I wonder how much I’ll be willing to pay for a custom arena?

Let’s see. I would think it worthwhile to spend say 10 silver to create a custom arena lasting for a few days.

I hope it’s not much more expensive than that.

I haven’t seen how much it will cost, but I read somewhere that the starter kit would last one month, and you could add time to it with time tokens afterward. And anyone can contribute time tokens to someone’s custom arena. So a whole guild could contribute a little bit of gold (gem conversion) per month to sustain their own arena.

Finally, a reason to tax PvE and WvW players.

lol

I don’t want to speculate on what the cost will be specifically, but it will certainly be substantially more than that.

Zinwrath.2049:

what about those of us that already bought our custom arena?

As customers (we already paid the tokens) we have the RIGHT to test the custom arenas too! Most top 50qp dont play anyway, why not top 50 ladder?

lol I actually thought you were joking but your not haha :/

I dont joke on serious business!

11- Enable auto target on cast to be set on a per skill basis (sort of like auto cast is now) as opposed to all or none.

Hi, I would like to see something like this:

This… explains a lot.

Follidus.8027:

I don’t get it, do you not want devs to explore builds that are not up to par in spvp and try to figure out how to make them better?

Folly, he has been using them signets for a while, and I can appreciate the fact that devs don’t run what we do. Maybe he is on meta 2016 or something who knows. GW1 kinda went in a circle of gvg metas.
The weakness of the signet is two fold and simple. No team play and no instant effects. If they make signets instant active on wars, it would actually be a good build imo.

Haha, made my day! Thanks m8!

No (buff) update for the warrior? Okay, fine, so more weeks without gw2. maybe I should just delete the game?! A-net has no plan anyway. Hope dies last.

only tournament matches count towards leaderboards.. hotjoins do not

Discussion: Why people think Eles is Op?

Because when damage-dealers go all-in on them, they don’t die right away. And when your whole team focuses them, they don’t die right away. However, when they decide to fight you back, they effectively set you up to be killed. Some may argue that they’re too effective at what they do.

That’s the basic gist of everything. If every class in the game could fulfill those criteria listed above, then there wouldn’t be a balance issue.

Sittingonacouch.com is proud to introduce our first ever EU Tournament update featuring some of the top EU Tournament players. Each month we will feature some exciting tournament stories, current in game metas, tips and tricks, and a special guest solo queue player. This week our hosts talk about leaderboards, team makeups, favorite maps, ma kitten ues that need to be fixed and some of their favorite tricks for tournament play. SOAC Gaming is proud to feature as our hosts Danto of Team Curse, Battosai of Team IDL, and the currently number 1 ranked EU player Denshee of Team IDL. Symbolic of Team Paradigm was unable to make this podcast, but we hope to catch him back in a few of our future ones.
Throughout this podcast, you get to know some of the best players in the tournament game today, and hear their take on what really matters in today’s game. They give feedback on some of the current meta’s. You get to hear them rage against the Spirit watch, explain why the Ranger is one of the most underrated classes in the game, and give a detailed perspective on each map. We also map out the direction we want to take into the future. Give us your feedback, and let them know that you want to hear more.

We are going to expand to two hours next month so send us your questions for the next podcast.

I agree with you Stormleaf. The best fix IMO for Ele runners is to make RTL effected by cripple/chill.

I see all these comlpaints about the ele. they are warranted sure…but what about the freaking ranger? i’m seeing rangers carry orb from pedastal to raven in less than four seconds … taking almost no dmg and shedding any attacks and roots..one because of evades..and too because roots like inf strike don’t work on half the freaking map. they deposit orb..and bam are back at pedastal before it even respawns.

If they’re doing it in less than four seconds, they’re hacking =P

Either way it still only takes about half as long as an ele does if the ranger is even halfway decent. Plus like he said they have a million and a half evades and all that.

