Guild Wars 2

I think this would be a great idea. Definitely could bring back a lot more players back to pvp not to mention opening up a whole new way to play besides queing for conquest all day. Please anet look into this

Completely agree with OP here. it would be amazing for courtyard to have it’s own que regardless of que time. I know many players who enjoy pure pvp (deathmatch) and I would play it all the time.

Tsk tsk..you value yourself so little young friend….

PS- They might not be as “great” as you think…

Usually if the newcomer is a dude id start insulting scrubs like him if he messes up. However, if that newcomer is a chick…then id try to hit on her and get her skype so she could be my gf, which usually costs my team the game. Jajajaja

GVG hype!!!!!!!!! Plz make this in gw2 asap.

Just bring out GvG already with guild halls…the meta will have no option but to change

Well should conquest remain the only pvp for gw2’s remaining lifespan…..then anet plz ensure that every single trait, weapon, and utility skill for each class is properly balanced so they are all equally used in conquest. Moreover, all this must be consistently accomplished at a much quicker pace than its current 3-month balance timeframe. At the same time, plz ensure that pvp remains FUN and provides the proper rewards/incentives so that this one mode can revitalize the current pvp scene.

So Anet plz continue to gamble your success on conquest. I’m sure one day this game mode will magically save pvp and make it the epitome of ultimate fun and excitement.

ANet TY ! Plz give us Mesmers more mobility (access to swiftness) or more deceptive skills (like decoy and mirror images) to really toy around with enemy’s mind! We also lack decent dmg during teamfights since clone AI shatter isn’t accurate ( shatters hit wrong/multiple targets )

I agree with OP that match with Stream Team winning at the last second with an enemy kill was easily the most exciting gw2 match i witnessed. Both teams were rushing enemy lords while there were small skirmishes in the sides to intercept the enemy split along with few players trying to hold that midpoint all while the time was steadily running down. Any small mistake would’ve cost them the game. It was an overall thrill to watch that!

1. GVG +guild halls/ More PvP Modes

2. PvP Legendaries

3. Overall class balance and fixes to certain specs

4. Introduce newer weapons/skills for classes

5. Trading post guy in the mists

jajajajajajajaja

Watchout guys we’re dealing with a legendary illusionist here…

the solo que this week is sooo crap ! Soo many gold pve farmers only fighting the first thing they see whether it be off or on point and dying under 10 sec, and when the score is unfavorable..they just leave, so its 4v3 5v3 5v4, never 5v5

the gvg matches were really exciting to watch especially the last 2 matches of the finals, and I really hope there’s more in the future!

My top 3 streamers are:
Helseth
Countless
Caed

I hope they make both 20v20 and 5v5/8v8 to appeal both sides of the pvp community. Anything new at this point will benefit the state of pvp

RIP IN PEACE PVP GW2 !

You really don’t know what RIP stands for..

Roflcopter! This brightened up my day ty xD

Why don’t people give it a try in custom arena with organized 5v5, 6v6, etc… in Legacy of the Foefire, turn off the capture nodes, and killing enemy lord is the only way to win

I guess more rules could be added later, but at least start from the basics.

Hello, we are a new Tpvp team that are steadily recruiting active tpvp’ers to form a core team and get better.

Current roster consists of: S/D Thief, D/P Thief, Engie, Bunker Ranger

Looking for a Bunker Guardian, Ele, Mesmer, and Necro.

The overall motive is to recruit 5+ members and then narrow down to the core members depending on who remains active and consistent during our tpvp hours.

Times: Our tpvp time starts at around 10-11 PM EST and we use Teamspeak

Contact: If you’re interested in joining feel free to reply, or pm/mail @ Vence.6974

Thanks!

Sry to say but comparing the pvp of gw1 to gw2 is like comparing a godzilla to a chicken…..Yes, it’s obvious that unlike its predecessor, gw2 was not built around pvp but mainly pve, and the state of pvp clearly reflects this intention. Yet, gw2 also has that unique, powerful potential to easily become one of the best/popular pvp models in the market should anet choose to dedicate more time and energy into the competitive side.

Actually amidst all the cluster of aoe and players, an asura can successfully blend in with the surrounding chaos and get a stomp without being noticed….that right there is one of the crucial advantages of being sooo tiny

1) More game modes! (Conquest is getting stale)

2) Actual Solo Que (No reason for pairing randoms against premades)

3) Add a Team/Guild Leaderboard (Solo que players can strive for the existing individual leaderboards while the premades can compete for the team leaderboards)

Now personally i’d be the happiest player if they did input gw1 style gvg in gw2, but that huge transition from one style of pvp to another is not going to lure much of the pve’rs. If gw2 pve players wanted to try out gvg, then they would have to re-learn everything from new mechanics, movements, and skills to even catch a glimpse of what’s goin on.

However, this would greatly increase the overall pvp player base as many gw1 and gw2 teams whom left would surely return. It’s just that the constant switch from gw1 and gw2 pvp would be extremely hard for new players to get into.

I’m a girl btw.

If you were a car door, i’d slam you all day long….baby

My friend only uses a Sword with no offhand on his thief because he feels its more honorable that way…

Na blackpowder will only get you out maybe first or second blast? Who’s gonna run out of initiative first? The black powder thief or infiltrator’s? Also, I don’t need to stand in the radius as long as my sword can hit you from the outside, which it does, and as a thief, it doesn’t take much sword hits to kill another one. Plus landing backstab means going into stealth first, which means ill set up infiltrator’s shadow step ready before that happens. The only chances d/any thieves had was their mug to crit and land the same time as heartseaker or cloak, but now that’ll be gone.

