Next time, don’t take any of the nodes and suicide till losing 500-0 .
The only way to fix spvp is an expansion, forget about it till next year, atleast.
Arena.net is a company making money, not a pvp foundation or the recipe of all ur esport dreams and hopes, if they are smart, they will have some dudes working on it, enough to fix the worst, and try to retain whatever playerbase remains with hope and dreams (much cheaper than reality).
…I mostly agree.
Though I dunno why the hell you put mesmer as a 5.5 lol wot? Cannot be serious.
Because he is a mesmer .

I feel so bad and dirty when i play against a warrior that it hurts my soul. Same thing happens in Hot Join when i use a mesmer or a thief. Or with an Ele in spvp.
Right now i just play engi, necro or guardian, they are the only classes that I can play without feeling bad and dirty, except when i play against a warrior, those poor people are cursed by arena.net.
Right now, ascended aren’t a problem, because it’s just the jewelry (just some stats, no extra armor and no extra atack), u can still do wvw and pve with good chances (fractals aside), well pve, u can do it with greens, really. I do a lot of roaming in wvw with an engi and i don’t have any ascended stuff, just exotics, and u can own enemy dudes without them, even if they have all the ascended jewelry.
But when we have armor and weapons, well, that’s extra armor, extra atack and extra stats from all the pieces of your equipment, there we can have a problem (atleast those of us that like to roam in wvw), we will need those pieces, we will need to do fractals, dailies or whatever that gives the ascended goodies.
Hello there, can you say which day exactly TUP was seen zerging? I´m just curious to know as we usualy tend to avoid precisely that kind of behaviour.
Most players tend to place platoons (large groups of organised players) into the same category as zergs (large groups of mindless players that typically SpawnVDoor).
Basically they are complaining about people grouping up.
@Baldric – platoons definitely don’t spam boons and abilities. Their boons and abilities are planned according to their tactical plays and movements. If you watch the Piken Square videos that is really obvious – even the PUs know how to be part of a platoon/battalion and are deliberate about their skill usage.
Fancy name for a bunch of dudes runing as close as posible to the one with the hat to avoid aoe damage… lol
Yep, it’s amazing to see a charge, the initial aoe boon, the stealth, the 2 seconds lag and the aoe boon/damage spam.
It’s funny, everyone seems to fight against infinite enemy numbers.
If you ask me, the one’s with more numbers is the one that was making more points, after all, gw2 wvw is all about numbers.
But really, who cares about wining or losing, because zerging is the way to victory, and zerging is the worst thing ever, the more bigger the zerg, the worst. When the zerg is big enough you just spam boons and aoe’s with 3 seconds of lag (to like this you must be a really really dedicated wvw player, victory at any cost, even if the cost is hours of terrible gameplay).
I can’t imagine what kind of hell must be to play in a Tier 1 server, but the people that do it should get monetary payment from arena.net for every hour played.
Right now is not a huge deal (i can own dudes with ascendeds in wvw because the difference is just some stat points), but when we have full ascended, with weapons and armor, i will need to farm 3 years for my 3 mains (yea, i dont have a main) or i will die often to the other wvw full ascended dudes.
Guess i will need to play just one class/build.
Thanks, arena.net .
If u want i can do a SOTG right here, and it will take less than 20 seconds:
“We know about this bug, issue or whatever and we are working on it.”
“Amazing things are coming but they are not ready so we can’t talk about them.”
Done.
Why are u still trying to balance the game for the dead horse (spvp) ? No offence intended, you failed, kitten happens in life, move on. Isn’t it a better idea to balance the game for pve and wvw, that some people still play ? And serioulsy, cut the esport crap, it isn’t funny anymore, too old joke.
It’s a really good idea.
I’m pretty sure we will see soon some cool equipment and weapon skins in the gem shop for pvp. They know already that tickets were a bad idea, and to make money you don’t need to reinvent the wheel, just do what works.
I think that most gw2 issues, here and in pve, come from reinventing the wheel in almost every aspect of the game. Sure it’s cool to not have tanks and healers, but how you balance classes and dungeons for pve then ?
