Guild Wars 2

that sucks man and i agree. the way you would win a certain amount of pips based on your performance was the best idea they implemented in season 1, sadly it was terribly buggy back then and was easily exploitable if you were queueing with ambers when you were in legendary/diamond etc.

the concept was great because people would never throw games, everyone would try their hardest till the end.. hell i remember WINNING 2 pips from a LOSS, would be nice if they brought it back glitch-free

fun enjoyable match

I honestly wish you would’ve stopped trying to balance your videogame at around season 3, at that point you should’ve just stopped nerfing things and instead started buffing the secondary builds for each profession and fixing skill bugs.

I mean these changes kinda suck for me since I was having fun playing the revenant class for the first time since I bought hot, but I guess it’s also good because now I can survive on my ele. Obviously none of this would’ve happened if you hadn’t nerfed their power survivability 2 seasons ago, which was only considered a problem after you butchered condi revenant at the end of season 1.. which is now getting buffed again.. you see what I mean?

And so here again I see the classic thread about the class stacking ‘issue’ and again I cringe.

1) Class stacking restrictions were added to ESL as a result of the season 1 meta. Teams could compete with only 2 builds, bunker mesmer and condition mallyx. ArenaNet has vastly improved their game since then in terms of balance and the builds that were simply broken in season one such as cele ele, scrapper and the ones mentioned before are now balanced. The only exception being bunker mesmer which was overnerfed out of the game.
2) There is no class in this videogame worth stacking more than 2 in one team. Sure, maybe running 4 dragonhunters or 4 reapers can get you out of amber quickly but I’d say at around Sapphire people have already learned how to dodge and the setup stops working. Complaining about multiple dhs, necros and pretty much any class but revenant is just a l2p issue.
3) Being able to change your team’s setup accordingly in the pre-game is one of the better features we have in PvP, I suggest you learn how to use it.

An actual dedicated teamQ (which would obviously be added if Anet were to introduce solo/duoQ – I don’t know why you wouldn’t just assume this, It’s a package)

no, read the poll carefuly.

the reason why it’s such a terrible idea is because you will ONLY be able to queue with one friend. did your other buddy log in? well too kittening bad, you better go play unranked because apparently that’s where the organized teamplay is supossed to be at in season 5 lmao.

and now 80% of people (hopefully) also misunderstood the question and voted yes. gg season 5.

you guys should be thinking of creating rewards and other incentives for people to reach out to other players and make their own teams, not forbid them to queue as a team during a whole ranked season lmfao how you can even consider this is beyond me. you guys were in the right direction when you added that option to invite your teammates at the end of every game, but now it’s like why did you even bother?

bring back solo-q so all the people who end up stuck in ruby every season find other excuses for their loss-streaks? sure. but keep the option to queue as a premade. it’s a team gamemode and not being able to play it with a team on it’s competitive form (i’m not playing unranked during the ranked season) is ridiculous at best.

what a nerd. i wonder why everyone gets so excited when they see anet employees in game lol, especially in pvp as if they were proving something by beating them in a match.

kdaddy.5431:

The fact helseth can win a 1 vs 3 vs them should let them know something.

ikr, it’s so crazy that they lose to a world champion player right? i don’t get why you would think that working at the company that made the game somehow makes them any better than a regular sapph/ruby player lol.

The treb is perfectly balanced as it is.

The only good idea would be to add a telegraph so you can see exactly where you’re about to fire since the reason many people don’t treb is because they don’t know how to aim it. Adding condi ammunition is a terrible idea.

Mel.8495:

I lost my winstreak due to the rollback (and some pips of course) and now on a loosing streak and lost even more pips. This whole season stuff should be abandoned because it is just a mess.

lmao

“Hey team, good job we got 2 points and their whole team is on respawn! Now everyone swap to magi/paladin bunker, type ‘GG’ in map chat and just wait for the game to be over!”

“Wait why did our elementalist swap to a 1v1 build? No man we already have this point, that one guy who died 3 seconds before you did counter-specced first and won the point and now you’ll be useless until your next death.”

Ross Biddle.2367:

Condi Chrono is hard countered by Condi Berserker.

Power Berserker hard counters both condi chrono AND condi berserker.

lol.

and to op: those builds are not unkillable and there will be a season 4 soon, calm down.

