Guild Wars 2

setdog.1592:

the problem isnt the game its your expectations.

the vast majority of players are just there to have fun, and not actually “try”.

its entertainment, its not a professional football match.

i dont understand why people playing this game expect it to be a “serious” affair.

its entertainment.

its like listening to some guy complain about the strategy of a 3rd grade sporting event, or like being lectured by a boss from mcdonalds about how people should take their jobs more seriously.

i mean what are you complaining about? you’re at home, sitting in a chair, probably slurping on a soda and clicking buttons. youre not really doing anything.

The problem is that this game is trying to be eSports. Competitive gamers are investing both their money and time into this, because like a professional football player, they have to constantly train. Like many people who have jobs, these competitive gamers do to and those jobs consist of them playing video games. Either making money from streaming or winning prize money. Don’t belittle someones job or rise to one b/c you don’t understand or acknowledge it.
If the game truly wants to become eSports it needs to appease that audience not the PvE heroes that are constantly complaining that a nerf to “blah blah blah” will kill their dps in PvE nor the people like yourself who think of the game solely as a game.

Pyromagnium.4751:

It’s more of an example of what happens when a company promises something and then does not fulfill said promise. 25th is not over. Why is the season over. I would have asked this if I were legend.

You can’t prepare for everything. How are they gonna know that their server is gonna down? It’s just a case of bad timing. Get over it and move on.

There was so much time to get to legendary….This is like complaining that you didn’t finish your homework in high school because you were procrastinating. I got to legendary easily within the given time. Next time don’t wait til the last minute.

Make sure the #1 goes in your signature. If you want guidance im sure online is available to help you.

So @online, how does this “#1 Warrior NA” thing work? Is there an application and an essay that I have to write first? :P

Yeah, I’ve completed the “win X games on X class” multiple times and still haven’t advanced past year of the ascension II b/c I haven’t played enough games a day…kind of dumb that you can’t advance by completing other achievements in there. Just more time gated stuff, hooray… -.-

Mesmer is broken for one and two the class didn’t make you lose, you lost it yourself.

The reason this game is failing is because of Anet, not a group of people. They don’t listen to any advice that the community gives them. Really, Anet hijacked this game and took it away from the community.

Dahkeus.8243:

There’s nothing really tanky about this build…

• Rifle without Crack Shot is weak, especially after the change to boost its adrenal gain.
• You’ll want Cleansing Ire if the balance changes announced stick.

There’s several other trait choices I don’t entirely agree with, but it’s not worth nit picking considering how many unknowns there are.

Yeee…I’m gonna disagree with this.
Yes, the build isn’t tanky but rifle without crack shot isn’t weak. I would however use it over warrior’s sprint in this build.
Cleansing Ire is unneeded. There is a good amount of condition removal and resistance in this build that taking cleansing ire would be almost overkill in most situations. You’ll have the adrenaline gain from crack shot in the new patch and burst mastery helps to sustain some adrenaline as well.
Even though there isn’t really much wrong with this build, you shouldn’t run it in spvp. There’s zero mobility. This build is better as a 1 v 1 build that you’d duel with.
Edit: Don’t run double energy sigil with discipline trait line.

I don’t really have a problem with how it is now…Burst skill is always F1 and going berserk is F2. Looks fine to me.

Hammer/Greatsword isn’t very good in the current meta. Axe+shield/Greatsword does alright and so does zerkerberker with gunflame.

You should take a break when you hit a losing streak. Even a 3 game losing streaks warrants a break. They really pay off. You get in a better mind set and your mmr lowers so you’ll get better games.

Example A:

LOL OP is still low tier in PvP, please don’t ask for nerfs to accommodate your lack of knowledge and skill in PvP. K bye!
Those types of builds lose games in diamond and legend divisions.

The could make blood reckoning a passive heal similar to ele signet where you heal as you do damage and then when you proc it, it has a different effect. Say, breaks stun and heals for 5k or something.

I’m just hoping the nerfs to the other classes will make warrior playable enough :/

Anet devs legit have no idea how to balance their game b/c they don’t play it…

and still gonna be the only usable heal…they need to change the functionality on the other heals before they’re gonna get used

Got to diamond with just warrior, but after that it was pretty much useless to try and play warrior.

I don’t see anything wrong with you queuing against a diamond as a ruby. It’s only 1 division above you…When I was a diamond I queued against legends every other game…

LordOtto.2650:

I will see the big legendary and diamond players when season 2 comes… I should be diamond already, had 25 pips, and 3 times same pre-made… legendary, diamond, ruby, and amber sapphire team… I will see u in season 2, all of you legendary players, I will be then diamond, and you will be stuck at ruby!
I deserve to be at diamond! Not legendary, but diamond 100%.
I have now 21 pips and will get in this season diamond!

Who is this guy? This is the second time I’ve seen him post something like this…does no one see this?

Team plz, this is obvious troll post.

lol, chill and take a moment to read it.

Soloq was fine and got changed cause teamq reasons. In the post your replying to he never even mentions teamq removal and in his other post he says it wont change anyway. His post is accurate.

Your funny.

You right, you right. Had to re-read it a couple times to figure it out though lol
Too many trolls and complaints anymore so I was just jumping to conclusions, I guess.

The PvP pop. isn’t large enough to support team queues

FTFY

Don’t fix something that isn’t broken. The PvP pop. isn’t large enough. If you get rid of team queue in PvP you screw over the people who like to PvP with others; and don’t say they can do that in their own arenas…That’s the same booty thing that Anet did to the GvG scene and look where that went.

Sarrs.4831:

Syde.5961:

I don’t see why that should be done…You aren’t going to be just as good in multiple game modes nor are you going to know the best tactics for each situation in every game mode. It should be separate.

