Guild Wars 2

You should stop using gw2.exe till they fix leaderboard anyway.

You know what disgusts me? People with dishonorable debuff.
Cant play? Fine stay in hotjoins but dont kitten up my games.

a t s e.9614:

You are the only hotjoin hero here. You are unable to counter a team who is using a thief. Go back to hotjoin then try tpvp again when you’re ready. Nobody said the thief is underpowered, I kill scrubs all day . I’m saying that people who don’t know how to play shod stop the thief QQ.

Ok mesmer uses stealth and blink to decap close, we send 1 person to take it back or 2 to kill mesmer cause he used hes cooldowns for decap and cant escape, if he escapes we can leave close again cause we know he cant repeat this combo for another minute.
Thief stealths and decaps close what we can do? Just leave our close bunker on close thats it, one player just have to completely change hes gameplay cause there is thief.
How big tool are you that you dont understand this, have you never played thief? or you have never played any other class? Cause if someone has done these things then i think its common sense that if one class has no cooldowns in videogame where every other class has cooldowns then it becomes problem.

Ye just because feature patch cause some obvious balance issues doesnt mean they should be fixed with simple changes. We need 5 months at least to get used to imbalances before they can be resolved.

Ops was meant in necro forum. Can mod pass it to Josh to pass it to John to pass it to Hugh to print it then give copies to anyone else who has saying in PVP and then move it to necro forums to never be seen by dev eyes?

This is preposterous. Everyone knows its either 137 boiz or you get put on farm status.

DancingMad.8504:

I won’t ask for a precursor drop or for the mystic forge to give me one.
I can work for it, no problem.

The only thing i will ask is to buy it at a freaking logical price.
The Legend around 7hours ago when i last checked was 1079g on the TP.
1079, almost 1100g.

Is this what Anet wants?
Is this thing intended?

I have no problem in spending 600g. Or 700g. Or hell, even 800.
BUT NOT 1100.

Sorry this is insanity.

Spark: last week 800-850 this week 950-1050… and atm cheapest is 1500
If they want us to pay ton of gold then sell them at vendor, ok i can pay 800 gold but wtf why would someone who just got lucky drop deserve my gold that i worked months for.

Tower of Nightmare:
How it should be: You have chance to get tokens for shoulders and gloves in 3 levels from events and low drop chance from mobs. End dungeon drops tokens for weps.
Reality: Theres huge tower with almost no new rewards that noone is interested in doing after 3-4 days, and you just buy skins from gemshop.

But seriously im not PVEr so can anyone answer my question? How many new armor sets are there introduced since release that you can earn from doing PVE? On gem shop i see at least 10+ sets

Say what you want but necro has had only 1 viable build since release of game, i have played more different builds while leveling my lvl 40 thief than on my necro in past 8 months.
If you cant win/survive/evade 1v1 your spec isnt viable.
If you cant be fully effective at least once per minute your not viable.
If your spec is based around rng, situational kills or just one trick, its not viable.
If you cant reliably gain LF your spec aint viable.

^ This is just my opinion, i have seen loads of necros who are fine that they can Lich Form kill clueless opponents with #1 spam every 3 minutes and think they are perfectly fine.
It just starts to kitten me off that everyone says how necro have loads of viable specs when im stuck in same spec since release. (Only recently switched to 2 sec terror spec for wvwvw which is actually kitten spec too and not really viable, cause of its LF generation and situational dmg.)

Leeto.1570:

No lol im afking all day long, why i gotta run in circles when i get qued with PVErs?
When someone is 100% useless its fine when im 100% useless but sit still instead of pretending that im playing then its problem?
This patch introduced new level of bad players, they dont even know how to autoattack… i wont run around map and kill people just for nothing.

How sad must your life be?

Please ArenaNet – Just ban people like this. You would be doing them a favor – It might give them a chance to take a look in the mirror and realise how pathetic they are.

Whoa you are one hippocrite piece of kitten, i remember back when soloq wasnt PVEque i lost multiple matches cause of your AFK in first minute of game. Did you look in mirror and realised how pathetic you are and dont afk anymore?

This is structured PVP forum, you understand that you can be unable to kill anyone in 1v1 (even tho thief is probobly best 1v1 class) and still be overpowered in spvp?
Its so overpowered that we have this dumb kitten bunker meta, cause noone can play zerker without getting rekt by thiefs. (i mean overall ofcourse)
And its amusing how thiefs whine about bunker meta when they are reason behind it.

Of course its cybervampireninja

This is what happens when one class is unique snowflake…
I have thief army here hating without even understanding what im talking about.
Try playing some other class, maybe if you try out class which has one chance at executing their moves then you will understand why thief design is a problem in a game where no other class works such way.

