Guild Wars 2

I didn’t like the season. MMR really got me few times and made me literally feel nothing but disgust towards the whole game.

Balance is joke. Looking at you necros and guardians. If 70% of players choose one class and one build there is fundamentally something wrong.

And worst part? Anet once again does nothing. All it would take is just very minor tweaks and most problems would be fixed but this lazy kitten company hates their customers so much they rather see game die than fix problems.

Zerk thief is easiest kill for fresh air imho. Like someone said earlier all you really need is super fast reflexes. Obsidian Flesh needs to land just on time or you are dead.

I’ve few friends who are sitting on multiple first halloween items. Talking closer to 100 skins if counted altogether. The log once in a while to check prices (dunno why they didn’t sell at 5k). Lets remind ourselves that it was fairly easy to get the skins when they came out and you could buy cheap ones for 10-20g back in the days.

There probably are still thousands of halloween skins sitting on banks. The first big wave of quitters left around after first halloween. At least all of my friends quit around that ime.

There is something really broken in current system. I’m not a good player but i did not lose a single match in sapphire league, not a single one. In ruby i get 10-15win streaks and then can lose 10-20 in row just like that. Even lost two 5v4s just proves the MM puts all the really crappy ones in same team vs godlike players.

Yep, no matter what build you have or what tactics you use pretty all good player (starting from diamond →) will stomp on you. Ele feels really broken atm.

If you still really, really, really want to play ele in SPVP only viable option IMHO is s/f with fresh air build you can still get some reapers, zerk rangers and thiefs if you are good.

Bump for justice.

Just Anet things. Delay stuff you promised 3months ago for no reason or explanation.

This thread must be a trolling campaign. This “progressive” crap is getting out of hand.

Yep. Crashed at 99%. Constantly crashing in larger events. Lets kick some programmers and hire few more social media managers so we can at least pretend someone cares while we whine here at forums!

Yes this is bugged atm. Report it please

I’ve been playing since betas and saw the free fall after first months of release and steady downhill after that.

Community has been very clear: STOP THE GOD kitten LIVING STORY AND GIVE USE THE GOD kitten EXPANSION PACKS. NO MORE STORY CRAP. GIVE US NEW DUNGEONS, NEW ARENAS. GIVE US SOMETHING NEW.

Stop playing around Anet. If you cant afford data analyser here one tip for free: YOU ARE LOSING, PLAYERS ARE QUITTING.

What is Anets recipe for 2 years of steady downhill? More of the same. More of same stuff that makes people quit in first place. Its like you want to kill this game.

I think everything has been said in this thread. ATM there is absolutely no point using focus in any situation. CDs are way too long and half of the skills are plain useless.

Bump for justice. Fix it Anet.

I would lower the max players per map, forcing players from enormous servers to spread out amongst all the other servers to avoid queues.

I’m from Desolation and we came second on spring tournament and by enormous servers you mean servers like Deso. Funny fact is that we never have queues except friday evenings when servers resets. I can literally go WvW without waiting pretty much anytime of the day and instantly. During prime time we have 10-40ppl queue on EB but all borderlands are usually clear to go, 24/h. This really isn’t problem anymore.

8 WEEKS and you guys didn’t even test a simple reward system. Actually it’s even worse than that because some of these problems occured during last season too.

WELL GZ on nice launch in China.

Yes you can. Only minus is that you need to accept every new IP when logging in.

Only happy, positive circle hugging rainbows everywhere type of community is real community? Naa, i don’t think so. More drame more interesting. Infact Anet should totally turn blind eye to whole WvW/SPVP forums so we could start real flame wars. Now its kinda lame.

The game is too easy when zerker is only option. People just want finish content fast and get rewards. Healer, balanced or bunker providers close to zero benefit in current PvE.

If you’re on SFR and are NOT aware of your servers double teaming it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

It most likely is just few guilds doing it and rest are waving their hands “hurdjur we honest server”. I’ve been on Deso for really, really, really long time and i have never seen anyone talking about double teaming on public map chat or anywhere else. Not even on TS but i’m more than certain it has happened because thats just nature of WvW.

Nothing frustrates more than seeing these lets politely call them balloon heads coming to these forums and swearing on their mothers name they are not double teaming when statistics/screenshots/videos all kind of evidence show exactly the opposite.

