’t watch map 24/7 same as I don’t watch chat. This is again “no VOIP” issue. If Anet won’t understand this, PvP is badly hurt by it.

In LoL you have pings with sound but LoL is top down view and moba game. VOIP is imo the only solution. Have it optional, possible to turn it off.

I usually try to communicate, say how many goes where or if someone is incoming. But! I can type pretty fast with all my fingers and imo most people probably can’t.

Since PvPers are probably not the one making most money for Anet, they dont care. By the design GW 2 is what WoW was, not in number of people playing, but in intention. Just a profit thing, it is not about making the best game for players as some try to do.

We either get VOIP and will have some communication like in Counter Strike / Planetside 2 or we won’t get a VOIP and there will be that 1% rare number of people who actually use the chat after the match has started.

PLEASE, bring back SOLO queue

in PvP

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

VOIP and no class freakin daily which is much worse cancer to any PvP than any OP build. Against premades you get farmed, sometimes, against some. Only makes you better at PvP if you can learn from it.

PvP is about winning and you can’t win all. Against good players you learn the most. But with VOIP there would be a chance to kill some premades easy. Theirs advantage mostly is communication. In CS:GO if you meet more players from one clan and we have random team it sometimes makes people work harder. Suddenly they use mics and talk as never before. And I’ve won many of those games.

Communication + doing your best = doesn’t matter who you are facing. Plenty of premades are just random guild group that have no more communication than a PUG. Pug from good players will always beat premade of bad ones

wtb soloq

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

I get you guys but LoL has tons of players for making that solo Q and premade Q possible. I’ve played CS:GO for a while too and they have 5v5 as well, voice chat in there too. Usually you have one guy who is leading, if any really. Or you have people at least talking a bit. Not all do so its ok. Some rage, sure, you mute them, problem fixed. Also premade doesn’t always mean you win. From my experience it is just as possible for random team to win. Always depends on the players. If you communicate (which most people here do not, its worse than in SWTOR, CS:GO and LoL), if you stay positive and if you try (I’m not talking about super focus try hard, just do your “best” in the moment) everything is ok.

And language barrier is always an issue but most people know at least a bit of english from my experience from other MMOs. Also thanks to voice chat you can learn a lot. If you meet few good guys they can give you some advice. Most people are lazy to type it down to the chat.

Anyway. Most money are probably going to the game from PvE crowd so unless Anet really wants to make this game more successful e-sport, they won’t change much I guess. Lets keep hoping though.

Solo q is not necessary IF we have a voice chat and a reson to win. In LoL you have pings as a way of communication and it works perfect. However it is for moba game and top down view. Here we just need voice chat.

Facing premades in any game is not so bad if your team wants to win, has a way of communication and knows the map. All those 3 aspects are in gw 2 pvp kinda meh.

not everyone wants to tryhard with complete randoms or talk to them really… People queue solo because they want to queue solo (or dont have friends on.)

Well you could turn off voice chat. But I’m talking about ranked, you should try there to win. If you want to kill there is unranked and hotjoin.

Anet Make people care about winning.

Omnio.3652

It is not making people play as you want at all. I have to agree especially about Temple. I always write it down that tranquility is 8:30. Two issues with that. No voice chat and most do not read chat or use it at all. Second most dont even know what it does. Tutorial for PvP would be good when you enter Hotm for the first time. Or maybe just ranked. I have honestly never seen so far so many people not caring in any other mmo in arenas. Imo it might be the daily. Nobody goes there for pvp, well some do, but a lot of people go there just to complete that stupid class daily or whetever else is there to get a reward.

All this reward system is kitten to mmos. Before people had fun and theirs own goals. Today it is about achievments and daily, monthly etc. Why? Because companies know that it gets addictive for people.

If Anet thinks that this might be an e-sport game… well, makes me laugh, sadly. They should make the pvp for pvpers. At least the ranked one. Make it for those who enjoy PvP. That means no reward for a losing team. Why? So people care to learn.

