Guild Wars 2

I get reported 5-15 times a day everytime I play this game. And im still not perma- banned. Just LOL if you think the report system works in this game.

Unless you are botting or selling gold, you have to do an insane amount of trolling/afking and swearing in the map chat just to get a 3 day bann. I know cuz I ’ve done it.

And just Afking will never get somebody banned. I’ve done worse than afking like feeding enemy team and running around with no armor and no offhand and never got banned.

Pretty much only verbal abuse get you banned.

just LOL at you if you are still trying to solo Q in this game. Its not worth the time.

If your team sucks major D’s just leave or afk at base if you care about the reward trac.k.

And people cant report you anyway. Anet will never bann anybody for afking. I still dont know why people spamm ‘’report afk’’ when nothing will happen lol

It’s not only thieves. 2 of anything is bad except D/D or staff bunker ele’s in this meta. But in solo Q everything works, if some1 tells you to swap classes in a solo Q you can tell them to go kitten themselves.

So basically arenanet only removes content from their game and makes it worse every patch.

Cuz spvp is dead. And just like ellesee said, most people already quit or cant get on abjured’s level because there’s no reason to do it. And the game actually rewards people for mindleslly spamming their skills, I dont see why anybody should be concerned about improving their gameplay.

Shadow Arts thief vs PU mesmer, assuming equal skill, the fight wont end. So if you dont even have shadow arts you will lose. But If you take shadow arts you will survive but wont be able to kill the mesmer.

It will just be a stealth war like betwenn 2 D/P shadow arts thief and you both reset until you really mess up your rotation and die from it

The stupid part is that a PU mesmer can still shatter for 20k while shadow arts thief can barely backstab for 7k lol.

Because in this game all the damage is either passive or comes from stealth. There’s nothing wrong with damage or even 1 shot mechanics like FPS games where you can just headshot but when its all passive crap or 0 counter play moa stealth 1 shot then it becomes stupid.

Well I had nothing to do and decided to make a poll. Idiotic or not, it is what it is. If you are unhappy then dont vote for kitten’s sake.

Blooperz.6145:

Nope, wouldn’t even consider it…the game is progressing and it’s a step in the right direction. Sure it needs some serious fine tuning, but what game doesn’t.

P.s Your Voting options are highly biased and utterly useless…

Ofc some voting options are useless when I have to put 5 choices but its a Yes/No question. So I had to put some random options in there lol.

Answer this poll, Im sure many people agree with me the game was better a couple patches ago.

You don’t need to play well with shadow arts. vamp+ shadow rejuv carries too hard.

Pepsi.8907:

It’s QQ when no justification is brought alongside your “facts”

Nan, QQing would like like this : ‘’ OMG PLS NERF NO SKILLLZ BRAINDEAD OVERPOWED CLASS !’’

your 1v1s lasted 15 mins? Shadow arts hero spotted. Also send me your stuff before you leave.

I believe the intent of the change to acrobatics and vigor was to punish players like you who dodge without any real thought, though unfortunately they went about this the wrong way and gutted the trait-line in the process.

Personally, I’d like to believe that the intent was to reward players who dodge better than random chance, but be it either way, it doesn’t accomplish that. Even if somebody was so good that they’d successfully evade most of the time (>75% chance), they still wouldn’t get as much use out of the Acrobatics traitline as from other lines.
In short, it’s below par for everyone.

So basically you’re both saying they made this change to punish random dodging thieves who were still being succeful on the S/D acro build aka getting carried by an abnormally high amount of evades. So isint reducing the evade up-time supposed to make good S/D thieves untouched and only affect scrubs who were random dodging ???

Everything is super easy to play right now anyway. I haven’t seen or a tested a single build that requires skill or a brain since the patch. You just either go full glass and one shot people by pressing random buttons or you go full condi tank and soak up all the damage while doing ridiculous passive burn damage.

Mesmer would be just fine if stealth had more counter play than just : be a bunker to not get insta-killed or use stealth yourself.

Because honestly if you cant dodge mirrior blade into mind wrack you deserve to die if the mesmer isint stealthed.

But again stealth has no counter play in this game which makes mesmer stronger than ever with the buffed over all damage.

Thief/mesmer combo is the new aids in conquest PvP. Stealth, 1 shot , repeat.

You forgot shadow arts thief.

thief is so boring to play now, there’s basically 0 risk with the shadow arts traitline.

