Guild Wars 2

tevoro.1587:

I play fresh air on my ele, I didn’t see anything cast nor any attunement switch. Miliseconds though? No one is that fast. Besides all the skills in, for sake of argument fire with scepter require at least a second to cast.

Did you check combat log to see what killed you?

Lazaar.9123:

Mallyx heal healed him for 6,167, Jalis heal healed him for 5,060. That’s a total of 11,227 healed, which would be more healed if there was more conditions on him, plus retaliation, resistance if traited, as well as condition removal.

Lets do some calculations with those numbers.

Both healing skills have a cooldown of 30 seconds and if we dont take casttimes in consideration this is at best an hps of 11227/30=374.33 (still unrealistic since it would mean you spam your healing skills on cooldown). It also looks like he was wearing celetrial amulet so he has some healing power.

Now compare that to Healing signet (see http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Healing_Signet). Without any healing power it is 362 hps and with celestrial amulet only it should roughly be 362+0.05*438=384 hps.

So with does numbers in mind does it still look so strong?

First bullfrogs, now toads?

What a ribbeting turn of events.

Oh goodness, I must comment on a clever pun. I’m sorry, but it’s required by my DNA!

then you would of loved the thread that got locked in general about GW2 being Pay to Wing puns everywhere

Ah good to know, maybe I was misreading somethin. Thanks

Kronos.2560:

Even if you are chosen it’s not all that great if you don’t live near the location they send. Almost makes it even worse ha ha.

…what?

You are aware that the betas are played from home, right?

can we please have those added to all the non celestial amulets to bring them on par. celestial amulet gives 3066 attribute points while most other amulets only give 2232 attributes. I think you should the missing attributes to other amulets for example assassin amulet would give 650 power, 932 precision, 650 ferocity, 208 healing power, 209 toughness, 209 vitality, 208 condition dmg

I`m playing solo and it is growing pain ……
even if you spend decent time in SPVP
even if you are well(meta) geared
even if you are well(meta) skilled
even if you don`t mind toxic language

We are focusing the so-called balance in the game.
To me the problem was always the narrow player base.
As far as a can remember GW1 had the random arena where people were matched against 4 other players. There was no “matchmaking problem” back then. Well there was a problem:
1) you have a monk, your team wins – here we don`t have a dedicated monk, here we don`t play in one single group, so such a problem should not exist
2) premades – change your district to Japan or Korea, hit the JOIN buton and you are teamed with your friends that were in the same district.

Leave solo Q and try to drag more players into PVP.
You don`t need to work on a matchmaking engine.

There is already a feature in the game that lets you turn off forced balancing and rewards you for winning the match on the team you started with.

It’s called entering queue.

Dahkeus.8243:

Whu???? I solo q all the time and have a great time

The exception that proves the rule

To me, SoloQ-ing has wielded the same kind of aggrovating matches as many others here voice… Now, I would not say that yours are invalid, but I do think that the majority of the matches (by my own experiences and from talking to others) are just not well balanced…

Sometimes I do have good matches, but the ones that feel whack are just really whack – either completely in my favour or in the enemies… Some other things are like matches that seem close in numbers, but are played with a level that are simply depressing (double capping, 6 Rangers etc.)

Granted, it is not unknown to us that the PvP devs are working on it, but trying to motivate yourself to play gets harder and harder…

You can say about Conquest whatever you want.

It´s boring. It´s always the same. It favors tanky metas etc

Many PvP Players think Celestial Amulets are the ultimate Cheese.

Well you haven´t roamed in WvW that much it seems. At the moment there are groups of 5 Condition thieves running around roflstomping everything. With 30 points in Shadowarts they are nearly invincible.

The Conquest mode prevents those stealthbuilds from being that op, from being that much used, but with stronghold there is a gamemode where u dont need to cap points.

So those builds that only annoyed roamers in wvw will annoy the whole pvp community soon. It´s no fun to play. It´s no fun to play against.

WvW players asked a long time ago to nerf those traits but it didn´t happen cause it had no impact to other parts of the game which will change now.

Traits im speaking of are:

Shadows Rejuvenation : This traits resets the thieves Healthbar in a matter of a few seconds while in stealth.
It is for me the counterpart to the notorious PU trait from the Mesmer before the nerf.
I dont understand how you can nerf PU but dont nerf Shadows Rejuvenation.

Last Refuge : This trait prevents thieves at 25% health from dieing. I know there are many thieves that actually hate this trait cause it stealthes without control but in my experience 80% of the thieves in WvW survive only cause of this trait. They engage, nearly die, get automatically stealthed by this trait and escape. It doesnt matter how many mistakes thieves do, with this trait equiped they will always escape or be able to reset and join the fight again.
Since it is an AoE stealth all the thieves around get stealthed too.

In Stronghold we will be able to stealth “important” npcs too, so this effect gets even stronger and will probably be omnipresent. I dont even want to imagine how a stronghold game would look like with the current state of traits to be honest.

What do you think?

Mayama.1854:

When GW2 launched i had zero lag issues in PvP. Nowadays I lag out every third game. Nothing has changed at my side.

Its the wings.