All their leaps are also slowed by cripple/chill (on top of the orb slow). They lack any form of aegis so they’re easily stopped from picking up the orb in the first place. They have to actually build around orb-capping at the expense of power if they want to truly excel at it, while Elementalists get all their orb-running tools for free in their standard, OP builds. They have limited access to CC, etc.

Sure, they’re better at orb-running than a lot of professions in the right hands, but complaining about that is just as foolish as complaining about any other class that can do things better than the rest when built right. Rangers are easily countered if you know what you’re doing, while Elementalists basically just get to do whatever they want without any consequences, regardless of how their opponents react.

forrae.6708:

i was in a group with 4 mesmers. i was the only nonmesmer, on my ele.

on a related note, ive been against a team of 4 guardians and 1 warrior. needless to even mention who won that one.

what needs to be put in place is some system that tries to limit it to only 2 per class on a team. not sure how easy that would be to implement, especially considering you can just make a team of 5 insert class here and queue up.

I would rather them figure out how to actually put 2 groups of close to equal skill together before this. But that is for a different thread.

Back on topic I feel that on Spirit Watch alone is where the Ele is OP. Any other map and you can work around it and make it useless, but Spirit watch it just seems unfait tbh.

Eles do have higher burst than other profesions if spected so (base damage on spells). Actually they can kill quicker than a backstab thief glass cannon.

Point is eles are actually to op. With experience and they big skill cap you can do tones of damage, bunker and all the things op said. Me, as a ele since beta I think they need some type of nerf, no that bigg because they can easily turn thm to squishy.

What we want is some type of buff with the nerf, so we have other viable builds.

Please put these in randomized maps.

We want a randons maps not specific ...

Khalifahaze.6045:

It blows my mind honestly that we can’t just have random maps or even a different map everyday. Every other game has been able to generate maps randomly it can’t be that hard.

Did they ever say that they actually can’t do random maps or is it like this for a specific reason?

They think that having random maps would cause teams to run more generic / more balanced builds.

Of course this is absurd since most people only play one class and the only build that won’t be run is the ranger that ran orbs real good. They’re in a gw1 mentality since gw2 ‘builds’ are way more flexible than gw1 builds were.[/quote]

An arenanet dev made a post about two-three weeks ago where he said that they ’’don’t yet have the feature to randomize maps’’

So no, they’re just absolutely incapable developers that can’t add something that exists in atari games.

Random maps please! It would be more entertaining.

give warriors more combo fields / boon removals – white dmg is fun but I want complexity!

developers should be ashamed
just kidding, they don’t give a kitten.

He’s just pulling numbers over. Which is great, but he didn’t develop any algorithms or API. It’s not like he built a ranking system from scratch.

yes but devs could have added a “show all” option as a temporary way to let people search.

Kultas Sunstrider.9218:

It is not my goal to make developers ashamed, they are much skilled then me, but they are small team with many tasks to be done, so they can’t really focus on everything at the same time
I’m glad people find this useful, because that motivates me to improve it even more!

Banners are still useless and will be completely useless to me until we can summon them and attach it to our backs so that we can move and swing our weapons and gain benefits from the banners.

well QQ or not, i believe 99% (random stat) of the pvp playerbase is waiting for the BIG pvp patch as a last chance for anet to make this a decent game.
so yes, you can see thread like this every day, to make sure anet underestand what is their community’s pov about this game.

Arenanet, this is not another thread about incoming features we PvPers want to see as soon as possible or a whine post about the lacks of… pretty much everything in this game PvP-side (there are already tons of topic about this). Every top PvP player loves this game and his combat system, but we are also very tired and bored and we’re leaving due to the lack of new features and the proper attention by the devs to the PvP aspect of the game. The competitive scenario is gone from a long time and the PvP overall is stagnant. Only six months have passed and the PvP of the game is already dead.

This is an advice for you, Anet: the March patch is for real your last hope to bring back old players who left and to save the game. If the next update will suck as older updates, you can definitively say bye bye to the PvP aspect of GW2.

Arenanet, we all love your game and its mechanics. Save it now. This is your last chance.

P.S.: apologize my bad englisch
