It’s not any better on mobile.

It’s vastly better on a mobile than these forums.

Not really. There’s so much more white space and long quotes just force you to scrolls even more. Actually, I have to scroll even more regardless as to whether there are quoted posts or not.

I don’t know what you’re seeing but the formatting on the new forums is built for mobile browsers unlike the current one.

Silver tier ranked matches - 26 lost matches

in PvP

Have you ever thought that you’re the source of your loses? You taking scepter in a power Mesmer build says a lot.

It really just sounds like you’re playing classes you like but aren’t very good at and the results are as such.

You don’t need to play meta builds to win/carry matches, I run staff GS mesmer and win most my matches in plat 2. However the match quality is so lo that some teams have such bad people they are seemingly predetermined to win. I’ve barely played this season because of the boring matches.

Sure you don’t but having an optimal setup sure does help.

Axe certainly didn’t feel right. I think it was skill 2 with its huge wind up and ridiculously short range.

ventari OP what about radiant hammer guard?

in PvP

Posted by: phokus.8934

phokus.8934

kitten and Arken are very good players they could beat 99% of the scrubs left playing with just about any guardian build that isn’t complete rubbish. I wouldn’t recommend Hammer or GS builds for your average player. They really weren’t good in the past im not sure what changed to make them particularly good now.

What makes them decent now in PvP was the change in the Radiance line. You can now take Retribution and Righteous Instincts in Radiance and then use Valykrie amulet.

They’re kind of yolo builds but if you have a good supporting team, you can 100-0 unsuspecting players rather quickly.

Mirage: 5/10. It’s been mentioned so many times but Mirage Mirror and Ambush skills need some serious love.

Firebrand: 3/10: A frontline support with cast times to enter tomes, small frontal cone with utilities, no recharge system on pages, lackluster abilities and… too much to continue on.

Is retaliation too strong?

in PvP

Posted by: phokus.8934

phokus.8934

You’re full of kitten that you went from 13k-0 in 3 seconds just from retaliation damage.

Retal is a counter to fast attacking players so if you’re getting off 6 unloads then expect some counter play.

Wheel Commands for sPvP?

in PvP

phokus.8934

I’ll use Overwatch as an example as it’s the only other game I play that has this. But they have active nodes where you can wheel over it to defend that point or push the payload, etc. Having something like that would be great because not everyone reads chat.

What I really want is the Junkrat emote that goes, “BRRRRRNNNNGGGGG” so I can spam it until my fingers fall off.

Stop rewarding failure!

in PvP

Posted by: phokus.8934

phokus.8934

You get 3 pips for losing (4 for play, 5 for legendary) and 1 additional pip for top stats.

If you’re put on a team that has lackluster players but you do all the right things from rotating, reviving, supporting, and dealing damage, and get 5 top stats, that’ll mean you’ll get 8 pips for a loss.

To say that the effort you put in carrying a team goes unrewarded in a game is ridiculous. The pip reward system is a linear track that is meant to incentivize winning because you get gold and ascended shards quicker.

What should matter most is your rank as you gain for winning and right now it doesn’t feel rewarding when you do win and gain rank. But the pip system is nothing more than an experience bar that fills up for winning or losing which is perfectly fine.

DH is unfun to play against....

DH is really getting on my nerve sometimes…any hard counter?

Dodge the big F1 windup pull.
Don’t run at them if they’re standing still (traps).
They have two stationary attacks with longbow – easy to dodge.
After they Renewed Focus, focus them because they’ll drop pretty quick.

You want to know where 99% of the problems come from? Look in the mirror.

GW2 matchmaking isn’t perfect but to make some outrageous claims like you’re being singled out is pure lunacy.

Why do people waste their time putting these together?

Look out guys, we’ve got a kitten over here. In response, why do people waste their time posting these responses on threads they don’t agree with?

Back on topic: It appears I may have placed this in the wrong thread. Should this be moved to Community Creations instead? (So we don’t offend any more people who would want to voice their one sentence copy/paste opinion).

A simple question when you can do this for fun by yourself. But hey, you do you to make yourself feel better.

I thought it was pretty comical when he (Chris) said, “There seems to have been some impression that these players and all their accounts would forever be prevented from participating in PvP in any fashion forever. That was never stated…”

And Ben originally stated,
“ima kong fu ninja.3052: permanent dishonor meaning just this season? Or For all seasons to come?
Ben: All seasons.”

Why bother with ranked?

in PvP

phokus.8934

I level reward tracks faster in pvp than I do in WvW.

With how they match players, I just go in play, and that’s about it. You’re either going to win or lose by a wide margin so it doesn’t really matter much to me.

Really I’d like to see more transparency with pvp. Let me see my team and my opponents team average MMR.

How to Fix the Firebrand

in Guardian

Posted by: phokus.8934

phokus.8934

We’ve spent a quite of bit of time on Firebrand during the demo weekend and Tomes missed the mark on having 3/4 cast times along with 3/4+ cast times on abilities.

And they’re locked behind long cooldowns and non-regenerating pages. So we are then essentially locked out of the basis of Firebrand until the cooldowns are refreshed (including RF).

Firebrand has the potential to be a great elite spec but in its current state, it needs a few adjustments.

Countless Mirage Podcast Feat Zeromis

phokus.8934

Whether or not you agree with the implementation, I do think it was intended this way and it is how I read it. The Mirage Cloak trait causes your dodge key to lose its normal function, it now grants the Mirage Cloak status effect. Mirage Mirrors also grant the Mirage Cloak status effect. Elusive Mind insinuates activation of the trait based on the dodge key, not based on gaining the Mirage Cloak status nor evading attacks.

It’s almost as if DH has been around for two years and gone through tweaks and updates and Firebrand is brand new…

Firebrand is in a bad spot but wait to see what changes they make (in two years ).
