Guild Wars 2

If you hate pvp then stop playing it…

I haven’t experienced it either… Im enjoying this season tremendously

Im having a great time…. Everyone here just thinks that everyone hates this season because most people dont come here unless they are complaining about something

People forget that the whole division deal isn’t to allow everyone to get diamond or legendary. If you are not good enough to get there then you simply won’t. I agree that sometimes you get bad teammates and that’s fine and all but if you are only winning 50% or less, then the game has you where you need to be. It’s not fun being there, but that’s the system telling you that you are where you are supposed to be. Good players win despite having bad teammates, so they are the ones that are highly ranked with good mmr

Still looking………………….

My thing with the meta that I love so much is that every class can has a chance to kill all other classes. Obviously this is easier for other classes, but regardless, we dont have classes running around that cant die even if you had the whole team on them. We are talking about average to about average players here as well, not super good #1 players in their classes… Thats a different story

Still looking!!!!!

Am I the only one that enjoys supporting a team? Maybe this is just cause I mained a healer in my WoW days, but whatever it may be I thoroughly enjoy supporting and healing. And a lot of people complain that you cant kill people 1v1… Well to begin with if you are 1v1ing someone you aren’t exactly where you need to be. Ele’s in pvp are for team fights and supporting in those team fights, all of you probably know this. I know getting into 1v1s isn’t avoidable, but if you happen to find yourself into one then your team should see that and rotate to help.

Hello everyone! I have recently come back from a few month break and after queuing up solo, I have decided that I want to get myself back into the competitive grove.

To tell you about myself and my pvp experience!

PvP XP:
-Countless AG tourneys, as well as PugQuests for fun!
-Past team experience with Best Team North Africa, (Aka Gems N Tonic, Pro League Team), and countless other teams though not as big.
-1500+ Ranked / Team Games in pvp for Ele only
-Diamond in first Season, and already Ruby in the 3 days Ive been back in Season 2
-Good mechanical skills
-Good Rotations
-Good Support
-Good Communication Skills

Me as a person:
-In general I am a very laid back, but competitive person. Nothing gets under my skin to easily and I really like to face problems head on. Generally, facing problems head on and conquering those problems forms bonds with the people you do them with, leading to better teams and better relationships!
-I am on EST time
-Available most days, and always on weekends
-I’m 18

If you have any other questions that you would like to ask, or are interested in trying me out, just send me an in game mail!

EDIT: Now Diamond!

well I understand that. Its more of a question of when do I use them and when do I not

Aye guys, I just came back to the game from a pretty long break and just purchased HoT. Enjoying the new tier system a lot, but I’ve noticed that the meta has shifted a lot more than I originally thought it would, including Elementalist. I used to be a decent D/D in my eyes, but now we have Tempest. Everyone is telling me that Tempest is super OP and can tank for days and push out a lot of DPS. Well… I guess you could say I disagree with that.

Basically Im asking for assistance on what people do to make it so good, because I just dont see it. Just being an idiot probably, and it will probably come down to when and where to use overloads and such, but w/e. Guess Im just used to all the power stuff that we used to have.

Anyways, thanks for the help in advance

Ah ok thanks guys. Btw I (attempt) to play Tempest if that means anything. If anyone would like to shed some tips on playing that too that’d be great. Im used to the massive damage before the Xpac, and now its all bunky and no damage so…. yeah.

Hello all! Back from a break and just purchased HoT. Was playing some pvp and realized that the meta changed more than I thought it would and now have no idea who to target first…Can you guys help me out with which class/spec or whatever to kill first? Thanks in advance!

This is kinda flawed dont you think? Some sports on that graph are considerably more popular that others.

Hey all, so all I have left for my legendary is map comp, but there is no way that I am going to be able to do it by myself, so I am seeking a buddy to do it with.
I am at 50% map comp atm…

I do require that you have TS so that we both wont die of boredom while we are doing this, but anyway… Cya in game

Edit: btw I am NA, and I am EST. ALSO, Id really like to get this done in the next week if possible so…yeahhhh

Still looking…

Hello all, you may or not know me as Ki De Kah in game, but I am looking for a dedicated team to do weekly AG’s, and maybe more in the future. I mainly play D/D ele, but I can play anything Ele with ease in case I need to switch for whatever the reason may be.

Some things about me :
Rank 80
1500+ Games on Elementalist
3 Champ titles (Ele, Warrior, Thief)
Variety of tourney experiences as both a free agent and on a team
– All 3 ToL’s , 8 AG’s (5 team 3 FA), 3 PugQuest (All FA)
I know rotations good
Communicates good
Can be on most days
Good attitude

Any who, as you can see above, I am no new player to the competitve scene. I don’t want new pvp players, I want a good well built team. I am willing to learn new classes or builds if I need to so dont be afraid to contact me if you need something other than a ele. Anyways, if you are interested you can comment here or preferably you can message me in game!

