Same old story when eles were crazy op months and months ago and every bad around rerolled ele…after nerf good ones kept playing and everyone else just left for another fotm (I’m not talking about this meta, here ele is almost unviable unless you have a team made for it)…after war nerf good wars are still going to play war and nabs just riding fotm (Like 80%+ wars atm) are going to reroll something else….welcome to fotm wars 2…where meta plays you
Playing pvp from start and after all those updates presented as “Uber game changing pvp love ohmygawd esports patches” ended up with a load of crap i would say we all have better to wait until patch for getting excited…i don’t believe anymore until i see with my own eyes…not in this game…
this post is hilarious… rank 20 in pvp took me like a month, and the wvw season is 7 weeks. I think they should give wolf finishers.
if you want pvp finishers you go pvp..and would be even better if they remove rank points from hotjoin at all leaving only glory rewards, so maybe ppl would need to play decently in order to get ranks…like it should be
A trait like Diamond Skin is poorly designed… A cooler trait idea might be an Earth GM trait that reads
Immune to burning while attuned to fire
Immune to blind while attuned to air
Immune to chill while attuned to water
Immune to bleed while attuned to earth
This would promote active play: say you’re been chased by a shortbow 1 spamming spirit ranger? switch to earth and negate a huge chunk of his damage. It also would promote active play by opponents and it would be definitely worthy of a GM trait
That sounds so awesome.
On demand perma immunity to something is always bad…always…
PvP and PvE/WvW are separate entities – to an extent. What you are asking is that they totally separate all skills across all classes for 2 different game modes. Why else reward the differing game modes in the same fashion? That seems to be quite the daunting task. Do you think it would be better to recognize that wvw and pvp are the same beast and let the pve’ers have their own place?
I’d venture that this is a Pandora’s box best not opened.
wvsw IS pve actually…or even better let’s say pvd (doors) pvz (zerg) but still not pvp…at all…a mode where you can get better just farming mobs and getting better gear and foods instead of skills can’t be called pvp…or at least not in guild wars world…
It probably only takes about 40 hours of hotjoin zerging to get to r20. Finishing all of the WvW achievements is probably a similar time commitment. I don’t think it’s a huge deal.
its a huge difference, the skills you learn from getting rank 20 in pvp compared to wvw zerging is huge. + its a pvp finisher why the hell would it be a wvw prize, if they plan on giving away a finisher it should be a special wvw limited edition finisher that people can look back on to show as prove of being part of this season.
You know…they can’t farm sh anymore and they are not able to get finishers going pvp…so here’s the solution..lol
can u just completely separate spvp from game ,and make like spvp patches every 2 weeks ,there is no point in spvp being even similar to pve or wvw , u can give something like “reward coin” (name doesnt metter:) for tournaments and daily /monthly achivements ,vendor that will sell u pvp wvw or pve stuff for those "reward coins " ………
for those" reward coins" u could buy like super shiny new armor or stuff that people like ….
and make seasons with rewards based on team and solo leader,not every year season but every month or 2 …..
and leagues would be nice to ,to prevent playing against teams much lower skill ,or much higher skill…..
and u could spent like 1000 $ per month at least for reward on monthly tourney,it is not much but better than nothing,and give it by esl …..
ty for reading,sorry for english mistakes
we already had paid tournaments with gems…but giving rewards that are actually worth something seems not possible here….
Everyone knows that you have to use keybinds in a fast-moving, quick reaction game like GW2.
But how often do you have to look at your keys to make sure you hit a distant keybind properly?
I suspect that the best players “touch type” in a superior manner, hardly EVER having to look at the keyboard.
I know that I have to look too much, and I really should be keeping my eyes on my opponent and the overall battle situation.
Never look at keyboard unless i have to write something like most of players here i guess…i really can’t figure out how someone can possibly play looking at keys before..in reaction time based situations (Evading a burst, interrupting and so on…) would be a pretty sure fail…real problem is when you change you keyboard, took something like 4-5 days to get used to the new one and went hotjoin only cuz i didn’t want to play tpvp while i was still hitting wrong keys. If you have an old keyboard that you wanna change just get a good new one, bind your skills and start playing without looking at it…you’ll make a mess at the beginning but you’ll eventually get used to it after playing for some time..just go hotjoin until you’re ready to go, noone cares if you miss a key in hotjoin..
Imo it would be silly to add a gold reward because PvP is a different game to PvE and Wvw essentially. There is no use for gold in PvP because everything is brought with glory.
yeah..except for black lion stuff like char slots and skins, for dyes that you need to buy in order to use them in pvp, for custom arenas that cost gems (= gold or real money)….and so on…
There still seems to be a set of people who don’t care about winning and just want to run around in hotjoin bursting lightly armored classes.
And when you find yourself on one of these teams, about the only thing you can do is watch who the glass cannons are and avoid them in the next match by joining the opposite team.
It’s called casual friendly…pve heroes love it, anet loves pve heroes….guess what? 90% of ppl in hotjoin still don’t care but winning even with revised rewards…they just want to kill things you know..
Guys guys..please…we all know this game must be “casual friendly” and hotzerg is the faster way to bring pve heroes to pvp, they don’t give a kitten if it’s actually lame and totally unskilled…they just want noobs to have fun, not a single kitten given to competitive side…we all know how it is…aswell as we know this is not gonna change..
