Ode to the State of the Game

in PvP

State of the Game?

More like State of the Same
8 long months without meaningful change;

A feature is introduced then gets stripped like a boon
then others are delayed with a promise of “soon”;

We ask for balance and the developers snarl
instead we get the infinite wisdom of Karl;

“A warrior uses burst and a thief uses stealth”
“A necro has death shroud and a little more health”;

Can we get some love for warriors they are starting to envy?
“No, but how about we ninja-nerf their utility, “frenzy”;

Then will you buff sword, axes, or hammers?
“Nope, even better, a small buff to banners!”;

Why do I feel like leaderboards are a myth?
“We’d like to tell you, but instead we’re pleading the 5th”

My friends, don’t hold your breath for e-sport potential
After 8 months of waiting, FeLIVEar is officially MENTAL!

Every time “soon” is said: Take a shot
Every time “we can’t really talk about that” is said: Take 2 Shots
Every time “we’re listening to player feedback” is said: Take 2 shots
Every time “fair enough” is said: Take a shot

If the PvP community is still alive a little bit now, they won’t be after the SotG, because they’ll all be dead from alcohol poisoning.

This is a good idea! In fact, we’ve already discussed this. It’s done and will be in the next patch.

Questions about PvP

E. L. – Question

1. What’s the point of PvP in GW2?
2. Will there be a new ranking system in near future?
3. Will the Paid Tournament system come back in new form?
4. Whats the point of playing PvP for top players? Farming glory on the newbs?
5. Was this patch intended to kill GW2 PvP?
6. Is it so hard to calculate the reward for Tournaments? 2 Team tournament = 200 glory(1 match), 8 Team tournament = 400 glory(3 matches).
7. What’s the difference now between hot-join and tournaments?

I believe this thread needs a bump.

As of late we all have been discussing transparency and lack there of. ArenaNet made a decent attempt at one point trying to communicate to the community and this is where they chose to inform us.

Are you going to be changing reward?

in PvP

Posted by: Kylex.5962

Kylex.5962

just curious as one of the developers said on stream that they was probably going to be adding an actual “reward” the following day (after SOTG) anddddddd its still the same useless junk which you win…
1 silver chest + ticket which you pay anyway + the qp which means absolutly nothing now with the 1v1s.

not only this but eventually people will run out of tickets and if this is some sort of scheme for Anet to make money then its kind of sad.

No thanks, underwater isn’t just balanced enough to be added on the competitive level.

But congrats to PvE players. They’ve got a huge update. The update pvp community’s been waiting for 6 months now.

Sprawl.3891

where did they say the balance patch was 28th? All i have seen is they are looking at bunker/aoe with no ETA mentioned. They said they were looking at bunkers during the first pvp SOTG stream as well and havent touched them.

Op is wrong. Build locking is a good thing.

Some build side decking might be good, but that can be added later on, after weve played with the lockout for a while

You mean players need to make choices and deal with the tradeoffs?

So ArenaNet really does hate Engineers?

Wow, even super elixir was nerfed this bad? Why does arena net insist on physically abusing one of the least played classes to such a ridiculous degree?

Can we please have the lockers display the items in columns of a multiple of 6 rather than 10? Seeing as pretty much all the armor sets are in groups of 6? It blows my mind that the current locker is arranged like so, makes looking for an armor to preview especially frustrating.

And then there is the thing where the armor is sorted out in such a ridiculous manner, starting with footwear and ending with shoulders.
