Its funny because you determine their skill level by their toon they switched too maybe they suck on their main too the problem isnt the stack/switching off classes its the way matchmaking and balance works in this game locking classes would make it allmost impossible for solo queuers as classes arent taken in account when setting up matches since there are 9 classes its ridiculus to think you will allways face even comps switching toons enables you too make matches more even and carry the kitten teamates you get grouped with
believe what you want, mate
Fun fact…I actually got better players on my team then on my main account(guess I get the new players on that one). Don’t believe me? Had someone with 600AP in my last game on main account
.
Its even funnier to see people with 2kAP complaining in map chat thinking they are pro but in fact usually are the reason your team is losing in the first place
How you get balanced pvp only with removed class stacking but allowed class swapping? Why you think that class swap is so balanced? I never have seen things like that “class swap inside the ranked game” in any other successful MMORPG’s or esport games. Just join and play with what you have! What i win if a somewhat good thief swap to ele because he think it will be good. but he is terrible at it? What i win with him? Decreasing my chance to win. And a feeling like its a 3v5 or 4v5 game. At high ranked games it means a lot if people swap to class they cant play at high level. Or if you really want that class swap allow then but not in group with my high ranked and mastered main class if he don’t have same division and ratings with the swapped class. Thats called balance.
The funny thing is that you think you are a better player because you only play one class while the fact is that players that multiclass have a wider knowledge of the game sure they might be better at some classes then others but thinking you are better then a multi classer is very narrow minded and just plain wrong in most cases
Traiting damage would also further increase it for gs and longbow. Staff autoattack damage is just too high, traits don’t matter here. And I don’t know what you mean with healing power but it doesn’t really change the fact that #2 does the same healing and. dmg as the autoattack so using this (otherwise thematically cool) skill has literally no meaningful impact.
You can still channel 1 while you can press 2 of cooldown and why should a auto attack ( that hits for 800 max do even less its mostly used to kite like both long and shortbow it in fact does less dmg then all the other attacks with as only benefit a small amount of healing
This isn’t some moba game with a billion classes though. If it’s too hard to balance 9 professions, then creating such rules is pure lazyness. And that pretty much describes the parody of a balance patch we got last month. Completely unneeded buffs to necro, thief etc. (at least not in those areas)
No this is a mmorpg with 9 classes each being able to run multiple viable builds, as too last balance patch yes it was very lazy for them to remove amultets instead of changing(not neccearaly nerfing) traits/skills. As too your oppinion on the necro and thief buffs, the thief “buffs” as you call them didnt do too much yes they hit harder but they still have as much problems as before with surviving. The necro buffs however were somewhat kittened changes especially with the removal of tanky amulets.
Vine Surge is a terrible skill. It is just weak and unrewarding compared to the animation time you spend and how hard it actually is to hit it. I suggest setting the immob duration to 2 seconds
Astral Wisp is terrible aswell and barely makes any difference compared to just autoattacking. Should remove condis from allies it passes through.
Now staff autoattack is way to good. The weapons focus is support and utility. Makes absolutely no sense that the autoattack damage almost caps at what longbow and greatsword do, both weapons with a focus on direct dmg and no healing whatsoever.
Do the changes I mentioned to #2 and #4 and nerf the autoattack by atleast 20%.
Just to point out the auto attack only does damage when traited for damage and the healing scales with healing power its actually working as intended. Skill 4 however is indeed hard too hit but increasing the immob is too OP as there is a build that already puts out tons of immobs+cripple and gets a dmg modifier for hitting crippled foe’s
Honestly i dont get why people are complaining about class stacking/ swapping.
You can do it too
You can ask others too swap(not likely they will)
Disallowing class swapping wont fix kitten especially when solo queing and getting matched up vs a premade fact is people are only complaining about it because they dont see how multiclassing actually makes you better.
I do enjoy my new ele class, actually does damage with the new sage amulet and takes a bit of attention to survive but is quite fun.
Thief on the other hand doesn’t look good, there were plenty of them in pvp games but they just dance around a lot and die … i dont feel them like a threat.
Thats because they are still a +1 class yes their dmg got buffed but they are still as squishy as before patch (though i have seen a couple of condi/power hybrids that can stay alive for some time but their dmg aint that great since they dont have acces to a lot of condi’s and they have sacrifised precision/ feriocity for the condi dmg
i’ve met this player , that said they are testing build in ranked arena … and then they left after a while. then they somehow managed to get into the next match again, saying testing build again ….
Sounds more like a troll player even then the situation you discribed would give them dishonor in the current system (as it is enabled again) and should atleast not put him in the same matchup.
Really enabling ranked outside of seasons would over a lot of quality of life to the more competitive player base + it would allow arena net to test their new matchmaking system instead of not giving 2 kitten about having balanced matches in between seasons.
