While I cannot complain as I have about 8-9 GoB’s (as they are easy to get), getting one doesn’t take as much time as some would think. In 1 month (with my casual playing), I managed to get about 3-4. Also with the PiP system, ive been getting the instant boosts to the track (and this is all while being on the losing skirmished about 50% of the time).

Honestly roaming is pretty easy, even in 1v1’s all you have to do is take a meta spvp build, tweak it to take a ton of escapes/leaps/stealth anything that lets you engage in combat and retreat from it at will. Then take SPvP stats that have been banned. Get full ascended in those stats, food + utility. Then proceed to gank players or do 1v1 and if you make a few mistakes, you just reset the fight an infinite number of times. (unlike spvp where if you dont cap and hold a node you lose, with this type of play you can do whatever).

Wow, you just delved into every roamers minds and pinpointed what they do with a blanket description.

/sarcasm

Thats what “starter” roamers may do. I can guarantee that real roamers dont just take pvp builds, add ways to escape and voila. Good roamers know this doesn’t work as often as you portray.

These are the roamers that are generally easy bags to any semi decent roamer (There are some that I have encountered that were skilled fighters using pvp builds, however 90%+ ended up beat. Not only by me, but by others)

I disagree because I go into wvw with a hybrid spvp build, modified sometimes for zvz if I’m in the zerg. Using full ascended pve zerker stats and I’m usually able to kill or run from 70-80% of most pro roamers. I play like this as dragonhunter, hammer rev, druid and necro. When I do kill them it’s because my bursts catches them off guard, because they are using Maurader or sometimes celestial stats. I time my dodge rolls from spvp training so there attacks don’t hit me and I kill them faster then they kill me.

The ones I run from and don’t bother with are the ones in full soldier/sentinel stats where I do zero damage to them and they wait for me to run out of skills to use before they very slowly kill me (of course by using overpowered stats that stack vit + tough. The reason I play like this is because I’m too cheap to change all my pve gear from zerk to maurader for roaming, and if you’re good, zerk is better for backline zvz play. I also find that zerk gear is more then enough to deal with most roamers.

Out of those 4 classes you play, really only 1 poses any threat to a “pro roamer” so if you are beating them, then they are probably not “pro” (granted there may be some fights you may win, however any “pro roamer” would win the majority)

Maybe its the tiers that I have been in, however those roamers that run PvP builds are the ones that usually get beat. Also good roamers (again, may just be my tier(s)) tend to lean toward DPS over soldier like stats as hitting like a wet noodle does little when roaming, unless you are running a troll build)

Shouldn’t have to test it to know it’s awful.

Actually, you do.

Think of it as what Microsoft does…instead of hiring hackers and code breakers to find exploits and vulnerabilities, Anet released the update for the public to casually enjoy until someone finds one of these exploits.

Its actually what a LOT of companies do, not just ANet.

If you need a list of some other companies, or verification that this practice is true, google is your friend. You can learn lots when you research

You guys can put whatever label or justification you want on it, but chasing down players that don’t want a 1v1 because they aren’t speced for it and u get no reward for it seems like bullying to me. It barely helps out your server and then the rest of the time I see roamers standing around in an open field waiting for people to come along. Seems like they want pvp where they stand little chance of losing.

Also saying that everyone has access to the same builds, while true the difference between a 1v1 build (which might it add uses stats and skills that were deemed op and were balanced out of spvp for that exact reason, or were balanced out because the goal is to hold an objective and not reset a fight a million times at your leisure) vs someone speced for zerg vs zerg, is like someone going up against a hand cannon with a knife.

Roamers are simply seeking unfair matchups and little else.

Bully implies that one side is always weak, which is a risky assertion.

chasing down players that don’t want a 1v1 because they aren’t speced for it

If a player is not spec for 1×1, which he does by walking alone on WvW? Being on the tail is a flaw that many commanders even make big curses when it happens. Being killed by gankers is the consequence of the error.

