Green = Overgrowth (Champion)
Blue = Frostreach (Challenger)
Red = Badlands (Underdawg)

When your always on Red it means that your server on WvW (Mist War) is always losing the PopulationWars2

the color on Mist War of your server determines the color you will be on EoTM

Isn’t that pointless?? I mean have thing balanced so everyone will now that when they logged in will have a great time playing !!

It has to do anything about server in that you are in WvW or.. etom its just another “mega server” with overflows ??

Ktrain is Anet definition of gtreat time playing.
IF players dont fight game is balanced no one complains about class balance.

Meta DH’s aren’t going to post PVP pwnage vids on youtube. Why? because they don’t want the nerf. That’s why they keep saying its “balanced” so they can get a free pass for another season.

OMG a huge internet wide conspiracy of DH players who decide together not to post videos on YouTube so that the class doesn’t get nerfed. LOL do you even listen to yourself?

Lol I mean his last sentence is true but it’s true of most monoclassers.

DH meta? its only me that feels that DH are easy to beat? -.-"

? stil funny cause th eonly viable builds we have is fire condi and traps that only beats awfull players… anything else is useless.

Necros are weak when alone, i dont think nerf damage output would be good.

The real issue is the damage output of other classes mixtured with with stacked necros.

ReV hammer Stacked spammers, DH Ji trappers stacked, and a few others, Anet increased the aoe/cleave spam on this game, while they should reduce it and make some aoe classes unique.

Dont change necro, changes all the other classes cleave/aoe spam… to just a few skills.

Even my heavy modded skyrim is way more balanced than this game. XD

Anet needs to design classes in pvp in mind and then adapt them do pve, the aoe/cleave spam in this game makes it horrible to watch, reason why pvp isnt that much observed, people get disgusted with all the splash damage.

Nope Anet, i have better skill/reflex base game to play arround pvp, bringging ascended gear as reward wont make me play your “very gimmick” build to win game.

Besides gw2 pvp is arround find power creep gap build, with gimmick rotation and learn 2 play arround that… still fuggly as hell to observe and unskilled gameplay, and with the pve class aoe/cleave spam deisgn on pvp.. even worse.

Gwaihir.1745:

Putting a cast time on virtues would be a nerd even with your suggested buffs.

See DH f3 on release for reference people hated it even though it is a powerful block simply because it took away a lot of gameplay possibilities of guard f3.

strong yet so week for those who know how to counter…. dont even need to get on guardians back :\

Huskyboy.1053:

And back to Puncture Shot, I was hitting 1.8k crits on a thief (probably running Marauder’s Ammy) in the match I just played. I was running Marauder’s and Traveler’s rune. That’s just too much damage for an AA, especially considering Thief has medium armor.

rev hammer auto hits for like 3k tho?

that is skilled…. plz… players arent good in this game if they arent playing easy gimmick rotations. :P

Power build skills damage output need to be a bit cutted on classes that dont use much power, some classes can do very good damage w/o using that much power stats, even i on NOMADS do damage with traps in wvw…. and can kill targets with cleric traper on spvp players need to use stats more to achieve damage , conditions migh be fine since they are the gw1 condition+hex pressure builds stacked in one output source, the problem might be the power damage output that is easy to spam,we have alot of cleaves (splash damage), low cooldown aoe’s, and that migh be the issue and not the condi builds.

Condi builds should exist they serverd to pressure targets that can hold the damage atack, the issue here is that power damages builds are easy to play as in easy to achieve damage that can easilly overwhelm most classes vitality/toughness, when ic a rev CoR making one druid from 90%+ health to down state, this tells me alot of how unskilled gw2 is.

Fire(can be easilly super stacked with the right builds and teamplay), confusion migh be the only 2 conditions that migh need some checkup, after some balance changes for some power skills the unblockables migh need to be reviewed as well since ivne been atacks with skills that take alot of hp while under RF effect.

ive seen alot of players wanting to rely on damage output builds that ahve very low CD, so they dont need much effort to be efficient at least, but maybe that is why gw2 was designed for, reason pvp isnt nothing special either, they cutted alot of know how stuff was needed in gw1 pvp, wich is what this game is lacking by alot.

sorry for my bad english and if text sounds confusing o.O

Spartacus.3192:

shagwell.1349:

Can we nerf power damage as well then?

Sure…..lots of people including myself have asked for a rollback of the insane power (power/condi) creep since HOT release.

indeed, but a game that was built to navigate arround damage output build so players all have the chance to win more often, that will hardly change, they will see as in “that will damage pve” and not the idea/foundations of what gw2 was built on.

sadly… war.. i ment, gw2 never changes.

guardian runes :P ????

when people realize how good they are even on bunker builds people will start crying for nerfs.

