Guild Wars 2

TC was the subject to 3 major bandwagons that kept it in T1. After the Malevolent hostile take over of TC bandwagon died no one else wanted to go to TC anymore because they got tired of the care bears there. So TC got farmed and died. It wasn’t glicko manipulation from anet it was glicko manipulation caused by malevolent himself.

This is obviously a troll post. OnS? TW? lol i don’t think so. Half og your guilds on that list got rolled by VR literally 1 pushed.

I am sorry about this but these are the people that anet listens too. People who don’t know how to play the game and its the reason warrior is trash now.

Warrior is just bad right now. I like how they made core warrior stronger, but you needed beserker to be competitive and it wasn’t competitive vs equal skilled players before.

Not a good example cuz keep lord damage is insane like that anyways.

It needs work, disable gliding while in combat would be a step in the right direction.

Tinnel thats because you don’t know the intricacies of warrior class.

When you are a warrior You are stuck to discipline trait line. Becasue the short CDs of your skills require fast hands for rotations in PVE, and for PVP u are needing warrior sprint and fast hands as well as other traits in there to be competatiove.

If it is PVE that is not a problem because u will take Berserk and another offensive traitline.

But if its PVP or WVW than you are mandatory stuck to taking defense and discipline.

So you take berserker spec that means whenever you are not in zerk you are basically just a weaker or kitten warrior becasue you don’t have str traitline or arms or somthing offensive.

You cannot just tell a warrior then don’t activate berserk becasue without it they are nothing. The condi spam in those game modes is too high and without proper cleanising which CI has never been enough alone you cannot play.

Why would a company drive away their player base and make them angry, by gutting professions to make them unplayable. Like berserk spec on warrior.

Is the plan to make it so no one wants to buy your products. Seems like a good idea to me idk about you guys. Good luck getting me to buy your expansion.

You cannot adapt to these changes with berserk spec, no sustain and no condi cleanse is not adaptable.

I’m not buying the expansion just because of this and am quiting the game.

Quitting a game over a balance patch? Your loss.

(not even saying it was a good one)

no gain no loss. The only person losing here is you and it will be your time, money. Instead of trying to flame me try thinking long an hard for a more witty response.

I’m not buying the expansion just because of this and am quiting the game.

Desert BL is just a bad map because logistically in getting anywhere its excessively distance+obstacles, and no point to getting there.

camps and shrines are the only tactical structures and shrines are totally unnecessary feature that makes the game even more detestable when you don’t own them and they are totally unnecessary. to have put in the game.

That being said sure a Druid can put out heals, but a druid doesn’t heal better than a tempest and lacks the cc and utility of a tempest so ya.

It was my understanding that a druid heals more than a tempest. I guess it’s arguable if giving up what a tempest brings is worth it, but anyone not wanting a druid in their PUG frontline party is a complete and utter idiot. It’s not like these types of differences mean anything when you account for player experience and skill.

This isn’t pve raid, this is wvw where people do moves and do spread. Tempest heals much better in the given situations while giving more than what druid could bring. It isn’t arguable, it is a fact, is the same reason why some people would want magi tempest for matt raid.

I’m not talking about raid healing builds, what am I an idiot?

Read.

I said you can argue one way or the other whether giving up a tempest is worth it, but a druid can heal more. That’s the point, it’s not that important. Not wanting a frontline druid in a PUG is just ignorance.

Druids don’t heal more than tempests. People just don’t use tempests as healers in PVE.

Last stand is great until all you run into is condi mesmers, thiefs, and burn guards and condi ranger trash and then its a non helpful trait. Considering that accoutns for 90% of the roamers u will runinto its just bad unless u arre dueling.

Last stand isn’t meta tho. It certainly isn’t meta in spvp not that warrior is even meta anymore.

I never wrote in this thread anything about brawlers recovery, Pls read.

Actually the problem is that the builds the theifs and rangers can run that comes up everytime in defense of them being kicked no one runs. Why? becasue thiefs and rangers are primarily gank and roaming classes and those builds are terrible at roaming and ganking people.

That being said sure a Druid can put out heals, but a druid doesn’t heal better than a tempest and lacks the cc and utility of a tempest so ya.

Thiefs can run venom share, but they need to be supported in the same way a necro, a rev or a warrior needs to be supported and there is not room in a comp for them becasue they end up taking a slot better suited for a rev or somthing.

Learn how to play the game,

1st off I am not a new player, and your build would get trashed in any large scale fight becasue u have no stun breaks except for EP, U have passive stability that you have zero control over. What part do you think having zero control over when you do and on’t have stability is good? It’s pretty bad. Thats the truth.