After joining a custom arena in PvP ( like a dueling arena) , it kicks me out of the client and says error and i have to launch gw2 again…

I’ve never seen or played a game without a proper solo Q system except gw2 obviously.

I know as crazy as it sounds but some people like myself actually like the randomness you get from solo Qing, Either in a FPS game or MMO. For exemple in a FPS game you join a random game and end up with 3 hackers in your team which is much more fun than playing with the same 5-10 people ……

Anyway I wish the game didint force people to team up. Not everybody wants to do it or can match the gaming schedule of their teammates.

If i want to log in for 30 min for some casual pvp , I should be able to. Just like try hard people can go to ESl and win actual money.

Solo Q in this game dosent exist since the crap patch. And the additon of guild PvP teams will kill it even more.

Even if most premades can be beaten by pugs, I dont feel like trying hard and playing with an unfair disadvantage vs full premade on voice coms..

And making such a horrific solo Q expeirence will also affect other people that want to play in a team. Unless all their friends have no liife and are always there to play with them, there will be a moment when they will be forced to solo Q and get farmed by premades.

So why does this game hates solo Q’ers so much to pair them with 3 mesmers against a full premade 3 games in a row? Im just giving an example, you dont need to verify my PvP history … So Why is that???!!?

Just cause I know you in game… you were about to quit the game and you wanted to leave asap but you’re back to actually caring about the game? You’re either a troll or a tryhard, you can’t be both :P

With that being said, Anet doesn’t care about soloq and they never will. It was a solution to people qqing over the fact that they couldn’t effective duo queue against full team but since so many people have quit the game since that patch, it’s no longer an issue really.

I also agree that this team guild thing is amazing but ONLY IF THEY PUT IN A SOLOQ OPTION SO THAT THESE TEAMS THAT RUN IN UNRANKED AND RANKED WILL NOT STOMP THE SOLOQERS THAT DONT HAVE A TEAM OR JUST WANT TO SOLOQ

I would quit if they banned me but even after being a complete kitten , arenanet refuses to bann me from this game. So I still play sometimes but whenever I play , I just then leave immediately and would rather play something else instead.

Cuz solo Qing under this system is near dam impossible. And even grouping up isn’t fun in ranked Q because the game is dead and it will only pair people vs solo Qers.

Just kittening quit. Why do you need them to ban you to quit? Sounds like addiction to me and your just justifying it.

Not an addiction if I’m a casual player. Its just how I roll. Every game I played , I got perma banned and it gave me a good reason to never look back. It won’t happen with gw2 I guess, cuz developers don’t give a kitten apparently lol.

So you’ve hated every game you have ever played including gw2 but you don’t stop playing them until you get banned (aka you literally can no longer play it)….. sounds casual.

Yes after I get bored I mess around and get myself banned on purpose. Plenty of people do that, hackers in FPS games are a great example. When you’re not having fun anymore by playing the game like it was intended , you do some stupid stuff that get you banned.

You may think its stupid and childish but it makes sense. Its like getting tiered of your job and then saying kitten off to your boss. You will get fired and move on.

The fact that the system allegedly stacks odds against solo players actually gives me an incentive to play in teams more often than not. Even when I wasn’t apart of a fantastic pvp guild, I would always try to grab a friend or two to play with me which helped make me a better pvper in general and made the game more fun.

I don’t think the solo experience should be absolutely terrible in the game, but I’m also happy that gw2 makes it obvious the exploring content (in all 3 game modes) with friends will make the gaming experience that much better.

I never said I wanted to become a better player but wanted to play a fair game where im not vs 3-5 man try hard premade on voice comm while solo Qing. If I wanted a serious challenge I wouldnt be playing this game in the first place.

I knew people would bring this up… So pls stop the stupid argument about ‘’oh I like the challenge when the odds are against me’’. This is bullkitten no offense. Why the odds should be against me when I payed the same amount of money as everybody else to play the game?

,If you people think arenanet will keep things that way , you are being delusional. Its obvious that 60606 thief build will be the most ridiculous overpowered crap that ever existed.

And think about that build being 66606 because they basically combined DA+ crit strikes together by putting executionner in there and removing stats from trait lines and adding extra stats to the PvP amulets instead.

You can expect heavy nerfs to DA for sure and SA because people QQ’ed about it for so long.