But clearly that means that someone who does know the best tactics for each situation in every game mode is the greatest player alive.

Which is what the leagues are for, right? To find out who is the very best that ever was?

Why you trying to troll me, bro?

I don’t see why that should be done…You aren’t going to be just as good in multiple game modes nor are you going to know the best tactics for each situation in every game mode. It should be separate.

And people wonder why they’re stuck in a certain division.

They should, honestly, seperate conquest and stronghold divisions. They aren’t the same game mode and shouldn’t be considered the same as far as divisions go.

The PvP pop. isn’t large enough to support both team queues and solo queues. The only problem I had with premades was that I might end up facing a legendary as a solo queue sapphire, but this is getting fixed in the next balance patch.

I don’t understand why it’s a competitive map either. It’s too ez to cheese and win with a full premade.

There isn’t a large enough population of PvPers in GW2. So unless you want to increase your already long queue times, I wouldn’t separate team queue and solo queue and I don’t think Anet should. Just learn a couple more classes and builds so you can swap out in order to improve your solo queue composition.

Pass.

just make those who d/c or afk lose pips, don’t make their team lose pips.

Kuya.6495:

I absolutely despise the solo q heroes who decide to go far at start. That kind of strat is a liability in a team composed of solo qers with no coms. A 1-3-1 or 1-0-4 is something that you do with a organized team, not some random nobodies. Going home and mid at start is basic and simple enough that even a solo qer should know what he’s doing without needing to be on a com.

Go far if you’re loosing mid, but please, if you’re in a team composed of solo qers, do not go far. Only instances where i’ve seen this work is where a druid goes far and wins the 1vs1 before reinforcements subsequently causing a win at mid and leading to a 3 cap.

Have you never seen a bunk go for far? It’s one of the best ways to start a match. It’ll be 3 v 4 at mid for a while, but as long as you don’t go too deep at mid right away then you’ll have your home to back you up, and it’ll be a 4v4 soon enough.

I don’t think we need to worry about other games ruining GW2.
The Anet game designers are doing that just fine on their own.

I still get people that think going far is a bad idea in my games…I don’t understand how these people get to diamond+.

Syde.5961:

@BurrTheKing: The only time I fine myself lacking sustain is during team fights. 1 versus 1 scenarios usually fall in my favor, but I get targeted hard during team fights so a 1k heal isn’t gonna help any.

The heal got upped but the real strength of the trait, it’s the 1,000 toughness that makes a surprisingly big difference.

I’ll try it out sometime

DrDivine.5378:

can anyone here really justify why to bring a warrior over anything else?

Warrior is what i’ve been playing since the beginning of the game, it’s by far the class I can play the best. It’s also a ton of fun, and it’d feel a lot better to get legendary as warrior than as a stupid kitten [insert kittened top 5 meta class]

See I had the same outlook up until I got diamond with my warrior. As soon as I got diamond I was going against people, who knew what they were doing. RIP warrior.

I can see where you’re coming from, the only time I stay on my warrior is if my team is lacking a power spec. Otherwise, I swap to reaper.

You probably lost cause you didn’t focus a target.

It was a struggle but I was able to get to diamond by solo queuing.
Also, Anet will most likely never separate queues again b/c their PvP population is so tiny. No one wants to wait 10 – 30 minutes for a queue to pop…
I do believe however that they should separate divisions though. Someone shouldn’t be able to get legendary in stronghold and then screw other people over when they play conquest b/c they’re trash at that game mode.

Aidenwolf.5964:

I whisper them congratulations on cheating a broken system. As a solo Q’r your diamonds mean you grouped and took advantage of a flawed mechanic. I know many of you are good and fun to play with as I’ve been here fo eva but I solo and Anet kitten on my kind.

lol what if that Diamond player is a solo Q Warrior ?

OP seems like the kind of guy who would still trash talk them even if they weren’t on his own team.

I’ve only noticed animations bugs with hundred blades. Such as when I’m using hundred blades and then go berserk, it looks as if you stopped but you still deal damage. Also, when I’m in berserk and weapon swap from axe+shield to greatsword and use my burst too quickly it uses the axe primal burst animation but it’s actually using the greatsword primal burst b/c there’s still a wave of damage that comes from it.

Either 1 or 2, they got to 400 pts so they probably only lost 1 as well if any at all.

Rifle is a horrible weapon unless you run it with the Berserker trait line.

Bump. If it’s of any inclination to you; I just recently got to Diamond with the build I had posted above. Good luck to ya!

I’m legit only a few pips from diamond on my warrior purely through solo queue so I mean if I can do it on my warrior then I have no doubt someone who knows a meta class can too.

SliEagle.9062:

How about taking stronghold off the ranked playlist so teams can’t abuse it to gain points quickly, especially against SoloQ players.

Or just separate the rankings.

So far I’ve made it to t5 of Ruby (All as a Warrior and by solo queuing) and have seen quiet a bit of whining about my warrior. I’m not talking about “oh warrior is underpowered blah blah blah please buff”. I’m talking about the “really? you’re playing a warrior” or “we lost this match because of the warrior”. Sometimes even the other team joins in, saying “thank god the kittened warrior is on the other team this time”. Do you guys, who do this, go around in real life pointing fingers and blaming other people for you’re own wrong doings or go up to people with disabilities and make fun of them? If not, why do it online?
Stop bringing that kind of mentality into your matches. You aren’t going to succeed with that kind of attitude; and it’s going to put the rest of your team into that same rut. Not only does it hurt the team, but having to deal with that kind of bullkitten every single game is tiresome. Just stop, and play the game.

For PvP: if you’re gonna run rifle go balls deep. Cause once you’re focused; you’re gonna be taken out of the fight. Avoid going on point during team fights, unless you’re trying to add pressure on enemy downs with rampage.