BlackTruth.6813:

If we get rid of hotjoin and get people to do ques, we’ll have actual match making.

why should we get rid of hot joins? they are for fun, sometimes you know you have 5 mins and you want to just jump in… if they would go unranked arena, they would waste 2+ mins in queue and left the match after another 3 mins leaving their team in 4, this is really what would you like to see? I don’t…

who seriously logs in for 5 minutes to play pvp? time to get realistic.

Hey guys!
Thanks so much for all the awesome questions and bringing me up to speed from our previous thread! Hope you like this video interview! I’ll be putting together some gameplay videos soon!

the problem is just they deal way too much damage for what is basicly a full bunker.

nearly 30k hp, 3k armor and enough damage to kill a zerker in under 30 seconds.

Was fun seeing Chaith solidly outplay this trash turret engy for 1,5 minutes on stream and still dying to the #Esports rocket.

Yes, he knew that running away was the better option but he was going to show how broken turret engy actually is and how much skill you need to play it.

A tournament has to specifically ban the use of more than 1 turret engi in 1 team. Hurry up and nerf this mindless build.

Agree with OP

7 Billion people in the world, no you’re not the only one.

Hello fellow PvP’ers!

Recently I haven’t been playing GW2 at all because of my laptop dying on me * cough * dropped it * cough *, but I managed to get everything back together and join the PvP world again. I think most people know me for my videos (YouTube), but more importantly for my powermancer (skillzzz). I’ve been playing GW2 now, for one and a half years and throughout this period I’ve always mained necro, and specifically power.

Been playing it for ~500 hotjoint matched (before I learned that ranked PvP existed >.>), and after that ~700 ranked/unranked. Now in these 1200 matches I’ve learnt a lot and I like to believe that I’m a pretty decent necro :P Playing one of the hardest classes to play in PvP can a real pain sometimes, but at around 1k matches I really noticed how everything went a lot…. ‘smoother’.

(Now, I usually post these video/montage thread off mine in the specified proffesion sub-forum) but lately, forum posts like these…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Necro-in-pvp-hard-countered/first#post4825139

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Whats-the-Worst-Class-Spec

…kinda make me sad. Not that these players are bad, but PvP is currently a somewhat hard place to be as a necro, and that can frustrate players (like the above). I just like me necro too much to have ever given up, and that’s the reason why I think I’ve been succeeding a lot more currently. I don’t expect it to get much better from now on though. The celengineer, celementalists and shoutbows are still a pain in the a** to fight against and especially for powermancers.

Now, powernecro’s have never been really utilized in high tier PvP, with the exception of shiziso (idk how to type his name) and of course team Radioactive. Most people wouldn’t choose a necro for their PvP team, which is fully understandable, but at the same time I see too many people jump to conclusions and say things like: ‘Power necro in tpvp? lulz go to hotjoint’ usually because they read it somewhere.

This isn’t a ‘plz buff powa nec plz, k thx’ thread, but more a ‘OMG look at what a Necro can achieve when played somewhat right!’ (Not saying I don’t want buffs, but you get the point :P)

So without further ado…. TADAA:

Featuring everything you’d expect, like wurm stomps, lich stomps, insta bursts, music synchronization and jukez

EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PLANNING TO WATCH THE VIDEO, AT LEAST LOOK AT 13:10 TO SEE THE MOST AMAZING THING IN YOUR LIFE! (You won’t regret it, promise!)

Well I hope this wall of text was somewhat readable, I’m not good at writing posts >.>
Hope you enjoy and have a good day!

Ps. plz buff powa nec, k thx bye

serenke.4806:

Why do so many in this thread care about how other people look? Aside from the obvious five wings blocking the view of the boss in dungeons argument everything else is about how OTHERS will look with the wings.

Why do you care if there are 1000 people running around with this? Also, it appears that you actually want the wings – for your own chars – as long as others cannot get them. Special snowflakes…

Why do you care how others think about this then ? Obviously i don’t wanna look the same as everyone else…was there really a need to explain this ….. ? With a game where you can make so many adjustment to how you can look and how you can differ yourself from others,it’d be strange for people to make all look a likes.And seeing 1000 people with the same items will be breaking immersion for me.Indeed,im a special snowflake

The wings must be mine XD

Then they will surely be yours.

i dont see any reason that speaks against releasing it as outfit + armorsets

Clipping issues are one good reason.

having the set as armor even if quite a few combinations would clip is still 1000000x better than not having it at all or not?

I never got the obsession with the (teh?) clipping. It never bothered me before and even if I noticed it, I can’t imagine being so retentive that I’d be happy that mix and match is gone because of it.

Hi there,

I wanted to say I hate outfits and I hope we will see more gemstore armor sets soon. If not, well no money from me. Outfits idea is a lazy cash grab and I don’t suport lazy marketing. Make an effort, make more armors.

Toodles.

Captain Swag.5893:

Stop making outfits! We cant pick and choose pieces to match with our armor sets, it’s all or nothing, and LOTS of people don’t like that.

That’s nice and all (and quite honestly, I agree), but as long as there’s a market for it (as in, enough people actually buying the stuff) I kinda doubt that you can convince arenanet to just… stop doing it.

Best way is to vote with your wallet and just not buy the outfits.