Maybe Anet could do some event with footage on youtube after where they take top players and let them explain how maps work, what roles classes have, how combos work not only for you but with others too to improve cooperation. And those vids should be advertised or at least link to them somewhere in pvp menu. Maybe a new tutorial tab?

P.S. it is annoying to lose temple after temple because you go 1v3 for tranquility buff. Also btw one important thing some forget. It is not the players who play as they want, it is the environment/game design that steers them to play certain ways.

But I’m being naive here. Most money probably comes from pve players so who would care about pvp.

Dealing with Theives (pvp daily)

in Necromancer

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

Against that thief before 6:25 you still had your fear on the staff. Put also 3 on the ground and 4 right after to create weakness by blast finisher on that poison field. Maybe change off hand for a dagger but cripple and daze are good as well. Though dagger helps you more with condition removal and as terromancer you go for conditions so if its condi thief or gives you blind or anything you can give it right back. Plus weakness on 5 on dagger. Or leave horn as off hand and try spectral armor to get more life force. Works well for me to get back into Death Shroud sooner with more life force. And good stun breaker.

Also I’ve read a good rule. Never put marks just on the grounds. They can roll and avoid it. Unless you have unavoidable trait. But still I think its better to put them on someone instead on the ground. Maybe the 2 I put down to know if thief is around.

Also what Roe says, move it baby. ^^

What are your 'fun' sPvP builds?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

I tried classic power build with dagger/focus + staff and for utilities I use spectral armor, spectral grab and well of suffering. And as elite I like golem over lich for more CC. I found today CC combo I almost found myself in Hollts video on youtube – grab, immobilize – 3rd skill on dagger, well, DS – fear, auto attack or two and back to dagger. If I land the grab it hurts as hell. Power ranger in a downed state is my favourite. ^^

Though I guess on higher rank pvp it might not work. Stun lock kills you as usual but i can do much more with my necro compared to my engi or mesmer. Maybe it fits more my style.

What I like about it is insane burst if you make the whole combo, condi cleanse is good, ranged on staff works and mark for fear to save allies from stomping. And spec armor gives great life force. I use trait for reduced DS instead the trait that allows your DS blast to pierce the target. Works great for me so far and is fun as hell. Tho hammer enemies are pain

Omnio.3652

in gw1 sync droppers, and instant quitters, killed the playerbase.

I’m sure thats why gw2 gave up on that system. Its very hard to stop unsportmanlike players, who only want to play with certain people, and will instantly quit a match otherwise.

What happened in gw1, is after a while you could not even get a match going because of people constantly quitting and trying to sync. At least in gw2 there is less instant quits over having no healer on team …lol

I"m sure in gw2 you end up on a premade team as much as you end up fighting against one so it evens out in the long run. The more people that are playing, the better any matchmaking system is. I for one would rather not have long qeue times.

You seem to be talking about random arena though from GW 1. In Team Arena or Alliance wars etc. you could take your team if I remember correctly. Here you can take premade with you so that should fix leaving. Also no healer as you say helps. ^^

"Favored to win"?

in PvP

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

A couple of matches ago I was against a team I have to assume was premade. We lost 500 to 100~ (my memory fails me) and I lost a point. I have a really difficult time imagining how I was favored to win a match where we got absolutely killed. This happened again a few minutes ago, and I’m sure I’ll lose a point for it, too, and yet I do not believe I could be favored to win either of those matches.

I don’t know if it counts ranking for every single class, but if it does over all you might get someone who is playing one class over and over. Some people also learn quicker, have experienced players who told them what to do etc. You win some you lose some. In PvP is always good to be ready to die. It just happens.

Tired of so Little Variety and Builds.

Omnio.3652

I must say I was today checking up tournament builds for Engineer and Mesmer. Two classes I enjoy playing in PvP. Mesmer builds were all the same and Engineer builds had like one or two skills different, but usualy the same traits.

Something is wrong here. But I think its no Monk in this game. On one hand it seems cool but on other hand you need to have some defensive skills, condition removal, stun breaker etc. You know what I mean. And because of that you NEED to have some skills there, so its limiting, a lot, your build.