I probobly shouldve changed siggy to “thief since first month” but ofcourse it wouldnt matter as i can make topic about how necromancer death shroud needs redesign and still there will be necros whining about how having RNG factor to DS is completely fine.

Bad players dont care about game, not even talking about competetive game, all they want is to kill other people ez mode.

I`m honestly kind of sick of explaining same simple things over and over to every newbie thief that checks this topic… can this pls get locked -,-

1. It feels less pointless, you see some progress, getting 3 accounts from amber to legend has been most fun ive had, and playing ranked in legend division is the least fun.
2. Everyone is bad, there is no mystical good players in legendary division, i come to this topic after watching stream of a thief who has legendary wings and clicks hes heal.
GW2 has some of the worst players ive seen in any video game and maybe if you are on very bottom it seems that higher division players are better but once you get basic understanding of 5v5 conquest, get keybinds and stop playing from first person then you start realizing that everyone is way way worse than it seemed at start.

gamefreak.5673:

I think you mean fix necro sir not nerf.

No i mean nerf, we have passive defense, passive attack and load of boring attacks… How do you suppose to get active defense + active offense while keeping the passive crap and not becoming OP?

Agree this is bullkitten, they say we gotta get rid of consumables yet we have to farm glory to get 4th crafting material…

Pros should play 3 classes? Every pro could have been master of 7 classes but if it wasnt mesmer/rev they couldnt do good in tournies.
Having new meta on big stage is good? Ye sure everyone suffers months of trash meta for sake of esports and then they try to fix it just so it looks that game is fine and you are not forced to play 3 classes on 5 man team in a game with 9 classes.
Oh they will have to adjust they true pros… who the f cares about THEM i care about those players who wont be there just because they could not switch from playing thief to bunker mesmer or from bunker ele to dps revenant….
You think that current results show most skilled players/teams? No they show who was best at adapting to 2xmes2xrev cheese so and now we even wont see who is best at playing this cheese comp instead we will see who can dig out new cheese builds first.
I know that these are pvp forums and average skill level here is that of a potato and you dont understand whats going on when watching tournament but for some people watching skilled players is more fun than looking at good builds.

hmm Could i get six-pack abs on my plague form, please?

This parody of PVP that you have in ranked aint working at all, 2 days ago i played more than 30 games out of them all there were 3 games with no parties 1 game where duoq was on my team every other game enemy team had party and most of time it was 3+ people party.
And no even if i for some unknown reason dont go afk after first minute where partyboiz shrek my team i still cant win with soloquers against teams.
Even if i wouldnt get penetrated by your matchmaking 90% of time and partyboiz would be on my side the match is still boring cause then enemy team has no chance to win.
Just for a moment stop drawing those outfits or whatever you do and make ranked playable again.

So my 3rd WPvP movie, made in similiar fashion as my first two so if you have seen those you already know what to expect. Hope you enjoy it, let me know if you like it, you can leave feedback/questions here or on youtube.
Software, music etc. in youtube description.
At the moment don`t have plans/time for 4th but who knows.

IMO main reason why GW2 sometimes seems boring is cause there is no challange, well beside the ones that players create themselves.
So im testing wuildstor this weekend and i get in city and pickup something from ground, and this “challange” starts where i gotta pickup trash around city in 2 minutes, so ok at first im like ye this is just copied from GW2, simple guild wars collect event, i start picking up trash with no hurry, after 30 seconds i get 100% BUT a voice says bronze completed and my 100% turns into 50% so i start getting nervous cause ofcourse i want gold, so i run faster and later start thinking whats fastest way to get from one trash to next, well in end i got to 97% and got only silver reward but i must say it was more fun picking up trash in WS than killing giant dragons in GW2.
We already have this system and everything but its just boring cause lets be honest, if you arent afk whole event you will get gold medal, i even normally kill jormag around dinner time cause i can afk and make dinner while killing him.
People should normally get bronze for participating in event and silver, gold should be for those who put in extra effort.
IMHO if getting medals would be harder and it would track on what medal you are then it would make game alot more fun, cause you would see that if you want that gold medal then you have stop slacking and improve your dmg or whatever you gotta do at specific event.
Currently most fun PVE content for me is EOTM champion train, just because you cant slack and have to do overall good dmg to tag the mob, and if champion is low hp then you gotta do bursty rotation.
Thoughts? Anyone else think that lack of challange takes the fun out of this game?

