This game is hard on casuals or faint hearted. If you dont have a team whom you play with at least 3-4 hours each day, you will get farmed. If you dont have a team, dont expect to enjoy this game. (Well if you enjoy playing with noobs and getting farmed by hardcore pvp guilds
)
The problem here isn’t as big as u guys are making it look. Last friday i formed a team with my guildies to do some free tournaments, i had done less than 10 tournament matches rest of my team about same amount and 2 had never done tournaments. Our ranks were 23,14,rest were under 10, one guy had never even entered pvp match. We had very little of knowledge about tactics there and then we just queued to have some fun there. Lost 2 first matches ( against guilds), changed our tactics a little cuz we realized what we had done wrong. Next match we won about 500-350 ( against guild again ), also won the next match against guild and got to round 3 and there we lost about 300-500 and if i remember correctly this was a group of random ppl picked from mists. We ain’t a hardcore PvP guild and yet we made it to final round.
If our very inexperienced team made it to final and u guys can’t get past the first round because always being farmed by ’’hardcore’’ pvp guilds, any chance that there is something wrong with the way ur playing there? And communication shouldn’t usually be a problem since most guilds do have TS or vent servers availeable for communication, so just invite your team there ( in GW1 @ HA it was requirement in most teams to keep spikes coordinated etc ). Also if u get beated on first round just don’t give up instantly and whine on forums but just give it another shot try learn from what u did wrong and just go again. My opinion still is that losing in tPvP is more fun than winning in sPvp

Ever heard about using dodge/block? Thief can’t use CnD when he doesn’t land the hit which then leaves him stuck with usually 2 stealths depeding on build. Other one is area stealth where you can just go hitting the air, push him out of the area, w/e. Also while thief isn’t in stealth u can stun, immobilize and in general just try deal massive dmg. Thieves are very fragile and die easily when not in stealth. tho still enemies with zero/low condition removal will die during those 2 non CnD stealths when thiefs is using condition build but u just can’t always win
-More token rewards, atm there ain’t too many items i can buy with tokens, for example most people only are buying armor sets and once that is done its nothing left to do with tokens. For example my friend atm has bought his CoF armor set and now hes sitting with almost 4k tokens. Lodestone idea was very good. Like 1 lodestones for 100-150 tokens.
- Unique dungeon drops. Guild wars 2 had underworld where at end chest you had chance for items such as Dhuum’s Soul Reaper, unique scythe which was only possible to drop from that dungeon and Miniature Dhuum (collected 2 of those from underworld out of about 500 times i have completed it ). Like if arah would have chance to drop Miniature Lupicus, i would definently do the dungeon much more often.
-This isn’t really just for dungeons idea but i want the /age back showing how much time i have spent in that area. Makes it much more enjoyable when we are trying to get fastest time possible on a dungeon completion. Thats actually the one thing that kept me playing guild wars 1 for so long (and many of my friend).
-Bosses are quite nice but atm most of them are just too easy and take too long to finish. Rather make them do more damage or just more difficult in general instead of running in circle with ranged weapons and killing the enemy. Lupicus is good example for me of what all bosses should be. It’s not too difficult with team that knows what to do but i like the phase idea. In that boss i don’t even care if it has alot of HP because its fun.
-Bigger party restrictions in future dungeons? Groups of 8 players for some dungeons would be very fun.
. They also want to make it perfect, hence it won’t be in the next big update.
Perfect is the key word here. they will be mostlikely spending alot of time building it up and making it work without problems. Think about what happened with karka event, some people didn’t get their exotic items because they didn’t know that chest would drop them that much and part of event was bugged. HUGE cry fest at forums so i suppose anet doesn’t want that to happen again.
I would really like if Anet added stuff like Underworld, Fissure Of Woe, Urgoz and that stuff that was seen in Guild Wars 1. I really enjoyed those areas and in the end they were the main reason i kept playing it. I dont know if other people already posted this since there has just been tons of other threads and i didn’t bother going through them all. But for these there could be better rewards, such as Underworld had Dhuum’s Soul Reaper scythe, which was unique for that area. Also there were there unique miniatures such as Mini Dhuum and Mini Smite Crawler.
And as these were called Elite Areas in guild wars 1, these were more difficult than just normal quests to complete the storyline. The one thing i really enjoyed was that these areas were much less forgiving from mistakes.
Lets take examples from Underworld. It had 10 quests that needed to be finished and the final Boss ( Dhuum himself ). If your whole party died, you were removed from the area and had to start it all over. If u failed one quest, you also were removed from the area and had to start it all over ( no retrying the quests like we can atm.)
( Just for those people that didn’t play Guild Wars 1 that these areas were in addition of dungeons.)
I do of course understand if anet doesn’t want this to happen since i can’t even count the times skills were nerfed, enemies gained new skills, quests were changed and some new enemies were added to prevent the speed clearing of this area and this i believe was main reason we don’t see these areas at Guild Wars 2. But im sure u guys would be able to prevent the same thing from happening at Guild Wars 2.