You have no condi cleanse except for a signet ok hello? That is not enough condi clear when your boon duration is terribly low. Maybe if you had very High boon duration and could have like next to perma resistance you can get buy with no condi clear. On top of that you are using rampage, do you know how easy it is to condi up a warrior running rampage and just kite them out.

Your build can do 1v1? Small roaminging when you are extreemly careful who and what you are engaging? So what? Big deal. Maybe this is how you play the game so thats fine for you.

Last stand is a terrible trait choice in conjunction with no stun breaks besides EP. Might be ok in 1v1 vs classes without CC. WvW is not 1v1.

The Assassins Accessories are pointless becasue this isn’t PVE.

The endurance refill food is alright, I use it sometimes but I think with an energy sigil and signet of stamina, and the building momentum trait is overboard, and I would take meta 10% dmg reduction food regardless.

I think the newer Magnanimous sharpening stones are better.

The Hydro/Leeching Combo from my experience got nerfed maybe I am just imagining things, but the whole reason people used to do that is becasue Hydro would always proc the leeching becasue it always hit the ground. Last time I tested this Hydro didn’t proc leeching just by wep swapping and procing the ground. I think Blood is better now if thats the case.

All of that is just really my opinion. I think if u went more in the Direction of boon duration and used like concentration sigils maybe, and boon duration on stack sigils, U don’t need the signet of stamina except for duels somtimes becasue u can get your resistance duration really high,

Lately our server has been in T3 and T2 this is ridiculous. We are a T1 server and it’s not fair that you give other servers links but give us nothing.

Props to that eupohria guy, hes right you should get better at the game.

there was a warrior that posted the boss solo here.

Definitely don’t come to mag if u cant handle cd there are no safe spaces here.

Ok I Did It.2854:

Honestly I suspect the people who love the DBL like to K-train and avoid all fights,

The DBL is to big for this game, it would be ideal if the map could have 200v200v200 players, then maybe, but as the game engine would likely explode the lag that it would generate would be felt in Cursed Shore,

Hopefully if they do make a new map with the new expansion it wont be so big, it will also promote more open field battles, im thinking of a capture the flag style thing, where your team has to be on x point to get points, where no siege can be placed, thus promoting open field battles.

How does it promote k-training, realy is there any argument that you can make to back that asumption.
Even siege cant be put into a tower to attack a keep which forces the attacker to put it out in the open, but can also put it in uncounterable positions so that defender has to come out of the keep to defend it or lose a wall.

Biggest problem is that there is no goal to WvW, which means that easiest manners will be taken(blobs). You just have to Split up to cover the whole map, which makes me Wonder if you arent the one that likes k-training.

Fyi i stop playing as soon as there is lag, which can be 50v50 with current levels of condi spam.

Like stated in my previous post, atleast try the map before critisizing

Since very few players play it, it’s a map that players go to ktrain on. That map makes it easier to ktrain by making towers and keeps harder to defend.

There are more gates and destructible walls than normal structures. The structures are also much bigger making it more difficult to counter with siege. It also takes a lot longer to run from point a to point b to defend something than other maps.

Another thing is the terrain and the size of the objectives makes it easyer to sneak around undetected unlike other maps. in a normal tower or keep it takes a few seconds to figure out what wall of gate is being hit. On this map it might take u several minutes. All of these points I made together make the map promote ktraining.

In the orginal incarnation of the map we had things like the mega laser which only purpose was to promote ktraining and have a cheese tactic to make it a PPT map.

Last with the shrines, and all of the veteran creatures events, the number of objectives is like twice as many as a normal map making it a easy map to just run around and cap things.

AN can you find a way to give 90% or w/e playerbase a reason to play desert BL.

It’s true NA/EU kill death stats are posted on reddit every week and almost nobody plays this map.

There is a very minor vocal community that enjoys this map so I think it maybe a good idea to keep it.

Here is my suggestions.
. Remove all of the shrines

. Each keeps jump pads baseline

. 33% movement speed is baseline for the entire map.

. Remove Fire Keep Teleporting, Replace it with

.Invulnerable Fall damage Baseline

.Baseline invulnerable Fall damage from Air Keep

.Baseline Invulnerable fall damage for Garrison.

.Delete or reduce the number of all the PVE creatures on the map.

Ok bro, I know what you’re talking about but I remember that it was Celestial Axe/Bow with shouts.

Shouts are better now but they are still bad unless you have healing power. Even then they are pretty bad, except for shake it off, that’s the only decent shout imo.

Coincidentally after I read the patch notes I was thinking the same thing but I didn’t think shouts would be good enough becasue the condis are too aids now. Instead I was thinking the new trait is a double blast finisher and it would be 6 stacks of might instead of 3. With the right sigils and stuff I figured it would not be hard at all to 25 stacks of might.

