Guild Wars 2

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

I’m willing to spend $60.00 to access an open world pvp server. To be honest I’ve become completely inactive due to the limited PvP in this game. I don’t want to fight 30 man zergs. I love fighting small scale battles 2v2 3v3 5v5 and so on. I don’t want to cue up for a small map where I can’t even use consumables and I’m auto leveled. I want true open world PvP. The PVE folks have been provided for nicely. One server setup for open world PvP isn’t going to hurt anyone and I’m willing to pay $60.00 to make it happen. If all the PvPers pay their 60.00 maybe it could be enough to cover the expenses and hassles to make it happen. Just a suggestion. Thank you for your time and consideration Anet.

Downed state is for carebears. Enough said.

Go to the class section of the forum, and find a build with toughness and extreme mobility. Practice it heavily in PvE. Learn to use your gap closers to retreat. For example, as a guardian, I use judge’s intervention to quickly get away from large groups and zergs followed by save yourselves for the swiftness and GS#3 to put even more distance between me and whoever is after me. Within 2 seconds I’m far away enough from whoever was after me that I can’t even see them on my screen sometimes.

You have to pay attention to your environment though as some gap closers require you to target a hostile in order to use the skill such as Judge’s Intervention for guardians. The toughness helps you survive if you screw up your skill rotation during your retreat and your only a few hundred yards away from the nearest friendly tower. When that happens use any skill that gives you stability and/or condition removal and you might just make it to your tower. Once you build some confidence you may even decide to engage the enemy and even if you become overwhelmed you will still be able to make a hasty retreat.

That being said, This game caters to carebears quite a bit. The latest patch made it so you can no longer build siege in the JP area. There is no dedicated server for open world PvP. There is no dueling or arena. The whole concept of the downed state has carebear written all over it. Zergs keep the bads safe for the most part. So people like me have to resort to baiting tactics and pretending to run away :P Once I get someone far enough from the group I either destroy them or sometimes I have a good fight.

Anyhow, good luck!

There have already been other threads regarding this issue with A LOT MORE REPLIES AND VIEWS, but for some convenient reason they all disappeared and now we have what looks like a small thread with a tiny minority of people complaining about the issue. There has been no official response on this matter, and I can only assume that they have their reasons for not responding.

Sadly, it seems Anet has become just another greedy corporation that only cares about their profit margin. I feel bad for the developers as they are caught in the middle and have to deal with all these complaints with their hands tied behind their back by their greedy corporate masters.

Judging by how long it takes them to develop patches and fix exploits, some of which have been around since launch to this day, I would bet that they are understaffed as well which of course means more money for the investors. I understand that people need to make money, but would it kill you to hire a few more people to take care of these issues and answer some questions?

Have the devs reponded in any way to this, on any forum out there? Why would they do this? I understand Anet is busy, but to exclude entire stat sets like this and not give any reason and ignore previous posts regarding this issue…….What’s up Anet?

A Dragonbrand server elementalist was abusing what I was told to be a PvE item that you throw at people. It stuns you for 10 seconds and there is NO COOLDOWN! This is inexcusable as it has a massive impact on WvW. Not only does it stun you, but it hits like a truck. I was two shotted at one point by it. The elemntalist kept abusing it over and over. He was holding off a group of 10 ppl using this exploit!

I am a bunker guardian and as you can see by the screenshot this thing hits extremely hard, No CD, Perma Stun, WTF!!!!! Why can’t I get a players ID by right clicking them? There needs to be accountability for people who exploit things like these. The whole system is setup to give anonymity to these dirtbags. All the players in the area reported the player, but its useless since he just kept using the exploit and downing ppl left and right.

This needs to be fixed ASAP! Anet needs to attach player ID’s to their actions in the combat log so we can get rid of these kitten permanently! They are breaking the game!
