Guild Wars 2

the tears in this thread are priceless

Shukran.4851:

what gw1 players expected when we passed to gw2..

omg my old game days

GW’s base pvp system & everything around it lasted for 10+ years, GW2’s lasted a couple months and took 6+ years to develop so far (not sure how long it took to develop the base of GW1, probably less than 6years). The usual overhyped sequel of a massively popular & succeeding franchise getting cash cow’d, doesnt deliver and turns out to be bullkitten nowadays, no need to give you examples other than GW2 there are alot of games that got this treatment recently.

Friday: still forest. kitten pls
Saturday: still forest. kitten pls
Sunday: still forest. pls no?
Monday: probably still forest. STAHP!!1
Tuesday: PvP has been shut down and Anet is now hiring new devs to remake everything. pls?

MM seems dysfunctional cause there aren’t enough people playing GW2 PvP right now.

Why aren’t there enough people playing it though? because no incentives, no goals to aim for as a player/team.

Steal isnt rng. it varies based on the class you steal from. But its always the same thing for each class.

It used to be RNG as far as I care to remember.

Lol tornado when you jump? Are you sure you don’t want to do the bug thingy too?

Elixir X Tornado doesn’t glitch self rez. Right now if you jump while using Elixir X it negates the whole thing tho, you don’t even transform if you are jumping at the end of it so that would also fix this bug.

I am not interested in abusing any bug of any sorts and I do not encourage anyone to, your team does it shamelessly though.

I was just asking because it could resolve the lag you have before dying. It’s called coincidence btw.

Off topic lol. It’s called cheap servers from AN btw.

TrustyTurkey.1653:

You did it too, trying to act like a victim and making up won’t help you. People quit cause motherkitteners like you ruin their fun exploiting them.

Well then I don’t know what to tell you. I think I explained myself pretty well in the other paragraph. I even remember that game pretty well; I was at mid for the most part, and can assure you, it wasn’t used on my part. People quit because of the lack of support from the company that makes this game, explaining why it hasn’t been fixed. If we run more than one ele again, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen on purpose, but that’s about all I can say. Peace

Off topic and unnecessary anyway.

Need to fix the Ranger underwater downed skills as well. Raid on Capricorn is annoying enough without having to fight an immortal Ranger underwater.

If you’re unfamiliar with it due to hating underwater combat on this map, it’s a bug that lets their pet continue to heal them even after you kill it or after they swap pets. Interrupts (dazes/stuns/etc) don’t stop the pet from completely healing the Ranger when he’s downed. Unless you have a couple glass cannon builds on him you won’t kill him.

Is it game breaking? No, I just stay out of the water when the enemy team has a Ranger down there. However, it is very annoying and makes this already hated map even more of an annoyance to play on. I’m sure it affects WvW also, but in less of a degree.

Just throwing another bug out there.

It is game breaking on Temple of the Silent Storm in the water room for the 3cap buff.

A ranger in the water stops you from capping the buff on the land?

Yes.

TrustyTurkey.1653:

PS: it’d be much appreciated if you stopped taunting in front of my toon and insulting the members of my team. My teammates may have run it, but feel free to look at my past broadcasts on Twitch to see I didn’t even have it equipped. The sheer immaturity around the mists and the forums explains why new players aren’t attracted to PvP; get along, even if you have to fake it, since the population is dwindling.

felivear.1536:

You should probably post this on the PvE forums and say it’s ruining events or something like that. Then, you’ll get a fix in around 20 minutes.

Thanks for the heads up, I forgot about that trick.

Noctis Assassin.4035:

It is as gamebreaking as the svanir rune/block bugs. An ele in tornado is the equivalent of a thief in daggerstorm, punish him for thinking he is doing something beneficial for the team. But because of the bug, its like the ele is in a combination of plague and lich form, you can’t ignore him but you can’t attack him.

P.S: Not saying tornado should be useless (like daggerstorm) but it shouldn’t be gamebreaking.

There is a bug that revives you if you die while in tornado, I think you missed this part.

Darcy.2079:

If only RNGs were removed so that I can enjoy playing engineers as much as I enjoy watching this engineer video.

Whoever made that video is kittening brilliant.