IndigoSundown.5419:

Aeolus.3615:

Gw2 is all about AoE spam.

Yep, which is fine in PvE, OK in PvP but a pain in the kitten in WvW. And no, OP, I don’t like zerg fights in WvW at all.

Gw2 needs to envolve to a more clever skill usage system, that is what makes pvp games interesting.
For pvp / wvw and even pve, alot of aoe should be cleaves, and autos atacks mostly need to be single targeted, instead of cleaves.

it is not cheating, its a fun thing that Anet added to the game, thats the way Anet defines fun, remmember the golem damage event?

just remove the unblockable, players need to look target to see if they are fit to cast epi on.

Dawdler.8521:

Its nowhere near enough, what is that crap?!

As everyone know, minspec for GW2 is Intel i7 7xxx series, 64gb ram, Nvidia Titan X in a quad sli setup (dual sli if you want to run on peasant quality graphics), 2TB M.2 SSDs in raid0 (5000/1000 mpbs write speed minimum) and not one but two physical soundcards to drive each of your Sennheiser Orpheus headphone speakers.

u farming bit coins there?? o.O

-Population is the issue due how is being distributed over several servers.
-stack alot aoe and CC classes makes the “clear path” much easy migh be a issue the CC spam wars + AoE
-Servers cant hold that many players as maps require, at least desert Bl be a good experience.
-Gameplay enforces stacking in one group, while ppt is useless, and structures even t3 are easy to get, due the reason theres no defenders 80% of the time.

There are alot of bad things in WvW that makes the game run this way.

So i dont think the issue is desert BL itself.

Syrius Gorn.5384:

“Do we have to wait to 2017?”

yeah pretty sure now.

We have to wait to 2017 for season 5 and balance patch, they don’t care about us, they don"t care about their game.

They are noob in communication it’s just crazy

chill they were talking at least about something that they should had done in the 1st or 2nd year of the game…. at least they are thinking on improving something.

Leadderborads with ranks are super welcome, altough about the balance XD best skilled gimmicker may rise.

Beter way to late then never :P

Nuzt.7894:

Aeolus.3615:

big server vs medium server vs mall server, this is what WvW was supose to be, ktrain were part of the design, to work like Alliance batles cap n leave shrines.

They will never change that.

This guy seems really obsessed with K-Training.

-.-" i’am, yesterday everytime i logged on, the first thing that would apear on my chat was 25+ in our Eb keep for CD or yaks, a few times there were just 2 – 3 defending.

And it kittens cause Anet does not even pair servers that fight withing the same player peaks maintime, against each other.

yeah gunflame and killshot will hurt alot but the warrior will loose alot as well for the skill to be that deadly it it migh be to much on a bzerker with ffree adrenaline bzerkers needs a fre adjustments IMO, and killshot animation is warrior kneeling and rifles charging up, i think its a good TOP damage skill that will make player think, it has counters, on the other and Anet made rev hammer CoR just a 4sec CD, faster than the dodge recharge bar, and a aoe skill fore the skillest players.

The issue migh be that bzerker is a panzer improvement on top of another panzer :], i think the skill is ok, and is the class that should be looked at (the base values).

Still there are more nooby carring classes like hammer ReV.

CoR needs to be nerfed to single target and similiar CD to killshot, than Killshot needs a nerf.
Blocked CoR will improve damage due trait
Its a AoE high damage skills on 4sec CD and was 2sec at beggining.
Only way to avoid it is by dodging.
Each dodge needs 5 seconds to recharge.

Sorry if my english is hard to understand:}.

Grebcol.5984:

P/P with bound is DH destroyer. You have great Stealth uptime and u can make with it great dmg pressure on DH. Due distance u don’t have to walk into traps. You only have to watch that u don’t get pulled. And like with D/P don’t use basi in your first strike.

deppends if DH is using shield and SW soa the thief will need to get in close, and that means get trapped, and that DH was not doimg that much damadge with traps.

Next Legend: John Cena

For those Revenants that literally can’t see you.

Personally voting for Randy Orton

The undertaker….

For sure Anet will steal the paragon from Guardian and give paragon to Rev trough Kormir.
Kormir fits well the class as well, she leeched all the way like hammer revs do >:|

That remmidns the war of emperium from RO.
good old times :\ and lots of lag :], altough castles were a very important thing in that game.

Domes/walls, dont work against AoE(ground) skils, only against projectiles, stack most classes with AoE damage output that will ignore those walls and domes..

stack 5-15(deppending group size mixtured with water eles and druids) hammer ReV spamming cors (cor animation will be invisible for most and that alot of aoe that only choice is be dodged).
IF any guard blocks., next impact will make more damage due the rev trait, where this lands everyone melts.

Gw2 is all about AoE spam.

