Guild Wars 2

Yes, if you manage to find somebody willing to stand still and facetank a full hundred blades.

Seriously…HB aoe damage? That’s what you came up with to rival backstab? lol.

Please change hot join to 5v5 and get someone to copy/paste the matchmaking system from ANY OTHER GAME so we can get solo que 5v5’s against opponents of equal skill.

You know, like pretty much EVERY OTHER “E-SPORT” on the market.

You should probably do some kind of matchmaking for tournaments too, that’s probably a good idea.

Thanks.

Basically it got boring. WvW is the same 3 things right now.

1. Run with a zerg and smash your face into the same gates over and over again. This is fun occasionally, but it got old pretty quick for me.

2. Try to get small group fights. This is awesome and really fun, unfortunately you’ll just get facerolled by the enemy zerg when they notice cross swords somewhere on the map. (Seriously what the kitten is up with the cross swords mechanic?) and the map is so kitten small that the enemy can just straight up send their entire zerg to the camp you just took because it only takes 100 people like 30 seconds to cross the entire map.

3. Reason 3 is why I hate playing on eternal battlegrounds. Build a treb to counter the treb that’s hitting our treb that was countering their treb which was firing on our treb that’s hitting the treb that’s shooting at our treb. Sweet lets run back and forth between supply camps and build sites for hours on end pushing “F”.

Oh yeah and another thing, PLEASE let us turn off all the particle effects. You created this cool thing where instead of cast bars we are supposed to watch character animations so we can dodge or interrupt at the right time, except that it’s impossible because there 20 million fireballs and explosions freaking everywhere on this TINY little point that everybody is clusterkittening on.

So yeah, let us turn off particle effects. I’m not even going to get started on how Asura have an innate advantage because they are so ridiculously small their animations are impossible to decipher, especially combined with the fact that there are probably 3-6 mesmer clones running all over the place and a couple of thiefs that aren’t even rendered while dropping 10k backtsab bombs on you.

Yeah the more I think of it the harder time I have believing that this game is ever going to be fun.

Seriously? You think having the first thing a new player does in structured be completely different than what they do in tournaments is a good thing? My post isn’t an exaggeration at all. That’s literally what happens every time a person tries structured pvp for the first time. Why do you think there are so few people doing structured. It sucks.

Also what’s with the thin skin remark? People aren’t idiots and don’t want to waste their time being frustrated with a broken system and you say they have thin skin?

Well for starters it will make hot join funner than punching yourself in the face.

Hot join pvp is literally worse than punching yourself in the face.

I wish all classes had the same skills while in downed state. Thief and mesmer downed states are legitimately good. You better have over 20% of your life and not have any other enemies around or you’re screwed.

I also wish you could stomp people underwater, because beating a limp body for 5 extra minutes is dumb, and it’s even dumber when it’s an ele that got downed on land and vapor formed into the water. Great, now I have to waste more time beating his lifeless body.

Don’t get me started on the rally system. It’s infuriating, especially in WvW. Just beat a guy? Great job, oh wait he’s back on his feet with half his life because of something died. Don’t get me started on warriors popping vengeance and wacking a half dead moa with vengeance traited.

Also, you can’t just straight up guaranteed stability stomp ele’s, mesmer, thief, or necro. The first 3 because their #2 down state moves their location, so you have to waste time going through the stomp animation before they trigger it, and necro because fear goes through stabo, even though the tooltip says stability prevents it. So once again, you better have a bunch of life and not be fighting anybody else at the time or you’re screwed.

And finally, quickness stomps work like 20% of the time. Seriously I don’t know if this is warrior (frenzy) specific, but I don’t even bother stomping while I have quickness because it never actually works and I just end up wasting a bunch of time.

I don’t necessarily dislike the whole downstate mechanic, I just don’t think it’s very well implemented. I love frantically trying to interrupt a stomp, or quickly revive a downed ally, but it’s usually just a frustrating ordeal.

Maybe if people had like super low HP and their heal gets put on CD when they are revived I’d be better off with downstate. As it stands it’s just frustrating.

Hi I’m new to GW2 and I’m looking forward to competitive PVP.

hot joins
gets zerged
learns nothing

OK I’ve been playing for awhile and I think I’m ready for tournaments

joins free tourney
has no idea what is going on, has never played 5v5, is basically useless
gets crushed by premades

Looks like I need a dedicated team to play this game competitively

tries to find a team
only like 4 people in mists and 2 are AFK

Welp, that wasn’t fun sorry guys

logs off
uninstalls

Well since the maps are so small a zerg can get anywhere in literally less than 2 minutes I’d say the best 5 man roaming group is 5 warriors using GS and sword+warhorn so they can all escape the 100 man zerg that will be chasing them around the map anytime they try to accomplish anything.

I am not being sarcastic in this post. Make the maps bigger so my 5 man can actually get something done without being chased around by 100 people because a camp we are trying to take is literally 2 mesmer portals and a skip away from a spawn point.

Sorry this post is so QQ I just miss fun open field battles instead of running with 100 people to get supply to build a treb to counter the treb that countered our treb that was trebbing their treb that’s trebbing our treb.

This is literally the worst dungeon mechanic I’ve ever seen. Just spent a solid 2 hours with a group that can clear any other Arah path in around 30 minutes and we couldn’t complete this.

I’m honestly curious who thought this was a good idea.

He doesn’t ever want to fight!!

Rendering has always been a problem in WvW, but post patch it’s honestly unplayable. It’s not even rendering 1 person standing 10 feet away right now.