Fortunately while playing mesmers most of wars out here are terribad and just fotm riders….they can’t even spot real mesmer so they just start stunning clones like if there’s no tomorrow…..while being laughed hard obviously…when i sometimes go hotjoin i love jumping around them while trolling with phase retreat and decoy…you can clearly “feel” their rage…but versus any just decent war it’s really hard to keep evading that continuous stun spam since your defensive cooldowns are way longer than their stun’s cds..they can spam all day, with immunity and/or stability up too…you can’t..
Yeah pretty tired bout “l2 position yourself” crap…if you get a bomb engi or a permafear necro (Maybe with corrupt boon too) with any spec not running permastability (And that CAN’T run it just because build/class doesn’t allow too) there is NO way to get skyhammer without being pushed down, go kittening read kb and fear ranges before talking bs. Those who just say “don’t stand on the edges or stability” crap simply know kitten bout decapping specs mechanics, a far point assaulter like bomb engi is meant to kik bunkers out of points (Read again..BUNKERS, that means lots of stability/survivability and cc) and you have no kittening where to stand at skyhammer since only “safe” spot from kb is with your back on the asura gate but gess what? If you position like that camera just randomly zoom in and you can’t see kitten…
This map is broken and rewards lame gameplay, there’s nothing about skill or whatever, it’s just a spec war…who has the more kb, fear and so on wins. Or should we all roll bomb engis, permafear necros, eles with tornado, hammer bunker guardians and kitten like that in order to play that kitten anet? 95% of pvp community agrees skyhammer is just stupid and lame map and noone wants it in soloq except those few abusing it actually thinking to be so pro just because they can exploit (With their build not with their skills) a map that has been broken since its launch and only led to neverending problems and lame mechanics..
because pvp, as it was in gw1, must be balanced only around player skill…not around gear and how much time someone spent killing ai mobs…pretty obvious…that’s why wvsw is included into pve world and totally separated from pvp, as it should be…
So i have like 250+ of those bags around…are they worth opening for a pvp-only player or should i sell them straight? Is there something decent for pvp inside? Since i don’t give a single kitten to pve (And with pve i mean zerg vs zerg too) stuff unless it’s worth big money…and i srsly dubt it..
But for god’s sake can’t you just remove that kittening map already? It’s lame, it’s dumb, everyone who plays at decent level hates it…dam you made something even worse than capricorn with this stupid istant death mechanic and it’s bringing so many problems too with glory farmers…kittening deal with it, face reality anet…that map is a total, enormous, epic fail and you should get rid of it asap
Or even better put some decent rank points rewards in tpvp and remove rank points (Leave glory np) from hotjoin..is it really so hard? REALLY?
Still funny to see so many war players who pretty much spam random stuns all day long whining about a mid to low tier glass spec that spams (And again bp is not spammable at all due to its init cost) something that don’t even damage just in order to stay alive…are you seriously qqing because you can’t get (Arguable cause decent warriors actually CAN) one spec while you can still faceroll pretty much everything else? I mean…are you kittening serious?
I’m a warrior, Whirl is a mother effer. Didn’t have to stand in it.
Yeah…times are tough for warrior right now… with things like berserker’s stance and perma stun and 1k health per second regen
eye roll
hyperbole doesn’t help. Maybe the stance was on cd? Maybe he doesn’t play hammer? And if anythign the signet does not heal for 1k/sec.
Wanna know what’s hyperbole? Perma blind
Signet+ Adrenal health = 800 HP on a warrior not speced for healing. Throw in regen and you have 1K per second.
which warrior speccs for healing? just tried it in spvp (where it matters) and got ~400+~150 from adrenal health. perma blind of course is unrealistic but at one point i fought a r38 d/p thief and outside of zerk stance i was literally blinded for 90% of the time. yep, that’s bs.
and in that 10% of time you just need to land 1 stun to lock him down to death while he has to keep outplaying you just in order to survive…and THIS is bs. If you stand in bp and you are not able to dodge pistol shots you are just bad and you should not have chance to survive..but war is so op that you actually can still pop zerk stance and hammer him down while having no clue on how to fight another spec. So please stop embarassing yourself…and don’t say it’s something impossible cause many wars out here eat d\p thieves for breakefeast..and just for you to know bp is not spammable due to his really high initiative cost
Your bow is there for not being forced to go into blind field, chaos storms, wells and aoe in general….and since blind is one counter to crazy op warriors it’s ok, huge part of them just standing into bp while spamming and you can clearly figure the guy behind keyboard like “Why the kitten this thing is still up?” http://www.hurr-durr.com/
Your shortbow is there for not being forced to go into blind field, chaos storms, wells and aoe in general….and since blind is one counter to crazy op warriors it’s ok
Instead of going pvp many are exploiting bug that gives you kill points while stomping profession test dummies in heart of the mist…is this supposed to be a tactic to bring more pve heroes in hom or something? LOL
Seriously pve heroes stomping test dummies in hom for achievement instead of going pvp….line of being totally retrd have been crossed and as far as i know is probably bug using too since test dummies are not supposed to give you “kills”
I love how he calls things ‘improvements’ cause I am not seeing any.
giving op regen warriors better shoutheal to troll more and call it “support others”
If I would do such a work in my company, I’d have lost my job. But ye, they’re designers and we can’t see the brilliancy behind this creative work.
yeah…just look at all those who already left… dam ingrateful players not looking at how hard and good they’re working for us…too bad i already started being ingrateful too with this last kitten patch with still nothing for pvp…
You cannot earn any of the Halloween skins from PvP alone this time around. Once our progression/reward system is in place we will be in a much better place for dispersing gear for PvP accomplishments.
In other words…still nothing for pvp players…thank you, i don’t even want to complain anymore…and for sure not spending worthless words asking when the kitten this new reward system is going to be “in place”