SFR and BB double teamed on deso and that is a sad fact that is absolutely undeniable. It wasn’t whole SFR server or whole BB server it was few guilds but just enough to have an impact on results.

Inb4 deso tears. You fear us.

Ah good thread. Feels like its 2012 again. Same story.

Amount of frustration over 9000. I don’t think there are anymore question if they are double teaming but why? It makes no sense at all.

Imi.9387:

SFR would never doubleteam. More correctly, SFR has no allies when it comes to WvW. We are looking for worthy enemies! This week Baruch Bay proved to be much more of a challenge than Desolation. They were clearly superior in numbers and in quality… which is also why they didn’t end up in third place.

Hopefully you don’t believe this yourself or you just might need some mental health help :-D.

SFR has always been lame server for lame people every since it started winning something. About 99% of the server population have jumped into winning band wagon.

What else you can expect?

RNG.. ah lovely. First of all to put your QQ in scale i have played since beta and i have NEVER EVER seen a precursor drop. My wife got 3 from mystic toilet in one week. Life sucks and then you die.

As a fellow male human elementalist i’ve been wondering same thing. On female most armors look decent or good but on male its just horrible. Some male armors even have random holes in chest pieces. I don’t want to show off my man boobs, just not quite yet.

Money talks and Anet programs. Race change will come sooner or later. Most likely later.

Arenanet/NCsoft ain’t doing so well financially at the moment so you never know might come within few months. Thats what i personally and most of the community hopes for.

Go Gandara, go FS! Your teamwork is looking good! Do you guys use voice communication btw?

Woah, Gandara and FSP have taken double teaming to totally new level.

The stuff we just witnessed in FS borderlands was just beyond ridiculous. Gandara & FSP zergs sitting right next to each other trebbing Bay. Once they made hole in wall Gandara took the boss room and FS was killing us from walls.

I’m not personally fan of night zerging (i still remember the fights against Viz) but after todays performance by FS & Gandara i hope our little PVE community zergs all night.

Interesting statistics. Wish people would contribute more similar stuff.

I’m happy with my elementalist but that doesn’t mean its balanced. I have played every other class as well and put really time and effort studying class mechanics on all professions and i can tell elementalists are currently slightly under powered what comes to SPvP.

Bunker elementalist seem to be only play style that can be usefull, but then again question is why elementalist and not guardian that can do same job but 1.5x better?

Or why dual dagger burts elementalist when you can have thief doing same stuff 2x better?

You can basicly think of any ele build and some other class does it better.

After reading blog post by Jonathan Sharp i gotta admit for couple of minutes i felt extremely frustrated and disapointed. No rankings, no spectator mode, no new game modes, well altogether nothing community have been begging for. Except for one thing: private servers.

It seems many of us (and some are too young) to remember old glory days when competitive gaming was handled through IRC (“LF 5on5 mid-high!11”) and match results were posted to sites like Clanbase and they handled the rankings. (See for example: <a href=“http://clanbase.ggl.com/rating.php?lid=4732”>Enemy territory 2on2 ladder</a>). Hell, Even national cups were done this way!

My question is when server renting comes available what stops us from creating our own ranking system? It seems Arenanet have put sPvP on very low priority so we as community need to step up and create our own scene.

Only thing i see we lack after renting server is possible is spectator mode. For any electronic sport its ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to have live audience.

Anyway, this was just my 50cents and sorry for crappy english. It is my third language but hopefuly point was made.

Thoughts, comments?

Very good post and very well done examples DJRiful! I totally agree this is problem for asuras should be fixed ASAP.

My thoughts exactly op!

ArenaNet really need to start giving ETAs and information about future plans or this game will be nothing but follow up for couple of fail MMORPGS published in last years which would be tragedy.

340hours+ played and PvE wise this game can’t offer me anything i could enjoy. I want competive pvp. Competive isn’t synonyme for matchin up against random teams in tournaments and asking yourself question “how the heck did these guys make it to the third round.”

Casuals might find alot stuff to do for couple of months, but fact is when all competiveness is gone hardcore players will dissapear and soon after that casuals will start quitting too. We all who have followed MMORPG scene past 10 years or even longer period have witnessed this multiple times.

We are really close to that point where hardcore players are just jumping around in Lion’s arch asking themself what to do and we all know what that will lead to.

Please Arenanet, just PLEASE give us information and dates. We need true competive side for this game!