Division should not affect matchmaking cause it takes no skill at all to get to legend, you can party vs soloquers, play with ambers, tank mmr, just play alot of games till you get lucky everyone can do it one way or another.
I have tons of people on friendlist with who i have played matches together for past 3 years and who are on similiar skill level but i havent seen them in any of my games since league started because they dont want to farm alot of games and are 2-3 divisions below me, so instead i get other legend players who i have never seen before and obviously they are not very good.
Maybe im just having short term memory and i dont remember about past games but it really feels that with every division im seeing more bad players in my games.
I dont mind playing with emeralds or sapphires as long as they know what they doing instead of just farmed stronghold with party.

I know this will sound shocking in this no skill/mindless spam/carried by class game but its actually about player.
Some classes are better than other of course but when you are looking for people to play with good player on average class will benefit you more than average player on good class.
You want people to be at right time in right place doing right thing not just randomly die all over the map on some OP build.
And even “skill” requirement of classes are BS, its about your dodge/cooldown management/game knowledge/positioning/situational awareness and not about how many fancy tricks your class have, once you master one class you can be decent on any class and great once you get used to that new class.

Why this whine is still alive? First of all if you do arena seriously and not just for achis then its kinda freaking easy. I seriously dont remember time when ive played and have had worse than 50% win ratio in gaming session. Second its one kittening achievement point, you whine that you want this point but you cant even ACHIEVE it, then why you should get it?
You check PVE dailys before whining about this one. Doing daily fractal runner is near impossible for me, but if i cant ACHIEVE to gather 5 people and then just stare at my monitor while most boring kitten ever happens then i dont deserve that 1 ACHIEVEMENT point

And im super christian so whenever theres one of those million human females in skimpy outfits im forced to close my eyes and pray for my soul…. you even know how hard it is to dodge eviscerate then?
So probobly ban all beside norn male.

Posted video of mesmer speedhacking week ago… and again hes in my game on enemy team porting around map killing NPCs in niflhel and stuff… he does it so obviously that it would suprise me if NSA hasnt handed in hundred page report on hes activities already, yet anet does nothing. esports.

A cool guy called Infinitas Erratum took “interview” with me for hes guilds community spotlight section, check it out, very cool guild from what i can tell. ^^

Yup, now when new player picks up GW2 and will want to PVP for dragon finisher it will take him like half year of casual play to get max rank which is much more reasonable than 1.5 years of korean grindfest for rank 70
Max rank is something every PVPer wants to achieve, and beeing able to get to a new rank once a week will bring fresh meat for me to kill.

You play minionmancer without keybinds and afk on point…
entering “ranked” games without any knowledge on how to PVP is “toxic”

This meta is joke its all about who can proc and stack the most, perma vigor classes with energy sigils random dodging around, warrs playing bunkers while bursting you down with 20 mightstacks and intelligence sigils…
Just yesterday i wanted to burst down low health guy in tournie so i jump in deathshroud to fear him and spam some life blasts but my fear procced chill of death for 4k which procced air and fire sigils for another 3 k so basicly my instafear hit him for 7k… i hate this BS but lets be honest abusing random procs is the most effective way to pvp atm

Ok condi necros are over top, so maybe look into this issue now and not after 5 months?
I dont even understand how you let nightmare rune through, one and only thing that took some skill about fear necro was getting the initial fear off, now it doesnt matter cause nightmare rune does it for you.
Such a long CC condition would be OP but it actually hits for 900 with every tick.
And you incrased dhuumfire duration, how is it easier to avoid dhuumfire when fear lasts for 8+ sec
I cant even tell anymore which condi necro is good and whos not cause i just go afk once the fearchain starts.

Watch any big esports and you will see that bot casters and players and loose and are having fun. Just yesterday in ESL CS:GO casters were smack talking each other and even physicly poking each other, cause its a kittening video game, its all entertainment business. Only people who need to be professional are those who work behind camera making the game and the tournament.
Of course when those people are unprofessional then you start whining that players need to be more serious cause otherwise gw2 esports look like complete joke, but it already is so what does it even matter.

Anyway i give up it really seems you dont understand the problem about thiefs.
I can kill thief by spamming scepter one on condi necro, i can kill thief with 3 life blasts on power necro, i can just kill thief with eyes closed on my condi engi, jeez it has nothing to do with 1v1 its about the fact that you have to play completely different game when there is thief around.
You are low on hp while sitting in clocktower window… what do you do? You position so casters cant hit you by line of sighting and you look out if melee is not going for you, if there is thief he just teleports to you and bursts you.
In legacy of foefire i sit on highground doing ranged dps, jump down for melee dps and take highground again if i know that someone can decap our close, if they have thief then i loose any melee dps cause if i jump down there is no way i will get to close before thief decaps it.
If you down someone you want to keep him in downstate to give your team advantage, if enemy team has thief he can unnoticed teleport accross map and burst you down.
It has nothing with 1v1s or having problems with killing thief in fair fights, its about fact that thief just takes out tactical play out of this game.

