What Ismael and Silv said. You want something? You pay for it. The game you play is basically a free version, you buy the game to get access to everything. Simple stuff really..

That would be a bait and switch.

They’re experience has been intentionally diminished and held hostage behind a pay wall.

I can’t believe I’m arguing this because it should just be common sense… but here we go.

Your experience was never diminished… everything you paid for 4 years ago is still there and you can still do it. You can still do pvp, wvw and pve without HOT. The only difference is that there is new content exclusive to the expansion pack.

When you buy a game you are entitled to the content you paid for. You can still access all that content without any paywall. Anet has no legal obligation for you to enjoy that content though. Just because the content Anet created may prevent you from ENJOYING that content without the expansion pack does not mean they locked the content you paid for behind a paywall. All your content is accessible just as it always was, you just no longer enjoy it as much as you used to.

Here is a good example, lets say you buy a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 because it is the fastest street legal car and you like to street race. The car is touted as the “fastest street legal car”. You win all your races. Next year a Bugatti Veyron 16.5 comes out that is faster and now you start losing. Does that mean Bugatti “bait and switched” you? No it doesn’t.

Not quite. Theyre selling you the license to race so to speak.

This would be paying a lump sum of money to enter a competition where you must pick from a fixed selection of cars of your choice to race, under the premise that this is all you will ever have to pay in order to be competitive in this tournament (anet by their own words said the elite specs are not meant to be an upgrade).
Next year they tell you that if you pay another fee equal to the first sum of money you paid, you may gain access to faster cars and if you do not you may still race but never win.

“You can either leave this room or I will shoot you, its your choice”.

What you fail to realize is that neither anet or your fictitious racing company have any obligation for you to be competitive in their games. While Anet strives for balance they have no legal obligation that says they can’t release new content which makes old players worse.

A bait and switch is marketing a false price for a service only to increase that price later. Anet never told you “we aren’t releasing new specs ever” nor did they promise vanilla specs would be even remotely competitive. Anet sold you a game for $60 of which all the content is still playable. They promised you game content for a price and gave you all of that content for the stipulated price. If you no longer enjoy the game because you die at it, it is not their problem.

Honestly if you don’t get it at this point I don’t know what to tell you. As they say, you can’t argue with stupid. That being said before you continue calling what Anet did a bait and switch, let me ask what law school you went to? For the record I go to Osgoode.

In other words you’re admitting what I’m describing, that being said yes I’m using the laymen definition of ‘’bait and switch" here. While it’s not illegal it’s intentional frowned up business techniques they’re using to sell the expansion.

They made the content that was previously sold obsolete. Or as a pvp player are you seriously trying to tell me that a pvp platform has any value, use or meaning to a competitive player if they cannot win?

For the record, they did promise the base specs would remain competitive. In their own words, the elite specs are not supposed to be an upgrade.

Just because you can log onto the game does not mean it is playable to a competitive pvp player if they cannot win. It’s always a gateway to a game going down the drain when it’s player’s irrationally defend the interests of the company rather than the players. The company’s profits =/= player’s enjoyment. Any competitive pvp player for one reason or the other who cannot buy the further expansions are forced to give up the game as a whole, the game that they bought has been given an expiry date.

Maybe it would make it easier to understand if anet released a mechanic such that, when you buy the expansion your stats are double that of those who only have the core game. Does that seem so innocent now?

Last time I checked, spvp was built upon the principle of the match’s outcome being independent of your wealth inside and outside of the game.

Shout guard?
Mallyx Leadership runes Revenant —> spam resistance to allies and get perma resistance on yourself?

I faced two warriors 1v2 with a bunk DH and they literally did nothing to me. Not to mention I cleaned my teammates from their whole burst like it was nothing.

You faced a 1v2 and cleaned your teammates conditions? Sounds like someone is lying.

And shout guard is pure trash that they literally die in mere seconds.

No. I fought 2 of em 1v2 and they couldn’t kill me. Also, in the same match I cleansed my allies from their condis. That’s not that hard to put together tbh.

And no, shout guard is actually pretty decent from my experience – it just shouldn’t be taken with an ele.

This is the thing, there are options out there to take precautions against condi but people refuse to equip cleanses and act as if condi is not allowed to kill anything. These are the same people who call you a noob for equipping a weapon that isn’t listed on metabattle.com yet complain that the build they copy+pasted has a hard time against condi.

Myself I play both power and condi depending on the class, so it’s just entertaining to watch people who’ve never seen both sides of the argument and act as if they should have enough cleanses to cleanse all condis (even that is possible while still having dmg ouput if you learn to theory craft for once), it’s like I always say – it’s the equivalent of asking for enough aegis to block every single attack.