I agree with everything said ugrakarma.

Long story short, if you don’t want to fight 1v1, ALWAYS stick with someone. If you are caught not in a group, then it’s fair game as this is to resemble a war. Don’t wanna die, then change your build to suit what you should expect. Couldn’t tell ya how many whispers I got beating people in 1v1, saying stuff like “You caught me in a 1v1 thats why you won, wait til I jump on x class next time lololol”, or " Of course you beat me (insert excuse to make themselves not look as bad).

I tend to find outnumbered fights to better sharpen my skill and to find better fights (reapers and other daredevils are too easy most of the time, need a challenge involving skill so I seek out outnumbered)

I enjoy listening to these people say roaming is bullying. It’s nice to see people who clearly have never attempted actual roaming chime in.

Personally roaming is anything from 1-5 players, with 5 being on the high end and the ideal being 2-3 if you want good fights (though I love solo roaming). Actual roamers aren’t looking for even numbered fights usually and want to challenge themselves to do group v X. Having played in gvg guilds at the height of gvg, I would easily say a good roaming guild is much more difficult to play in and requires more skill.

As for roaming vs havok. It’s about your group size and objective. Havok in my eyes is much more objective based and isn’t focused on fights. While roaming is entirely centered around fighting.

And for those who seems to think that all roamers do is pick off Zerg tails, by all means check out some of my guilds or others videos on YouTube. See if it’s just us picking off zergs tails.

I will agree that roamers are not looking for fair fights. While (lately) I have been solo roaming, I have been looking for 1vx fights for the sole purpose of bettering my skills. I current WvW main a daredevil who doesn’t play a meta build.

As for zerg tails, its fun for me solo to see how many people I can pull from the main zerg to try to get me…usually pulling numbers away from a zvz fight (not all the time but a lot of the time). When in a group of 2 or more, i’m usually also focused a bit less on fights and more on taking/defending towers.

Also side note: I fought some vT a few days ago…small group and one was a rev. Best rev I have ever fought and our k/d ratio vs each other (in a 1v1) was about 50/50. He targeted me every chance he got which made it better, although not so much when he was running with a reaper/daredevil and i forgot what the other one was (chrono maybe?). Dunno who the rev was but give them a kudos from the SF daredevil with the Soap tag and I hope to see them again

Open World PvP

Posted by: Bigpapasmurf.5623

Bigpapasmurf.5623

Imo this is what WvW is for. This is one game that I believe doesn’t need Open World PvP.

If you were looking into something like WoW, Anet will need to get more servers and make them Open World vP servers, which takes time and money. They should just focus on making what they have now better before introducing a new game mode.

No new servers. Literally just implement a flagging system, so that if both players want to fight they can. No time or money necessary. Wouldn’t take the focus away from any other development. It’s just a few lines of code. It’s fun to pvp in new places especially in cool maps from expansions. No griefing, has to be mutual. I don’t see a reason not to add it as an optional feature.

Tbh, it would probably be easier and/or cheaper to either adjust the WvW maps they have now, or create another WvW map. I respect your idea, however its not something I can see gw2 having (maybe gw3?)

Just “Roam” in a group of 10 with mercy runes and res food like all “Roamers” in 2017.

That wouldn’t make them “Roamers” then but “Havocers”, thus stating the 2nd “Roamers” becomes void :p

It’s been years, this has been brought up before many times, but no change so why not tease a little more.
We hear the argument that the spvp is balanced around 5v5, so we have our circles gamemode and ranking system. If I were to be narrowminded I would say that pvp interest has lowered itself due to us only being able to have this gamemode. Yes you could say classbalance has impact on interest, but at least every season theres new tweaks and new builds, where you once again have to adapt, yet few of them are truly strong if you are organized leaving less diversity.