And no actually thief makes you not use your brain, instead of rotating and spamming aoe on mid while watching if someone is going for your close you have to sit on close 24/7 otherwise thief will just decap it all time.

Only thing dying after 10th december is PVE world for me.
Earning 15g+ per day by doing same thing i did for year without rewards + pvp rank is progressing faster + no new wvw season. Only reason to leave mists now is to collect gold from trading post.
They should add more pvp achis cause now i never have time for PVE daily and my AP are incrasing very slowly.

bhagwad.4281:

Isn’t it sad that so many players like the ones above are going to be robbed of their hard work. Some people just don’t have a heart…

Yes it is a bit sad but then again its funny cause hotjoin farmers like you dont get anything and all your skyhammer farming is for nothing XD
You have made like 10 topics, why you didnt post screenies of your “hard” work?

Well GW2 pvp is node capping so its more about your intelligence as person and situational awareness to succeed here, skill as player or certain profession is only required at higher levels.
Ress others, dont die if you can survive, if you have to die then die on node, and just overall think what your doing, watch minimap to see where is your team etc. etc.
Plan what your doing instead of just rushing for max damage done and people will be fine with you.

Every mark cast has different animation already, so your asking for longer cast time on marks so you can better notice that animations are different or what?
Mark of blood – default
Chillblains – hand glows green
Putrid – hand glows black
Reapers – whole animation different and looks like poke with staff

The real question is will the feature patch be good enough?
I really cant imagine how their gonna ship this patch without naming it expansion and selling seperately. I mean it takes 4 months already and will be 1-2 more till it arrives.
I really doubt there can be anything in the patch to approve a half year of waiting.

That thing that many people seem to forget these days, and older people like to blame the millenials for the lack of it – professionalism

You didn’t hear Michael Jordan trashtalking basketball on ESPN now did you? If you are old enough to know about the legend…

It wasn’t trashtalking. Where did he insult ArenaNet? He just said they made a mistake and therefore he doesn’t care about the upcoming matches.
This is absolutely something you are seeing in the ‘normal’ sports. If the stadium has problems and they are not fixed until the play-day, everybody is talking about it.
If a team is losing their top leaderboard position because of a bad decision from a judge, they are taling about it.

Wolfey.3407:

Aren’t you a lovely kid.

It is always great to start with an insult. Really shows how much you respect a good discussion!

I can send emails every week, I can’t force them to do anything.

And did you sent a email including the ddos problem? Or did you only include the normal league / balance qq?
If you did, then please tell me if there are still more ‘professional’ ways to talk about the incident?

How do you think people would react if you were drunk when being paid to work? I .

I dont get it, they normally pay me more when im drunk.

Its season 2 in WvW ending soon yet there havent been even one season in PVP… tournament of legends is nice and all but it doesnt motivate me to play on daily basis

Just delete the thread XD why i even bother trying to convince hotjoiners that class that destroys strategy is bad for competetive play.
Go back to hotjoin and keep farming them chests, thats all that matters, you can kill thief in 1v1 so all is gut.
Maybe one day you will try out TPVP and realize what this game is really about.

Hey guys, long time havent visited these forums, just wanted to share a build i came up with few weeks ago. For my personal preferences this is not only best dagger build out there but best power necro build.
If someone have posted such build before then excusi ^^
Current main TPVP version -http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNAW4Yjc0UebPN+1wfbCchaqnA6DIAaBqbj04ZB-TZBFwACOCAIuAAy3foaZAAPEAA
The build is very simple and easy to play yet its probobly most powerful power build for high end pvp, if you have any questions about it feel free to ask.

Very well thought out builds and seems you have put effort into maximizing them for your intended role. But i gotta say this stuff just wont work in maybe ~top 500, in team que maybe even not top 700.
My build got called bad but yours is completely opposite, so your gonna recieve overall positive reviews but believe me over time the more you play pvp you will realize flaws in these builds.
As i have played 2859 pvp games and recieved 2805 top stats i do something better than others almost every game and that is the reality of pvp, you gotta adapt to every role your team gets in, your builds focus way too much on completing 1 role which actually dont even exist in PVP. In high end pvp you can roughly say that theres only 2 roles, bunker and damage.
And every damage spec got to be able – survive, decap, kill, stomp, ressurect, cc etc. etc.
I know atm all i say sounds stupid and wrong, but in few months or maybe year remember my words and it will make you chuckle to realise i was right

Marcus Aurelius.1374:

@leeto, marks can be dodged, all of them
actually u can test it easily to place marks correctly with the trait is still significantly slower than dagger or axe. not to mention numbers don’t lie even if u have reduced cd (2 on death)
and 4 on soul reaping ur lf generating slower than dagger. i’m not saying use dagger or axe, i’m stating that the problem comes from that
minions requires 0 skill therefore i don’t care about those.
1 thing we agree is that a broken class is still a broken class.
and necro is a broken class. it’s my main, my favorite and all
but ds is suppose to be our main tool yet we have very limited options on charging it.if any skill would do that
or a trait similar to cantrip on ele just for necro ds would come up it would be ok, at least better than most traits they gave us…

Marks give life force when they get triggered doesnt matter if they are triggered by dodge or not, you still get life force.
And i play both power and condi necro in PVP and i guarantee you if you gonna go closer than 900 range into teamfight without having life force then either you are gonna die or will have to use flesh wurm.
TBH majority wont even understand what im on about here but i just hope anet will see this and think about it cause i guarantee if LF mechanic isnt changed or necro doesnt get something super cheesy then it will never have place in high end pvp.

No lol im afking all day long, why i gotta run in circles when i get qued with PVErs?
When someone is 100% useless its fine when im 100% useless but sit still instead of pretending that im playing then its problem?
This patch introduced new level of bad players, they dont even know how to autoattack… i wont run around map and kill people just for nothing.

How sad must your life be?

Please ArenaNet – Just ban people like this. You would be doing them a favor – It might give them a chance to take a look in the mirror and realise how pathetic they are.

Whoa you are one hippocrite piece of kitten, i remember back when soloq wasnt PVEque i lost multiple matches cause of your AFK in first minute of game. Did you look in mirror and realised how pathetic you are and dont afk anymore?

I barely ever AFK and when I do, it is when we are like 200-250 points behind and I know there is no way for a comeback. Please don’t compare what you do to what I do.

Ye right i have never akitten when there is even slight chance of winning but ive seen you AFK multiple times at start of match, even when the only fail is your own… you very well know yourself and you come and say that im doing something wrong? XD Whut a hippocrite

What type of dmg you exactly want to buff? The 3k autoattack? The 4k dodge? The 5k one chain of elite? or the 5.5 k sword 3? Or maybe the 11k backstab that comes from stealth?
What about survibility? Every single match ive played that has decent thief he has less deaths than any other player.
Its stupid to even consider that thief would need buff and not that some other classes need a nerf. Thief is class for expert players who are good at the game, if you want to buff it for bad players then first ask to nerf it at high end.

if anet listens to forum community. The thing is that all competent players are actually in game and enjoying it, but only bad players come to forums and whine instead of learning to play.
Anet gotta be politcorrect so they cant say this, but i can: “If something seems totally OP to you then your bad, and you should feel bad”
Im pvping for years and i play with mentality that everything is my fault. Dont blame classes, dont blame mechanics, blame yourself and improve instead of sitting on your phat * and trying to find excuse why you lost.
And btw even tho anet says that they read all your opinions etc. etc. actually they dont because if they would listen to players who have no idea what their doing then this game would get more unbalanced and result in even more whining.

//Leeto – Asura Necromancer

90% of players are just selfish, they dont care about the game they just care about themselves.
Engi can rek most of classes but gets destroyed by necro, you think they want to be more balanced against most classes and have better chances against necro? No they just want necro to be nerfed.
Theres perfect example of this atm in spvp section where someone pointed out the obvious thing that strength runes are OP, warrs just excuse that its only way how to deal with bunkers/condi classes, they dont care about all those people who play zerker builds and get bursted down by classes who play borderline bunkers like soldier warr or celestial ele.

There was big balance patch last december then nothing happened for 4 months until april, now its 8 months since that patch.
On 2nd day after april patch i logged in and thought that engi passive burn, air + fire stack, celestial, SD thiefs, passive fear necros are complete **** and should be nerfed now after 8 months nothing has been done about it.
Stop caring about balance changes just play the game if you like it, and be ready to adjust to the meta if you want to be on top, anet just shifts meta 2x per year and thats it.
For a minor change to happen outside of those 2 per year balance patches whole community need to spam forums for at least few months which is not that often tbh (rune of strength for example).

TheBlackLeech.9360:

Each class needs to have the same amount of sustain/damage potential as the other classes.

Thats absolutely not how balance works in mmorpg with 5 man teams and 9 classes.
But then again i still remember you from beeing the guy who whined about beeing stuck in ruby season 1 and then posting your build which was the trashiest build i have seen in 3 years of playing and then trying to say its good cause you can 1v1 on it.