My stats:

Started the season in Sapphire
Played duo queue mostly
Alternated between Tempest and Warrior (about 50/50 split)
Win percentage 70%
Longest loss streak 4 games, longest win streak 14 or so

Feedback & suggestions:

Easiest season so far and by far. Build and class diversity was the best we’ve had in the league and the toxicity was very small compared to s1/s2. Changes are looking good. Still would like to see an AFK/Griefing report option and better legendary rewards but other than that it seems like ArenaNet is on the good track.

1) This would be too confusing for new players and not worth trying in a f2p game.

2) Balancing a 5vs5 mode based on 1vs1 would be terrible in this game. People in 1vs1 lobbies are still crying about druids and trapper dragonhunters being ‘too strong’, what does that tell you?

Zelulose.8695:

I doubt Anet wants to sell kids and teens a game with gambling as a supported aspect of the game.

I love this idea.

This is what I’ve always thought. Exalted Legend sounds like a PvE title you get from doing AB or something.

I started doing the luminiscent collections last week and just now realized that it’s literally impossible since these quests are bugged and apparently have been bugged for awhile with no fix. This is extremely surprising to me that ArenaNet would not fix this especially since Living Story 2 is something SOLD SEPARATELY in the Gem Store.

1) Better rewards from participating in the PvP ranked seasons. PvP players should be able to get gold as fast as PvE players.
2) More complex maps like Temple.
3) Rework the lord in Legacy of the Foefire.
4) ELO-like matchmaking.
5) Maximum 2 of the same class per team, not because it’s good but because it’s bad.

And also pls add a mystic forge to hotm.

Diversifying is cool and all but some of us simply don’t enjoy playing 5 different classes and this only encourages us to play badly on character’s we don’t even like in high ranked divisions.. which is why swapping at the end is hardly cheesing imo

Just block them and you’re good.

Such a disappointment, no aura or footsteps.

Gz tho. I’ll have to wait 20ish days to get mine.

there’s no pvp specific forum, where as the subreddit can be pvp specific.

You are… in the pvp… specific… forum…

Dibaryon.7469:

Fresh air is not a support build, and druid far outshines support in PvP when compared to an auramancer (that’s my experience anyways).

1. I know, and it’s one of the reasons why it’s inferior to auramancer.
2. Not really, auramancer is a better teamfight support build.

For what it’s worth, I tried to make fresh air work post-patch, but it just wasn’t good enough.

Fresh Air is still inferior to support Auramancer in conquest.

Lmao yep that’s pretty accurate

Great vid

Tbh Cleric’s is not even that good, it’s just meh. It’s decent in druid but I would never use it on a tempest, Mender’s is just better.

Please.

1) No challenge. If you’re in a premade of 3 or more it’s very difficult to lose, one of the reasons of this is number 2.
2) Nobody takes it seriously. Why would anybody take a game seriously when the whole team is testing random builds, playing badly (no major reward from winning and no punishment for losing/leaving the game) and not to mention half the games are in Skyhammer?
3) No progression. This is just terrible.

I wouldn’t mind all of this if it didn’t last for a month. It’s a huge deal for sPvP players. I love playing conquest with my guildies but we all agree it’s just silly at this point, everyone in my old team quit the game until the next season.

Can we have some sort of different in-between-leagues system? I honestly would prefer paid tournaments rather than this.

I tried Mender’s and I too believe it’s a good replacement for celestial in the auramancer build, however I don’t think going full power is a good option for this build.

Have you tried Sage’s amulet with Doom + Geomancy? It’s more diverse dps (great condi pressure) and what I’ve noticed to be the closest to what Celestial used to be.

Got my item thanks

this seems really weak support tbh, why not take the aura sharing, especially if you are taking soothing ice

after testing diamond skin i still believe it’s a must have. you only really have trouble against necros and other heavy condi builds

Necro is top tier but dies to thief.

Ele still beats both ranger and dh easily.

Condi warrior is great.

When do we get the title? Thanks.

Wow that’s unbelieveable. You would think they’d have a better system to prevent cheating.

Why even put in matchmaking if you can just lose a pip if a random person you don’t even know DCs? I could literally just queue up alone and DC over and over and make everyone lose pips forever. It just does not make any sense.

Thanks for the reply tho, I assumed it was a bug but the fact that it’s by design is very impressive to me.

5 of us queued up league and got into a match. One of us DCd before the match started (waiting time), he came back later and we still won, but we ALL lost a pip by “desertion”.

So let me get this straight.. if ONE person in our team DCs we might as well just quit the match because we are ALL going to lose a pip anyways? Is this a bug or is it just terrible design? Whatever it is, it needs a fix, very frustrating thing to happen when you’re trying to climb.
