Guild Wars 2

Bumping this. Invisible characters in pvp are a problem and doing damage reveals you out of legit stealth.

People in computer games throw the word “punished” around a lot and I don’t think they even know what the word “punish” means. OP, nobody is sitting around watching you make your bad builds and play your bad builds badly then saying “Yes, I’m going to make this guy’s life miserable now”. Either your build is awful or you’re not a strong player. Or both. Plenty of players perform well in pvp playing non-meta builds all the time whether it be s/f fresh air ele, condi ranger, power necro, hambow warrior, or pistol whip thief. This is a case of lack of game knowledge for you I’m afraid.

Question for you… Gw2 has some great combat mechanics (movement while attacking, camera, targeting, animations and overall gameplay “smoothness”), but why is participation in spvp so abysmally low?

Lack of pvp content variety (game modes) would be my guess. But that’s slowly changing.

Thank god this game isn’t balanced around what the average wvw player considers “good combat”.

I agree, it is easier to come to the forums and complain instead of putting on your thinking cap and coming up with a new way to play ^.^

something around the feet maybe? sort of similar to how revenant stability field is going to look? i don’t know, just throwin out ideas.

I have been getting increasingly bad skill delay on top of the persistent warrior F1 skill delay that has been around for a long time.

GhOst.4019:

Well, countering the counters is a far step above newbie lvl. He wants the easiest class to get started and that would be Warrior. Once he has the general idea of PvP and skills figured out, he can then venture on to whatever class he wants to main and attempt to master it against all.

Agreed. Just figured I’d give some long term food for thought as well.

Warrior is easy to pick up for beginners who are learning pvp. However, it gets difficult to play at higher levels because players at those levels know how to fight against warriors. Then it becomes a matter of learning how to “counter their counters”, which is where I’m at currently. It’s not easy.

power creep? no. what you’re talking about is the increase in average skill level of the player base which is hitting you harder because you just came off a long break. you’re out of practice and the players who have become extremely proficient at playing power builds are not. both crit damage and might have been nerfed too. not sure what this “power creep” you speak of is.

yet another build being called cheese. can we just fast forward in time and start calling every build cheese? that’s how the trend is going.

in addition to the counters listed, weakness helps too.

Another condition? lol, no. it’s bad enough that soft cc already behaves like a condition.

Not true. In fact, guild wars 2 is the only game that allows full premade on voice comms to be paired against a pug.

Yeah that’s completely kittening false.

Oh really? Name me one game where you press solo Q button or hotjoin and get paired against a try hard full team on voice comms?

cod.

SWTOR also. At least it has a variety of different pvp game modes though.

ResJudicator.7916:

…In WvW, almost every non-condi class will run lemongrass poultry for -40% condi duration…

this is not true. for frontline (and bad backline) blobbers, yes they’ll likely use lemongrass. but most roamers that run power spec’s use power and/or precision buffing foods like omnomberry ghosts, truffle steak, etc.

mesmer invuln? ranger signet? renewed focus?

as stated already, if you mindlessly use skills at an engi’s shield it’s a l2p issue.

i can see the pile up of level tomes being obnoxious for some. it would be cool to leave them out of one or two tracks and keep them in the rest, like the dungeon tracks for instance.

I’m getting this bug as well. TY for the bugs forum link XTD.

Sirendor.1394:

Anyone Badges for tomes of knowledge???

i would be psyched if they added that.

Coverage wins. Always. There’s no talent involved when it comes to ppt.

The population imbalance is a myth most of the time. Even on the high population servers, players and guilds drift in and out. There is massive downtime. What is working is players jumping in at the last minute, on demand. That is talent.

there you go again confusing population for talent

Not sure what you mean.

I play support ele on a teir 1 server. I pay very close attention to different commanders’ strategies. I have to predict seconds in advance where a commander will move to target effectively and time cool downs, and to stay alive as a light armor player. I can see how they are moving. I see screw ups and wins on our side and the other guys side. I can see one side overextend and the other take advantage. I can see the difference between facing a tightly organized guild group and facing a random blob of people who aren’t paying attention.

Maybe that kind of stuff isn’t obvious on your server.

Literally everyone who is a good team comp player does this. It doesn’t matter which tier they’re in.

This gets an Anet response and instanced gvg doesn’t?

When your things get night capped, that means you have something to do when you log in the next day.

Could you imagine if you capped an entire map once and it stayed like that for days at a time? The boredom. /wrists

I’m seeing some people mention stability in a thread about immob stacking.