Yes it would still happen (can we get beyond that now) but atleast the quality of the matches would be better as all diferent skill levels are now in unranked and with there being no real incentive to play ranked over unranked it would allow the beter people to play in ranked while the people that arent that great can stay in unranked “honing their skills”
True but atleast players that want to “test”(aka running reallybadbuilds) would be more inclined to stay in unranked leaving more space for players who actually want to play in ranked arena instead of having the worst possible teammates ( mmr gain could stay implemented but mmr loss would have to be disabled to prevent mm tanking preseason (or just disable both)
There is this option on your character select screen that says delete character after that you type in your toons name and click delete now you can create a new toon. Use leveling scrolls and tomes to level up( ofc before deleting your toon salvage what gear you can)
Forfeits are reenabled. Losing a game in which a teammate received dishonor will result in a forfeit. Players partied with the dishonorable player receive a desertion on loss, but they will not get dishonor.
Could you or anyone explain this part to me? It sounds like, if we’re in a match with a player that gets dishonor “during the match” and we lose…that player will get “desertion” but they will not get dishonor. I know dishonor stops people from entering a match but what does “desertion” do to the player?
Sounds like a tag (like have one desertion (when it happens again get dishonor)) at least that how i hope it works i am just hopeing the dont mistake DC’s again for leaving even though it would be a weak spot for exploiters
So their system needs to tailor to your needs and use your location to determine whether you can still participate in leagues instead of them rolling out a patch once for all time zone’s they would have to release it for every time zone meaning it would be more of a strain on the server and have to determine whether players have or havnt updated yet plz get half a brain
You’re right let me go get a comp sci degree and learn about the client server model so I can better understand next time. It’s not “tailoring” the text read “The season ends on the 25th” and the 25th is not over yet. Simple. Also, I doubt what you say and what the developer’s reality of the situation are the same. Their servers may not have a problem with it I do not think you have the expertise to comment on the matter.
Yet you miss the point i made completly and belittle me failing to realise i am studying to become a java programmer(serverside and client side) so yes i know what i am talking about yes a nets server might be able to handle it it would however make wvw impossible as well as pvp
Finish your degree, get a couple of years of experience then come talk to me. This coming from an Information Systems graduate. Just because you’re enrolled does not mean you know anything.
Wow a IS grad that cant see the fact that you would need to instance each timezone seperatly for his wishes (btw finished IS in a month all be it not that indept aint hard though)

Really learn too play issue knowing what you are fighting gives a idea of what dmg they can output if you are struggling vs condi build ask them to fight you 1v1 and try too survive
Durability runes removed ( no more toughness aside from trait and no access too resistance)
And rocket charge "nerf might make it actually easier to use for healing only, fact is engi will be hit a lot harder without getting something else to counter/ make up for that (aside from the likely meta shift to glassy builds)
It is P2W. Doesn’t matter if it is in the form of a Op sword or an XPAC. Think carefully “Pay to Win”. Just because it usually manifests itself in item shop does not mean P2W is absent from other methods. The Elite Specs are better than the Core Specs. To Get Elite Specs you need to PAY. This is simple logic.
Go google pay too win then come back also if you are a free too play player or even a core game only makes you think you can compete on the same level as a player that did lay down the cash to buy hot. Ofc there is a difference between ftp and expansion its only logical other wise there would have been no incentive to buy it. If you dont want the specialization’s or raids dont buy it but dont go complaining you cant be as OP as the new stuff.
On the side of engi’s using hgh its too make up for the fact that we have to use elixers for condiclear having no other utility skills (aside from slick shoes) to us offensively the rest is only survivability skills to be able to be a near unkillable roamer spec (according to some) its actually nearly impossible to maintain 25 stacks of might unless you get supported by teammates or have a mesmer or mm have multiple targets out so you can get might from the auto chain using this build is far from mindless and is already being nerfed in the upcomming patch.
what make sense is make ppl get legit something.
If you make it legit, you’ll won’t have trouble to make it again, else maybe you are one of thoose
^^this
every single good player i know that hit legend can easily reach it again w/o breaking sweat, many of them don’t even care about leagues that much, only about pro league
You will have trouble as a solo queuer as the odds are against you in every match. Since every match there is the possibility of getting 4 scrubs on your team or getting a afk’er unless they remove forced 50 % win ratio it would be near impossible to get back up to legend. (Though the anounced winstreak pips might help)

the 3rd day of league some ppl reported the MMR exploit problem, they let ppl exploit, take 0 action, and fix it 1 week before end of league
they know the MM is not working, they even said they will mod it for saison 2, but did nothing for now
i’ll won’t even argue of stronghold farm, afker/troller who just deny on purpose other and other “exploit” …
Said that, they should have taken a “fair” decision, remove all badge and reset all “primordial legend” achiev since if not mesuring player skill for LOT of them (i guess good player don’t care and can get back to legendary easy). They didn’t do it in past with rank (rank means nothing), they will not do it now (div/badge means nothing too)
For me it’s a total lack of respect for player who just soloq without ‘abusing’ and well, gw is not the only game arroud so, you have choice too
Shure punisch they players that did get it legitly get put up vs premades as solo queuer got screwed by being grouped with exploiters and had the matchmaking stacked against them cus of exploiters makes sense…
I cleared Legend solo queuing without HoT with a high win rate (73-76%). Some core gw2 builds really counter the commonly used professions in people stack for leagues.
