Guild Wars 2

What happened to the core notion that a thief was supposed to have some actual mobility?

dont complain about mobility until youve played a necromancer.

Brando.1374:

yes any necro can deal 1.5k dmg to an ele, but every 9 or so seconds they can go back into water and heal back up and by that time we might as well give up since it will be a loosing battle.

Hi, welcome to how elementalists have felt when fighting necros for months and months now. Maybe if those of you crusading against DS had put some effort into getting condis nerfed down to more reasonable levels, anet wouldn’t have resorted to a hard counter.

The good news is I got into the Hearthstone beta, so I can at least have fun while my GW2 is open in the background.

I know this is somewhat worn out but rock meet paper.

Hard counters are terrible design.

CrimsonHandHiro.9574:

I believe they want these types of posts on the General Discussion forums, right?

What’s Anet going to do about it, shut down the match-up threads?
That would be crazy.

Good to see the system punishing people. Sorry it hit an innocent but i’m sure this is affecting hundreds of people with ‘bad connection’

Erased Dhuumfire from history. This whole spell was an illusion created by Queen Jennah for fun to celebrate Halloween. Necromancers never could burn their foes. And Dhuum would never lend his power to humans.

So it’s been a while since the ruins has been introduced. What do you all think about it now?

Personally, I avoid it completely (as a roamer/in a small group) — way too many nooks and crannies for people to escape when they’re losing.

Furthermore, I rarely see small-man videos taking place in the ruins — if it was a place that was supposed to encourage small-man fights, it seems to have failed.

(I’m in T5, by the way)

8 80’s with multiple sets of gear, no thnx I’ve spent far to much time and money gearing my characters. I have zero interest in PvE so all that gear would just be a waste this would be a deal breaker for me. Not to mention the amount of time spent on crafting to get geared.

Play SPvP if you want this, and for the food being banned … its available to everyone.

GvG is only for a certain amount of players, not everyone cares about GvG

You’re right, Just like PvP.

Delvoire.8930:

And the Elitist mentality continues to grow… awwwwwwwwwll

God forbid you play an MMO to play with the community and not a small group of only guild members… God forbid you’d want help from the WvW community instead of alienating them so you can be UBER POWERFUL and UBER ELITE while you DESTROY ALL GUILDS YOU OPPOSE!!!……………

Get out of here with this nonsense and all of you who are in favor of it.

God forbid people dont want to zerg up and faceroll their keyboards whilst gazing at a meaningless scoreboard….You see that argument goes both ways sir….

This is a sandbox game and people are free to play the way that pleases them. While I agree they dont have to be kittens about it, trying to belittle their playstyle in favor of yours is only making you seem the less for it.

A full condi bomb build shouldn’t be able to also have 3k+ armor and 25k+ health and still be so effective

Well warrior is warrior. They are op even if they won’t use condi spec. And need to remember that ascendedweapons give boost only power spec.

think hes talking about necro.

and ascended armor doesnt mitigate condi, so by the 10th that wont be as big a deal

Condi necro who have over 3k armor? My necro have full rabid and only 2800 armor and i don’t even use fotm spec (which would give even less armor). I can make power necro spec which is effective and i still have same amount hp and armor.

Shout out to all the achievement hunters and pve’ers clogging up the queues. Bonus points if you spent gems to transfer to a stacked server.

I hope you’re satisfied with the rewards. At least now you’ve gotten a taste of WvW and it’s awesome rewards.

See you in Season 2, not.

+1, I very much enjoy your vids. Makes me wish we were on Ehmory. Carrying last place for 7 weeks in a row was not the best thing for my server.

Most of our roamers have given up on the zergging and general promotion of that playstyle, to the point it is hard to find anyone that wants to roam (including myself). At least SPVP has welcomed me with open arms.

We had some good times during the season, it is just a shame the development team seems intent to cater to to the blob rather than the smaller group.

No. The game is dominated by builds, not skill. No point in playing to win if you don’t use the cheesiest specs possible.

Solstice.1097:

If they just gave ascended armor the ability to change stats OOC and maybe add some cool visual effects or even the ability to change the look of it that would be enough to make it worth grinding out as a PvE player without having to add stat bonuses.

Why do PvE players need stat bonuses? It’s not like ANY PvE content is so hard that you’ll need it.

Couldn’t have said it any better

Anet pzl make match 1 vs none! Fighting promotes negativity!

/thread

Being a YB, I vote for EBay. That’s for all the /waves and /salutes.

Welcome to the best end-game GW2 has to offer!

I participated in my first GvG in OS last night. It was so much better than at the Wind Mill. Didn’t have to worry about camera angles with trees and the hill blocking/changing my perspective. The platforms making it easy to wipe stacks was very nice, as well as a good vantage point to watch other matches. Much fun was had.

Thanks Anet! Well done.

Not suprised at all, how can a pvp channel stay alive when the pvp community is almost all gone ? or what is left are casuals….

one sentence for league – go die in a fire

Brando.1374:

Just use standard unwritten fight club rules and we should be good.

We don’t talk about fight club.

kitten it! Now you made me do it too! No more talking about this group of rough-housing friends. <wink>

I’m sure the trolling will taper off as time goes by. Same thing happened on the BL ruins. It’s a fad. If they had made ANY large change to Obs Sanc, this would happen to everyone who was coming in there to check it out.

That said, I would just love to extend a big ol’ thanks to ANet for listening to their players. It was kinda ugly there for a while, and I lost all hope of any support being given to the GvG community, but I’ve never been more happy to be proven wrong.

The Arena is great. We, [EP], spent several hours in there last night doing GvG scrims with OnS, and it was exactly what we’d hoped for. The size is great, the landmarks (flame colors and statue types) really help with orientation and instruction, and there’s a lot of room for spectators to stay out of the way of the fights and watch.

Once our fights started, the trolling almost completely dropped off, and we ended up with a lot of people sitting in the stands and on the wooden piers watching. Even the guilds who had been in there trolling people for hours beforehand (even some guilds who openly oppose GvG) ended up just standing back and watching. Goes to show ya that even the opponents of organized GvG are drawn in once they experience it firsthand.

I’m thrilled. Thanks so much for doing this for us.

The only suggestions I could offer would be:
- Change the color of the floor so there’s more contrast with bodies/names tags. It’s sometimes hard to see who’s alive and who’s dead (on the enemy team). Something closer to the windmill hill’s texture would be great. Either way it’s not “bad.”
- Add merch/repair, or at the very least a repair anvil.