What you guys are really missing is the fact back then no one really knew what they were doing, i.e. the flame engineer and sloppy large fights.

Now, the builds/gear really tight and the groups skill level is high. Thats why fights dont drag on that much, because commanders know what classes they need to use to hit hard.

Oh so so naive. It’s cute really.

True…

I find it hilarious when people try to act like they’re better than the real competition that has already left. It’s like calling Newton stupid because we learn what he discovered at university today.. they don’t understand the concept of innovation. The metabattle.com heroes of today wouldn’t stand a chance against the guilds this game once had.

We are better. It’s not a question of inherent talent. It’s merely a question of having a larger history to draw upon. Newton wasn’t stupid but of course today’s physicists know more about physics than he did. How could it be otherwise. As did he, we may say we stand on the shoulders of giants but nevertheless, there we are seeing farther than them.

Ask yourself this question: are you a better player now than you were when you first started? How is this possible? Were you dumber then?

That quote only applies when the mechanics of the world do not change, which in this game they have.

The sheer ignorance in saying that fights don’t last long as a show of skill.. it shows that the people of today have not improved in skill but the playerbase as a whole as dulled.

necro marks and downed state in WvW

Zetsumei.4975

Am I the only one wondering why people are taking a pver’s request for rebalancing seriously? It’s clear his only concern is for lootbags and spending all that time making spreadsheets over loot? If they had spent that time doing combat theory crafting they might have figured out such basic mechanics of the necro by now.

Sorry to break that for you.

We’re talking a possible BUG or lackluster weapon design.

People already pointed out that my build nor my skill rotation based on my raid’s damands are fine.

I have 8 000 hours in this game where at least 7 000 are spend in WvW raiding with my guild so please don’t be so ignorant and call people pver’s – It makes Broze Tier Players like you really stupid. (Oh yes you’re not anonymous we can all see since when you’ve been playing and where you spend your time in-game my dear PvE loving friend)

I want this game to be balanced for all classes – right now every other class which can use staff except necro have their skills able damage downed players and this need to be fixed.

“Wvw veteran” thinks server ranking means anything other population and coverage. (You realise the sig under my posts was created by me right? .. What anonymity?).

8000 hours in the game and only just realised that marks don’t damage downed players unless triggered by others walking into it, you can spend all the hours you want in game it means nothing to me if all you did was follow the monoblob trying to tag people for loot.

You’re using what you call a backline build with reaper’s shroud? Like I said spend more time theory crafting for combat than spreadsheeting loot calculations before you comment on balance decisions.

Marks have been this way since launch.

Conditions don’t need nerfing.

Ability to apply daze so frequently and stealth are what needs to be changed.

You mean Confusion? THAT IS A CONDITION……..

You do know what daze is right?

Yes but it usually comes with other condi’s like confusion and or torment and those DO more damage than daze.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Power_Block

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Impacting_Disruption

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Moment_of_Clarity

The reality is that most of the points people who refuse to equip condi clears and intelligently use them make are really just two sides of the same coin. People often try to make comparisons between power and condi but because they dont have nearly enough experience theorycrafting condi builds they dont see that the supposed differences are mirrored in both playstyles.

WvW Poll 04/28: Scoring vs. QoL (Closed)

Zetsumei.4975

I’m very glad that reward tracks were added to WvW – I think that’s a great step in the right direction. However, I would like to see these tracks worked on a bit more to have a bit better rewards. The one thing that stands out to me is the ability to obtain a WvW-specific legendary backpiece. I don’t feel it’s right that it can be obtained through sPvP and PvE but not WvW.

You don’t think it’s the fact you get lots of weapon skins and barely any armour skins bc the armour skin is at the end only? That’s pretty stupid if you ask me

That’s the same as the ones in spvp so no problem there.

Well is it really the issue with it having four stats? To be honest when I first saw the celestial amulet i was wondering why the amulet in total gave more stats than other amulets when gw2’s stat system already gives diminishing returns on stacking a single stat – that in itself gives an advantage to spreading allowed stat points over several types.

You’re completely deluded and you’re the coward. What’s the bet you sit around minmaxing your 1v1 potential?

This post doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but ok xD.

Ive already said above that I enjoy theorycrafting so.. yes I min-max my solo roaming builds for 1vx, whats your point?

You hold pride in your complete disregard and disrespect for your world’s performance in the mists?

Its more that I have complete indifference for PPT, it is determined by population and coverage. Which is why I find the result of a matchup completely meaningless.