K so I have been dueling a signet necro for the past 30 minutes or so and he has beat me all but 1 time. Im not coming on here to complain of something being over powered or something I just want to know how to beat them. Im not dying to like a stupid necro, because we all know that 90% of the necros in pvp are freaking idiots. I want to know how to beat the good ones. The problem is that almost all of my burst skills are applying burning, and my condi removal is applying burning, but necro has that stupid condi transfer, and Im not really sure how to get around that while still doing damage. I cant really help but put tons of burning on him. I cant dodge the condi transfer because it has no animation and its unblockable if I remember correctly. So what do I do? If I try to play the long fight, I die, and If I play the fast and “in your face” fight, I die in like 3 seconds.

TL;DR How do I beat a signet Necro with their condi transfer, without sacraficing my own burst

Just made this video on a whim, but tell me what you guys think! What would’ve you changed??

Btw, being rank 80 shows nothing but time played in pvp.. I have had rank 20’s know more about the mechanics of pvp then some rank 80s. Rank doesnt prove you are good at the game.

Who left?? I thought you guys were just looking for 1?

Just something I made while I was bored… Hope you enjoy!

Hello all, some of you may know me ingame as Ki De Kah, most wont. Anyway, I am looking for a group of exceptional PvPers to team up with in weekly AG’s, and PuGquests when they return after the WTS.

A bit about myself:
I main ele, although I can play Mesmer, Guard, Warrior, and thief relatively well.
- Champ titles in most of the above classes
- Have 1500+ games in Ele, 400+ in Mesmer, 650+ on Thief, 500+ on war, 200+ on Guard
- Played in 5 AG tournaments (Twice as a Free Agent, Three times on a team), and all 3 ToL’s
- Have good knowledge of the game
- Good Communications
- Available nearly every Weekend and Monday for tournaments
- On almost everyday of the week
- TS3
- Top 200 back on team leaderboard, Top 350 on solo Q leaderboard

This is mostly everything I can think of off the top of my head atm. Anyway contact me if you are interested in picking me up, trying me out, or starting a team with me ingame, pming on the forums, or commenting on this post.

Thanks, Ki De Kah

I play anything ele in the book, but mostly D/D. I have played on a few teams over the years, but am looking for a new team. I have played ele since about the second month after release, and have 2000+ games on ele alone (a few hundred on everything else with the exception of Engi and necro). I have played in Countless AG weekly tournaments, on both teams and as a free agent, and have also played in the ToL 1,2, and 3. I have been in the top 200 on both the solo and team leaderboards (when those were a thing), and have a champ title on most of my chosen classes. I can play almost everyday at anytime (I am EST btw). Anyway, hit me up ingame if you wanna try me out or something

I didnt mean to come across as mean or unsupportive of the idea, Im just saying it from anets perspective. It wont happen simply because of what I said above

Anet is trying to get the community to stay together, not drive it apart. 1. This would heavily separate the community. 2. It would still have so many flaws its not even funny. 3. Queue times for “level 3” players would be forever, and I know people already complain about queue times. If you are tired of losing cause of idiots then get a team or a group of friends to play with.

Feedback anyone?

(THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN THE HoT FORUMS BUT I FELT AS IF THIS SHOULD ALSO BE POSTED HERE FOR ALL PVPERS TO SEE! PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK!)

sPvP players. I am a PvX player for the most part although 60-70% of my time is in spvp. After reading the posts by anet about guild halls I came to the conclusion that these things look pretty awesome, and I really want one for my guild. Well, I cant help but feel bad for the spvp’ers who arent going to be able to enjoy these great new assets. With the new expansion release in the near future, and the release of the “Pre-Order”, as well as the initial disagreements over the price, I have come to the thought of sPvP guild halls.

Now, I suppose you may be asking, “How could this work”, “What will it do”, and “How could you upgrade it”. Well this is simple.

—HOW COULD THIS WORK?
> This could work primarily as a way for the spvp community to feel as if they are getting more than just a new pvp map and some mediocre balance changes in the new expansion! This could work by having 2 categories of how you can begin and continuing the building of your guild halls. The first choice is how they have it now, through guild missions, treks, etc. The Second Option could be through sPvP things.

—HOW CAN YOU UPGRADE IT?
> This is quite simple and obvious really, through guild rank points earned/glory (could be brought back)/guild accomplishments/ranks/etc. As a group of team mates queues together, points are earned at a gradual rate, say maybe 5 points per minute in game, or possibly based off of if you win your match, or lose, say 10 points for a win and 5 points for a loss. Once you generate enough points you can buy different things that revolve around a sPvP team or guild.

