Look, it’s not like your cheerful enthusiasm is gona change the reality here. The reality being that non-meta weapons are MUCH worse than the meta ones. I dont care about you giving as example professional esport players. Those examples mean zero. Those guys would likely win matches while carpet-riding.
The way GW2 skill system was built doesn’t help either, since your most important skills you have to choose them in blocks of 3 or 5, and kitten you if you wanted that meteor shower coupled with dragon’s breath.
The point is that no matter how long you play, at one moment in time you’re gona realise how much more this game could be if they 1) make ALL weapons competitive or 2) unlock the skills from the weapons, and perhaps, just perhaps, you’d be on your way to having 10% of the cool skill system GW1 had.
bitter vet rant over/come at me newbros
I’ve been playing sPvP on and off since launch. I recently came back to see what’s changed and I’m still disappointed. This game will never have anything close to the PvP that GW1 had. There’s a reason they broke their promise of continued expansion releases for GW1 and announced GW2, they wanted to cash in on the casual PvE crowd. It’s been obvious since day one. As I scroll through the PvP forums here I see absolutely no activity from Anet staff. PvP has always and will always be an after thought in this game. As a vet with over 5,000 hours in GW1, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I don’t know if this has been discussed yet, but I tried searching for it and did not find it. I discovered this by total accident while playing hot joins earlier. As you can see in the video I have uploaded, you can get under the map, attack people and cap the ruins without anyone knowing you’re there. I know this map is not in tourney rotation and no one here may even care about this, but I thought it was worth showing to everyone.
