PIP EotM

in WvW

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

The idea of Pips was to get people playing WvW again in the long term, not so they could ktrain it in eotm.

Unfortunately, WvW has now become ktrain central, ironically. Once the new influx of PvErs gain their desired rewards, the WvW population will dwindle further.

Suggestion: Re-evaluating PPK

in WvW

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

Am I the only one that doesn’t PPK for loot or reward track, but just the excitement of the hunt?

They could implement all they want, reducing EXP or loot or reward track...id still PPK as much then as I do now. Its the thrill of the hunt/kill for me. The loot/exp is just a small bonus to me...thats all.

+1. I am in it for the HUNT. I was raised into MMO systems that comprised of open-world PK, inventory dropped on death, and de-level on death. I will roam til I find your soul. I would go so far as to suggest that ANET implement a truly open-world PK system of Tyria, but we all know ANET are carebears and cater to their PVE population and thus, will likely never happen. In any case, WvW is the closest thing to this ideology.

If I can benefit my server from doing what I do, then thats a bonus to the server. As for loot or PPK or any other point scheme goes, I honestly dont care. I’ll still hunt you.

Long live KOS (kill-on-sight) lists.

DB Matching This Week

Mag is the No.1 killer of WvW.

Thanks for the inspirational quote.

This can’t be fun for Maguuma

Oh, don’t worry. Maguuma had plenty of fun wiping you guys tonight.

A for effort, though - BG has been avoiding fighting us for months.

Says the server that just ran from BG. Must be fun to make up your own version of reality. These guys started losing again had a tantrum and took their ball and went home so they could farm lower servers, just sad.

Maguuma take break because BG hide. Not fun when server won’t play. But when Maguuma take break, BG come back and fight, then say they good.

Maguuma overstacked and gets to be matched with BG. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and all that. Now that you’ve tanked and bamboozled Anet into lowering your glicko, you’ll just steamroll t2 and t3 for a month and end up matched with BG again. Congrats I guess?

When Maguuma is in tier 1 again, BG will run and hide, and cycle continues.

When Maguuma is in tier 1 again BG will continue to dominate like always causing lesser servers to tank thier rating and make excuses on the forums.

Uhm, no. While we kept vs’ing BG every single week for months = BG didn’t dominate, MAG did. After first month or so BG completely gave up, didn’t provide fights nor interest to play. Only now, the last 2 weeks, when BG heard that we’re tanking, suddenly BG got their forces back and went full tryhard PPT like never before lmao. Well it’s my perspective how I saw it, and I’m pretty sure others aswell, that played daily.

Oh boy they are really laying it on thick. You lost get over it. Have fun farming the lower tiers everyone knew you couldn’t hang in the big leagues.

We will, thanks. Have fun chest-thumping on empty doors.

Maguuma "working as intended".

New Scoring System

in WvW

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

It seems that is the trend in T1 and T2. What’s the point of defending, building any siege, or getting rid of a waypointed keep if after all that effort, the enemy still gets 1st in the skirmish and gets rewarded double the points. Meanwhile, the weaker server which may have done nothing or, even worse, harrassed you the whole time, gets the same amount of points.

I can’t speak for TC, but BG just stopped trying early on. I don’t have any ears in T2, but judging by the score, it seems the same there as well.

This has also affected the amount of roamers out there. If the contribution of small groups is gonna amount to diddly squat, then what’s the point? Gold means a lot more to small groups as they don’t have a large guild to contribute to siege and food. Sure, you can roam around and get into fights, but how long will it be until you find someone? Better to just go into PvP.

Wake up, Anet! Look at the scores!

There’s nothing wrong with the current scores. I simply moved from Blackgate to Maguuma. Coincidentally, Maguuma reached #1 same week I transferred. There’s more to a player than just his skillful gameplay. Same goes for in a war.

Upcoming Changes to Skills

in PvP

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

Lots of great feedback in this thread! I see a lot of concern about the nerfs to revenant so I would like to discuss those a bit more.

Surge of the Mists is a skill that does everything. It evades attacks, is a massive cc, and does a huge amount of damage. The defensive capability and cc fit well with the rest of the staff set, so we felt the damage was the best spot to bring the skill down a bit. 50% is certainly a big reduction, but consider just how much damage this skill does right now. Even after the nerf it will still take a chunk out of a squishy’s health bar, in addition to providing cc setup for another skill (and teammates).

Precision Strike is another skill that we felt did too much damage on its own, particularly when all 3 projectiles hit one player. This is another case of a big reduction on a skill that does a ton of damage, resulting in a skill that still does a reasonable amount of damage.

In general, revenant isn’t lacking in sources of damage. Unrelenting Assault, Facets of Strength, Elements, and Chaos, Equilibrium, and sword autoattack are all strong damage skills as well. Precision Strike and Surge of the Mists will continue to bring relevant damage to the table, so rev should still have plenty of damage to go around.