So I tried this build today in World vs World. It’s not the best obviously but it was really fun. I can get 25 stacks of might really fast and it hits Pretty hard. Just no mobilitys.

Nerfs are one thing, tossing a class in the trash can is entirely differn’t.

There is no counterbalance to the changes, giving shield bash or headbutt 100 more range is just giving the player even more opportunity at avoiding them rather than to counterbalance how badly it nerfed them.

Perhaps if shield bash was givin some utility or secondary use besides just a control effect than it could still be useful. Or make more changes to the weapon skills besides AXE becasue AXE is not the only weapon warriors use.

The base problem with warrior and why they depend on CC to set up bursts is because warrior weapons have no utility to them on their own. All warrior weapons skills simply do dammage with only very small minor exceptions.

If your going to nerf something that was reasonably balanced before the buff needs to be something more than just giving a skill 100 range longer, or giving the warrior more might.

It is very unreasonable to dumpster a class that is deemed overpowered that strugles to fight other classes like Theifs and Revenants and Guardians to begin with but not nerfing those classes to make it fair.

ANET your developers went out of their way to make sure the tells for the warrior skills were so obvious that you would have to be ignoring them not to see…

3/4 cast time on head butt is too much. 1/2 second was already reasonable, same goes for shield bash.

The game is 5 years old at no point was shield bash in 5 years considered too strong, so that is the reasoning that the changes are nonsensical.

ANET if you can argue logic that it took you 5 years to think shield bash needed a nerf than go for it. Until then Stop caving to bad players who complain that they get rekt by a warrior becasue they are bad at the game. And dumpstering a class just becasue it looks politically correct to do so

My attempt at making the new Wolf Pelt work.

Sigil of Bounty buff disapears when swapping weapons.

Not really main reason guardian is used is becasue it is the source of group stability so the group can push.

Theres a difference between, pugmanding/textmanding disorganized pugs on random classes and gear and ktraining, and what is considered actual commanding a group of competent players and going for fights. Just pining up is just that I wouldn’t call that commanding.

Thank you for your contribution to my post, but it would appear your reply answers nothing that I was seeking.

Your questions already been answered by other posters. Guardian. My post was simply to help you see that If you just want to pin up and ktrain anything works. If you are serious about the game its guard. Already been answered 100, million times in the last 5 years.

Half of the WvW servers are dead, and only serve a purpose to facilitate cheap transfers for players wanting to overstack host servers for easy wins, or to be carried by numbers.

My definition of active is a lot differn’t than Namers obviously, I have been to T1-2-3-4 and 3 and 4 are not very active 4 is the least. Some of the T2 servers are also not really that active.

Basically the game is on life support.

Theres a difference between, pugmanding/textmanding disorganized pugs on random classes and gear and ktraining, and what is considered actual commanding a group of competent players and going for fights. Just pining up is just that I wouldn’t call that commanding.

It’s a vocal minority that loves DBL. EU/NA Kills/Death stats are posted every week on WvW Reddit and show that it’s the least played map.

It is the least played map simply becasue the logistics of the map are bad compared to the other 2 maps. And the way the map is layed out makes avoiding fights easyer. Lastly the mechanics of the NPCs is overtuned compared to the other 2 maps. Thats how the map sits now. Thats not even considering how the map was at launch.

On a side note, not only does every tower, and keep have too many destructible walls, but getting to them in the first place takes too long. Which makes defending a nightmare, when the map feels like it was designed to make it easy for players to sneak around. All of the objectives are simply too big and spread out in addition to.

It’ is a bad map.

Maguuma never played DBL.

There is a item, you combine with a normal hero weapon to make it into a mistforged. Same item is used to turn the normal hero armor to the mistforged. That iten already exists. ANET said they haven’t decided how to release it. I think that personally its not that cool and they should just release a way to get it.

People keep asking for the tournaments to come back to get the item but this is stupid. You can’t have tournaments with balance so bad in every aspect of the game.

Theres no way to enforce those guilds to not voltron.

I understand the OPs problem with being spotted. But I don’t understand the issue with being spotted as long as you don’t hang around a tower or go to an obvious objective while you are marked. To me this is a feature of the game, and the solution is learning to play with that feature enabled.

Definition of PPT is PVE
1st Part
Hitting a non player controlled structure such as a wall or a gate, with a piece of shiege that replaces the players skills. Killing a non player enemy. PVE

2nd Part
Sitting in an objective on a piece of siege waiting for an enemy to come, that replaces the players skills.

^^^^^^^This is not fun to me or any of the players that I play with becasue we come to WvW to kill other players. And the players that play the game like this makes us want to kill them even more becasue it is distasteful.

neven.3785:

Your vision of what a guild should be failed, you left and moved on to VR.