I really hope that those people know the difference between stun for example and immob.

Lol, I didn’t even know you could dodge roll by clicking your endurance bar. RIP me.

Bump.

From an opponent’s point of view, DI consistently brings stellar competition, great sportsmanship, and next-level calibre play each and every night.

Best of luck in your recruiting.

Bump.

Guardians and Warriors needed!

The “sour grapes” responses from some of the SoR people are predictable, yet still disappointing. I remember fighting against you guys when the league was on, and you had better coverage than we did at TC and usually came out ahead of us, but we still tried every time. I remember one week we got second place and everyone was happy about that.

Now suddenly it’s “we can’t win so we are running off to EotM”. I mean, it’s a game, do what makes you happy, but it still comes across as quitting. And it’s really not what I expected.

Ever since I started GW2 I’ve felt that the constant transferring around of people and guilds made WvW into something of a joke, and this is all part of it. I chose TC when I joined knowing that it wasn’t the most populous server, and that we’d lose a lot of matches. It’s possible that once SoR is finished shamefully throwing their matches so they can “on purpose” go to T2 that TC will end up in T1. And win or lose I will do what I can to fight the good fight, without making excuses or trying to find someone willing to give me gold to abandon my friends.

If you guys end up in T2, I’ll be rooting for our current nemeses, SoS and FA. At least they make an effort most of the time.

We don’t like pv door and luring bg from their keeps. What’s wrong with preferring EotM? honestly, we don’t really care what you or others think about our server, lol.

Sorry playing tactically and against comparable opponents was “too hard” and “not fun” for you guys. Have fun beating up zerker pve pugs.

call it whatever you want. if you want to come “pwn” us with your mad skillz you know where to find us. i haven’t seen any bg guilds in eotm. wonder why?

Because we didn’t rage quit from WvW over “playing for ppt”.
Good luck taxi’ing in your guilds onto one map and “playing for the fights” though. I’m sure the unorganized pugs in pve gear will give the easy good fights you desire.

The pve’ers are a mere speed bump on our way to where the wvw guilds are on the map. Sometimes we have to switch instances to find the wvw guilds. You should come try it out and see for yourself.

If SoR is just doing this to get out of T1 faster, all power to you since the low morale caused by staying in T1 is really not healthy for your server anymore. However I would suggest you guys shed a bit more guilds (especially your OCX/SEA guilds), otherwise you would be back in T1 in no time….

SoR still has ocx guilds? Oh wait thats right we don’t have any left.

Hire, GC

Most of HIRE has merged into GC and most of GC is leaving for ESO.

Ah, so they will be back in GW2 in no time then, given horrible ESO seems to be:)

Shrug.

It’s better than this.

Elder Scrolls combat in an MMO? Lol.

Shrug.

Chris.3290:

didn’t DN leave for SBI? Apparently everyone wants to fight SoS and Mag.

Chris,

Nope. We are on SoR and having a blast.

What happened on BGBL with sunny changing red in under 30seconds was out of order, your just lucky the BG map didnt want to fight fire with fire. [TID] sort it out, dont know what server you xfered from but pls dont pull stunts like that again.

You’re not in a position to call anyone out end of story. especially if you’re a mesmer from [TOM] or [PLX] we’ve seen you many times over the past few months portaling in and out of the ground beneath keeps, bloodlust capture points, walls and lets not forget the flying golems.

P.S. We’ve also had a dev watch you do said things – so don’t say you weren’t warned.

Please provide a video of this activity so that I can identify and deal with the Plexity member.

I sure hope you do have proof that someone has been using hacks and are not just throwing random accusations around.

There is a guild called Perplexed We Still Have Members [PLX] which said mesmer is in that teleports around the map. Little asura mesmer. Funny little guy. Talks lots of trash. too bad they haven’t banned him. Been months now of reports.

Be calm and read the posts again.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info.

Lol bg’s new blob commander beatrix getting so kitten over constantly getting wiped that he has to pull an entire map blob to lag out the entire eb and cause massive rubberbanding. hilarious. his agenda to get revenge on us after he emoed out has gone down the drain. he’s getting smashed in 1v1’s. he’s getting smashed in 2v1’s. and now this map v 25 ? lol you’re funny dude. the level of hurt butt that dude displays is epic. keep up the good(?) work. we’re getting so much loot that we have to stop and empty our bags ever 10 minutes lol

All T1 is is blobbing. Don’t act like SOR never blobs. Every T1 server does it.