With that said, we will definitely be keeping a close eye on things going into the season.

This is what we get when a dev plays pvp and understands it. Good things happen.

In light of other nerfs, can we see a shave on pulmonary impact’s damage? It is too easy for a thief to randomly interrupt a skill without having any of their own.

*As a thief main, btw

Forget the shave, if you select impacting disruption and do not interrupt your next headshot should cost double the initiative.

If you suggest this, then let me in return suggest entire removal of "reveal" debuff on thieves. Thieves have very limited defensive skills as is outside of acro Staff builds.

Also, still have yet to see Coalescence of Ruin (Rev skill) being touched. Spammable 1200 range skill that can easily surpass 10-12K damage is a bit overwhelming.

@OP:

ANET imposes that PvP/WvW players do PvE content (quite overwhelming amount) to get legendary weapons and PvE raids (BORING...) to get legendary armor. Its only fair that the PvE community be forced to do some PvP/WvW to share in our pains. In fact, they should introduce more PvP/WvW locked methods to acquire parts of legendaries (weapons and armors), IMHO.

JQ and BG OPEN AGAIN!!!

I love this. They have less population than a T4 server link, yet still number 1 by a long shot and absolutely destroys their competition. It goes to show that they’re the server that has WvW figured out.

To all those that are confounded by Blackgate’s success as an enduring T1 server: the secret of Blackgate lies in their resilient roamer and militia population that continues to serve as the backbone of the server. Once your typical [insert BIG NAME] guild is done with their "2-hour raid", who do you think takes up the baton and deals with the brunt of the enemy forces for the remaining duration? The days of server dictatorships are long gone. The roamers and militia rule the lands now.

Blackgate recruiting more quality roamers. #BGroamerparadise

@Tyyphoon.5301 - Didn’t you transfer to TC once and you told everyone in map chat you left BG because BG was toxic GG

No, I moved to SoR. Get your facts straight. I moved from SoR to TC with HIRE and the entire SoR exodus. I also helped coordinate a 2v1 on BG during season 2 WvW. But I have been back on BG (my native server) for 2 years now. If you want me to be dangerous, I can be. Your choice.

JQ and BG OPEN AGAIN!!!

Blackgate and Jade Quarry both opened because they were below the population cap. Blackgate currently has a smaller population than Jade Quarry and some of the combined linked worlds populations (combined linked worlds population example being Crystal Desert + Darkhaven + Devona’s Rest combined has a higher population than Blackgate). With all that being said, we do keep track of the transfers that happen. Since we have been seeing an increase in transfer behavior with the past 2 world links, we are discussing whether we want to change how we calculate WvW world populations or if we want to lower the WvW population caps.

Thank you, McKenna for the quantitative insights. Cheers. =)

Analysis on Thief changes. Acro and more!

Tyyphoon.5301

Agreed on all accounts here.
I’m still a big advocate of having Cloak and Dagger (dagger #5 for those unaware) to put a Blind on the enemy hit with it. Not only would it help S/D, it’d also go miles for (power) D/D users.

Totally agree with that suggestion. The blind on stealth trait helped make D/D viable in WvW back before HoT, but with the new DD trait line, the SA trait line just doesn’t fit like it used to. A blind on CnD would go a long way.

Yes, this used to be a feature of the old build, but now it competes with regen in stealth. I played some games as power d/d and it was fun, but it just doesn’t compare to any of our other sets in terms of viability. Off-hand dagger is the perfect place to buff.

Blind-on-stealth was viable for any off-hand dagger build (i.e. D/D, P/D, and S/D). Only reason D/D is still viable is due to condi spambotting as is the current GW2 meta. Sadly the other 2 builds, especially S/D suffers most from losing out on CnD blind-on-stealth. That was indeed an imperative skill for melee thieves.

WTB Ranked Qs

Ranked is as much of a joke as unranked with the current balance of condi vs. power (im)balance. And another league season should not be considered until the imbalance is addressed for condi v. power. People get tired of watching condi spambots, let alone playing it or against it.

Bring back SoloQ and tPvP separation from the old days. And get rid of that ranked Stronghold crap; or better yet, lets have ranked Stronghold be a map in the ESL map rotation.

You would think after 3 years, Arena Net would comprehend dmg focused condition dmg does not work in their game, since they have no clue on how to balance it out.

It’s pathetic to even try to put GW2 in a “esport” competitive light with the current mechanics in place.

But it looks like Arena Net rather listen to their Twitch.TV shrills who are absolute terrible when it comes to game mehanics.

Developers hanging out in their Arena Net sponsored twitch streams working on marketing rather listening to the majority who pay and play.

Most of Arena Net’s sponsored streamers don’t even play Guild wars 2, the regulars only seem to play a tiny aspect, such as someone who I wont name, who only roams and is very Bias and negative towards any other aspect of guild wars 2.

