There is a possible ninja nurse build that i ran into someone using in WvW, but I’m not sure what the build actually is.

That setup was super enjoyable to play as a change of pace back in the day. It’s long been gutted and not nearly as effective as it used to be. Dropped it hard. =(

I love pve players. I pve myself sometimes.

Just don’t kitten join ranked without training first, I will suplex you what are you doing

That bull makes me wanna flip my computer. That’s like someone joining a chess tournament or a soccer league or any other sport/game tournament with only a cursory understanding of the rules and with only a glancing manual read as experience.

You may know what some of the buttons, some of the strategies do, but PVP ranked is a different beast and people depend on you to assist them in certain ways at certain times for their ranking.

Joining without preparing, even a little , is a disservice to yourself, your team, and the game. There’s an unranked button right there . Not pushing it is almost the epitome of arrogance.

I get this, but unfortunately I no longer see a difference in unranked and ranked without the ability to queue with a premade group. To use a WoW example – its all just random battlegrounds now and with a random group, you get random results. So whether people learn in ranked or unranked makes no difference to me.

Is 5 vs 5 the source of the problem ?

Conquest is the issue.

Spot on.

Conquest is not an issue, but for shure impose to the player specific builds to use.
For shure make another sPvP area with new maps as a Deathmatch tournament would be good. Like make a specific queue for Countryard as they did for stronghold.

They are shelving the only other game mode they have come up with (stronghold). 12 months from now everyone will still be playing conquest.

Fun game mode. They need to expand on it, not retire it. PvP needs more options, not less.

Told To Reroll

Thief main here. If you play thief in ranked, get on the other team. I know exactly what odds this class is against with the current meta. While its not as bad as last season (NOTHING could be that bad), it is still foolish, selfish, and arrogant to roll thief in ranked unless you are in a premade that is OK with it.

It is NOT a class to solo with as pugs will often not know how to play with a thief and dealing with aspects such as dealing with an outnumbered team fight while you decap.

Pugs are Pugs are Pugs. Random group is random. If people want to be competitive then they need to make the effort to form a group and have voice comms, etc. Instead of being trendy and blaming a thief for their problems.

Solo queue is exactly what you get – unknown team comp, unknown player skill/knowledge and very little communication.

Why nerds still rage when they accept these conditions by queuing alone is beyond me.

Overall, play what you want to play. Swiftly ignore the tools.

I used to be on WildBlue many years ago when I played WoW. I don’t think you will have an issue with data consumption (exception of large patches), but latency will kill you especially since GW2 is a bit more “twitch” versus other MMOs.

Looking at packages these days, it looks like they have improved and may have latency down to around 600ms, this is massively improved over what I had to play with (1800ms).

I ended up just switching over to Verizon Wireless. Increased my data plan on my phone and just play off the hotspot. Prices are outrageous, but there are no other options.

A plea from a PvP player to Anet.

Agree, want 1v1, 2v2 etc.

Underwater Keep

Wickedesigns.1287

I find underwater combat overall super enjoyable in GW2 especially compared to other games. Unfortunately some classes skills had it a lot better than others. I really miss Raid on the Capricorn in pvp. An entire keep underwater might be interesting. I’d welcome an “underwater rework” patch.

I’d really just like to know a timeline on adjustment to overall balance. I love the pvp in this game and play many classes (most hours on mesmer), but right now its pretty borked. Roll this kitten back if you got to.

Can't Play WvW Anymore, Can't Be The Only One

Unfortunately, I highly doubt they will allow already dead servers to be more so by allowing people to transfer off. Perhaps server merging for the WvW zones is an option at some point.

They screwed their own system by allowing paid transfers in the first place.

Dueling etiquette in WvW

in WvW

Posted by: Wickedesigns.1287

Wickedesigns.1287

Dueling/Small Man fights are completely valid in the WvW zones BUT…

You’re in a pvp zone with hundreds of other people. Expecting every single person to adhere to arbitrary rules is pretty silly. If you don’t duel in a low traffic area you’re asking to get interrupted.

I’d really like them to add a dueling system (like in pve or cities) or 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 arena type gameplay.

Most fun map in the entire rotation gone. Defending/Attacking the underwater point is very fun combat. Underwater is fun in general. Balance? Like land combat is balanced – chhhyeah.

Did I just read no more underwater combat in PvP? Capricorn is one of my favorite maps. I actually enjoy the underwater combat. =(

Glory Boosters, what happens to them?

When glory is removed what happens to the glory boosters? I have over 100 of these things. Anyone know?

Charr In-Game Model Hunched Over?

I never really got into GW1 so maybe I am just missing something here, but most of the Charr artwork I have seen seem to show Charr standing more upright and generally looking way more kitten than the current in-game models.

I realize Charr were not a playable race in GW1, but did they look like they do in GW2 – all hunched over? Maybe I am alone in this and Charr look the way they are supposed to?