Deleted my 80 thief. I felt dirty every time i played with it in WvW. Now i’m using an engi, and i don’t feel dirty anymore.
The only thing “overpowered” of a thief is how easy they are to use, it took me 2 or 3 days to use the thief to a decent level. Sure stealth is good and nice, and it allows u to escape most of the times, but u still die to aoe’s pretty fast.
The ele took me a week atleast, to use to a decent level, but it’s also true that the standar whatever/whatever/whatever/30/30 tanky build it’s the most overpowered thing u can imagine, the only thing it lacks is burst damage, and it doesn’t matter when u can stack 20 might’s. Add to that the abilities to negate enemy projectiles plus the downed vapor form, and eles are the king of WvW (and spvp).
It’s amazing how people can fool themselves, the game is great! we just don’t have enough players. Sure, sure.
It reminds me of that dude who tries to sell the house for 200.000 but can’t, so instead of accepting reality itself, he tries to reason why he cant do it, it must be the economy, you know, the bubble, the employment, etc etc. Sure, sure, just wait 1 year and everything will be fine.
But hey, i’m not ur mother, so if u want to keep playing and believing in the second coming of guild wars 2 pvp, our saviour, it’s ok. I mean, it could be way worse, you could be in a park getting high with LSD.
I will tell u a secret, u know all these people that say I like the challenge of playing in the loser team, wining so easy is boring, etc etc ?
They are lying, thats why u need autobalancing, and it happens in all the games, not just Guild Wars 2. I’ve seen what happens in a game without autobalancing (BF3 at launch), teams end up like 32 vs 10, and the next round the server is empty. It was funny to see. And kitten
The class has one good spec, but this spec is really really good (it’s the spec that probably 90% of eles use), it gives you, good condi removal, good aoe heals, good mobility, good tanking, easy access to all kinds of boons for you and your party and cc.
Obviously, no other class/spec has something like that, it gives you evertything except good damage and burst, and this spec still does more damage than the tanking guardian.
It will be nerfed, for sure.
Well, if u read what arena.net wants with the ele, they are overpowered by design, so it’s working as intended .
It makes sense, if the playerbase is small, at any given time, how many teams will be there trying to play with rating close to yours ? I will say not many.
The real problem here is, even if they give us ranking and match-making, the playerbase is already too small. Giving gold, karma and/or experience for WvW and PvE is a good idea to get pve players to spvp, maybe some of them enjoy it and we have more players.
Spvp: Warriors are one of the bottom.
WvW: For zerg vs zerg and as a crowd control/dps they are pretty good. For roaming, others are better.
Pve: They are the king of the freaking dungeons. Fraking number 1 top.
It must be pretty hard to balancethe warrior for pve without screwing the pvp…
What’s the huge deal about giving some gold, karma and/or experience in spvp, as long as it’s better to do open world pve or dungeons to get gold, experience and/or karma, pve players can play pve and spvp players get some for wvw or pve, and maybe some pve players try spvp.
Spvp is dead.
Long live pve!!
U will need to find something else to spend ur free time .
Muahhaah im laughing so hard right know. Just imagine all the spvp tears .
I will laugh so hard when the january and february patches come and there is almost 0 kitten fixed .
Too late. Even solo queue and events won’t revive this death horse.
There is only 2 ways to “sort of” revive it, gw2 spvp becomes free to play with cosmetics as source of revenue, or you give gold, karma and some kitten usefull for pve or wvw for playing spvp (and give it to everyone, just for playing, not 100 gems if u win a paid a tournament…).
Gw2, an esport ahhaa, it’s not even a succes as a pvp game. It’s not going to happen, ever.
I’m pretty sure all the messages “We are woking on it…” are just cheap ways to prolong the final moments of gw2 “esport spvp”, so maybe some dudes buy gems to buy tikets or buy the game for the spvp. Pve is the way, and maybe some wvw, if you are here for the esport, well, remember the good early times, when everything about gw2 spvp was true, good and sweet, and move to another game .
With the huge need of more players for spvp, i see no reason to deny them some gold, exp or karma.
And bots won’t probably even exist in spvp, unless they give more gold in spvp than botting in open world.