I’ve had enough of the tornado bug self rez eles already. People run 3-4 of them in tournaments, when are you going to start hotfixing game breaking bugs such as these?

No one should have to wait til the end of a month for game breaking bugs to get fixed, there is absolutely no incentive to play the game right now and it’s just absolutely kitten to have to deal with the dirty souls out there abusing glitches in PvP since day 1, it takes the fun out of the game. I know it sucks for the kids out there that can’t win without these bugs but it has to be done.

Solution A: Take actions and punish the abusers.

Solution B: Hotfix kittens.

If none of the solutions are met more players will quit playing again. Both solutions would be great but the actual PvP community is so small right now you might as well just go with Solution B. I’d rather have a couple scumbag abusers banned than a bunch quit cause of them if you can’t fix kitten XYZ yet.

RIP GW2 PVP, it will take a god kitten miracle to revive you and I’ll be waiting for it like the return of J.C. (aka perhaps will never happen).

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if logging off before a loss dodged rating change for your account looking at how flawed every single thing that’s in this game can get.

One step forward, two step backwards.

I’ve seen players that I know have access to PTR and are in touch with devs constantly logging out at the end of losing games (i.e. Java). Imho this game will end up like GW1 if the PTR doesn’t go public (i.e. [rawr] dominating every single MATs for a year, they had access to PTR and helped Izzy balance the game I believe), theres no reason not to make it public it can only bring good stuff for the community and will help keep the game healthy and bugless, no surprises.

bump bump bump…

Sword used to be boss mode in gw1 idk why they did this to it in gw2 :/

Im Like a 9 & Woroshima are prob the best out there lol

Solution for Elixir H: Make it proc swiftness out of combat & in combat proc protection, same with tossed elixirs.

Solution for Elixir X: When you use it while jumping it procs Tornado, when you use it normally it procs Rampage. Make it proc rampage only at best.

RNGs are just excessively unhealthy in any PvP system, just give this treatment to every single RNG possible imo.

You did it for some mesmer RNGs why not engineer’s etc yet?

Share your thoughts on this agree/disagree.

Remove AI & RNGs from the game.

Results: Healthier pvp experience.

Ostricheggs.3742:

Personally I believe that an HGH condi engi played at the skill cap (with a battle sigil, might stacking runes and short fuse) is by far the best build in the entire game. It blows out the competition by a kittening mile.

Crippling yourself doesn’t increase skill cap, stop misleading people.

Everything. I printed my engineer’s face on a poster with rainbows, bacon and naked women as a symbol of glory for all engineers to embrace me as their savior.

I am proud to kick kittens with a subpar tier B class according to this kittenty tier list.

Foefire.

From my point of view, nothing has changed in any possible way.

Since paid tournaments had been changed to single matchmaking queue, there were still awful queue times since I was winning alot therefore getting punished for winning alot of games and diminished rewards. Then they renamed paids to free, removed QPs (they didnt matter anyway) and it sounded like I should get to play more but I still get to wait 10 minutes average to face low ranked solo queuers because all the competitive players/teams quit (can’t blame them). That might not be the case on EU, but that’s how it is on NA servers.

You even get more glory from mindlessly zerging in hotjoins than you do in frees where you have better odds of actually improving at the game. What’s to do with glory right now anyway? Nothing but aesthetics.

Modern human logic: Stupidity is rewarded.

I really enjoy playing the game, but I do not feel rewarded whatsoever for anything I may accomplish, all competition is gone & it got worse than it used to be the past two attempts you tried to make it better. Wheres the incentive to play this game aka keep the players for the long run and push the players to be competitive in GW2 PvP?

@Devs: Your tactics at attempting to make GW2 PvP a more enjoyable experience were not well thought-out enough imho.

Share your opinion and PoV(both NA& EU), I would like to read about it.

sounds like a player skill issue

I gotta agree with homie Kontrol here

just get off that class

no way! having more fun than when I started abusing trap ranger.

good joke

just get off that class

Davinci.8027:

The original build is Hiba’s, not Teldo’s.

Ayestes.1273:

I’ve even heard it came to Hiba from an unknown source, but many of us had very similar builds regardless. Hiba deserves credit regardless for spreading it around and destroying everyone in highest level of play & shifting the engineer meta with it though.

