I don’t like ABL because people sit inside their towers trebbing other structures (And when we break in they just wp out)… On DBL they are forced to be outside structures if they want to actually damage somenthing else.
Honestly I like the great open space DBL have because people will have to walk A LOT if they intent to run to hide inside a tower.
Except condi builds are not by design tankier. The only reason condi builds are considered tanky in WvW is because TB/Dire. Look at sPvP, where those stats don’t exist. Condi got pushed out of sPvP meta because condi is squishier than power on every single class with the exception of Chrono.
But these stats don’t exist in there for the same reason Commander’s/Minstrel don’t exist: Since sPvP consist in sitting on point, having bunker builds stale the game. I played Clerics Turret Engi in sPvP back in the day turrets were immune to crits and condi. NOBODY could make me move out of a point unless I fell asleep out of boredom. Not even the infamous decap engis.
And honestly, if Condition builds had more choices to push their damage, I doubt they would all be Dire/Trailblazer in the same way power builds are Berserker and not Soldiers (Because Precision+Ferocity increase their damage). But is there other ways to buff condition damage in this game? No. Expertise came 3 years after the launch and is only avaible in 3 stat sets: Viper who have a wasted main stat for pure condition builds (Power), Vigilant who don’t even have condition damage (Pow/Tou/Exp/Conc lul), and Trailblazer who is the only useable of them and is bloody expensive.
I really wish Vigilant had Condition Damage instead of Power… It would allow to craft a build that made use of self applied boons to push damage further. And It wouldn’t be as bunkerish as Dire or Trailbrazzers since it wouldn’t have vitality (If I were to use another piece of gear it problably would be Rabid for precisions which also don’t have vitality).
Things are still quite competitive on NA T1, from what I can see. JQ made several strong attempts to take our keeps during night time (often with near-simultaneous assaults), but we managed to fight them off.
But yeah, we’re not seeing the multi-hundred queues we saw at the start anymore. I’m guessing that population is down now that most people have completed the meta, or they’ve gone back to EotM.
NA T1 is a joke right now. TC is getting the win this week and JQ is getting the win next week. The win trading has gone on for nearly the entire season
Anyway, I’m not feeling burnt out as I’m not playing more than I normally would. Yeah, I put in some overtime the first couple of weeks, but having put in hours of overtime in S1 and knowing how burnt out you can get, I deliberately dialled my play time back
They were both tied and Blackgate isn’t present… I guess they are fighting each other normally, and the loser of this week will get the win in the next 2v1 against BG next week. So they can untie again last week, without BG presence…
any reason we shouldn’t have more ppl come play if all sever has queue?
Yes. there are servers that don’t have queues and could use more people. If you choose to stay in a stacked server, you are choosing to deal with the queues.
Preferable while scrapping the “Home BL” style. Maps of a single color are boring because it mean there is no action going on. Maps that are played in thirds, like EBG, are much more likely to attract people than the boring Borderland playstyle.
They dropped the ball the moment the artificial rating wasn’t accounted for the glicko calculations. If the T4 servers rating had the +200 they used before the calculations, you problably would have gained rating with the result of the match or at worst lost far less rating. The same would have happened to Crystal desert on T3, they wouldn’t have won a lot of free rating merely for being in there if they still had their +200 before the result of T3 match. I honestly thought they were going to do the same manual change they did to T8 many years ago when they gave +100 to ET/FC prior the match results to make glicko adjust itself, but I was wrong.
Unfortunely, I highly doubt they will change anything now. It took them 5 weeks to adress the quadserver issue of being unable to move due their stupid decision of using CD and SF original glicko ratings with the 3rd server of the match (Dh) being one that have been losing every match for 3 months now (thus bleeding a lot of rating). By the time they decide (if they decide) to do somenthing for T4 again, the pairings will be changing. Your best bet is to take a break from GW2 until August 26th when the pairing changes.