Wasn’t my vision, my idea, or my call and my vision was not the vision it was your vision of casualness, that’s why I left and that’s why it failed get it strait. PPK is a non factor. Perhaps you missed all those times Maguuma has the most KDR but still loses skirmishes to BG becasue they go ham on PPT while dodging fights. I think that you are seeing a problem with WvW that exists and blaming the wrong thing as the cause.

People wanted credit for their time in WvW, the players who roamed, and ran 15-20s that just fighted and didn’t PPT so PPK was buffed to allow them to contribute to the war score and not be dead weight. Before this happened all of the PPTers complained about fight guilds and roamers becasue they were contributing nothing to the score and taking of map Q space and were being called useless and dead weight.

PPT is old and tiresome to people who have played the game for 5 years now. There is no rewards for PPT, there is no point in winning matchups other to be put in a desired Tier or to get a certain matchup with as similar population. Maybe people pat themselfs on the back for winning in PPT but it is meaningless.

What is meaningful is winning fights, and farming other players for bags as there is an actual reward for that its called getting Loots and beating other players and having a competition. The problem with the game has nothing to do with PPK, it has everything to do with PPT is not rewarding at all, the rewards are reward tracks and loot bags.

Everyone has the right to play the game however they want. If you have the right to play as 10 disorganized players who just are kitten ing around becasue that is fun for you. Other people have the right to comp up and fight blobs or spend thier time just killing other players for enjoyment and bags.

We already had the game for 4 years the way that you want it and it sucked I don’t know why anyone would want to go back to that. You seem to have a selective memory about it.

I I was on an uplevel like the OP, was using human racial utilities and didn’t even have my elite unlocked I would be spawn camped too.

When you have the outnumbered buff you don’t provide PPK. ANET already changed that.

Feb 22
World vs. World
General

Being killed while outnumbered no longer grants any war score to the enemy team.

At the End of the Day it is “World” vs “World” not 9-10 guys vs 80. Get better as a “World” or a Guild or a player

Stop begging ANET for nerfs just becasue you don’t want to change or put in effort.
—————————————————————————————
I don’t like how people disregard WvW as being a Competitive game mode, but are not competitive players or want to be competitive. So they want everything to be dumbed down like PVE.

Basically OP doesn’t like that he or his group should be penalized for being bad at the game, and just wants the PPK system gone so they don’t have to worry about giving the enemy points becasue they are bad at playing the game.

Please no, I strongly disagree with the OP. OP has been compromised. OP lives in a land where they don’t know that PPK has already been severely nerfed and no longer awards the stronger server with points if the weaker server is outnumbered.

Again it has to be a specific scenario for a hammer bolt to hit u that hard. You have to be below the health threshold and u have to had block or negate the previous attack. + You probably have to have vulnerability on you and the Rev has have to have max stacks, of bloodlust, and might etc etc. Just becasue something can happen it doesn’t probably happen. When It does happen its usually your fault for putting yourself in some kinda ridiculous position.

I think that all of the stars in the game have to align for this to be possible. Possible but not probable.

Just becasue something can possibly happen inside of a vacuum chamber where everything in the universe is perfect for this scenario to happen. Doesn’t mean that it can probably happen.

The OPs story is highly exaggerated in this regard and so are many of the responses in that saying its possible. Which gives the claim made by the OP far more credit than it deserves.

Satirically speaking. A basketball player could lick his finger to fell which way the wind was blowing. Toss a basketball across a parking lot hit a light poll, then a sudden gust of wind would propel the ball a little to the left it then bounces off a car hood then hits the top of a truck lands in the hoop nothing but NET.

Yes it is possible, Probable no. Pls Nerf basketball players ANET its OP.

It’s simply not possible for this to happen, Even if all of the stars aligned in the game.

If I may interject that if all stars aligned in the game for this to not possibly happen that means that its OPS fualt for getting hit with arc devider since they are playing a necro and basically this should never happen to good players especially necros. You would have to be so far out of position for the perfect case scenario like this to happen that you were going to die anyways. Please get better at the game.

If ANET actually play WvW than why is the META so bad.

I want to give ANET credit for improving a lot of things. Like rewards and stuff.

The game tho was perfectly fine tho and then ANET ruined it and, improving it at this point is almost just like fixing the part thats ruined but that part can’t even be fixed.

Dear API Devs,

On Behalf of the World Vs World Community we are requesting the WvW part of the API back. The health of the community depends on these services. I understand that it is broken or parts of it are broken. However it is imperative that sites such as mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/ and https://wvwintel.com/ are working even if nothing else works. Please hurry with up with it we need it.