Other sponsored streamers out right bash guild wars 2.

Are these the people they get information from?? I hope not.

Premades vs Pugs - ANet

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

I want the solo queue back. I don’t care about my wait times but going against Premades isn’t fair for pugs. Even if the Pre is only 3 players that is still too many.

Solo players didn’t have to wait very long to get into a match back in the day when solo and team was split into 2. There was always a lot more solo players than team players, merging them together was for the benefit of team players so THEY could get in more quickly and at the cost of solo players no longer having fair matches but instead getting farmed by premades...nice system isn’t it

Likewise. I have nostalgia for the old PvP system myself with SoloQ and Team PvP systems separate. Those were the PvP golden days. Which ever idiot(s) that got the bright idea of merging it into the current system, should be fired IMHO.

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

ANET needs to address proper class balance before they even consider another league system. The class balance right now is a joke. Consequently, making leagues a joke. Throw in the absurdly illogical MMR/matchmaking algorithm currently in place where PvE players can outrank traditional PvP players either due to class carry or build carry, and well....cant get any worse....or can it? Try getting queued up all day against 3-4 or even 5 necros/reapers in back-to-back matches in Diamond rank soloQ.

Might want to revisit condition/power balance that was actually fair some ~2-2.5 years back?

And for the love of God, please delete ranked Stronghold. Either include it in a real ESL tournament or remove it. Who even comes up with this stuff?

Forgot to add. I cannot believe this thread is even being considered by ANET. Laughable. So much politically correct BS these days. Lol.

Let alone a dev actually responded to it trying to set a ruling. Pathetic.

This is ridiculous. If Anet starts banning people for this I’m out.

Spoilers for movies is not against the EULA/ToS.

If you can’t handle the internet, unplug your network cable.

Bunch of crybabies with first-world problems.

Leagues were suppose to be for Guild Teams

in PvP

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

Let’s not forget that being able to create a guild pvp team is a new feature in HoT added for League play! When ArenaNet originally talked about Leagues it was all about Guild Teams and the initial information was that Leagues would be exclusive to Guild Team play… That would have made a lot of sense and solved the problems. Instead someone decided to allow soloQ players to enter the League play waters, polluting the lower divisions.

The waters were polluted long before when Anet removed SoloQ and tPvP.

"We gotta nerf Thief. Somehow."
"Well we tried steal, but the outcry was potent. How about a utility?"
"Brilliant, ah here is one. Shadowstep. How about-"

Welcome to 2k15.

^This. F*** off thieves already! Anet, go nerf some noob-friendly classes, for once. GDI.

So....

If we continually focus on making systems easier to advance within for the sole sake of feeling good about having advanced rather than focusing more on becoming more skilled not just as players but as people, we will continue to perpetuate a culture which rewards rather than dissuades feelings of entitlement.

Lol. I stopped reading after this. You think GW2 is about skill right now? You must be delusional. What skill is involved in spamming condi AoE and button-mashing? Do tell. Because currently there is this lame "Cancer Bunker" meta. What once used to be a promising game and skillful gameplay in GW2 is rapidly deteriorating, if not already. IIRC, recently an ESL EU pro league team with 2 condi revenants defeated another team with score of 500-0. Taking nothing away from the winning team, but this is more of a wanting issue regarding GW2 mechanics and development, or lack thereof.

Also, there is no "skill" involved in intentionally tanking your MMR for the purposes of farming easy PIPs for tPvP league advancement nor farming soloQers as premades.

Please revert back ALL nerfs to thieves. Ever wonder how much micro-managing and gameplay experience goes into playing a solid thief compared to other more "user-friendly" classes?

Anet Pls.

Steal Nerf, Are you for real, ANet?

Steal now requires a target in order to use? Are you kittening kidding me, ANet?

Not even on the kittening patch notes.

kitten off.

Seriously, why nerf a class that is not even represented in GW2 ESL Pro League (ie. EU ESL Pro League had NO thieves, IIRC). I’m so livid right now. What kind of logic is this exactly? The one skill that remained untouched is now tainted due to moronic decision making. Please elucidate the proposed logic. Why not nerf the condi-spamming classes that run rampant in this game nowadays? #FailLogic.

thiefs stolen skill from revenant

in Thief

Posted by: Tyyphoon.5301

Tyyphoon.5301

I like how the only thing we steal from the revenant is their down skill ... What happened to us?

^This.

This have to be a joke,

Since when do we steal downed state skills from a living character ? Seriously, among the number of skills the revenant has access to, we steal a downed one ... with an "improved" 1s slow.

Waouh, even stealing from bunnies seems way better than this.


And this ^.

Thus far, most thief stolen skills represented counters to respective classes. I cannot fathom how a slow skill in any way or form will counteract a revenant (considering how powerful revenants are on beta tests, as is). Please reconsider this futile stolen skill, ANet.