SA won’t be meta because it can be counter built too easily with lock on and analyze. You could be locked out of a mechanic for too long. I’m not saying you’ll get killed by the engi, but 1/3 of your traits could be rendered useless. You can’t be locked out of CS or Acro.

The only reason it will be problematic its because engineers got buffed to a ridiculous level too. So if teams start running double engi it can be problematic but against everything else that build will be dominating.

And no crit strikes is not worth it anymore and acro got nerfed along with vigor across the board. SA will be the way to go.

And most engineers players said that lock on trait isint that good, they would lose too much utility/damage just to get a crappy trait to annoy thieves which they already counter anyway.. especially on point.

I agree with u man. 50$ for a new class and few trash specialisations like longbow guardian is a joke. The expansion should have been free after all their poor decisions and lack of true content.

I think they are just trying to make as much money as they can before the game dies completly.

60606 thief will be broken as hell for sure. Arenanet should already start changing shadow rejuv before releasing the patch that way. Because then people will cry so much that they will nerf thief in a complete stupid way.

Shadow arts thief is already overpowered but not used in sPvP because it doesn’t contribute. But now that it can have both utility+ DPS traits with the sustain from SA it will indeed be a bad joke.

<i got easy 1k++hrs on thief and 1400+ matches on the new system />

lets face it: D/P did force the rest of the builds out of the meta already. And now its gonna be more silly than ever.

For someone who says they have so much thief experience, you sure don’t know what you are talking about. D/P didn’t force the rest of the builds out of the meta. The nerf to precasting flanking strike hurt S/D. The initiative increase on pistol whip hurt S/P.

D/P was always better. The only reason S/D was meta after LS nerf is because of Sizer winning the ToL with it.

Engineers didn’t need help against thieves. Arenanet either dosent play their game or just stupid. They should have given it to mesmers instead , 3 sec reveal on a succeful shatter would make sense.

cant tell unless you join a team and compete agianst other high tier teams. solo Q’ers are automatically scrub tier in this unfair system that puts solo Qers vs premades to get farmed all day.

What can ANet do to stop people from going afk?

I would be fine with having their accounts terminated, or at least permanently banned from participating in pvp. If they want to try again, they can go buy another account.

lol pls. Most people that go afk already know that the game is over.Lets say you’re getting rolfstomped by a premade while your solo Q pug has like 3 mesmers. In that case its better to go afk than playing the match.

Only stupid people stay and play one sided games.

glock.6590:

Thief is not not OP but its game breaking . Even if they nerf it more than they already did it will still be broken due to the core mechanics of the class. The only solution is to redesign the class or leave it that way.

You could literally nerf everything by 30% and it would still be broken . Because other classes can’t match an initiative system which allows to spam daze/blind , high stealth/ evade uptime depeding on the build and multiple instant gap closers.

And long stealth duration in conquest is just stupid. If a thief goes stealth near your close point, you basically either have to afk there or move and get decapped 3 seconds later. No matter what you do ,the thief wins by making you waste time or kill your teammates outnumbered while you sit there and wonder if you gonna get decapped or not.

Stealth duration need a nerf for sure. Getting 1 sec of stealth for a blast/leap sounds reasonable and 5 sec on shadow refuge would be great too.

Since thief is so “broken” how did abjured win without a thief in their comp with enemy team running one? I mean obviously thief team should have cuz thief prof is so broken in this game, right?

Because they stacked celestial self-sustain bunker classes to win. Thats how. And thats the only reliable counter to thief. Being tanky and having good sustained damage/healing does well against thief.

The real counter play to stealth is actually very simple> being a bruiser or a bunker. A shoutbow for example can affrod to eat 4-5 backstabs in a row , same goes with cele ele/engi , bunker ranger and even medi guard.

Anything that isint tanky or doesn’t have high recovery , will find stealth extremely frustrating to fight against unless you can obviously counter stealth ( being a thief yourself)

So the lack of counter play to stealth only affects glass/zerker builds going up against a thief. I don’t know how it would be possible to nerf thief vs zerker builds without affecting it against tankier builds or high recovery builds like medi guard.

I bought the game and actually thought it would be a good game. I got trolled hard…..