Aside from queing with pz members though in your case that was pretty likely to reduce que times wich anet is more to blaim for then you or players with the same situation its also on Anet for not correcting piploss vs premade guildgroups (lost 2 pips multiple times sometimes only with a <100 diference
I afk’d if we were at 100-150 point deficit and/or no one communicated when it was required. Just made sense, why waste time on a loss.
Thats exactly the thing most bad players say atleast you arent doin it while you are winning but really dude grow a spine you win some you lose some but you afking cus a loss doesnt only affect you but mostly other players playing experience and you deserve any kind of kitten you get for afk ing
So, without any extra context you label me bad and human waste at the same time? Would you like to know which matches I afk’d? There were 4 total, I remember all of them and I believe anyone would agree they were incredibly lost matches. Or we can go with your presumption and attack that I’m just a bad, dumb player. I’m game for 3 infractions in 3 days. Moderators been tailing me 24/7. Post in dawn of a new age got deleted, and one on the mesmer forums. Lets have an unruly debate >:D BRING IT SON.
Your words not mine and btw i have been followed around by mods as well shame you cant talk about misconduct on this forum cus they dont like transparancy
But premades don’t have to wait for long queue times so it’s a good thing now dude. Everybody knows that premades make up the majority of PvP players and are the most important group to cater to /s /s /s /s /s /s
Actually they dont most are solo que players or players grouping with a friend or with guild mate’s for missions
I only disagree with being punished for loss streaks as most of the solo queuers would get punished for that as you cant control getting kitten players on your team+ no solo queuer would be able to advance past ruby due to the 50%win cap

While not supported by true facts any one playing can see this is the truth however rangers that play into this are rare as the tanky decap ranger is more common currently but after celes nerf i doubt druid healing wil make up for the insane dmg of all the hybrid builds upcoming with the next meta
The last thing Anet needs to do is apologize to ego’s who demand that the game is designed around their own wishes and fears to be confronted with the fact that maybe competitive games aren’t about progress all the time.
I’ve been pvp’ing for a very long, I consider myself casually good and have not been able to get out of emerald.
Big deal. You win some, you lose some. Maybe you should try to concentrate your frustrations on things that actually matter in life… It’s a game for god’s sake. Why people can take this so high is beyond me.
Not running a ptr, nor asking players for balance tips.
Also, releasing a game without testing pvp and started the first season without checking both matchmaking and balance… i know it’s a game man, but still they should read and watch what they gave.
And what about s2?
I am kinda worried about, cause they are not asking for help.
Certainly I would agree with you here.
I’m mostly voicing against the OP and his hard, way too ridiculous, post demanding an apology… That sort of attitude is just plainly rude, egocentric and not necessary at all.
If I sold you a table and it showed up with three legs you’d have a right to be angry with me right? Especially if I spent months telling you how awesome your table is going to be right? They sold a product not as described and genuinely incomplete so yes people have a right to be angry. I think it’s more arrogant to show no remorse or responsibility for your actions.
Cept for the fact that the whole league system was part of a later patch; not the main content of HoT; Stronghold was. The comparison between a random defect table and a mmo game that is constantly updated and changed through the internet is wrong in so many places that it’s useless to make it in the first place.
Is it constantly updated? Because they promised constant balance updates which haven’t happened. They promised a new borderlands with the expansion which hasn’t come yet and likely won’t even be complete when pushed based on their history. Maybe you’re right. This is more like you had a table and I offered you a better one. So you paid me money got excited and I smashed your old table to pieces before giving you an incomplete broken version of what I promised.
you must not have vistited the bl’s they are new and kitten hardly any1 plays on it as it is too easy to counter siege and to hard to siege it
pip loss is a must however losing pips because some1 dc’d / left is gonna get fixed: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/plz-make-this-a-thing/first#post5939026
however i find that being punished for solo queing really really bad i have had a kitten ton of games where people were basically afk on home or just feeding the enemy at mid and being kittened about rotating, and thats in all divisions even legendary
UHM Mesmer got two emergency nerfs to shield, when no one else did. ANET went out of it’s way to lame mesmer .. then they killed alacrity the main selling point of chronomancer by 50%. In the process extending every mesmer cooldown by close to 50%.
That is a pure assassination, not a balance. Again, since anet sold HoT to me based on the mesmer elite, then destroyed the mesmer elite.. I feel I’m owed a refund.
Then kittening uninstall if you cant see the fact nerfs were needed to mesmers and you dont like it
They aren’t nerfing ele and Mesmer to match. They are nerfing both right out of the meta. It is very clear from today’s “On Point” stream that;
1. The pro players are being appeased. “Sunfish” openly expressed that he wanted mesmer gone and “rom” said the same thing with a little more circumspection.
2. Mesmer and quite probably Ele are no longer expected to be played competitively.
3. ANET sold Hot based on the new classes, then proceeded to trash mesmer. I want my HoT money back.
A net didnt sell hot on the specialization’s the sold it on end game content the reason they nerfed both ele and mesmers is because they are extremely OP
