Guild Wars 2

I was just playing SPVP and spawned on the opposing team’s spawn point. The time is now 2:27PM GMT -06:00 according to my Win 7 clock, it must have been a couple minutes ago as I’m typing this. I think it was Battle of Kyhlo, not 100% sure of the name, but I am sure of the Watchtower, Mansion CPs, etc. When I entered the server it was 3v3 , then blue got an additional player, so I went red making it 4v4, but spawned in blue.

Additionally, I have been seeing player counts on maps get really weird. Yesterday it was 5v1 at one point, with me on the weak side. Heh. IDK how that can happen! I have seen teams get stacked when the client should not be letting them even join a certain team. Strange!

I am wondering this question from people who have participated in the beta. I saw some people doing some pretty crazy stuff last weekend. For example, Mesmers with invulnerability and stuff like that. Personally, I wish any class could do well at least some of the time. To me it seems like some classes are just plain better than others for SPVP. If that’s right, I wish it would change.

Well, I see how he did it now. I guess those Warriors probably were not hacking. Oops!

I haven’t played 1000s of matches, but I’ve played at least a couple hundred by now (total), some with each class, though I do have favorites. I can say right now that no class should be able to kill anyone in a second or less when that someone has 18000 health like I do, and it’s full.

Anyway, as for combat logs, I have screen shots that I just took of a Warrior hitting me with arcing slice for 8k and then later for over 9k (it’s the adrenaline-based circular spin attack). I get on my Warrior (he’s got Marauder, but his rune is +precision and +ferocity) and it says damage against people with less than 50% health (I had more than 50%) is 1.6k. How many stacks of might would it take to get that number?

I have been killed far too quickly way too many times. It’s at least a couple people pretty much every day, but I can always go do something else than PVP in whichever server the current hacker (or, maybe hackers) is/are in. It is a bit astounding, though, that this stuff is even possible. I have never seen something this ridiculous in competitive video gaming. I don’t even know how it could be possible, which is why I have been kind of slow to even believe it.

Oh, and I got hit with a “Dash” by a different Warrior for over 8000 – same match!

Of course that Warrior trait grants might on a critical hit, and each stack only lasts 5 seconds. Maybe there are some traits I have skipped over.

I did just come across a Warrior ability which stacks might per attack, but it seems to diminish pretty quickly, and I remember being taken down very fast in situations where I was not near any other players from my team – so I don’t know how that would have anything to do with it. I don’t know, maybe I am missing something, like I said before. I hope that’s the case.

Warriors do have an enrage ability, and it adds 20% crit as well as some might, but it’s far from enough to get one shotted. Their 2 most damaging attacks are the spin thing they can do with a great sword, and then another great sword attack, but the second one requires the target not move for about a second and a half or two. So, to get mowed down in under a second by one does not make sense to me, especially when I’m playing with about 18,000 HP.

They can do a lot of damage quickly, but when I said I got taken down in under a second I was not exaggerating. Like the other guy said, Google DPS hacks and I’m sure you can find some stuff. The code must be flawed, because I have never even heard of something like this before GW2. I don’t understand how the server would not check this stuff. In FPS I have never heard of this. It happens multiple times a day for me. I usually finish the match then leave.

I usually have about 17-18000 health in PVP so getting 2-shotted by a Warrior in under a second, or seeing a Guardian taking very large chunks of my health quickly does not add up.

Well, I went over the Warrior and Guardian skills again. I know that Warriors can do some damage, but I myself have been killed by them in less than a second, which, looking at their skills, does not seem possible, at all.

And I have seen more than one DPS Guardian. They have very, very few skills that DPS. Maybe 2. So, I don’t understand how this can happen.

I really wish PvP was balanced. It seems like there are some classes that are just not very viable at all.

Also, sometimes I see people bursting for, what at least seems to be, way more damage than they should be able to do. For example, I have seen Warriors really going crazy, so I made one, but it just doesn’t seem like I can keep up. Either I’m really missing something, or some people are doing more damage than should be possible. Also, I’ve seen lots of DPS Guardians, and I really don’t know how that happens – after playing one as well. Maybe I’m just not connecting the dots.

And last but not least I just saw someone teleporting around the Mists. Which leads me to my last point.. hacks have been around in this game for a long, long time from reading forum posts and such. Since you are making GW2 basically F2P please cut down on this nonsense, because you are opening it up for a lot more open hacking with free accounts. Hopefully I am wrong about a lot of this stuff…