Why gw2 pvp is different from gw1 pvp.

in PvP

Posted by: Omnio.3652

Omnio.3652

I agree with OP. Tho you forgot to mention one really big difference between GW 1 and GW 2. GW 1 was ment to be PvP game where PvE is just something else to do while there is no PvP. Thats why PvP in that game was so awesome. GW 2 on the other hand is trying to be best in every aspect, at least thats what we are getting from interviews. WvW is epic server vs server battle, PvP will be e-sport (yea, sure) and PvE is like no other before because of super cool events.

WvW is played by some I’d prefer Planetside because WvW seems like demoversion to it. PvP e-sport? Well in GW1 it was because it was a lot about skill, it wasnt so fast and wasn’t about who gets to zerg whom first. That we can see on mesmer, change from a guy who can turn off the enemy to basically dps. And PvE, altough I like event system a bit its really only quests where you don’t have to go ask NPC what to do. The area with centaur camps is awesome (not sure on what map is that) and I thought its going to be like that in whole world, or similar. Well, it ain’t. Yes I was overhyped as a player of GW 1 I was really looking forward to this. The bigger hype the bigger dissapointment.

Don’t get me wrong I still play PvP and I’ll probably continue for some time, yet there is a lot of weird things going on with this game. We’ll see where it will lead.

PvP leavers debuff or something

Well, till “join solo” button I didn’t experience so many leavers or afkers like now. Is there anything are you going to do about it Anet? If yes, just tell me I’ll wait but so far I don’t know.

Debuff when leaving / kick after few minutes of AFK in tournament (that is probably there already, not sure havent tried it). This debuff was in GW 1 I think and it worked well, at least you knew you are not going to get that guy again in your team. There is a great example how to deal with it in League of Legends in case of report for leaving, afk etc. What I have in mind is something like big debuff for certain number of reports. You leave this many games, you get one day debuff, you continue leaving, 3 day debuff, 7 day, 30 days. Also if you leave one game like 5-10 minutes at least.

Sure, some people get disconnected but they are not going to have many leaves and also, they try to get back. So maybe delete all leaves after a month and start count again. For those who would have 7 day debuff or left a lot of games there shouldn’t be any clean list even after that month, because they just like leaving. Hot join is fine when you leave, but debuff for tournaments would be awesome. It gets really annoying if someone is afk only because he is losing, he has nothing to do in PvP with this attitude.

And yes, I’m talking just about one round tournament here I wasn’t doing much three round ones lately but still, its a tournament, its something more than just hot join PvP so there should really be some rules. PvP is my main focus even tho I play it casualy so far without a pro team but when even League of Legends has lower number of leavers / afkers, thats a bad sign.

oh right, another change for sPvP I REALLY want to have happen is an independant class balance team from the PvE that will make changes that alter skills abilities specifically for sPvP. I think it is a large mistake to try and balance both or you have glaring issues between the two (like the ranger pet over-performing in Open PvE, doing good in sPvP, and being useless in both dungeons and WvW). Basically I think skill balancing needs to be divided more between PvE and PvP.

Funy thing is it was kinda like that in GW 1, there was a lot of things in GW 1 which made sense and which are not in GW 2. Its just like. WTF?

Well truth is there could be more complex PvP tutorial. I agree with Abazigal that bunkers are kinda weird for new people and they are not sure what are they doing wrong. So why not make an NPC tutorial where its all explained? I mean its nice to have youtube vids about it, but hey who is going to watch them?

Every single game I am vs premades AND every single game you put some rank 5 on my team.

Why even bother? Whats the point in even playing the games? It is a joke.

Another crybaby? Really? Every single game I’m vs premades I try to communicate with my team, most people dont talk, those who do I add to my friendlist. Also every single game I’m vs premade I try as hard as I can to win. Every single game I have someone low rank I try to give them advice.