Edit: NewER condi build

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqalspSXHxSfF17ICoC5loHPGlNZfewWPIEC;ToAAzCpo+y8l4L7XuvkfNWYKC

Best one I’ve found so far. This crosses into the realm of ridiculous. I’ve seen 155 bleed ticks with this build. Absolutely OP. Seriously, this is dumb. Good enough survivability, INSANE damage, ridiculous cleaves and general condi-output

You’ve finally figured out my build, good job.

kostbabis.8791:

leashmaygoss.2140:

hey even buffed your god kitten auras

Ah yeah.. about this.Since people know you and might actually take you seriously auras were nerfed.10% less damage for 7 sec every 40 sec is as bit less than 2 % total damage decrease.Considering that people would tend to avoid fully bursting you with the aura its even less.Hardly the tradeback for losing the too good to be honest chill stacking you could inflict.Same with shock aura and its 2 sec cd..
Only fire aura was buffed but its hardly ever seen in d/d ,non existant in s/d and otherwise completely subpar to every other aura even afer the nerfs on them and the buff on it.
I cant believe you couldnt figure this out??

Good joke.

mursie.3681:

I apologize if this has already been said but, I feel like everyone is really getting fleeced here.

First, the barrier to entry of “paids” was all but removed when paids became a single match 1 ticket option. Everyone has tickets…you get them for literally afking your daily in a hotjoin, so doing a “paid” no longer had a barrier. Second, the matchmaking in these new “paids” was already in place and working.

With that said, this BIG NEW PVP Patch is literally quite unbelievable from what I read on the front page of the site. Basically, to paraphrase, the patch is as follows:

“Hi all, we renamed the “paid” tournament to “free”. There is no 1 ticket cost either. Infact..we deleted tickets. Oh, and your QP’s too.

The free tournaments that existed still exist. We did not change them.

THIS IS HUGE!!!!!"

uh…deleting tickets and Qp’s and renaming the “paid” to “free” is huge? sigh

qft, nothings new.

The worst part of it is we all got the news from a site that is not GW2.

@ArenaNet: You’d rather tell some other site before your own community? way to go.

ArenaNet needs to admit their failure.

Build wars 2.

Ostricheggs.3742:

You have a harder time fighting against condi builds as an ele, of course. I’m not disputing that. What I am disputing is the efficacy of a condi build in the current meta with multiple eles and rangers. Two eles = 4 cleanses every 10 seconds in an AoE. Two eles + a guard/ranger with healing spring = lol

And 4 people aren’t spamming condis. At most there are two players in a condi build in the very large majority of comps for good reason. AoE condi removal from multiple sources can have a massive effect on a condi build. I’ve seen it first hand and it’s the reason why I don’t run a condi build 24/7.

And engis do have the largest selection of condis in the game and are the best at condi application by a long shot. But even with the rapid application, a simple empathic bond tick or absolute res guardian will buttkitten our large cooldown skills immensely (freeze nade, blowtorch, glue shot, static shot and even shrapnel grenade all have sizable cooldowns)

All I’m saying is is that hiba is being misleading. Condis have their place, you just have to pick and choose based on the comp/specs the other team is running as well as your own. Power can be far more effective.

good joke

Good 1v2 ostrich.

At ease.

1. Pressure eles.

2. Pressure some more.

3. Coordinate CC & damage on rangers.

4. Cleave corpse.

5. Profit.

If you don’t pressure eles, they can freely use their mist form for other purposes than escaping from death like turning around the fight with a mist stomp/rez. You want to put enough pressure on them so they pop their mist & heals so that they won’t be able to use those to support. You also want to keep track of their cooldowns such as mist form as much as possible.

After pressuring the eles you can fairly easily push on their backline and bring down the rangers with good CC & damage coordination.

Remember to pay extreme attention to your positioning at all times against such aoe heavy team compositions. Keep it clean keep it lean.

tl;dr: don’t suck.

If people are still crying about eles & rangers being OP after reading this then maybe I’ll care to give you more tips and information. Maybe.

You don’t need 3 of them but that would probably work really well. Overkill if you ask me though, I have honor.
