I don’t see how anything you just said would not still apply if smart, team-focused play didn’t offer the same rewards as zerging?

Doing a ‘great job’ should be reflected on the scoreboard, imo.

it is reflected on the score board as a win. Stop the carrot on the stick pvp gear grind mindset. They should just get rid of individual score, make it a team score and base the glory you recieve on the win or loss.

at least then they’ll concentrate on reviving downed teammates and trying to win then their stupid kitten and ZOMGWTFPWNAGE

I have had this game where I was defending a point for the whole round of 10 minutes after capping it. As a defensive player who does not deal much damage but is extremely tough and always keeps standing on the point to keep my team’s colour, while fighting two enemies the whole match.
I was basically keeping 2/8 enemy players from capping that point and thus I made the enemy team gain less points than my team and made my team fight 7 on 6.
I was definitely credit to my team, but my score did not reflect that effort. I surely had lots of fun keeping them off the point, but seeing myself at the lower end of the scoreboard does not encourage me to do that again.

The score should reflect the individual players’ part of participation in working towards the 500 points. It currently does not.

Lightning flash isn’t breaking immobilization, it warps you but you still have the remaining condition duration.

I would assume this is working as intended, since all Cantrips break Stun and not Immobilisation. Even though the “Breaks Stun” symbol is clearly a symbol which looks like it would break Immobilisation* which is very confusing.

(Immobilisation is a chain symbol, while Break Immobilisation is the same symbol but the chain is broken)

Glyph of Renewal (general)
This skill can revive defeated players. No other skill can do that so I’m assuming it’s a bug.
Also, the earth attunement version sometimes rezzes all 3 players at full health. No idea if it’s related to switching attunements or whatever.

It does not revive defeated players in sPvP for me. So either this is a bug or what you just said.
It’s very useful with Earth Attunement in WvWvW. Would be great in sPvP too.

Oh yes. Today I kept the enemy team several times for minutes from capping a point alone vs two or three at times.
I got 0 points in the process, since my build just does no damage, but has a high survivability.
It was fun, but I was saddened a bit that I got no points for doing what I just did.

This does not encourage players to defend points or even sacrifice themselves in the process. I think this needs changing.