Always the same 5v5 circle maps, with few core builds revolving around these circles. Why not 40v40 map, some crazy big map with mini objectives with each team having a base or an endobjective at each end. Or 1v1. Or 20v20, even 10v10. Capture the flag, king of the hill, something creative. We have good gameplay/combat, why not try something new after all these years. Some may say the playerbase is too small, but if you start with small changes, add a new mode by mode and interest would spark up, yes?
We are on a journey where we still havent fully experienced what gear-equalized pvp could offer. FUN. Or are we still waiting for esports to truly kick off?

What you described is pretty much sums up WvW in a nutshell.

Well, the way i look at it is…..in order to get good its best to fight against good.

A game, by definition should be fun. Regardless of rhetoric, when a person gets pounded repeatedly they will tend to either leave or get bitter and angry.

Witness the current conditions in PvP.

To answer the OP’s question: There are too few people playing,. So the game has no choice but to match new players against strong players.. I think that the game should distribute experienced and new players on each team. This doesn’t seem to be happening.

If we’re getting technical, “Fun” is also subjective as well. Some people may enjoy the challenge as it potentially grants an opportunity to improve one’s skill. Not saying everyone does (obv looking at this post some people don’t), however some people do.

Bigpapasmurf.5623

Two thieves can be devastating. Of course people will insist it can never work and force a thief to swap to a class they are less effective with.

So many losses that way.

two thieves sucks. you sacrifice so much node pressure for a thief who will be sidelined in every encounter.

I must concur…2 thieves running the same build is not as effective in PvP as 2 thieves with diff builds. My teef isn’t a decapper, but mainly the +1/duelist type, where as there may be one who excels at decapping. Have 2 teefs that can decap is a waste and easy to fend off of a node, same with 2 duelist builds…easy to back/side cap. 1 whose build focuses on capping and 1 on fighting is a deadly pair.

What kills the build diversity in wvw is having to spend hours farming new gear if you want to change your build.

Uhhh…thats the beauty of having Ascended gear. You dont need an endless grind to change stats. If you are going for exo…exo gear is “typically” cheap and easy to make as it is.

I appreciate your input to my statement tho.

as a Daredevil with p/p, I stay ranged and try to always be moving. Watch for block and dont go melee. I can usually pewpew them down and interrupt some of their skills.

For bonus points, the DD heals generally by either blasting with SB or by heart seeker into it. If your friend walked into the tree, they “may” have been able to destealth the DD :p

Banning the only halfway decent players because you get bullied into doing it by opportunistic people faking outrage in order to further kill off their scene because all they care about is their own ego.

What are you basing these bans on? TOS being broken? In that case I advice you ban half of NA, including the people that probably endlessly whined to you about doing this.

IMO it’s none of anyones business other than anet of what people does w their ingame tourn winnings. The only way I could find a ban justified from your end is if someone actually changed the outcome of a match by cheating. Nothing like that happened.

But yeah, I’m sure jeff convincing you of banning the team that always beats him is all done in the ‘’fairness of competition’’ and not you getting bullied by whispers and not having the nuts to take a stance.

I think you should just respect who ppl choose to ban from their tournaments for their own reasons. Don’t forget the ppl you banned from participating in your own tournament who you must admit would have been competitive in some sort of aspect but were not allowed to compete for essentially being shady as hell.

Shots fired. I heard rumors about that but wasn’t sure if it was true or not.

When I hear about any class being nerfed for unneeded reasons:

Learn how to fight them. Adapt by altering your builds. Meta builds are not god mode builds, its merely builds that can work in the right hands, which could also technically be any build out there.

Many people don’t want to change as they wouldn’t be Meta then, or then they have to learn to go without certain skills/stats…etc. Its like working for an IT place, saying something is too hard for you to do so demand that the company change it. Sorry to say buttercup but if you don’t want to adapt, you are on your own.

There are ways to beat any build/class with any build/class. Couldn’t tell ya how long it took me to learn to beat my counter builds/classes. Ive changed my build many times, and changed my playstyle. Every build has a counter (whether soft or hard) and every class has access to those weaknesses but a lot of people don’t want to change to do it.