Sure, low ranks usualy don’t listen, they dont care about what you say, they want to have fun, they just fight and dont care about orb or points or anything. Sure, most people dont communicate, they dont give a crap, they are solo people. Thats just the times we live in. You want to change that? Get a team, get people who communicate in friendlist and play with them etc. I did beat premades with pugs many times because premade doesnt mean they know what are they doing and in the same time pug doesnt mean they dont know what they are doing. Its just about people who are in those teams.

And statistic says, you cant get only noobs in your teams and pros against you. Try harder.

EDIT: They might do something like reports in LoL for being a noob, for not cooperating etc. Because I get you, its sometimes really frustrating having people in team who dont really care for the tournament, who care for kills etc. But what you can do, people are just people, sadly.

Try saying that with straight face when you get thrown into a match with one of NA’s best teams as a pug, twice.

I would be honored by that and tried to learn as much as possible. Sure, you die probably very fast against a good team, so? Try to stay alive a little bit longer and don’t give up.

@TheGuy

You are PvPer no doubt about that. Yet you cant expect other people to think same as you do. Even tho most real PvPers get what you wrote I think. There are still people who want only to win, who rage when they lose, who think they are OP, people who think theirs team is garbage because it can’t be them why they lost etc. I’m glad to see someone with this approach towards PvP but we are only humans, therefore there is many, MANY “kittens” around here.

And my advice about these “kittens” is make them rage, make them lose, its fun. Because really, there is no better satisfaction in PvP than beating some egoistic nutjob who thinks he is the best of all. And todays society makes a lot of em.

"Solo" Que

Yes, sometimes you are in team with rank 1, 40, 25 etc. like OP said. But the best way to learn is to play against better players and if you play against 40+ ranks you probably die fast especialy if they are premade, but if you don’t take any experience out of it, you are playing it wrong. Its the best experience, to see what they play, how, what classes they have, who takes the orb or who goes there or whatever.

I hope I’ll still be able to meet higher ranks in the future because I’d hate to see only same ranks as I am. I know that rank doesn’t mean always skilled player, but experience it is and I always liked playing against more experienced people, because from people on the same level or lower you can’t simply learn as much as against people who play way better.

I might be too “oldschool” but PvP was never about fair play. PvP is about winning, about beating your oponent with what you have in that time in that place. So some premades might stomp you as fast that you don’t even notice, I know the feeling too as we all do. But thats just PvP, if you are not ready to die than you should consider if PvP is right thing for you.

Thats why my PvP motto always has been “I’m ready to die!”, those who are not usualy rage, cry, complain or quit. Those who are ready to die are ready to learn.

a shame, how anet ignore the community

@gaborkaldy

Rangers want different things. If you ask some, they don’t use that bugged trait (not sure how many bugged traits is in ranger tree) so they want new pets, they want more weapons for Ranger, they want him to be a bit different class, they want different long bow etc. Ofc bugs should be most important thing to fix, but company making MMO has way more things to consider beside bugs.

Its with Engi too, most people are complaining about kit refinement nerf, but not much of us engis is talking about FT buff or heal buff on elixir gun. Learn to play (if you have fun) what you play with bonuses and downsides it brings and be grateful for every bug fix. I’ve never made MMO, so I dont know how hard is it, but my imagination says, its probably kitten hard. Just think about sometimes how would your perfect MMO look, and why. You could find yourself in a difficult possition. And now imagine, these people are actualy not just thinking it, but doing it.

I don’t think Anet ignores the community. But imagine this, your game is playing couple hundred thousands people, they all are different, they all want different things from the game, from theirs class etc. They all go different builds, have different skill with class so they all see the same things very different. Now, how do you suggest Anet does please everyone? They can’t! You like Ranger? Play him, don’t care about broken traits and use what you can. I have my Ranger only 52, but PvP is kitten fine with him and PvE was awesome so far.

It just amazes me how everyone thinks new games will be polished like 8 years or so old games. It can’t be like this. You want perfect MMO? Make one yourself, you’ll see that it will be perfect just for you and thousands people can say, it SUX. We all have different tastes. You like the game? Play it, you don’t? Well its a shame you spend all time here, did you have fun? Yes? So whats the problem. You didn’t have fun? Why you were playing then?