—WHAT WILL IT DO?
>The sPvP guild halls could do a certain amount of things that could really show off the amazing accomplishments some of the people have in this game, and it could also be used for social gatherings, and or for of course…pvp! My idea goes as follows: one major aspect of sPvP guild halls go along with what Custom arena were supposed to be (IMO), which is either a blank and bare map which allows us to place items and points where we wish to put them. Of course the amount of items that are placed could or maybe couldnt be limited as this may or may not create lag. With the custom maps, this would not only feel as if there are way more maps in the game to play, but this would also help with new game types/modes for future PvP maps. Now for the accomplishments, this could simply be a giant room of stuff or statistics about the team or guild that the guild hall is for. For example, The Abjured would have WTS trophies, Llamas, ToL wins, ESL wins, and the list goes on and on, and the guild halls would really allow for these teams to show what they have done and accomplished! More stuff could be added to the accomplishment room of course in later updates, but this is just stuff that has come off the top of my head.

In reality, this really wouldnt be all that hard for Anet to create. We know as of right now that the item placement in Custom arenas wouldnt be hard as the new arena’s in guild halls now allow you to place items (probably on a grid system). The accomplishments wouldnt be all that hard to track as its just as simple as adding/sending a trophy or banner to the members of team that had won a tournament for them to place in the accomplishments room!

This could finally be something that the sPvP community could use and have that would make them/us feel as loved as pve as it would allow us to work for something again! Once you took away hard ranking back a few years ago, as well as with the new wardrobe release, you took away out sPvP skins that made us feel special! Dont you remember when seeing someone in CoF gear in sPvP was something special? You knew that person had worked hard that gear, and you knew they were a force to be reckoned with, but now the spvp community has nothing to show for what they have accomplished. Really Anet, please consider this, as this community needs something that gives us a sense of love. With no love really going towards sPvP in the upcoming expansion, this is exactly what we need to stay invested in the game that much longer!

If you are asking if there is a 10v10 option, then no there isnt. Im not sure where you are playing in a 10v10 match either. Most lobbies allow 20 people to join the match, but usually only 10 are playing. 10v10 on a 3 point map would be horrible as no point would ever be taken unless people were just straight stupid. Now maybe a 10v10, 5 point map would be fun, but let me tell ya, that TS would be way too hectic to even thing about and keep up with what was going on around the map.

It always gives me a chuckle to read these threads. I have an idea…oh this is a marvelous idea. If you dont like the game….dont play it. Last time I checked, no one is making you play, so if you dont enjoy it, play something else.

Im sorry… Power necro more survivable then S/F fresh air? If you have a decent ele playing S/F it can be quite a bit of a challenge to kill them, with all of the invulns, reflects, and blocks…no Im sorry.

It doesnt need to change. A lot of thieves carry SR for the res-ability that it gives. It adds safe resses and gives some interesting gameplay. If you see a thief approaching or you have a downed thief and he had already used his “2” downed skill, his “3” skill will almost be off CD. Just cleave after he uses his 2…so easy.

I still think that stealth should be treated how to is in WoW. If someone who is in stealth gets hit by damage then it removes them from stealth, but it shouldn’t give them revealed. Only certain skills should put revealed, idk for instance maybe the ele’s revealed skill is Phoenix. 1. This isn’t spammable 2. If it doesn’t hit the person stealthed then the ele is out a good damage source. 3. It makes stealth more precious and strategic, and it may push the meta away from stealthing. Just my 2 cents. (On my iPhone so sorry if the grammar or spelling is bad… Stupid auto correct)

Hey thanks for everyone that came out! We will probably be having another tryout soon! Message me ingame if you are interested

EDIT: I Believe we found our Medi Guard and Cele Engi. Message me anyways if you are one of these classes

Starting early… whiper me ingame for a inv. BTW you dont have to stay the whole time!

Tryouts tonight from 9pm-12am

I’ve been saying for like a year now that there should be prestige. With prestige, people can get more achievements unlocked, more skins, more finishers, etc. PVP ranks kinda matter again and we get the cool cosmetics we want.

Remember… If anyone is interested in the tryouts, you need to rsvp with me before you can come!

Next official tryouts will be on Friday, June 5th. This will be for anyone who wants to tryout for the team. It will be held more than likely around 9pm-12am ish EST , give or take a few minutes.

I REALLY NEED RSVP FOR YOU TO COME! HAVE 10+ PEOPLE COMING AND ILL NEED TO GET A PRIVATE ROOM FOR US TO RUN GAMES IF WE HAVE ANY MORE!

Next official tryouts will be on Friday, June 5th. This will be for anyone who wants to tryout for the team. It will be held more than likely around 9pm-12am ish EST , give or take a few minutes. Message me in game if you are interested.

Hey everyone. The tryouts last night went pretty well, although we are still looking for every class.

Anyway, we will be having another tryout here pretty soon, so keep returning, or message me in game to get times!

tryouts at 11pm EST tonight, in about an hour

Having unoffical tryouts tomorrow, May 29th at 11pm EST, mssg me if you think youll be able to make it.

Still looking for every class

Still looking for every class

We have a good amount of D/P and D/D Eles trying out here soon enough. Im not saying if you are either of these, not to contact me, but there will be tryouts for these classes! Still looking for others