Xillllix.3485:

When they made the HoT classes I don’t think they spent a minute to think about WvW.

They didnt even think in pvp, they design classes by “oh this would be fun as in broken so kewl”, heavy damage and AoE gimmicks/spam are the base fundation where gw2 was built on.

Spartacus.3192:

Durability runes are so brokenly OP in WvW (esp in zergs) that any Warrior not running them must like deliberately gimping themselves.

Gw2 is all about gimmick.

big server vs medium server vs mall server, this is what WvW was supose to be, ktrain were part of the design, to work like Alliance batles cap n leave shrines.

They will never change that.

Yannir.4132:

Your ability to jump into conclusions is remarkable. /sarcasm

I think Braham just became a Dragonhunter btw.

So that’s why he is so grumpy he need to play noob(gimmick trap pooper) damage build to actually be on pair with other gimmick players

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

All maps have spots where attackers can sit and long siege and the best way the enemy can stop them is by sending forces to them, or countering it outside the keep. I believe this is intended. I find sieging Desert BL way more strategic than sieging Alpine. Alpine is very basic and straight forward.

oh yeah completelly agree with you.

(edit) cant reach that ladder on the rock were i saw people with catas -.-" for some reason i dont do jumping puzles….

Interesting i think i missed those mortars that can hit the desert, meanwhile the issue with the game might not be the keeps design, maybe its because even if a server has players they are all stacked in one map, cause theres no point on defending, almost no one cares about ppt.

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

You have to be specific. What keep are you referring to.

Mostly Air keep, alttough fire has those places as well.

MaLeVoLenT.8129, atackers can place siege were the defenders cant reach, only by blobbing the adversary, i ocmpletelly agree with maps being atm abit broken as well since even apline lost its main charateristic.

And keep lords are super easy, just bring a group good in CC, and EWP’s if your groups is fast eneught getting on the inside, EWP can be turned a bag farm .

lol…. i was about to talk about djin form were suited more for elementalis than dervish avatars, and for surprise that is what i found.

Altough how the game is balanced they would need to be broken by defense or offensive sjing forms.. if aint broken people would not play it..

HardRider.2980:

Because Guards already have a ton of swiftness applying skills.

" a ton" are you kidding me? there is actually 1 skill with swiftness, 2 skills if u have a staff….

You’re forgetting “Save Yourselves” plus there’s a trait called Honorable Staff which increases boon duration if equipping a staff. But let me ask this, why why wouldn’t you have a staff equipped? It’s not like World Completion will suffer because you carry a Staff and swiftness is useless in a combat situation in my opinion anyway.

people want to get stuff w/o actually trait or use weapon for it, altough swiftness on staff needs a very small QoL.

if we all added the list of stuff we wanted w/o actually get the right weapon or traitline.,… this would end like the revenant forum… lol

Alot of classes can defeat the DH, DH trapper only works with power creep momments, DH f3 even if they have stability is super easy to counter… since every ground skill is aoe(360º) it will hit the DH.

Swagger.1459, it needs alot of changes, the overall design ideia is there but theres alot of wrong done in that map its to much for the game and also the WvW mechanics are to dull to support a map that does not offer much besides size… the glitches and keeps that can get bombarded by siege +1200 meter above the keep… its a very flawed concept as well.
Map needs to loose alot of the vertical design and, and be more chanllanging on the horizontal, wich just some minor aditions.

jamesdolla.3954:

Foghladha.2506:

No thank you. If you dont like it stay off it. I love it.

Of course you like it. you can pvd on DBL without anyone responding. Doesn’t change the fact that the map just isn’t working out.

jamesdolla, offcorse u want 3 alpine maps, easy to ktrain with lesser effort than ktrain the DBL right… ?

Why not request a tune/change/Fix to the map, post what are the map issues? instead of giving QQ, and want it out of the game w/o pointing valid reasons?

And the map is easy to get arround as much as alpine, the issue is for defenders in that map…and besides u can ktrain much faster if u use the “tricks” Anet refuses to fix, if no one is watching its fine.

CreedOfGod.9764:

mike put.6892:

how about we keep rifle like it is so pleb wars wont be able to 1/2shot people anymore.

Too late for that. Still getting 20-25k gunflames to the face

warrior rifle is a easy counter to DH they melt.. everything melts …

Tbh epidemic is fine where its at. It does what its meant to do. Its the condi damage that needs a nerf.

Well if they nerf condi dmg then they need to boost condi skills and nerf condi cleanse.

They just need to take out runes of durability in that process, and most conditions are actually fine just a very few ones need to be checked but the same goes to some gimmicks that carry the players, meanwhile the spam of aoe/cleave splashing arorund is much worse than deal with conditions, almost everything is cleave and aoe….