Lol plz a good S/D thief will beat a good D/any thief any day simply because when you combine sword with some acrobatics, you literally become the fastest profession in the game. You’re the most agile with infiltrator’s, FS, withdraw, shadowstep/roll for initiative. You can get to anywhere really fast assuming you have a shortbow, and even without it, you still have high endurance regen, swiftness on dodge, and infinite teles. Not to mention, you do extremely high steady dmg with your auto attack and can strip (soon steal) boons at will. The really kool part bout this spec is its ability to sync well with any utilities you prefer (deceptions, stealth, signets, and even traps) yea thats rite, traps too because infiltrator’s teles you too an enemy and while they’re immobilized, just set the trap and watch it activate instantly.

A bunker mesmer can go minutes holding back point in any 1v1 situation. By that I mean it has to be a bunker specced mesmer not a shatter or a phantasm one. It takes a really long time to kill mesmers like these 1v1 and most likely one will never be able to kill it unless your elite like moa or thieves guild is up. Yet, as soon as it becomes 2v1, the bunker mesmer unlike bunker guardians will drop instantly.

Nope, anet don’t completely remove hotjoins. Both can easily coexist

For me, I just want to hop on to pvp sometimes solo or with my friends and have fun in that moment without thinking too much on progression, ranks, etc… So yea if you throw in all the armors and weapons and take out rank, I can still enjoy it.

But as things are rite now, it’s feeling very stale, so i’m hoping that custom arenas will let us turn off capture nodes to try different modes

I was hands down the best FA Assassin in da game…luxon of course…everybody knows the kurz were inferior in pvp :0

Thats how it was and is with gw1 guild ladder where if a top 50 guild just lost to rank 900+ then the higher ranking guild will drop by 100-200 ranks while the lesser team will rise just as much.

Hmmm…..fair enough!

But lol still, suppose they don’t apologize, what’s gonna happen then? Yet, then again, let’s suppose that they do apologize, what’s gonna change?

Lol wut..nooooooooo

Probably not intentional but khylo sure has a lot of bugs around the clock-tower. Either that, or you got stomped by an invisible thief who was in refuge, stumbled across your downed body, and finished you while all along you thought it was someone inside the tower

Anet aside from mobility buffs and boon hate, you should also consider a Sword offhand weapon set for us thieves, and then no one will doubt our versatility.

Yeaaaa now my thief can rock the quad signet spec!

I need a guest invite to anvil rock. Im one of the top NA thief.

Dont remove them, or atleast not in spvp/tpvp because isn’t the ultimate point of pvp to earn that recognition from armor, weapons, finishers, and TITLES and just show off? The fact that other people can just see your achievement without having to click on your toon is one of the cool edges of gw2 that keeps me motivated.

Right on OP i completely agree with how bad of a mistake anet made when nerfing the thief skill haste. Might as well switch the name from haste to self-destruct because hey thats what it is. You lose all endurance for a speed buff that is no longer effective enough to make much of a difference. The debuff was made to compensate for the original version of haste, so logic says that the newer, slower version of haste should have a less serious debuff or an additional positive effect to make up for it.

Sword/Dagger thief doesn’t feel the same anymore with this “haste.” S/d wasn’t even op to begin with, so by further nerfing this, you made people role to the extreme ( you’re either a full on bunker or a 1-shot glass cannon) because let’s face it, anything in the middle just won’t cut it anymore. If something more specific like time warp was the problem, then you could’ve just modified that instead of changing an entire mechanic that affects multiple classes/wep sets.

If they can’t think of anything…just increase its recharge rate and decrease the debuff time

If there is nothing that anet does to compensate for the longer debuff, then this will be one of the worst nerfs by far. As a thief, using haste meant you were prepared to die because fighting with no endurance is not safe at all, you are a sitting duck unless you had a get-away skill to use. Grant a positive effect that compensates for the lower dmg and longer debuff and then this update will be considered fair.

Nerfing quicknes? You’re just asking to diminish any last hopes an honorable S/D thief has in pvp because without quickness, you’re basically swinging a pillow (too slow to do any considerable damage).
Yes I seriously think that a quickness nerf would destroy any remaining versatility of a thief and just result in more 1-shot assassins.

They should do something like the closer your team gets to 500 points, the more points your team member’s deaths are worth for the opposing team. For instance, if team A stands at 400 pts while team B is down at 250 pts, then team B should get like 15-20 pts for each team A member they kill whereas team A would still get only 5 pts per kill. Yet, if team B manages to comeback and the score now reads team A 480 pts and team B 405 pts, then both teams can get 15-20 pts for each opposing member they kill.

This way a team winning by a large margin has to stay alert because both secondary objectives and the above point idea can allow for sharp turnarounds. This would not work in hotjoin but can provide better tpvp.

Lololol i dont know bout yall, but im making tons of gold just by tpvp, get chests, get mats, turn the mats into rare dyes and sell em away! Yesterday i got 3 rares in a row, i think my account is just blessed

Hmmmmm….fair enough..

Ma boi ensoriki we meet yet again!! Yea good suggestion…but we meet again!!!hahaha