That being said, in the same way there are players who run away from fights and actively try to outnumber the opponent because skill and honor means nothing to them so in the end it is simply, each to their own. Live and let live.

Basically for me the issue lies in the actions of allies.

No it doesn’t. It’s wvw and you are demoralising people by doing it out in the open while people try to defend keeps etc.

Duleers also do it out in the open for attention, which also shows your motivations. You have no respect at all from anyone on the server playing wvw. Sometimes there are people queing in to help in wvw. You have an extremely distorted view of your own importance.

Demoralising people by doing what out in the open exactly? Fighting? Lol ! I guess in your perfect world everyone would either be sitting on arrowcarts or following the monoblob.

I don’t concern myself with what opinions cowards have of me, only the reputation I hold amongst honourable, strong fighters and zergbusters.

As for having a distorted view of my own importance, I don’t get how that is possible when I do not care for PPT whatsoever, haven’t done so since zergbusting got brought to bronze those many years ago.

It’s a complex sense of honor and unofficial rules of engagement I know, but it is far from a uncommon thing and I hold a lot of pride for it.

However, im also well aware that this can often be the reason for an overwhelming winrate in 1v1s along with there being no matchmaking meaning you often fight people not experienced enough in the game so I actively go looking for 1vx’s as the challenge.

And there we have an entirely different setup. You allow others to join your fight or better to say, you seek for 1 vs. 2, 3. You will not start flaming me for “interrupting” your duel. You probably go to an area controlled by the opponent and start flipping sentry points/camps. The major difference is that you are looking for a challenge (as you said) and not a “fair” duel. Im personally fine with this behaviour.

To clarify:

Solo roaming and dueling are two very different things. While roaming, yes I welcome the enemy adding onto fights i find myself in. However, if an ally steps into my existing even numbered fight I will walk away to leave him for dead.

Also most importantly, if someone were to interfere in an agreed duel I have no respect for them whatsoever. (I personally dont enjoy duels myself, theyre too static for me I prefer the chaos of open world and using terrain to get the jump on 2/3 people but I most definitely respect others’ duels and as a personal rule will not interfere in even-numbered fights). If you stumble upon an agreed duel, have the decency and honor to walk on.

Other scenarios are that if an ally runs to me for help when being chased I will give the enemy a couple of warning autoattack shots, let him heal up to full and fight him myself, if the ally then tries to +1 into it being a 2v1 I will leave him for dead.

Basically for me the issue lies in the actions of allies.

To those screaming “Duel in guild hall, eotm or OS” – I have bad news for you. I don’t know ANY of the people I am dueling ever lmao. We usually just run in to each other, bow and go. We don’t just have a community of duelers looking for duels, its usually people solo roaming who run into another solo roamer.

Thats leads my question. Do you prefer duelling in the open field in WvW or would you prefer duelling in PvP? Your opponent gets chosen similar to normal conquest/stronghold, the map is designed for duels, you get opponents from all worlds including your own, the armor/weapons are independent of your gold account, nobody can disturb you, etc.

WvW for sure.

PvP builds are very limited, there isn’t a whole lot of build diversity there and the armor spec is way different. In WvW, I can mismatch my gear, build for more of certain thing or build for more balance than PvP can offer.

Since they dropped Celestial amulet from PvP, I rarely go back. They should have just nurfed it a little bit, not removed it all together.

I think the celestial amulet is a good example why I disagree with you. The celestial amulet was removed from PvP because it led to imbalance between the builds. There is no such control in WvW. A victory in a duel has hence no meaning. You won, great! I can also run faster than a little child.

Now you left PvP because you cannot use the celestial amulet. In other words: I am not OP anymore, I will not play anymore. Learn other builds, other classes. That would be an example of your skill.

I know you will flame me now. I dont care!

Just gonna chime in here with a point that is often overlooked, I am a theorycrafter and enjoy it a lot, done it for both guilds and for myself when solo roaming and spvp. Thats why i like the gear system as it is in wvw, because more options for customisation means I can create larger varieties of builds that players who just copy and paste builds off the internet will suffer against.

When it comes to solo roaming, one of the most enjoyable aspects of it is theorycrafting the most OP, unorthodox and unheard of build I can squeeze out of the combat system utilising all sorts of tricks with weird foods and runes etc.

However, im also well aware that this can often be the reason for an overwhelming winrate in 1v1s along with there being no matchmaking meaning you often fight people not experienced enough in the game so I actively go looking for 1vx’s as the challenge.

That’s called the celestial amulet.

How so… celestial is far better for some classes then other… this isn’t valid at all, if everyone is balanced fairly with no amulet then you won’t have the above scenario even happening..