WvW is just stack as much gimmcik aoe classes u can, and ktrain the freaking maps…

Played GS berserker couple days ago and it’s just ridiculous. You don’t even have to have any idea how to play and you still contribute 10 times more than condi users. Berserker mode on F1, spam some other skills, F1, spam some other skills and F1.

Sounds something that fits well this game full of skilled players.

Chorazin.4107, slap fix? u can still enter directly to center keep or glitch inside keeps and towers…

right on spot

That is how i feel with when i read the polls….

Why woud stealth needs to be removed?

Stealth needs to behave like how its behaving due the game is very gimmick otyherwise would be useless.

Imagine if targets hitted on stealth, stealth would end? To work like this, the spam aoe/cleave game would have to be diminished, and alot of players would QQ in the process cause they would stop being carried with alot of gw2 gimmickness.

Anet designed gw2 with players being carried alot by gimmicks build/classes in mind, so stealth being how it is, its part of the game ideal.

No thank you. If you dont like it stay off it. I love it.

As much i actually like the map as well, the map its to buggy, we all can gltich to inside tower and keeps, Anet never fixed that its like they are in hope we ktrain via those glitches -.-".

I could point out other issue but that would be talking about wvw generally.. the game mode that lacks alot, reason people only ktrain.

Jeknar.6184:

A thief that is idiot enough to step in a stealth trap after seeing a person kneeling to deploy it deserve to die.
Stealth Disruptors must stay and should be buffed imo as they are almost useless as they are.

A thief that cant kill a player while he is deplying a stealth trap, does not deserve even to be playing this… probably should be playing a class that would carry him with easy damage output.. like hammer rev or bzerker free adrenaline builds.

Lord of Rings.5371:

Only a WvW player voted to bring Alpline Borderlands back.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Alpine-Borderlands-will-be-back/first#post6072461

That is the ktrain voting ^^… alpine is empty as desert bl. lol

Funny on the Alpine vs Desert discussion, funny how both sides have the reason.

The thing is ktrainers voted in Alpline cause is a free map to Ktrain, and defenders voted in Alpine BL as well, cause Desert BL has alot of game design complication that need to be removed, way to many.

@OP if u find epidemic OP, 2 things, u dont run condi cleanses or your group or commander needs to improve.

Condi bombs are super strong, it is not the stronger AOE bomb in the game, migh be the one that puts more pressure if your group dont have GIMMICK durability runes, and people cleasing conditions.

Some conditions need to be looked at, they pass trough certain things that shouldnt pass but that is another diferent story….

Necros are super easy on 1 vs 1…. due the power creep that is possible in alot of weapn classes and utilities.
They might be almost as a free bag as a vanilla guardian.. lol, sometimes a wild good necro apears but that is 1 in 100…

lel….. indeed, many players want to be carried more than the game already carries alot of players with the actual damage output gimmick + low effort skills.

Well… out staff skills could get a small QoL :P stop to stack speed is idiotic at minimal

retreat is 33% movement speed for 20sec+ … why should we get a passive 25% speed?

we have quite some leaps and teleports to targets as well… we already have alot of run away capable classes, guardian was designed to stay in combat, as much other classes can still have more surviability for that…

We could say the same of the Alpine BL…. its empty all the time unless a ktrain is happening, same goes on desert BL….

Remove both then?

I dont think positioning is that bad, that would make the caster need to be a bit clever to put the sbow on safe zone and then select the zone to barrage on command.
Something like a siege of small burst heals, and remove condis with its AA (1 target and 2 close allies to that target).

To use the skill like ur saying that means discard the skill entirely :\ righ?
Why would cast a bow that dont use arrows? XD

They arent useless they are awfully coded skills.. its diferent.

I dont like most of it, i think they need to stay close how they work on vanilla but better, that was the point of having Spirit weapons support, for what they do u have a huuuge cooldowns.. and replacing the weapons for SW is impractical, ur killing alot of good stuff that are possible to do with SW.

-How Spirit weapons work and are coded is the issue, their lifetime and the A.i do not compensate the 60sec CD in shield and bow.
- SoA needs the domes pulse over time, that is very important, SoA is a very strong skill on any game mode, its already an aegis and a stun breaker(aoe SB on command same with the aegis).
- that bow migh be the start for something good, i loved the barrage over time idea, issue is the skill duration, needs to stay for its time, we could cast/deploy it and it would barrage the flagged zoned over time.

Sword and Hammer i think it could work like that if they stay atached to the guardian, fix a bit the animation for them to look like an extension, and if a player JI, atached weapon would acconpany the guardian, still i would reduce the CD, and give them a life time or HP as well.

@OP play DH with traps, problem solved.

humm guardian aplyes protection, hammer prot guar can get it as 100% uptime.
u messed the classes there? XD

how did i mess that up? guadian provides protection i said that.