This does not affect me so I give no kittens about it… Besides, it’s not like it gonna change anything.
But you people can keep aguing about it like if somenthing gonna happen.
I never heard of that. And if there was really one, it wouldn’t make sense for Anet to segregate EU servers by language (There are german, spanish and french servers) like they did.
It’s not related to the season. It’s related to the fact that their populations are Full and Very High.
Yeah, but I belive they did changed that for the seasons… All servers usually are listed as Very High (with the exception of the full ones), and cost 1800 gems oposed to the 2400 price that its up atm.
My only issue with meteor shower is how it can hit anything on top of walls… Other than that, I think it’s perfectly fine. If an ele is hitting you for 8k meteor shower he problably have 12k HP and less than 2k armor which means that if they mess up they get insta gibbed by anything.
The “grind” PvE players have to do for the Gift of Battle is nowhere close to the grind WvW players have to do on PvE when they want… Well… Anything really.
There is a red post in a recent thread that says that the league will be the same 6/9/9 with swiss style. So it is the same as Season 2, except that it will be shorter, and the meta achievment is now split in weekly activities instead.
yeah, i understand, but how many times at reset do you care about your rewards from the previous week?
I know, all week long, the overall idea is to “win”…
but if winning on its own starts to become pretty boring, wouldn’t most people wanna shake things up? If not, then everyone would just run dire/perp pu mesmers, lol.
You need to think like the majority man, and the majority of the players are casuals who pop in WvW with the intention of winning and not to have fun with fights or whatever. Their fun is based in their capability of winning. If they can’t win, they will just bail and do somenthing else or even transfer to somewhere where they can “win”.
I’ve been at the bottom of the barrel many times and it ain’t pretty. People don’t want to be there, and sure as hell they won’t be if they have a choice of not being there.
The name of the game is Guild Wars 2. Not Blob wars 2. This update allows small guilds to run together effectively. If things become too K-train-ish I’m sure the devs can alter upgrades, add new things like those siege disables, and altogether just adapt the change for the best.
Another T8 thread? At this point I think they’re just trolling us.
But look! The guy who made the thread is from HoD! We’ve burned our complaints into the minds of the other tier members so severely that they even make threads for us now!
It’s the Sorrow’s Terrace of Denravi’s Crossing… STD is kicking in…
What you guys are doing by complaining about these things is slowly homogenizing the game. If your a slow, bulky, whatever class/build that gets ganked by thieves, probably don’t go out alone. We can either have an asymmetrical unbalanced game about fun and flavor and different classes, or we can have WoW.
I’m not complaining… I’m just pointing that it’s annoying when a thief keep comming back 5-6 times and failing at what he should have done at best on the second try.
Unlike some stupid people here, when a thief moves out to gain space, I don’t chase. Instead I make that gap even bigger by using my mobility to the oposite direction. That way the thief will have to burn all his initiative to reach me, or when he finally get back my cds will problably be all ready again.
Could always stick a few Siegerazers in there. The toughest (actually killable) NPC in WvW is not the SMC lord. It’s razer. Although the EBG gub might be up in the running for that too, maybe throw a few grubs around instead?
A blue server could aggro the grub on bravost siegerazer and we can solve “who’s da boss”.
The question is, email with rewards is always the best choice, lots of ppl participate but didn’t notice they should go claim that reward.
But they did received plenty of warnings… From the annoucement of the season to a mail in-game. People can’t blame Anet for not paying attention.
The only players i do have some sympathy are the ones that for some reason couldn’t participate for an entire week and have no chance of receiving the title reward.
I don’t think I ever seen someone shoot mortars except when you are at south of their bay and they are too scared to fight and the two cannons are already manned. I didn’t even knew burn on mortar had changed because of that.
Allowing us to sell them to vendor would solve this problem… I already sell lots of other gray junk such as spikes or porous bones that I get as loot anyway.
Get back to trolling school son.