Because if you give no one stats that’s equal to everyone having an amulet that gives equal stat points to every stat aka the celestial amulet.

Unless you’re suggesting anet decide that they want warriors playing a power build at all times and so give them Berserker amulet stats, and they want necros running condi builds at all times so they give necros carrion amulets stats – this won’t go down well for how bias and selfish it is.

People duel in wvw because they suck too much for pvp. Wvw is about your ability to 1v2 or higher. If you are only worth 1 enemy player you hinder your team. So glory seeking duelers need to leave ebg.

As someone who plays a lot of spvp I can tell you this is incorrect. A lot of fights in spvp will come down to +1ing the opponent aka rotating well. Fights rarely come down to 1v1’s all the way from 100% to death except at niche moments in the match.

People who settle down for duels tend to do so after finding a formidable opponent while wading through all the scrubs while solo roaming for 1vx.

Should have in-game polls or surveys like blade and soul did during the levelling phase. Give a small but significant reward for completing the survey with a ‘further comments’ section at the end.

Garbage roaming players. I love running these losers over. Go to SPVP scrubs.

Joshxt I can tell you barely do large scale fights, keep it up tho bro roaming4lyfe playa.

Sounds like a kid strayed too far from the pack.

What? Im sorry, I cant hear you over the blob busting I partake in.

Says a lot about your guild if you have to resort to rolling over roamers. Your tag is only worth as much as your reputation, good job soiling it. Its easy to run your mouth when the competition has already left.

click the link.

Sorry do you think youre the first to have an edited video of the same old cherry-picked fights in gw2? Grow up.

What are you talking about? What in these videos have to do with roamers?

Again, I cant hear your tier 7 logic while i kitten with blobs in my 20 man. kitten roamers.

I suggest you stop talking.. youre showing the full extent of your naivety. Did you think roamers dont zergbust? Do you think tier 7 always had low population? Do you think someone in a zergbusting guild doesnt travel around?

Bare in mind im giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you dont mean to say you think server rankings has anything to do with skill.

Youre young in terms of zergbusting and wvw, but that much is obvious from your 360-noscope attitude posts.

So many kids these days join a recycled guild and flaunt around their ego with a trashy attitude now that the proud days of wvw are past. The more you talk with an immature tone the less value your words and tag have.

You have a lot of catching up to do.

The good ol days right when your server used to actually be good, wow your so cool. You must play ranger also.

Oh wow.. seems i was mistaken – you do actually think server rankings = skill. Well thanks for discrediting yourself for me. /discussion

Apparently you missed the necro in my sig.. and multi-classing isnt a thing in 2016. :0

Most people dont care that heavily about PPT anymore but sure if they kitten about it just put a delay on.

If it were me i’d only bother putting a delay on if something big’s going down like an organized multi-guild guerrilla or golem attack but servers dont seem to pull that stuff anymore n just ram heads at a keep for the night. Back in the day DEX used to perma-stealth packs of golems right next to keeps in hiding places from spawn ready for prime time n set up for a three-pronged attack with other guerilla/zergbusting guilds, funny memories :P (quaggan houses you were not that useless after all).

It has been this way since launch.

Though i believe i recall it was initially a bug (being one for so long it became a running joke), I dont know if they decided to not fix it out of laziness or because they figured it was balanced anyway. – pretty sure its the fomer.

It will be incredibly hard to kill anyone, especially with support ele/druid around.
I think it will be another bunker meta.

Just you wait, the baddies are eyeing the thief too. Plenty of people who don’t know what dodge is complain about vault. And stealth. And…wait for it …. wall of reflection

How difficult can it be to discuss skill balance without insulting other players? I don’t need to learn to play. I know what these skills do and how to counter them also. This is a topic discussing how to balance these skills so that their power is more in line with combat flow.

Honestly, I thought this was a troll post at first. Don’t mean to be rude but this is definitely a learn to play issue.

Also if you’re coming at this from a wvw large scale fights perspective with a longbow build (yuck) you shouldn’t be targeting the guardians in the first place. You need to be targeting the backline.

[Suggestion] 4 Maps - No Rotation

Posted by: Zetsumei.4975

I said this back in the desert border beta – anet are or at least were already planning on having all four maps in play at once. The evidence is from when they tried to move the keep waypoints to the southern towers. The reason for that is because they can’t do this until they transform alpine into a square border.

This is because the server that gets alpine as their home will always win. Alpine is the one map where it is easier to control your entire home border. The other three maps all make it extremely difficult to do anything but only hold your corner.

They will do this as soon as they turn the alpine into a square border so that the intended playstyle is that you hold your corner on all four maps and attempt micro pushes from there.