Lol people keep saying DPS guard hard counters thief when the current PS meta thief actually does pretty well vs medi DPS guard . DPS guard only counters D/P crit strikes with HiS heal . Also … the old S/D build was always good against guard. So the hard counter argument is pretty much an l2p issue. I play this game rather casually and I don’t feel hard countered by guards on the PS meta thief. So the only thing that can succefully shut down a thief is another thief, that’s why people ask for other zerkers to be more viable. Its a reasonable suggestion.

In theory other zerker classes could actually beat a thief 1v1 but in a real match you can’t do anything vs stealth and thief can just wait in stealth until you have no cooldowns and one shot you if you have a zerker ammy. So unless you are a bunker or a thief yourself you can’t do anything vs stealth. The duration obviously needs a nerf, thieves don’t need to get revealed or anything because that would be too punishing and some builds can already faceroll the keyboard and be succeful so just lowering or capping stealth to 5 secs would solve a lot of problems. Cuz even fresh air ele could actually beat a thief if they couldn’t refuge for a century and come back once the ele already used all his CD’s.

Stealth should be capped to 5 secs even as a group stealth . Because logically speaking stealth does have counter play if its a short duration stealth , you can use some cooldowns and be prepared, but if the thief or the stealthed group just waits and spikes you down from a mile away because of infinite stealth then I see no counterplay. Same for 1v1 when thief uses refuge. And I main thief so not biased, perma stealth has always been stupid in this game and it even ruins the thief v thief 1v1. That’s why I never do wvw , because I know other thieves will just sit in stealth for a century until they heal back up and try again.
Basically long stealth duration its what dosent have any counter play. Short stealth duration is balanced that’s why nobody QQ about mesmers except lordsicky.

Lordsicky you made a QQ post about every class at this point about how it takes no skill and its overpowered. Is there something that takes skill and that isn’t overpowered to you? I’m just curious.

Typical weak/soft player that’s gets offended by few words behind a computer screen. I wonder what those people do if it happens in real life, do you call the cops and stay at your home to prevent any abuse?

Man they just need to un-nerf turret engis so everybody can feel that they are playing a skillfull build compared to the turreters .

Change the title to “DP shadow arts” because that’s what it is.

This game was already on sale for 10$ … And nobody cared about it. So making it f2p won’t change anything besides adding more gold sellers or hackers.

The player base would skyrocket for like a month and then people will realize how crappy the game is and they will leave.

Although f2p could be good for trolling . Making multiple accounts to troll the forums and kitten off people in game sounds fun.

The only thing I hate about shoutbows is the banner. People started to run 2 shoutbows per team and you can’t interrupt both banners. So it becomes extremely annoying having to kill people 8 times instead of 2 because of the banner and sometimes it wins the team fight for free or even a 2v2 .

I really think the banner is OP in conquest when there’s 2 shoutbows on one team. 1 warrior is OK you can just stick to him like a glue and spam interrupts until he realizes his banner is useless but 2 warriors is freaking cancer. Especially in solo Q.

And about thief…. There’s a pretty easy fix/nerf. Just cap stealth duration to 5 seconds. So people can’t reset the fight or 1 shot group stealth from very far away. Also nerf improv and air/fire. Without that thief wouldn’t be godmode.

Same for me! it started yesterday after I got stuck in a PvP match. I logged out and came back 3 hours later and finally got out but was unable to Queu ranked or Unranked. I submit a ticket but they said they have too many tickets and won’t be able to answer.

same here, unable to play. I wait 1h 30 and the Q stil dosent pop.

Not bugged lmao. I cancelled the Q 2 times, at 22min and 10 min. So its actually 1h 30 Q….. Pls dont try to defend stronghole.

1 hour Q times to play stonghold. This has failed before release . Sorry anet.

He never said that cele ele takes skill though. We all already know that cele ele and cele warr/engi takes no skill but at least you cant take 5k random damage every 5 seconds.
And with those procs it lowers the skill cap of other classes too like thief/necro/guard

If you asked me 1 year ago if thief takes skill I woulda said yes. But in the current state the vamp rune panic strike thief is really faceroll due to its OP damage with sigils and high survivability

Same with necro. Gets a full LF bar and then starts spamming 8k autoattacks with air/fire spinals shivers. Medi guard is also one of the easiest builds in the game, spamming random buttons that are mostly insta cast and then relying on passives procs to hit 6-8k damage in one second.

Zerker builds are actually catching up the celestial builds in terms of being easy and effective because of passives.

Same….. people always think im a troll whenever I cap a point. Here’s a proof.
